Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Mr English Channel, where learning English is easy and fun.
2
I'm Emily.
3
Hello, Emily.
4
Hi, everyone.
5
I'm happy you're here with us.
6
Emily, I saw the word test and suddenly I couldn't remember my own name.
7
Well, Paul, luckily I just said it.
8
Today's Day 5, the real English test, and we're bringing listening, speaking,
9
conversations, and everyday situations together.
10
Okay, that sounds useful.
11
But what counts as a good answer?
12
Do our listeners need to sound exactly like us?
13
Absolutely not.
14
A good answer shows you understand, or helps the conversation move forward.
15
You can use simple words, and your answer might be different from ours. That helps.
16
Sometimes I hear a learner give a clear answer, then change it because they think a longer answer must be better.
17
Right.
18
But Saturday at 6 can answer a question perfectly.
19
Today, listen for what someone actually needs to know, and don't worry about catching every word.
20
So, how should everyone use this episode?
21
I'd probably want a little extra time before you tell me the answer.
22
You'll have it.
23
We'll tell you when to answer, and you can pause the video whenever you need more time.
24
First, we'll practice understanding short conversations.
25
Good.
26
And let's make the first one familiar.
27
Two friends are planning their weekend but one detail changes.
28
Should listeners try to remember everything?
29
Just focus on their final plan.
30
I'll play one friend, and you'll play the other.
31
Our short dialogue starts now.
32
Hey, do you want to see a movie on Saturday afternoon?
33
I'd love to, but I'm helping my sister move until four.
34
Could we go in the evening?
35
Sure.
36
There's a show at 6 .30.
37
We could meet outside the theater at six. That works.
38
Let's eat after the movie, though.
39
I won't have time before it.
40
Okay.
41
I'll get the tickets online, and we can choose a restaurant later.
42
Thanks.
43
I'll see you outside at 6.
44
That's the end of our dialogue.
45
Your first question is this.
46
Are they seeing the movie in the afternoon or the evening?
47
Say your answer, then pause if you need more time.
48
Ready to check?
49
They're seeing it in the evening.
50
The afternoon was the first idea, but it wasn't the final decision.
51
Exactly.
52
Now try the second question.
53
What time are they meeting outside the theater?
54
Answer out loud before you hear Paul.
55
They're meeting at 6.
56
6 .30 is when the movie starts.
57
Those times are close, so connecting each time to an action really helps.
58
And that difference matters when you're making plans yourself.
59
Here's your third question.
60
Will they eat before or after the movie?
61
Take your time and answer.
62
They'll eat after the movie.
63
Emily's character says she won't have time before it.
64
But could someone just answer after?
65
Definitely.
66
That single word gives the information we asked for.
67
For a longer answer, you could say, they're having dinner after the movie.
68
Nice.
69
I noticed we never chose a restaurant.
70
If someone asks which restaurant they're going to, we can't name one yet.
71
Good catch.
72
They haven't decided would work.
73
Understanding a conversation also means knowing which information you haven't heard.
74
That's surprisingly hard sometimes.
75
My brain likes to fill in missing details, usually with pizza.
76
Can we try something with a different kind of change?
77
Let's try an appointment.
78
Listen for the new day, the time, and anything the customer needs to bring.
79
Our phone conversation starts now.
80
Hello.
81
I have a bike repair appointment on Tuesday morning, but I need to change it.
82
Is Wednesday available?
83
We're full on Wednesday.
84
We have an opening on Thursday at 9 .15, though.
85
Thursday works.
86
Should I bring the bike lock to you?
87
Yes.
88
Please bring the key if the lock's still on your bike.
89
We'll need to remove it before we start got it Thursday at 9 15
90
and I'll bring the key perfect that's the end of the call
91
which day is the new appointment give your answer now
92
and pause before we explain it it's Thursday Tuesday was the original appointment
93
and Wednesday was the day I requested neither one is the new appointment Right.
94
Now, what time should the customer arrive?
95
Say the time aloud.
96
You can replay the conversation if you want another listen.
97
The appointment's at 9 .15.
98
That's a quarter past nine, although you don't need that expression to answer correctly.
99
Exactly.
100
And here's one final detail.
101
What should the customer bring besides the bike?
102
Think about what the repair shop needs.
103
The key for the bike lock.
104
I nearly said the lock itself because that's what the customer asked about first.
105
You caught that difference, though.
106
If you missed it at home, try listening again with one question in mind.
107
What does the employee ask for?
108
A clear question gives your ears a very specific job.
109
I like that.
110
On another listen, I can focus on the answer instead of trying to remember every sentence.
111
And hearing something twice still counts as practice.
112
That's why listening to the reply matters.
113
The employee explains what's needed and gives a reason.
114
They'll remove the lock before starting the repair.
115
So we've followed changed plans and picked out useful details.
116
Now I'm curious about the next step.
117
What happens when the question's for us and we have to make our own answer?
118
That's where we're going next.
119
This time, there isn't one correct fact to remember.
120
You'll answer about your own life, and we'll show you a few ways to build your response.
121
All right.
122
Give me something I could hear from a new neighbor.
123
A friendly question, please.
124
We've only just met.
125
Hmm.
126
Fair enough.
127
Here's your question, everyone.
128
What do you like to do when you have a free afternoon?
129
Answer out loud and pause the video before Paul gives his example.
130
I like to go for a walk.
131
If the weather's bad, I usually stay home and watch a movie.
132
How's that for a neighbor answer?
133
It gives me something to ask about.
134
I could say, where do you usually walk?
135
But a listener might simply say, I like cooking.
136
And that works too.
137
Could we help that listener add something without turning a simple answer into a speech?
138
I wouldn't want to explain my entire life next to the
139
mailbox neither would your neighbor try one detail i like cooking
140
i usually make something with my kids now the other person knows a little more about you
141
that feels manageable let's change the question what's something you'd like to learn everyone say what it is
142
and if you can why pause here to give your answer my examples i'd like to learn to swim
143
because i want to feel comfortable in the water.
144
Your reason can be short, like, because it looks fun.
145
What if I understand the question, but I need a moment?
146
In a real conversation, I can't press pause on my neighbor.
147
You can say, let me think, or that's a good question, then take a breath.
148
Those phrases help you stay in the conversation while you choose your words.
149
Let me think.
150
I'd like to learn to dance because I have three moves and two involve looking for the exit.
151
Then you've already found your reason.
152
Here's another question for everyone.
153
Tell me about something you enjoyed recently.
154
Say what you did and one thing you liked about it.
155
Pause and answer now.
156
Here's mine.
157
I visited a friend on Sunday.
158
We made lunch together and it was nice to catch up.
159
That means we talked about what's happened in our lives.
160
And if catch up is new for you, talk works perfectly.
161
You could say, we talked for an hour.
162
Use words you can reach when you need them.
163
I like that advice.
164
But shouldn't learners try new expressions sometimes?
165
Staying with familiar words forever could get a little limiting.
166
Sure.
167
Try one new expression at a time.
168
Practice it in a sentence about your life so you have a real reason to remember it.
169
Then the comments could be a good practice space.
170
Tell us one thing you'd like to learn and why.
171
I'd love to see what everyone chooses.
172
Me too.
173
And if these challenges help you practice, like the video and subscribe to Mr. English Channel.
174
Now let's use your answers to keep a conversation going.
175
Yes, because answering is only part of it.
176
Sometimes someone tells you something and then there's that little silence.
177
What do you say next?
178
Let's practice that moment.
179
I'll start a short conversation as your co -worker.
180
Everyone listening, you'll provide the next line.
181
Our conversation starts now.
182
I finally finished that big project yesterday.
183
Your turn, everyone.
184
Respond to your co -worker, then ask a question if you can.
185
Pause now before we share possible answers.
186
You might say, that's great.
187
How do you feel? Or, nice.
188
Was it difficult?
189
Both responses connect to what your co -worker just told you.
190
Let's hear one continue.
191
I'll choose the first response.
192
That's great.
193
How do you feel?
194
Relieved, honestly.
195
I'm taking tomorrow off.
196
Now, everyone, what would you say to that?
197
Pause and give your next line.
198
One options.
199
Any plans for your day off?
200
That opens a new part of the conversation without suddenly changing the subject.
201
Exactly.
202
And that ends our co -worker example.
203
Let's try a friend who sounds disappointed.
204
Our next conversation starts here.
205
I didn't get the apartment I wanted.
206
That needs a different response.
207
Everyone, think about how your friend feels and say your next line.
208
Pause before Emily gives an example.
209
Oh, I'm sorry.
210
Are you looking at any other places?
211
You've shown you care, and you've given your friend a question they can answer.
212
Could, why didn't you get it, sound a little strong?
213
Maybe they don't know, or maybe they're tired of explaining.
214
It could, depending on your voice and your relationship you could start more gently.
215
Do you want to talk about it?
216
That lets your friend choose.
217
So a question can help, but we shouldn't ask five questions in a row.
218
I sometimes do that when I'm nervous and suddenly a friendly chat feels like an interview.
219
Try sharing something small, too.
220
You might say, apartment hunting can be really tiring.
221
Then let your friend decide what to say next.
222
Let's continue with that.
223
Do you want to talk about it?
224
Maybe later.
225
I could use a distraction right now.
226
Everyone, your friend wants a change of subject.
227
What could you suggest?
228
Pause and respond.
229
You could say, want to get some lunch?
230
Our friend example ends there.
231
You listen to their answer and change direction with them, which gives us something useful to bring into everyday situations.
232
Let's bring that listening skill into a coffee shop.
233
You ordered a small iced coffee, but the person at the counter hands you a hot one.
234
What could you say?
235
Pause and try it.
236
My answer is, excuse me, I ordered an iced coffee.
237
Could you change this, please?
238
It names the problem and asks for help without making a big speech.
239
And the employee might say, sorry about that, was it a small?
240
Now you have another turn.
241
Everyone answer the employee before we move on.
242
Yes.
243
A small, please.
244
That's our coffee shop example finished.
245
I'm glad we included the follow -up, because getting the first sentence out doesn't always finish the job.
246
Exactly.
247
At work, the first sentence might be someone else's request.
248
Imagine a co -worker says, Can you send me the updated file?
249
You have two files.
250
What would you ask?
251
Pause and answer.
252
Sure.
253
Do you mean the schedule or the budget?
254
You're checking which file they need.
255
Guessing could mean sending the wrong one and doing the work twice.
256
Suppose they answer, the schedule please, I need it before lunch.
257
What two things do you know now?
258
Say them out loud.
259
They need the schedule, and they need it before lunch.
260
If I'm busy, I might add, I can send it at 11.
261
Does that work?
262
That gives them something clear to respond to.
263
Our work example ends there.
264
Now imagine you're calling a restaurant.
265
You want a table for 4 at 7, but 7's full.
266
I'll be the employee.
267
Hello, Green Street Cafe, how can I help you?
268
Everyone, ask for your table.
269
Pause before Paul shares his version.
270
Hi, could I book a table for 2 at 6 .30 tonight?
271
We'd like to sit inside, please.
272
That includes the details the cafe needs to check.
273
Here's the surprise.
274
We only have outdoor tables at 6 .30.
275
There's a table inside at 7.
276
Everyone, choose an option and explain your choice.
277
Pause and speak now.
278
I'd say, 6 .30 works.
279
We'd prefer to sit inside.
280
But what if I need to ask Maya first?
281
She might have an early morning tomorrow.
282
Then try, let me check with my friend.
283
Can I call you back?
284
You can ask for time before making a decision.
285
For our challenge, let's choose 7 and finish booking.
286
Okay, the table's booked.
287
Now tell Maya about the change.
288
Everyone explain the new time and the reason.
289
Pause here and leave your spoken message.
290
Here's one version.
291
Hey, Maya, I booked a table for 7 because there weren't any tables inside at 6 .30.
292
Does 7 work for you?
293
And Maya replies, perfect, thanks for calling.
294
That ends our mixed challenge.
295
You understood a message, made a request, considered two choices, and explained a change.
296
If your words were different, check whether your friend could understand the plan.
297
you might have used shorter sentences and still given her everything she needed today.
298
Think back to the part that took the most effort.
299
Was it remembering the time, forming your request, or explaining your choice? pick just one thing you'd like to practice again.
300
Just one?
301
I can imagine someone thinking, I struggled with everything.
302
What would you tell that listener?
303
I'd ask them to choose one sentence they wanted to say.
304
Maybe it's, Could I book a table for two?
305
Practice that sentence with different times until it feels more familiar.
306
So tomorrow they could try 6, then 7 .30, then 8.
307
That's something small enough to fit into a normal day, even while they're washing dishes.
308
Yes, and they can notice what gets easier.
309
Maybe the words come faster.
310
Maybe they need one replay instead of three.
311
Those changes are signs that practice is helping.
312
I think there's another change, too.
313
Being willing to speak while you're still unsure.
314
That can feel uncomfortable, especially when the other person seems busy.
315
It can, but you're allowed to ask a question, take a moment, or try again.
316
You don't have to earn your place in a conversation by speaking perfect English.
317
I'm glad you said that.
318
Behind every answer today was a simple human need, making plans, getting help, sharing news, or spending time with someone.
319
And every useful sentence gives you another way to meet those needs.
320
Thank you for practicing with us and giving your voice a little more space today.
321
Keep one sentence from this episode with you and look for a chance to use it.
322
Emily, thanks for helping us through the test, coffee mistakes and all.
323
Thanks, Paul.
324
And thanks, everyone, for joining Mr. English Channel, where learning English is easy and fun.
325
Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time.
326
Bye, Paul.
327
Bye, Emily.
328
Bye, everyone.
329
Take care, and keep speaking English.

इस पाठ के बारे में
आप "Can You Pass This Real English Test? | English Challenge Day 5 | English Podcast" के साथ Shadowing तकनीक का उपयोग करके अपनी अंग्रेजी का अभ्यास कर रहे हैं।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
