Hello everyone and welcome back to Mr. English Channel,

where learning English is easy and fun.

I'm Emily.

And hello to all our wonderful listeners.

It is so good to be here today.

How are you, Emily?

You look very happy.

I am very happy, Paul.

The sun is shining, I have a delicious tea,

and we have a very special episode today.

I can see that.

I am doing well too.

But I had a little surprise this morning.

A small problem, actually.

Oh no!

What happened?

Well, I couldn't find my keys.

I looked under the sofa,

in my pockets, even in the fridge.

In the fridge, Paul?

Why were your keys in the fridge?

I don't know.

I was making a sandwich and maybe I put them there?

But they were actually in my shoe.

In your shoe.

That is very funny.

Well, I am glad you found them and you are here now.

Me too.

I am ready to learn and talk.

What is our topic today?

Today, we are going to listen to a story about a man named Daniel and his friend Sophia.

It is a story about a big change in life.

Ooh, I like stories.

Stories are a great way to hear real English.

Exactly.

But before we start the story,

we have a small favor to ask our friends at home.

Okay, let's get started.

We are going to listen to the first part of the story.

This is scene one.

Daniel has some bad news.

You look different today.

What happened?

I lost my job.

What?

When?

This morning.

They closed my department.

I'm so sorry.

How do you feel?

Honestly, scared.

I've worked there for six years.

That's a long time.

I don't even know what to do next.

Maybe this is a new beginning.

It doesn't feel like one.

Wow, Emily, that is a very sad start.

Poor Daniel.

It is, Paul.

Losing a job is very difficult.

He said, I lost my job.

It's a very common way to say you don't have work anymore.

Yes.

And he said it happened this morning,

so it is very new.

He must be in shock.

I think so too.

Sophia asked a great question.

How do you feel?

That is such a kind thing to ask a friend.

It is.

And Daniel was very honest.

He said, honestly scared.

Honestly is a great word, isn't it?

We use it when we want to tell the truth about our feelings.

Like if you ask me,

Paul, do you like my hat?

And I say, honestly, Paul, it's a bit big.

Hey, my hat is perfect.

But I understand.

Daniel is scared because he worked there for six years.

That is a long time.

Yes, he said, I've worked there for six years.

He used that structure because he started six years ago,

and he was there until today.

Right.

And now he is confused.

He said, I don't even know what to do next.

Have you ever felt like that, Emily?

Oh, many times.

100

When I moved to this city, I didn't know anyone.

101

I didn't know where the supermarket was.

102

I didn't know where the park was.

103

I felt lost.

104

I felt like that when I started this podcast.

105

I was nervous.

106

I thought, But what do I say?

107

How do I help people?

108

But look at you now.

109

You are a star.

110

Sophia tries to be positive, though.

111

She says, maybe this is a new beginning.

112

I like Sophia.

113

She is a glass half-full person.

114

She looks for the good things.

115

But Daniel is too sad.

116

He says, it doesn't feel like one.

117

That's natural.

118

When something bad happens, it's hard to see the new beginning right away.

119

You just feel the end.

120

Exactly.

121

Department is a good word, too.

122

He said, they closed my department.

123

In a big company, a department is like a small group or a section, right?

124

Like the sales department or the marketing department.

125

Yes, exactly.

126

If the whole department closes, everyone loses their job.

127

That's very stressful.

128

Okay.

129

I want to know what happens next.

130

Does Daniel find a new job?

131

Does he go home and sleep?

132

Let's find out.

133

Let's listen to Scene 2.

134

Sophia is going to ask Daniel a very important question.

135

Can I ask you something?

136

Sure.

137

Have you ever really enjoyed that job?

138

Not really.

139

It was safe.

140

But you've always talked about starting your own business.

141

That was just a dream.

142

Why was?

143

Because dreams are risky.

144

So is staying somewhere you're not happy.

145

I've never taken a big risk before.

146

Maybe this is your moment.

147

Ooh, Sophia is very smart.

148

She asked, have you ever really enjoyed that job?

149

That is a deep question, Paul.

150

And Daniel's answer was, well, he said, not really.

151

It was safe.

152

Safe.

153

That's a powerful word.

154

It means he was not worried about money,

155

but maybe he was not happy.

156

I think many people stay in safe jobs,

157

even if they are bored.

158

But Sophia remembers something.

159

She says, you've always talked about starting your own business.

160

Starting your own business.

161

Wow.

162

Like opening a shop or a cafe or maybe a tech company?

163

Maybe.

164

But Daniel says that was just a dream.

165

He's using the past because he thinks it's impossible now.

166

But Sophia is so good.

167

She asks why was.

168

She wants him to keep the dream alive.

169

I love that.

170

And then they talk about risk.

171

Daniel says dreams are risky.

172

Risky means something could go wrong.

173

Like, hmm, like jumping into a swimming pool when you don't know if the water is cold.

174

Yes, that's a small risk.

175

But starting a business is a big risk.

176

You might lose your money.

177

But Sophia says something very beautiful.

178

She says, so is staying somewhere you're not happy.

179

That is also a risk.

180

A risk to your happiness.

181

Wow, Paul.

182

That's very deep.

183

You are a philosopher today.

184

I try.

185

Daniel admits he has never taken a big risk before.

186

It's scary to do something new for the first time.

187

It is.

188

But Sophia says, maybe this is your moment.

189

I love that phrase, your moment.

190

It means it is the perfect time for him to try.

191

I agree.

192

Sometimes we need a push to do something brave.

193

Losing his job is a very big push.

194

By the way, Paul, I have a micro story about a dream.

195

When I was younger, I wanted to be a professional piano player.

196

Really?

197

Do you play the piano?

198

A little bit.

199

But I was too scared to play for a big audience.

200

I thought it was too risky.

201

I I thought people would laugh if I made a mistake.

202

Oh, Emily, no one would laugh.

203

You are great.

204

Do you regret it?

205

A little bit.

206

But then I found my dream of teaching English,

207

and I love it, so it all worked out.

208

See?

209

A new beginning.

210

Exactly.

211

Now, before we listen to the last part of the story,

212

I have a quick message for everyone listening.

213

If you are still listening and enjoying this,

214

please comment the word dream in the comments below.

215

Yes.

216

Tell us your dream.

217

What do you want to do?

218

We love to read your stories.

219

Okay, let's hear the end.

220

Will Daniel take the risk?

221

Here is scene three.

222

What if I fail?

223

What if you succeed?

224

I don't feel ready.

225

No one ever does.

226

I don't want to regret this moment.

227

Then don't.

228

Try.

229

Okay, I'll do it.

230

I'll start small.

231

That's all you need, a first step.

232

Maybe losing my job wasn't the end.

233

Maybe it was the push you needed.

234

Oh, I'm so happy for Daniel.

235

He is going to try.

236

Yes, but he has a very normal fear.

237

He asks, what if I fail?

238

Everyone thinks that.

239

And Sophia's answer is perfect.

240

She says, what if you succeed?

241

We always think about the bad things,

242

but we should think about the good things, too.

243

Succeed means to do well,

244

to win, to reach your goal.

245

Daniel says, I don't feel ready.

246

That is so true.

247

Do you ever feel 100% ready for a big change, Emily?

248

Never.

249

When I started my first day of university,

250

I felt like a little child.

251

I didn't feel ready at all.

252

But you just have to start.

253

Exactly.

254

Sophia says, no one ever does.

255

No one is ever perfectly ready.

256

You just have to be brave.

257

And Daniel says something very important.

258

I don't want to regret this moment.

259

Regret.

260

That is when you feel sad about something you did not do in the past.

261

Like, I regret not eating that last piece of pizza.

262

You always think about food, Paul.

263

But yes, a big regret is much worse than a small failure.

264

So Daniel decides, I'll do it.

265

I'll start small.

266

That is very smart.

267

You don't have to build a giant company in one day.

268

Right.

269

Just a first step.

270

Maybe he will start his business from his kitchen or in a small office.

271

And his last sentence is my favorite.

272

Maybe losing my job wasn't the end.

273

And Sophia says, maybe it was the push you needed.

274

A push is when someone moves you forward.

275

Sometimes life gives us a push that feels like a problem,

276

but it's actually an opportunity.

277

Wow, what a great story.

278

It makes me feel like I can do anything.

279

Maybe I will start a business too.

280

What kind of business, Paul?

281

Hmm, maybe a business that delivers cookies to people's houses at midnight.

282

Paul, you would eat all the cookies before you arrived at the house.

283

That is true.

284

It is a very risky business for me.

285

Well, I think we should listen to the whole story again.

286

Now that we understand all the words and the feelings,

287

let's hear the three scenes together.

288

You look different today.

289

What happened?

290

I lost my job.

291

What?

292

When?

293

This morning.

294

They closed my department.

295

I'm so sorry.

296

How do you feel?

297

Honestly, scared.

298

I've worked there for six years.

299

That's a long time.

300

I don't even know what to do next.

301

Maybe this is a new beginning.

302

It doesn't feel like one.

303

Can I ask you something?

304

Sure.

305

Have you ever really enjoyed that job?

306

Not really.

307

It was safe.

308

But you've always talked about starting your own business.

309

That was just a dream.

310

Why was?

311

Because dreams are risky.

312

So is staying somewhere you're not happy.

313

I've never taken a big risk before.

314

Maybe this is your moment.

315

What if I fail?

316

What if you succeed?

317

I don't feel ready.

318

No one ever does.

319

I don't want to regret this moment.

320

Then don't.

321

Try.

322

Okay.

323

I'll do it.

324

I'll start small.

325

That's all you need, a first step.

326

Maybe losing my job wasn't the end.

327

Maybe it was the push you needed.

328

It sounds even better when you hear it all together.

329

It's like a movie in my head.

330

It really is.

331

It's a story about friendship, too.

332

Sophia was such a good friend to Daniel.

333

She listened to him and she gave him courage.

334

Yes, we all need a Sophia in our lives.

335

Someone to say, hey, you can do it.

336

And we want to be your Sophia.

337

We want to tell you that you can learn English,

338

you can speak with confidence,

339

and you can achieve your dreams.

340

That's right.

341

Even if it feels risky or if you feel scared, just start small.

342

Like listening to one podcast episode a day.

343

That is a great first step.

344

Wow, Emily.

345

I feel so inspired.

346

I think I'm going to go home and write down some of my dreams.

347

That is a wonderful idea, Paul.

348

Just don't write them on a pizza box, okay?

349

I promise.

350

Okay, everyone.

351

Let's do a quick recap of what we heard today.

352

We talked about Daniel losing his job,

353

which he felt was a big problem.

354

But his friend Sophia helped him see it as a new beginning

355

and a chance to follow his dream of starting a business.

356

We learned words like honestly,

357

risky, fail, succeed, and regret.

358

And we learned that it's okay to not feel ready.

359

You just have to take the first step.

360

I loved this episode.

361

It was very real.

362

Me too.

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।
