How embarrassing!
2
Was it that obvious?
3
I was going to order a pizza and pass out.
4
I almost had a laughing fit right then and there.
5
Hello everyone and welcome back to Mr. English Channel, where learning English is easy and fun.
6
I'm Emily.
7
Hi, Emily.
8
It is so wonderful to see you today.
9
I am feeling very happy because the weather is perfect.
10
I am happy too, Paul.
11
I have a very good feeling about today.
12
We have a special episode for our friends.
13
Yes, we do.
14
Today is all about real English.
15
We are going to listen to a conversation between two friends, David and Anna.
16
They are leaving work, and they have a lot to talk about.
17
Sometimes work is difficult, right?
18
Oh, yes.
19
Meetings, reports, and busy bosses.
20
It can be a lot.
21
Let's listen to David and Anna for the first time.
22
Finally, fresh air.
23
That meeting was eternal.
24
I thought I was going to fall asleep sitting up.
25
I saw you struggling to keep your eyes open.
26
How embarrassing.
27
Was it that obvious?
28
Only to someone who knows you.
29
The boss didn't notice.
30
Thank God.
31
He was too focused on the charts.
32
Fortunately.
33
That projection saved us. For sure.
34
But anyway, are you going straight home?
35
I was going to order a pizza and pass out.
36
I'm exhausted.
37
Fair enough.
38
Today's spreadsheet was a killer.
39
What about you?
40
Still going to the bookstore?
41
I wanted to, but I need a break first.
42
Did you see Marcos' face when the system crashed?
43
I almost had a laughing fit right then and there.
44
He turned bright red.
45
It was the best part of the day.
46
We're being terrible co -workers, you know.
47
It's what keeps us sane in that office.
48
True enough.
49
Man, my bus is late again.
50
Mine is delayed too.
51
This sucks.
52
You know what?
53
Forget the bus for now.
54
What do you suggest?
55
There's a cafe right on the corner.
56
Want to go grab a coffee and gossip more about work?
57
Deal.
58
I need to vent about HR.
59
Then let's go.
60
Wow, that was a great conversation.
61
I really like David and Anna.
62
They sound like us, Paul.
63
I agree.
64
They are very honest about their day.
65
David said the meeting was eternal.
66
That is a big word.
67
It is.
68
When something is eternal, it means it never ends.
69
It goes on and on and on.
70
Like when I wait for my laundry to finish.
71
It feels eternal.
72
Yes, exactly.
73
If a meeting is three hours long and it is boring, it feels eternal.
74
David was very happy to have fresh air after that.
75
And Anna said she was going to fall asleep sitting up.
76
I know that feeling.
77
Have you ever done that, Emily?
78
Maybe once in a very long history class at school.
79
My head started to drop and then I woke up fast.
80
It is very funny to see.
81
David said he saw her struggling to keep her eyes open.
82
Struggling means something is very hard to do.
83
Right.
84
Like, if you have a very heavy bag, you are struggling to carry it.
85
Anna was trying hard to stay awake, but she was so tired.
86
Anna asked, was it that obvious?
87
That is a great question.
88
Obvious means everyone can see it easily.
89
Yes.
90
If I wear a bright neon yellow shirt, it is obvious.
91
You can see me from a mile away.
92
Please don't wear a neon yellow shirt, Emily.
93
My eyes will hurt.
94
Don't worry, I won't.
95
But Anna was worried the boss saw her.
96
David said the boss didn't notice because he was focused.
97
Focused is when you give all your attention to one thing.
98
Like when I am eating a delicious chocolate cake, I am very focused.
99
You are always focused on food, Paul.
100
The boss was focused on the charts.
101
Charts are those pictures with lines and circles that show numbers.
102
Numbers.
103
Ugh.
104
David said the projection saved them.
105
A projection is like a guess about the future.
106
Like, I think we will sell many things next month.
107
And when they talked about going home, David said he wanted to pass out.
108
That sounds scary, but it just means to sleep very fast.
109
Yes.
110
When you are exhausted, you just want to go to your bed, close your eyes, and pass out.
111
You are not just tired.
112
You are super tired.
113
I feel exhausted after I go to the gym.
114
I come home, I sit on the sofa, and I pass out for 20 minutes.
115
David also said he wanted to order a pizza.
116
I love that.
117
Pizza makes every bad day better.
118
It really does.
119
Anna said, fair enough.
120
That is a very natural expression.
121
It means, I understand, or that is a good reason.
122
If you tell me, Paul, I cannot go to the park because it is raining, I can say, fair enough.
123
It makes sense.
124
Exactly.
125
Then she said the spreadsheet was a killer.
126
A killer in this way means it was very difficult or painful.
127
Like a killer workout at the gym or a killer exam at school.
128
It takes all your energy.
129
Poor Anna and David.
130
But then they talked about Marcos.
131
Marcos had a bad day because the system crashed.
132
Oh, no. When a computer or system crashes, it stops working.
133
It just dies.
134
Everything disappears.
135
That is the worst feeling.
136
David said Marcos turned bright red.
137
His face was the color of a tomato.
138
Because he was embarrassed or maybe angry.
139
I turn bright red when I have to sing in front of people.
140
I want to see that, Paul.
141
Anna said she had a laughing fit.
142
This is when you cannot stop laughing.
143
You try to be quiet, but you just keep laughing.
144
Those are the best laughs.
145
But she felt like a terrible co -worker.
146
Co -workers are the people you work with.
147
But David said it keeps them sane.
148
Being sane means having a healthy mind.
149
If you don't laugh at work, you might go a little crazy. So true.
150
Laughing with friends is the best medicine.
151
But then the bus was late and delayed.
152
Delayed is a very common word at airports or bus stations.
153
It means it is not coming at the right time.
154
It is behind schedule.
155
If the bus is at 5 o 'clock, but it arrives at 5 .30, it is delayed.
156
David said, this sucks.
157
That is a very informal way to say, this is bad.
158
Yes, it is very common between friends.
159
My phone broke.
160
This sucks.
161
Or it's raining on my birthday.
162
This sucks.
163
But David had a better idea.
164
He said, forget the bus.
165
Let's go to a cafe.
166
I love that idea.
167
He wanted to gossip.
168
Gossip is when you talk about other people or things that happened.
169
Usually, it's a little bit of a secret.
170
And Anna said she needed to vent.
171
This is a very important word.
172
To vent means to talk about your problems so you can feel better.
173
You let the steam out of your head.
174
Yes.
175
If you are angry about a problem at work, you talk to a friend, you vent, and then you feel relaxed.
176
Anna wanted to vent about HR.
177
That stands for Human Resources.
178
They are the people in an office who take care of the employees.
179
Maybe the HR people gave her too much work.
180
Well, if you are enjoying this conversation, don't forget to like the video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with a friend who is learning English.
181
Yes, it helps us a lot.
182
And if you are still listening, comment BUS below.
183
We want to know who is practicing with us today.
184
I wonder how many people have bus stories.
185
I have many.
186
One time I fell asleep and missed my stop.
187
I woke up in a different city.
188
Emily, that is so funny.
189
Did you have to take the bus back?
190
Yes, it took two hours.
191
It was a very long night.
192
I was definitely exhausted after that.
193
See?
194
That is a great example of being exhausted.
195
Now, let's look at the words David and Anna used again.
196
They are very useful for every day.
197
I like straight home.
198
David asked, are you going straight home?
199
This means going home immediately.
200
No stops at the store, no stops at the park.
201
I usually go straight home after work because I am hungry.
202
I want my dinner.
203
Of course you do.
204
And what about laughing fit?
205
I remember a time at a wedding.
206
My brother made a joke and I had a laughing fit during the quiet part.
207
Oh no. Was it obvious?
208
It was very obvious.
209
My mom was not happy.
210
She looked at me with a very serious face.
211
But that made me laugh more.
212
That is always how it happens.
213
When you must be quiet, you laugh more.
214
David also mentioned the system crashed.
215
This happens to me with my phone sometimes.
216
I'm writing a message and then, boom, black screen.
217
That really sucks, especially if it's a long message.
218
You have to start again from the beginning.
219
David and Anna are good friends because they help each other stay sane.
220
I think we do that for our listeners too, Paul.
221
I hope so.
222
Learning a language can be difficult.
223
Sometimes you feel like you are struggling, but we are here to make it fun.
224
Yes.
225
Remember what David said.
226
It's what keeps us sane.
227
Talking and laughing is the best way to learn.
228
I really like the ending of their chat.
229
David suggests coffee and gossip.
230
Coffee is like a hug in a cup.
231
A hug in a cup.
232
That is very poetic, Paul.
233
But it's true.
234
A warm drink makes you feel relaxed.
235
And it gives you time to vent.
236
If you hold your problems inside, you feel stressed.
237
But if you talk about them, they feel smaller.
238
That's a very good point.
239
When Anna vents about HR, she will probably feel much better when she goes home later.
240
And David will get his pizza and pass out.
241
It sounds like a perfect evening for both of them.
242
It really does.
243
I think we should listen to the conversation one more time.
244
Now that we know all these great words, it will be even easier to understand.
245
That is a fantastic idea.
246
Let's hear David and Anna again.
247
Finally, fresh air.
248
That meeting was eternal.
249
I thought I was going to fall asleep sitting up.
250
I saw you struggling to keep your eyes open.
251
How embarrassing.
252
Was it that obvious?
253
Only to someone who knows you.
254
The boss didn't notice.
255
Thank God.
256
He was too focused on the charts.
257
Fortunately.
258
That projection saved us. For sure.
259
But anyway, are you going straight home?
260
I was going to order a pizza and pass out.
261
I'm exhausted.
262
Fair enough.
263
Today's spreadsheet was a killer.
264
What about you?
265
Still going to the bookstore?
266
I wanted to, but I need a break first.
267
Did you see Marcos' face when the system crashed?
268
I almost had a laughing fit right then and there.
269
He turned bright red.
270
It was the best part of the day.
271
We're being terrible co -workers, you know.
272
It's what keeps us sane in that office.
273
True enough.
274
Man, my bus is late again.
275
Mine is delayed too.
276
This sucks.
277
You know what?
278
Forget the bus for now.
279
What do you suggest?
280
There's a cafe right on the corner.
281
Want to go grab a coffee and gossip more about work?
282
Deal.
283
I need to vent about HR.
284
Then let's go.
285
They are such a fun pair of friends.
286
I am glad they are going to get coffee together.
287
Me too.
288
It is much better than waiting for a delayed bus.
289
So, Paul, what did we learn today?
290
We learned eternal for something very long.
291
And to pass out for sleeping very quickly when you are exhausted.
292
We also learned obvious for things that are easy to see and to struggle when something is difficult.
293
Don't forget fair enough and this sucks.
294
Those are very helpful when talking with friends.
295
And my favorite, to vent.
296
It is so important to talk about our feelings.
297
And bright red, like Marcos' face or mine when I have to sing.
298
We had a very busy day today, didn't we?
299
We did, but it wasn't a killer because I am talking with you, Emily.
300
Oh, that is so sweet, Paul.
301
Thank you.
302
I feel the same way.
303
Well, I think that is all the time we have for our episode today.
304
It is.
305
We hope you enjoyed this real English conversation.
306
It is a great way to learn.
307
If you want to practice, try using one of these words today.
308
Maybe tell a friend you are exhausted or that a movie was eternal.
309
Yes.
310
And tell us in the comments, what makes you turn bright red?
311
Is it a joke?
312
Is it speaking in public?
313
We want to know.
314
We love reading your stories.
315
It is our favorite part of the day.
316
Before we go, please subscribe to Mr. English Channel.
317
It really helps us grow.
318
And give this video a big like if you learned something new today.
319
Share it with your family and friends too.
320
Let's help everyone learn English together.
321
Thank you for listening, everyone.
322
You are doing a great job with your English.
323
Yes, keep practicing every day.
324
You are getting better and better.
325
Until next time, goodbye, Emily.
326
Bye for now, Paul.
327
Bye, everyone.
328
See you in the next episode.
329
Bye -bye.

इस पाठ के बारे में
आप "English Listening and Speaking Practice | Learning English Conversation 🗣️ | 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।
