Excuse me, do you live in this building by any chance?

Yes, I live on the third floor.

Oh, me too.

I moved in yesterday.

I'm Trisha.

I'm Jim.

Nice to meet you, and welcome to the building.

Thanks.

Nice to meet you too.

It seems there's something wrong with the elevator.

The elevators are constantly out of order in this building.

Nothing is being fixed in a timely manner here.

The landlord didn't inform me about that.

On the contrary, you assured me that the maintenance team in this building is very good and prompt.

And do you know what's wrong with the water?

It smells and tastes of mold, don't you think?

It does, unfortunately.

I bought a filter system,

and my water is okay now.

Really?

Well, I suppose I should do the same.

I'm afraid I would get sick otherwise.

Have you lived here long?

I've been living in the complex for almost a year and loved it at first.

The location near downtown and the bus station is very convenient.

And the size of the apartment is perfect.

The bathroom is very large and there's a full-sized washer and dryer in the unit.

There's also a nice-sized closet.

It also has one of the nicest gyms I've ever seen in an apartment complex.

The community is very quiet and nice,

so there are many advantages.

However, the issues definitely started to show throughout the year.

What other issues are there?

There was also a full-on power outage four days ago.

And the building was pitch black.

A lot of our food spoiled.

And it was terrifying walking those black staircases and hallways.

Ooh, that's really terrible.

I hope that won't happen again.

Anyway, I'm excited about the pool we have in the building.

I love swimming.

This is one of the few perks of living here.

Well, I hate to ruin your excitement,

but the pool is way too small for the size of the building.

And it's almost impossible to get a seat,

especially on weekends, when people bring their entire friends and families.

Are you serious?

That's disappointing.

Well, you can come to the pool in the morning before 9.

There are only a few people at that time.

That's a good idea.

It's great to start the day off with an easy swim.

Okay.

See you at the pool in the morning then.

It was a very good idea coming to the pool so early.

The water is lovely and there are no crowds.

The morning swim is invigorating and it makes you feel more alert.

It increases your overall energy.

It helps you stay focused throughout the day.

So what do you do, Trisha?

I'm a sales associate.

A sales associate?

Where do you work?

At a clothing store in the mall.

How long does it take you to get to work?

It takes about 20 minutes by bus.

Um, pretty close.

How long have you worked there?

I've been working there about two years.

I started when the store originally opened.

Do you work part-time or full-time?

I work full-time, about 40 hours per week.

Do you ever work overtime?

If needed.

Sometimes during the holidays, they need more help.

What time do you start work?

Uh, about 8.30?

And then the store opens around 10.

But we need to get it prepared for the customers.

What time do you finish work?

Usually around 4.30 p.m.

What do you do at work?

I greet customers on arrival,

then assist them with any questions they have about the purchase they want to make.

I often help them with returns,

refunds, and resolve common complaints.

Uh-huh.

What do you like best about your job?

Interacting with the customers when they come in and talking to them.

What do you like the least?

Handling the complaints of the customers.

Turning a frustrated customer into a happy one is not easy and requires tactfulness understanding of needs,

and strong communication skills.

I can imagine how unpleasant it must be to have to deal with criticism and complaints.

Fortunately, there aren't many unhappy customers.

Most of them are very content with our products and services.

Do you work overtime frequently?

Yes, I do, especially during holidays.

Are you paid for the extra hours?

100

Yes, I am.

101

How much vacation do you take a year?

102

I get two weeks, built into my schedule.

103

So, Jim, what's a typical day for you?

104

For example, what is a typical morning?

105

Well, I wake up at about 7 a.m.

106

Oh, that's early.

107

I really am a morning person.

108

Well, I don't actually get out of bed until about 7.30.

109

Okay, so what do you do?

110

Well, I check my emails,

111

I check Facebook, and I read the news.

112

Do you eat breakfast at home?

113

I usually prepare breakfast at home, yeah.

114

What do you eat?

115

Oh, just the simple stuff.

116

Eggs, bacon, sausages.

117

Sometimes I'll have toast.

118

Do you drink coffee or tea?

119

No, I don't like coffee or tea.

120

Oh, what do you drink?

121

Actually, I like hot chocolate in the morning.

122

Yeah, I like hot chocolate too.

123

So, what about your day?

124

I have a small advertising agency,

125

and I start work at about 9 a.m.

126

An advertising agency?

127

That's interesting.

128

So how did you get started?

129

Well, I used to work for a big advertising agency.

130

But I wasn't happy there.

131

I wasn't getting very interesting work.

132

Anyway, one of our clients came to me one day I used to handle their account,

133

it's a travel company And they said they really liked my work They told me that if I started my own agency,

134

they would give me their account That was a really lucky break for me It was quite a big account,

135

so I decided to take a chance

136

and open my own business I soon found I was getting plenty of work on my own

137

And that's how it all started.

138

So now I have a small company with a staff of just four.

139

But we're really busy and I love what I'm doing.

140

That's amazing!

141

Do you eat lunch at your office?

142

Sometimes.

143

We also go to a cafe nearby.

144

They have very good snacks.

145

When do you finish work?

146

I finish at about 6 p.m.

147

What do you do in the evening?

148

When I get home, I'm usually really tired.

149

So I just have dinner and watch TV for about two hours.

150

After that, I read a book or play on my phone.

151

What do you watch on TV?

152

I really like watching comedies or documentaries.

153

Do you like listening to music?

154

Yes, I love American pop music I also like game shows Oh, what game shows?

155

Well, actually, my favorite one is The Hustler Okay,

156

I need to see that So when do you go to bed?

157

Most nights I go to bed at around 11pm But at the weekend,

158

sometimes it's later Maybe around midnight Well,

159

I think you have an interesting and long day Hey, this sounds good.

160

Snails and garlic.

161

Have you ever eaten snails?

162

No, I haven't.

163

Oh, they're delicious.

164

I had them last time I came here.

165

Would you like to try some?

166

No, thanks.

167

They sound strange.

168

What do they taste like, anyway?

169

Their texture is kind of shrimp-like.

170

They're firm and meaty, not soft and slimy.

171

Have you decided on your appetizer yet?

172

Yes.

173

I'll have the snails, please.

174

And you, sir?

175

I think I'll have the fried brains.

176

Fried brains?

177

Now that really sounds strange.

178

A friend of mine recommended it to me.

179

He said it's really delicious.

180

And it's like melting inside your mouth.

181

So I'll give it a try.

182

Oh good, here comes the waitress now.

183

Here are your snails, madam.

184

And for you, sir, the fried brains.

185

Thank you!

186

Mmm, these snails are delicious!

187

How are the brains?

188

Well, I think they're...

189

Yuck!

190

Oh, sorry.

191

I guess brains are pretty strange after all.

192

It seems that was a bad choice.

193

Why don't you order something else, then?

194

Yes, that's a good idea.

195

Miss?

196

Excuse me, miss?

197

Yes?

198

Uh, I really don't care for this appetizer.

199

Could you bring me something else?

200

Yes, of course.

201

What would you like instead?

202

Try the snails.

203

No, I don't think so.

204

I'll tell you what, just forget an appetizer for me.

205

And bring me a nice juicy hamburger,

206

medium rare, with french fries and a large soda.

207

Do you ever talk to yourself?

208

Yes, I do.

209

Who doesn't?

210

Everyone talks to themselves sometimes.

211

How often?

212

Every day.

213

Usually when I'm walking somewhere.

214

I often talk to myself when coming up with ideas.

215

Do you ever lose your temper?

216

I lose my temper sometimes,

217

but I usually have a pretty good hold of the language that I use.

218

It's okay to be angry.

219

What's important to me is how you react when you're angry.

220

I'm on the same page as you.

221

Anger is normal.

222

What counts is what you do with your anger.

223

Exactly.

224

So what angers you the most?

225

I hate being talked down to,

226

being treated as if I'm inferior in some way to the one speaking to me.

227

This usually makes me angry.

228

What about you?

229

Many things make me angry,

230

like being treated unfairly or not being listened to,

231

injustice, being lied to, being let down by people, things like that.

232

I see.

233

Do you ever stay up all night?

234

Yeah, sometimes I do.

235

Like when?

236

How often?

237

Um, not very often.

238

Maybe like a couple times a year.

239

Do you ever take a nap?

240

Uh, yeah.

241

Sometimes I take naps.

242

Maybe like two or three times a month.

243

Do you ever oversleep?

244

Yes, I do, but I try not to be late for work.

245

I rush around to do in 30 minutes what normally takes an hour.

246

I am very stressed when this happens.

247

Later in the day, I will feel exhausted.

248

Do you have a bucket list?

249

Yes, I do.

250

What's on your bucket list?

251

I don't have a huge list.

252

It's small, but it has everything I ever want.

253

Starting my own business.

254

It's a trip to Europe.

255

Getting married and having kids.

256

What about you?

meet Cristiano Ronaldo and make a selfie with him.

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।
