How about you is a small question that does a lot of work.
59
You've shared something, now you invite the other person to share too.
60
You don't have to think of a completely new question every time, but listen to the answer.
61
Emma says she lives nearby and usually comes with her sister.
62
That gives you something you can ask about later.

What do you do?

I work at a small shop.

A little information is enough.

You needed to listen and give a clear response.

Emma asks whether you know the area well.

Thanks for being patient.
105
Repeat.
106
I'm glad we started talking.
107
Repeat.
108
25 sentences completed.
109
Before we move on, introduce yourself in three sentences.
110
Say your name, something about your daily life, and one thing you enjoy.
111
Then add, how about you?
112
Pause and try it out loud.
113
The book sale is opening now.
114
Let's see whether our new conversation can continue inside.
115
There are books on long tables.
116
Some are almost new.
117
Others look as if several people have enjoyed them already.
118
You and Emma walk toward the same table.
119
She picks up a story collection.
120
You notice a book about cooking.
121
Neither of you needs to discuss anything complicated.
122
You can talk about what's right in front of you.
123
That's useful when you're unsure what to say next.
124
Look around.
125
Notice something.
126
Ask a simple question about it.
127
Do you like this kind of book?
128
I prefer stories about everyday life.
129
This one looks interesting.
130
Have you read anything by this writer?
131
Not yet, but I'd like to.
132
You don't need to pretend you know a writer or a book.
133
Not yet, but I'd like to keeps the conversation open.
134
It gives an honest answer and shows interest.
135
Now you find a book you might buy.
136
The price label is missing.
137
Let's ask someone working at the sale.
138
Excuse me, how much is this?
139
It's $5.
140
I'll take it please.
141
Can I pay by card?
142
Could I have a receipt, please?
143
That's your shopping practice from day four.
144
The setting has changed, but the sentences still work.
145
That's why useful everyday phrases are worth revisiting.
146
You can carry them into different situations.
147
Before leaving, Emma points out a little cafe next door.
148
You both have time for a drink.
149
Let's make a simple suggestion.
150
Would you like to get something to drink?
151
Yes, that would be nice.
152
There's a cafe just outside.
153
Shall we sit by the window? That table looks good.
154
You find a table, put down your books, and look at the menu.
155
This is a nice moment to relax.
156
A conversation doesn't have to move quickly every second.
157
You can take a sip, read something, or simply pause.
158
And while we're talking about going out, I chose the dress I'm wearing today for this final lesson.
159
If you'd like to take a closer look or buy it, the dress link is in the description.
160
Now let's order our drinks before I get distracted by the cake display.
161
I'd like a cup of tea, please.
162
Could I have a cheese sandwich, too?
163
Does it come with a salad?
164
I'll have the same, please.
165
That's everything, thank you.
166
I'll have the same is helpful when you want what someone else ordered.
167
You don't need to repeat every item, but make sure you heard their order first,
168
otherwise you might agree to something very different from what you wanted.
169
Now the server asks a question quickly.
170
You catch the beginning but miss the final words.
171
This is a good chance to practice asking for help.
172
Could you say that again, please?
173
Did you say tea or coffee?
174
Tea please.
175
Thanks for checking.
176
Everything looks lovely.
177
That's 50 sentences completed.
178
Notice what happened when you didn't understand.
179
You asked again.
180
The server clarified.
181
The conversation continued.
182
Missing a word doesn't have to end an interaction.
183
You can check what you heard and carry on.
184
Now imagine your own cafe order.
185
Choose one drink and one thing to eat.
186
Say your order without looking at the practice sentences.
187
Then imagine the server asks something you don't understand.
188
What could you say?
189
Practice that response, too.
190
Our food has arrived and Emma asks how your week has been.
191
Let's move from what's happening now to something that happened yesterday.
192
Sometimes a conversation feels easy until someone asks about the past.
193
You know what happened, but choosing the words takes a moment.
194
That's why we practiced talking about yesterday on day five.
195
Today, you're going to use those sentences inside a conversation.
196
You won't tell a long story immediately.
197
You'll share a little, listen to a question, and add another detail.
198
Imagine Emma asks what you did yesterday.
199
How was your day yesterday?
200
Repeat.
201
It was busy, but it ended well.
202
Repeat.
203
I worked in the morning.
204
Repeat.
205
Then I went shopping.
206
Repeat.
207
I needed a few things for dinner.
208
Repeat That's a clear beginning.
209
You described the day and gave two activities.
210
Now let's add one small event.
211
Stories don't have to be dramatic.
212
Sometimes forgetting an ordinary item is enough to make another person smile.
213
Yesterday you went shopping with a list.
214
You bought nearly everything.
215
Nearly.
216
Did you find everything you needed?
217
Repeat.
218
Almost, but I forgot the bread.
219
Repeat.
220
I remembered it when I got home.
221
Repeat.
222
That happens to me, too.
223
Repeat.
224
At least I remembered the tea.
225
Repeat.
226
The tea survived the shopping trip.
227
That's something to celebrate.
228
Notice the response, that happens to me too.
229
It connects your experience with the other person's experience.
230
You're showing that you understand.
231
You don't always need a question to keep talking.
232
Sometimes a short response encourages someone to continue you.
233
Now let's finish your little story.
234
What did you do after that?
235
Repeat.
236
I made dinner with my family.
237
Repeat.
238
We talked while we cooked.
239
Repeat.
240
Later I practiced English.
241
Repeat.
242
I felt good about making time for it.
243
Repeat.
244
That gives the story a natural ending.
245
You don't have to explain what happened every minute.
246
Choose the parts that matter to the conversation.
247
Now Emma tells you about her evening.
248
She tried a new recipe.
249
It took longer than she expected, and the kitchen became very messy.
250
But the food tasted good.
251
Let's respond and invite her to share more.
252
What did you make?
253
Repeat. Was it difficult?
254
Repeat.
255
How did it turn out?
256
Repeat. That sounds delicious.
257
Repeat.
258
You'll have to tell me how you made it.
259
Repeat.
260
How did it turn out asks about the result.
261
You might ask it about a meal, a project, or something someone tried.
262
You heard what they did.
263
Now you want to know how it went.
264
This is one way to find a follow -up question.
265
Listen for the activity, then ask about the experience or result.
266
You don't need to prepare 10 questions before every conversation question.
267
The other person's answer can help you choose the next one.
268
Now you want to explain something about your own cooking.
269
A word disappears.
270
It was right there a second ago.
271
Let me think for a moment.
272
Repeat.
273
I can't remember the English word.
274
Repeat.
275
It's something you use in the kitchen.
276
I mean the thing you use to cut bread.
277
Yes, a knife, that's the word.
278
75 sentences completed.
279
You described the missing word and the conversation continued.
280
That's a skill you can practice practice.
281
If you forget a word, explain what the thing does or where you use it.
282
You can also point when the object is nearby.
283
You don't need to stop speaking completely.
284
Now tell a tiny story about yesterday.
285
Say what you did, add one detail, and explain how you felt.
286
Try it in three sentences.
287
Then imagine someone asks, what happened next?
288
Can you add one more?
289
Our conversation is going well, but soon it will be time to leave.
290
Let's practice making plans and ending the conversation warmly.
291
You check the time.
292
You've been talking longer than you expected.
293
The conversation that began with an empty chair has become a pleasant afternoon.
294
Now you need to go home.
295
Ending a conversation can feel awkward when you don't know what to say.
296
You don't want to leave suddenly, you also don't need to stay until you run out of words.
297
A friendly explanation and a warm goodbye are enough.
298
Before leaving, you and Emma talk about meeting again.
299
What are you doing next weekend?
300
Repeat.
301
I'm going to visit the park.
302
Repeat.
303
Would you like to come along?
304
Repeat.
305
I'd love to if I'm free.
306
Repeat.
307
Let me check my plans.
308
Repeat.
309
That answer gives someone time to decide.
310
You can be interested without promising immediately.
311
If you need to check your calendar or speak to someone at home, say so.
312
You don't have to give an instant yes.
313
Now imagine Emma checks her plans.
314
Saturday afternoon is free.
315
Let's agree on a few details.
316
Does Saturday afternoon work for you?
317
Repeat.
318
Yes, I'm free after two.
319
Repeat.
320
Let's meet near the main entrance.
321
Repeat.
322
I'll send you a message before then.
323
If it rains, we can meet here instead.
324
You've made a plan and included another option.
325
That should sound familiar after Day 6.
326
Notice how the skills from different days fit together.
327
You introduced yourself, you shared your interests, you ordered food, you talked about yesterday, and now you've arranged something for the future.
328
A real conversation can move between all those topics.
329
Let's practice leaving politely.
330
I should get going soon.
331
Repeat.
332
I need to be home by 5.
333
Repeat.
334
It was lovely talking to you.
335
Repeat.
336
I'm glad we met.
337
Repeat.
338
Enjoy the rest of your day.
339
Repeat.
340
That's a warm ending.
341
You've explained that you need to leave and shown that you enjoyed the conversation.
342
You don't need a perfect final line.
343
A clear, friendly goodbye does the job.
344
Now before our last 10 practice sentences, think about what you've done this week.
345
Some sentences may feel easier now.
346
Others may still need practice.
347
Both can be true.
348
Let's put that experience into words.
349
I can introduce myself in English.
350
Repeat.
351
I can ask simple questions.
352
Repeat.
353
I can talk about my everyday life.
354
I still make mistakes sometimes.
355
But I can keep the conversation going.
356
These sentences describe things you're practicing.
357
If one still feels difficult, make it a goal for your next session.
358
You can return to the day that covers it.
359
You don't need to repeat everything equally.
360
Spend more time on the situations you want to use.
361
Now, here are your final five practice sentences.
362
I'm going to keep practicing.
363
Repeat.
364
I'll say a few sentences out loud each day.
365
Repeat.
366
I'll ask for help when I need it.
367
Repeat.
368
I'm proud that I finished this challenge.
369
Repeat.
370
This is the beginning of more conversations.
371
Repeat.
372
You did it!
373
You've completed day 7 and our 7 -day English Shadowing Challenge.
374
Now, here is the final speaking challenge I promised.
375
This time, use your own words.
376
Imagine we've just met at a cafe.
377
Tell me your name and one thing about yourself.
378
Tell me something you enjoy doing.
379
Share one thing you did yesterday.
380
Then, tell me one plan for next weekend.
381
Finally, ask me a question.
382
Pause the video and try those five steps out loud.
383
You can use short sentences, you can take your time, if you get stuck, look back at an example, then try again with your own details.
384
When you finish, notice one thing you said more comfortably.
385
That gives you something concrete to build on.
386
Tomorrow, choose five useful sentences from this series and use them in a new situation.
387
Change the person, the place, or the activity.
388
Keep making the English your own.

- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/, relax /ɹɪˈlæks/, dramatic /dɹəˈmætɪk/, calendar /ˈkæl.ən.də/, interaction /ˌɪn.təˈɹæk.ʃən/
Come esercitarsi con questo video
- Ascolta tutto il video una volta senza parlare e annota le parole che non conosci.
- Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
- Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come introduce, pause, everyday.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
