9
So what are you waiting for?
10
Let's start!
11
It was my mispronunciation.
12
Yeah, the bride was so beautiful.
13
I wish I could be as beautiful as her at my wedding.
14
You will be for sure.
15
Oh, I just remembered.
16
My cousin is getting married next month too.
17
That's great.
18
Have you met the bride?
19
Yeah, she's his daughter.
20
They're such a perfect match.
21
What?
22
Daughter?
23
Who's marrying their daughter?
24
My cousin.
25
And many people do.
26
It's normal to get married with daughter at my place.
27
Nope, it's not alright!
28
Don't be so dramatic, just a daughter, no big deal.
29
It is crazy when the father marries his own child.
30
Well… Ah, what are you talking about?
31
Who gets married to their own child?
32
You literally just said your cousin is marrying his daughter.
33
What?
34
You silly.
35
Daughter is a job.
36
People who work in hospitals, not a child.
37
It's doctor, Mia.
38
D -O -C -T -O -R.
39
Doctor.
40
So what I said was...
41
Daughter.
42
The girl child in the family.
43
The correct word is doctor.
44
Oh, it was my mispronunciation.
45
And that one almost gave me a heart attack.
46
Doctor.
47
Got it.
48
Not daughter.
49
I, me.
50
So, me and Sarah went to the mall yesterday.
51
Wait, wait!
52
It's Sarah and I went to the mall.
53
Why?
54
Everyone says me and my friends all the time.
55
True, but imagine dropping friends.
56
Would you say, me went to the mall?
57
Of course not.
58
That's wrong.
59
Right.
60
So you say, I went.
61
So, put Sarah back.
62
Sarah and I went to the mall.
63
Oh.
64
What if someone gives something to us, like he gave the tickets to me and Sarah?
65
Well, me and Sarah is correct because in this situation, you're the object, the one receiving something.
66
This is tricky.
67
So the subject form is I, and the object form is me?
68
Yes.
69
Subject means you do the action.
70
Object means the action is done to you.
71
I feel like English is like those tangled water pipes.
72
Don't worry.
73
You'll get used to it.
74
A .M.
75
P .M.
76
Hey, want to grab some coffee at 12 p .m tomorrow?
77
What?
78
At 12 p .m.?
79
Yeah, if you're free, of course.
80
Oh, uh, I'm sorry, Sam.
81
I can't.
82
Uh, why?
83
Is there any problem?
84
I have to go.
85
Bye, Sam!
86
Casey, wait.
87
You alright?
88
You look like you just saw a ghost.
89
Sam just asked me to have coffee with him tomorrow.
90
I kinda rejected him.
91
Why?
92
You've had a crush on Sam for, like, forever.
93
He asked me out at 12pm, at midnight.
94
Who does that?
95
It's not safe.
96
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
97
Casey, 12pm is noon, not midnight.
98
Midnight is 12am.
99
What?
100
That's so backwards!
101
Why do they do that?
102
I have no idea, but you're safe.
103
Noon lunch is normal, not spooky midnight.
104
I have to call Sam back now.
105
Okay, good luck.
106
Hey Sam, sorry about earlier. About tomorrow.
107
I'd love to go.
108
Broke, broken.
109
Ugh, I can't even buy a new necklace for my girlfriend.
110
I'm so broke.
111
Huh?
112
You poor thing.
113
Yeah, poor.
114
I'm so sorry.
115
It's okay to cry.
116
Being dumped over money is...
117
What?
118
No, I'm broke, Bella.
119
Not broken.
120
Wait, broke and broken.
121
Aren't they the same?
122
Like she left you?
123
No. Broke means you have no money.
124
Broken means your heart got smashed.
125
Oh, so your relationship isn't...
126
My girlfriend and I are still fine.
127
It's my wallet that's the problem.
128
Broke as heck.
129
That sounds rough.
130
But hey, don't stress.
131
We can figure something out.
132
Like what?
133
Maybe make her a handmade gift?
134
Or write her a nice note.
135
It's way cheaper.
136
You think that'd work?
137
Yeah, money doesn't buy love, but effort does, I think.
138
I like that.
139
Thanks, Bella.
140
You know how to turn my broken wallet into a hopeful heart.
141
Anytime, Andy.
142
Hey, hey, thinking about putting your phone down?
143
Don't go yet!
144
Just a few more conversations and your English will level up.
145
But first, take a quick break.
146
Stand up, stretch it out.
147
Grab some water.
148
Quick reset, quick sit then slide back in.
149
There's more waiting for you.
150
Alright, ready?
151
Let's jump into the next conversation.
152
Drive, ride.
153
Yo Jason, guess what?
154
I rode Tom's car today.
155
It was awesome.
156
You rode it?
157
Like you sat in the back while Tom drove?
158
No man, I rode it.
159
Tom let me try it.
160
Joel, you didn't ride it.
161
You drove it.
162
What's the deal?
163
I was inside the car, moving.
164
It feels like riding to me.
165
I know, but if you're behind the wheel, you're driving.
166
So, I drive a car when I control it, and I ride it when someone else drives.
167
Exactly.
168
Hold on, what about bikes?
169
I ride a bicycle, but drive a car.
170
You ride a bike because even when you control it, you're not inside it.
171
Ah, I get it.
172
Now, just don't go saying you rode a car like it's a horse, alright?
173
Yeah, yeah.
174
Lesson learned.
175
Wonder Wonders Hey, Jack, check out the wonder of this new laptop. So cool!
176
Wonder?
177
You mean wonders?
178
Uh, does the laptop have so much wonder or wonders?
179
Hold on, I'm confused.
180
Okay, here's the thing.
181
Wonder and wonders don't mean the same thing.
182
Wonder is a feeling of surprise or curiosity.
183
Wonders means big or amazing things, like the Eiffel Tower or a dragon.
184
Oh, so if I say, I wonder why my laptop is slow, that's correct?
185
Yeah, but when you say, my laptop is a wonder, people will expect it to have magic.
186
And if you say, my laptop has wonders, they'll think it's a famous landmark.
187
Great, now I'm wondering how many times I've used wonder wrong.
188
Welcome to English, where one word can leave you wondering.
189
Time management is self -management.
190
I don't get how people manage their time so well.
191
I always end up rushing last minute. Been there.
192
But you know, time management is self -management.
193
What do you mean?
194
You only get 24 hours a day.
195
It's how you use them that matters.
196
Your habits, your focus, your choices.
197
That sounds deep, but I still don't know how to do it.
198
Try writing a smart to -do list.
199
Pick your top three tasks.
200
Focus on those first.
201
Okay, and breaks?
202
Short breaks like five to ten minutes to stretch, drink water, or move around.
203
Not 30 minutes lying in bed, but I always waste time scrolling on my phone.
204
Then start with the easiest task.
205
When you work, turn off your phone and plan your day the night before.
206
I think I can try that.
207
Manage myself better to manage my time.
208
Good, you're the boss of your time, not the other way around.
209
Don't just be near them, watch them.
210
Emma, what is this doing on the floor?
211
It's dangerous!
212
Huh?
213
What?
214
Amy?
215
She almost grabbed it!
216
Were you even watching her?
217
I was right here!
218
Sure!
219
Being here isn't enough!
220
PODDLERS don't understand danger.
221
You have to stay alert.
222
What if they pick something up and put it in their mouth?
223
Sorry, Mom.
224
I didn't realize.
225
Please!
226
PODDLERS are fast and curious.
227
One second of distraction is all it takes.
228
You're right.
229
That was close.
230
I'll be more careful.
231
Okay?
232
Don't just be near them.
233
Watch them.
234
With your eyes, not your phone.
235
I'm really sorry, Mom.
236
I shouldn't have looked at my phone.
237
I'll keep my eyes on Amy.
238
You're going on a trip next week, aren't you?
239
Yes, I'll be in Japan on Tuesday and will remain for two nights.
240
That's great!
241
Which city will you go to?
242
I'm going to Tokyo.
243
I've been to Tokyo two times.
244
That city is really beautiful.
245
This will be my first visit to Tokyo.
246
Are you going to Japan for tourism or business? On business.
247
So, when are you going home? On Sunday.
248
Wishing you a safe journey.
249
Thanks.
250
See you later.
251
Please excuse me.
252
Yes?
253
How can I help you?
254
I'm searching for a light ultrabook.
255
We have a wide variety of models, quality and affordable prices.
256
What about this one?
257
Whoa, it's really light and it looks beautiful.
258
This product is very popular.
259
Is it possible to view DVDs on this computer?
260
I'm afraid you cannot watch DVDs on that one.
261
How about this?
262
But it's a little bit larger and heavier.
263
Hmm, yeah, this is too heavy.
264
I recommend buying the first one.
265
Alright, I'll buy the first one.
266
What colour do you want to choose?
267
I'd want the black one.
268
Hello, Jim's Pizza Shop.
269
How can I take your order?
270
Yes, I'd like one Hawaiian pizza.
271
Which size do you want?
272
Small.
273
What crust would you like?
274
Classic crust, please.
275
Anything else with that?
276
Two Cokes, please.
277
Yes.
278
Ah, I'll have two breadsticks.
279
Yes, one Hawaiian pizza, two Cokes, and two breadsticks.
280
Yes, that's all.
281
That'll be $29.
282
Your pizza will be ready in 20 minutes.
283
Thanks.
284
Good morning, what's troubling you?
285
Good morning, doctor.
286
I have a terrible headache.
287
Alright, young man, what are your symptoms?
288
Yesterday I had a runny nose.
289
I have a sore throat.
290
And I'm afraid I've got a fever.
291
Don't worry, young man.
292
Let me give you an examination. Is it serious?
293
What am I supposed to do then?
294
A good rest is all you need.
295
And drink more water.
296
I'll write you a prescription.
297
Thank you.
298
So, I'm gonna give you two different types of drugs.
299
Please take these every day after supper.
300
I got it.
301
If you're not better after that, come and see me again.
302
Thank you very much.
303
Do you want to see pictures of my family?
304
Yeah, of course.
305
Oh, who is the baby?
306
That's my daughter.
307
Her name is Allie.
308
Oh, she's cute.
309
Yeah, this picture is from her first birthday.
310
Who are the other people in the picture?
311
That's me in the blue dress.
312
The other people are my parents.
313
Your parents look very nice.
314
Thanks.
315
My mother's name is Emily and my father's name is Dom.
316
Do you have any brothers and sisters?
317
Yes, I've got a brother and a sister.
318
Oh, are they married?
319
My sister is married, but my brother is still a student.
320
Here's another picture.
321
I recognize you, but who's the man?
322
That's my husband Daniel.
323
He's a great cook.
324
My husband's a terrible cook.
325
You are really funny.
326
Do you want to see my pictures?
327
Sure.
328
Hello, do you need any help finding anything?
329
I am looking for glasses.
330
Yes, my eyes have been quite bad lately.
331
What kind of glasses do you like?
332
Hmm, I don't know.
333
Do you recommend any kind?
334
OK, do you like square glasses?
335
I've been wearing square -shaped glasses for a long time and would like to try something different.
336
So you should try these glasses.
337
It's very popular there.
338
Look great.
339
Yes, they're brand new.
340
Can I try them on?
341
Go ahead, try them on.
342
Thanks.
343
Now I need a mirror.
344
Here.
345
How do you feel?
346
You look cute in them.
347
Thanks.
348
I'll take it.
349
I apologize for the inconvenience, but could you possibly cancel my appointment for today?
350
Sure.
351
Thanks so much.
352
Is there another day you could come in?
353
What about this Saturday?
354
This Saturday is unfortunately completely booked.
355
What a pity.
356
We can schedule you for next Saturday.
357
But one of my teeth is starting to hurt.
358
Can we do Thursday late afternoon?
359
Yes.
360
That's great.
361
See you soon.
362
Can't wait for your party on Sunday.
363
Me too.
364
It starts at 6pm, doesn't it?
365
That's right.
366
What's your apartment number?
367
1008. Yeah, I remember.
368
My apartment is in a two -building complex.
369
I know.
370
See you later.
371
See ya.
372
By the way, what time is it?
373
Sorry, no watch today and I left my phone at home.
374
That's bad.
375
At the entrance of the station, there's a clock.
376
Nice.
377
However, it looks like the train will arrive in five minutes.
378
Is it the ten o 'clock train?
379
Yes.
380
Right.
381
The supermarket.
382
Hello.
383
Did you find everything you need today?
384
Yes, yes.
385
All good.
386
Thank you.
387
Great.
388
That will be 2540.
389
Do you want to pay by cash or card?
390
Card here, please.
391
Hmm.
392
It says the card was declined.
393
Declined?
394
What's declined?
395
It means the card didn't work.
396
Maybe there's a problem.
397
Could you try another card?
398
Oh, okay.
399
Let me check.
400
I only have this card.
401
What can I do?
402
No problem.
403
Do you have cash?
404
No cash, sorry.
405
No problem.
406
Do you see the ATM outside, near the entrance?
407
ATM?
408
Oh, yes, I see it.
409
You can use your card there to take out cash.
410
Then come back here to pay.
411
Oh, okay, I'll do that.
412
Thank you for helping.
413
The Park Finally the weekend.
414
A morning walk in the park feels so good.
415
But first I need coffee.
416
The cafe is over there.
417
Coffee and walking?
418
Sounds nice.
419
Let's go.
420
Look at that guy running.
421
He's so fast.
422
Yeah, he's amazing.
423
I used to run like that.
424
Really?
425
When was that?
426
Hmm, maybe five years ago.
427
Before I started watching Netflix every day.
428
That sounds more like it.
429
Oh look, there's a dog chasing a frisbee.
430
It's so cute.
431
Wait, is the frisbee...
432
Oh no, it's flying straight at us. That was close.
433
I almost lost my cool.
434
Cool?
435
You made a funny noise like a kid.
436
I didn't make a noise.
437
I was showing concern.
438
The Library Hi, excuse me.
439
I lost my library card.
440
Oh no. Don't worry.
441
When did you last use it?
442
Yesterday.
443
I was studying upstairs.
444
Okay, let's check.
445
What is your name?
446
Emma Johnson.
447
Found it.
448
Your card has not been used since yesterday.
449
That's good.
450
Oh, thank you.
451
What do I need to do?
452
First, I will block your old card.
453
Then I will give you a new one.
454
Great.
455
Thank you so much.
456
Please fill out this form.
457
You will get your new card in a few minutes.
458
Do I have to pay for this?
459
No, it's free for the first time, but next time there will be a fee.
460
I will be careful now, I promise.
461
Here's your new card, all ready.
462
Thank you so much.
463
Maybe tie it to your hand this time.
464
The shopping mall.
465
Excuse me, can I see that red coat on the mannequin?
466
Oh, this jacket is perfect!
467
I've been wanting something like this for winter!
468
It looks great on that jacket.
469
I want to try it too.
470
Oh, really?
471
I'll take this.
472
Let me check the size for you.
473
A minute, please.
474
Yes, please.
475
Sorry, this is the last one we have in stock.
476
The last one?
477
Wait, only one?
478
That's a problem.
479
I've checked the system.
480
Unfortunately, there's no more in the back or online.
481
I really want this coat.
482
It's perfect for my new job interview next week.
483
And I need it for a family event this weekend.
484
I can't wear anything else.
485
Please, calm down.
486
Let's find a solution.
487
What solution?
488
There's only one coat.
489
I agree.
490
How do we decide who gets it?
491
Here's an idea.
492
Our store will restock these in two weeks.
493
Two weeks?
494
My interview is in five days.
495
That doesn't help me either.
496
My event's in three days.
497
Let me show you a similar coat we just received.
498
It's equally stylish.
499
Is it really as good as this one?
500
I doubt it.
501
Please, just take a look.
502
Follow me.
503
This coat is new, and we only have a few left.
504
It's versatile and fits any occasion.
505
Hmm, it's nice, but I still like the red one more.
506
I agree, but this one isn't bad.
507
I can offer a discount for this coat since it's part of a new collection.
508
All right, I'll take this one.
509
The Bank Good morning, young man.
510
I'd like to deposit some money into my account, please.
511
Good morning, ma 'am. Of course.
512
Can you please fill out this deposit slip?
513
Oh dear, my eyesight isn't what it used to be.
514
Can you fill it out for me?
515
Certainly ma 'am.
516
What's your account number?
517
It's written on...
518
Oh no, where did I put the little paper?
519
Take your time ma 'am.
520
Here it is.
521
Oh, wait.
522
This just says, eggs, bread, and milk.
523
It's all right, ma 'am.
524
Do you have your debit card with you?
525
I think so.
526
Here you go.
527
Ma 'am, this is a library card.
528
Oh, my.
529
How embarrassing.
530
I must have left my debit card at home.
531
What do I do now?
532

Informazioni su questa lezione

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.
