Hi, my name is Evie and this is a video in slow English to help you practice your listening comprehension.

Of soda.

We'll see.

And because it attaches.

And they were so helpful in my second year.

I have no plan, I'm just gonna...

I thought that we could have a really cozy day where we bake some cookies.

That is the only plan for today.

In this bag next to me, I can stand up.

Hang on.

In this bag, I have the ingredients,

the things we need to make cookies.

The only thing in this bag which has nothing to do with cookies are these tulips.

I just bought those for me.

Today we are going to be making pistachio and white chocolate cookies.

When I was in Sweden a few weeks ago,

I went to a cafe and had a pistachio and white chocolate cookie

and it was it was literally so good

and I have been thinking about it I have been thinking

about it for like a month I just want to eat

it I want to eat it again I've bought here the

ingredients I've bought all of the things I need we have flour brown sugar pistachios white chocolate chips an egg,

this is vanilla extract, butter,

unsalted butter and bicarbonate of soda.

I am following the recipe today by jamespatisserie.com.

I will put it in the description in case you want to make them as well.

I have actually, I've never made this recipe before.

I don't know if they are good or not, but that's the recipe.

Great.

Step one, hair up.

I have with me this claw clip, my claw clip.

I'm going to put up my hair.

Hair is up.

Next step, wash my hands.

Cool.

The, the counter, the counter,

the, ooh, the table is already clean.

So we also need to make these cookies.

We need a scale and something to mix with.

So you can mix by hand,

like with a,

you know one of these you can mix by hand with like a wooden like a wooden spoon

and a bowl guys I'm lazy okay we're gonna be doing

it with an electric with an electric mixer okay these are

the scales it's a plural we call it a scales but plural these are scales and a mixer,

an electric mixer and this is the mixing bowl.

Step one, preheat the oven to 190 to 170 degrees C.

Great, 100, I'm going to do 180 because it's halfway.

It's halfway between 170 and 190.

Step two, mix the butter and sugar together until creamy.

One slight problem is my butter is not very warm.

It's been in the fridge.

This is a fridge, hey?

That's a fridge.

It's gonna be quite difficult to make that smooth.

Somebody actually commented on one of my videos,

like, I don't know when,

maybe two weeks ago, somebody asked me

if I can cook the answer is yes yes I can I can cook

but I cannot bake so cooking is like savory food

so breakfast like savory food so rice or pasta or pizza

I can cook that I can cook that no problem

but baking honestly I never bake I'm faking it like for this video I am baking

and I never I do not normally bake we need 125 grams of unsalted butter.

So let me grab a knife.

This is 250 grams of butter.

So I'm just gonna halve it.

I'm just gonna cut it in half.

I think that is one half.

This is now 125 grams of butter.

And now we need 175 grams of sugar.

We have this light brown sugar.

I need some scissors to open the packaging.

Great.

And now we need to measure 175 grams of light brown sugar.

You need to mix the sugar with the butter.

Have you heard the expression before of ish?

In English, if we put ish at the end of something,

it means like kinda, more or less, like hmm.

so if I measure 175 grams of sugar

but I eyeball it I just kind of guess

if I have enough it means I have 175 grams ish of of sugar so I am going to use

this attachment.

It's an attachment because it attaches to my mixer.

I'm going to turn it on.

Oh shit.

Fuck.

I need this.

This is a cover to...

I need this cover, this cover to make sure that this stays in the bowl and doesn't explode

everywhere.

Ready?

Three, two, one.

this is the butter and the sugar mixed together until kind of creamy

the next step is add the egg vanilla and mix again oops i'm going to crack the egg

there we go I have cracked the egg

and now I'm going to wash my hands again it then says add the vanilla extract

and mix again I am going to eyeball it to eyeball is just I'm gonna just guess.

I'm gonna.. oof, that's it.

100

101

A dash of vanilla extract.

102

So now that has all been mixed together,

103

heard of the like Dubai chocolate trend that's going like crazy

123

everywhere I've been speaking to some of my students like well we've not spoken about it for a

124

while but I know that in Korea everybody was obsessed with this like Dubai chewy cookie which is basically like

125

some kind of pistachio chewy thing.

126

It's not like a cookie like I'm making today, like a biscuit.

127

In the UK we call these,

128

a cookie is like a biscuit,

129

but a biscuit in the UK is different, so OMG.

130

In America, they will call anything that looks like a biscuit a cookie.

131

But in the UK, a biscuit is basically a bit less sweet.

132

And a cookie is basically only these biscuits that have like chocolate chips or things like that.

133

I'm doing a really bad job.

134

Anyway, in Korea,

135

they've become obsessed with these Dubai chewy cookies

136

or they were obsessed people in Korea were obsessed with the Dubai tree cookie

137

and people were spending people were spending like they were telling me seven

138

or eight dollars on a Dubai chewy cookie

139

that trend has not taken off here in the UK there was a trend for like Dubai chocolate

140

which is yeah it's like pistachio and

141

like a sweet pastry I think I honestly I've never I've never had Dubai chocolate Dubai chocolate

142

if you're from Dubai you're probably thinking what what is Dubai chocolate

143

but that's just what we what we call it have you ever had Dubai chocolate

144

or have you had a Dubai chewy cookie is

145

that a thing where you live is

146

that popular um that's slang by the way is

147

that a thing is

148

that like popular guys i've been chopping pistachios now for like

149

too long this is how they look now bro i'm just

150

going for it this seems like a lot of pistachio there's more pistachio there's more pistachio than anything else which seems extreme.

151

I'm gonna now mix it again.

152

This seems very very dense like I have made cookies in the past

153

and I feel like it was not so dense as this.

154

When I say dense I mean like it's like thick and I

155

I think this is kind of the best I can do.

156

Portion into cookies and place onto lined trays.

157

I'm gonna take a small section of dough and make it into like a little disc like a ball I guess.

158

The cookie dough is It's basically done, you can see.

159

So I'm gonna put this in the oven.

160

While we wait for the cookies,

161

I thought that we could have a quick chat.

162

The time right now is 4 p.m.

163

So I have until 10 past four to chat chat.

164

172

no last year I watched it last year in 2025

173

175

if you like romance romance series the summer I turned pretty is so good it's a show on Amazon

176

and it's a book it's also a book as well anyway

177

that was all that was all I wanted to say in this interlude

178

and interlude is like a little break a little break a little pause in our baking

179

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.
