How about scrambled eggs?

We all like eggs?
10
Let's better make frittata.
11
Sounds perfect.
12
How many eggs do we need?
13
Well, I think we need eight eggs.
14
And we need a little cheese, bacon, one onion, one pepper, and heavy cream.
15
Do we have all the ingredients?
16
Let me check.
17
Fortunately, we have everything we need.
18
Let's get started.
19
Let's pop the pan in the oven for 15 minutes.
20
How about we also make banana smoothie?
21
Would you like that?
22
I'm afraid we don't have any bananas left.
23
We ate them all yesterday.
24
But we have plenty of mangoes in the fridge.
25
Mangoes are great too.
26
Oh, it looks amazing.
27
It's beautifully puffed and cooked.
28
We can add some yogurt on top and some avocado slices.
29
It's ready to be served.
30
Something smells delicious in here.
31
You've made breakfast, kids?
32
What a pleasant surprise.
33
I didn't expect that.
34
What's the occasion?
35
We just wanted you to have a lovely Saturday morning.
36
That's so sweet.
37
I'm impressed, really.
38
Thank you so much.

It's so good to see you again.
45
Great to see you, too, Jason.
46
Did you have a good spring break?
47
Yeah, it wasn't too bad.
48
Although my mom had to work a lot of it, So I was in charge of looking after my little brother Jimmy.
49
Oh, no. Well, he's a very cool kid and great company.
50
He's like a mini-me.
51
I took him to the skate park and some other attractions.
52
Ah, that sounds all right.
53
I might need to meet the little dude at some point.
54
He helps me remember to be a kid and still have fun.
55
Nice.
56
What about you?
57
What did you get up to?
58
We went to visit my aunt and uncle.
59
They live on the other side of the country.
60
Really?
61
Was it good?
62
Did you have fun?
63
Yeah, we had a great time.
64
They live right next to a forest, and me and my cousins roam free all day.
65
We made dens to shelter when the rain came.
66
tracked animals through the bush and saw deer and rabbits and went canoeing on the river.
67
My uncle taught me how to use the paddles correctly and how to steer the canoe through the water.
68
Wow, you had so many amazing experiences.
69
Yes, I did.
70
And there's more.
71
They also have a big farm with so many animals.
72
I took care of them too.
73
Were there any horses at the farm?
74
Yes, there were many beautiful horses.
75
Wow, how cool.
76
Did you ride a horse?
77
Yes, I did.
78
It was fantastic.
79
I've never ridden a horse.
80
Well, next time, I'll see if you can come too.
81
I can show you how country folk live.
82
Yes, that would be awesome. Do you live here?
83
Excuse me, do you live here by chance?
84
Yes, I do.
85
How can I help you?
86
Oh, great
87
My wife and I are visiting for the week
88
And I'm looking for a local to help us get to know the town And what's good to see
89
Is that something you can help with?
90
Of course, I've lived here all my life I can tell you a thing or two Wonderful Personally,
91
this is the most wonderful place to visit We by far have the best walks
92
Because they go all along the top of the cliffs And you can see the most extensive range of wildlife.
93
We have a remarkable display of birds, some native and others seasonal.
94
And an incredible array of butterflies.
95
Oh, that sounds great.
96
We love to walk and we love nature.
97
We'll make sure we check them out.
98
Then, if you stop at the beach, you'll be able to feel the softest sand between your toes
99
That sounds heavenly And you mustn't leave without trying the gelato made here in the town I can assure you,
100
it is the tastiest around And once you've tried one, you'll be back every day of your visit
101
Thank you so much for your help I think we'll have a fantastic time here I just hope the weather holds off.
102
Oh, I'm sure it will.
103
It's known as the sunniest spot around these parts.
104
That's good to know.
105
Thank you so much.
106
You're very welcome.
107
Spending Habits and Saving Money Oh, wow, look at that jacket it.
108
I've wanted one like that forever.
109
I think I'll buy it.
110
Can we go into the store?
111
Yeah, that's nice.
112
Let's take a look.
113
Oh, here it is.
114
Let me try it on.
115
Looks good.
116
What does the price tag say?
117
Oh my goodness! $200?
118
That's a lot, but I need it.
119
I think I'll buy it anyway. Are you sure?
120
You could buy that somewhere else for a fraction of the cost.
121
No, I like splashing the cash.
122
Last week I went to buy some new bed sheets.
123
They cost me $150 in the end.
124
What?
125
They were just so comfortable.
126
That's so much money.
127
Do you ever have any money left at the end of the month?
128
No, I've usually spent it.
129
Why, do you?
130
Always.
131
Buying items new or at full price is not necessary.
132
If you wait a few weeks, that jacket will be on sale.
133
That's a point.
134
How else do you save money?
135
I only generally buy things I need.
136
And for items I want, I look to buy second hand.
137
Often, they're just as good as new.
138
If not, I scour the sale items.
139
And I find it quite fun coming across an absolute bargain.
140
Oh, okay.
141
That's a good idea.
142
It also means I can put money aside, into my savings account, or towards a holiday.
143
Now we're talking.
144
Maybe I don't need this jacket after all.
145
Plans for the weekend.
146
Wow, I can't believe it's nearly the weekend again already.
147
I know, the week is whizzing by so fast.
148
What have you got planned?
149
It's a family weekend for me.
150
I will be collecting my mom and dad early on Saturday morning and driving them to a rental property by the sea.
151
It's going to be peaceful and give everybody some real time out. That sounds divine.
152
I love visiting the ocean.
153
I think I'll be going with my family during the summer break.
154
What are you planning for your weekend?
155
I'll be taking things easy.
156
This week is hard work, and I need some rest and relaxation.
157
However, I will be going for dinner and drinks with my brothers on Saturday night.
158
Nice! Where to?
159
Just in town.
160
Nowhere far out of my way.
161
I want to keep things as easy as possible.
162
Sounds great!
163
Enjoy!
164
Yeah, enjoy your weekend away, too.
165
Thanks!
166
Comparing two countries Glenn, I need your help.
167
I'm thinking about traveling and don't know where to start.
168
Oh, wow, that's exciting.
169
When do you want to go?
170
July.
171
And do you have a continent in mind?
172
Either Europe or Asia.
173
Okay, cool.
174
That narrows it down slightly.
175
Kind of.
176
Okay, so thinking of Asia, you could start in Thailand.
177
Many people do, and it's an excellent base to travel to the rest of Southeast Asia.
178
Okay, and what about Europe?
179
I've always loved Austria, although that's very different to Thailand.
180
Summer in Austria is mild.
181
It's much colder than Thailand.
182
You definitely won't suffer from heat.
183
That's good to know.
184
In the foothill valleys and mountains you can even freeze.
185
Really?
186
Is it that cold there?
187
Yes.
188
If you intend to visit alpine valleys, you should have an autumn jacket.
189
Obviously, Thailand is much hotter, and many parts are very touristy with visitors.
190
Yeah, they're two very different countries.
191
Definitely, lots of Thailand has excellent beaches, but the views in Austria are stunning.
192
I see.
193
You may find the language barrier in Austria easier.
194
Almost everybody speaks English.
195
Is that so?
196
Very interesting.
197
The sanitation in parts of Thailand is also worse than in Austria, and you're more likely to have an upset stomach.
198
Hmm, that doesn't sound good.
199
It also depends on how far you want to travel and how much you want to spend.
200
Austria is much closer, but Thailand will be much cheaper.
201
Wow, I have a lot to think about.
202
Thank you for your help.
203
No worries at all.
204
Talking about life history.
205
How long have you worked with this company, Rod?
206
Oh, I think it's 20 years this year.
207
Wow, you don't look old enough to have worked here for that long.
208
You're too kind.
209
If you don't mind me asking, what year were you born?
210
No worries.
211
I was born in 1981.
212
I finished college and came straight here and never left.
213
Wow.
214
How about you?
215
Oh, I'm much older than you.
216
I was born in 1973, but didn't go to college.
217
And it's taken me a while to work my way up.
218
Were you born around here?
219
Oh, yes.
220
I've always lived here.
221
You?
222
Yep.
223
As local as they come.
224
What high school did you go to?
225
Redbrook High.
226
Oh, cool.
227
I was just down the street at Bayview High.
228
I had lots of friends at Redbrook, though.
229
Nice.
230
Yeah.
231
I went from Redbrook straight to Princeton.
232
Graduated in 2002 and got a job here.
233
It's what I've always wanted to do.
234
That's an excellent way to do it When I left high school, my first job was as an apprentice electrician I did like it,
235
but it wasn't really for me Fast forward a good few years, I tried many jobs, but settled on engineering That's great!
236
I love hearing the stories of how everybody comes to be where they are now Me too Right.
237
I'd best get back to my desk.
238
Catch you later.
239
Catch you later.
240
Different lifestyles.
241
Are you ready to go?
242
Go where?
243
We're meeting my parents at the new Italian place for lunch.
244
Oh, are we?
245
Why have you got your gym clothes on?
246
I'm booked in with my personal trainer.
247
I'm so sorry.
248
I can't cancel.
249
It cost me $40.
250
Are you joking with me?
251
This has been on the calendar for weeks.
252
My mom and dad have traveled two hours to meet us, and you're going to the gym?
253
I honestly can't remember you telling me.
254
I also can't eat pasta or pizza on my diet.
255
Okay, this is going a little too far.
256
What do you mean?
257
Jess, I love you, and I love that you want to look after yourself Great, I love you too But your obsession with your health and fitness is going too far
258
You spend more time with your personal trainer than with me No,
259
I don't Well, it certainly feels like it Then your diet is so controlled,
260
we can't go out for meals or drinks It's making everything so complicated I'm so sorry you feel this way.
261
I don't know what to say.
262
My health and fitness means so much to me.
263
Our lifestyles have gone in different directions.
264
Does it mean more to you than us?
265
I'm not sure, but I don't think I should be made to feel bad or give it all up.
266
I understand.
267
We'll talk about this later.
268
Right now, I need to meet Mom and Dad. to the next video.

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.
