1
So you're coming for six days?
2
Yeah, one week.
3
Today, at Perth Airport, a detected dog reacted to this Taiwanese woman arriving from Malaysia.
4
What do you do while you're here?
5
I have a friend here, known for the internet.
6
Oh, just over the internet?
7
Yeah, but we know many years.
8
So what does he do?
9
I'm not exactly know what does he do.
10
Now, I saw in your passport, you were just in Australia a couple of weeks ago in Brisbane.
11
Yes.
12
What was that for?
13
It was like for holidays.
14
Just for holidays?
15
Because I've never been to Brisbane.
16
So what did you do in Brisbane?
17
Actually, I was planning to stay one week.
18
I was got.. what was it?
19
The.. diarrhea, great bad.
20
So I only stayed for three days.
21
So I got home.
22
You come here for three days and you get sick.
23
Yeah.
24
And then you go home.
25
Yeah.
26
And then you come back again.
27
Yeah.
28
Couldn't you have just stayed in the hotel for a few days, get better?
29
I don't feel well.
30
I feel like dying.
31
How do you feel if you feel dying?
32
You want to go see your mum and family?
33
I really feel sick.
34
Not when you come this far.
35
Only a few hours drive, I'll fly.
36
It's sort of a long way.
37
Unusual travel movements need to be investigated, so officers will be sure to conduct a thorough search.
38
Right, what we're going to do, we're just going to have a look through your bags.
39
I just need to ask you some questions first.
40
Yeah.
41
Okay.
42
Have you ever been in contact with any...
43
Never.
44
Has anyone asked you to bring anything...
45
Never, no. ...on this trip?
46
No. Okay.
47
So you think I carry...
48
Oh, no, that's what we check for.
49
That's our job.
50
In Sydney, this Malaysian man has been referred to immigration after officers from Customs and Border Protection conducted a bag search.
51
Their investigation revealed several clues that raised questions about his real reason for being here.
52
They have got concerns about him because he's got a book and a ticket for six days.
53
He works in a restaurant in Malaysia.
54
How do you know a bit more about his work and where he's working and if any members can confirm anything?
55
What about his travels on his passport?
56
Nothing.
57
OK, so...
58
It's his first time out of Malaysia, so with the help of an interpreter, officers will try to understand why the sudden interest in coming here.
59
OK, why have you come to Australia?
60
He's coming here for a visit.
61
OK.
62
What did you do in Malaysia before deciding to come to Australia?
63
I'm working in a restaurant.
64
Are you able to provide us numbers so we can confirm what you're telling us?
65
Yeah.
66
Yes.
67
Basically, we're going to make some phone calls just to confirm the details.
68
A phone call to the passengers' contact in Malaysia does nothing to help the situation.
69
He doesn't know his family composition.
70
He can't tell me whether he's married or single.
71
All he knows is that he's on holiday here and he's coming back in a few days.
72
That's all he knows.
73
Immigration needs to establish the passenger's true intentions.
74
But as the interview recommences, he makes a surprising admission.
75
I come here to work and now you are not allowing me entry.
76
I'm sorry, what did he say?
77
I'm coming here to work.
78
So you've travelled overseas many times and you've...
79
Yeah, a couple of times.
80
Every time you've come back you've filled out one of these forms, haven't you?
81
Yeah, I did.
82
A family has returned from a holiday in Fiji and Officer Sean has begun inspecting their bags for any quarantine risks.
83
Fresh produce.
84
That one is our mistake, I understand, but we got these ones from...
85
They said it should be fine.
86
Yeah, these ones are fine.
87
This is definitely not allowed.
88
I know, I know, I know.
89
Nearly every question is asked you about something that you actually have.
90
You have wooden articles, you have shells, you have seeds, you have soil, you have fresh produce.
91
I didn't know they put it in the bag, like my parents...
92
Okay, it's a legal document.
93
You're signing a form saying, no, I'm not bringing anything into the country.
94
And even though your parents have had it, you've obviously taken some responsibility for knowing that they've got it.
95
So you should have marked them on your card.
96
It's my bad.
97
I have to speak to my supervisor now because obviously there's...
98
We give you some consideration for forgetting that you have some things.
99
But the amount of things that you have here, this is going to take you over the tide.
100
Australian Mobile.
101
On a recent trip, this Taiwanese woman went to Brisbane, but this time she has landed in Perth.
102
Perth.
103
So when you leave here, you're going straight back to Taiwan?
104
Yeah, Malaysia and Taiwan.
105
Officers need to know why she travels so frequently and how she funds these trips.
106
Obviously, with the amount of travel that people do, like short periods of stay in different countries and a lot in a small amount of time,
107
we're actually wondering how they're funding these travel movements.
108
So what sort of work do you do in Taiwan?
109
I work in the restaurant.
110
I'm the manager.
111
Oh, manager.
112
What sort of restaurant?
113
It's a Western, Western, it meets Chinese.
114
And that's in Taiwan?
115
Yeah.
116
Where did you buy your ticket?
117
My friend bought me, I borrowed money from him, so he paid for it.
118
So he paid for your ticket?
119
No, he paid now, but I will give him back later.
120
But he bought your ticket for you?
121
Yeah.
122
Have you seen one of these?
123
This picks up any traces of narcotics.
124
It tells us whether you've been in contact with any narcotics, drugs?
125
What does that mean?
126
Drugs?
127
Yes?
128
Have you been in contact with any?
129
No. No?
130
Swear.
131
No.
132
I'm coming here to work to work.
133
You're coming here to work? Can you...?
134
A Malaysian passenger has just come clean that he lied to officers that he was here for a holiday.
135
I was telling you lies previously.
136
I came here with an intention to work.
137
OK.
138
All right.
139
OK, where did you want to work?
140
I want to be able to pick apples here.
141
Pick apples.
142
OK.
143
Earlier on, I was afraid.
144
If you want to come and work in Australia, there is appropriate visas.
145
You can't come in on a tourist visa and decide that you want to work.
146
Yes.
147
You are not allowing me entry now.
148
Well, basically, you know, you have provided us false information, and you've admitted to me that you've come here to work, and it leaves me no choice.
149
I have to serve you with the notice of intention to consider cancellation of your visa.
150
I cannot.
151
No, you cannot work here.
152
If I have a holiday here, I won't work.
153
A detector dog had a positive reaction to this Taiwanese woman.
154
But now, officers may have come to a dead end.
155
So we'll just keep testing and see whether she's got anything.
156
When you were in Malaysia, what did you do?
157
I looked around.
158
Yeah, what did you see?
159
Twin towers.
160
Twin towers.
161
Anything else?
162
Twin towers, shopping, shopping malls.
163
So did you take lots of photos?
164
I lost my camera.
165
You lost your camera?
166
Yeah.
167
So you're not carrying a camera with you today?
168
No, I lost the camera in the train in Malaysia.
169
So who did you meet in Malaysia?
170
Who I meet?
171
Who did you meet?
172
Taxi driver.
173
Yeah.
174
Every day because I take taxi.
175
Yeah, but any friends?
176
Yeah, a couple.
177
Couple?
178
Yeah.
179
Who are your friends in Malaysia? Is students.
180
Students?
181
Yep.
182
Officers will continue swabbing the passengers' bags to test for traces of narcotics.
183
Again, it's negative, but they'll X-ray it just to be sure that there are no concealments.
184
The handle, it looks consistent, but it's quite dense.
185
So we're just going to run a swab over it, and if that actually detects something,
186
we'll actually have a better look at it. So nothing declared, eh?
187
Yeah.
188
A supervising officer has been called after a family returning from Fiji was found to have a large quantity of undeclared items.
189
Oh, we got some fresh fruit as well.
190
Yeah, that's the issue there.
191
Got a whole bevy of quarantine concerns.
192
I said there's every question there and is it applicable to what he's got?
193
The family also brought a large amount of seashells.
194
Have a good look at them, because as I said, they could be even, you know, you could even have live little...
195
Thermic crabs or anything in there.
196
Yeah, I'll have a quick sniff and see if anything stands out.
197
Straight off the beach.
198
Straight off the beach, definitely.
199
I'm gonna go and wash this off.
200
Got a whole heap of issues that we need to deal with here today.
201
Yeah, that's right.
202
You've got some fresh fruit, okay, which obviously falls under any food, including dried, fresh, preserved, cooked or uncooked.
203
And you've answered no?
204
That's right, yeah.
205
Do you realise that those two pieces of fruit could bring in disease?
206
I know, I know, I know, yeah.
207
OK?
208
Yeah, that's true.
209
We've actually swabbed the handle of the bag, and it's come up with cannabis and marijuana.
210
We swab the handle of your bag, and that gives us a reading for drugs.
211
Are you carrying anything in your bags?
212
Drugs?
213
Never.
214
I never touch drugs.
215
Has anyone asked you to bring something for them?
216
No. No. So if we open your bags and x-ray, we'll find any.
217
I'm in charge.
218
Yeah, no problem.
219
No drugs.
220
I don't even smoke.
221
No?
222
I never smoke.
223
Have you ever come in contact with any drugs?
224
Never.
225
Does any of your friends use drugs?
226
Sure, never.
227
100%.
228
Never.
229
Any of your friends use drugs?
230
Officers have determined there are no concealments in the handle of her bag, but the drug reading still causes concern.
231
They're also worried about documentation they've found in her bag, which shows she's receiving funds from someone in Australia.
232
So why is he sending you money?
233
Because I need money to travel.
234
So you do all this travelling, but you have no money?
235
I have money.
236
You're asking people for money.
237
I have money.
238
Then why are you asking him to send you money?
239
And why do you ask...
240
I say I'll pay him later.
241
But you say you have money.
242
You ask someone to buy you a ticket.
243
You ask someone in Australia to send you money.
244
Uh-huh.
245
I'll ask you again.
246
Are you carrying anything that anyone has asked you to bring in?
247
No. So everything, the baggage, the whole lot, everything belongs to you.
248
Yes.
249
And you know what's in everything.
250
Yes.
251
So there's nothing here that belongs to anyone else.
252
Yeah.
253
We do a swab from this bag, and it comes back again for drugs, for opium, which is the base for heroin.
254
It's not possible.
255
Not possible?
256
Yeah, because I'm sorry, it's no drugs.
257
It's not possible.
258
Quarantine officer Sean is removing potential soil contamination from a pair of shoes belonging to a member of a family.
259
They have returned from Fiji with fresh fruit that is extremely high risk.
260
There is a degree of non-compliance with him for fresh produce.
261
He's prosecutable items, yeah.
262
So he's in dangerous ground, to be honest with you.
263
I accept my fault, so let's see what happens next.
264
Basically, because you failed to declare, there will be a fine of $220 today imposed.
265
Just have a read through that.
266
He did get away lightly.
267
If he did what he was supposed to do, we wouldn't have had this problem at all, but he was very close to a prosecution.
268
It could have been thousands of dollars going to court, paying fines, a record.
269
The passengers paid the $220 fine, and officers believe they've learnt their lesson.
270
Thank you very much.
271
Take care, OK?
272
See you later, guys.
273
It's a simple matter of crossing the box, and no problem at all.
274
But they'll cross the box in the future, I'm sure.
275
Just take care, everyone, and be careful when you come here.
276
Don't forget to declare everything, OK?
277
Peace, guys.
278
Why do you think we would be getting readings off your bags for drugs?
279
I don't know.
280
Before you can tear it out.
281
Really, no drugs.
282
Where have you used this bag? Where?
283
Yes.
284
I travel all the time.
285
So you use it all the time?
286
Yeah.
287
Even in your eyes.
288
As officers continue to search, the woman seems to be increasingly nervous.
289
Is this perfume?
290
Yep.
291
Yep.
292
She's taking time to actually think of the answers, which is a bit concerned.
293
concerning for us because if you've travelled and travelled legitimately, you'll actually answer those questions fluently.
294
While Officer Chris continues his questioning, Officer Sandra conducts another narcotic swab test.
295
This swab has actually come up as heroin and marijuana.
296
Everything we swab now is telling us drugs.
297
Why would that be?
298
I never take drugs.
299
I'm not asking you if you take drugs, it's what you might be carrying that worries me.
300
OK, go check.
301
That's what we are doing.
302
Officer Chris thinks he's found a problem inside the woman's empty suitcase.
303
Bottom of the bag, it feels quite thick.
304
Looks like it's been taped around the edges.
305
And there's actually a screw, a loose screw in the bottom as well.
306
What mine?
307
In immigration, this Malaysian man has made a startling revelation.
308
He's admitted to lying and providing me false information initially.
309
His intentions are to come here and work, to pick apples.
310
He has been served with a notice of intention to consider cancelling his visa.
311
Do you have any reasons to justify to me that, you know, why your visa should not be cancelled?
312
So this time I will apply for the appropriate visa to work, but this time I won't, so I hope you can allow me to stay.
313
No, I'm trying to explain to you, you've already admitted your intentions, that you lied before you gave me false information.
314
You've admitted that your intentions are here to work.
315
For immigration, there is only one decision to make.
316
I cannot justify to the department immigration clearing you.
317
It's 11.42, your visa's been cancelled and you're detained under Section 189 under the Migration Act.
318
It is an unfortunate situation.
319
He's given us false information initially, so I can't justify letting him in.
320
So he's got to go back and when the time is right for him, he can apply for an appropriate visa.
321
Why are we getting readings off all your things?
322
Not just one, not just two, but now everything we swab, we get readings.
323
Why?
324
I don't know.
325
I don't take drops.
326
Can I have a glass of water?
327
John, would you like to get a glass of water?
328
In Perth, Officer Chris thinks he has found a problem with the passengers large suitcase.
329
Bottom of the bag, it feels quite thick.
330
Looks like it's been taped around the edges.
331
And there's actually a screw, a loose screw in the bottom as well.
332
So it actually feels quite thick.
333
Hello, ma'am.
334
I'm the supervisor here today.
335
Can you tell me what's in the bottom of this bag?
336
I don't know.
337
Can you tell me why it's taped up, ma'am?
338
I don't know.
339
You don't know why it's taped up?
340
I don't know.
341
So we've got really high ratings of heroin, opium and marijuana.
342
Tell us about this bag.
343
What do you believe is inside the bag?
344
I don't know.
345
You believe you're carrying something that you shouldn't be carrying?
346
I don't think I carry anything.
347
OK.
348
An X-ray will confirm if there's anything concealed within the suitcase lining.
349
Possibly a concealment in here.
350
The X-ray is inconclusive.
351
Do you know what is inside the bag?
352
I don't know.
353
I swear, I don't know.
354
You can see there's a concealment inside the bag.
355
Can you tell us what it is?
356
I don't know.
357
I don't think it has something inside.
358
Okay, so at the moment we're going to find out what it is.
359
Okay?
360
Okay.
361
Let's see what comes out of the drill bit.
362
Yeah.
363
They'll conduct a narcotics field test in the safety of the fume cabinet.
364
It's come back as opium, but it's a small amount.
365
It's a light pink, so it's still for opium.
366
Excellent.
367
Would you like us to do...
368
That's all we need to do at this stage.
369
They feel in their way.
370
It was just...
371
Anything you say or do will be recorded and might be used in evidence.
372
So just understand that anything you say, we will record and it might be used in evidence.
373
Do you understand?
374
Okay.
375
The passenger was found to be carrying 1.2 kilograms of heroin.
376
It has a street value of nearly $500,000.
377
The passenger was returned to Malaysia that same day.
378
He will be subject to a three year exclusion period.

Perché praticare il parlato con questo video?
Questo video è una risorsa eccellente per la pratica di conversazione in inglese perché rappresenta un contesto reale: un'interrogazione all'aeroporto, con dialoghi spontanei e situazioni concrete. Le frasi non sono "perfette" come in un manuale, ma riflettono come le persone parlano veramente, con pause, ripetizioni e errori comuni. Questo ti aiuta a capire l'italiano parlato e a rispondere in modo naturale. Inoltre, è ideale per il shadow speech (o shadowing in inglese), una tecnica efficace per migliorare l'intonazione e la fluidità: ascolti una frase, la ripeti immediatamente, imitando il tono e il ritmo. Così, impari a "sentire" la lingua e a parlare più fluido.
Grammatica e espressioni nel contesto
Analizziamo alcuni punti chiave dal dialogo:
- "I'm not exactly know what does he do": Un errore comune nella struttura del discorso diretto. La forma corretta sarebbe "I don't exactly know what he does". Questo mostra come spesso le persone confondono l'ordine delle parole nelle frasi subordinate, un punto da lavorare per migliorare la grammatica.
- "I was got... the diarrhea": Un uso improprio del passato continuo. La corretta è "I got diarrhea" o "I had diarrhea". Questo errore riflette la difficoltà nel usare i tempi verbali corretti, soprattutto quando si parla di eventi passati.
- "Couldn't you have just stayed?": Una domanda ipotetica nel passato, usata per esprimere sorpresa o dubbio. Questa struttura è utile per discutere di scelte passate e è spesso usata nel parlato quotidiano.
- "I feel like dying": Un'espressione idiomatica per dire che si sente molto male. Le espressioni come questa non si imparano con le regole, ma con il contesto, e sono essenziali per parlare come un madrelingua.
Trappole comuni nella pronuncia
Alcune parole e accenti nel video possono creare difficoltà:
- "Diarrhea": La pronuncia corretta è /ˌdaɪəˈriːə/, ma spesso viene pronunciata con errori, come "diarrea" (con l'accento sbagliato). Ascoltando il video, noterai come la persona la dice, e puoi usare il shadowspeak per imitare la pronuncia corretta.
- "Perth" e "Brisbane": Nomi di città australiani con pronunce specifiche. "Perth" si dice /pɜːθ/, mentre "Brisbane" /ˈbrɪzbən/. Questi nomi possono creare confusione per via delle lettere "th" e "ane", ma con la pratica del shadowing, imparerai a pronunciarli correttamente.
- Accento taiwanese: La persona parla con un accento non nativo, con delle modifiche nella pronuncia delle vocali (es. "friend" pronunciato come "fren" o "holidays" come "hollidays"). Questo ti aiuta a capire gli accenti stranieri, una abilità cruciale nella comunicazione internazionale.
Con questo video, non solo impari grammatica e vocabolo, ma anche a comunicare in situazioni reali. Usa la tecnica del shadowing ogni giorno, e noterai presto un miglioramento nella tua fluidità e nella comprensione!
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.
