63
platform all of these doors are for women only women only
64
and same with that side
65
so we cannot go here unless are you a woman not now not now what does
66
that mean tomorrow depending on my mood yeah
67
so this is a woman only coach we're not going to stand there we're going to stand here instead
68
and usually the proper etiquette when you're at a train station is to always stand to the side.
69
You stand to the side so that you can let the people that are coming out of the train walk right here.
70
So they can walk straight out and then you stand to the side here and you wait your turn.
71
That is just proper etiquette.
72
Can you guys describe this MRT station for me?
73
Describe it.
74
This is an MRT station.
75
The MRT station is very clean and modern.
76
The MRT station feels very empty.
77
So those are three simple sentences you can use to describe almost anything.
78
What it is, what it looks like, so describe it, and then how it feels.
79
So this is an MRT station.
80
It looks clean and modern, and it feels very empty.
81
Three sentences, very simple, and that will make you sound a lot more fluent in English with those three sentences.
82
So look around your room right now and give me three sentences.
83
You can just say it to yourself or you can write them in the comments.
84
How would you describe your surroundings right now?
85
So our train has just arrived and we are now going to board the train.
86
Since there is almost no one coming out of the train, we'll stand right in front of the door
87
and get on once these two doors open
88
so this is an underground subway station it is very deep underground and there are many escalators as you can see clearly
89
and the The feeling this gives me is vertigo.
90
I also feel like this is just really cool, modern, and clean.
91
And it honestly feels like I'm in a super advanced country, which I am, just seeing how far these escalators come down into the ground,
92
just to have public transit for people, which is very cool.
93
But outside of this station, nearby are the Petronas Twin Towers.
94
So how would you describe this subway station?
95
Two words to describe this station would be massive because it feels like there's multiple levels.
96
I can see one, two, and three, but I say three levels, but look at how far they go down and how far it goes up.
97
So it feels massive.
98
And I feel like during peak time, it'll be busy, but right now it's quiet.
99
Yeah.
100
During rush hour, it will be busy.
101
But now let's head up all these escalators
102
and go outside all right okay look at like look at how far this escalator goes this is like high
103
and this one on my left hand side is broken by the looks of it
104
and they're repairing it right now and this is our third escalator so
105
if you're at the bottom how many escalators do you have
106
to take to get up to the top from the very bottom four four escalators
107
and these escalators are long two of them are like really long right yeah yeah they're very long
108
so you're deep underground for sure
109
so to my right you can see the patronus twin towers they are very tall
110
and uh shiny very tall
111
and shiny unfortunately it's kind of hard to see the twin towers
112
but once we get closer we'll be able to see them both like side by side
113
but right now it looks like one building right yeah kind
114
of does we're like parallel to them right yeah almost yeah
115
and uh it just feels like
116
so cool like I don't know how else I would describe it just feels cool
117
and surreal to see like huge towering buildings like you can't really tell the scale on video
118
but these buildings these are huge buildings I don't know I
119
always find it really cool being in the city center being
120
surrounded by all the skyscrapers I think it's like surreal
121
that people like built this crazy let's get closer get a better view this is a self -serve convenience store
122
and you have to like scan your face to enter the shop
123
so i guess if you steal anything they'll charge you oh dude honestly these look super good yeah
124
that looks handmade you know yeah tutti frutti
125
that one's tutti frutti that's strawberry this one is red velvet
126
cheese dude oh my gosh dude they're tempting me oh have
127
you seen these that's the chicken drumstick ice cream yo i want
128
that you should get
129
that first thing you eat today it's just a chicken drumstick ice cream i see
130
that all the time on tiktok and i always think i want to try
131
that so bad is that just like a cob of corn i think you're right sweet corn
132
or grilled corn yo i want to try this chocolate moist
133
some of the stuff looks like homemade it's kind of yeah it's really cool
134
but what i do want is a water
135
so yeah this is a self -serve convenience store it is automated
136
and self -serve and it feels futuristic
137
and it's more convenient than a regular convenience store facts though i think i don't know
138
if we're gonna come back here but i really want to try one of these
139
but i haven't eaten anything today
140
and i don't want to have something sweet right off the bat now i'm going to pay by tapping okay
141
so we were walking and i was walking on this side
142
and i did not notice that there is razor wire like right here
143
and i was thinking if you're walking like
144
if you look right here that's literally in the path
145
so you could just be walking and then slice your arm open
146
and probably get infected i feel like that's not really the safest thing i've seen
147
but no definitely not i mean because of the rust it's not
148
that sharp anymore but still that's yeah
149
so this is razor wire it looks rusty and old
150
and it feels unsafe to have right along the sidewalk feels unsafe
151
but i don't make the rules so let's just stay away from
152
that okay so we've been walking for a few minutes now we're surrounded by these skyscrapers
153
and high -rise apartments
154
and here it looks like they're clearing out this old building
155
i believe it was a hotel before you can see all of this scrap metal inside these big metal containers
156
and these people are working once these are full a truck will come
157
and take this away
158
and dump it in the landfill the landfill that's just where you dump all the garbage from a city
159
but uh let's keep going i could just see the tip of the patronus tower we're almost there
160
and we almost have a good view of it
161
so just a little bit more and we'll be able to see it

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.
