She texted the wrong person!

My boss is driving me crazy!

She keeps giving me extra work and expects me to finish everything by Friday.

Does she think I have no life?

I can't wait for the weekend!

Emily, I believe this message was meant for someone else.

Oh my goodness!

Mrs. Parker, I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean to send that to you.

You didn't mean what you wrote, or you didn't mean to send it to me?

Well, both, actually.

I never should have said those things.

I acted on impulse.

So you don't think I'm giving you too much work?

I didn't mean it like that.

I really appreciate my job.

I was just having a stressful day, and I let my frustration get the better of me.

I see.

And what exactly did you mean by, does she think I have no life?

I...

I was exaggerating.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for being honest, Emily.

Next time, think before you hit send.

Absolutely.

I'll be much more careful from now on.

I hope you can forgive me.

I appreciate your apology.

Let's put this behind us and focus on getting the work done.

Thank you, Mrs. Parker.

I really appreciate your understanding.

117

You too.

118

What's up?

119

Hey, Rachel.

120

Are you doing anything this Saturday?

121

Not really.

122

What's up?

123

A few of us are going out for lunch, and I was wondering if you wanted to come along.

124

Sure!

125

What time are you thinking?

126

Around noon.

127

Does that work for you?

128

Yeah, that works for me.

129

Where are you guys going?

130

There's a new Mexican restaurant near the mall.

131

I've heard great things about it.

132

Oh, nice!

133

I'm in!

134

By the way, do you want me to pick you up?

135

No worries.

136

I can drive.

137

But thanks for offering.

138

Okay, cool.

139

After lunch, some people are going to see a movie.

140

Do you want to join us?

141

Hmm, I think I'll pass on the movie.

142

I've had a pretty busy week, and I'd rather head home and relax.

143

Totally get it.

144

You can always join us next time. For sure!

145

Oh, and what should I wear?

146

Is it a fancy restaurant?

147

Nah, nothing fancy.

148

Just wear whatever you're comfortable in.

149

Perfect!

150

Then it's a plan!

151

Awesome!

152

I'll text you the address later.

153

Great!

154

See you Saturday!

155

See you!

156

Have a good one!

157

You too!

158

The price was different at the checkout.

159

All right, your total comes to $65 .50.

160

Sorry, what?

161

I thought this jacket was $45.

162

It says $65 .50 here.

163

That's strange.

164

The price tag on the rack said $45.

165

Could you check that for me?

166

Sure.

167

Let me take a look.

168

You're right.

169

The tag says $45, but our system shows the regular price.

170

Well, that's not what I expected to pay.

171

I chose this jacket because it was on sale.

172

I understand.

173

Maybe the discount hasn't been updated in our system yet.

174

Let me call my manager.

175

Thanks for waiting.

176

My manager confirmed that the jacket is on sale for $45.

177

Oh, great!

178

I was worried I'd have to pay the higher price.

179

Sorry about the confusion.

180

I'll correct the price now.

181

No problem.

182

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being charged extra.

183

Absolutely.

184

Your new total is $45.

185

Wonderful!

186

Can I pay by card? Of course.

187

You can tap your card right here.

188

Perfect.

189

Thanks for sorting that out.

190

You're welcome.

191

Have a great day.

192

You too.

193

They charged me for something I never ordered.

194

Here you go, sir.

195

That's $68 .40 altogether.

196

Sorry, but I don't think this is right.

197

Could you double -check the bill? Of course.

198

What's the problem?

199

You've charged me for a seafood pasta, but I didn't order that.

200

Let me take a look.

201

You're right.

202

There must be a mistake.

203

I thought so.

204

I never order seafood.

205

I'm sorry about that.

206

I'll get this corrected right away.

207

Thanks.

208

I just want to make sure I'm paying for what I actually ordered.

209

Let me check the order in our system.

210

Oh, I see what happened.

211

The seafood pasta was ordered at table 12, but it was accidentally added to your bill.

212

Well, that explains it.

213

I'm sorry.

214

It looks like there was a mix -up between the tables.

215

I'll remove the extra charge right away.

216

Your new total is $42 .50.

217

Great!

218

Thanks for sorting that out.

219

No problem.

220

Sorry for the confusion.

221

It's alright.

222

I have nothing to wear I have no idea what to wear to Jessica's birthday party tonight

223

Well, what kind of party is it?

224

Is it casual or fancy?

225

That's the problem them.

226

She said we could dress however we wanted.

227

Now I don't know what that means.

228

Okay, let's start with something casual.

229

How about these jeans and this white t -shirt?

230

You could wear them with these cute sneakers.

231

Hmm, I don't know.

232

I don't want to look like I'm going grocery shopping.

233

Fair enough.

234

Let's try something else.

235

What about this denim skirt?

236

Try it with your pink blouse.

237

Here it is.

238

What do you think?

239

Turn around.

240

Let me see.

241

Oh, that looks really cute.

242

It's casual, but still looks nice.

243

But what shoes should I wear with it?

244

Those black ankle boots would look great.

245

No, they're not very comfortable.

246

247

248

252

253

Isn't it a little too elegant?

254

What if everyone shows up in jeans?

255

Fine.

256

Let's try something completely different.

257

What about this black top and these wide -leg trousers?

258

Oh, now we're talking!

259

That outfit looks modern and a little more sophisticated.

260

You really think so?

261

Absolutely!

262

Add your gold earrings and that little black handbag.

263

And these heels would also look perfect.

264

But I can barely walk in them.

265

Then wear your flats.

266

Nobody's going to inspect your shoes.

267

268

La grammatica di questo video

Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:

Struttura	Nel video
Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso	has been cancelled · I've noticed · Have you received
Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa	was meant · was cancelled · has been cancelled
Past continuous was/were + -ing — un’azione in corso in un momento del passato	was just having · was exaggerating · were doing
Consigli con “should” should + verbo — dire che cosa è meglio fare	should have · should I wear

Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione

Chi parla usa 65 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come I'm, I'll, don't. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.

I suoni “sh” e “zh”: casual /ˈkæʒ(u)əl/, trash /tɹæʃ/, shoe /ˈʃu/, confusion /kənˈfjuːʒən/, frustration /fɹʌsˈtɹeɪ.ʃən/
Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: successfully /səkˈsɛs.fə.li/, accidentally /ˌæk.sɪˈdɛnt(ə)li/, unfortunate /ʌnˈfɔː.t͡ʃə.nɪt/, altogether /ɔl.tuˈɡɛð.ɚ/, apology /əˈpɑ.lə.d͡ʒi/

I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:

/h/ — va soffiata, non è muta: heel /hil/, hallway /ˈhɔlˌweɪ/, handbag /ˈhændˌbæɡ/
Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: jacket /ˈd͡ʒæk.ɪt/, seafood /ˈsiːfuːd/, alright /ɔlˈɹaɪt/, trash /tɹæʃ/, outfit /ˈaʊtfɪt/
/æ/ — più aperta della “e”: fancy /ˈfæn.si/, jacket /ˈd͡ʒæk.ɪt/, casual /ˈkæʒ(u)əl/, cancel /ˈkæn.sl̩/, trash /tɹæʃ/

Come esercitarsi con questo video

Ascolta tutto il video una volta senza parlare e annota le parole che non conosci.
Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come fancy, jacket, casual.

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.
