I'm Mark.

How are you today, Emily?

I am wonderful today, thank you.
8
I was looking at old photos last night – photos from a A vacation.
9
A beautiful beach.
10
White sand, blue water.
11
Wow, that sounds amazing.
12
Where did you go?
13
I went to a small island.
14
Very quiet, very peaceful.
15
I sat on the beach and read a book.
16
It was perfect.
17
That is my dream vacation.

Sun, beach and a good book.
19
It was wonderful.
20
And you, Mark?
21
How are you today?
22
I am good, thank you.
23
But now I am dreaming about beaches and vacation.
24
I really want a vacation.
25
Well, that is perfect because today our topic is vacation.
26
Vacation!
27
I love this topic already.
28
Yes, and we are going to practice a very useful tense.

49
Okay, now let's get started.
50
First, let's do a quick review.
51
The present perfect.
52
We use it to talk about experiences in our life.
53
Not yesterday, not last week, but in our whole life.
54
We say have or has plus the past participle.
55
Like, I have visited sushi.
56
In my life, yes, I ate sushi.
57
Exactly.
58
You don't say when, you just say, yes, I have this experience, or no, I don't have this experience.
59
And for questions, we say, have you ever?
60
Yes, have you ever means at any time in your whole life.
61
Have you ever eaten sushi?
62
Have you ever seen snow?
63
I remember now.
64
It is like asking about someone's life story.
65
That's right.
66
And today, we are asking about vacation.
67
First, a new word, vacation.
68
V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N.
69
Vacation.
70
Vacation.
71
I know this word.
72
It is when you stop working and go somewhere fun.
73
Yes, a vacation is a break from work, a time to rest, travel, and enjoy.
74
Some people say holiday.
75
Same meaning.
76
Vacation, holiday.
77
I need both.
78
Now, let me ask you some questions, and you answer with the present perfect.
79
Ready?
80
Ready.
81
Have you ever been to the beach?
82
Yes, I have been to the beach.
83
I love the beach.
84
Very good.
85
I have been to the beach.
86
Perfect, present perfect.
87
Have you ever stayed in a hotel?
88
Hmm, stayed.
89
Yes, I have stayed in a hotel two times.
90
Stayed.
91
That is the past participle of stay, regular verb.
92
Stay, stayed, stayed.
93
Very good.
94
Now, have you ever flown on a plane flown what is flown fly flew flown f-l-o-w-n flown
95
that is the past participle of fly fly is a regular fly flew flown Fly, flew, flown.
96
Okay.
97
Have I ever flown on a plane?
98
Yes, I have flown on a plane.
99
One time.
100
I was very nervous.
101
Many people are nervous the first time.
102
You're brave, Mark.
103
Have you ever visited another country?
104
Yes, I have visited one other country, Japan.
105
Japan!
106
That is wonderful!
107
What did you do there?
108
I visited Tokyo.
109
I ate so much food.
110
Sushi, ramen, tempura.
111
Everything was delicious.
112
See what you did, Mark?
113
You used present perfect, I have visited Japan, and then you used simple past,
114
I ate sushi, because the past tense tells the story with details.
115
Oh, I see.
116
Present perfect is for the big answer, yes or no. No. Past tense is for the story.
117
What happened?
118
That's exactly right.
119
I have visited Japan.
120
The experience.
121
I ate ramen and it was amazing.
122
The story.
123
Two different jobs, two different tenses.
124
Two different jobs.
125
I like that way of thinking.
126
Now your turn.
127
Ask me some questions.
128
Use have you ever.
129
Okay.
130
Have you ever been to another country?
131

I have been to three countries.
133
Three?
134
Have you ever tried food from another country?
135
Yes, I have tried Italian food, Korean food, and Thai food.
136
I love Thai food the most.
137
Have you ever… um…swum in the ocean?
138

139
S-W-U-M.
140
That is the past participle of swim.
141
Swim, swam, swum.
142
Yes, I have swum in the ocean.
143
It was beautiful, but a little scary.
144
Scary?
145
Why?
146
The water was very deep.
147
I couldn't see the bottom.
148
I understand.
149
The ocean is big and mysterious.
150
One more question for me.
151
Go ahead.
152
Have you ever lost your passport?
153
Passport.
154
P-A-S-S-P-O-R-T.
155
Passport.
156
A passport is the small book with your photo.
157
You need it to travel to other countries.
158
And no, I have never lost my passport.
159
That would be very scary.
160
I have never lost mine either, but I'm always worried about it.
161
That's normal.
162
Your passport is very important.
163
Now, I want to teach you something new.
164
Two words that look similar but are different.
165
Been to and gone to.
166
Been to and gone to.
167
What is the difference?
168
Listen carefully.
169
I have been to Paris.
170
This means I visited Paris and I came back.
171
I'm here now.
172
I'm not in Paris.
173
Been to means went and came back.
174
Yes.
175
Now listen to this.
176
She has gone to Paris.
177
This means she went to Paris and she is still there.
178
She isn't here.
179
Oh.
180
Gone to means she left.
181
She is there now.
182
She hasn't come back back exactly been to visited

198
Suitcase.
199

200
Your friend calls you and asks, have you packed your suitcase yet? Yet.
201
What does yet mean here?
202
Yet means until now.
203
Is it done or not done?
204
We use yet in questions and in negative sentences, at the end.
205
So, have you packed yet means is your suitcase ready or not ready?
206
Exactly.
207
And if the answer is no, no, I haven't packed yet.

264
I haven't bought a souvenir yet.

287
And I have slept in a very small hotel room.
288
The bed was tiny, but it was clean and cozy.
289
You used so many present perfect sentences, Mark, all about your experiences.
290

291
But I have never been to Europe, I have never flown across the ocean, and I haven't visited my friend in Canada yet.

Perché praticare il parlare con questo video?
Praticare la conversazione in inglese attraverso questo video offre numerosi vantaggi. In primo luogo, consente di esplorare un argomento interessante come le vacanze, il che rende l'apprendimento più coinvolgente. Inoltre, il formato dialogico tra Emily e Mark rende facile seguire e imitare le loro espressioni naturali. Questa forma di apprendimento è particolarmente utile per chi desidera migliorare la propria fluidità e sicurezza nella lingua, pratica fondamentale per chi usa siti di shadowing e desidera impegnarsi in shadow speak efficacemente.
Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto
Nel video, alcune strutture grammaticali chiave vengono utilizzate per introdurre il tempo presente perfetto. Ecco alcune delle frasi significative che potresti voler ripetere e praticare:
- Have you ever been to…? - Questa struttura è fondamentale per chiedere esperienze di vita, permette di aprire conversazioni interessanti.
- I have visited. - Usato per condividere esperienze, è una delle forme principali del presente perfetto che gli studenti dovrebbero padroneggiare.
- Have you ever flown on a plane? - Un'ottima domanda per stimolare conversazioni sui viaggi e le avventure personali.
Praticare queste frasi all'interno di situazioni reali, come nello shadow speech, può aiutarti a sentirti più a tuo agio nell'usarle.
Trappole comuni di pronuncia
Durante il video, ci sono alcune parole e frasi che possono risultare difficili da pronunciare per chi sta imparando l'inglese. Ecco alcune delle trappole più comuni che gli studenti dovrebbero tenere a mente:
- Vacation - Assicurati di pronunciare correttamente la 'v' iniziale e la 'a' accentata per evitare confusione con la parola 'vacation' in altre lingue.
- Beach - Il suono 'ea' può essere difficile; pratica la distinzione tra 'beach' e 'bitch' per evitare malintesi.
- Hotel - Fai attenzione all'accento sulla seconda sillaba; spesso gli studenti tendono a enfatizzare la prima.
Utilizzando questi spunti, puoi migliorare la tua pronuncia in modo significativo. Prova a ripetere dopo i relatori nel video; questo metodo è parte fondamentale della pratica di conversazione in inglese e può essere altamente efficace.
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.
