I'm Emily.

Hello, Emily.

Hi everyone.

It's great to be here today.

How are you, Emily?

I'm doing great, Paul.

I'm a little hungry, though.

Hungry?

That is perfect for our topic today.

Yes, it is.

Today we are going to talk about something delicious.

We are talking about food.

Hmm, my favorite topic.

We will talk about breakfast, lunch, dinner, and our favorite foods.

It will be fun.

It will.

But first, a small message for you, our wonderful listeners.

Please subscribe to our channel, give this episode a like, and share it with your friends and family.

It helps us a lot.

Yes, please do.

Your support is amazing.

Okay, Emily, you are hungry.

Let's start with the first meal of the day, breakfast.

Great idea.

Yeah!

Breakfast is so important.

So, Paul, what do you eat for breakfast?

Hmm… for breakfast… I like to have something simple.

I usually have bread with cheese.

Oh, bread and cheese.

That's nice.

Do you drink anything?

Yes, of course.

I drink coffee.

Black coffee.

No sugar.

Wow, black coffee.

Strong.

I like coffee too, but with milk and a little sugar.

Yes, I need the strong coffee in the morning.

What about you, Emily?

What do you eat for breakfast?

I like to have eggs, scrambled eggs, and toast.

Ah, eggs are a great breakfast.

Very healthy.

Do you have juice?

Yes, I love orange juice.

Fresh orange juice is the best.

I agree.

Orange juice is delicious.

Sometimes on the weekend I have a big breakfast.

Ooh, a big weekend breakfast?

What do you eat?

I eat pancakes with fruit, like bananas or strawberries.

Mmm, pancakes.

That sounds so good.

I love pancakes too, with a little honey.

Yes, honey is perfect with pancakes. So good.

So, my breakfast is bread, cheese, and coffee.

Your breakfast is eggs, toast, and orange juice.

Exactly.

And sometimes if I am in a hurry, I just eat a banana or an apple.

A piece of fruit is a good fast breakfast.

That's a very healthy choice.

Yes, fruit is always a good idea.

Okay, so after breakfast, a few hours later, it's time for lunch.

Lunch, yes, in the middle of the day.

Are you a big lunch person, Emily?

Yes, I am.

I get very hungry around 1 p.m.

Lunch is my main meal.

Mine, too.

I think for many people, lunch is the big meal of the day.

So, tell me, what is a typical lunch for you?

Well, I like to have rice and beans.

It's a classic.

Oh, rice and beans are fantastic.

Very popular.

What do you eat with the rice and beans?

I usually have some chicken, grilled chicken, and a big salad.

A salad.

That's great.

What is in your salad?

I like simple salads.

Lettuce, tomato, and cucumber.

With a little olive oil.

Mmm, that sounds very healthy and very delicious.

A perfect lunch.

Thank you.

What about you, Paul?

What do you eat for lunch?

I also like chicken, but sometimes I have fish.

I love grilled fish with lemon.

Oh, fish is a great choice.

Very good for you.

Yes, it is.

And I also eat a lot of vegetables.

Carrots, broccoli.

100

I love vegetables.

101

Me too.

102

Vegetables are so important.

103

They are full of vitamins.

104

Exactly.

105

My mother always said, eat your vegetables.

106

My mother too.

107

It's good advice.

108

So, for lunch, we have chicken or fish, with rice, beans, and a lot of salad and vegetables.

109

That's a great summary.

110

A very balanced meal.

111

It gives you energy for the afternoon.

112

Yes, it does.

113

Okay, the day continues.

114

It's the evening now.

115

Time for dinner.

116

Dinner time.

117

Is your dinner big or small, Emily?

118

My dinner is usually small, lighter than my lunch.

119

I see.

120

That's a good idea.

121

What do you like to eat for dinner?

122

I often have soup.

123

A vegetable soup is warm and nice in the evening.

124

Soup is a wonderful dinner, especially when it's a little cold.

125

What kind of vegetables are in your soup.

126

Carrots, potatoes, celery, many different kinds.

127

It's very easy to make.

128

That sounds lovely.

129

I like soup too.

130

Tomato soup is my favorite.

131

I love tomato soup.

132

With a piece of bread, it's perfect.

133

Yes, exactly.

134

Sometimes for dinner, I have pasta.

135

Oh, pasta.

136

Everyone loves pasta.

137

What kind of pasta do you like?

138

I like spaghetti with tomato sauce, a simple classic dish.

139

You can't go wrong with spaghetti.

140

It's always good.

141

Do you put cheese on it? Of course.

142

Lots of cheese.

143

It makes it extra delicious.

144

I agree.

145

Cheese makes everything better. So true.

146

What about on Friday nights?

147

Do you cook dinner on Fridays?

148

Hmm, good question.

149

On Fridays, I am often tired from the week, so sometimes I order pizza.

150

Aha!

151

Pizza night!

152

I love pizza night.

153

What is your favorite pizza topping?

154

I like a simple pizza.

155

Cheese and tomato.

156

A margarita pizza.

157

A classic choice.

158

Very good.

159

I'm a little different.

160

I like pepperoni on my pizza.

161

Pepperoni is very popular.

162

I understand.

163

Pizza is a great food for sharing with friends.

164

It is.

165

It's a fun food.

166

Okay, so we have breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

167

But what about the time between the meals?

168

Ah, you mean snacks.

169

Yes, snacks.

170

When you are a little hungry, but it's not time for a full meal.

171

Do you eat snacks, Emily?

172

I do.

173

I try to have healthy snacks.

174

I usually have a fruit, like an apple, or maybe some yogurt.

175

An apple is a perfect snack.

176

Yogurt is great too.

177

Very good choices.

178

Thank you.

179

What about you?

180

What are your go-to snacks?

181

I also like fruit.

182

A banana is very easy to eat.

183

But sometimes I want something sweet.

184

Me too.

185

What do you eat?

186

I sometimes have a cookie or two.

187

A cookie!

188

I love cookies.

189

Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite.

190

Yes, chocolate chip.

191

The best kind.

192

But just one or two.

193

It's a treat.

194

Yes, a treat.

195

Not every day.

196

It's important to have a balance.

197

Healthy food and sometimes a small treat.

198

I agree completely.

199

Balance is key.

200

So we have healthy foods, like fruits and vegetables.

201

What are some of your favorite fruits?

202

Mmm, I love strawberries.

203

They are red and sweet.

204

I also love watermelon in the summer.

205

It's so refreshing.

206

Oh, watermelon is amazing on a hot day. So juicy.

207

I am a big fan of mango.

208

Mango is delicious.

209

A very tropical fruit. So sweet.

210

It is.

211

And for vegetables, I really like broccoli.

212

I know some people don't like it, but I think it's great.

213

I am with you, Paul.

214

Well, I like broccoli too.

215

And I love carrots.

216

They are sweet and crunchy.

217

Carrots are great.

218

Good for your eyes, they say.

219

Yes, that's what they say.

220

Okay, we talked about food.

221

Now let's talk about drinks.

222

An important part of any meal.

223

We mentioned coffee and juice for breakfast.

224

What do you drink during the day?

225

I drink a lot of water.

226

It's so important to drink water.

227

Yes, water is number one.

228

I always have a bottle of water with me.

229

It's so healthy.

230

It is.

231

What about other drinks?

232

Do you like tea?

233

I do.

234

Sometimes in the afternoon, I have a cup of green tea.

235

It's very calming.

236

Tea is very nice.

237

I like herbal tea in the evening before I go to sleep, like chamomile tea.

238

Oh, that's very relaxing.

239

What about soda, like cola or lemonade?

240

I drink soda sometimes, maybe at a party or with a pizza, but not every day.

241

It has a lot of sugar.

242

That's a good point.

243

It's a treat, like cookies or cake.

244

It's nice sometimes, but water is better for every day.

245

Exactly.

246

Okay, Paul, now for a big question.

247

Are you ready?

248

I think so.

249

What is it?

250

What is your all-time favorite food in the whole world?

251

Wow, that is a big question.

252

My favorite food...

253

Hmm, there are so many good foods.

254

I know.

255

It's hard to choose just one.

256

Okay, I think...

257

I think my favorite food is my mom's lasagna.

258

Oh, that's so sweet.

259

Homemade food is always the best.

260

It is.

261

Her lasagna is just...wow.

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.
