Creazione lezione...
1
here in the united states this is a normal sized cup of soda
2
and if i wanted to i could drink all of it
3
and fill it up again and again
4
and again all for free without paying any more money because i already paid for the cup
5
that was a lot of soda today we are going to look at five different things
6
that are very normal here in the United States, but may be very weird to you.
7
But before we go, let me go get another refill.
8
These are called fountain drinks, and all you have to do to get one of these
9
is order one on this screen here in the drinks section you just pick from here
10
which drink you would like and then pay three dollars
11
and 29 cents and then you pick up your cup from over there and then come over here
12
to fill up your drink you can press any of these and that soda will come out so i got pepsi
13
and Pepsi comes out when you click that button.
14
It's crazy because you can literally get as much soda as you want.
15
This may be one of the reasons that America is so unhealthy.
16
They have fountain drinks here,
17
iced tea right here, lids and straws right here as well as some sauces and napkins and silverware like knives.
18
The next place that we are going is just across the street here at a place called Chick -fil -A.
19
We were at Taco Bell right here
20
and we just have to cross the street so
21
that I can show you the next thing
22
that Americans do all the time
23
that may be kind of weird to you
24
guys oh wait I
25
forgot my car I forgot my car even though it's just
26
across the street I'm still gonna take my car this is something that Americans are known for,
27
we drive our cars everywhere.
28
Even if we're just going across the street, a lot of the time we will take our car instead of walking.
29
Yeah.
30
Now that I'm already in my car, I'm just going to go through the drive -thru to order instead of going inside.
31
Hello.
32
Hello, so welcome to Philly.
33
Can I get a name for the order?
34
Yeah, Jaden.
35
What would you like today, Jaden?
36
Can I just get a cup of water?
37
Yeah, of course.
38
Would you like that small, medium, or large?
39
Medium.
40
Would that be all for today?
41
That's it.
42
You can go.
43
Thank you.
44
My pleasure.
45
I love this restaurant because instead of saying you're welcome when you say thank you, they always say my pleasure.
46
My pleasure.
47
No matter what.
48
But that's not what I wanted to show you guys.
49
Once I get my water then you will see what I wanted to show you.
50
Hey.
51
How are you today?
52
Good how about you?
53
You just got the water?
54
Yeah.
55
Thank you so much.
56
You too.
57
My pleasure.
58
All right.
59
Are you guys ready to see?
60
So this is the water that Chick -fil -a just gave me.
61
I'm going to take the lid off
62
and pour it in to this glass now
63
look how much of this water is ice do you see
64
that this is all ice and a lot of it melted too
65
because I spent a little bit setting up the camera and getting this shot so much ice
66
and this is not even as much as they usually do.
67
A lot of the time all of this would be ice
68
and there would just be a little bit of water in the ice.
69
At most restaurants here they will ask would you like ice with your water?
70
What they should say is would you like water with your ice because they give you a lot of ice.
71
Americans love their ice.
72
It's cold and refreshing.
73
If you guys ever come to the United States, go to Chick -fil -A.
74
They are so nice.
75
They gave me this water, a straw, and all of these napkins all for free.
76
Out of any chain restaurant here in the united states i
77
would say chick -fil -a has the highest percentage of really really nice employees chick -fil -a gets a jayden 10.
78
we just went through the chick -fil -a drive -through it's time to go to another drive -through
79
that is very unique let's go This car is not really that fast.
80
We made it.
81
It's this place behind me.
82
It's a pharmacy.
83
So pharmacies are the kind of places where you pick up medicine.
84
So your doctor will tell you, go to this pharmacy to get your medicine that I prescribed for you,
85
that I told you to get and you come here to pick up your medicine.
86
They also have a lot of medicine over the counter so you don't need a prescription to get some of this medicine.
87
You can just go in and browse and look around to see what they have and grab what you want.
88
But the majority of people that come here probably come to get their prescriptions.
89
Now you may be thinking, okay so you get your medicine by just going inside and picking it up.
90
Hmm, you can do that.
91
Or look at that drive -thru pharmacy.
92
Yes, that is right.
93
You can also go through a drive -thru to get your medicine.
94
You just come around here to the back side of the building to pick up your prescription
95
so what does that look like i can't show you
96
because i don't have a prescription to get
97
but it would look a little something like this hello i'm
98
here to pick up some medicine all right i'll just need
99
to see your id yes sure here's my id okay let me just go in the back
100
and get it i'll be just one minute
101
okay here's your medicine and your id there you go have a good day thank you
102
so much you have a good day too it's not just pharmacies
103
that do this like this cvs here but we also have other things like banks.
104
You can go and drive through a bank at an ATM to get your money out of the bank.
105
All you do is drive through
106
and then once you get to the ATM you give it your debit card
107
and then tell it how much money you want and then it will give you all of that money.
108
It's very convenient.
109
You don't have to talk to anyone or go even inside a building.
110
You can do it all from your car.
111
And we have drive -through car washes.
112
There are literally places where you can have your car driven through a tunnel with a bunch of people cleaning it.
113
Or there's also a kind where a machine can clean it
114
there are two different kinds one for the inside of the car
115
and one for the outside of the car we have
116
so many drive -throughs it's crazy i think the reason
117
that we have all of these drive -throughs is
118
because the united states is all about convenience people here love things
119
that make their life easier and so
120
if you can go in a drive -through instead of going in the actual building
121
and it saves you some time then you might as well do it.
122
Oh look, there's our next stop.
123
Our next stop is this building right here.
124
It's at a public park right here.
125
They currently have fences up right now because they are doing some work over here at the playgrounds.
126
But the reason that I brought you here is because we are going to go into this building which is the restroom.
127
So this is the men's restroom and in order to go in I just have to pay a little bit of money.
128
Nope just kidding.
129
That is something that a lot of people find strange about America is
130
that here in the United States you don't have to pay in order to public bathrooms.
131
It opens right up.
132
This place is completely free.
133
In a lot of places like Europe and other places I've been, you have to pay like a quarter or something like
134
that in order to use their bathroom
135
but not here public restrooms are all over the united states at parks at rest stops
136
and even some restaurants will allow you to use their bathrooms without even buying any food
137
and look this place is pretty nice you have the sinks
138
right here there are two sinks as well as a trash can
139
which has no trash bag in it two mirrors these urinals this
140
which sprays stuff into the air that is supposed to smell good
141
but a lot of the time it just smells like chemicals there's also no one in this bathroom
142
so we can go wherever we want.
143
I will show you guys the stall here.
144
Wait.
145
Maddox?
146
Okay.
147
We are going to wait.
148
Let's wait outside for Maddox.
149
I did not know there was a guy in there.
150
Maddox why did you open the door on me I'm sorry I am
151
so sorry I did not know you were in there where
152
did you think I was you haven't been in this entire
153
video where did you come from the bathroom I also heard your tour Jaden
154
and it wasn't that good wait my tour of the bathroom yeah
155
but I showed them
156
so much I thought it was good no no no I'll take you guys for a real tour I'm Mattis
157
and this is
158
my bathroom
159
they
160
have these mirrors which are shiny like diamonds from 20 ,000 feet below the ground.
161
They have the sinks with water fresh straight from mountain springs.
162
mmm refreshing they have this air freshener with the freshness
163
like the fluff on the mane of a unicorn and with that I'll leave you the end of my tour
164
I'm gonna go back in here back to my peace and quiet.
165
I'll see you guys later.
166
I am now at my house on the front porch
167
and I'm going to be doing the fifth thing that Americans do often that you may not expect.
168
I'm going to be using my phone to order food.
169
So all I do is I go to this app called DoorDash
170
and then I'm going to search Lay's chips because I want Lay's chips.
171
I can pick where I want to get these from
172
if I want to get them from Costco Wegmans or 7 -eleven
173
and I'm going to do 7 -eleven these ones are the best salt and vinegar add to cart
174
and we are ready to place our order look at all of this
175
so the subtotal is $2 .79 But then we have a bag fee of $0 .05,
176
a delivery fee of $2 .99, a service fee of $3 .54, and tax of $0 .03.
177
So the whole thing is $9 .40 before the tip.
178
And then we tip $2, and the whole thing is $11 .40 sense guys i don't do this often
179
but i'm gonna do it for the video pay now now
180
that my order is placed we just wait out here until
181
the delivery driver comes with my food oh look he sent a picture right here with my bag.
182
Wow this bag right here will be delivered right to my house.
183
I can't wait.
184
It says that our delivery driver's name is Shang Chang.
185
Shang Chang where are you?
186
I need my potato chips.
187
Please hurry Shang Chang wherever you are i need my chips
188
what am i going to do without them he's close it shows me exactly where he is thank you
189
so much i appreciate it have a great day thank you we got them thank you shang chang
190
and look this is the exact same print of the photo that we saw earlier that Shang Chang sent me.
191
I am so glad I tipped him.
192
He deserves all $11 that these chips cost.
193
Although he'll probably only get like half of the money.
194
It's time for the moment we have all been waiting for.
195
The unboxing.
196
here they are salt and vinegar are $11 chips mostly filled with air so good it's crazy
197
that shang chang delivered me just these chips it probably took him like 20
198
or 30 minutes just to bring these chips to me
199
ordering food is really common here ordering just one little thing isn't super common
200
but it does happen i used to be a delivery driver for door dash just like shang chang
201
and i sometimes would be door dashing at like 1am
202
and I would bring someone like a pack of gummy worms at 1 in the morning and that's it.
203
That's all they would get.
204
They would pay like $11 just to get gummy worms at 1 in the morning.
205
It's so funny.
206
Not everyone does that but it does happen.
207
But just like not everyone orders one thing from DoorDash all the time.
208
Not everyone does all of these things that I mentioned.
209
They're just certain things that are more common here in the U .S like infinite fountain drinks.
210
Not everyone will get an infinite fountain drink and chug a ton of soda, but some people do so
211
which ones of these do i do starting with the soda honestly i don't really drink
212
that much soda i don't really like it
213
so i used to drink a lot of soda
214
but now i'll only drink it if it's made with real sugar
215
because they use a lot of ingredients that are really bad for you
216
and i don't want any of that and
217
so i don't really drink much soda next is getting a ton of ice in your water again that's something
218
that i'm not a big fan of i will take ice
219
if it's a really hot day out
220
but a lot of the time i'll tell them light ice
221
which is just a little bit of ice
222
but the drive -throughs yes i go through the drive -throughs i don't use drive -through car washes all
223
that much but i have used drive -through atms to get money
224
and drive -through pharmacies when i have a prescription to pick up and public restrooms i mean everyone uses public restrooms here
225
as for ordering food i've maybe only done it like three times i just remembered the best time
226
that i ever ordered food from doordash is
227
when i got like 50 pounds of bananas that was good i did
228
that with my friends a different time that i ordered food was
229
when i was at the beach and me
230
and my friends really wanted a pizza
231
and it was only like $20 to have a pizza delivered through DoorDash so I used it then too.
232
Let me know which ones of these you would use if you had in your country.
233
This was not worth $11.

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.
