Shadowing Practice: 10 Things Declan Rice Can’t Live Without - Learn English Speaking with Video

Should I open it?

Yeah.

This ain't good.

I don't know why I've even got this.

It's like my mum's purple.

Look how bad that is, airbrush.

Oh, but this ain't recorded, is it?

Is this recorded?

What's up, GQ?

I'm Declan Rice, and these are my 10 essential items.

Football boots, something I can't live without, can't do my job without, and these boots here are my favorite boots of all time.

Old school Predators Accelerators worn by the famous David Beckham.

I can't describe when I look at this boot what you feel like.

They don't make football boots like this anymore.

Growing up, these were the boots that were around.

These are what my brothers used to wear.

And as I've got older, they become harder and harder to get.

So they have to make remakes.

These are actually the originals.

But at the moment, I just wear these in training.

I want to keep them fresh.

They're in good condition.

So they're really hard to get now and expensive. So yeah.

What's the biggest influence in football that you've ever had?

Of course Beckham's won, being who he is, massive idol for this country.

What he's done for England, the caps he got, what he achieved in his career.

He's an icon.

Also, one of my favourites growing up was John Terry.

I always wanted to do what he'd done on a football pitch.

I tried to replicate him and now I've got a good relationship with him off the pitch.

It's pretty surreal because of what he'd done for Chelsea and what he'd done for England as well.

My next essential item, and these are essential, are my favourite sweets.

Squashes.

As soon as we finish this, these are getting opened and I'm eating them.

They just taste so good and just a big lover for sweets to be honest with you.

You can see my face talking about sweets.

It's just a big craving of mine.

I won't eat these every day, so when I do have them, it's like a little treat to me.

Before games, there's actually sweets around the changing room you can have.

Sometimes I'll pick up a handful of them and we'll have some before the game.

I've got a toothache.

That's what I have got at the minute.

I loved Skittles as a kid.

And then as I got older, they started to bring out more and more flavors, like a sour packet.

But when you go to America, there's like this purple packet you can get as well, which is just, they're unbelievable.

I'll tell you what you've got to try and do for people watching.

You've got to put a load in your mouth at once, chew them all together, and then you get like a little ball of Skittles and it tastes so good.

I sound like an experienced Skittle eater.

My next essential, my hat.

Obviously, this is one of many.

With this hat, I just like the look of it.

I like the print of it at the front

and black as well

which goes with everything since i've kind of grown my hair

long i've been wearing my hats backwards all the time you know i just prefer

that look at the minute is it ever under any circumstance

acceptable to wear a hard side with no i don't think it would fit on my head side

it wouldn't fit look imagine walking out like that that's impossible even just to feel a bit like

nah i could never do that ever if i wore a hat out like

that i'd expect one of my friends to just

tap it off me or something just just keep it back to front

and keep it simple that's how i do it

my next essential item is my phone um something i can't live without even though it can be annoying

that i'm always on it it's just you know my life

social media business work it's how my family contact me my friends contact me you know

if i didn't have my phone i yeah i don't know

what i'll do to be honest with you what's your screen

time it's bad it is bad i don't want to go into that because I've been getting havoc.

It's actually funny, it's a funny story

because at football we all sit there around the table we go what's your screen time, what's your screen time and we sit there and work it out

and even one of the boys last year had to delete Instagram because his screen time on Instagram was so bad.

But yeah my screen time is bad.

I've been collecting watches for years now, it's a big hobby of mine, a big passion.

I've got some some funky watches to be fair whether they're rose gold, gold, steel, kind of mix and match it I don't specifically match a colour with an outfit.

If I like the watch, I'll just wear the watch.

Something I can't live without for sure.

Obviously with what I'm doing as a profession, I need to dip into it every time after training, after games, and obviously whilst I'm at home as well

so i need this i need this on me every day what are you carrying inside oh no

so open it yeah this ain't good i don't know why

i've even got this it's like my mum's purple look how bad

that is airbrush oh but this ain't recorded is it is this recorded

which will be the one item It would have to be my aftershave.

It would have to be.

It's so nice, such a nice smell and I'm a big fan of aftershave

so I feel like this is an essential item in my wash bag because of course you want to smell good.

What's your blooming routine before going to a football match?

I used to do my hair

and everything in the hotel before we'd travelled to a match and then one of the games last season, at the start of the season, I'd left my hair because I started to wear a hat a little bit more.

So I started to do my hair at games and then

It's kind of been like a little bit of a ritual for me now, just to do it in the singing, in the changing room.

So for me, I always get to the stadium, do what I need to do, and then about 20 minutes before I go out, I'll go in and do my hair.

PlayStation controller.

Of course, FIFA, that's the main one.

That gets really competitive.

Ultimate Team's my main one.

I like to go on there, I like to put some money into it.

Just the excitement of opening packs, opening players, building your team.

It's exciting, you know, and you get to play against other players' teams the beauty of being a footballer, you get your own player card, which is like 99 rated and everything.

So when you're coming up against someone else, they know it's you playing.

100

So if you lose sometimes and you rage quit, it's not good because you'll get a message like, I've just beat you.

101

But yeah, the ultimate team's the main one for me when I play FIFA.

102

The best player at West Ham is Jared Bowen by far.

103

He plays every weekend, thing called Weekend League.

104

He's so good.

105

The worst, I'm going to have to say Mikel Antonio.

106

He thinks he's good but I've beat him a couple times, he's really competitive, a lot of talk but I'm gonna have to say he's the worst.

107

I'm a massive trainer collector.

108

I recently got a pair of the Virgil Ablaher Nike Air Forces Louis Vuitton collab.

109

I've not worn them yet.

110

I don't think I'm gonna ever wear them to be honest with you.

111

They're in a nice box, you know, they're so special obviously because he passed away

112

so I don't think I'm gonna wear them at at all i think i'm going to keep them fresh

113

and i think that'd be my only pair

114

that i will never wear what's your style tips on the

115

trainers like these you couldn't wear these with a suit in my opinion nice pair of trousers

116

or you know a nice track suit you can wear these with i feel like with more chunkier trainers

117

which i've more kind of gotten into over the last one

118

or two years i i like to wear them with like a baggy oversized um jean just

119

because they sit nicer on top of the shoe.

120

I feel like with these you couldn't really wear skinny jeans with them.

121

It would just look too, I can't explain it, it just wouldn't look good for me.

122

The beauty of golf is there's so many different shots you can play and you're constantly learning.

123

It's just such a special sport and it's somewhere where I can go and switch off away from a football pitch, somewhere I can you know socialise with my friends, with my dad, with my brothers,

124

have fun, be competitive, try to get better at.

125

There's just so many things that I love about golf

126

and last couple of years I've really took it on and yeah I really enjoy playing golf.

127

I try to play as much as possible.

128

What's your under?

129

Playing off 12 currently which is actually very good for me anyway.

130

Two years ago I wasn't even playing on a golf course.

131

I used to go up the range and I used to go and have a laugh with my friends.

132

When I first started playing I was off about 24

133

but now I've come down to 12 so I'm really enjoying my golf

134

but I'm competitive so I'm trying to get to single figures now.

135

I'd have to say the person that always beats me is probably always my dad.

136

As frustrating as it is, we're probably the same handicap.

137

He is just a typical old golfer.

138

Hits it low but hits it straight.

139

Not very far but he's just very good at getting around the golf course.

140

I like to try and play aggressive so that's why he always beats me

141

and he always winds me up about it which isn't good.

142

and also someone I always beat is my brother Jordan.

143

He's a cheat.

144

He loves to cheat on the golf course.

145

He's one of them.

146

He'll hit it into the woods, says he can't find his ball and I'll see him like dropping the ball to say he's found it.

147

He's one of them ones.

148

I always wind him up about it to be fair, but he's also a very good golfer, but he's not better than me. That was it.

149

Thank you for watching.

150

Hope you enjoy.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
