Shadowing Practice: 21K - Learn English Speaking with Video

Good morning, Jane! What’s for breakfast today?

Good morning. Emily.

I thought we could make pancakes.

Yum, that sounds great! What do we need?

We need flour, eggs, sugar and milk.

I think we have everything. Let’s check.

Here's the flour and sugar.

Do you see the eggs?

Yes. They're in the fridge.

Great! Now, where’s the milk?

Umm, Jane... I don’t see any milk.

Oh no... I forgot to buy milk!

Oh no! That’s important for pancakes. What should we do?

Maybe we can borrow some from our neighbor, Mrs. Johnson?

That's a good idea. I'll come with you.

Emily, we have a problem.

What's wrong?

The washing machine is broken.

Oh no! What happened?

I was doing laundry and it just stopped working.

That's terrible.

Did you try restarting it?

Yes, but it didn't work.

It's completely dead.

Maybe we should call a repairman.

I think that's a good idea.

Do you know any good repair services?

I can look one up online.

Do you have your phone?

Yes, here it is. Thank you, Emily.

Hi, we need a repairman for our washing machine. It stopped working.

Sure, I can come by this afternoon. What’s your address?

132, My Street, Kingston.

Okay, I've got it.

Thank you. See you soon.

Did they say when they can come?

Yes, they’ll be here this afternoon.

Oh no, I don't have enough change.

How much do you need?

I’m short by 50 cents.

Let me check if I have some change.

Here you go, 50 cents.

Thanks so much, Alex.

I'll pay you back as soon as I can.

Don’t worry about it. It’s just 50 cents.

Still, I appreciate it.

What did you get?

Just a soda. I really needed something to drink.

Yeah, it's really hot today.

Exactly. And soda is the best option for cooling!

Did you hear about what happened with Lisa at work?

No, what happened? Tell me!

So, apparently she had a huge argument with her boss yesterday.

Really? What was it about?

I heard it was about the project deadline.

She said the timeline was impossible, but her boss kept saying she had to do it.

Wow. That's intense.

How did it end?

Well, Lisa stormed out and hasn’t come back to work since.

Everyone's talking about it.

I can imagine. Office drama is always so interesting.

Totally. And get this, I also heard that John and Rachel are dating now.

No way! I thought John was still with his girlfriend from college.

They broke up last month.

Oh no! A bird just pooped on me!

Oh no! That’s so unlucky. Are you okay?

I’m fine, but my favorite shirt is dirty!

I hope the stain comes out. This is my favorite shirt.

Don’t worry. We’ll use some stain remover and it should be fine.

Emily, I ran out of toothpaste.

Did you check the bathroom cabinet?

Yes, I looked everywhere. There’s none left.

Do you need to brush your teeth now?

Yes. I have to leave for work soon.

You can use mine. I have an extra tube in my room.

Really? Thanks, Emily. You’re a lifesaver.

No problem. Let me get it for you.

Here you go. This should last until you can buy more.

Thanks so much. I’ll buy a new tube on my way home from work.

Emily, the power went out.

Do we have candles?

Yeah, I have some in the kitchen.

Let me get them.

Great, let’s light them up.

Hey, since it’s dark and spooky, why don’t we tell some ghost stories?

That sounds fun! Do you have a good one?

I have one. It’s about a haunted house. Ready?

Ready. Once upon a time, there was an old house at the end of the street.

Everyone said it was haunted.

People would hear strange noises at night...

They heard footsteps, whispers, and sometimes, even screams.

That’s creepy! What happened next?

One night, a brave man decided to spend the night in the house.

He heard the noises too. He followed them to the attic...

Suddenly, the door slammed shut behind him.

He was trapped.

He heard a knock outside the window and saw a shadow.

What did he do?

He tried to escape, but the shadow got closer and closer until...

100

Ahhh! What was that?!

101

I don’t know! Maybe it’s just the wind.

102

Sarah. I can't remember my password.

103

Heh? For which account?

104

For my email. I need to check some important messages.

105

Did you try all the usual passwords?

106

Yes, I tried everything I could think of.

107

Maybe you wrote it down somewhere?

108

I usually do, but I can't find it now.

109

Why don't you try the 'Forgot Password' option?

110

Good idea. Let me see.

111

What does it say?

112

It's asking for my security questions.

113

Do you remember the answers?

114

I hope so. Oh! It worked.

115

Done. Now it’s asking for a new password.

116

Make sure to write it down this time.

117

I will. All set. Thank you so much, Sarah.

118

Emily, my favorite show isn’t on.

119

Really? What happened?

120

I don’t know. It’s supposed to be on now, but it’s not showing.

121

Did you check the TV guide? Maybe they changed the schedule.

122

Good idea. Let me check.

123

It says there’s a special event on tonight, so my show is canceled.

124

That’s disappointing. Do you want to watch something else?

125

I guess we could.

126

Do you have any suggestions?

127

How about we watch a movie instead?

128

I have a few good ones saved.

129

That sounds like a good idea. What movies do you have?

130

I have some comedies and a couple of new action films.

131

Let’s watch a comedy. I could use a good laugh.

132

Okay. Do you want some popcorn?

133

Yes, please. I’ll get the popcorn while you start the movie.

134

So, for the next project, I think we should...

135

Oh no! I spilled water on my laptop!

136

Jane! Quick, turn it off and unplug it!

137

Okay, it’s off. What do I do next?

138

Use these napkins to dry it off as much as you can.

139

I hope it's not ruined.

140

Let's also leave it open to air dry.

141

Don't turn it on until you're sure it's completely dry.

142

Got it. No problem.

143

Do you have important files on there?

144

Yes I do. I really should back them up more often.

145

It's a good habit to have.

146

Do you use any cloud services?

147

Not regularly. I guess I should start using one.

148

Definitely. It’s really convenient and keeps your data safe.

149

Do you have any recommendations?

150

I use Google Drive and Dropbox.

151

Both are reliable and easy to use.

152

I'll look into those. Thanks, David.

153

Jane, are you okay? You don’t look so well.

154

Oh, I have a cold.

155

I've been feeling terrible all day.

156

Oh no, Jane. That’s awful. Do you need anything?

157

I could use some tea and maybe some tissues.

158

My nose is really stuffy.

159

Of course. I’ll make you some tea right away.

160

Do we have any medicine?

161

Yes, I think there’s some in the bathroom cabinet.

162

Okay, I'll get that for you, too.

163

Here you go.

164

Oh, thanks so much, Emily.

165

No problem. How long have you been feeling like this?

166

Since yesterday.

167

I think it got worse overnight.

168

Did you get any rest?

169

Not much. I kept waking up because I couldn’t breathe well.

170

That sounds rough. Maybe you should see a doctor if it doesn’t get better soon.

171

I will if it gets worse. Hopefully, it’s just a minor cold.

172

Excuse me, I have an appointment with Dr. Lee.

173

What is your name, please?

174

Anthony. Please follow me.

175

Dr. Lee is in the second room.

176

Thank you! Hi, Dr. Lee.

177

Hi Mr. Anthony.

178

Why are you here today?

179

My wisdom tooth hurts.

180

For how long?

181

Four days. Okay, let me check it first.

182

Can you open your mouth, please?

183

Yes. A bit wider.

184

Is everything okay?

185

You've got a bit of decay in this one.

186

Is it serious now?

187

Yeah... You have to take this tooth out!

188

Oh, my gosh.

189

No worries.

190

You will feel better right after it is removed.

191

Jesus! You're still asleep?

192

Oh, my.,, What time is it now?

193

Gosh, Leah, it's 2 P.M...

194

and you're still asleep!!!

195

All you do is partying all night and come home late!

196

Don't be a spoilsport, Michele.

197

The party last night was lit!

198

You should've been there instead of staying at home reading all those boring books!

199

Yeah, because these so-called boring books don't get me an F like your cool party!

200

And I gotta tell you, the final exam is next week.

201

You'd better get ready for it.

202

Wait, what?

203

OMG how can I not know this?

204

Jesus, Can I borrow your notes?

205

Gosh, you don't even go to class.

206

Well, I'll wake up early tomorrow then.

207

You only do that when pigs fly, Leah! I know you so well!

208

Newton. I need Paul Moran's file.

209

Here you are.

210

Thank you. Have you finished the research Bella asked you to do?

211

She said she'll need it next week. So I'll finish it later.

212

Really? I just talked to her.

213

She said she'd like to meet you to get a report on the research.

214

I don't know.

215

I guess she wanted to discuss something about research.

216

Newton. Have you finished the research yet?

217

Not yet... But I need it now.

218

But you said I can finish it next week.

219

I know. So now you and I will do it together.

220

I want it as soon as possible.

221

Ok. Let's do it.

222

Hi, Ms Flight Attendant.

223

Can I get a glass of water, please?

224

Sure thing.

225

Would you like ice with that?

226

Probably not, just plain water is fine.

227

Here you go!

228

Is there anything else I can get for you?

229

Actually, yes.

230

Can I get a blanket and a pillow?

231

I'm feeling a bit cold.

232

Of course! Excuse me.

233

Sorry to bother you again.

234

Can I order a meal for the flight?

235

Absolutely.

236

We have a few options to choose from.

237

Are you in the mood for something specific?

238

I'm thinking of the chicken dish.

239

Does that come with a side salad?

240

Yes, it does.

241

And would you like anything to drink with that?

242

Can I get a glass of orange juice, please?

243

Of course! And for dessert, we have a choice of apple pie or cheesecake.

244

Which would you like?

245

I'll have the apple pie.

246

Great! I'll put in your order, and it should be served shortly.

247

Is there anything else I can get for you?

248

No. That's all for now.

249

Thank you! You're welcome.

250

Don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything else during the flight.

251

Hey, Jack! If you could have your dream house, what would it be like?

252

Oh, that's an exciting question, Emily.

253

Let me picture it.

254

Well, my dream house would be a cozy cottage nestled in the countryside.

255

That sounds lovely, Jack.

256

What features would your dream cottage have?

257

I imagine it with a charming stone exterior, a thatched roof...

258

and a beautiful garden surrounding it.

259

That sounds picturesque.

260

How about the interior?

261

What would it be like?

262

Inside, I'd love to have a small living room with a fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings.

263

The kitchen would be bright and open...

264

with a large farmhouse style dining table.

265

That sounds inviting.

266

And what about the bedrooms?

267

I'd have a master bedroom with a big window overlooking the serene countryside.

268

And a guest room for friends and family to stay comfortably.

269

It sounds like a peaceful retreat.

270

Any other special features you'd like to include?

271

Absolutely!

272

I'd have a library filled with books and I can work in there.

273

It sounds like a dream come true.

274

I can imagine the tranquility and joy it would bring.

275

Indeed, Emily.

276

Having a home that reflects my personality and provides a sanctuary is something I've always dreamed of.

277

I can understand that.

278

Well, I hope one day your dream house becomes a reality, Jack.

279

Thank you, Emily.

280

Who knows? Dreams have a way of coming true.

281

And what about you?

282

What would your dream house be like?

283

Haizz Are you okay?

284

I'm okay. Just... you know My husband can't say 'no' to anybody at his workplace.

285

The result is him being overloaded with work most of the time.

286

Many a time he even used to work on Sundays.

287

I've heard you say that before.

288

Are you worried about this?

289

No. Last month, my son started his first job Oh, congratulations.

290

But what happened?

291

I told him not to take on more than he can handle like his father.

292

Did he listen to you?

293

Yes. But my advice worked for only one week.

294

After that, he started coming home at 8 pm, then 9 pm.

295

and now sometimes it is 10 or 10.30 pm.

296

Did you ask him why?

297

Yes. He said he could not get a cab.

298

Could that really be the case?

299

But the thing is.

300

on weekends also he sits with a laptop to do office work saying it's urgent.

301

It is truly like father, like son.

302

You got a minute?

303

Yeah, sure.

304

What's wrong?

305

Well, I think we should think about getting a family doctor.

306

What do you think?

307

Family doctor?

308

Why do you bring this up now?

309

Because a doctor is what we need right now. Duh.

310

It makes no sense. Why?

311

The hospital is not very far from here, though.

312

What do you mean ‘Why’?

313

Home health care is essential, especially for our little Mimi.

314

And I don't want to put off my plans to spend the whole day at the hospital, Ben.

315

Gosh, Here we go again.

316

It'd be more convenient and time saving to have a family doctor, don't you think?

317

Waiting at the hospital...

318

Jesus it sucks!

319

Public hospitals are even worse.

320

Come on…it’s not that horrible.

321

Hi, Tracy! Is that you?

322

Yes. Hello, Sam.

323

What are you doing at the airport?

324

Are you going anywhere?

325

No. I just came here to say goodbye to my brother.

326

He's going to study abroad in Finland.

327

That's so cool!

328

I know, right?

329

He's sitting over there waiting for his flight.

330

How about you?

331

Are you going on a vacation or something?

332

Actually I'm flying back to my home country.

333

Where were you born?

334

I was born in London, England.

335

Oh, yeah. I can recognize that you're English from your accent.

336

Hahaha. Oh, sorry, but I have to leave now.

337

No, it's okay!

338

Sure, take care and have a safe flight!

339

See you after the summer!

340

Hannah, I just heard the news.

341

Will you really leave the company?

342

It's true, I'm leaving the company.

343

Oh, no. Why?

344

I see you're still doing a great job.

345

Colleagues also love you very much.

346

I know. And I also love this job, too.

347

But I'm getting married soon.

348

I cannot continue to work so far away from home.

349

I'll miss you so much, Hanna.

350

No one will have lunch with me anymore.

351

Don't worry.

352

We will go for coffee together sometimes.

353

Sure. I handed the job over to Mr. Alex and asked Julia for help.

354

Did you meet our boss?

355

Yes. If you have any difficulty, just call me.

356

Thank you. Are we still going to eat together this evening?

357

Of course! Was the field trip with your class fun?

358

Yes, Mom, It was really fun.

359

Tell me more about it.

360

We went to visit the museum and did pottery.

361

Can you make pottery yourself?

362

Yes. I made a ceramic vase for you to arrange flowers.

363

Wow. That's wonderful!

364

Thank you, honey.

365

I like this trip.

366

What an exciting experience!

367

I'm glad to hear that.

368

But it would be better if the weather wasn't so hot, Right. Today is so hot to go outside.

369

I was so sweaty and drank a lot of water.

370

I know that.

371

Hey, Emily! Have you ever been to a horse race before?

372

No. Alex. This will be my first time.

373

The atmosphere is amazing.

374

I can't wait to see the horses up close.

375

They're such majestic creatures.

376

True! The power and grace of these horses is incredible.

377

Are there any famous horses racing today?

378

Yes, there's a champion horse called Thunderbolt.

379

It's known for its speed.

380

Wow! I hope we get to see Thunderbolt in action.

381

Me too! Let's cheer for Thunderbolt and enjoy the race.

382

Do you know how to bet on the horses?

383

Yes. It's pretty simple.

384

You choose a horse and place your bet.

385

What if I pick the wrong worse?

386

Don't worry, it's all part of the game.

387

Sometimes luck is on your side.

388

Maybe the betting game is not for me.

389

I'll just cheer for all the horses then.

390

I'm gonna be so excited as the horses thunder down the track.

391

The crowd is cheering.

392

Yes. I have some binoculars to get a better view of the race.

393

Wonderful! Now shout like me.

394

Go Thunderbolt!

395

Rachel! I'm here!

396

OMG, I'm so sorry, Linda.

397

The traffic was terrible today.

398

I couldn't even move my car when I was on Main Street.

399

How long have you been waiting?

400

No, Rachel.

401

Take a deep breath and keep calm first.

402

I also just got here And I got stuck in the traffic as well.

403

How did you get here?

404

I came by train.

405

And the train I went to was crowded with people.

406

I felt like there was someone stepping on me.

407

Hahaha! Yeah, you're right.

408

Today is the weekend, so everybody's out.

409

I hope the movie we're about to go to will not be too crowded.

410

Have you ever read any Grimm Brothers fairy tales?

411

Yes! A lot!

412

Especially when I was young.

413

My grandma always read Grimm’s stories to me.

414

Cool! What is your favorite one?

415

I'd say Cinderella is the best of the best!

416

I love the motif of how the villains get punished, and how the good people like Cinderella get help from the fairies.

417

I know, right?

418

To me, Snow White and Cinderella are somewhat similar.

419

Snow White is also a nice princess who got help from the dwarfs.

420

Yeah! And both of them got married to handsome princes!

421

That's the most exciting part! Hahaha!

422

Emma, what are you studying so intently?

423

I want to find out more information about aliens after watching the movie "Home" last night.

424

Sounds interesting, so what was that movie about?

425

It theorizes that one day the Earth will be controlled by aliens.

426

The film revolves around the challenging and humorous journey to find a mother of little Tucy and Oh.

427

How did you find that movie?

428

An interesting movie full of adventure, but also very meaningful.

429

The two main characters of the film are total opposites, but they gradually become close.

430

They go together and realize many valuable lessons together.

431

I'm curious how the friendship between humans and aliens will be.

432

I'll probably look for that movie today.

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.
