Hello everyone!
3

4
In this video, you will follow a simple and relaxing conversation between Sam and Mina.
5
They meet at the station, go to a café, visit a bakery,
6
walk in the park, and talk about their hobbies.
7
Don't worry if you're a beginner.
8
I will speak slowly and clearly, so please relax and enjoy the story.
9
Before we start, I have a small question for you.

Okay, let's begin.
20

21
Good morning, Sam.
22
How are you today?
23
I'm great, thanks.
24
I'm really happy to see you.
25
Me too.
26
I was looking forward to today.
27
The weather is so nice today, isn't it?
28
Yes, it is.
29
The sky is very blue and clear.
30
Not a single cloud.
31
It's warm too.
32
I didn't bring my jacket.
33
That's fine.
34
I checked the weather this morning.
35
It will stay warm all day.
36
Perfect!
37
Did you sleep well last night?
38
Yes, I did.
39
I was so excited about today that I went to bed early.
40
Me too, actually.
41
So what do you want to do today?
42
Well, first, let's get some coffee.
43
There's a really nice café near here.
44
That sounds great.
45
I love coffee in the morning.
46
Me too.
47
And after that, we can walk around and enjoy the day.
48
I like that plan.
49
Is the café far from here?
50
No, not at all.
51
It's about a five-minute walk.
52
It's very close.
53
Great!
54
I'm already excited.
55
You really love coffee, don't you?
56
Yes, I do.
57
I can't start my day without it.
58
It's my morning routine.
59
I understand.
60
I'm the same way.
61
How do you like your coffee, Black?
62
No, I usually put a little milk in it, but no sugar.
63
How about you?
64
I don't drink coffee, actually.
65
I usually get tea.
66
Oh, really?
67
That's interesting.
68
Okay then, let's go find your tea and my coffee.
69
Let's go.
70
Hi there.
71
Welcome to our cafe.
72
What can I get for you today?
73
Hi.
74
Can I have a coffee, please?
75
Sure.
76
What size would you like?
77
We have small, medium, and large.
78
Mmm, a medium, please.
79
Great choice.
80
Would you like it hot or iced?
81
Hot, please.
82
It's a nice day, but I still prefer hot coffee.
83
I understand.
84
A lot of people feel the same way.
85
Do you want any milk in your coffee?
86
Yes, please.
87
Just a little milk.
88
OK.
89
And how about sugar?
90
No sugar for me, thanks.
91
I like my coffee with just milk.
92
I think it tastes better that way.
93
Got it.
94
A medium hot coffee with a little milk and no sugar.
95
Do you want anything else?
96
That's right.
97
And can I also get a medium iced tea, please?
98
It's for my friend. Of course.
99
Any sugar in the iced tea?
100
I'm not sure.
101
Let me think.
102
Actually, no sugar is fine.
103
She usually doesn't like sugar in her drinks.
104
No problem.
105
So, one medium hot coffee with milk and one medium iced tea with no sugar.
106
That will be $6.50, please.
107
Here you go.
108
Thank you.
109
Your drinks will be ready in just a moment.
110
Please wait over there.
111
Okay.
112
Thank you so much.
113
You're welcome.
114
Enjoy your drinks today.
115
Here's your iced tea.
116
I didn't add sugar.
117
Is that okay?
118
That's perfect.
119
You know me well.
120
Thank you, Sam.
121
You're welcome.
122
Okay, let me try my coffee.
123
Mmm, this is really good.
124
Really?
125
I'm glad you like it.
126
Yes, the coffee is very smooth.
127
Not too strong.
128
Not too weak.
129
Just right.
130
That's why I like this place.
131
They make everything just right.
132
How's your iced tea?
133
It's really good.
134
It's very cold and refreshing.
135
Perfect for a warm day like this.
136
That sounds nice.
137
This café has a really nice feeling, too.
138
It's quiet and relaxing.
139
Yes, I love the music they play here.
140
It's very soft and calm.
141
It makes me feel peaceful.
142
And the chairs are really comfortable.
143
I could sit here all day.
144
We have other things to do today, remember?
145
Right, right.
146
So, do you come here often?
147
Yes, I come here about once a week, usually on Saturday mornings.
148
It's my favorite cafe.
149
Once a week?
150
You must really love this place.
151
I do.
152
The staff are always friendly and the drinks are always delicious.
153
I noticed that.
154
The person at the counter was very kind.
155
Right?
156
They always smile and remember what I like.
157
I can see why.
158
It's a really wonderful place.
159
I want to come back here soon.
160
I'm happy I could share it with you.
161
It feels nice to come here with someone.
162
Thank you for bringing me here.
163
Next time, I want to try their cake too.
164
Yes, their cake is really good.
165
You'll love it.
166
Something to look forward to.
167
Okay, shall we go?
168
I want to show you a bakery near here.
169
A bakery?
170
That sounds wonderful.
171
Let's go.
172
Hello.
173
Welcome.
174
Please take your time and look around.
175
Thank you.
176
Everything looks so delicious it's hard to choose.
177
What do you recommend today?
178
Our chocolate bread is very popular today.
179
Many people bought it this morning.
180
And the cheese bread is also really good.
181
They both look great.
182
I'll take one chocolate bread, please.
183
How much is it?
184
The chocolate bread is $2.50.
185
Okay.
186
And actually, let me get one cheese bread, too.
187
My friend might want to try it.
188
Is the cheese bread soft?
189
Yes, it's very soft and warm.
190
We baked it just 30 minutes ago.
191
It's still fresh.
192
That sounds perfect.
193
Sure.
194
The cheese bread is $2, so your total is $4.50.
195
Okay, here's $5.
196
Thank you.
197
And here's your change, $0.50.
198
Thank you.
199
Would you like a bag for your bread?
200
Yes, please.
201
That would be helpful.
202
We're going to eat them outside.
203
Oh, that sounds lovely.
204
Here you go.
205
The bread is best when it's fresh, so please enjoy it soon.
206
We will.
207
They smell so good.
208
Thank you very much.
209
You're welcome.
210
If you like those, next time you should try our melon bread.
211
It's also very popular.
212
Melon bread?
213
I love melon bread.
214
I'll definitely try it next time.
215
Thank you.
216
Please come again soon.
217
Wow!
218
This park is beautiful.
219
The trees are so green.
220
I know, right?
221
I love coming here, especially on days like this.
222
The weather really is perfect for being outside.
223
Not too hot, not too cold.
224
Yes, it's the best kind of day for walking outside.
225
I feel so relaxed.
226
I agree.
227
And the park is so peaceful.
228
I can hear birds singing.
229
Yes, there are many birds here.
230
Sometimes I see squirrels, too.
231
Really?
232
That's cute.
233
I love nature.
234
It makes me feel happy and calm.
235
Me too.
236
It's nice to get away from the city sometimes.
237
Do you take walks often?
238
Yes, I try to walk every day, usually in the morning or after dinner.
239
Every day?
240
That's really healthy.
241
How long do you usually walk?
242
About 30 minutes, sometimes longer if the weather is nice, like today.
243
That sounds nice.
244
I should walk more too.
245
I usually just stay home on my days off.
246
You should try it.
247
Walking is great for your body and your mind.
248
You feel so fresh after a good walk.
249
You're right.
250
Maybe I'll start walking in this park every weekend.
251
It would be good for me.
252
Definitely.
253
And you can take pictures while you walk.
254
That's two hobbies at the same time.
255
Haha, that's a great idea.
256
I didn't think of that.
257
Oh, look!
258
There's a nice bench over there, under that big tree.
259
Do you want to sit down and eat the bread?
260
Yes, let's sit there.
261
I'm getting a little hungry, actually.
262
Me too.
263
The bread smells amazing.
264
Here, try the cheese bread first.
265
I got it for you.
266
Really?
267
That's so kind of you.
268
Thank you, Mina. Of course.
269
Let's eat.
270
This cheese bread is so delicious.
271
I love it.
272
I'm glad you like it.
273
The chocolate one is really good, too.
274
Do you want to try a little? Can I?
275
Thank you. Of course.
276
Here you go.
277
Mmm, that's amazing, too.
278
Okay, so I want to know more about you.
279
What are your hobbies, Mina?
280
Well, I really like reading.
281
I read books almost every night before I sleep.
282
Oh, that's nice.
283
What kind of books do you read?
284
I like novels, especially love stories and mystery stories.
285
A good book can take me to another world.
286
That's a beautiful way to say it.
287
I wish I read more books.
288
You should try.
289
I can recommend some easy and fun books for you.
290
How about you, Sam?
291
What are your hobbies?
292
I have a few hobbies.
293
I really like cooking.
294
I try new dishes every week.
295
Really?
296
That's wonderful.
297
What kind of food do you cook?
298
I like making Italian food, like pasta and pizza, but recently I've been trying to cook Japanese food, too.
299
Japanese food?
300
That's great.
301
What Japanese dishes have you tried?
302
I made curry last week.
303
It was pretty good, I think.
304
I also tried to make rice balls once, but they fell apart.
305
Rice balls are tricky.
306
You need to use the right amount of water.
307
I can teach you sometime.
308
Really?
309
I would love that.
310
And I'll cook Italian food for you in return.
311
That sounds great.
312
Do you have any other hobbies?
313
Yes.
314
I also like listening to music.
315
I listen to music when I cook, when I walk, and before I sleep.
316
What kind of music do you like?
317
I like many kinds.
318
Rock, pop, and jazz.
319
I've been listening to some Japanese music lately, too.
320
You really are interested in Japanese things. Of course.
321
That's one of the reasons I'm here.
322
What about you?
323
Do you have other hobbies besides reading?
324
Yes.
325
I also like taking pictures.
326
I take photos of flowers, food, and nice places with my phone.
327
Oh, that's cool.
328
Do you share your photos anywhere?
329
Yes, I put them on social media sometimes.
330
My friends say they're good.
331
I'm sure they are.
332
You have a good eye for beautiful things, I think.
333
Thank you.
334
That's a very nice thing to say.
335
I mean it.
336
I really enjoy spending time with you, Mina.
337
I enjoy it too.
338
It's really fun talking with you like this.
339
Well, we're back at the station already.
340
I can't believe it.
341
Time went so fast.
342
I know.
343
I had such a great time today.
344
Every moment was fun.
345
Me too.
346
I had a really wonderful day.
347
The coffee, the bread, the park, everything was perfect.
348
I'm so happy to hear that.
349
I enjoyed every part of today too.
350
And I learned a lot about you today.
351
Your hobbies are really interesting.
352
Thank you.
353
I also learned about you.
354
I didn't know you could cook.
355
I really want to try your food.
356
I promise I'll make something for you.
357
Maybe next time we meet?
358
That would be amazing.
359
I would really like that.
360
When are you free next?
361
How about next Saturday?
362
I can cook lunch for us at my place.
363
Next Saturday sounds perfect.
364
I'll bring something too.
365
Maybe some cake or fruit.
366
You don't have to bring anything, but that would be very nice.
367
Of course I'll bring something.
368
It's more fun to share things, right?
369
You're right.
370
Okay, so next Saturday it is.
371
I'll send you a message about the time.
372
Sounds good.
373
I'm already looking forward to it.
374
Me too.
375
Well, I should go now.
376
Thank you for today, Mina.
377
It was really special.
378
Thank you too, Sam.
379
I had a lovely day with you.
380
Take care on your way home.
381
Send me a message when you get there, okay?
382
I will.
383
You be careful, too.
384
Don't forget to send me the time for Saturday.
385
I won't forget, I promise.
386
See you next Saturday, Mina.
387
See you next Saturday.
388
I hope your cooking goes well.
389
I know it will be delicious.
390
I'll do my best.
391
Have a good night, Mina.
392
Good night, Sam.
393
Today was a really great day.
394
It really was.
395
One of the best days I've had.
396
Bye, Mina.
397
Bye-bye!
398
How was it?
399
I hope this video helped you improve your English.

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.
