Hello, Easy English Learners.
2
So we're here again on the streets of Old Town Alexandria.
3
Today we're going to be asking people what their plans for the rest of the day are,
4
and if they have any plans for their future.
5
So, follow us along.
6
So it's a simple question,
7
and that is, what are your plans for today?
8
My plans for today are to walk up the street.
9
Yes, we have.
10
We're going to go have lunch and then after that we're going to do some shopping.
11
I think we're going down to the water to have a few drinks and have some girl time.
12
And the sun.
13
Girl time, that means we're not invited.
14
No, we're not invited.
15
Okay.
16
I'm going to take the metro back home and then I'm going to watch Netflix.
17
And chill?
18
Yes.
19
My plans for the rest of the day,
20
I'm going back to work.
21
I work at a shop.
22
It's actually a really interesting shop.
23
It's a sex shop.
24
Okay.
25
Yeah, it is.
26
So it's called Lotus Blooms,
27
and we sell corsets, and we sell sex toys,
28
and we're education-based, so I'm a sex educator,
29
not just working at a shop.
30
And, yeah, it's really cool.
31
We're going to continue on our walk,
32
and then we'll go home and make dinner.
33
Yeah.
34
And...
35
What do you plan to make?
36
Pizza.
37
We're doing pizza tonight.
38
Homemade pizza?
39
Yeah.
40
Well we're from the Philadelphia area so we're gonna be leaving here soon after we do a little more shopping.
41
Go back to my daughter's house and then pack up and head back up to Philly.
42
My plans for the rest of the day enjoy it with these guys maybe go have a few drinks,
43
get some good food, and then go do some homework for school.
44
Yeah.
45
I'm going to ride my bike home and then walk my dog and then take a nap.
46
Okay.
47
You don't have a dog.
48
You don't even have a dog?
49
No. And I don't have a bike.
50
And you never sleep.
51
I'm definitely going to take a nap.
52
Okay.
53
At least it's partially true.
54
Today I will be fabulous like I always am
55
and I will live my life to the fullest and continue to enjoy a traveler's view which is my business.
56
Same thing, and sleep.
57
And sleep?
58
Uh huh.
59
That's when I was like that.
60
I'm going to take pictures and I don't have any other plans for today.
61
I'm going to do what she's doing and everybody else is doing
62
and then I'm going to go home and probably sit on the couch.
63

64
What are your plans for the future generally?
65
Maybe a year, five years from now?
66

67
with my boys.
68
What do you guys hope to do tomorrow?

76
primarily in the residential industry.
77
And hopefully have a beautiful wife on my side.
78
If not, still have the girlfriend I have and go from there.
79
I hope she doesn't see this video.
80

81
going wherever there's deep snow.

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.
