113
Sure, if you can.
114
Good.
115
The packages will be heavy.
116
There is a new health store right up the road.
117
Maybe since you guys eat a lot, you should try and eat more healthily.
118
Maybe you're right.
119
We have all put on a little weight.
120

It keeps me awake.
218

219
Tea.
220
It helps me relax.
221
I don't like tea.
222
There are so many kinds of tea.
223
Maybe you should shop around and try to find one you like, because coffee is bad for you.
224
That's a good idea.

I have a sore throat.
238
You sound terrible.
239
I have a sore throat.
240
You should rest your voice.
241
I know.
242
It hurts when I talk.
243
What are you taking for your throat?
244
Hot tea and honey.
245
That should help.
246
Are you going to work today?
247
No. I'm staying home.
248
Good idea.
249
I'll feel better tomorrow.
250

It's not too hot and not too cold.
259
Fall is my favorite season.
260
Mine too.
261
The weather is almost perfect.
262
And the leaves are very pretty when they change colors.
263
Cold and windy. Is it cold out?
264
Yes, it's cold and windy.
265
I'm going to wear my heavy coat.
266

284
What time does the game begin?
285
Nine o 'clock.
286
Why don't you come with me?
287

Telephone.

You have the wrong number.

Oh.
299
Is this 685 -5290?
300
No, it's not.
301
I'm sorry.
302
That's okay.
303
A light eater.
304
Would you like anything else?
305
You haven't eaten very much.
306
No thanks.
307
I'm already full.
308
Oh, come on.
309
Have some more.
310
No, I really can't.
311
I've never been much of an eater.
312
Have some coffee then.
313
That would be nice.
314
How do you take it?
315
With sugar, please.
316
No cream.
317
Here you are.
318
Thank you.
319
A Nice Flat 1 This is a nice flat.
320
Hmm.
321
There's a living room, there's a kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom, and there's a bidet.
322
What's a bidet?
323
It's like a toilet, only better.
324
I'll let you figure it out.
325
Well, none of my friends have a bidet, and even if I don't know what it is, they will be very jealous when I tell them.
326
A nice flat, too.
327
Well, here's the kitchen.
328
Hmm, it's very small.
329
Yes, it isn't very large, but there's a cooker and a fridge.
330
There are some cupboards under the sink.
331
Are there any plates?
332
Yes, there are.
333
Good.
334
Are there any chairs in here?
335
No, there aren't, but there are some in the living room.
336
Hmm, there aren't any glasses.
337
Yes, there are.
338
They're in the cupboard.
339
And, er, where's the toilet?
340
A plane reservation.
341
I'd like to reconfirm my plane reservation.
342

Thank you.
350
Getting together.
351
Are you free Friday night?
352
I might not be in town.
353
I'm not sure yet.
354
A friend suggested I go to Vancouver.
355
Well, a few of us are getting together, and I thought you might want to come too.
356
What are you thinking of doing?
357
We're not sure yet.
358
We might go to a bar, but we'll probably go to see AI.
359
Oh, I haven't seen it yet.
360
Well, come then.
361
Sure.
362
If I'm in town, I'll call you and let you know.
363
I'll take you.
364
Diana!
365
Oh, George!
366
Hi, how are you?
367
Listen, I'm in a terrible hurry.
368
The bank closes in 20 minutes.
369
Is your bank near here?
370
Yes, it's only four blocks away, on Vine Street.
371
Well, get in.
372
I'll take you.
373
Are you sure it's not out of your way?
374
No, not at all.
375
That is so nice of you, George.
376
Thank you.
377
You're welcome.
378
We must be out of them.
379
Hi!
380
Sorry I'm late.
381
I missed the bus.
382
Oh, that's okay.
383
I had time to clean up before you came.
384
You don't look very good.
385
I must be getting a cold.
386
I've been sneezing all day.
387
Ah -choo!
388
Bless you!
389
Thank you!
390
You must be getting a cold.
391
Why don't you go lie down?
392
I'll bring you some aspirin.
393
I don't see any aspirin in the medicine cabinet.
394
We must be out of them.
395
I'll go to the drugstore.
396
Is there anything else we need?
397
Could you get some...
398
Ah -choo!
399
I don't know if they sell at you here, but I'll check.
400
Traffic Rules 2 Excuse me, may I see your license?
401
I'm afraid I've left it at home.
402
In that case, you'll have to take it to the police station within five days. But why?
403
You were speeding, ma 'am.
404
But I was only doing 75.
405
There's a 70 -kilometer -hour speed limit on this road, ma 'am. Is there?
406
I didn't see a sign.
407
Well, ma 'am, we've been following you.
408
So you were doing 75, too?
409
No, ma 'am.
410
We were doing 90 kilometers an hour, and we couldn't catch you.
411
Eating out Waiter, could we have the bill, please?
412
Can I put it all on one bill?
413
No, we'd prefer separate checks.
414
Your bill's $18.
415
That seems expensive.
416
Would you check it again, please?
417
Sorry, ma 'am.
418
This is your friend's bill.
419
Here is yours.
420
It's $24 .16.
421
To buy a bus ticket.
422
Excuse me?
423
Yes, can I help you?
424
Yes, I'd like some information about buses, please. Where to? To Toronto. When?
425
This Saturday.
426
Morning or afternoon?
427
In the afternoon, about 3 o 'clock.
428
There's one at 3 .20.
429
Thank you.
430
That sounds perfect.
431
I'll take it.
432
Operating room.
433
Mrs. Martin, I'm Dr. Thomas.
434
Oh, doctor, how is he?
435
Well, I'm afraid we'll have to operate.
436
Oh, no. He's always been afraid of operations.
437
Don't worry.
438
If we operate now, he'll be all right.
439
Oh, doctor, do you really have to?
440
I'm afraid so.
441
He's lost a lot of blood.
442
If we don't operate, he'll die.
443
Oh, please, do whatever you have to.
444
Settling down.
445
How are you settling in?
446
Oh, we're still in a bit of a mess, but Lisa seems to like it here.
447
That's good.
448
Is there a garden for her to play in?
449
Yes.
450
It's not very big, but we've got a small swimming pool.
451
Have you found a school for Jerry?
452
Yes.
453
There's one near here.
454
It only takes five minutes by car.
455
That's good.
456
So you like it there, do you, Neil?
457
Yes.
458
This is a very good place for my children.
459
Will you get some bread for me?
460
Is there a bakery near here?
461
Yes, you can get there in five minutes.
462
That's good.
463
I don't have much time.
464
Why are you going to the bakery?
465
To buy a birthday cake.
466
Whose birthday is it?
467
My daughter's.
468
She's ten.
469
That's nice.
470
Will you get some bread for me?
471
Sure.
472
Do you want anything else?
473
No, thanks.
474
I'll pay you when you get back.
475
Buying a present in a jewelry shop.
476
I'm trying to find a wedding anniversary present for my wife.
477
Yes, sir.
478
What exactly are you looking for?
479
I'm not sure, really.
480
Perhaps you can help me.
481
Right.
482
I'll show you some pendants.
483
No, I bought a pendant for her birthday.
484
Maybe a necklace, then.
485
These necklaces are made of gold.
486
Yes, I like this one.
487
What's the stone?
488
It's a ruby, sir.
489
And it's only $1 ,200.
490
Uh, well, perhaps you could show me some bracelets, then.
491
Buying a present in a toy shop Good morning.
492
Perhaps you can advise me.
493
Yes, ma 'am.
494
I'm looking for a toy for my niece.
495
Oh, yes.
496
How old is she?
497
She'll be seven years old on Sunday.
498
Skateboards are still very popular.
499
Hmm.
500
I don't want her to hurt herself.
501
What about a Barbie doll set?
502
I don't think so.
503
She has many Barbie dolls.
504
Have you got anything educational?
505
You see, she's a very intelligent girl.
506
I've got the perfect thing.
507
A do -it -yourself kit where you can build your own Barbie doll who rides a skateboard.
508
Ready to go. Are you ready?
509
Grace is still in her room.
510
She needs to rush.
511
We don't have enough time.
512
What time does the movie begin?
513
It starts at 7 .30.
514
What's the time now?
515
About 7 .10.
516
There's no hurry.
517
It only takes ten minutes by car to get there.
518
I know, but there aren't enough parking spaces around the theater.
519
Well, I'd better tell Grace to hurry up.
520
She can take hours to get ready.
521
An interesting movie.
522
I thought that movie was terrific, didn't you?
523
I don't know.
524
It didn't seem to have any meaning.
525
Come on.
526
It seems that you expect intellectual stimulation from every movie.
527
I just think that a good movie should have a central theme, at least.
528
Yes, but it doesn't hurt you to watch a funny movie once in a while.
529
Relax and enjoy it.
530
You're right.
531
I'm too serious sometimes.
532
In the Bus I see you're reading Harry Potter.
533
How do you like it?
534
I can't put it down.
535

Everyday English Speaking: Practice Real-Life Conversations
This lesson dives into casual, everyday English dialogues perfect for building confidence in real situations. You’ll practice talking about birthdays, weather, shopping, and vacation plans—topics you’ll actually use. The video’s natural pace and tone make it easy to follow, so you can focus on mimicking pronunciation and flow.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases to Master
- On sale: Used to describe items with reduced prices (e.g., “My coat was on sale for $80”).
- Single/Married: Common terms to talk about relationship status (e.g., “Is she single? No, she’s married”).
- Drive to work: A daily activity phrase (e.g., “I have to drive to work in the snow”).
- Renting a house: Useful for discussing vacation plans (e.g., “We’re renting a house on the shore”).
- Beginning to snow: Describing weather changes (e.g., “It’s beginning to snow—be careful!”).
Practice Tips: Use the Shadowing Technique
The shadowing technique (also called shadow speech or shadowspeak) is perfect for this video. Here’s how: Play a short 5-10 second clip, pause, and repeat it immediately, copying the speaker’s tone, speed, and intonation. The dialogue is slow enough for beginners, so focus on matching the natural pauses—like when someone laughs or hesitates. For example, when the speaker says, “Oh, that’s too bad. Not for her. He he he,” mimic the light laugh to sound more natural. Repeat tricky phrases like “about 12 inches, they say” until you can say them without pausing. Over time, shadowing will help you speak more fluently and confidently in everyday chats.
Keep practicing, and soon these conversations will feel like second nature!
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.
