38

39
Rarely in the case of armed robbery
40
Do we hear a plea of no contest
41
Are you sure about this, Mr. Schofield?
42
I'm sure, Your Honor Your Honor, we'd like to recess if we could
43
My client's a bit confused at the moment I'm not, Your Honor He is, Your Honor Perhaps you should heed your representation's advice
44
Take some additional time to consider your response I've already done that, Your Honor
45
A vault refers to a secure room usually found in banks where money,
46
valuables or important documents are stored.
47
It's designed to be highly secure, usually with thick reinforced walls, a strong door and advanced locks.
48
not here.
49
a branch refers to a part
50
or division within a larger organization like a bank in this
51
case a branch manager is the person responsible for overseeing the operations of a specific bank location
52
they ensure the branch runs smoothly make key decisions manage the stuff
53
and address customer service issues where is he it's lunchtime he's at white castle
54
white castle it's a fast food restaurant they serve those little square burgers
55
i know what it is white castle is an american fast
56
food restaurant chain famous for small square hamburgers known as sliders
57
it has a nostalgic reputation in the united states since it
58
was one of the first fast food burger chains founded in the country has it happened to you
59
that you got a chance to practice your English speaking by having a real conversation online
60
or face -to -face and that word
61
that you know you've learned before just doesn't come to you at the moment when you need it the most.
62
I know how frustrating that feels to be in a conversation
63
and find yourself pausing frequently because you're just forgetting all the useful words you know. That sucks.
64
This feeling when you know what you want to say
65
and just want to be able to express your thoughts as

77
Rarely in the case of armed robbery do we hear a plea of no contest.
78
Are you sure about this, Mr. Scofield?
79
I'm sure, Your Honor.
80
A plea is the answer a person gives in court when they are accused of a crime.
81
When a defendant enters a no contest plea, they aren't admitting guilt, but aren't disputing the charges either.
82
It's treated like a guilty plea for sentencing purposes, though the defendant doesn't explicitly admit to committing the crime.
83
consider your response i've already done
84
that your honor he does not a very common word it means to pay close attention to
85
or listen carefully to advice warnings or instructions
86
so basically she's saying maybe you should listen to your representative's advice theodore heed my words
87
do not try to save the archangel barney there's condoms in the drawer just take them and get out
88
A chamber is typically a large room, often used for a specific purpose.
89
The word also goes beyond rooms.
90
In weapons, the chamber is the part of the gun where bullies are loaded, making it ready to fire.
91
Now let's watch the second clip.
92
This part of the story, Michael finally makes it inside the prison.
93
After a few challenging days navigating the American prison system, he meets his brother Lincoln.
94
They talk about their plans.
95
And here's where Michael reveals his tattoo in one of the most amazing scenes of the season.
96
Let's check it out.
97
you mean what you said earlier i'm not here on vacation trust me
98
getting outside these walls that's just the beginning you need money
99
i'll have it and people on the outside people that can help you disappear
100
i've already got them they just don't know it yet You Look,
101
whatever you got going on, fill me in.
102
Because I'm in the dark here.
103
Chaprell Associates got the contract to retrofit this place in 99.
104
Four million dollar contract.
105
Head partner couldn't crack it.
106
So we subcontracted out.
107
An under -the -table sort of deal with a former associate.
108
That guy was one of the partners in my firm.
109
We basically ghostwrote the whole plan.
110
Crossed the T's, dotted the I's, crowded the tiles.
111
you've seen the blueprints better than that i've got them on me are you kidding me
112
am i supposed to be seeing something here look closer
113
When you fill someone in, you share some information or updates about a situation they are not aware of.
114
It suggests that the person has missed some details or events and is asking for a summary or explanation to catch up.
115
Lincoln here seems lost, especially with Michael's determination to get himself caught and put in prison on purpose.
116
Check out this example.
117
I'm in the dark is an idiom that means that someone is unaware or uninformed about a situation or issue.
118
It suggests that the person lacks knowledge or understanding and feels confused or left out.
119
In this context, retrofit means to modify or add new technology
120
or features to an existing system
121
or structure it often involves upgrading older facilities to improve their functionality safety
122
or efficiency so what michael is saying here is
123
that the governor of the prison tried to remodel the facility head partner couldn't crack it
124
so he subcontracted out and under the table sort of deal with the former associate
125
that guy was one of the partners in my firm to crack something means to break it open
126
or cause a fracture in it the term can also be used metaphorically to describe solving a difficult problem
127
or deciphering a code so michael is saying
128
that the person in charge of getting the contract couldn't do it
129
or decipher it so he hired an associate to do it this detail is very important
130
because that former associate
131
that michael mentions was work in michael's firm putting it together
132
we understand how michael got the blueprints of the prison the
133
book john the book the key to cracking the cipher sulyn used
134
it to do this whilst we were running around the gallery
135
she started to translate the code it must be on our desk
136
we basically ghost wrote the whole plan across the t's dotted the i's grounded the tiles
137
so here michael is sharing the details about his role in planning the prison retrofits with his partner
138
so to ghostwrite means to write for someone else typically without
139
taking credit for the work the ghostwriter creates content such as books articles
140
or speeches on behalf of another person we're tired of waiting we're hiring you a ghostwriter diane nugent she's great
141
and she's got a thing for horses check this out the phrase cross the t's
142
and dot the i's means to complete all the details and ensure that everything is done correctly and thoroughly.
143
Thanks to all this information, we understand how calculating Michael is.
144
And here's one more detail that shows that Michael knows everything about the building.
145
He said, we grouted the tiles.
146
Hey there, honey.
147
You're still there, aren't you?
148
He's just dotting the I's, crossing the T's.
149
Yanking your chain.
150
Dump him.
151
Grouting refers to the process of filling the gaps between tiles, bricks
152
or stones with a paste called grout no no
153
you know what he does conscientious marty he tiles
154
he works in grout his portfolio looked a bit more diverse than tile
155
i hope you enjoyed today's lesson now with all
156
that great vocabulary you've learned today we know
157
you're not gonna be in the dark as you watch the scenes once again without subtitles
158
and answer some of our quiz questions so let's do it
159
the vault open it we can't the branch manager's not here Where is he?
160
It's lunchtime.
161
He's at White Castle.
162
White Castle?
163
It's a fast food restaurant.
164
They serve those little square burgers.
165
I know what it is.
166
Who's a branch manager?
167
A person who oversees daily operations?
168
A person who repairs computers?
169
A person who drives a delivery truck?
170
rarely in the case of armed robbery do we hear a
171
plea of no contest are you sure about this mr schofield
172
i'm sure your honor your honor we'd like to recess
173
if we could my clients a bit confused at the moment
174
i'm not your honor he is your honor perhaps
175
you should heed your representation's advice take some additional time to consider your response i've already done
176
that your honor i'll retire to my chambers to determine sentencing courts recess until 1 30.
177
what is a chamber a vehicle a person a room
178
You mean what you said earlier?
179
I'm not here on vacation.
180
Trust me.
181
Getting outside these walls, that's just the beginning.
182
You're gonna need money.
183
I'll have it.
184
And people on the outside, people that can help you disappear, I've already got them.
185
They just don't know it yet.
186
If you are in the dark, you don't have enough information to understand something, you're in a very noisy place,
187
and you're surrounded by bright lights.
188
Chapral Associates got the contract to retrofit this place in 99, $4 million contract, head partner, couldn't crack it, so he subcontracted out,
189
an under -the -table sort of deal with a former associate.
190

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.
