Shadowing Practice: NO WAY HE DIRECTED THE OFFICE! - Learn English Speaking with Video

Uh, hi.

Actually, it's polite to arrive early. And smart.

Only really good friends show up early.

Ergo de facto, go to a party early.

Become a really good friend.

Oh!

Uh, potato salad?

Oh.

That's from both of us.

No, it's not.

Okay.

Wonderful.

Let's, uh, see where we can put this.

Okay.

Oh, you know what?

You probably want to leave the cover on until the guests get here.

It's been sitting in my car all day.

The sun beating down on the mayonnaise.

Just...

You never know.

1, 2, 3, up Jenkins!

Down Jenkins!

I think I heard the cord over here. Where?

On this side.

No, it is definitely under one of these hands.

I kinda heard it on Roy's side too.

No, it is here.

Not here.

Good thing you didn't listen.

Yeah, close one.

Not here.

Okay, it's either here or here.

Not here.

Yes!

I can read you like a book.

Oh, yeah?

You can't keep anything from me.

Thumbs up.

Hey, Kreen.

Hey.

So, what are you guys up to?

Ah, hello.

You're the man, buddy.

I run a small fake ID company for my car with a laminated machine that I swiped from the sheriff's station.

This was a gift from Lee Iacocca, 20-year-old single malt scotch.

Here is to Mr. Iacocca and his failed experiment, the DeLorean. Are you okay?

Yeah.

Do you have any ice?

How about some Splenda?

You and the missus should join us, Sandals, Jamaica, next Christmas.

Hi, Michael.

I think David probably wants to spend Christmas here with his family.

Oh, yeah.

They don't allow kids in Sandals.

They are our persona non grata there.

Oh, but it's fun.

It is an awesome place.

You would not believe how low this girl can limbo.

It's crazy.

I'm sorry.

You're just going to excuse us for just a couple of minutes.

Sorry.

Okay.

Excuse me.

What's going on?

What is it?

Sorry.

What's...

No. What's...

What did I...

Come here.

Just...

What are you doing?

Don't you know what I'm doing?

Yeah, but you could go.

What is that?

Why are we going in the bathroom?

I thought this is where you light your privacy.

Shut up.

What?

I want us to make it.

I want a fresh start.

That's awesome.

That's what I want.

Okay, but in order for us to make it, there can't be any secrets between us.

I didn't do anything.

I asked anybody I totally could have, and I didn't at all.

Just listen.

Remember that casino night about a month before we were supposed to get married?

I kissed Jim.

100

What?

101

He told me how he felt and I guess I had feelings too and we kissed.

102

Jim came onto you?

103

Just listen.

104

No, I am listening.

105

That's the problem.

106

I'm listening.

107

Don't yell.

108

DON'T YELL?

109

This is over.

110

Yeah, you're right.

111

This is so over.

112

You're over.

113

You're killing me, Pam!

114

Come on!

115

Come on!

116

You jet ski!

117

Are they gonna call the cops?

118

No, I paid them off.

119

Jet ski money?

120

All of it.

121

I'm gonna kill Jim Halpern.

122

Shabuya Roll Call!

133

Shabuya, ya, ya, Shabuya Roll Call!

134

Jim taught them a driving song built around a nonsense word word.

135

Nonsense.

136

A word that makes no sense. On purpose.

137

If you can't see what's wrong with that, I can't help you.

138

My name is Kevin.

139

That is my name.

140

They call me Kevin.

141

Because that's my name.

Roll call.

I'm not very good at that.

Roll call.

161

Shibuya, ya, ya, Shibuya roll call.

176

Yeah.

The Nardong.

178

Roll call.

179

Shibuya, ya, ya, Shibuya, roll call!

180

Oh, you guys, you guys, check this guy out.

Hey, I'm Dwight!

186

Dwight, catch up with him!

187

Catch up with him!

188

Oh!

189

Oh!

190

194

Oh!

195

Oh!

196

Oh!

197

Oh!

198

Thanks.

199

Playing a little hooky from work today.

200

Oh my god.

201

Everybody, hang on!

202

Oh!

203

Oh!

204

Oh!

205

Oh!

206

Oh!

207

High!

208

High!

209

High!

210

High!

211

High!

212

High!

213

High!

214

High!

215

High!

216

High!

217

Jim, take the wheel!

218

What?

219

Take it!

220

What?

221

Just take the wheel!

222

What are you doing?

223

Are you insane?

224

You're gonna get killed!

225

Don't worry about me!

226

Take care of them!

227

Get them!

228

Pies!

229

Don't close that stand!

230

Thanks, Dwight.

231

I rolled on a rock.

232

You may be asking yourself, what am I doing on a trampoline?

233

Well, I thought I'd bounce here for a while, relieve some stress, and then move on with my day.

234

Not.

235

Here's a plan.

236

Dwight is going to gather all of the office workers and all of the warehouse guys, and we're going to have another safety seminar.

237

Only this time, where's Michael?

238

Oh, my God!

239

He is on the roof!

240

Now I have got their attention.

241

I tell them about the cold hard facts of depression.

242

And then I say, hey, you ever seen a suicide?

243

And I jump.

244

And they freak out.

245

And they get to see the dangers of depression with their own eyes.

246

Nice side note, they might think, hey, I should have been nicer to Michael.

247

But that's not why I'm doing this.

248

And then I land on the trampoline, take a couple extra bounces for fun.

249

I climb off, walk around the corner.

250

Ta-freaking-da!

251

Some applause, maybe some tears, but they never doubt the dangers of the office ever again.

252

Maybe later I find some money on the street.

253

Not a bad day.

254

What do you think?

255

You know, guys, I recently learned some pretty cool stuff about the difference between feeling something and acting on that thing.

256

Can you tell Andy to focus on the springs, please?

257

Yeah.

258

Drew?

259

Yes, bosses.

260

You know, Drew, why don't you go inside?

261

Dwight, come here.

262

Where should we put this?

263

Okay, uh, turn around and do a broad jump for me on go.

264

Ready?

265

Go!

266

One missus...

267

Okay, you went that far on a one missus.

268

Ippie would take you to here.

269

This trajectory times the propulsion from your quadriceps would be about three missus Ippie,

270

maybe three and a quarter.

271

So one missus correct Ippie to Mississippi three Mississippi e Right here.

272

Okay, good.

273

Thank you I'll take our time do this right Ready let's do it drop that sucker Yeah!

274

Bingo!

275

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

276

Bingo!

277

Deactivate the car alarm, clean up the mess.

278

Okay.

279

Find out whose car that is.

280

If it's Stan Lee's, call the offices of James P.

281

Albini.

282

See if he handles hate crimes.

283

Got it.

284

Also, take apart the trampoline, stick it in the bailer.

285

We're not allowed to use the bailer.

286

Have Patch do it or the Sea Monster.

287

I'm on it.

288

Hit it.

289

Come on, hurry up, you guys!

290

My life!

291

Oh, my life.

292

Michael, what's wrong?

293

Everything's wrong.

294

The stress of my modern office has caused me to go into a depression.

295

Depression?

296

Isn't that just a fancy word for feeling bummed out?

297

Dwight, you ignorant slut.

298

Depression is a very serious illness over 32,000 people commit suicide every year,

299

according to a 2004 study.

300

Is that the last year the data was available?

301

Yes.

302

My head is in such pain and turmoil.

303

Don't do anything rash.

304

Dwight, where are the warehouse guys?

305

I didn't...

306

I didn't think you needed them for this part.

307

Okay.

308

That's...

309

You said to just...

310

That's the whole point, dummy.

311

That's the whole point, dummy.

312

Okay, I'm on it.

313

Okay?

314

Ooh, brownies.

315

I'm taking two so I can parcel them up and eat them at my leisure later on, much healthier.

316

You're taking two?

317

Yeah, but one of them is for Tubby.

318

Yeah.

319

Why don't you send that to him in Costa Rica?

320

I'm just gonna hand it to him right now.

321

Okay, weirdo.

322

Why is that weird?

323

She said she's gonna give it to him right now.

324

She's probably going to, because they sit next to each other.

325

Yeah, they're used to.

326

Toby works here again.

327

Oh, can you imagine?

328

Oh, no. Oh.

329

You don't know.

330

I don't know.

331

What?

332

You should probably just meander back there.

333

Take a look.

334

See if he's back.

335

Dare I?

336

You know what?

337

I'm going to.

338

For old time's sake.

339

Great practical joke, Jim.

340

You got me to go to the annex.

341

No!

342

God!

343

No!

344

God, please, no!

345

No!

346

No!

347

No!

348

Hey.

349

Hey.

350

You know, it's funny.

351

I used to stand in here and wish I was out there.

352

Now I'm out there and I wish I was in here.

353

Well, the grass is always greener.

354

Yeah, except there's no grass out there.

355

It's just a farty dirt patch.

356

Well, that's what you wanted.

357

I really need my job back.

358

We made a terrible mistake here.

359

For the record, I fought this, all right?

360

And now, I'm not really sure what we do.

361

We make a poster that says, Happy Opposite Day, and she sees it on the way out.

362

That's stupid.

363

Oh, I wish we had one of those amnesia flashlights for Men in Black, just...

364

Hey, what was that movie where their boss their boss was within earshot, and they could have just gone and talked to her.

365

Lethal weapon?

366

That's it.

367

I think we should do it the lethal weapon way.

368

You two are grown-ass men.

369

What do I have to do, fire you and get two people in here who don't need so much management?

370

Joe, I am a man of few words.

371

I don't mince words.

372

I try to use as few words as possible to express an idea or a thought or a concept.

373

Along those lines, I try...

374

Joe, we made a mistake.

375

I...

376

I hate to say this, but I hate being a manager.

377

I only did it because I thought it was the responsible thing to do, but the truth is, if I can make more money as a salesman, I'd like to do that, please.

378

And what I don't understand is that I am a great manager and a great salesman.

379

So, what I'm saying...

380

Michael's saying that he's better at being a manager, and I agree.

381

I'm just...

382

Because he's a better people person, weirdly.

383

And weirdly, I'm a good dog person.

384

Right, guys?

385

See?

386

They love me.

387

Fine.

388

I don't care which one of you does which job.

389

Just stop meeting with me to talk about it.

390

All right.

391

All right.

392

Oh, I gotta take this.

393

Yep.

394

Finish walking my dogs for me.

395

And don't ride them.

396

A lot of people try to ride them.

397

Oh, smells good in here.

398

Sure does.

399

Okay, we have your space heater, your humidifier, your dehumidifier, your fan, your foot fan, and your food dehydrator.

400

Aaron, what about my keyboard?

401

Ah.

402

So good to be home.

403

How about a little bossa nova?

404

Oh.

405

He looks happy.

406

Yep.

407

Oh, well, well.

408

Hmm.

409

Lost for.. what was it?

410

Oh, four and a half hours.

411

New record.

412

Whoa.

413

Previous record?

414

Henry Rosten.

415

Lost for nine years, four months.

416

And he only left because he had family matters to attend to, and he...

417

What?

418

Michael?

419

Pete?

420

Alice.

421

It's been a while, huh?

422

Oh, did you two know each other?

423

Yeah, we have a history.

424

Oh.

425

History, wow, okay.

426

We dated for two years.

427

That's so random.

428

Well, is it?

429

Andy also hired a management consultant today.

430

Oh, no. Hey, Aaron!

431

Look who's back!

432

The Birdman!

433

Hello, beautiful.

434

Didn't you two used to do it?

435

We absolutely did.

436

Thank you for remembering that.

437

She's looking good.

438

Thank you all for coming in.

439

Just wanted to check in.

440

How was everyone's day?

441

I just wanted to check in.

442

How was everyone's day?

443

Honestly, it was a little weird.

444

Really?

445

Hmm, that's interesting, because Aaron and Pete thought it wouldn't be weird at all.

446

Why do you think it was weird, Gabe?

447

Maybe because you and Aaron used to be an item?

448

I still wear Aaron's button bands around the condo sometimes, so it feels to me like we're still in a relationship a lot of the time.

449

And Alice, I understand you once dumped Pete.

450

Ouch.

451

It was an amicable breakup, Andy.

452

Okay, while we're rewriting history, you never had a drinking problem.

453

It was college.

454

That is what you do.

455

Yeah, you're also supposed to go to classes, so there's that.

456

Hey, Andy, is this at all work-related?

457

We'll get to that.

458

Gabe, did Erin ever tell you that she loves you?

459

No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. She wouldn't even let me say it.

460

It was adorable.

461

She'd plug her ears and scream her heart out.

462

Can you stop talking?

463

Because every word out of your mouth is like the squawk of an ugly pelican.

464

I got a tattoo for you.

465

I didn't ask you to get that Nike swoosh.

466

Nobody did!

467

You did that for you!

468

Just do it.

469

You were the it that I was just doing.

470

So you're dating a secretary now?

471

Moving up in the world, Pete.

472

She's nice to me.

473

How's that P.E degree coming?

474

That's what he wanted to be.

475

His dream in college was to be a gym teacher.

476

Well, guess what?

477

He could still be a gym teacher.

478

In fact, we could all still be gym teachers. So, let's...

479

I technically cannot.

480

I don't have the lung capacity to blow a whistle.

481

Oh, my God.

482

What kind of music are you into, Peter?

483

Uh, I like all kinds of music, Gabe.

484

Really?

485

All kinds?

486

So you like songs of hate written by the white knights of the Ku Klux Klan?

487

No!

488

Erin, are you even hearing this?

489

Gabe, he didn't even say that.

490

He's not a very sophisticated man.

491

I mean, he can't use chopsticks, so do I need to say anything else?

492

Erin, I've been to Japan.

493

I know how to use chopsticks so well.

494

Come back.

495

One night.

496

Give me one night with you.

497

I've shaped everything.

498

I don't want you to shape everything.

499

I wasted two years of my life on you.

500

You realize that, right?

501

I just want to be real clear that chopsticks is not the measure of a man.

502

I am as smooth as a porpoise for you.

503

Why don't you say at the beginning, this isn't really going that well.

504

Just shovel his sashimi into his mouth at the support.

505

All right, all right, yes.

506

That is a legitimate question.

507

Does making Aaron and Pete feel bad make me feel better?

508

He's a simian fool and he's...

509

Yeah.

510

Yeah.

511

Yeah, it does.

512

Let's try a little social experiment here.

513

Raise your hands if you like to buy things.

514

Okay, I see some people who like to buy things.

515

You're it.

516

You are the reason that this world rolls along.

517

Give yourselves a round of applause.

518

Say you want to start a business.

519

And business is all about buying and selling, is it not?

520

So say you want to sell lemonade or stickers.

521

Something you have to keep in mind.

522

You must, and you might want to jot this down,

523

you must sell the stickers for more than you bought the stickers for.

524

Okay, I'm seeing some confused faces out there.

525

Let me slow down a little bit, break this down.

526

Okay.

527

The more stickers you sell, the more profit, fancy word for money, you have to buy PlayStations and Beanie Babies.

528

Michael, what we normally do here is more of a question and answer thing.

529

Well, okay, I'm just kind of getting going.

530

Yeah, I know.

531

All right, okay, well, we can do questions.

532

Okay, very good, first hand up.

533

Sir, as a company that primarily distributes paper, how have you adapted your business model to function in an increasingly paperless world?

534

We can't overestimate the value of computers.

535

Yes, they are great for playing games and forwarding funny emails.

536

But real business is done on paper, okay?

537

Write that down.

538

Business models are just that.

539

They are models.

540

They are not real life.

541

I used to make models when I was a kid.

542

I'd glue them together.

543

I couldn't ride them around, because they were this big, and they were made of plastic.

544

You know what I'm saying?

545

Okay.

546

Uh, what percentage of gross profits does Dunder Mifflin typically invest in research and development?

547

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

548

See, in my line of work, that is what we refer to as gobbledygook.

549

Okay?

550

Yeah.

551

What are some of the public relations challenges facing an industry that pollutes the environment while destroying trees?

552

Well, for one, our company is a very green company.

553

We use all recyclable toilet paper, which, if you've ever met some of our employees, is a huge, huge savings.

554

This woman named Phyllis and Kevin in particular, Kevin uses our recyclable toilet paper all too often.

555

And, frankly, we do cut down trees, but trees are a renewable resource,

556

which is something you can't say about oil.

557

Oil just doesn't grow on trees.

558

What do you say to a customer who wants to leave you for the convenience and savings of a nationwide chain?

559

I say you will miss our service, and I absolutely guarantee you'll come back.

560

Has anyone ever come back?

561

We don't want them back.

562

They're stupid.

Nice try.

565

How's your Pollux's one index?

566

What?

567

Thanks, Kowalski.

568

Um, can we get back on track here?

569

How do you sustain morale in a business with no future?

570

I take issue with that premise.

571

That's a thing, and that's something that all of you should remember.

572

When you're in the business world, you can't always make people like you happy,

573

because there's always gonna be one jerk who's just getting under your skin and wanting something for nothing.

574

Not to say that you're a jerk, but people who ask questions like you just did are.

575

By your own employees' calculation, you'll be obsolete in the next five to ten years.

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.
