1
Oh That was a lucky shot one giraffe but you can't take me
2
Taylor can probably beat you one -on -one easy.
3
You okay?
4
You know if you keep playing like that, they're gonna start checking your locker for steroids.
5
Did you see my last dunk?
6
Yeah.
7
What's wrong?
8
I just wish you didn't have to show us so much.
9
That's all.
10
Did I do something wrong?
11
Ryan, I don't get you.
12
I mean, you're my boyfriend.
13
Shouldn't you be defending me?
14
Not joining in on making fun of me?
15
Looks like you're big enough to defend yourself.
16
Oh!
17
I am so sorry.
18
It's my fault.
19
I wasn't looking.
20
I'm surprised she didn't squish him.
21
Yeah, you're going to need a forklift to get her up, little man.
22
Thanks for that.
23
I'm Taylor.
24
Jay, you played great out there.
25
No one could touch you.
26
Thanks.
27
Yeah, that's because no one could reach her, bro.
28
Yo, FlipSqueak.
29
Is there a reason why you're here?
30
Well, this is where the two -on -two tournament's happening, right?
31
Looking for a partner.
32
You want to play in this league?
33
He's going to have to grow a few inches today.
34
All right, I get it.
35
You're afraid of Lusso who got half your size, huh?
36
What did you just say to me, you little punk?
37
Oh.
38
Sorry, I had to get some supplies for Luna.
39
And the residency doesn't pay me well.
40
Don't worry, I only have one more year and I'm opening up my own clinic.
41
Right.
42
Last night's stream was crazy.
43
We almost hit $200 in donations for the shelter. And Luna?
44
We might actually have enough time for her.
45
Wow.
46
And were all four of your followers watching?
47
There's not a lot of people watching, Lex, but it's enough to make a difference.
48
You're smart, Jay. And talented.
49
I just wish you had bigger goals.
50
And make more money.
51
Well, I'm working two jobs.
52
Well, also, there's this basketball tournament.
53
It has a $1 ,000 cash price.
54
And realistic goals, Jay.
55
I need you to make realistic goals.
56
Never mind.
57
Forget that thinking bigger doesn't come naturally to you.
58
Hey, Blondie!
59
I think you dropped something.
60
Oh, no, my bad.
61
That's my jaw.
62
Shit.
63
Smell for it sometime, sweetheart.
64
Hey, knock it off.
65
What you gonna do about it, pipsqueak?
66
Yeah, I get it.
67
Ha ha ha, I'm short.
68
I still look down on guys like you though.
69
Oh yeah?
70
Then do something about a tough guy.
71
You guys think threatening strangers makes you strong?
72
Come on.
73
Real strength is about having self -control.
74
You ever try that sometime?
75
Yeah.
76
Blondie.
77
She want a real man.
78
Come holla at us.
79
Why didn't you do anything?
80
What are you talking about?
81
I de -escalated the situation before it got worse.
82
I used my brain, Lex, not my fists.
83
Gotta go to work.
84
I'll call you later.
85
Here, let's open the cough, Mom.
86
You need it more than me.
87
I wish I wasn't such a burden to you.
88
My apartment should be ready next week.
89
Don't say that, okay?
90
You're not a burden.
91
And you can stay here as long as you need to.
92
You do so much.
93
Residency and all those extra jobs.
94
And now you have to take care of me?
95
I'm so lucky to have you.
96
Where are you going now?
97
I'm gonna go and try to raise more money for the shelter and hopefully find Luna at home.
98
I don't understand why you have to wear that.
99
Well, it's the one time people don't size me up before I say anything.
100
Maybe one day I won't have to.
101
But at least for now, it'll keep the focus on the dogs and not on me.
102
I'm proud of you.
103
Thank you, Mom.
104
Hey, Pac.
105
Welcome back to another episode of Adopt, Don't Shop.
106
I'm here live at the Forever Friends shelter, where every dog you see is waiting for someone just like you.
107
Now, I may be biased as a doctor, but all these guys are pretty great.
108
Good question, Notorious510.
109
Why do I wear this?
110
Well, I figure the less you see of me, the more you focus on these guys.
111
they're the star of the show now i want to introduce
112
you someone very special she gets a little stir crazy in her kennel she's in there for too long
113
so we put her in a special room so she has enough room to hang out in
114
all right guys this here is luna she's proof
115
that beauty is not about being perfect it's about surviving what's
116
trying to break us kind of like us huh just trying to be seen and and appreciated for who we are.
117
I guess that is a little depressing, huh?
118
Well, even if there are only two of yours watching, maybe that's enough.
119
If one person adopts, if one dog finds a home, then that'll make it all worth it.
120
Like Luna here.
121
If we don't raise $1 ,000 for her meds within a few days, or find a home moon to take care of her, then we're going to...
122
Hey!
123
Hey!
124
We got a new follower!
125
Guys, we got another pack member.
126
Welcome, dog mom for life.
127
See?
128
I told you.
129
We're making a difference.
130
One paw at a time.
131
Ain't that right, Luna?
132
Yeah!
133
With you and I, the future is right Oh,
134
you and I, we got it Oh, we don't need no more Oh,
135
even in the hard times You and I can't weather any storm
136
Oh, yeah, that's good.
137
Man, why do I always put the good stuff way up there?
138
Here, I got it.
139
Well, I guess we know who wears the pants in this relationship.
140
Why are you always trying to embarrass me, T?
141
I wasn't.
142
I was just trying to help.
143
Okay, but you didn't.
144
It's not even the one that I want.
145
I want that one. That one?
146
Babe, I don't think anyone can reach that one.
147
Oh, really?
148
Watch me.
149
um hello um can i get some help over here what do you guys need help with great you again um Listen,
150
Half -Pint, um, if we can't reach it, I don't think that you're gonna be able to either, okay?
151
Sometimes, it's not about using your height, it's about using your head.
152
You ever try that?
153
Well, let me know if you need help with anything else.
154
Great.
155
Zero will be yours.
156
We'll get you your money, girl.
157
I'm doing everything I can.
158
I know we're running out of time.
159
Oh, uh, welcome back, dog mom for life.
160
I'm sorry if it's laggy.
161
Maybe my cheap setup hates me today.
162
You sound different.
163
Yeah, just going through a few things.
164
Same.
165
Oh, well that sucks.
166
I'm sorry.
167
I had wished you'd stream.
168
Maybe we can talk to each other.
169
You want to talk on the phone?
170
Wow.
171
Wow.
172
Uh, yeah.
173
Yeah, just go ahead and drop your number.
174
I'll give you a call.
175
Hi.
176
Hi, is this, um...
177
You can call me Dog Mom for Life.
178
I've never really reached out to someone like this online.
179
Same.
180
You can call me Half Stack Hero.
181
No one really knows who I am, not beyond what they see.
182
So let's fix that.
183
I know we said no real names, so tell me about you, Dog Mom for life.
184
The real you.
185
Well, I love dogs.
186
Figure that.
187
See?
188
That's already something we share.
189
And I can't live without matcha.
190
No way.
191
Same.
192
I love the butterfly matcha from La La Land.
193
Me too.
194
Jinx. So, what's your dream?
195
Well, right now, it's just to say Bluna.
196
But eventually, after my residency ends next year, I want to open up my own veterinarian clinic.
197
Help more little guys just like them.
198
I love that.
199
Your turn.
200
I want to make it to the next level.
201
You know, have my hard work pay off, be accepted.
202
You know, for some reason, I feel like I can be myself with you.
203
Yeah?
204
I really like talking to you.
205
If you actually listen to me, then don't judge.
206
I can say the same about you.
207
Hey, Junior League's over there.
208
We're going to play here now, all right?
209
All right.
210
You guys can join me.
211
Hey, you looking for a partner?
212
Nah.
213
You just don't give up, do you?
214
Maybe giving up's not my DNA.
215
Neither is height.
216
Even if you found someone who wanted to play with you, you'd think you'd actually win?
217
Get off the court, man.
218
Before you get hurt.
219
Man, the only thing getting hurt is your feelings after I beat you.
220
Leave.
221
Now, before I squish you.
222
Alright.
223
Play me.
224
One on one.
225
If I win, I play.
226
If you win, I'll leap.
227
Unless you're afraid to play a guy half your size.
228
Alright, short sack.
229
First to five wins.
230
Oops.
231
Go get it.
232
This is gonna be cheap, bro.
233
I heard the Ledger's putting the winners on the paper.
234
Oh, it's cute for the fridge, but if I'm going to get the pros to look at me, I've got to get national coverage.
235
Like ESPN or Athletes Illustrated.
236
Otherwise, I'm just going to be stuck as the tall girl on aisle nine.
237
No one thinks of you as that.
238
Are you serious?
239
Have you seen my Instagram comments lately?
240
Look at this.
241
I've already blocked seven people just today.
242
Trust me.
243
That's all people see me as.
244
But if I could make it to the pros, I'd finally be more than just a tall girl.
245
I mean, I would actually belong.
246
It doesn't matter what other people think, Taylor.
247
What matters is what you think.
248
How you see yourself.
249
The gym will be closing in 30 minutes.
250
Let's take a steam and hit the showers?
251
You go ahead.
252
I'm going to train a little more.
253
Really?
254
How else am I going to make it to the pros?
255
Oh, my God.
256
Game's over, Shortstack.
257
Knew you didn't measure up.
258
Take a hike.
259
Can I get half a sandwich?
260
I'm trying to save room for dessert.
261
I'm gonna put in the full sandwich.
262
I don't think you have much to worry about.
263
Uh, I'll take the burger.
264
Can you believe that guy?
265
He didn't even ask what I wanted.
266
Please leave a message after the dome.
267
Come on, Ryan.
268
Ryan?
269
Stop it, you are too funny.
270
I'm serious.
271
You're really funny.
272
Stop it.
273
Hi, Ellen.
274
What is going on?
275
Um, this is not what it looks like.
276
Well, you want to explain it to me then?
277
It's just you've been acting different lately, and all you do is you talk about basketball and training, and you act like...
278
Like what?
279
You just act like you're the boss of me in the relationship.
280
What else am I supposed to do?
281
This is how I get to the next level, Ryan.
282
Maybe he just wants a girlfriend, Taylor, and not an Amazonian.
283
Well, I guess that's done.
284
So, how'd your game go?
285
I lost.
286
Only because he kept fouling me.
287
Mm -hmm.
288
You don't believe me.
289
It's not that, Jay.
290
I just don't see where basketball or helping a shelter is going to take you.
291
Max, it's my residency.
292
I have to finish if I want to start up my own clinic one day.
293
How are you going to do that when you can't even buy me a coffee?
294
I got paid.
295
It's for the coffee.
296
Plus interest.
297
Great.
298
Ten dollars.
299
If I had a few more zeros, I could finally buy that Chanel bag I've been wanting.
300
Maybe it's time you picked something you could actually win at.
301
Something.. realistic.
302
My friend Rachel posted her engagement photos.
303
Her fiancé looks like he's 6 '4".
304
They look so good together.
305
and we don't have you ever seen pictures of us standing next to each other
306
we're basically the same height
307
when i'm in flats i basically had to stop wearing all of my heels
308
when i started dating you i don't know
309
if i can wear flats for the rest of my life
310
jay can't you wear them i love you in heels and tower over you and all of our photos
311
imagine what people would say who cares what people are going to say
312
if it makes you happy Wear all the heels that you want.
313
It's on the house.
314
Beautiful.
315
Can you please not talk to my girlfriend like that?
316
Whoa, sorry.
317
She's your girlfriend?
318
Sorry, man.
319
I thought you were a little brother or something.
320
Should I take it back?
321
No, it's fine.
322
Thanks.
323
My bad.
324
I just never thought a girl like her would...
325
Never mind.
326
Why'd you have to make a scene?
327
Did you not see the way he was flirting with you?
328
Because he didn't know we were together.
329
Well, maybe because you act like we aren't.
330
Okay, listen.
331
Next.
332
When I do speak up, you also get mad.
333
I am just trying to understand here.
334
Okay.
335
Maybe it's time I stop trying.
336
What did you say?
337
Look, you're a great girl, Lex.
338
Maybe we're just not meant to be together.
339
Jay, sit down.
340
No one walks away from me.
341
Jay, you should be grateful to have me in your life.
342
Believe it!
343
You can't dump me, Jay!
344
I dump you!
345
I don't know what to do.
346
I don't know what to do.
347
I don't know what to do.
348
I don't know what to do.
349
I don't know what to do.
350
I don't know what to do.
351
I don't know what to do.
352
I don't know what to do.
353
I don't know what to do.
354
I don't know what to do.
355
I don't know what to do.
356
I don't know what to do.
357
I don't know what to do.
358
I don't know what to do I'm going crazy for you.
359
I was blue like the ocean.
360
I can see you want this too.
361
Cause you've been looking at me all night, trying to figure me out.
362
I just want to let you know.
363
oh yeah
364
I'm falling in love, yeah I'm falling in love,
365
yeah I'm falling in love,
366
yeah I'm falling in love, yeah I'm falling in love.
367
Wait, wait, wait, no way.
368
You're dog mom for life?
369
You're...
370
Bro, she's like two of you.
371
I'm sorry.
372
Maybe this was a bad idea.
373
She's one of one.
374
And that's still way out of your leave.
375
All right, whatever.
376
How do you do that?
377
What?
378
I don't know, stand up for yourself, not care what people say.
379
I mean, I may act like I don't care, but if I really didn't, then I wouldn't have to wear a mask every time I stream.
380
Well, at least you can be strong most of the time.
381
I feel like I never was.
382
You see, ever since I was little...
383
Best she could eat the moon.
384
I hated my height.
385
I'd slouch in every picture, and my knees would look shorter.
386
They wouldn't always say it to my face, but I could see it in their eyes.
387
I was too much for them.
388
So I stopped trying to fit in.
389
decided I'd try to prove myself instead.
390
I mean, if they couldn't love me for who I am, then...
391
Maybe they could respect me for what I can do.
392
Well, for what it's worth, you're not too much.
393
You're exactly enough.
394
Thanks, Jay.
395
Oh no. No, no, no, no, no. What's wrong?
396
Luna's out of time.
397
They're putting her down tomorrow night.
398
Oh my god, I would take her, but my roommate is allergic to dogs.
399
Jay, what else can we do?
400
The shelter's maxed out.
401
I tried to raise a thousand bucks, but I couldn't.
402
What about the two -on -two tournament tomorrow?
403
I couldn't find a partner for that.
404
What if I knew someone?
405
Anyone else want to challenge the reigning champs before they take home the prize?
406
Yeah, who's gonna get beat next?
407
You.
408
You just don't go away, do you?
409
Where's your guy at?
410
Junior leagues?
411
Not a guy.
412
She can't play.
413
Why not?
414
You scared to lose to a girl?
415
yeah let's go let's go I said switch though
416
hey that was a nice shot
417
I'm going to get it back, I'm going to get it back, I'm going to get it back, I'm going to get it back.
418
Hey, keep it clean.
419
You okay?
420
Yeah.
421
You alright, son?
422
I'm good.
423
All right, it's 9 -9.
424
Next point wins.
425
It's your ball.
426
Don't jump over the ball, Shredstack.
427
Oh my gosh, yes.
428
Okay.
429
Watch this.
430
Come on, come on, come on.
431
All right!
432
Hey, jump, jump, jump!
433
Jay Jay, I guess you are used to carrying the team by now, huh?
434
Game's over a little now Hey, don't go Jay!
435
Let's go!
436
Let's go!
437
Let's go!
438
Let's go!
439
Let's go!
440
Let's go!
441
Let's go!
442
Let's go!
443
Yeah!
444
Yeah!
445
Yeah!
446
Yeah!
447
Yeah!
448
Yeah!
449
Oh, I'm a freelance reporter, but I have an in with a bigger outlet.
450
You know, with your style of play and that impressive win we just saw, this could go wide.
451
I'd say keep your phones closed.
452
Pro scouts are going to start calling.
453
Oh, almost forgot this.
454
Oh, thank you.
455
Thank you.
456
Okay, ready?
457
And three, two, one.
458
Great.
459
Wow.
460
I don't know why you're celebrating.
461
She carried you the whole game.
462
I mean, literally carried.
463
You know, it's funny.
464
You didn't feel that heavy when we carried you to that L.
465
What a cute speech, Taylor.
466
Maybe we should all get stepstools so we can actually hear.
467
Yeah, Jenna, I'd love to see you stand tall.
468
Without stepping on other women.
469
Oh, no. No, no, no, they're taking Luna.
470
Okay, come on, come on.
471
No, no, no, please!
472
You can't put Luna down!
473
Put her down?
474
Who said that?
475
Luna found a home.
476
She.. she did?
477
My roommate told me this morning she's moving out next week.
478
I called as soon as I found out.
479
Yeah?
480
Oh, yeah?
481
Luna's coming home with me.
482
Well, if you knew we didn't need to win the thousand bucks...
483
Honestly, it was kind of nice to get back at Ryan and Jenna.
484
And now you can use the money to upgrade all your gear.
485
I mean, think of what you can do with some better Wi -Fi, a real microphone, a camera that doesn't lag.
486
You want to be on the stream with me?
487
Really?
488
Okay.
489

What You'll Practice in This Lesson
This lesson uses a lively dialogue from a video about an unlikely romance to boost your language learning skills. You'll practice understanding casual conversational English, including playful teasing, conflict, and supportive exchanges. Focus on how tone shifts with emotion—from frustration to encouragement—and how speakers use short phrases to convey meaning quickly. This is perfect for speaking practice as it mirrors real-life interactions.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases to Master
- "Lucky shot": A successful action that seems more due to chance than skill. Example: "That goal was a lucky shot, but she still won the game."
- "Squish": To crush or press something flat. Used playfully here: "I’m surprised she didn’t squish him!"
- "Forklift": A machine used to lift heavy objects. Used metaphorically: "You’ll need a forklift to get her up!"
- "Bigger goals": Ambitions that are more significant. Example: "He has bigger goals than just working at a café."
- "Make a difference": To have a positive impact. Example: "Even small donations can make a difference."
Practice Tips for Shadowing & Pronunciation
The video’s dialogue is fast-paced and informal, making it ideal for practicing the shadowing technique. Here’s how: Pause the video after each 2-3 second clip, then repeat the line immediately, mimicking the speaker’s tone, speed, and stress. For example, when Taylor says, "Looks like you're big enough to defend yourself," notice the sharpness in her voice—copy that to convey frustration. For pronunciation practice, focus on reducing "gonna" (instead of "going to") and "wanna" (instead of "want to") to sound more natural. Also, pay attention to how questions rise in intonation, like "Did I do something wrong?" Repeat these until your rhythm matches the video. This method trains your brain to process and produce English quickly, just like native speakers.
Grammatica in deze video
De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:
| Structuur | In de video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — iets dat eerder begon en nog bezig is | you've been acting · I've been wanting · you've been looking |
| Voorwaardelijke zinnen if + zin, will/would + werkwoord — een voorwaarde en het gevolg | If you win, I'll leap |
| Lijdende vorm be + voltooid deelwoord — het gaat om wat er gebeurt, niet om wie het doet | may be biased · be seen · be accepted |
| Present perfect have/has + voltooid deelwoord — iets uit het verleden dat nu nog telt | I've never really reached · Have you seen · I've already blocked |
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.
