Today, we are going to watch a news clip about a man who breaks into a house.

We will talk more about that English phrasal verb.
5
And instead of a dog attacking him, the dog tries to bring him a toy.
6

8

or the toefl terms you might hear americans say in everyday conversations.
13

14
San Diego police are investigating a break -in earlier this month at a home at Sherman Heights.
15
The intruder was in the house for half an hour.
16
Well, the family watched it all unfold through their security app on their phones.
17
Yeah, I thought we would have a little fun with this English lesson, teach you some terms I've never taught before.
18
Terms like this idiom in the doghouse we will talk about
19
the drama at my school we sometimes have drama do you
20
know what a guard dog is how about a belly rub
21
or a cuddler i know i've never taught this term before
22
an eve do you know what the english phrasal verb looking
23
forward to something means there are about 26 terms in total
24
so let's get to the first one of course for me to see I need to put on my glasses
25
and let's talk about an intruder an intruder an intruder broke
26
into the house an intruder is someone who enters a place without permission here's a sentence
27
that uses intruder the loud alarm scared the intruder away from my office.
28
I am filming this on a Friday afternoon and I am looking forward to the weekend.
29
What does it mean if somebody is looking forward to something?
30
That means feeling happy and excited about something that will happen.
31
I am looking forward to a quiet weekend
32
while the kids are at their grandmother's house or I should say their grandparents house.
33
And I love that when my kids were little, I loved having them at home, but I also liked some quiet time when they were visiting their grandmother.
34
Okay.
35
We are being positive here.
36
So I'm not going to mention how I don't like watching the war with Iran unfold,
37
but what does it mean to watch something unfold?
38
Well, it means saw an event happen from the beginning to the end.
39
My wife and I watched it unfold when our daughter tried to ride her bicycle for the first time.
40
And if you are a parent and you've ever watched your child ride a bicycle for the first time, it can be a pretty scary thought.
41
San Diego police are investigating a break -in earlier this month at a home at Sherman Heights.
42
The intruder was in the house for half an hour.
43
Well, the family watched it all unfold through their security app on their phones, and they were surprised by what they saw.
44
NBC7's Dave Summers explains why.
45
In the heat of the day, this stranger sought shelter in Dante Rowley's house near the corner of 20th and J Street.
46
That window up there?
47
The window just above your eave.
48
The eaves of a house notice the way that is spelled.
49
That is the part of a roof that hangs over the outside wall of the house.
50
And here, it looks like there is a little bird's nest in the eaves of that house.
51
My husband found a small bird's nest hidden under the eave of our garage.
52
If you seek something, that means you look for it.
53
If it is sought, that's just the past tense of seek.
54
Let's get the official definition looked for something or tried to find something.
55
She sought a new job with better hours so she could spend more time with her family.
56
Rowley's six -camera security system recorded the break -in.
57
The suspect used this two -story ladder hidden behind his shed to get to an open second -story window.
58
Here we have an English phrasal verb to break into somewhere.
59
That means the crime of forcing your way into a building to steal things after the break -in
60
so in that sentence it's a noun After the break -in, we bought stronger locks for the front door.
61
But you could also say, let's say it's like the past tense,
62
the intruder broke into that house and they watched the whole thing unfold on their security cameras.
63
You might know story as like a book you might read, but story can also mean the floors of a building.
64
So a two -story ladder is a very tall tool used for climbing up to the roof of a high house.
65
And there you can see that house has two stories or two floors.
66
Here's a sentence.
67
He used a two -story ladder to clean the high windows before winter.
68
And you can see that house actually has eaves.
69
The suspect used this two -story ladder hidden behind his shed to get to an open second -story window.
70
And we just watched it all happen from my phone.
71
The intruder took off his shoes and shirt, took a seat on the bench in the foyer for a while.
72
This word might be a little difficult to say.
73
The foyer.
74
The foyer.
75
That is the entrance room or hallway of a house or building.
76
Not all houses have foyers, but maybe like maybe more expensive houses have foyers.
77
Please leave your wet shoes and umbrellas in the foyer.
78
The intruder took off his shoes and shirt, took a seat on the bench in the foyer for a while.
79
He ate yogurt, turkey and cheese from the fridge.
80
He took a nap.
81
The alleged burglar, though, was not alone.
82
I'm pretty sure you know refrigerator, and I'm pretty sure that you know English speakers can be lazy.
83
Do you know that we also call a refrigerator a fridge because it's easier?
84
If you know refrigerator, you know fridge.
85
It's a machine in the kitchen that keeps food cold.
86
We need to buy more milk and vegetables for the fridge.
87
Alleged.
88
I'm pretty sure we've talked about this on the channel before alleged that is said to be true,
89
but not yet proven.
90
Take a look at the picture.
91
We have a raccoon there.
92
The alleged thief in our garden was actually just a hungry raccoon.
93
And before someone goes to trial and is found guilty, they might say like the alleged burglar or the alleged intruder burglar
94
if you know intruder burglar
95
and intruder are pretty much the same an intruder walks into
96
a building without permission where they break into a building without permission
97
if they try to steal something well then they become a
98
burglar a burglar is a person who breaks into a building
99
to steal the burglar stole my husband's old gardening tools
100
and you can see that burglar is pushing a lawnmower
101
and he's carrying a bunch of other things i don't know what they are
102
but let's just call them gardening tools like the sentence says
103
the alleged burglar though was not alone inside were also two of dante's three dogs ollie the long -haired dachshund
104
and nash the 90 pound four -year -old golden retriever that family had two dogs or two breeds of dogs.
105
One was a dachshund.
106
Don't look at how it's spelled.
107
It's pronounced dachshund and golden retriever.
108
Let's talk about them both.
109
A dachshund is a small dog with a long body and very short legs.
110
Sometimes you will hear a dachshund called a hot dog or a hot dog dog.
111
Our dachshund loves to hide under warm blankets on the sofa
112
and here we have a golden retriever that's the type of dog
113
or the breed of dog
114
that tried to bring the intruder his toy a large friendly dog breed with medium length yellow fur
115
and of course it's a friendly dog breed because it tried to bring
116
that intruder its toy the golden retriever gently carried the baby's
117
favorite toy across the room I need to interrupt the English lesson for just a second.
118

125
You can also find more information in the description below.
126
Inside were also two of Dante's three dogs, Ollie, the long -haired dachshund, and Nash, the 90 -pound, four -year -old golden retriever.
127
The dogs, like, we just want to make sure that they were safe.
128
Now, about Nash, he's more cuddler than killer.
129
And if you break into this house, oh, he's going to stop you, all right.
130
He's going to stop you for a belly rub or maybe a toy to play with.
131
Do you know what a cuddler is? cuddler that is a person
132
or animal that loves to hold you close in a warm loving way
133
and that mother
134
and son are cuddling right now it can be a verb cuddling kind of like a hug
135
but like a longer hug i guess after a long day
136
at work my youngest son is a big cuddler yeah because he probably missed his mother.
137
Some dogs love to get belly rubs.
138
In the picture, you can see that dog is getting a belly rub.
139
A belly rub is the action of petting an animal gently on its stomach.
140
Stomach and belly, it's pretty much the same thing.
141
The dog always rolls over because he wants a belly rub, or you could say he wants his belly rubbed.
142
He's going to stop you for a belly rub
143
or maybe a toy to play with the evidence is in the recording not once
144
or twice but three times nash brought the intruder a toy
145
so they could play nash was not the greatest guard dog we thought
146
that he was going to be barking at people
147
and he did the exact opposite there was quite a bit of evidence
148
that that intruder broke into their house evidence facts signs or objects that show something is true in the picture.
149
We have a young boy and he has chocolate all over his face.
150
I mean, plus he has a cookie in his hand.
151
It's pretty, pretty obvious that he stole those cookies, right?
152
He wasn't supposed to have the cookies.
153
Maybe the chocolate on his face was evidence that my son ate the cookie before dinner.
154
Oh, he might get in trouble.
155
The golden retriever in the story is definitely not a guard dog.
156
A guard dog is a dog trained to protect a home or a business.
157
Take a look at that dog in the picture.
158
He's really not guarding that house very well.
159
Our big guard dog is actually very afraid of the postman.
160
Do you know this term bark?
161
Dogs can bark.
162
You can also find bark on the outside of a tree
163
but barking as a verb means the loud sharp sound a
164
dog makes the loud barking woke the baby up from her afternoon nap
165
and that dog does not look happy nash brought the intruder a toy
166
so they could play nash was not the greatest guard dog we thought
167
that he was going to be barking at people and he did the exact opposite.
168
Even after police arrived, not distracted by the drama, Nash had a toy to greet them at the front door.
169
Oh wait, what's, oh wait, I'm sorry.
170
I was distracted for a minute.
171
I need to focus on teaching distracted that means not paying attention
172
because you are looking at something else i was distracted by a work email
173
and accidentally burned our dinner drama teenagers are often surrounded by drama what does drama mean an exciting emotional
174
or stressful situation there There is always a lot of drama
175
when it is time to ask the kids to do their homework.
176
Even after police arrived, not distracted by the drama, Nash had a toy to greet them at the front door.
177
The suspect attempted an escape through a first floor bathroom window.
178
He was met by police in the backyard, handcuffed, then taken into custody.
179
We just hope that he gets some help, honestly.
180
As for Nash, he's still in the doghouse with Dante for his behavior.
181
The suspect.
182
A lot of times this is an alleged person.
183
There isn't evidence to convict them yet.
184
They haven't gone to trial yet and been found guilty.
185
The suspect is a person the police believe committed a crime.
186
The police said the suspect was wearing a bright blue jacket it.
187
The backyard.
188
We also have the front yard.
189
The backyard is in the back of the house.
190
It is the open space or lawn behind a house.
191
Yard and lawn.
192
It's the same thing in the United States.
193
It could be called a garden in British English, but you This is an American English channel.
194
We don't talk about British English here.
195
Here's a sentence.
196
We are building a small wooden table for the backyard this weekend.
197
He was met by police in the backyard, handcuffed, then taken into custody.
198
And we just hope that he gets some help, honestly.
199
As for Nash, he's still in the doghouse with Dante for his behavior.
200
I'm pretty sure we have talked talked about these two terms on the channel before
201
so maybe it's review what
202
if someone is handcuffed handcuffed here it's an adjective it means having metal rings
203
or handcuffs locked around the wrists by police the angry man was handcuffed
204
and placed in the police car we might also say he was taken into custody
205
that means arrested
206
and kept at the police station the bad driver was taken
207
into custody after the accident this is my favorite one i
208
hate being in the dog house with my wife it doesn't happen often
209
but sometimes i make a mistake here we have an idiom
210
and it means when someone is angry with you
211
because you did something wrong and this is usually used for wives when talking about husbands.
212
Like we might say he is in the doghouse this weekend.
213
I'm not in the doghouse this weekend.
214
I think my wife and I will have a very nice weekend.
215
My husband forgot my birthday, so he is in the doghouse today.
216
You did it.
217
Congratulations.
218

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.
