104
I go back to my hometown,
105
the living pace is quite slow and slow sometimes it dampens my spirits and make me lose energy to try more diligently.
106
Not to mention that there are not many factories and industrial zones for people to find decent jobs,
107
so they have to move to bigger regions to maintain their employment.
108
Okay, mình nói hai mặt.
109
Hai thứ nhất là kiểu cái nghiệp sống rất là chậm.
110
Cái thứ hai nữa là không có nhiều cơ hội việc làm.
111
Okay, despite having a great love for my hometown, mặc dù có một cái tình yêu to lớn với quê hương thì there are still some aspects
112
vẫn có một vài cái khía cạnh mà tôi dislike ok you know, I'm familiar with có nghĩa là tôi đã quen với

accelerated pace of life có nghĩa là nhịp sống nhanh
115

it's quite slow and sometimes và đôi khi thì nó dampens my spirit có nghĩa là làm nản lòng

Không có nhiều cái nhà máy và industrial zones, có nghĩa là những cái khu công nghiệp.
124
Cho people define decent job.
125
Decent ở đây là đàng hoàng.
126
Đàng hoàng nha.
127
Ví dụ mình nói là một cô gái đàng hoàng, thì mình xa là decent girl.
128
Vậy thì ở đây, decent job có nghĩa là một công việc đàng hoàng.
129
So they have to move to bigger regions.
130
Họ phải đi đến những cái vùng lớn hơn để maintain their employment.
131
Thay vì mình nói là they have to, so they can gọi là have their job.
132
If you have a job, you can use the job You can use the job to maintain your employment It means to keep your employment Okay?

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
