Shadowing Practice: 5 Second Rule with Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
Well, hello, you two.
2
Hello.
3
I'm so happy to see both of you.
4
Oh, thank you.
5
Even though we kind of live really close to each other, we never see each other because you're working all the time.
6
And the last time we saw each other, this happened.
7
Oh, totally fine.
8
That was the last time I saw you.
9
Oh, that's so weird.
10
I know.
11
It's such a small town.
12
I know.
13
I don't know how that's possible.
14
And you two actually didn't know each other before this film, right?
15
No. No, we had never met.
16
Did you meet prior to start, to make sure there was chemistry?
17
Cuz it's basically the two of you for most of the film.
18
And then there's no chemistry.
19
Yeah.
20
The whole movie just falls apart.
21
No, there's a lot of chemistry.
22
They kinda just took a gamble, I guess.
23
They just thought that we would be okay in a movie together.
24
And it worked out real good.
25
It's a really, really good movie.
26
Thank you.
27
Yeah, we'll talk about it cuz there's so many other things to talk about first.
28
We teased to the movie later, see?
29
Yeah.
30
But it's really good.
31
We're not here to talk about the movie.
32
Oh, but I'm gonna talk about it anyway.
33
We are coming out with a fragrance.
34
Yeah.
35
Oh, together.
36
Yeah, together.
37
Yeah, what's it called?
38
It's called Stink.
39
Yeah, with a Q -U -E.
40
S -T -I -N -Q -U -E.
41
Yeah, it's really good.
42
They actually call you the male Jennifer Lawrence.
43
Did you know that?
44
Isn't that awesome?
45
Yeah.
46
I love that. Is it?
47
Yeah.
48
Yeah, thank you.
49
Thank you.
50
I'm so excited.
51
I just can see why you would be - I just heard that today.
52
I didn't know that that was really a real thing.
53
But because you're so nice.
54
It could be worse.
55
I could be called, yeah.
56
He's much, much nicer than me.
57
Is he nicer than you?
58
Yeah, he's like a hard worker.
59
He has a good attitude.
60
He's very positive.
61
You don't have any of those things?
62
No. I was just like, when are we leaving?
63
I was like, ah!
64
And he had to do basically everything.
65
Because I suffer from paranoia mixed with delusions.
66
So I thought that if I were in a harness, I would never be able to bear children.
67
So he took care of all the harness work.
68
Yeah, all the stunt work I did.
69
He did all of it.
70
And I did, there was about a week where I was working solo.
71
And I remember hanging in this harness with this space suit that was really heavy.
72
It was incredibly uncomfortable.
73
And I was just, I just remember hearing, I just remember saying, you guys better get this together, because Jen is not going to do this.
74
Like, you better have this figured out by the time Jen gets back.
75
I put it on for one second and was like, hell no. Well, you did have it on in one scene, right?
76
One scene.
77
I don't know how many scenes I did.
78
I mean, I had to ultimately do it.
79
I just complained a lot.
80
Yeah, I see.
81
Because it looked very heavy, that thing we're talking about.
82
Yeah.
83
How heavy was it?
84
75 pounds.
85
It was like 75 pounds.
86
Yeah, this is a space suit.
87
And it was tough to figure out, because you're trying to create the illusion of zero gravity, like we're in space, we're floating around. And so.
88
And yet you have this thing that's 75 pounds.
89
Yeah.
90
And you're hanging by essentially a pair of weird underwear with hooks on it.
91
What?
92
They didn't make you wear the hook underwear?
93
I didn't even have the hook underwear.
94
See?
95
No, they're like this, it's like this thing that goes around you, and then they hook you on.
96
I didn't do it.
97
You already have a child.
98
Yeah, it's true.
99
I was like, I don't want anything going.
100
That's it.
101
You think you can't have children if you wear a harness?
102
Yes.
103
I'm sick.
104
Wow.
105
So did you know what the movie was before you signed on?
106
That you'd be, it's - Not really.
107
I just kind of read my lines.
108
I can flip through for your character.
109
Look, it's yours is pretty dress, that's cool.
110
It is pretty cool outfits, cuz it's sort of the future, so it's like the late is the future, that sort of.
111
You know that Jennifer was voted most talkative at, was it high school?
112
Middle school.
113
Middle school, and two years in a row, right?
114
Yeah, two, two.
115
Most talkative.
116
I learned a lot about The Real Housewives that I didn't know before.
117
Right.
118
But there were other topics as well.
119
Okay, what did you say?
120
What was it when you said?
121
If Jen ever tells you, you know what I read somewhere?
122
What she means is, you know what I saw on The Real Housewives?
123
I was getting a lot of Lyme disease information from Real Housewives at Beverly Hills.
124
Of Beverly Hills?
125
And so I kept repeating it and was like, you know, this is really interesting.
126
So you have to be careful.
127
I mean, listen, if that's the symptoms, you have to understand that Yolanda went through that.
128
I was like, I just, again, I have no idea what you're talking about.
129
So there's talking, there's singing.
130
I understand there's a lot of singing on the set.
131
Do you not remember that, Jen?
132
Oh, do you believe in love?
133
Yeah.
134
That's really good.
135
Thank you.
136
Thanks.
137
I don't know, maybe I'll do something with it one day.
138
Just a Cher show?
139
I didn't realize that I did that.
140
That must be like a tick.
141
What an annoying tick.
142
No, it's great.
143
Oh my god.
144
You have an incredible singing voice.
145
Oh my god, a wake up call on Ellen.
146
I can't imagine how annoying that must be.
147
Yeah.
148
Were you trying to memorize the lines, and I just kept going?
149
You kept doing Cher.
150
Did you not know you were singing Cher?
151
Not really.
152
Yeah.
153
I was like, I do.
154
I believe in life after love.
155
I get it. And you rap, apparently.
156
He's really, really good.
157
Like your own songs?
158
I'm starting to sweat.
159
Do you see sweat pouring out of me?
160
Yeah, I do see you sweating.
161
I'm like, I think I'm going to have to wrap on up.
162
No. No, you don't need to.
163
I do, but I'm afraid I'm going to have the, the, yeah, my mic's on it and the boob sweat.
164
Anyway.
165
What, to take the jacket off?
166
Boob sweat.
167
I get moob sweat.
168
You get boob sweat?
169
Moob.
170
Oh, what?
171
Moob.
172
A movie.
173
I think it's because of deodorant, not to brag, but I.
174
I saw something about this.
175
I put it on.
176
Yeah?
177
Yeah.
178
I put some on a couple days ago, and it's an antiperspirant.
179
And that means that the sweat's like, I'm gonna come out right here.
180
It wants to come out my pits, it can't, travels to my moobs.
181
Oh.
182
Moobs?
183
No. No, you said you went like that.
184
You went in.
185
Mine hang very low.
186
Man boobs.
187
Yeah.
188
They hang low.
189
That's what I thought.
190
But when you went like that, then I thought maybe I was wrong about what moves meant.
191
Yeah.
192
No, that's mutts.
193
Yeah.
194
No. Well, I guess they'd just be called, no. Hey.
195
Hey.
196
Guys, I gotta take this phone call.
197
This is a really fun game and - No, no. He's attacking me.
198
Yeah, you have to name the three things first and then hit the buzzer.
199
Okay.
200
You have to do it within five seconds.
201
So we're gonna start with you.
202
Five second rule.
203
Yeah, five second rule.
204
So I give you five seconds to name these things.
205
Put your hands, oh, you can put them there.
206
Name three movies that take place in space.
207
Galaxy Quest, Passengers, Star Wars, Star Trek.

217
I know, it would have been horrible.
218
Chris, name three of your favorite body parts of the opposite sex.
219

Lungs, nipples and feet.
221

Right here.
235
Oh, god.
236
I just realized that looked like I was totally pointing down.
237
I just realized that looked like I was totally pointing down.
238
It's so much worse that I was oblivious to it, too.
239
I just kept going, oh.
240
And what is it?
241
What is it?
242
What's that called?
243
What do you call that thing?
244
I still stand by that as well.
245
All right, tell us three things you should never say to your wife.
246
Whoa, I wasn't listening.
247
Those pants do make you look fat.
248
Yeah, those pants, yeah, don't wear those.
249
Are you sure you wanna eat that?
250
Yeah.
251

252
That's a good one.
253
That's a good one to say to your wife.
254
Oh, man.
255
Tell us three things someone should never say to you.
256
Turn off the reality TV.
257
It's rotting your brain, ruining your brain, which apparently is - Rotting.
258
It's rotting your brain.
259
I guess that's it.
260
It's too late.
261
I don't have to keep going.
262
Right, so I guess, I guess don't tell me the truth.
263
Give us three nicknames for making love.
264
God, they're giving you all those.
265
Whoopee.
266
That's the first one.
267
And Hidmit, is that one?
268
That's not really making love though.
269
Okay, one more.
270
Just go straight in for humping.
271
Humping, right.
272
All right, so you've got lots of it, name three.

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.
