Good afternoon.
110
How can I help you?
111
Good afternoon.
112
I have some questions about your membership options here at the Sports Center.
113
What questions do you have?
114
I am happy to help you.
115
First of all, what are the hours of operation for this location?

119
The schedule sounds great.
120
What are your busiest and slowest times?
121
I like to know when I will have space to get my workout on.
122
Weekdays we are generally busy in the morning from 8 till 10
123
and then we get another rush in the afternoon from 5 till 7.
124
Our slower times are either midday or in the evenings past 7 at night.
125
Weekends are different because we experience different levels of volume.
126
Thanks.
127
How about physical training?
128
Do you offer any one-on-one training in your weight room?
129
We sure do!
130
We have many trainers for you to choose from.
131
You can see their schedules and credentials here on this form.
132
Please see what availability and teaching style best meets your needs and we can arrange a session for you.
133
This looks great!
134
How about group classes?
135
What offers do you have for those?
136
We offer aerobics, spinning, yoga, and Zumba.
137
We also have outdoor activities as well.
138
Some of our trainers offer outdoor hiking trips and cycling in the mountains.
139
This place is amazing!
140
I'm ready to get started!
141
Wonderful.
142
We have two different kinds of membership to choose from.
143
One is from open till 4 p.m in the afternoon and it costs $50 a month.
144
The other is complete open access and it will be $70 a month.
145
Which one of these best suits you?
146
I will take the open access membership, please.
147
That's great.

156
Where will I use my card to get in?
157
You can scan it here and the door will open automatically.
158
The card is active?
159
Yes, it is.
160
Welcome to our team here at the Sports Center.
161
Thank you.
162
I'm happy to be here.
163
Good morning, Kate.
164
Morning.
165
How are you holding up?
166
I'm doing just fine.
167
I think we'll find a middle ground with the manager.
168
That's great.
169
What was the problem again?
170
Well, I mistyped the price of a product.
171
What did the manager say?
172
He told me that if I did it again, he would fire me.
173
That's so harsh.
174
Yes, but he was right.
175
Instead of 500, I typed 50.
176
The customers were so happy, I think.
177
There was a big discount.
178
They were.
179
Our sales have skyrocketed.
180
Well, every cloud has a silver lining.
181
Yes, there's always good and bad.
182
Yet the manager told me to up my game.
183
Yes, you should put more effort and be careful.
184
I agree.
185
Hold on, I have to make a call.
186
Hello, this is Kate.
187
I'm calling to let you know that we are interested in your offer.
188
That's great.
189
Both companies will benefit from our collaboration.
190
Yes, but our employers and co-workers need more information.
191
That's okay.
192
We'll make another presentation about our offer.
193
You'll see all the advantages and disadvantages. That will be awesome.
194
However, we also need to see your action plan.
195
Okay, we'll keep you notified about it.
196
Then let's schedule a meeting for next Monday.
197
Okay, see you on Monday.
198
I'm back.
199
You were awesome.
200
I see that you're getting better every day.
201
Thank you.
202
With the feedback I got, I tried to do better.
203
I'm proud of you.
204
You really made your own way.
205
Yes, no one pulled strings for me.
206
I worked hard.
207
That's why you should be more careful with your work again.
208
Exactly.
209
To compensate for my mistake, I will do market research.
210
Will you find more effective strategies?
211
Yes, we should make profits.
212
You're right.
213
I can help you with the target market. That sounds fantastic.
214
Thank you.
215
You're welcome.
216
Good morning.
217
Good morning.
218
What can I get for you today?
219
I'd like some croissants.
220
What are the fillings?
221
We have croissants with five different fillings.
222
Chocolate, strawberry, orange, vanilla, and blackberry.
223
Which one would you want?
224
Okay, chocolate and vanilla then.
225
Anything else?
226
Let me see.
227
What is on top of this cheesecake?
228
Raspberry or cranberry?
229
The topping is raspberry.
230
Great.
231
I'll take one slice.
232
And the bread smells perfect.
233
Is it ready? Of course.
234
This is a fresh batch.
235
I popped this tray out of the oven five minutes ago.
236
Perfect.
237
Is it yeasted bread?
238
Yes, it is.
239
Would you like to try some?
240
Here's the slice. Of course.
241
That's very kind of you.
242
This is a perk of being a permanent customer.
243
This is a top seller.
244
What is your secret?
245
We don't really tell secrets.
246
Oh, come on.
247
You know I'm a regular customer.
248
I think I deserve a tip.
249
Fair enough.
250
Our secret is in the water temperature and kneading step.
251
Really?
252
How come water temperature is important?
253
If it's too hot, the yeast dies.
254
If it is warm enough to touch, it is good for the yeast.
255
And what about the kneading?
256
You should knead for 10 minutes.
257
It's very important.
258
What?
259
I'll lose weight if I knead for 10 minutes.
260
Don't worry.
261
We'll back you up with our pastry.
262
That's for sure.
263
So croissants filled with chocolate and vanilla, one slice of cheesecake, and this bread.
264
Anything else?
265
No, that's all.
266
Okay, I'll pack them up for you.
267
Thank you.
268
How much is the total?
269
In total, it is $8.
270
Really?
271
It is cheaper than I thought.
272
Well, croissants on the house for the first time you buy them.
273
This is why you're my favorite bakery.
274
Here you are.
275
Thank you.
276
Have a good day.
277
Hi, Sandy.
278
Hello, Tom.
279
What's up with you?
280
Not much.
281
I've been keeping busy with my studies.
282
Professor Donald will be giving us his midterm exam right before the New Year.
283
Yep, you are so right about that.
284
I need a good grade on that exam if I want to pass the semester.
285
At least it's before the New Year.
286
I need to do well on it too.
287
Once the exam is complete and New Year's is here, would you like to go with me to see some fireworks?
288
It is good timing.
289
Yeah, that sounds like fun.
290
Where should we go?
291
The beach has a nice fireworks show, but the traffic is so bad in that area.
292
There is another show scheduled at the park near our school, and it is close enough for us to go by foot.
293
That sounds like a great idea, Tom.
294
It will give us something to look forward to after our big test.
295
I'm glad that you agree.
296
What are your New Year's resolutions for this year?
297
This year I have three resolutions.
298
1. Spend more time pleasure reading.
299
2. Go for more brisk walks.
300
3. Listen to more podcasts which educate and inspire.
301
Wow!
302
Those are amazing!
303
Thanks!
304
What are yours?
305
I have a few as well.
306
1. Eat a bit healthier.
307
2. Swim regularly.
308
3. Spend more time with you.
309
All right, I like them.
310
I believe we can and will make that last one come true.
311
Right after the exam, of course.
312
Let's get through this exam with flying colors and then we have some celebrating to do at the fireworks show. With flying colors.
313
Complete success.
314
If you do something such as pass an exam with flying colors, you do it very successfully.
315
Yes, after we pass the exam with flying colors, we can go to see flying colors in the sky.
316
I like the way you put it.
317
It will be lovely.
318
Thank you for the invite, Tom.
319
Thank you for saying yes.
320
You can practice English whenever and wherever you want.
321
Just listen to our short stories and answer the easy question out loud.
322
You will improve your listening and speaking skills fast.
323

324

Hello, Mr. Scott.
381
It is a pleasure meeting you today.
382
Hello.
383
Thank you for agreeing to meet with me.
384
I'm Ms. Willis.
385
I'm the Service Manager Director of this Olive Garden.
386
It is nice meeting you today, Ms. Willis.
387
I want to thank you for your attention to detail during our preliminary online interview questionnaire.
388
Your answers were really great.
389
Thank you.
390
How did you find out about this job?
391
I found your job post on LinkedIn, which directed me to your company's website, where I sent in my resume and did the preliminary online questionnaire.
392
That's brilliant.
393
I am so glad that it was that simple for us to meet up.
394
What do you know about our company so far?
395
I have read about Olive Garden's dedication to excellent customer service, and I can see that it is known to be a leader in the industry.
396
It is clear that Olive Garden prides itself in delivering the best guest experiences possible.
397
This is so true.
398
We do know how important a customer is and we shower them with great service.
399
Our top goal has always been, and it will always be, to have our customers want to come back.
400
I want to know more about you.
401
Please tell me, who is Mr. Scott?
402
If you like this video, give it a thumbs up and hit the subscribe button to receive more like it in the future.
403
I received my bachelor's degree in hospitality management.
404
I am an advocate of customer service.
405
I used to volunteer at school.
406
When I completed school, I was fortunate to find employment immediately as a sales representative.
407
I was promoted to the sales manager position within a year.
408
Although the experience was great, I longed to work on the service side of hospitality.
409
What did you do to satisfy your desires of working in service?
410
I jumped ship and came to work as a server at a restaurant with hopes of climbing the ladder again.
411
I was promoted and I enjoyed a five-year employment tenure with them till they closed their doors of the business.
412
This closure put me back on the job market.
413
I was not there long
414
because an old friend from my previous sales job hooked me up with an interview at his company.
415
My previous training helped me a great deal in this company.
416
I dealt with customer complaints, and I know how important it is to be empathetic.
417
I was also proactive and skillful in handling issues.
418
How long have you been working with your friend?
419
I've been there for two years.
420
Why do you want to leave?
421
I am still eager to learn more about the service.
422
Your company will provide that learning and growth.
423
What is the main reason you applied to work for our company?
424
I saw the dedication to a core value that I share personally.
425
Put your customers first.
426
With this, I can see that your company has a sure success long term.
427
I would be honored to grow with a company that focuses on the right things.
428
Please share your strengths with me.
429
My strengths are dedication and follow-through.
430
I stay committed during good times and bad.
431
My dedication lasts to the very end.
432
I won't settle for mediocre.
433
My standards are high, and I work hard to achieve my goals at all times.
434
I work well with others and I always put customers first.
435
Can you share an example of great customer service?
436
I listen first and then answer.
437
I give answers that best benefit the customer.
438
I use empathy by seeing the problem through their eyes.
439
My underlining goal is to always make sure that they are happy.
440
Awesome!
441
What would happen if a customer was impossible to please?
442
I would give it my all to ensure their happiness.
443
This would include letting someone else give it a go.
444
Some people like to see a new face, and I know that I can only get as far as they let me.
445
I would remind myself that we are all human and some people need time.
446
Great.
447
Please share your weaknesses with me.
448
I get repetitive and it may tend to annoy others sometimes.
449
I try to combat this by pacing what I say.
450
I also work on it by limiting the number of times I say something.
451
What would you like to be in five years?
452
In five years, I'd like to be a manager who other managers look to for advice.
453
I would like to be thrown out of my comfort zone too.
454
Cross-training in the culinary area has been a long-term goal of mine.
455
Culinary is considered a promotion and it will come based on performance.
456
Do you handle yourself professionally when things aren't going as planned?
457
In most cases, I can find a way to fix issues when they arise.
458
When something is beyond my skill level, I have been known to reach out and get the help needed to overcome the obstacle.
459
You seem stable and easy to work with.
460
Are there any other qualities you'd like to share?
461
Hello.
462
Are you enjoying the story?
463
Please give us a like.
464
Thank you.
465
I adapt well and make use of situations.
466
How so?
467
When I was out of work, I found a way to develop my skills.
468
What did you do?
469
I took a course online and made a friend who showed me the ins and outs of LinkedIn.
470
I'm impressed.
471
All right.
472
Thank you for coming in, Mr. Scott.
473
It was a pleasure meeting you today.
474
It was wonderful meeting you, too.
475
You will hear from me tomorrow.
476
Thank you.
477

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.
