Vocabulary and speaking notes for this lesson
This speaking lesson is built on the video “FF2 - UNIT 2: 13 Feelings "When do you feel angry?"”. This video has 29 sentences and 232 words to shadow. The speech runs for 2:18. The speaker talks slowly, about 101 words per minute, so there is time to copy every sound. Only 79% of the words are among the 3,000 most common in English, so the vocabulary is demanding. 13 of its 29 sentences are questions, so it is good practice for question intonation and short answers.

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.
