Shadowing Practice: How to perform CPR - A Step-by-Step Guide - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
I'm here to show you what to do if you see someone suddenly collapse and they don't seem to be responsive.
2
First step, we're going to ensure that there is no danger.
3
Then we're going to check for response from the person.
4
We're going to ask them a few questions and we might actually even pinch their shoulders to see if they'll respond.
5
Hello?
6
Can you hear me?
7
What's your name?
8
Squeeze my hands.
9
This person is not responsive.
10
So the next step is to send for help.
11
The number in Australia to call emergency services is 000.
12
At this stage I would also encourage as soon as bystander support arrives for them to locate the nearest defibrillator
13
and get that over to us as soon as possible.
14
Next, we're going to check the person's airway.
15
We're going to tilt their head back, open up their airway and check if there's anything obstructing.
16
No obstructions, we're going to check if this person is breathing.
17
So we're going to look over the person's chest
18
and what we're looking for is that normal gentle rise that our chest does when we're breathing.
19
going to listen for any sign of normal breathing
20
and we can also feel
21
that chest for any sign of breathing the person is not responsive
22
and they are not breathing or they're not breathing normally
23
so we need to start cpr to locate where we're going
24
to place our hands on the person's chest we can go
25
to their underarms with our pointer fingers coming to the center of their chest And then with the heel of our palm,
26
we're going to place the hand down, keeping our arms straight, interlocking our other arm,
27
leaning over the person's chest, and we are going to push.
28
Now we're actually going to push hard and fast.
29
We're going to push about a third of
30
that person's depth of their chest and we're going to also allow for that chest to rise back to its normal position.
31
Now we're pushing at a beat of about 100 to 120 compressions a minute.
32
If we're willing and able we can do rescue breaths.
33
So to do a rescue breath we're actually going to tilt the person's head back, pinch their nose, open up the airway,
34
and I would put my mouth over the person's mouth, forming a seal, and I would offer one breath,
35
two breaths, and then I would come back to my chest compressions.
36
Now I'm getting a bit tired, so I'm going to get that bystander support.
37
and I'm going to communicate really clearly for a smooth handover for minimal time off the chest.
38
One, two, three.
39
And I'll take over again.
40
Three, two, one.
41
So I've just demonstrated how to do CPR.
42
Our next video will demonstrate how to use a defibrillator.
43
Don't forget, CPR can save a life.

Learn CPR Vocabulary & Practice English Speaking with This Video
Speaking Goals for This Clip
This video is perfect for building clear, step-by-step communication—a key fluency milestone. Whether you’re explaining a process, giving instructions, or describing an emergency, the dialogue teaches you to organize ideas logically. You’ll practice using sequence words (“first step,” “next,” “then”) and imperative phrases (“tilt their head back,” “push hard and fast”) to guide listeners. It’s also great for improving confident pronunciation in high-stakes scenarios, where clarity can save lives—and in English speaking practice, clarity builds confidence.Phrase Bank: Reusable Expressions
- “Ensure that there is no danger” – A critical safety check, useful in any emergency context.
- “Check for response” – How to describe assessing someone’s awareness.
- “Locate the nearest defibrillator” – A specific, high-utility phrase for emergency situations.
- “Push hard and fast” – Concise instructions for chest compressions (and great for teaching rhythm in speech).
- “Forming a seal” – Describes creating a tight closure, useful in medical or practical tasks.
- “Smooth handover for minimal time off the chest” – A professional way to talk about transferring responsibility.
Fix Your Weak Spots: Pronunciation & Rhythm
The video’s steady, instructional tone is ideal for practicing clear, deliberate speech. Notice how the speaker stresses key words like “push,” “breaths,” and “handover” to emphasize importance—this is how native speakers guide listeners. Use a shadowing app or shadowspeak technique to mimic the rhythm: compressions are “100 to 120 compressions a minute,” so practice saying that phrase with the same steady pace. Also, focus on vowel sounds in words like “obstructing” (ahb-STRUK-ting) and “defibrillator” (dee-FIB-rih-LAY-tor)—these can trip up learners, but repeating them with the video will sharpen your pronunciation. By practicing with this clip, you’ll not only learn life-saving CPR steps but also boost your English speaking skills—proving that real-world content is the best tool for improve english pronunciation and fluency. Keep shadow speak sessions short, focus on one phrase at a time, and you’ll notice progress quickly!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.
