Hello.
2
I'm going for a run later.
3
It's very important to exercise.
4
But how can we exercise in a healthy and safe way?
5
Let's find out.
6
Everyone needs to exercise.
7
It's good for our bodies.
8
There are lots of things we can do to exercise.
9
We can swim, run and ride bikes.
10
When we exercise we must do it in the right way.
11
First of all, we have to warm up.
12
Warming Up our muscles means that we don't hurt them when we exercise.
13
Another thing to remember is to use sun cream.
14
When we exercise outside, it's important to protect our skin from the sun.
15
When our body gets hot from exercise, we sweat.
16
This means our body loses water.
17
And so we need to drink water when we exercise.
18
Exercising is lots of fun, but there can be accidents.
19
We can protect our body by wearing special clothes.
20
To protect our elbows and knees, we wear elbow and knee pads.
21
We wear gloves to protect our hands.
22
To protect our head, we wear a helmet.
23
And to protect our eyes, we wear goggles.
24
When we finish exercising, it's also important to do a cool down.
25
Cooling down our muscles means that they won't hurt after we stop exercising.
26
Exercise is something we should all do so we can be strong and healthy.
27
I can't wait to go for my run.
28
Before I go, I've got two questions for you.
29
Before we exercise, what do we need to do so we don't hurt our muscles?
30
That's right, we need to warm up.
31
What do we wear on our head to protect it?
32
That's right, a helmet.
33
Right, I need to get ready for my run.
34
Do you remember what I have to do first?
35
That's right, warm up.
36
See you next time.
37
Bye.

About This Lesson

You're practicing English with "Let's be healthy" using the Shadowing technique — a method originally developed for professional interpreter training.

Focus on sounding like the speaker — not just repeating words. With 15–30 minutes of daily practice, you'll build real-world speaking confidence.

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.
