Vocabulary and speaking notes for this lesson
This B2 speaking lesson is built on the video “[Luyện nghe] 600 Essential Words For The TOEIC - Lesson 1 Contracts”. The speaker keeps coming back to these words: agreement, contract, provision, cancel, relate. This video has 63 sentences and 644 words to shadow. The speech runs for 5:59. The speaker talks slowly, about 108 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.

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.
