Today, I will tell you about a very common activity in the daily life of Vietnamese people.
2
It is going to the market.
3
From the city to the countryside, the market is always the most busiest place because it is usually located in crowded residential areas.
4
When you visit here, you will see people display their goods on wooden stalls, small tables, or on the ground.
5
Each area in the market often sells a specific type of product, such as vegetables, meat, fish, clothes, or household items.
6
There are several reasons why Vietnamese people like going to the market.
7
First, the products here are very fresh because vegetables are often harvested on the same day, and fish or shrimp are just caught from the sea in the early morning.
8
Second, the market is always busy and lively, with familiar sounds such as sellers calling out, buyers bargaining, and people talking to each other.
9
Especially when you walk into the market, you can smell many scents mixed together, which creates a really special shopping experience.
10
Unlike supermarkets, prices in the market are not fixed, so you can easily bargain to get a better price.
11
Besides, everyone often knows each other, so the market is also a good place where people can meet, chat, and share news in the neighborhood.
12
Apart from goods, it also has many food stalls for people to eat.
13
So that's why the market is not only a place to shop, enjoy delicious food, but also to experience the daily life of Vietnamese people.
14
How about you?
15
Do you often go to the market?

About This Lesson

You're practicing English with "LUYỆN NGHE TIẾNG ANH GIAO TIẾP THEO CHỦ ĐỀ - ĐI CHỢ #englishlistening #tienganhgiaotiep" 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.
