Welcome to my channel, Let's Practice Your Listening Skill, with video level A1, and the topic is Big Boss.
2
Now listen carefully.
3
Hey Linda, are you still studying?
4
It's getting dark already.
5
Jerry, why are you...
6
Oh my God, what happened to you?
7
Huh?
8
Nothing.
9
It's just a small fight.
10
Small fight?
11
Your shirt is torn, your face is swollen, and your hand is bleeding.
12
Jerry, are you crazy?
13
Relax.
14
I'm fine.
15
Fine?
16
Look at yourself.
17
Sit down right now.
18
Wow.
19
The top student is giving orders now.
20
Stop joking.
21
What if something bad happened to you?
22
What if you got hurt badly?
23
Linda, it's okay.
24
I'm strong.
25
I don't care if you are strong.
26
You fight every week.
27
One day something terrible will happen.
28
Those boys talked badly about my friend.
29
I had to protect him.
30
You are a student, not a gangster.
31
But I am the boss of this school.
32
Boss?
33
That is not something to be proud of.
34
Everyone is scared of me.
35
Even the teachers know my name.
36
Exactly.
37
That is the problem.
38
You always fight, skip class, and play games.
39
You act like a bad boy all day.
40
And you act like a robot all day.
41
Study, study, study.
42
Do you even sleep?
43
I study because I have dreams.
44
And I fight because I protect people.
45
There are many ways to protect people without fighting.
46
Maybe, but fighting is faster.
47
Jerry!
48
Okay, okay, don't be angry.
49
Come here, let me clean your hand.
50
Huh?
51
You worry about me that much?
52
Of course I worry.
53
Every time you disappear after school, I think, did Jerry fight again?
54
Wow, the school genius really cares about me.
55
Stop talking.
56
Your hand is dirty.
57
Ouch, be gentle.
58
Good.
59
It hurts, right?
60
Then stop fighting.
61
Yeah.
62
Promise me.
63
Linda, sometimes I can't avoid it.
64
No, promise me you will stop.
65
Okay, I will try.
66
Not try, promise.
67
Fine, I promise.
68
Good.
69
But honestly, your life is boring too.
70
Why?
71
Because you only know books.
72
Every day I see you here with math books, English books, science books.
73
That is called studying.
74
That is called suffering.
75
At least I don't come home with blood on my face.
76
Fair point.
77
Wait, why are you smiling?
78
Because you look cute when you're angry.
79
Jerry!
80
Okay, sorry.
81
Now go home and rest.
82
No. Why not?
83
I want to sit here with you.
84
I need to study.
85
Then study.
86
I will sit quietly.
87
Since when does Jerry sit quietly?
88
Since Jerry likes a someone who studies too much.
89
Do… What?
90
Why are you quiet now?
91
Nothing.
92
Your face is red.
93
It's hot.
94
Really?
95
Then why are your ears red?
96
Jerry, stop it.
97
Okay, okay.
98
But seriously, you should study more, too.
99
If you fail the exam, what will happen?
100
Linda, I'm not stupid.
101
I know, but you never study.
102
That's what everyone thinks.
103
Then solve this math question.
104
Easy.
105
Huh?
106
Give me the pen.
107
Wait, you really know how to do it?
108
Of course.
109
Do… Um… done.
110
The answer is 100.
111
What?
112
That's correct.
113
See?
114
I told you.
115
I'm smart.
116
Then why do you act like a troublemaker all day?
117
Because school is boring.
118
Fighting is more fun.
119
Jerry!
120
Okay, okay.
121
No more fighting.
122
Promise?
123
Promise.
124
And you must study, too.
125
Only if you study with me.
126

128

Why Practice Speaking with This Video?
Practicing your speaking skills using engaging content like this video can significantly enhance your English learning experience. In the scenario presented, the conversation between Jerry and Linda introduces lively and relatable dialogues that reflect real-life situations students might encounter. By shadowing these interactions, you'll not only improve your pronunciation but also gain confidence in your speaking abilities.
Using shadow speech techniques, you can mimic the natural flow of conversation displayed in the video. This method allows you to internalize vocabulary and phrases while improving your intonation and rhythm. Moreover, the struggles and perspectives of characters like Jerry—who takes pride in being a school 'boss'—offer a gateway to discuss themes of bravery, friendship, and conflict resolution in English, making your practice multifaceted and contextual.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
Throughout the dialogue, several key grammatical structures and expressions stand out, making them essential for your own speaking practice:
- Present Continuous Tense: The phrase "are you still studying?" highlights this tense, which emphasizes actions that are currently happening. Practicing such structures will help you formulate sentences describing ongoing actions.
- Imperatives: Jerry says, "Sit down right now." This use of direct commands is common in everyday English. Learning to give directions or requests will enhance your conversational skills.
- Contrastive Clauses: Linda's expression, "But I am the boss of this school," showcases how to compare different ideas effectively. Understanding and practicing this can make your speech more nuanced.
- Questions for Clarification: Phrases like "What happened to you?" teach you how to express concern in conversations. This is crucial for developing empathetic communication skills.
Incorporating these expressions into your own speaking can help you prepare for situations you may encounter during IELTS speaking practice.
Common Pronunciation Traps
As you engage with the conversation, pay attention to potential pronunciation pitfalls:
- Swollen: Watch out for the pronunciation of "swollen," which can be tricky due to its vowel sounds. It's important to emphasize the 'o' and 'l' sounds clearly.
- Crazy: The word "crazy" often leads to different accents; spending time practicing it can help you achieve a more neutral English accent.
- Torn: Understanding how to pronounce "torn" despite its spelling can help you sound more fluent. Focus on the silent 'r' and short vowel sound.
By shadowing the accents and stress patterns found in the video, you can further enhance your speaking skills. This practice lets you learn English with YouTube content effectively while you develop essential communication skills for both casual conversations and academic contexts.
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.
