Good morning, Anna.
4
Good morning, Tom.
5
I feel so tired today.
6
Tired?
7
Are you sick again, or did you stay up late to study?
8
I stayed up late last night to study.
9
I have many exams soon, so I must study a lot.
10
I know exams are important, but you must take care of your health, too.
11
I know.
12
Don't worry.
13
You should also study more, not only care about me.
14
Did you eat anything this morning?
15
Did you have breakfast?
16
No, I woke up late, so I came to school right away.
17
My parents are on a business trip, so there's nothing at home.
18
I knew it.
19
My mom told me to bring breakfast for you.
20
Here, eat this.
21
Again?
22
You brought food for me yesterday, too.
23
Yeah, my mom knows your parents are not at home, so she thinks you don't eat well.
24
She cooked extra food and told me to bring it to you so you have energy to study.
25
Really?
26
Your mom said that?
27
She has never even met me.
28
Are you lying?
29
Well, she hasn't met you, but I told her we are close friends, so she likes you too.
30
Your mom is so kind, and the food is very good.
31
After school, I will go to your house to say thank you to her.
32
No, no, you don't need to.
33
My mom is very busy, and it's just food.
34
No need to say thanks.
35
No, I must.
36
If she cooks for me, I should say thank you.
37
Really, it's okay.
38
You need to go home early, rest, and study more.
39
Why don't you let me meet your mom?
40
Is there something you hide?
41
No, nothing.
42
My mom is just busy, and you are busy too.
43
I am not busy.
44
Or this food is not from your mom, right?
45
Did you buy it?
46
No, I did not buy it.
47
Then who made it?
48
This is too good.
49
If you don't let me meet your mom, then it is not her cooking.
50
You are hiding something.
51
Tell me, did you buy it from a restaurant?
52
I said I did not buy it.
53
Then where is it from?
54
It is not from your mom, and it cannot be you.
55
Why can't it be me?
56
Because you cannot cook like this.
57
I have never seen you cook before.
58
And why would you cook for me?
59
What if I really made it?
60
I don't believe you.
61
You would not wake up early, buy food, cook and bring it for me.
62
And all dishes are my favorite?
63
You are not that caring.
64
Tell me the truth.
65
Just eat.

Why practice speaking with this video?
This video offers an excellent opportunity to enhance your English speaking practice at the A1 level, particularly focusing on the theme of care and friendship. The dialogue between Anna and Tom highlights common scenarios that beginners face, such as discussing health and daily routines. This context not only makes the content relatable but also encourages learners to engage with real-life conversations. By listening and repeating after the speakers, you can improve your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation. Utilizing the shadowing technique, you can mimic the speech patterns and vocal inflections of native speakers, making your learning more effective.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
As you engage with the dialogue, pay attention to valuable grammatical structures and expressions. Here are a few key ones to note:
- “Did you eat anything this morning?” - This question structure is essential for beginners, encouraging them to practice asking about daily activities.
- “You must take care of your health, too.” - This phrase introduces the modal verb "must", which indicates obligation and can be practiced in various contexts.
- “I knew it.” - This expression conveys understanding or realization, which can be useful in conversational English.
- “You are hiding something.” - The use of the simple present tense here helps learners understand how to express opinions and assumptions effectively.
Incorporating these phrases into your vocabulary will help you articulate thoughts more clearly. Practice saying them in different scenarios to ensure you become comfortable in using them.
Common Pronunciation Traps
While practicing with the video, be aware of a few pronunciation challenges that can arise:
- “Breakfast” - This word is often pronounced incorrectly due to its combination of sounds. Focus on articulating the "break" and "fast" separately while keeping the flow natural.
- “Really?” - Native speakers often reduce this word in rapid speech, making it sound more like “rilly.” Practice mimicking this to sound more natural in conversations.
- “Food” - This short vowel sound can be tricky for learners. Ensure you don’t elongate it, as in “f-u-d,” but rather keep it concise.
By honing in on these pronunciation traps, you will enhance your overall clarity and confidence in speaking. Engage with the video using the learn English with YouTube approach, repeating phrases aloud to strengthen your skills.
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.
