Creating lesson...
1
Welcome to my channel, let's practice your listening skill.
2
With video level B1, and the topic is delusional.
3
Now listen carefully.
4
Tom, did you see that TikToker again?
5
I swear, this whole bung me drama is getting worse and worse.
6
Of course I saw it.
7
And the more I see, the more I hate her.
8
That girl is not just stupid.
9
She is arrogant and fake as hell.
10
Exactly.
11
First, she said bengmi is for poor and hungry people.
12
Then people found her old videos, and guess what?
13
She used to eat cheap food, cook meals under 150K, live like a normal person.
14
Yeah, that's the funny part.
15
She came from nothing, but now she acts like a rich princess.
16
That is why people say she is like a small fish that touches seawater and thinks she is seafood.
17
And not only bung me, she also talked trash about rice and even instant noodles.
18
She said eating from a food box looks poor.
19
Like, what the hell?
20
That is what normal people eat every day.
21
Exactly.
22
Office workers, students, workers, everyone eats that.
23
And she dares to look down on it?
24
That just shows she has zero respect for real life.
25
And the most annoying thing is, she said she hates bong mi, but when she eats bong mi from a famous brand like Highlands, she suddenly says it is delicious.
26
That's so fake.
27
So in her mind, only branded food is good.
28
Normal street food is poor, but expensive food is amazing?
29
What kind of mindset is that?
30
And she even called herself an ambassador of Highlands.
31
Then Highlands had to come out and say they don't allow her anymore.
32
That is so embarrassing.
33
She deserved it.
34
Honestly, I even saw some shops printing her face and saying, we don't serve this TikToker.
35
People were happy about that.
36
Same here.
37
The whole internet is boycotting her.
38
Brands stop working with her.
39
Events don't invite her anymore.
40
Her image is completely destroyed.
41
And now she acts innocent.
42
She deletes videos, says sorry, says she didn't think carefully.
43
Come on, that apology is fake.
44
She only cares because she is losing money.
45
Exactly.
46
If no one said anything, she would keep talking like that.
47
This is not her first time.
48
She always talks like she is better than everyone.
49
And her friend.
50
That girl is also annoying.
51
She made videos to defend her, but it looks like she just wants views and fame.
52
Yes, she talks a lot but says nothing.
53
Eating and talking, dragging the story, making people more angry.
54
That is not helping.
55
That is making things worse.
56
They are the same type of people.
57
Fake, attention-seeking, and full of nonsense.
58
And did you hear?
59
She even tried to sell her TikTok account for billions.
60
I laughed so hard.
61
That is pure delusion.
62
Yeah, I heard that too.
63
Like, who would pay that much for a channel full of drama and hate?
64
She really thinks she is something special.
65
Honestly, people like her are dangerous.
66
They influence others but have no respect, no understanding, no real value.
67
And now she pays the price.
68
No brand, no trust, no support.
69
That is what happens when your mindset is trash.
70
I still can't believe someone can disrespect a dish like banh mi.
71
It is not just food.
72
It is culture, history, and daily life of Vietnamese people.
73
Exactly.
74
People around the world love Bung Mi.
75
There are even communities with hundreds of thousands of people who admire it.
76
But she looks down on it like it's nothing.
77
The more I think about it, the more I feel angry.
78
She is not just wrong, she is ignorant and disrespectful.
79
Yeah, and honestly, people like her should be boycotted hard.
80
Not just a simple apology and everything is okay.
81
No way.
82
Exactly.
83
Let her learn a real lesson.
84
Drop that fake attitude and stop acting superior.
85
In the end, this drama shows one thing very clearly.
86
Money and followers cannot fix a bad mindset.
87
True.
88
And once people see your real personality, it's over.
89
No one will respect you anymore.

  1. Listen Carefully: Begin by listening to the dialogue without interruption. Focus on understanding the general context and emotions expressed.
  2. Segment the Dialogue: Break the conversation into smaller parts. This will make it easier to imitate the pronunciation and intonation.
  3. Repeat and Imitate: Play a segment and repeat it immediately after the speaker. Pay attention to their rhythm and stress patterns. Use this shadowing site for helpful resources.
  4. Record Yourself: While shadowing, record your voice. Listening to your recordings can help identify areas for improvement in pronunciation and intonation.
  5. Practice Regularly: Incorporate this method into your daily routine to continually enhance your confidence in speaking. Regular practice will aid in your IELTS speaking practice as well.

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.
