Welcome to my channel.
2
Let's practice your listening skill.
3
With video level B2 and the topic is, yo -bay.
4
Now listen carefully.
5
Tom, have you seen that crazy drama recently?
6
I swear, I opened my phone just for fun, and suddenly I was stuck watching that video for almost an hour.
7
I couldn't stop.
8
You mean the video by yo -bay, right?
9
Yeah, I watched the whole thing.
10
Honestly, that girl is on another level.
11
She's an international student, IELTS like 8 .5, C2 level, super sharp thinking.
12
And the way she speaks, straight to the point, no fear at all.
13
Exactly.
14
And this is not even her first time.
15
Before this, she already exposed a famous vlogger, then disappeared for six months.
16
Now she came back with this drama, and boom, the whole internet exploded.
17
Yeah, and what she did this time was insane.
18
She didn't just talk randomly.
19
She literally called out their full names, from the father to the son, and then broke down every single thing step by step.
20
It was so detailed and logical.
21
And the family she talked about?
22
Honestly, disgusting is not even enough to describe them.
23
At first, they acted like a normal family, making TikTok videos about their life and promoting their resort.
24
But slowly, everything turned into drama content.
25
Right.
26
Instead of positive content, they started doing weird things just to get attention.
27
Especially the way the brother and sister acted, it was way too close, way too uncomfortable.
28
Anyone watching could feel something was wrong.
29
And when people criticized them, what did they do?
30
Cry on camera, act like victims, talk about pressure?
31
It felt so fake, like they were trying to control people's emotions.
32
Not only that, the volunteer situation was even worse.
33
They called people to live a healthy life, but in reality, those people worked like staff and didn't get paid properly.
34
That's basically exploitation.
35
And don't forget the salary issues, the lack of transparency and how they treated people.
36
It's just dirty.
37
Then that guy suddenly announced he changed his gender, made it a big deal, and later said it was just a media experiment.
38
That is so shameless.
39
Yeah, using sensitive topics like that just for views, that's beyond disgusting.
40
And the way they keep talking about depression every time they get criticized, it feels like they use it as a shield.
41
The worst one for me is the father.
42
That man is literally insane.
43
According to Yobay, he is the one behind everything, planning all the content, controlling both the son and the daughter.
44
Exactly.
45
And after the video came out, his reaction proved everything.
46
He kept posting again and again like a crazy person, attacking Yobay, acting proud because he became the center of attention.
47
That is just embarrassing.
48
Meanwhile, the brother, oh my god, he made a reaction video trying to laugh like everything is fine,
49
but you can clearly see he was dying inside.
50
Even his girlfriend sitting next to him looked uncomfortable, like she couldn't even accept the situation.
51
Yeah, he tried to act cool, but it just made him look more pathetic.
52
And the sister, at least she seems to realize something and wants to change.
53
I actually feel sorry for her.
54
She's like a victim in that family.
55
Same.
56
Out of all of them, she is the only one who deserves sympathy.
57
She grew up in that environment and had no real voice.
58
And then there's that famous guy, let's call him Peter Guy, also jumped into the drama with a reaction video.
59
You know, the one who had cheating scandals with streamers, TikTokers, assistants, even singers.
60
Yeah, that guy talking about morality is already a joke.
61
Like, fix your own life first before judging others.
62
What makes Yobay's videos so powerful is not just the drama, it's how she organized everything clearly with evidence, clips, and timeline.
63
She didn't just attack, she explained.
64
That's why it went viral so fast.
65
Exactly!
66
Over 1 million views in less than a day.
67
That shows how strong the impact is.
68
And honestly, I support her 100%.
69
Same here.
70
People like that family deserve to be called out.
71
They cross the line too many times.
72
This is not content anymore.
73
This is manipulation and exploitation.
74
And you know what?
75
The most ironic thing is they think all attention is good attention.
76
Even when people hate them, they still feel proud.
77
That mindset is just sick.
78
Yeah, but I think people are getting smarter now.
79
Many are choosing to block them, ignore them, and stop giving them views.
80
That's the best way to deal with this kind of content.
81
After watching that video, I feel two things.
82
Respect for Yo -Bei and disgust for that family.
83
Same.
84
Respect for her courage and intelligence.
85
And honestly, that family, just pure embarrassment.
86
Tom, have you seen that crazy drama recently?

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.
