18
TIP.
19
Thanks.
20
Can you throw me the scissors?
21
Mm -hmm.
22
These are scissors.
23
Not "this is a scissor", And please, Don't catch scissors at home.
24
Okay.
25
Bye.
26
Right now we are assembling the boxes.
27
To assemble the boxes we need tape and scissors.
28
We fold the edges, and tape the box shut so it's ready.
29
to put things inside.
30
I just assembled these cardboard boxes.
31
And we're going to put our things inside them.
32
The first thing we need to put inside A Books.
33
I have loads of books.
34
All my books are on a bookshelf.
35
But if I put these books in one cardboard box then it's going to be too heavy.
36
So I need to divide them Oh.
37
Let's divide these books.
38
So this is a stack of books and I need to put this stack in one box.
39
This is another stack of books.
40
And I'm putting this stack of books in this cardboard box.
41
I'm going to go ahead and put it in the middle of the bag.
42
I'm going to go ahead and get it.
43
I'm going to put the pot on the pot.
44
Thank you.
45
Thank you.
46
Ah.
47
Roger McGough.
48
This is a book that my uncle got me back in the UK.
49
It's a poetry book.
50
I used to actually hate poetry.
51
When I was in school, my teachers taught me Shakespeare.
52
and the language was always too Flowery.
53
But I got into poetry through Roger McGough.
54
He uses a lot of wordplay.
55
He plays with words, he plays with language, and it's fun to read.
56
Thank you.
57
It's also a wonderful way for more advanced learners to pickup English.
58
You get exposed to very nice imagery -rich language.
59
There's also this book, guys.
60
Well, this one is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl.
61
And he's a children's book author. But the...
62
books that he writes are quite dark.
63
quite gruesome.
64
He always has like, interesting villains.
65
And I loved to read those books as a kid.
66
because I enjoyed quite the darkness of it.
67
Always fun to read and the villain usually ends up something bad happening to them.
68
All right.
69
And just before we finish packing the books, Quick vocab.
70
This back part of the book here is called the spine.
71
It's the same word as the big bone that runs in your back, your spine.
72
Books have spines, Humans have spines.
73
Yeah.
74
The next step is to empty my wardrobe.
75
This is my wardrobe and inside my wardrobe I have lots of Thank you quotes.
76
My clothes are hanging. on.
77
hangers.
78
So I'm taking my clothes.
79

81
So guys, I have folded.
82
all of my clothes into a neat pile.
83
This is a pile of clothes.
84
And now I'm going to pack them in the cardboard box.
85
This, green shirt, I actually bought here in Vietnam.
86
and I got it from a tailor.
87
A tailor is somebody who makes clothes.
88
They fit to your body.
89
tailored to your body.
90
And the final thing in this box are a bunch of hangers.
91
Alright, done.
92

About This Lesson
You're practicing English with "Moving House ๐ก Learn English ๐ฌ๐ง Comprehensible Input ๐ฃ๏ธ" using the Shadowing technique โ a method originally developed for professional interpreter training.
Focus on sounding like the speaker โ not just repeating words. With 15โ30 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 โ like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1โ2 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 โ making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
