Creating lesson...
1
So, I would like to ask you, why would people travel?
2
To experience what they have never experienced before, or to eat what they have never eaten before?
3
In my opinion, young students, especially young students, travel to try all of them too.
4
Because all the things they have is time, because of the most.
5
And to make such two, I would like to suggest,
6
sorry for that, I would like to suggest the two major campaigns to make Babning more appearance with tourists,
7
the foreign tourists and the in-country tourists.
8
First of all, Babnik has a lot of unique features, unique traditional village, such as traditional wood village.
9
We have Donkir village and Donkho traditional village with lots of painting.
10
But the problem is that there is no place that gathers all of that unique features.
11
So we would like to establish such as establishing a place named Babnik city.
12
It's a Z with a Z, not ZD.
13
Bumling City is a place for people, visitors to come see and try.
14
So what example are they seeing and trying?
15
They will see the local artists in the process of creating stuff
16
and interact with them as well as try them out too.
17
And this place should be located right here. Where?
18
To such city, there's many regions.
19
The biggest, the greatest region to think about is right next to our capital.
20
You know, Hanoi.
21
And this center should be suitable for all nations, all nationalities to come explore.
22
Second, I would like to start, I would like to talk about marketing.
23
A good product would never reach the target audience without a problem marketing.
24
So, a target audience without a marketing.
25
So, I would like to suggest hiring a marketing team, a marketing team, hiring because I have zero experience on marketing,
26
a marketing team who can come up with a campaign, a right campaign to introduce the cool things,
27
the great things about the culture of government to everyone around the world, around Vietnam.
28
start from Vietnam, then start to go to all the world.
29
And nowadays the social media and national media are getting crazy.
30
Super crazy.
31
Because it's powerful to anybody always if you don't use the advantage of it.
32
So, that's two major suggestions that I will talk about today.
33
That's quite short.
34
Sorry, not much time.
35
Thanks for listening.
36
Congratulations.
37
Congratulations.
38
Congratulations.
39
What is your name?
40
It's too hard to reach for me.
41
Tea.
42
I like that bit.
43
Tea.
44
So you were talking about how to make marketing better for visitors, right?
45
Hmmmm, you know I think it's talking about public model, purists for visitors.
46
Okay, that's right.
47
So I would like to know, if I'm a visitor and I speak English, right?
48
Why?
49
How can it be more appealing for English speakers?
50
What would you put in?
51
What cinema, what would you do to make it more appealing for English speakers?
52
That's a very good question actually.
53
And the good question is actually the hard question.
54
For English speakers, we are talking about two thirds of a bubbling city, a centre that gathered over the great thing of,
55
you know, I would like to add a small district.
56
This actually is a suggestion from my teacher, because I would like to add a small district.
57
This would be like, you know the Chinatown in Europe, yeah?
58
A small district for English speakers.
59
And all the marketing projects, all the marketing campaigns will be used in English language, because it's an Asian language.
60
The whole word, the whole word is used.
61
That's what I'm saying.
62
Thanks!
63
Good morning, Tay.
64
Good morning.
65
Good recovery after the video.
66
And the video, it's just validly a problem.
67
The viewer just got some random things.
68
Absolutely no problem.
69
I know it can be very difficult standing up there.
70
Well done.
71
Oh, thanks.
72
Alright, Risa Tay, so my question is, there's a national World Heritage site in Bucketing.
73
Yes.
74
Are you aware of this?
75
Yes, we do have a unique subject, it's called Harrahot, and in English it's called Folsom.
76
But with me, Folsom, we need some songs, you can listen to it everywhere.
77
And Folsom is also a unique feature, so I would like to add that in the sections of Boundary City, that's sensitive.
78
We'll have everything, every cool thing, every great, future thing that we have.
79
Yeah, exactly what I was about to say.
80
Obviously, you can use this to make rock music a lot more appealing to a foreigner, for example.
81
And yeah, that's all I wanted to thank you very much.
82
Good answer.
83
That's a very good one.
84
I see.
85
Okay.
86
Hello, Ty.
87
How are you?
88
It's like nervous.
89
Very nervous.
90
Yeah, I see.
91
I can see that.
92
You're quite nervous, but you're handling it really well.
93
I really appreciate that.
94
So my question to you is, let's just imagine, let's talk about something hypothetical here.
95
So I am an entrepreneur.
96
I'm going to open up a business here in my business.
97
Can you please tell me, can you suggest me what kind of a business I should start up here in my business to attract more visitors?
98
It could be, let me give you examples here, it could be restaurants, it could be pubs maybe.
99
But what would you suggest and why?
100
I would suggest food.
101
You know, the thing that connects to our heart is through the house.
102
New food!
103
Food could come through here.
104
Yeah, food connects everyone.
105
It might be new food, but food do connect everyone.
106
And in my section it's not about a restaurant, that fine dining restaurant is too expensive.
107
With Vietnamese people and might be with tourists too.
108
So I would like to suggest the street food section.
109
Just, just, you just need a small little bike with a lot of tables and chairs, go for some random sidewalks.
110
Put that chair down, put the table down.
111
Hello, selling bread, 100% natural bread, hopefully.
112
Hello.
113
Would you like to buy some bread?
114
Would you like to buy some chocolate?
115
Would you like to buy some things?
116
Food.
117
Okay, so here's the thing.
118
We are already asking you three questions, but we are supposed to ask you four questions.
119
So, unless there is any other...
120
So, I'm going to ask you a follow-up question with the food one.
121
Oh, so you focus on food, fine dining, etc. You talk about sweet food.
122
How would you ensure the hygiene when it comes to sweet food?
123
Because as you know, or as you might know, most of the foreigners visiting from outside Vietnam have lots of troubles
124
when it comes to getting accustomed to the food, you know?
125
We might have trouble when it comes to that.
126
How would you ensure that hygiene?
127
The problem there is knowledge.
128
To be knowledge is power.
129
The street food we open mostly do speak English.
130
For some reason I shouldn't understand that.
131
They interact with foreign everyday students.
132
Even the newbie could speak English.
133
But not all of them.
134
So, we suggest that there is just body language.
135
We have a lot of ways to communicate with each other.
136
We have body language, we have study, we have knowledge about the language.
137
We have to talk about the language.
138
So, we should go to foreign language, but as free food, it might be a little harsh section for people to comment, but just do foreign language.
139
So, how many is this bread?
140
Have you seen this?
141
Two.
142
Two what?
143
Two thousand dollars.
144
Right.
145
Okay, well thank you very much.
146
Thank you.
147
Well thanks all your attention.
148
Thanks all your listening.
149
Have an after.

Practice Tips

To effectively enhance your speaking skills through shadowspeak, focus on the rhythm and intonation used in the video transcript. Since the speech has a natural flow and clarity, try to replicate this by employing a shadowing app to listen and repeat phrases. Start by practicing at a slower pace to fully grasp the expressions being used. As you grow comfortable, gradually increase the speed to match that of the speaker. Aim to mimic not only the words but also the emotional resonance and emphasis placed on specific phrases.

Moreover, take note of the important pauses and the speaker's enthusiasm in discussing travel and cultural promotion. By actively engaging with the content and employing shadow speech techniques, you will bolster your confidence and ability to communicate effectively in English, especially when discussing nuanced subjects like tourism. Remember to practice regularly and record your speech to track your improvement over time!

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.
