Okay.
560
Here you are.
561
Thanks.
562
I'll be right back.
563
Okay.
564
Here you are.
565
Here's your receipt.
566
Thank you.
567
You're welcome.
568
Please come again.
569
Next, please.
570
Hello.
571
How can I help you?
572
I'd like to buy a ticket for New York.
573
Would you like one-way or round-trip?
574
Round-trip.
575
When will you be leaving?
576
When does the next plane leave? In about two hours.
577
I'd like a ticket for that flight, please.
578
First class or coach?
579
Coach.
580
Okay, let me check availability.
581
I'm sorry.
582
Tickets for that flight are sold out.
583
How about the one after that?
584
Let me see.
585
That one has seats available.
586
Would you like me to reserve a seat for you?
587
Yes, please.
588
That'll be $120.
589
Okay.
590
Thank you.
591
Here's your change.
592
Michelle, can you help me clean things up before we go?
593
Sure.
594
Where should I put this cup? Which cup?
595
The red one.
596
Put it on the table.
597
How about this fruit?
598
Oh, that goes in the refrigerator. And those pencils?
599
What should I do with them?
600
Bring those upstairs and put them in the bedroom.
601
How about this pen?
602
Give it to me, please.
603
I need to use it.
604
What do you want me to do with that paper over there?
605
You can throw that away.
606
I don't need it anymore.
607
The trash is full.
608
All right.
609
Then please put it in a bag and take it outside.
610
Okay.
611
Now what?
612
I think we're finished.
613
Can you please turn off the lights and shut the door?
614
Sure.
615
This looks like a nice restaurant.
616
Yeah, it is.
617
I come here all the time.
618
Let's sit over there.
619
Okay.
620
Can you pass me a menu, please?
621
Sure.
622
What are you going to have to drink?
623
I'm going to have a glass of beer.
624
How about you?
625
I think I'll have a glass of wine.
626
Do you want to order an appetizer first?
627
Not really.
628
Maybe we can just order some bread.
629
Okay.
630
What are you going to have to eat?
631
I'm not sure.
632
I haven't decided yet.
633
Can you recommend something?
634
Sure.
635
I've had the steak and lobster before.
636
They're both very good.
637
I think I'll have the lobster.
638
What are you going to have?
639
I'm not that hungry.
640
I think I'm just going to have a salad.
641
I'm going to go to the bathroom.
642
When the waitress comes back, will you order for me?
643
Sure.
644
No problem.
645
Hi, Anna.
646
Come in.
647
Wow.
648
Your apartment is a mess.
649
I know.
650
I didn't have time to put things away before you got here.
651
Look, are those all your clothes on the couch?
652
Yes. Are they clean?
653
Actually, most of them are dirty.
654
I haven't done laundry in a while.
655
I usually wait until I can do it at my parents' house.
656
My sister and I usually go to the laundromat down the street.
657
Why don't you go there?
658
I know I should, but that place isn't very convenient.
659
You have to wait a long time.
660
Yes, I know.
661
I have to do it every week.
662
Anyway, are you ready to go?
663
No, I'm not ready yet.
664
I still have to brush my teeth and wash my face.
665
Can you wait a few minutes?
666
Okay, but please hurry.
667
I think the restaurant is closing soon.
668
Pam, where's the closest ATM?
669
It's not that far.
670
Do you see that yellow building over there?
671
The big one or the small one?
672
The big one.
673
Yes.
674
It's right next to it, on the right.
675
Do you know if there's a convenience store around here?
676
I don't think there's one around here.
677
The closest one is on 3rd Street, but that's probably closed now.
678
I really need to get some things before I leave.
679
Well, you could go down to 22nd Street.
680
There are a lot of stores down there that are open 24 hours a day.
681
Can I take the subway to get there?
682
Yes, but that'll probably take about a half an hour.
683
You should just take a cab.
684
Won't that be expensive?
685
No. From here, I think it's only about five dollars.
686
Professor, where's Canada?
687
Canada is north of here.
688
Can you show me on the map?
689
Sure.
690
Look here.
691
Canada is north of the United States.
692
Oh, I see.
693
Where's Mexico?
694
Mexico is south of the United States.
695
How about Connecticut?
696
Where's that?
697
Connecticut is east of New York.
698
What state is west of Pennsylvania?
699
Ohio.
700
Okay.
701
Where's Los Angeles?
702
Los Angeles is in California.
703
It's southeast of San Francisco.
704
Where's Boston?
705
Boston is in the northeast part of the country. Where is Las Vegas?
706
Las Vegas is in the southwest.
707
Hi, Maria.
708
Did you have breakfast yet?
709
Yes.
710
I ate at the hotel with my son and my husband.
711
Oh, they have good food there.
712
What did you have?
713
I had some cereal, fried eggs, and orange juice.
714
How was it?
715
The food didn't taste very good, and actually, I don't feel very well now.
716
That's too bad.
717
Do you want to take a break?
718
No, I'm going back to the hotel at lunchtime to lie down.
719
Okay.
720
I'm going to the drugstore later.
721
Is there anything I can get for you?
722
No, that's okay.
723
I think if I rest for a little while, I'll feel better.
724
Ann, what do you want to do tonight?
725
I'd like to go see a movie.
726
I heard Titanic is playing at the movie theater.
727
Oh, I've heard that's a good movie.
728
What time does it start?
729
6.30.
730
It's a long movie.
731
I heard it lasts for about three hours.
732
Will you come and pick me up?
733
What time?
734
I think we should get there early, because they might be sold out.
735
Is five okay?
736
Yes, that'll be fine.
737
I'll meet you at your house at five.
738
Do you want to get something to eat before the movie?
739
I'm not sure if there will be enough time for that.
740
We can have popcorn and hot dogs at the theater if you want.
741
I don't like the popcorn they have there.
742
I think they put too much salt on it.
743
Okay, then.
744
I'll pick you up a little earlier, and we can go to the Thai restaurant next to the theater.
745
Is that okay?
746
Yes, I like that place.
747
How do you like the food?
748
It tastes really great.
749
Did you cook it?
750
Yes.
751
I made it this afternoon.
752
Would you like some more?
753
Okay.
754
Just a little, though.
755
I'm really full.
756
Oh.
757
Would you like some soup instead?
758
What kind is it?
759
Tomato and rice.
760
Have you had that before?
761
No. This is my first time.
762
How does it taste?
763
It's good.
764
Try it.
765
What do you think?
766
Wow, it is good.
767
Did you make that also?
768
Yes.
769
You're a really good cook.
770
Thanks.
771
Next time I'll make chicken soup for us. That sounds good.
772
Did you study cooking in school?
773
No, I learned by myself.
774
I have a good cookbook that I read when I have time.
775
Kelly, will you help me take these things to the car?
776
Okay.
777
Which car do you want me to put them in?
778
Bring them to my wife's car.
779
Which one is hers?
780
The blue SUV in front of the Honda.
781
What should I take first? That chair over there.
782
But please be careful with it.
783
It was a gift from my mother-in-law.
784
Don't worry.
785
I won't drop it.
786
Wow, it's really heavy.
787
I don't think I can move it by myself.
788
Let me help you with that.
789
I don't want you to hurt your back.
790
Where are you taking all this stuff?
791
Didn't I tell you?
792
We're moving to Florida.
793
You're moving now?
794
I knew you were moving, but I thought you said you were moving next month.
795
Yes, that's true.
796
But my wife found a new apartment on the Internet the other day, and she wants to move right away.
797
Judy, your husband has a really nice car.
798
Thanks.
799
It's a lot better than mine, and it's new. Where are you going?
800
We're going to visit my sister in the city.
801
I didn't know your sister lives in the city.
802
When did she move there?
803
About a year ago.
804
She lives in an apartment on 3rd Street, across from the public library.
805
I see.
806
It's almost 5 now.
807
Don't you think there will be a lot of traffic?
808
Oh, we're not driving.
809
We're going to take the subway.
810
The subway only takes about 20 minutes.
811
Yes, but it can be very crowded around this time.
812
I always feel uncomfortable taking the subway.
813
I take the subway to work every day, so I'm used to it now.
814
Doesn't your mother live in the city?
815
Yes, she's lived there for about ten years.
816
I remember when she moved there.
817
Apartments were a lot cheaper then.
818
I know what you mean.
819
It's hard to find anything that's reasonable now. Have a good time.
820
Next time you're free, give me a call, and we'll go play poker.
821
See you later.
822
Jim, I heard you took a trip to San Diego.
823
Is that right?
824
Yeah.
825
I just got back this morning. That sounds really nice.
826
What did you do there?
827
Well, we were only there for three days, so we didn't do too much.
828
We went shopping and went out to dinner a few times, and at night we walked around the city with some friends.
829
Did you take any pictures?
830
Yes, I have them with me.
831
Do you want to look at them?
832
Sure.
833
I love looking at photos.
834
This one is of my wife and me on the beach.
835
And this one is our daughter Emily, standing next to my wife.
836
Your daughter looks like her mother.
837
I know.
838
They look very similar.
839
Where was this picture taken?
840
That was taken at the train station before we left.
841
Did you have time to go to the zoo?
842
No, not this time.
843
We went there last time.
844
It looks like you all had a nice time.
845
Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
846
Good afternoon.
847
How may I help you?
848
Hi.
849
I'd like to order some flowers. Who are they for?
850
They're for my wife.
851
Her name is Samantha.
852
What kind of flowers would you like?
853
I don't know.
854
I don't know too much about flowers.
855
Can you recommend something?
856
Okay.
857
What's the reason you're sending her flowers?
858
Today's her birthday, and she told me she wants me to buy her flowers.
859
Do you know what kind of flowers she likes?
860
I'm not sure.
861
I know I should know that, but I can't remember right now.
862
Well, they're for your wife, so I think you should give her roses.
863
Roses will be fine.
864
What color?
865
I think red would be nice.
866
Do you want to pick them up, or should we deliver them?
867
Can you deliver them, please?
868
What's the address?
869
241 Main Street.
870
Hello?
871
Hi.
872
Is Heather there, please?
873
Sorry.
874
I think you have the wrong number. Is this 617-228-2289?
875
Yes.
876
Who are you looking for again?
877
Heather Johnson.
878
Oh, I thought you said Laura.
879
Sorry about that.
880
This is the right number, but Heather's not here right now.
881
Do you know where she went?
882
She went to the store to buy some groceries.
883
Would you like to leave a message?
884
Yes.
885
Would you please tell her Eric Martin called?
886
Hi, Eric.
887
This is her roommate Kathy.
888
I met you a couple of months ago at the Christmas party.
889
Oh, yes.
890
How are you?
891
Good.
892
Heather will be back in about twenty minutes.
893
I'll tell her you called.
894
Okay.
895
Thanks.
896
Bye-bye.
897
Hello?
898
Hi, Tina.
899
It's Joe.
900
Hi, Joe.
901
How's the weather there today?
902
It's really cold.
903
It snowed all day and the schools closed early.
904
What's the temperature?
905
It's 30 degrees now.
906
It was even colder this morning this morning.
907
Have you heard what the weather is going to be like tomorrow?
908
I was watching the news a little earlier.
909
They said it's probably going to snow tomorrow.
910
I really don't like the winter.
911
I wish it were summer.
912
Me too.
913
How's the weather where you are?
914
It's not too bad, but it's pretty cold here, too.
915
It was about 45 today, and it rained this afternoon.
916
I heard it's going to be a little warmer tomorrow.
917
It's almost Christmas.
918
What are you doing this weekend?
919
Nothing special.
920
Just working.
921
Why do you ask?
922
Well, I still haven't finished my Christmas shopping.
923
Do you want to go shopping with me this weekend?
924
I'd like to, but I'm not sure if I can.
925
Work has been really busy lately.
926
Why don't we go on Friday instead?
927
Friday's not good.
928
I think the stores will be very crowded, and I have to work.
929
Okay, then let's try to go this weekend.
930
I should know if I can go by Friday.
931
Is it okay if I call you then?
932
Yeah, that's fine.
933
What's your number?
934
223-331-8828 Let me give you my email address, too.
935
It's tom861 at gmail.com Okay.
936
I'll talk to you soon.
937
Okay.
938
Hello?
939
Hi, Vicki. Are you there yet?
940
Yes.
941
I just got off the subway.
942
I'm almost there.
943
Sorry I'm late.
944
That's no problem.
945
I just wanted to tell you I'm inside. Where are you? On the second floor.
946
Should I come to the second floor, or do you want to come down to the first floor?
947
Come upstairs.
948
What?
949
Oh, can you hear me okay?
950
I said come to the second floor.
951
Oh, okay.
952
What are you doing there?
953
Just looking at some books on how to learn English.
954
Do you want to get something to eat later?
955
No, I'm still full from dinner.
956
What do you want to do?
957
I don't know for sure.
958
When you get here, we'll talk about it.
959
Okay.
960
See you soon.
961
Bye.
962
Craig, what do you do for work?
963
I'm still a student.
964
What school do you go to?
965
Boston University.
966
That's a good school.
967
What do you study?
968
I'm studying English, math, and history.
969
My major is English.
970
How long have you been studying English?
971
More than six years.
972
That's a long time.
973
Yeah.
974
I started to learn English when I was in high school.
975
No wonder your English is so good.
976
Actually, it's not that good.
977
I can read, but I can't speak very well.
978
I haven't had a lot of chance to practice.
979
I see.
980
Talking with other people is very important.
981
Yes, but I still don't have many friends here yet.
982
I'm having a party tonight at my apartment.
983
You should come.
984
Oh, thanks for inviting me.
985
I'd love to come.
986
Hi, Kim.
987
Hey, Sean.
988
Good to see you again.
989
How have you been?
990
Okay.
991
I didn't sleep much last night, though.
992
I stayed up until 2 a.m studying for an exam.
993
I was up late last night, too.
994
The semester is almost over.
995
I've had exams all week.
996
Are you going back to California after you graduate?
997
I think so.
998
After I graduate, I'll probably go back home and try to get a job.
999
Do you know where you'd like to work?
1000
Not yet, but I want to be an English translator.
1001
That'd be really cool.
1002
I'd like to be a translator, too, but I don't think my English is good enough.
1003
Don't worry about that.
1004
Your English is better than most of my classmates.
1005
Thanks.
1006
Where are you going now?
1007
I'm going to study at the library.
1008
I have to take an exam tomorrow.
1009
Me too.
1010
How late does the library stay open?
1011
I think it's open until 11.30.
1012
Okay.
1013
Good luck.
1014
You too.
1015
Hello?
1016
Hi, Angela.
1017
It's Dan.
1018
Hi, Dan.
1019
How are you?
1020
Good.
1021
I called you yesterday.
1022
Did you get my message?
1023
Yes, I was taking a shower when you called.
1024
I saw that you called, and I tried to call you back, but I think your phone was off.
1025
No problem.
1026
I wanted to remind you that my friend is getting married next week.
1027
You're still coming to the wedding with me, right?
1028
Oh, is that next week?
1029
Yes.
1030
Did you forget?
1031
No, of course not.
1032
I already bought them a present.
1033
That's good.
1034
I want to invite Megan also.
1035
Next time you see her, can you tell her for me?
1036
Sure.
1037
Does she know your friend?
1038
Yes.
1039
I think they might have gone to the same college or something like that.
1040
I'm not exactly sure how they know each other.
1041
Are we all going to drive together?
1042
Yes.
1043
I'll pick you up first, and then we'll go get Megan.
1044
Hi.
1045
I'd like to see the doctor, please.
1046
Do you have an appointment?
1047
No. When would you like an appointment? Is today possible?
1048
Yes.
1049
Today is fine.
1050
What time would you like? As soon as possible.
1051
My stomach really hurts.
1052
Please wait a moment.
1053
I'll see if the doctor is available.
1054
Okay.
1055
Sorry, he's with a patient right now.
1056
It's probably going to be another thirty minutes.
1057
Would you mind waiting a little longer?
1058
No problem.
1059
May I see your insurance card, please?
1060
Here you are.
1061
Thanks.
1062
That's going to be twenty-five dollars for today's visit.
1063
Really?
1064
I didn't think it would be that much.
1065
I know how you feel.
1066
I'll pay with cash.
1067
Thank you.
1068
Would you please turn on the heat?
1069
It's really cold in here.

Who Will Benefit from This Video?
This video is perfect for beginner to intermediate English learners focused on building conversational confidence. If you struggle with everyday interactions—like asking for directions, checking the time, or introducing yourself—this dialogue is a goldmine. It mirrors real-life scenarios, making it ideal for practicing shadow speak (repeating phrases aloud in sync with the speaker) to improve fluency. Whether your goal is to hold short conversations or reduce hesitation, the simple, natural exchanges here provide a low-pressure way to master essential skills.
Key Phrases to Add to Your Vocabulary
The conversation is packed with high-frequency expressions that native speakers use daily. Here are standout terms to practice:
- "What's up?" – A casual way to ask "How are you?" or "What's happening?"
- "No problem" – A friendly response to "thank you," more relaxed than "you're welcome."
- "Do you know if..." – A polite structure for asking questions (e.g., "Do you know if there's a restroom?").
- "How about you?" – A quick way to turn a question back to the other person, keeping the conversation flowing.
These phrases are easy to integrate into your speech and will make your conversations sound more natural.
Mastering Pronunciation with the Shadowing Technique
To nail the accent in this video, use the shadowing technique (also called shadow speech or shadowspeak). Here's how: Play a short clip (5-10 seconds), pause, and repeat it aloud, mimicking the speaker's rhythm, stress, and intonation. Pay attention to reduced forms like "I'm" (not "I am") and "it's" (not "it is")—these small details make a big difference. Notice how questions rise in tone at the end (e.g., "Where are you from?") and statements fall (e.g., "I'm from California"). Practice daily, and you'll soon find your speech sounding more fluid and native-like. This method is proven to boost listening comprehension and speaking speed, making it a must for anyone learning English with videos.

| Advice with “should” should + verb — saying what is a good idea | Should we walk · should have · should I put |
| Past continuous was/were + -ing — an action in progress at a moment in the past | were moving · was watching · was taking |
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.
