It's 73 degrees right now,
21
not too cold, not too hot.
22
It's like a fall weather, which is pretty nice.
23
I mean, I don't know if it is pretty nice
24
because we're still in summer So if we are on summer and it's cold already,
25
I think this year will be very cold
26
But we don't have to think about this right now Let's just enjoy this beautiful day
27
So I just finished my morning job
28
and I have about three hours free until my English class start at 5 30 p.m.
29
But before my English class I have to do one important thing,
30
one very important So let's go take the subway right now.
31
We are now on Midtown Manhattan and I have to finish this book.
32
I have two and I wanna do this today And you guys can see over there,
33
on the top of this building,
34
right here
35
There's a free public rooftop over here It's part of the New York Public Library
36
and I just love this place And today it's a perfect weather day,
37
so I wanna go up there and finish my book But before that,
38
let's take a cough I mean,
39
not a cough, you know me, right?
40
I will take a matcha.
41
Last week I was watching a Starbucks barista vlog and he made it, this drink.
42
It's matcha with brown sugar,
43
salt caramel and oat milk.
44
And to be honest, to be very honest with you,
45
I want to drink this matcha every single day because it's so good.
46
Unfortunately, I can drink every day because it's expensive,
47
but today I will drink, alright?
48
And I'm really excited for that.
49
So let's find a Starbucks,
50
which is not hard to do this here in New York because there's a Starbucks in every single corner of the city.
51
Oh, and by the way,
52
I will talk about this book with you later.
53
Just calm down, let's take my coffee.
54
Oops, my matcha.
55
You see, I walked it for literally five minutes and...
56
Tchada!
57
Sure, hello, how are you guys doing?
58
Can I have one venti matcha with ice head,
59
with almond milk, brown sugar and salted caramel foam on the top?
60
That's it for now.
61
Your name?
62
Julia.
63
Oh man, this drink, guys, I can't explain words.
64
It's so good.
65
So good.
66
This salted caramel cold foam on the top,
67
it's a masterpiece, you know?
68
Okay, now I'm ready to finish my book.
69
Guys, this place is amazing.
70
Here you can charge your phone,
71
you can go to the bathroom.
72
There is a very clean and smell good bathroom right here.
73
Also, there is a coffee inside the building here on the rooftop.
74
It's a nice coffee too.
75
I think it opens until 5 p.m.
76
And the best part I didn't tell you yet is this view.
77
So beautiful, so, so beautiful.
78
And let's talk about the sky color.
79
It's so blue.
80
Oh my God.
81
It's a very good place to enjoy a little bit, work, read, study.
82
And it's so nice because on the streets right now it's so crowded,
83
it's so nice, there are so many cars.
84
And here it's like the Pacific place on the middle of the chaos,
85
so it's so nice.
86
I just love this place and yes, now you guys know.
87
Okay, so about this book,
88
I want to tell you,
89
it calls the creative act a way of being.
90
Put my bag here and I'm gonna stay more comfortable.
91
Yes, way more comfortable.
92
I'm reading an English version because it's good to practice the English
93
and I always like to read it in English and watch things in English.
94
The only way to learn English is to insert English in your life,
95
in your daily routine.
96
So you can watch movies in English,
97
listen music in English and also try to think in English in specific moments.
98
The only way to learn is to practice.
99
It's the only way.
100
Okay, so this book is for everyone.
101
I think everyone should read this at least one time in their lives,
102
because it's very special.
103
The book teaches us about the way of being, like the name says.
104
And the more special thing about this book is because it shows us about how all of us are artists,
105
not just those people who really work with art.
106
Everyone is an artist.
107
Like, if you are a teacher,
108
you're an artist, because you have an artist to teach.
109
You teach people to learn things.
110
If you are a doctor,
111
you are an artist too, because you save lives.
112
I don't know, another example,
113
if you work with a building construction,
114
you're an artist too, because you make something huge.
115
So you know what I mean?
116
And this is very nice because the book shows us how to see this,
117
how to see how artist you are.
118
It shows us how to recognize ourselves.
119
Look how nice it is.
120
Everyone is a creator.
121
If you're alive, you can create things.
122
So yeah, I'm almost done,
123

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.
