You've been spreading a little joy all around the world.

Um, so I make teddy bears for people in hospital and all around the world.
266
I make them myself in my room from scratch.
267
And yeah, and-- And-- Yeah, after I.. make a lot and the house is filling up.
268
I send them around the world and to their hospital to empty the house, and I start all over again.
269
Really?
270
Yeah.
271
What inspired you to start doing this?
272
So, mom had flowers left in the back of the back at the car from doing her deliveries and I'd go, "What are you going to do with them?" I see you guys.
273
throw them away, it was Christmas Eve and it was the Christmas break so she wasn't going to do anything with them.
274
I said, "Oh well, let's go give them out to people." And yeah, I did.
275
So I gave them to people walking their dogs on the street Christmas Eve, and went home that night and I said to Mum,
276
"Oh, we should have taken him to the hospital." and we should have taken kids presents as well.
277
And mom said that would be a bit too much, 'cause we have nine people in the family.
278
So I said, "I'll make them then." And I started making little round toys, and then I grew to blankets, and now I'm at Teddy Bears.
279
And I made over 1 ,400 Teddy Bears, and this was my first one.
280
- That's your first one?
281
- Yeah, that was my first one.
282
And then I grew to them.
283
Do you do more than just send out bears now?
284
Yeah, so I auction.
285
and raffle these bears off and raise enough money and people get nominated on my website for Kindness Cruises,
286
which are cruises for people that are going through a hard time with cancer treatment or that
287
that have gone through a hard time and I-- raise enough money, book them on a cruise ship, and they get to go have fun with their family.
288
- Right, and you met one.
289
- Yeah.
290
Well, let me tell you something, man.
291

Why practice speaking with this video?
Engaging with the YouTube video titled "Young Sheldon Tries to Guess 80s Items! 😂 | Steve Harvey" offers a dynamic context for English learners to enhance their speaking skills. The lively conversation and playful exchanges provide excellent material for IELTS speaking practice. By mimicking the dialogues, learners can improve their fluency, intonation, and overall communication skills. Speaking along with native speakers helps to build confidence and incorporate a natural rhythm into English speech. Plus, the humorous moments keep the practice enjoyable and relatable, making it easier to remember vocabulary and phrases.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
This video contains several key grammatical structures and expressions that are useful for English learners:
- Use of Direct Speech: "You better know it." This phrase showcases a conversational tone, emphasizing the importance of familiarity.
- Conditional Statements: "If only you knew." This expression indicates a hypothetical situation, which is commonly used in everyday language to express wishes or regrets.
- Expressing Excitement: "There's a lot of dancing and screaming." This structure is effective in showing how emotions are conveyed in English, especially during celebrations.
- Repetition for Emphasis: "You get an Oscar, you get an Oscar." The repetition emphasizes enthusiasm and is a useful technique to adopt in expressive speaking.
By practicing these expressions, learners can expand their conversational toolkit and approach speaking situations with more versatility.
Common Pronunciation Traps
While interacting with the video, learners may come across specific pronunciation challenges:
- The word "Oscar": Pay attention to the vowel sounds, which can be tricky for non-native speakers. Focus on the clear "O" sound at the beginning.
- Expressions with “little”: The pronunciation of "little" can vary between regional accents. Listen carefully to how it’s pronounced in this context, focusing on the soft "t" sound.
- Contractions: Words like "you’re" and "we’re" often appear quickly in dialogue. Practice pronouncing them fluidly to enhance your overall speaking speed.
To master these aspects, consider using a shadowing app to replicate the speech patterns, thereby refining your pronunciation and intonation.
Utilizing this engaging video allows learners to effectively learn English with YouTube while having fun, ensuring that practice sessions remain enjoyable and educational. Don’t hesitate; dive into this entertaining content and let your English speaking skills shine!

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.
