Criando lição...
1
This is the final day of the seven day shadowing challenge.
2
If you've been here every day this week, I am so proud of you.
3
You've practiced six real life conversations already,
4
and your mouth has done more English work in seven days than most learners do in a month. So congratulations.
5
Today's conversation is the hardest one of the week.
6
Of course, I saved it for last on purpose.
7
is not what you were supposed to get, you have to call customer service, stay calm, explain what went wrong, and push for a solution without being rude.
8
This requires a very specific kind of language, the kind most English learners never practice because it means asking for things, not just being polite.
9
Here are the words and phrases you need to know first.
10
To raise a complaint.
11
To raise a complaint means to formally tell a company that something went wrong and that you expect it to be fixed.
12
It is more serious than casually mentioning a problem.
13
Next, order number.
14
Your order number is the reference code you receive when you buy something online.
15
Always have it ready before you call customer service.
16
It will be the first thing they ask for.
17
Then, Incorrect item An incorrect item means you received the wrong product.
18
A different color, the wrong size, or something completely different from what you actually ordered.
19
Next, to process a return, and when a company processes a return, they begin the steps to collect the wrong item back and issue a refund or send a replacement.
20
Then, Prepaid Return Label.
21
A Prepaid Return Label is a shipping label the company sends you
22
so you can post the item back without paying for postage yourself.
23
They cover the cost.
24
Next, Replacement.
25
A replacement is a new, correct version of the item the company sends you in place of the wrong or damaged one you received.
26
Then refund.
27
A refund is your money returned to you, usually back to the original card or account you paid with.
28
Next, to escalate.
29
To escalate means to take your complaint to a higher level.
30
You asked to speak to a supervisor or manager when the first person was unable to resolve it.
31
Then, Priority shipping.
32
Priority Shipping is a faster delivery option that gets your package to use sooner than standard shipping usually for an extra fee.
33
And finally, to bear with someone.
34
To bear with someone means to stay patient while they look something up or sort something out.
35
"Bear with me" is a natural, polite way of asking you to wait just a moment.
36
By the way, since this is the final day, I want to tell you about something that pairs really well with the work you've been doing all the week.
37
It's called Turbo English.
38
It's buy two, get one free, on the LinguaTrip handbooks.
39
We built two different sets depending on where you're stuck.
40
The first set is for speaking and vocabulary.
41
It's for you if you have been shadowing with me all week and you want to keep going.
42
It gives you the natural expressions native speakers use in If today's complaint dialogue felt hard,
43
this set is what you need next.
44
And the second set is for grammar.
45
It's for you if you keep getting confused by the same grammar rules over and over, especially the tenses.
46
Present perfect versus past simple, conditionals, all the things that make you hesitate when you speak.
47
The set breaks them down with examples that actually stick.
48
Each set is around $12, less than one private lesson, and because it's buy two, get one free, you're really getting three handbooks for the price of two.
49
is in the description.
50
Okay, now let's get into today's conversation, the last one of our challenge.
51
- Thank you for calling Maple & Co.
52
Customer Service.
53
My name is Ryan.
54
How can I help you today?
55
Hi Ryan, I am calling because I received my order yesterday, but there is a problem with it.
56
I got completely the wrong item.
57
Oh, I am sorry to hear that.
58
I can absolutely help you sort this out.
59
Can I start with your order number?
60
Yes, it is MC -4.
61
49 -28731.
62
Thank you.
63
Bear with me one moment while I pull that up.
64
Okay.
65
I have got your order here.
66
You ordered the gray wool throw blanket, correct?
67
That is right!
68
But what I actually received was a blue cotton one.
69
Different color.
70
Completely different material.
71
I completely understand, and I sincerely apologize for that.
72
That should not have happened.
73
So what I can do is arrange a return of the incorrect item and get the right one sent out to you.
74
Okay.
75
And realistically, how long is all of that going to take?
76
Because I bought this as a birthday gift and the birthday is coming up soon.
77
I understand the time pressure, so the process is normally this: we email you a prepaid return label, at no cost to you.
78
you send the item back.
79
And once we receive it, we process the return within two to three business days.
80
The replacement would then ship and reach you in five to seven business days after that.
81
That might be too slow, honestly.
82
The birthday is 10 days away.
83
Is there anything you can do to speed it up?
84
Let me see what options I have.
85
I can flag your replacement as priority shipping, which would bring the delivery time down to two to three business days after we process the return.
86
I want to be upfront though.
87
I cannot promise an exact date.
88
I appreciate the honesty.
89
Can I ask one more thing?
90
Do I need to wait for you to receive the return before you send the replacement?
91
Or is there any way to send it out now?
92
Given that this was your mistake, not mine, That is a fair point.
93
And I completely understand why you are asking.
94
Normally we do require the return to be initiated first, But given that this was our error, Let me check with my supervisor and see what I can do.
95
Would you mind holding for just a minute?
96
Not at all.
97
Go ahead.
98
Thank you so much for holding.
99
So I spoke with my supervisor, and because this was clearly our mistake, We are going to ship the correct item out to you today with priority shipping.
100
You do not need to wait.
101
You will receive a separate email with a prepaid return label for the Blue Throw
102
and you have 30 days to send it back at your convenience.
103
That is brilliant.
104
I really appreciate you sorting that out.
105
It is absolutely the least we can do.
106
You will get a confirmation email within the hour with a new tracking number.
107
Is there anything else?
108
I can help you with.
109
No, that is everything.
110
Honestly, thank you so much, Ryan.
111
You handled this really well.
112
That means a lot.
113
Thank you.
114
I hope the gift arrives in time and that your friend has a wonderful birthday.
115
Thank you.
116
Fingers crossed.
117
Have a good day.
118
You too.
119
Take care.
120
Goodbye.
121
Bye.
122
Now it is your turn.
123
The conversation will play again, and this time, say the customer's words out loud at the exact same time you hear them.
124
Same pace.
125
Do not wait.
126
Here we go.
127

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?
Praticar a fala em inglês é fundamental para dominar o idioma, e o desafio de sombra apresentado neste vídeo oferece uma oportunidade única. Ao simular conversas da vida real, como interações com o serviço ao cliente, você não apenas adquire vocabulário específico, mas também desenvolve a confiança necessária para se comunicar efetivamente. Além disso, a técnica chamada shadowspeaks permite que você ouça e repita diálogos em tempo real, ajudando a internalizar estruturas e pronúncias corretas. Cada dia deste desafio foi projetado para impulsionar suas habilidades de comunicação, e a prática constante levará a resultados significativos na fluência.
Gramática e Expressões em Contexto
O vídeo aborda várias estruturas linguísticas importantes que são frequentemente usadas em situações de reclamações. Aqui estão algumas expressões-chave que você deve dominar:
- To raise a complaint: Isso se refere a formalmente relatar um problema para a empresa. É essencial entender como utilizar essa expressão corretamente em um contexto de serviço ao cliente.
- Order number: Aprender a frase correta para mencionar o número do seu pedido é crucial. Sempre tenha isso à mão, pois facilitará a resolução do seu problema.
- To process a return: Esta expressão é usada para descrever o processo pelo qual uma empresa aceita de volta um item e emite um reembolso. Compreender essa estrutura é vital para qualquer comunicação relacionada a devoluções.
- To escalate: Se sua primeira tentativa de resolver um problema não for bem-sucedida, saber como 'escalar' a questão para um supervisor pode fazer toda a diferença na sua experiência.
Essas expressões farão parte do seu repertório ao praticar shadow speech, ajudando-o a responder adequadamente em conversas reais.
Traps de Pronúncia Comuns
No vídeo, alguns termos podem causar confusão na pronúncia. É fundamental prestar atenção a estas palavras, uma vez que podem impactar a compreensão de quem está ouvindo:
- Incorrect item: A pronúncia correta deste termo pode ser desafiadora, especialmente se você não estiver acostumado com a sonoridade do inglês. A dica é praticar repetidamente até que soe natural.
- Refund: O som do 'f' junto com 'und' pode ser difícil para falantes de português. Treine para evitar trocas de sons que poderiam gerar confusão.
- Priority shipping: Preste atenção à ênfase nas palavras. A prática ao ouvir nativos é a chave para a correta pronúncia.
Concentrar-se na pronúncia correta enquanto você acompanha o vídeo é vital para o seu progresso. Utilize canais de aprender inglês com Youtube para explorar mais sobre as nuances da fala e se tornar um falante confiante.
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — uma ação que começou antes e continua | you've been doing · have been shadowing |
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | you've been · You've practiced · has done |
| Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz | be fixed · be initiated |
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
