Prática de Shadowing: How to Choose What to Wear Every Day | Easy English Conversation (Beginner) | Daily English - Aprenda a falar inglês com vídeo

you Hello everyone.

Welcome back to Everyday English Talk.

I am Ben.

And I am Anna.

We are so happy to be with you again for another episode to help you improve your English.

Today, we are talking about a topic that is very close to our daily lives.

We are talking about clothes.

More specifically, we are talking about how we choose what to wear every morning.

For some people, it is a very quick choice, but for others, it can be a bit of a struggle.

Should I wear this?

Or should I wear that?

Exactly, Ben.

What we wear can change how we feel and how other people see us.

It is a great topic to learn useful phrases for daily conversation.

We will talk about checking the weather, dressing for work, and how planning ahead can save you a lot of stress.

Stay with us until the end of the episode because we have a special listener challenge to help you practice.

And as always, you can download the free PDF transcript and vocabulary exercises on our website to follow along.

Let's jump into our first conversation.

Ben, you look very comfortable today.

I really like that blue sweater you are wearing.

Is it new?

Thank you, Anna.

Yes, it is quite new.

I bought it last week.

I chose it this morning because I noticed it is quite cold outside today.

In fact, it is much colder than yesterday.

That is true.

I felt the cold air as soon as I opened my window this morning.

I saw the sun shining early, so for a moment, I thought it might be a warm day.

But I knew I had to check the weather app on my phone first.

Do you do that too?

Oh, absolutely.

I check the weather app every single morning as soon as I wake up.

It is the very first thing I do while I am still in bed.

I look at the temperature and see if there is any chance of rain.

If I don't check it, I feel like I am not ready for the day.

I agree.

Checking the forecast is so important.

If I don't check the weather, I might wear the wrong clothes and feel miserable all day.

One time, last year, I looked out the window and saw no clouds.

I decided to wear my favorite sandals and a light dress.

But then, it rained all afternoon.

My feet were soaking wet, and I felt so cold and uncomfortable.

Oh no, that sounds like a terrible experience.

To avoid situations like that, I always try to dress in layers.

It is my favorite way to dress, especially in the spring or autumn, when the temperature changes a lot between the morning and the afternoon.

Dress in layers.

That is an interesting phrase.

For our listeners who are beginners, can you explain exactly what that means, Ben? Of course,

dressing in layers means you wear several pieces of clothing on top of each other instead of just one thick coat.

For example, today I am wearing a light cotton t -shirt.

Over that, I have this blue wool sweater.

And because it was very windy this morning, I also put on a light jacket before I left the house.

Ah, I see.

So if you get too warm when you are walking or when you are inside the office, you can just take off the jacket or the sweater.

It is very flexible.

Exactly.

It gives me choices.

If the sun comes out and the temperature goes up to 20 degrees, I can just take off my sweater and wear my t -shirt.

It helps me stay warm in the morning and stay cool in the afternoon.

That is a very smart and practical idea.

When I pick out my clothes, I also think a lot about comfort.

I don't like clothes that are too tight or made of materials that make my skin feel itchy.

I love soft cotton or silk.

If I don't feel comfortable in my clothes, I cannot focus on my work.

I feel the same way.

Comfort is everything.

If my shoes are too tight or if my jeans are too small, I spend the whole day thinking about my clothes instead of my tasks.

It really ruins my mood and my productivity.

I understand completely.

That is why today, I put on my favorite sneakers.

I knew I had to walk a lot between different meeting rooms and even walk to the bank during my lunch break.

Choosing the right shoes is just as important as choosing the right shirt.

You are right.

It is always better to wear something suitable for your plan.

If you are going to the park, wear sneakers.

If you are going to a fancy dinner, maybe wear something more formal.

So Ben, does it take you a long time to decide what to wear after you check the weather app?

Not really.

Because I use the app, the decision is easy.

If the app says it is 15 degrees, I already have a 15 degree outfit ready in my mind.

It's usually a long -sleeved shirt and a light coat.

It saves me from a lot of stress in the morning.

You are very organized.

I sometimes look at the sky and try to guess the temperature, but the clouds can be lying.

Using an app is much more reliable.

It really helps you feel prepared for whatever happens during the day.

Let's learn some new words.

Okay, that sounds good.

First, check the weather.

It means to look at the forecast to see if it is sunny, rainy, or cold.

Always check the weather before you go on a picnic.

Second, dress in layers.

It means to wear several pieces of clothing on top of each other.

Example.

In winter, it is smart to dress in layers to stay warm.

Third, put on.

It means to place a piece of clothing on your body.

Please put on your coat.

100

It is very cold outside today.

101

Fourth, pick out.

102

It means to choose something from a group.

103

I need to pick out a nice dress for my friend's wedding.

104

Fifth, suitable for.

105

It means right or correct for a particular situation.

106

Example: These heavy boots are not suitable for running.

107

So listeners, how about you?

108

Do you have the habit of checking the weather app before you pick out your clothes for the day?

109

We would love to know.

110

Tell us in the comments if you use an app, or if you just look out the window to guess the temperature.

111

you Anna, I have a question for you.

112

Do you ever stand in front of your wardrobe and feel like you have absolutely nothing to wear, even when your wardrobe is full of clothes?

113

Oh, Ben, I feel like that almost every day.

114

It is a very common problem, I think.

115

Many people feel this way.

116

especially on Monday mornings when I have to go to the office after a long, relaxing weekend.

117

Why do you think it is so much harder to choose clothes for work than for the weekend?

118

Well, for me, it is because I want to dress for success.

119

When I am at work, I want my boss and my colleagues to see me as a professional person.

120

I want to look serious and good at my job.

121

But at the same time, I sit at a desk for eight hours, so I also really want to feel comfortable.

122

That is a difficult balance to find.

123

Looking professional but feeling relaxed is a challenge for everyone.

124

My office is a bit different from yours.

125

I think.

126

We follow a smart casual style.

127

Smart casual is a very popular term these days, but sometimes it is a bit confusing for people.

128

Does it mean you can wear jeans to the office?

129

Yes, in my office, smart casual means I can wear dark blue jeans, but they must be clean and have no holes.

130

I usually combine them with a nice button -down shirt.

131

I don't have to wear a full suit or a tie.

132

No tie is needed unless we have a very big meeting with the director or a new client.

133

That sounds like a perfect middle ground.

134

I think when we look good, we actually work better.

135

It gives us a little boost of confidence.

136

When I wear an outfit I like, I feel more ready to speak in meetings and share my ideas.

137

I agree 100%.

138

When I wear a clean, freshly ironed shirt, I feel like I am in work mode.

139

I feel like I can handle any difficult problem or any long meeting.

140

It's almost like a uniform for my brain to start working.

141

Does your boss ever say anything about what the employees wear?

142

Does he care about the dress code?

143

Yes, he sometimes mentions it in our team meetings.

144

He thinks we should always look professional because we meet clients every week.

145

He says that when a client looks at us, they are looking at the company.

146

We represent the brand.

147

If we look messy or tired, the company looks messy.

148

That makes perfect sense.

149

First impressions are very important in business.

150

Because of that, I usually try to wear colors that are professional.

151

I don't like to wear colors that stand out too much at work.

152

I usually stick to navy blue, gray, black, and white.

153

Those are very safe and classic colors.

154

The best thing about those colors is that they match with almost everything.

155

You don't have to spend a lot of time thinking if your pants match your shirt or your jacket.

156

Exactly.

157

It makes it so much easier to match my bag and my shoes, too.

158

I don't want to spend my morning worrying if my green shoes look okay with a purple skirt.

159

That would take too much energy.

160

That would definitely stand out.

161

People would look at you all day.

162

Sometimes I see people in the city wearing very bright neon colors like pink or bright green.

163

It looks cool on the street.

164

But maybe not in a serious business meeting.

165

I agree.

166

I think it's nice to show your personality through your clothes, but at the office, I prefer to keep it simple and elegant.

167

I save my bright colors, like my favorite red dress or my yellow sun hat, for the weekend.

168

That is a very good rule to follow.

169

Work clothes should be neat, simple, and clean.

170

It shows you respect your job, your workplace, and the people you work with.

171

Do you have one favorite outfit that you wear when you have a really important presentation to give?

172

Yes, I have a dark gray blazer.

173

Even if I am wearing a simple white t -shirt underneath, the blazer makes me look sharp and professional immediately.

174

It's my power outfit.

175

I always feel ready when I wear it.

176

A blazer is such a useful piece of clothing for everyone.

177

It can change a casual look into a professional look in just two seconds.

178

I think every beginner learner should learn that word "blazer." Can we practice some common phrases?

179

Yes, let's do it.

180

First, dress for success.

181

It means to wear clothes that make you look professional and confident.

182

Example.

183

I always dress for success when I have a job interview.

184

Second, smart casual.

185

It means a style of clothing that is neat and professional but not very formal.

186

The company party is smart casual, so you can wear jeans and a nice shirt.

187

Third, look professional.

188

It means to appear like someone who is serious and good at their job.

189

You should look professional when you meet a new client.

190

Fourth, stand out.

191

It means to be very easy to see or notice because you are different.

192

Example.

193

If you wear a bright red suit, you will really stand out in the office.

194

Fifth, feel comfortable.

195

It means to feel relaxed and pleasant in your clothes.

196

I feel comfortable when I wear my old cotton t -shirt.

197

So listeners, now we want to hear from you.

198

What kind of clothes are you required to wear at your workplace or your school?

199

Share your answer with us.

200

Is your dress code very formal with suits and ties, or is it more smart casual like my office?

201

you Ben, I have a little secret to share with you today.

202

I am much, much faster at getting ready in the morning than I was last year.

203

I used to be very slow, but not anymore.

204

Really?

205

I am surprised.

206

You used to tell me you were always late.

207

What is your secret?

208

Did you stop drinking coffee in the morning to save time?

209

Or did you cut your hair shorter?

210

No, no. I still love my morning coffee.

211

I can't live without it and my hair is the same length.

212

The big change is that I started to plan ahead.

213

Now, I always choose my clothes the night before.

214

I never wait until the morning to decide.

215

That is a fantastic habit, Anna.

216

I actually started doing the exact same thing a few months ago.

217

It really helps me save time and stay calm during the early hours.

218

It really does.

219

Before I started this habit, I would stand in front of my closet for 20 minutes every single morning.

220

I would try on one shirt, then take it off.

221

Then try on a dress and take it off because I didn't like the color.

222

I was always stressed and I was often late for my bus.

223

I know that feeling very well.

224

It is a terrible way to start the day.

225

Now, my routine is different.

226

Before I brush my teeth at night, I pick out my clothes for the next day.

227

I check them to see if there are any stains or if a button is missing.

228

I even check if the socks are a matching pair.

229

That is so important.

230

Checking for small problems at night avoids big problems in the morning.

231

And do you iron them at night, too?

232

Yes, I do.

233

I iron my shirt and my trousers while I listen to a podcast or some relaxing music.

234

Ironing at night is very smart.

235

There is nothing worse than being ready to leave the house and then finding a huge wrinkle in your shirt.

236

If you are in a rush, you don't have time to fix it.

237

I agree.

238

Finding a wrinkle when you have only five minutes left is a nightmare.

239

You end up feeling messy and self -conscious all day.

240

You are so organized, Ben.

241

Planning ahead also helps me sleep better.

242

I don't have to lie in bed worrying about what I will wear for my meeting the next day.

243

I feel the same way.

244

My brain feels quieter when I know my clothes are ready.

245

My mornings are much more peaceful now.

246

Because I don't waste time choosing clothes, I actually have time to sit down

247

and eat a real breakfast instead of just grabbing a piece of bread and running out the door.

248

That's a big health benefit too.

249

A calm breakfast is so good for your day.

250

Some of my friends are even more extreme.

251

They plan all their clothes for the whole week on Sunday evening.

252

They have five outfits ready for Monday to Friday.

253

Have you ever tried that?

254

I thought about it, but I think it is a bit difficult for me.

255

What if the weather changes?

256

What if it is sunny on Monday, but suddenly rains on Wednesday?

257

Your plan for Wednesday might not work anymore.

258

You might need a raincoat instead of a light jacket.

259

That is a very good point.

260

That is why I think the night before plan is the best.

261

You can check the latest weather report on your phone and then decide.

262

It's the perfect balance of planning and being flexible.

263

How do you store the clothes you have picked out?

264

Do you just leave them on a chair?

265

Or do you put them back in the closet?

266

No, I have a special hook on the back of my bedroom door.

267

I hang the whole outfit there.

268

The shirt, the pants, and even my scarf.

269

It makes me feel like I am ready to go as soon as I open my eyes.

270

It is very satisfying.

271

It's like being a superhero, preparing your costume for the next mission.

272

It makes the morning feel like a small victory before you even leave the house.

273

Exactly.

274

It reduces so much stress.

275

And the best part is, you never have to run out the door with mismatched socks because you were in a hurry and it was dark.

276

that has actually happened to me before.

277

I once wore one black sock and one dark blue sock to a very important meeting.

278

I spent the whole meeting trying to hide my feet under the table.

279

I hoped nobody would notice.

280

Oh no. See?

281

That is why we should always plan ahead.

282

It keeps our style and our minds organized.

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.
