And welcome back to SOFIA English Podcast.
2
We're very happy you're here with us today.
3
I'm Leo.
4
And I'm Tina.
5
And today's topic is very practical.
6
We're talking about how to talk about your priorities in English.
7
This topic is useful because everyone has priorities.
8
We talk about priorities at work, at school, at home, and even with friends.
9
You may need to say what matters most, explain why something is important, or tell someone you don't have time for everything.
10
Yes, and sometimes people ask questions like, "What's your main goal right now?" or "What do you need to focus on first?" If you know how to answer,
11
your English sounds more clear and natural.

14
All right, let's get started.
15
Hi Leo, how are you today?
16
I'm good, but a little tired.
17
I stayed up too late last night.
18
Oh no, what happened?
19
I told myself I'm just going to watch one short video.
20
Then suddenly it's midnight and I'm watching a man build a tiny house in the forest.
21
That sounds very specific.
22
It is.
23
And now I know too much about wooden roofs.
24
Well, at least you learned something.
25
True.
26
What about you?
27
How are you today?
28
I'm feeling good.
29
I'm feeling calm today because I had a productive morning.
30
I woke up early, made tea, answered emails, and planned my week.
31
Ah, yes, that sounds like a very Tina morning.
32
Is that a compliment?
33
Yes, it means organized, responsible, and a little bit scary.
34
Scary?
35
In a good way.
36
If I see your to -do list, I want to fix my whole life.
37
That's funny.
38
So what did you do this weekend, besides learning about tiny houses?
39
On Saturday, I met my cousin for lunch, then I tried to clean my apartment.
40
I say tried because I spent 20 minutes cleaning and 40 minutes looking at old photos.
41
That is very relatable.
42
Did you finish cleaning?
43
Half.
44
My living room looks great.
45
My bedroom looks like a mystery.
46
A mystery?
47
Yes.
48
Nobody knows what's under that chair.
49
I'm not going to ask.
50
My weekend was quieter.
51
I went grocery shopping, did laundry, and spent a few hours reading.
52
On Sunday evening, I planned my tasks for the new week.
53
You really do plan everything.
54
Not everything, but planning helps me feel less stressed.
55
I get that.
56
I don't always plan well and then on Monday morning I suddenly remember 10 important things.
57
Speaking of important things, that connects perfectly to today's topic.
58
Exactly!
59
Today we're talking about priorities, which is something I need help with all the time.
60
Then this lesson is perfect for you! and probably for many of our viewers too.
61
So Leo, let's start with a simple question: What is a priority?
62
I think a priority is something important.
63
It's the thing you need to do first or pay attention to most.
64
Exactly.
65
A priority is something that matters more than other things.
66
When we say, "This is my priority," we mean, "This is very important to me right now." So, if I say sleep is my top priority,
67
that means I really need sleep.
68
Yes, and honestly, after last night, maybe it should be.
69
I agree.
70
Okay, what are your priorities these days?
71
Right now, my top priorities are my health, my work, and my family.
72
I try to keep a balance, but I also know some weeks are busier than others.
73
That sounds very clear.
74
Mine are a little messy.
75
Messy how?
76
Well, I want to work hard, exercise more, save money, call my parents, read books, cook at home, and sleep eight hours.
77
But sometimes I also want to eat noodles at 11 p .m and watch videos for two hours.
78
That is honest.
79
And that's the problem for many people.
80
We have many goals, but not enough time.
81
Yes.
82
Wait, what does balance mean here?
83
Balance means giving time and energy to different parts of your life in a healthy way.
84
For example, if you work all day and never rest, your life is out of balance.
85
I see.
86
So balance is like not putting everything in one area.
87
Exactly.
88
You don't want only work or only fun.
89
You need a good mix.
90
That makes sense.
91
So how do you talk about priorities in a simple way?
92
You can use easy phrases like "my main priority is"
93
or "right now I'm focusing on" "the most important thing for me is" or "I need to put this first."
94
Those are useful.
95
Let me try.
96
Right now, I'm focusing on improving my time management.
97
Very good.
98
That sounds natural.
99
Okay, your turn.
100
Give me a real example from your life.
101
Sure, I can say, "This month my main priority is finishing a big project at work," or, "My health is a priority,
102
so I make time for walking every morning." Nice!
103
I like those because they are clear and direct.
104
Yes, clear English is often better than complicated English.
105
So, when do people talk about priorities in real life?
106
Many situations.
107
At work, your manager may ask, "What are your priorities this week?" At school, a teacher may ask about your study goals.
108
At home, you may need to explain why you can't do everything in one day.
109
Oh, yes.
110
Also in friendships.
111
Sometimes a friend says, "Why are you so busy?" and you need to explain, "I'm sorry, but work is my priority this week." Exactly.
112
That is a very natural example.
113
Sometimes I feel bad when I say that.
114
Why?
115
Because I don't want people to think I don't care.
116
That's understandable.
117
But talking about priorities is not the same as rejecting people.
118
It's about being honest with your time and energy.
119
That's a good point.
120
So maybe I can say, "I can't meet this week because I'm focusing on an important deadline, but let's meet next weekend." Perfect.
121
That sounds polite and responsible.
122
Wait, what does "deadline" mean?
123
A deadline is the final time or date when something must be finished.
124
For example, if your report is due on Friday, Friday is the deadline.
125
I'm not going to be able to invest in a car.
126
It's the same as a car.
127
Please stop.
128
Yes, I'm not going to start a car.
129
Yes, I'm going to start a car.
130
I'm going to start a car.
131
Ah, yes.
132
Deadlines.
133
My old enemy.
134
I thought your old enemy was cleaning your bedroom.
135
I have many enemies, Tina.
136
Fair enough.
137
Let's talk about work priorities first.
138
How do you decide what to do first when you have many tasks?

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.
