Welcome to my channel, Let's Practice Your Listening Skill, with video level B1, and the topic is, Her Wedding Day.
2
Now listen carefully.
3
Tom, yesterday you suddenly said you had to go home because it was too late and left me crying alone with that story.
4
Hey, I had work early this morning.
5
I don't care.
6
I couldn't even sleep last night.
7
I kept thinking about Ethan and Sophia.
8
Tell me the rest right now.
9
You were really that emotional?
10
Of course.
11
After Ethan got injured, what happened next?
12
Did he recover?
13
Did they stay together?
14
Hurry up and continue the story.
15
Okay, okay.
16
I'll continue.
17
After surgery, Ethan spent years trying to recover.
18
Every morning he trained until his body shook from pain.
19
He forced himself back into the swimming pool again and again.
20
Because he still loved swimming.
21
Swimming wasn't just a sport for him.
22
It was his life, his pride, his future, his identity.
23
Did Sophia stay beside him?
24
Every single day.
25
She worked part-time jobs, cooked for him, encouraged him, massaged his injured arm at night when he couldn't sleep from pain.
26
But reality was cruel.
27
No matter how hard Ethan trained, his body couldn't return to how it was before.
28
So he couldn't compete anymore?
29
Yeah.
30
His coach finally told him, your professional swimming career is over.
31
After that, Ethan slowly changed.
32
The boy who once stood proudly on the podium started doing hard labor jobs.
33
What kind of jobs?
34
Carrying boxes, cleaning warehouses, delivering goods, construction work.
35
That must have destroyed his pride.
36
Especially because society treated him badly.
37
Before, everyone respected him because he was talented and successful.
38
But after losing swimming, people started looking down on him.
39
Some people mocked him.
40
They said things like, wasn't he supposed to become a champion?
41
Or look at him now.
42
Ethan started feeling useless.
43
He couldn't earn much money.
44
he couldn't give Sophia a comfortable life.
45
He saw other men buying expensive things for their girlfriends, while he counted every dollar before eating.
46
That pain as a man must feel terrible.
47
Exactly.
48
He loved Sophia deeply, so every time he saw her struggling beside him, he hated himself more.
49
Sometimes at night, Ethan watched old swimming videos of himself.
50
Oh, no. He missed his old life so much.
51
the cheering crowds, the medals, the feeling of flying through the water.
52
He missed the version of himself before losing everything.
53
Yeah, and slowly he started thinking dangerous thoughts.
54
Like what?
55
Like, if I had chosen the gold medal that day instead of love, maybe my life would be rich and successful now.
56
He didn't truly regret Sophia, he was only tired, broken, exhausted from life.
57
But those thoughts still hurt.
58
One night, Ethan got drunk with his friend.
59
While crying, he accidentally said those thoughts out loud.
60
And Sophia heard everything.
61
Yeah.
62
Ethan said, Sometimes I wonder, if I had chosen swimming that day, maybe Sophia wouldn't have to suffer with a useless man like me now.
63
And Sophia stood outside the door, listening silently.
64
That must have shattered her heart completely.
65
She blamed herself immediately.
66
She believed Ethan lost his dream, future, money, and entire life because of her.
67
And because she loved him, she couldn't forgive herself.
68
Exactly.
69
Sophia thought one day Ethan would hate her completely.
70
She felt guilty every time she looked at him struggling to survive.
71
So she decided to leave first?
72
Yeah.
73
Did Ethan try to stop her?
74
Like crazy.
75
He cried and apologized over and over again.
76
He told her he never regretted loving her.
77
But Sophia didn't believe him anymore.
78
No, she kept saying, because of me, you lost your dream.
79
Ethan once gave Sophia a ring and promised, when I earn enough money, I'll marry you.
80
Sophia actually waited for that day for years.
81
Deep inside, she really wanted to become his wife.
82
She dreamed about calling him her husband one day.
83
But Ethan kept delaying it because he felt poor.
84
Yeah.
85
He always said, wait a little longer.
86
I want to give you a better life first.
87
And while waiting, they slowly lost each other.
88
Exactly.
89
During their final argument, Sophia cried while holding the ring Ethan gave her.
90
She asked him, how many more years should I wait for us to finally become a family?
91
Tom, stop.
92
Ethan couldn't answer.
93
Then Sophia threw the ring away.
94
No. Ethan immediately ran into the rain searching for it like his life depended on it.
95
Because to him, that ring was their entire future.
96
Exactly.
97
Did she leave after that?
98
Yeah.
99
From the day Sophia left, Ethan completely collapsed.
100
The house they once shared suddenly became painfully empty.
101
Every corner reminded her of her.
102
The toothbrush beside his, her slippers near the door, the cup she always used.
103
That loneliness after a breakup is terrifying.
104
Especially after spending so many years together.
105
Ethan didn't know how to live without her, because every part of his daily life had Sophia inside it.
106
He started going back to places they once visited together.
107
He ordered her favorite food just to remember her voice saying, this tastes good.
108
But instead of healing, it hurt more.
109
Yeah.
110
The more he remembered her, the more he realized how deeply he still loved her.
111
And he regretted those drunken words forever.
112
Every single day.
113
Years passed, but Ethan never forgot Sophia.
114
Did he ever swim again?
115
Not professionally, but later he became a swimming teacher.
116
Because Sophia always wanted him to continue swimming somehow.
117
Exactly.
118
She once told him, even if you can't compete anymore, don't leave the water completely.
119
Ethan always hoped one day he would meet Sophia again, apologize properly, and maybe start over together.
120
But life doesn't always give second chances.
121
Yeah.
122
One afternoon, Ethan opened his mailbox.
123
Inside was a wedding invitation.
124
No. Yeah, the bride was Sophia.
125
When Ethan saw her name decide another man's, it felt like the entire world stopped moving.
126
His chest hurt so much he could barely breathe.
127
He wanted to cry, but after all those years, maybe he had no tears left anymore.
128
Tom.
129
The afternoon of her wedding, Ethan wore the shirt she made for him years ago.
130
She made clothes for him herself?
131
Yeah, she said he looked handsome in simple clothes.
132
And Ethan stood quietly in the wedding hall, watching the woman he loved become someone else's wife.
133
That's honestly one of the saddest things possible.
134
Before the ceremony, he met Sophia alone.
135
What did they say?
136
Ethan smiled softly and told her, meeting you was the best thing in my youth.
137
Because of you, I learned how to love, how to fight for someone, and how to become a better person.
138
Then he looked at her wedding dress and said quietly, you look beautiful today.
139
I'm actually going to cry now.
140
The saddest part was when Ethan saw Sophia holding another man's hand.
141
At that moment, he thought, I wish that was me.
142
He wished he was the man standing beside her at the altar.
143
The man giving her flowers.
144
The man she would spend her whole life with.
145
But instead, he became just a guest at her wedding.
146
Yeah.
147
The girl who walked beside him through his youth, through all those painful years, finally became someone else's wife.
148
And Ethan smiled one last time, then turned around and walked away alone.
149
And the movie ended with Ethan standing outside the wedding hall alone, while snow slowly fell around him.
150
The narration said, some people are meant to stay in your heart forever, even if they cannot stay in your life.
151
That's beautiful and painful at the same time.
152
Yeah.
153
After watching it, I just sat there thinking, maybe everyone has one person like that in their youth, someone they loved deeply but still lost in the end.
154
Maybe.
155
And maybe that's why stories like this hurt so much.
156
Because they feel real.
157
Yeah.
158
Tom, yesterday you suddenly said you had to go home because it was too late and left me crying alone with that story.
159
Hey, I had work early this morning.
160
I don't care.
161
I couldn't even sleep last night.
162

163

164

166

167

168
Hurry up and continue the story.
169
Okay, okay.
170
I'll continue.
171

Dicas de Prática
Para maximizar seu aprendizado, sugerimos a técnica de shadow speech. Ao assistir ao vídeo, faça uma pausa após cada frase e repita em voz alta o que ouviu. Utilize esta prática de conversação em inglês para se acostumar com a entonação e o ritmo do fala. O tom emocional da narrativa pode ajudar você a entender como expressões variam com o sentimento. Tente ouvir o vídeo em uma velocidade mais baixa, se necessário, e faça anotações sobre as partes que você achou mais desafiadoras.
Utilize um shadowing site para fortalecer ainda mais suas habilidades. Pratique o shadowing em inglês enquanto escuta a história de Ethan até que você possa reproduzir o texto sem a necessidade de pausar. Essa técnica não só melhora sua pronúncia, mas também ajuda na retenção de vocabulário e na construção de frases. Isso será vital para aumentar sua fluência e confiança em situações conversacionais.
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.
