Do you ever think that your disability somehow could be an advantage in a competition like this
2
or just in cooking in general?
3
Yes, chef.
4
Please excuse my chewing.
5
Yes, it is.
6
Because I can't see, I won't be worrying about what other people are doing.
7
I love the fact that you're tasting everything.
8
I have to.
9
I can't see.
10
I'm Christine from Houston, Texas, and I'm a graduate student.
11
My husband's here supporting me.
12
He's my biggest fan.
13
I love food.
14
I love eating it.
15
I love creating it.
16
I feel like regardless of what your background is, your gender, your religion, food is something everybody has in common in this world,
17
and so I think food is what connects people together.
18
I'm definitely a competitive person.
19
I really want to get this apron.
20
I am here for a reason.
21
I'm supposed to be graduating in school, but I've set aside my thesis to get an apron and become the next MasterChef.
22
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
23
Um, welcome.
24
Thank you.
25
Um, first name is?
26
My name is Christine.
27
Christine, in the history of MasterChef, we've never had a blind contestant.
28
Welcome.
29
Thank you.
30
Thank you, Chef.
31
The gentleman with you.
32
That's my husband.
33
His name is John.
34
Right.
35
Great.
36
What are you cooking?
37
I'm cooking Vietnamese comfort food.
38
It's a catfish braised in a clay pot, and I pickled vegetables to go with it and some rice.
39
Okay.
40
Okay.
41
Christine, you've got five minutes to complete that dish.
42
Thank you.
43
Just in front.
44
Just in front?
45
No, you were there.
46
Just a little bit higher, darling.
47
Okay, thank you.
48
There we are.
49
Thank you.
50
Christine?
51
Yes, chef?
52
Were you born blind?
53
No, no, chef.
54
When I was, maybe about ten years ago, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition that affected my nerves,
55
my spinal cord and my optic nerves, and so I lost my vision gradually over the past ten years.
56
In your mind, you're visualizing what you put on a plate.
57
Yes, that's correct.
58
You know, I felt the plate and things like that before, and a lot of it is obvious by memory.
59
Do you ever think that your disability somehow could be an advantage in a competition like this
60
or just in cooking in general?
61
Yes, chef.
62
Please excuse my chewing.
63
Yes, it is.
64
Because I can't see, I won't be worrying about what other people are doing.
65
I love the fact that you're tasting everything.
66
I have to.
67
I can't see.
68
One of my teaching methods with young chefs today is that we put a blindfold on them and they understand the texture,
69
the taste, which is accelerated quicker when your eyes are closed and you're concentrating purely on the senses.
70
Yes, correct, chef.
71
I'm gonna do it.
72
My rice did not turn out to par, so I'm not serving it to you.
73
Okay, I guess I'm done.
74
Thank you.
75
The catfish, how did you cook it?
76
With some caramel that I made by just caramelizing sugar on the stove and using coconut soda as well.
77
And with shallots and garlic.
78
And the base of the broth is made up of what?
79
Fish sauce.
80
I love the fact that you kept the fish on the bone.
81
Why?
82
Catfish is just, it's really tender and I didn't want to pick it apart and make it look unappetizing, so I left it as a steak.
83
I think it looks more appealing and that's just the way Vietnamese people eat.
84
You know, you're gonna be judged like everybody else in this competition.
85
Yes, chef.
86
Um, the dish does need the sort of stability.
87
It's a staple done beautifully, but missing the rice.
88
Yes, chef, I understand.
89
I'm sorry.
90
Thank you.
91
Thank you.
92
So, what's the idea behind cooking it in the clay pot?
93
It's supposed to aid with the, uh, quicker caramelization and braising of the, uh, product you put inside, chef.
94
Okay.
95
It's got a beautiful aroma.
96
Thank you, chef.
97
Okay.
98
Well, thank you so much.
99
Thank you, Chef.
100
Hi.
101
Hi, sir.
102
I'm Joe, obviously.
103
I've heard you give mean looks, but luckily I can't see it.
104
You have a great advantage.
105
As you talk about your food, not only are you able to express it in words, but your face speaks volumes.
106
Yes.
107
Your eyes beam with happiness and pride and passion.
108
And you have a lot to be proud of.
109
Thank you, sir.
110
It's an amazing, amazing accomplishment.
111
Thank you, sir.
112
Okay.
113
Joe, yes or no?
114
100% yes.
115
Thank you, sir.
116
Graham, yes or no?
117
Um, everybody has a story and has things that they have to overcome.
118
Judge solely on that dish.
119
Yes, chef.
120
I'm a yes.
121
Oh, God.
122
Thank you, chef.
123
Your personal challenge aside, for me, that's one of the most delicious dishes I've tasted in this competition so far.
124
Do you know what I'm gonna give you?
125
A white apron.
126
A white apron.
127
Congratulations.
128
Thank you.
129
I'll come and get it.
130
Congratulations.
131
Thank you so much.
132
I mean, really, good job.
133
Thank you.
134
Well done.
135
Thank you.
136
Wow.
137
I'm so touched that they all complimented me on my food and they believed in me so I feel ecstatic.
138
For everyone in America, you can overcome anything you want to overcome
139
and get what you want to get and I'm going to be the next MasterChef.

Сценарий: Аудитсия на MasterChef
Диалог из видео показывает реальную ситуацию: слепая поварша Кристина проходит аудицию на популярном шоу. Она общается с судьями, рассказывает о себе, своем блюде и мотивации. Такие разговоры полны естественной речи — коротких фраз, эмоциональных выражений и повседневных коллокаций, которые отлично подходят для практики говорения.
Полезные выражения и коллокации
- "set aside my thesis" — отложить диссертацию. Пример: "She set aside her work to travel." (Она отложила работу, чтобы поехать в путешествие.)
- "comfort food" — утешительная еда. Это блюда, которые ассоциируются с теплыми воспоминаниями. Например: "Mashed potatoes are my comfort food." (Картофельное пюре — моя утешительная еда.)
- "biggest fan" — самый большой поклонник. Используется для описания близких людей, поддерживающих вас: "My mom is my biggest fan." (Мама — мой самый большой поклонник.)
- "braised in a clay pot" — тушеный в глиняной горшке. Это специфическая техника готовки, которая часто упоминается в кулинарии: "The meat is braised in a clay pot for 2 hours." (Мясо тушат в глиняной горшке 2 часа.)
Ваше задание на shadowing
Shadowing — это эффективная техника для улучшения произношения и интонации. Для практики используйте отрывок с аудицией Кристины. Сделайте следующее:
- Посмотрите видео 2-3 раза, чтобы понять смысл и ритм речи.
- Включите запись и повторяйте фразы сразу за спикером, стараясь копировать его интонацию и темп. Начните с коротких фрагментов, например: "I love food. I love eating it. I love creating it."
- Повторите упражнение, пока ваша речь не станет плавной и естественной. Используйте shadowing site или приложения для записи своей речи и сравнения с оригиналом.
Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
