1
Ugh, finally, my meeting is over.
2
Now I can go home.
3
Excuse me, sir.
4
Can you help me, please?
5
Hmm?
6
Did you call me?
7
Yes, sir.
8
I haven't eaten since yesterday.
9
Can you give me a little money for food?
10
Oh, are you hungry?
11
Did you eat nothing today?
12
No, sir.
13
I only drank some water.
14
I'm very hungry.
15
That's really sad.
16
Wait a moment, please.
17
Thank you, sir.
18
May God bless you.
19
But first, can I ask you something?
20
Yes.
21
What do you want to know?
22
I'll give you $200.
23
$200?
24
Are you serious?
25
Yes, but only if you do a job for me.
26
Sir, I'm poor.
27
I don't do anything wrong.
28
Don't worry.
29
I promise it isn't anything bad.
30
Then what is the job?
31
Please tell me clearly.
32
Not here.
33
Let's sit somewhere quiet.
34
Then I'll explain everything.
35
Mmm, I don't think like that.
36
But I'll listen first.
37
Thank you.
38
After you hear everything, you can decide.
39
Alright, let's go.
40
A little I can believe on you.
41
Hey, come on here.
42
Please sit down.
43
I want to explain everything.
44
Um, I'm okay here.
45
Please tell me.
46
What kind of job is this?
47
First, don't be afraid.
48
I promise I will never hurt you.
49
Then why are you offering me $200?
50
I don't understand.
51
I need someone to pretend to be my girlfriend.
52
Only, only for one day.
53
What?
54
Your girlfriend?
55
No, I can't do that.
56
Please don't misunderstand me.
57
It is only an act, nothing more.
58
Why did you choose me?
59
There are many other girls.
60
Because I don't know anyone who can help me.
61
I saw you, and I thought you might listen.
62
Sir, I don't want to do anything that makes me feel ashamed.
63
I respect your feelings.
64
I promise I will never touch you or ask you to do anything wrong. Can I trust you?
65
Yes, you have my word.
66
You will only meet my family and act like my girlfriend.
67
But why do you need a fake girlfriend?
68
What is happening?
69
My father is forcing me to marry a woman I don't love.
70
I don't know how to stop him.
71
So, you want your family to believe that I'm your girlfriend?
72
Yes, that's all.
73
After one day, I'll pay you the $200 and you can leave.
74
This is a very unusual request.
75
I need a little time to think.
76
Take your time.
77
I won't force you.
78
The decision is yours.
79
I'm sorry, sir.
80
I don't think I can do this.
81
It doesn't feel right.
82
Please don't say no yet Many people have lied to me before They promised good things,
83
but they wanted something bad I understand your fear,
84
but I'm not like those people How can I believe you?
85
We met only a few minutes ago You're right,
86
you don't know me Then why are you offering so much money to a stranger like me?
87
Because I have no other choice.
88
My father won't listen to me anymore.
89
I still feel something is wrong.
90
What if you change your mind later?
91
I won't.
92
You can leave any time if you feel uncomfortable.
93
Really?
94
You won't stop me?
95
Never.
96
Your safety and respect are more important than my problem.
97
Hmm, your words sound honest, but my heart is still afraid.
98
That's okay.
99
I don't want you to trust me quickly.
100
Alright, I'll listen one last time, but if I don't like your plan, I'll leave immediately.
101
That's fair.
102
Thank you for giving me one chance Now I'll tell you everything honestly I'm listening.
103
Please don't hide anything from me My father wants me to marry a girl named Anna,
104
but I don't love her at all Then why don't you simply tell your father the truth?
105
I already told him many times, but he never listens to me.
106
Why is he forcing you to marry her?
107
Because Ana's family is very rich.
108
My father wants our families to join together.
109
So this marriage is only about money?
110
Yes, my father thinks money is more important than happiness.
111
And what did he tell him?
112
I told him I already have a girlfriend, but I lied.
113
You lied?
114
So you don't have a girlfriend?
115
No, I said that because I wanted to stop the marriage.
116
Now I understand why you need my help.
117
Exactly.
118
I only want you to act as my girlfriend for one day.
119
I promise I will respect you all the time.
120
You really won't touch me or ask me to do anything wrong.
121
Never.
122
I give you my word.
123
You will be completely safe with me.
124
Hmm.
125
Your story sounds true, but I'm still a little nervous.
126
That's normal.
127
If you don't feel comfortable, you can say no. I will still respect your decision.
128
Give me a few minutes to think.
129
This is a very big decision for me. Of course.
130
Take all the time you need.
131
It isn't an easy decision for me.
132
I understand.
133
Whatever you decide, I will respect it.
134
But you have been kind and honest with me.
135
Thank you for saying that.
136
I promise I won't break your trust.
137
If I feel uncomfortable at any time, I'll leave immediately.
138
You can leave whenever you want.
139
I won't stop you.
140
And promise me no lies, no bad behavior, and no touching me.
141
I promise.
142
I'll treat you with respect from beginning to end.
143
Alright, I'll help you for one day.
144
Really?
145
Thank you so much.
146
You don't know how much this means to me.
147
Don't thank me yet.
148
I'll give you the full $200 just as I promised.
149
Then when do we start?
150
Tomorrow morning.
151
I'll come here at 9 o 'clock and pick you up.
152
Okay.
153
I'll be here on time.
154
great tomorrow you'll meet my father
155
and Anna I hope everything goes well I'm already feeling nervous
156
don't worry I'll be with you the whole time come with
157
me Lisa we need to buy some clothes before tomorrow clothes
158
no Tom I already have something to wear I want my family to meet you with confidence.
159
These clothes look very expensive.
160
I can't accept them.
161
Don't worry about the price.
162
I'm paying for them.
163
No, I don't want people to think I'm taking your money.
164
Lisa, these aren't gifts.
165
They're only for tomorrow.
166
Even then, I don't feel comfortable wearing such expensive clothes.
167
Why not?
168
They will look beautiful on you.
169
Because they don't belong to me.
170
After tomorrow, I'll return them.
171
Return them?
172
You don't have to do that.
173
Yes, I do.
174
I only agreed to help you.
175
I didn't agree to accept expensive things.
176
You're very different from other people.
177
Difference?
178
What do you mean?
179
Many people would happily take everything, but you refuse even when I offer it.
180
My mother always told me, never take what you don't earn.
181
Your mother taught you a beautiful lesson.
182
Then, may I choose something simple instead? Of course.
183
Choose whatever makes you feel comfortable.
184
Thank you, sir.
185
That would make me much happier.
186
Tom, what are you doing here?
187
I was looking for you everywhere.
188
Oh, David, I just finished shopping.
189
What's the matter?
190
I saw you with a young woman.
191
Who is she?
192
Her name is Lisa.
193
She's my girlfriend.
194
Your girlfriend? Since when?
195
You never told me about her.
196
Because she isn't really my girlfriend.
197
It's a long story.
198
Wait, what?
199
Then why did you call her your girlfriend?
200
You know, my father is forcing me to marry Anna.
201
So you're asking Lisa to pretend to be your girlfriend?
202
Yes, only for one day.
203
I don't know any other way to stop this marriage. Does Lisa know everything?
204
Yes, I told her the truth.
205
She agreed to help me.
206
Tom, this is a very risky plan.
207
What if your father finds out?
208
I know the risk, but I don't want to marry someone I don't love.
209
And what if Lisa gets hurt because of this?
210
I'll protect her.
211
I gave her my word, and I won't break it.
212
Hmm.
213
I hope everything goes well, but I have a strange feeling about this.
214
Why do you say that?
215
Because sometimes fake stories become real.
216
What do you mean?
217
I don't know, but when I looked at you with Lisa, you smiled differently.
218
You're imagining things, David.
219
She's only helping me.
220
Tom, you're finally home.
221
I was waiting for you.
222
Who is the young woman standing outside?
223
Dad, I'd like you to meet someone very important.
224
very important who is she her name is lisa she's my
225
girlfriend your girlfriend what are you talking about i'm telling the truth dad lisa
226
and i love each other since
227
when have you had a girlfriend why didn't you tell me
228
before i wanted to be sure about our relationship first that's why i kept it private.
229
Are you saying all of this because you don't want to marry Anna?
230
No, Dad.
231
I already told you that I don't love Anna.
232
This is unbelievable.
233
I never expected something like this.
234
I know you're surprised, but Lisa is the woman I want to spend my life with.
235
Does Anna know about this?
236
Not yet, but she deserves to know the truth.
237
Hmm, this changes everything.
238
Dad, please don't judge Lisa because she comes from a different background.
239
I haven't judged her yet, but I need to know who she really is.
240
That's fair.
241
You can ask her anything you want.
242
Good.
243
I'd like to speak with Lisa alone. Of course, Dad.
244
She's waiting outside.
245
Bring her in.
246
Let's see if she is really the woman you say she is.
247
All right, Dad.
248
I'll ask her to come inside.
249
Please sit down, Lisa.
250
I'd like to know more about you. Of course, sir.
251
I'll answer your questions.
252
First, tell me, how long have you known my son?
253
We met about six months ago.
254
We became friends first, and later we fell in love.
255
Six months?
256
That's quite a long time.
257
Why didn't Tom tell me about you before?
258
We wanted to be sure about our relationship first.
259
That's why we kept it private.
260
Hmm, I see.
261
And where did you first meet him?
262
We met at a small coffee shop near my workplace.
263
We started talking and we became good friends.
264
What kind of work do you do?
265
I work whenever I can.
266
Life hasn't been easy, but I always try to earn money honestly.
267
Tom comes from a wealthy family.
268
Doesn't that make you uncomfortable?
269
No, sir.
270
I don't look at people's money.
271
I look at their hearts.
272
Why do you love Tom? Because he respects people.
273
He listens before he speaks.
274
That is very rare.
275
If one day Tom loses all his money, will you still stay with him?
276
Yes, sir.
277
Money can disappear, but a good person is hard to find.
278
Hmm.
279
Your answer surprised me.
280
My parents taught me to respect people, not their wealth You speak with confidence,
281
I like that Thank you, sir, I only speak what I believe All right, Lisa, thank you for your time,
282
we will talk again later Thank you,
283
sir So, you're Lisa, I've heard a lot about you today I've heard your name, too.
284
Really?
285
Then you probably know I was supposed to marry Tom.
286
Yes, Tom told me about it.
287
I'm sorry if this situation has hurt you.
288
Hmm.
289
You don't look like Tom's type.
290
Why would he choose you?
291
I don't know.
292
You should ask Tom that question.
293
tell me honestly are you with him
294
because he's rich no money can make life easier
295
but it can't buy respect or love that's easy to say
296
if Tom had no money would you still stay with him
297
yes a person's heart is more valuable than a person's wallet you speak very confidently for someone from such a simple background.
298
Being poor doesn't stop anyone from having good values.
299
Aren't you embarrassed to stand in a rich family's house?
300
No. Respect is more important than a big house.
301
Hmm.
302
I thought you would become angry.
303
Anger only creates more problems.
304
I'd rather answer very different from what i expected people often judge others before knowing them
305
maybe i judged you too quickly it's all right we all make mistakes sometimes
306
tom close the door we need to talk right now all right dot i know what you want to say
307
Tell me honestly, are you really serious about Lisa?
308
Yes, Dad, I am.
309
She's poor.
310
She has nothing.
311
I don't care.
312
I love the person, not the money.
313
Love doesn't build a future.
314
Money does.
315
But it can't buy happiness.
316
You're throwing away a wonderful future with Anna It may be wonderful for you,
317
but not for me Anna's family can help our business grow, don't you understand that?
318
I don't want a marriage beast on business Then what do you want?
319
I want to marry someone I truly love You're making the biggest mistake of your life.
320
Maybe, but it will be my mistake, not yours.
321
Have you forgotten everything I've done for you?
322
Never.
323
I respect you, Dodd, but I can't sacrifice my whole life to make you hoppy.
324
So you've already made your decision.
325
Yes, I won't marry Anna.
326
Fine, but don't expect me to accept Lisa so easily.
327
I only ask you to know her before judging her.
328
We'll see, Tom.
329
We'll see.
330
Tom, can we talk alone for a few minutes? Of course.
331
What's on your mind?
332
First, thank you for telling your father the truth.
333
I had no other choice.
334
I didn't want to lie anymore.
335
Actually, I have something to tell you two.
336
What is it?
337
I never wanted this marriage either.
338
What?
339
Really?
340
Yes, my parents forced me to accept it.
341
Then why didn't you tell me before?
342
I was afraid.
343
I didn't want to disappoint my family.
344
I'm sorry, Anna.
345
I thought you wanted to marry me.
346
No, I always respected you, but I never loved you.
347
Then why were you acting so confidently?
348
Because everyone expected me to smile.
349
No one asked what I wanted.
350
I understand that feeling.
351
The same thing happened to me.
352
When I saw you with Lisa, I realized something.
353
What did you realize?
354
I realized you looked truly happy.
355
I've never seen that smile before.
356
Lisa is different.
357
She's kind, honest, and simple.
358
Then don't lose her, Tom.
359
Thank you, Anna.
360
I didn't expect you to say that.
361
Promise me one thing.
362
I promise.
363
What is it?
364
Don't break Lisa's heart.
365
She looks like someone who has already suffered enough.
366
I won't.
367
I promise.
368
Good.
369
Then I hope both of us can finally choose our own future.
370
I hope so too.
371
Thank you for understanding.
372
Lisa, thank you for helping me today.
373
You don't have to thank me.
374
I only kept my promise.
375
Still, you helped me more than you know.
376
I'm just happy everything went well.
377
That's because of you.
378
You spoke with confidence and kindness.
379
I only answered politely.
380
That's how my mother raised me.
381
Can I ask you something? Of course.
382
What is it?
383
Why do you always think about other people before yourself?
384
If I can make someone smile, I feel happy too.
385
Lisa, you're very different from anyone I've ever met.
386
Different?
387
In what way?
388
You don't care about money.
389
You don't complain.
390
I don't have much in my life, but I still have my honesty.
391
That's what I admire the most.
392
Thank you, Tom.
393
Your words mean a lot to me.
394
You know, when I first met you, I only needed your help. And now?
395
Now, I enjoy spending time with you.
396
I don't even want this day to end.
397
Really?
398
I didn't expect you to say that.
399
Neither did I, but every moment with you feels.. special.
400
Let's just enjoy today.
401
You're right, but I have a feeling meeting you has changed my life.
402
Lisa, can we sit here for a few minutes?
403
I want to tell you something important. Of course.
404
Is everything all right?
405
Yes, but my heart has been feeling different these past few days.
406
Different?
407
What do you mean?
408
When I first met you, I only needed your help.
409
I never imagined this would happen.
410
Tom, you're making me nervous.
411
I don't want a fake girlfriend anymore.
412
What?
413
I really love you, Lisa.
414
Tom, are you serious?
415
Yes.
416
This isn't part of our plan.
417
These are my real feelings.
418
But I'm just a poor girl.
419
We come from completely different worlds.
420
I don't care about money anymore.
421
Why would someone like you love someone like me?
422
Because you're kind, honest, and caring.
423
I don't know what to say.
424
You don't have to answer right now.
425
My heart is so confused.
426
Take all the time you need.
427
I'll wait for your answer.
428
I'm sorry, Tom.
429
I can't answer today.
430
That's okay.
431
I respect your decision.
432
Thank you for understanding me.
433
Rhea, you look worried.
434
What happened?
435
Did something go wrong?
436
No, but something unexpected happened today.
437
tell me everything you can trust me you remember Tom the man I told you about
438
yes the rich man who asked you to pretend to be
439
his girlfriend yes today he said he doesn't want a fake
440
girlfriend anymore really then what did he say he looked into my eyes and said I really love you.
441
Wow, I didn't expect that.
442
Neither did I.
443
I couldn't even answer him.
444
Why not?
445
Don't you like him?
446
I do, but I'm afraid.
447
Afraid of what?
448
His family is rich.
449
I'm poor.
450
People will say I only want his money.
451
Lisa let me ask you something okay what is it
452
does he respect you yes he has always respected
453
me has he ever broken his promise no never has he ever treated you badly?
454
No, he's always been kind to me.
455
Then don't look at his money.
456
What should I look at?
457
Look at his heart.
458
A good heart is worth more than all the money.
459
You're right.
460
I think I've been afraid for the wrong reasons.
461
Don't let fear decide your future, let your heart decide.
462
Thank you, Rhea.
463
I think I finally know what I should do.
464
David, I'm glad you're here.
465
I want to ask you something about Tom. Of course, Uncle Richard.
466
What would you like to know?
467
Tom and Lisa seem very close.
468
How long have they been together?
469
Um, they've been together for...
470
Why did you stop?
471
Is something wrong?
472
No, I was just thinking.
473
Tom told me they've known each other for six months.
474
Is that true?
475
Six months?
476
No, Uncle.
477
I think they met only a few days ago.
478
What did you just say?
479
Oh, I mean...
480
David, look at me.
481
Tell me the truth.
482
I'm sorry, Uncle.
483
I didn't mean to say that.
484
So, Tom lied to me?
485
Please don't be angry.
486
He had his reasons.
487
Answer my question.
488
Did they really meet only a few days ago?
489
Yes, they did.
490
Unbelievable!
491
So this whole relationship was just an act?
492
At first, yes, but I think something has changed.
493
Changed?
494
What do you mean?
495
I believe Tom truly loves Lisa now.

Love after only a few days?
497
Sometimes, real feelings come when people least expect them.
498
Enough.
499
I don't want to hear another word.
500
Uncle Richard, please listen to Tom before making any decision.
501
No. First, I'm going to speak with Lisa alone.
502
I want to hear the truth from her.
503
Lisa, please come in.
504
Close the door.
505
I need to ask you something important.
506
Yes, sir.
507
Is everything all right?
508
No. I want the truth.
509
No more stories.
510
I understand, sir.
511
Tell me honestly, when did you really meet Tom?
512
We met only a few days ago.
513
So the six -month story was a lie?
514
Yes, sir.
515
I'm very sorry.
516
Tom asked me to say that.
517
Why did you agree to this plan?
518
Because I needed money for food.
519
Tom offered me $200 to help him for one day.
520
Did he force you to do it?
521
Never.
522
He explained everything first.
523
He even told me I could refuse and walk away.
524
Did he ever treat you badly?
525
No, sir.
526
He always respected me.
527
He kept every promise he made.
528
Then why didn't you tell me the truth earlier?
529
Because I gave Tom my word.
530
I didn't want to betray his trust. And now?
531
Why are you telling me everything?
532
Because you asked me to tell the truth.
533
I don't want to build my future on lives.
534
You know that telling me this could end your relationship with Tom.
535
I know, sir, but I would rather lose everything than lose my honesty.
536
You're not asking me to forgive you.
537
No, sir.
538
I made a mistake and I'm ready to accept the consequences.
539
Hmm.
540
I expected excuses.
541
Instead, you accepted your mistake.
542
My mother always said, one honest truth is better than a hundred beautiful lies.
543
Lisa, today you've taught me something important.
544
Sir?
545
I spent my whole life judging people by their money.
546
Today, I finally saw the value of good character.
547
Thank you, sir.
548
That's the greatest compliment anyone has ever given me.
549
Go home for now, Lisa.
550
I need some time to think. Of course, sir.
551
Whatever you decide, I will respect it.

553
Yes, Tom.
554

Об этом уроке

Вы практикуете английский с "He Asked a Poor Girl to Be His Girlfriend for One Day | English speaking & Conversation practice" с помощью техники Shadowing — метода, разработанного для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков.

Слушайте каждое предложение, обращайте внимание на ударения и связывание звуков, затем повторяйте вслух уверенно. 15–30 минут ежедневной практики дадут заметные результаты.

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.
