Maybe let's warm up a little bit and grab something to eat first.

11
It's not because I'm scared or trying to stall.
12
I just, I'm hungry.
13
Stop the cow.
14
I decided to grab a little drink to give me a bit more time to rethink my life decisions.
15
I'm really hoping today is not my last day on earth.
16
I still haven't tried In -N -Out yet, so hopefully I can do that before I die.
17
Now, before entering the neighborhood, I figured it'd be a good idea to get some advice from my local.
18
So I walked around, and it didn't take me long to run into someone interesting.
19

70
Right here in this mall.
71

72
Yeah in the parking lots and like last summer they had shootouts in this parking lot.
73
Jane and Finch has the most shootings in the whole of Toronto.
74
You know where you landed?
75
This is the place of all the unwanted.
76
Okay this is where all the unwanted come bro your family
77

79
is rock bottom jaden finch it's rock bottom bro after giving
80
me a rough breakdown of the area we wrapped up our conversation
81
and he left me with one last piece of advice stay
82
in the common areas don't go into the neighborhood do not
83
go into neighborhoods for your own safety okay do not go into the neighborhoods for your own safety.
84
I am in the neighborhood.
85
Really glad that it's sunny today because if it wasn't, I'd probably be pissing my pants right now.
86
Although I was told not to go into the neighborhood, I feel like if I didn't, it would ruin the point of the challenge.
87
And so it was finally time to try and make a friend.
88
The first thing I noticed was despite it being sunny on a Saturday,
89
it seemed like there was barely any people outside.
90
But after walking around for a few minutes, I eventually spotted my first person.
91
I was going to ask her, but I got too scared when I got close.
92
I can't even lie.
93
Who was she talking to?
94
I have no idea.
95
i may have fumbled that opportunity
96
but the next person i saw i was definitely going to
97
ask excuse me sir i'm trying to make a friend in this area
98
and i was wondering
99
if you'd be down to hang out anytime nope no okay
100
have a great day after running into those two people i was still struggling to find anyone outside
101
and then i had a genius idea bus stops excuse me
102
sir i have a really random question for you i was wondering
103
if you would be open to hanging out together nope huh
104
okay no worries have a good day excuse me sir i was wondering
105
if you'd be down to hang out well right now i'm
106
busy right now what another day i might be busy for a
107
while yeah no worries have a great day man okay i
108
have a really random question for you i'm sorry bro no
109
i speak in english oh no english okay okay sorry no
110
worries have a good day no english damn it about an hour had passed now
111
and I was only able to find a few people.
112
So I decided to switch things up and walk to the other side of the hood.
113
I don't know if you guys can see that but there's police officers from afar.
114
We are in an area called Shoreham which the guy was telling me this is either the Bloods or Crips.
115
I don't really remember.
116
I also thought that was a constant thing.
117
I didn't know they kept the same name in Toronto
118
but the fact that there's police officers just walking around is not a great sign.
119
The neighborhood here definitely looks a little bit more sketch than before.
120
I feel like everything about the scenery is telling me not to go in there.
121
All right, let's just go in really quickly.
122
I'll take a few steps in, test the waters out.
123
The fact that I have a camera just makes it so much worse.
124
At this point, I felt like I was in a ghost town the way nobody was outside, and I genuinely did not know how I was going to make a friend
125
but on the bright side this was the perfect time to
126
film the intro okay let's film the intro quick really okay
127
let's film the intro really quick right now i'm in the
128
hood right now i'm in canada's most dangerous right now i'm
129
in canada's most dangerous neighborhood let's find out what it's all about all right i'm out i'm out
130
when i'm scared it's like guys it's coming this way we're
131
cooked might as well get my will ready i saw these kids walking up from a distance
132
and although i considered asking them to hang out i figured
133
that might be a bit weird
134
so instead i asked them for advice i'm trying to make a friend do you guys have any advice for me
135
anything to stay away from
136
or don't say you're part of any game okay what was
137
the most scary experience you guys have gone through here is there anything i got shot like right there in
138
You saw a guy get shot?
139
Yeah.
140
And was it a random shooting or?
141
Not really.
142
Damn.
143
Okay.
144
Well, perfect.
145
Thank you guys so much.
146
I appreciate it.
147
Have a great day.
148
Appreciate it.
149
I had been in the hood for a few hours now
150
and I was starting to feel a bit discouraged about whether I'd actually be able to make a friend.
151
Then all of a sudden, everything changed.
152
Excuse me, sir.
153
I have a really random question.
154
Would you be potentially down to hang out with me?
155
I know like just get to know each other to make a friend um right now
156
if you're not free right now it could be another day
157
sure actually yeah wait what's your name difference difference yeah seiko
158
nice to meet you meet you our hangout would be whatever you want to do
159
if you don't have a preference
160
and like we could figure something out are you actually down yeah that's calm that's calm
161
thank you bro i appreciate you nice to meet you bro
162
do you think like any time today may work not today
163
not today it wouldn't be today another day okay do you mind
164
if i grab your instagram and then
165
if anything we're still you can let me know appreciate you
166
bro yeah yeah have a good one take care have a
167
great day all right dude was hella chill i was kind of stunned the way he said yes
168
so easily like it felt almost too good to be true
169
but i wasn't going to complain all
170
that was left to do was set up a day
171
and time for the hangout okay so i've been texting difference back
172
and 4th and he told me he is down to play basketball today
173
so I'm about to get ready drive to the basketball court
174
and hopefully we just have a good time and he actually shows up
175
and does not bail on me because
176
that would be pretty bad we have officially arrived at the
177
basketball court now all we gotta do is wait for our
178
boy to show up you know they used to call me Jeremy Linden in high school we'll cut
179
that difference texted me the night before
180
that he was going to be at the court at three
181
so i was pretty confident he was going to show up
182
but as time went by i became a bit less confident
183
it's 3 24 right now i guess he's just a little
184
bit late hopefully he uh still shows up though it is
185
3 35 right now i'm genuinely getting a little concerned on where he's at
186
because if he doesn't show up
187
That means I'm going to have to go back to the hood and find another person to hang out with me.
188
And I really do not want to do that.
189
It was getting later and later, and there wasn't much else I could do besides wait.
190
Nope, that's an old lady.
191
Then, just as I was starting to lose hope, I saw someone walking towards the court.
192
I think I see him from a distance.
193
Yes, sir.
194
Okay, our boy's here.
195
Yo, what's good, bro?
196
I appreciate you for coming, man.
197
It means a lot.
198
Your name is Difference, right? wait is it spelt like the actual word difference yeah
199
damn that's like that's really unique i've never heard anyone with
200
that name i guess you could say it's pretty different
201
so i saw on your instagram
202
that you played basketball yes i do you play basketball for
203
a college yeah i play at niagara college yeah yeah my second year okay
204
so yeah we started off by letting difference warm up for a bit
205
and bro was straight automatic from the frito line so
206
when i first came up to you What was the reason you said yes
207
because I was just like a stranger that walked up to you I seen
208
that you guys were recording some I was like curious what's going on I was gonna ask what's going on.
209
Yeah, I thought you know like why not make new friends, you know I don't have a lot of friends.
210
Likewise.
211
I don't have many friends.
212
Yeah, it's good to get to know people Right.
213
You know, it's good.
214
Now it was time to have some fun We played a game of horse
215
and I was actually doing pretty good until he pulled out his ultimate move Hey, oh my goodness.
216
So you live in the Jane and Finch area?
217
Yeah, I live in that building.
218
I came here in 2017.
219
And so you haven't experienced anything, like, too crazy, right?
220
As long as you stay out of the way, you don't do nothing crazy, nothing's going to happen to you, hopefully.
221
I've heard, like, shootings, you know, I've heard a few stuff.
222
But just because we heard that doesn't mean this is not a good community.
223
Like, it's good people.
224
So you find, like, there's a lot of good people here, nice people.
225
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
226
At least like 70 -80 % of the people here, pretty nice, pretty chill.
227
They just stay out of the way, trying to live a life, you know.
228
Difference was explaining to me that the reality of the neighborhood was different from the way the media portrays it to be.
229
And he invited me to walk through it to check it out for myself.
230
Did you walk inside?
231
Like this neighborhood, this specific neighborhood.
232
Did you actually walk?
233
Did you take that little turn right there and just walk inside?
234
I don't think so.
235
You scared?
236
Yeah, I'm not scared.
237
I'm a grown -ass man.
238
But yeah, maybe let's not go there.
239
Wait, why?
240
No, it's really up to you like
241
if you want to come with me like i'll come with you okay i'll come okay well check out
242
that neighborhood i honestly did not know what to expect
243
but as we walked deeper into the neighborhood i was genuinely
244
shocked there was just a bunch of people outside having a
245
good time the adults were talking to each other kids were playing in the playground
246
and there were even barbers giving out free haircuts got haircuts
247
over here very calm it's a good neighborhood we can go
248
to park people are friendly I feel like in other areas it's not like everyone's houses are all around
249
and there's just a park in the middle everyone can come
250
out exactly hang out exactly it's a family you know everybody
251
knows each other it's a good neighbor it's a very very
252
good neighbor actually how are you doing those your neighbors you
253
know I meet on YouTube sorry hello you want to say
254
hi to YouTube my channel is called Seiko yeah appreciate it thank you for the subscribe, man.
255
Thank you.
256
Hey, what's up, YouTube?
257
If anyone got some money, I'm broke, so I need something.
258
Okay.
259
All right, that's enough camera time.
260
When I made this video, I didn't really know what to expect, whether it be a negative or positive experience.
261
Yeah.
262
But I feel like so far, it's been very positive.
263
Like, I met you.
264
You're super nice.
265
Yeah.
266
Showing us the community, which seems like just a bunch of nice people.
267
Yeah, it's a good community.
268
To go from feeling pretty scared at the beginning to then feeling welcomed by the community
269
and seeing how friendly people were was truly an eye -opening experience.
270
It reminded me that there's always another side to a story and sometimes all it takes is keeping an open mind,
271
being friendly, and treating others with respect because you never know how one conversation can completely change your perspective on life.

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.
