Some Visitors for Carol Two hours later, a tall man arrived at the hospital.
2
He asked to see the woman in yesterday's street accident.
3
He didn't know her name.
4
The doctor came downstairs.
5
"'Who are you?' she asked the man.
6
"'My name is Pavel Brechter.
7
I saw the accident and I called the ambulance.
8
Is the woman all right?
9
I just wanted to know that.
10
I was afraid she was dead.' The doctor smiled.
11
Would you like to see her?
12
She's much better now.
13
Yes, please, answered Pavel.
14
Then come with me.
15
They went upstairs in the lift and walked along to Carol's room.
16
At the door they stopped and looked in through the window.
17
She's sleeping, said the doctor.
18
But she looks well, said Pavel.
19
Yesterday she looked so white.
20
I was afraid for her.
21
Just then, Carol opened her eyes and saw a man through the window in her door.
22
She sat up.
23
"'Jan!' she shouted.
24
"'Jan!' "'Oh dear,' the doctor said.
25
Not again.' She hit her head in the accident, and she's confused about some things.
26
She thinks that you are her husband from England.
27
Shall I go? asked Pavel.
28
Perhaps it's better.
29
Yes, answered the doctor.
30
She went into Carol's room and closed the door.
31
Pavel walked slowly back to the lift.
32
Then the lift door opened and a man ran out with some beautiful red flowers in his arms.
33
He looked at the numbers of the rooms, and then went quickly into Carol's room.
34
He didn't see Pavel.
35
But an older man came slowly out of the lift next.
36
He saw Pavel and stopped suddenly.
37
Pavel stopped too.
38
I'm sorry, said the old man.
39
My eyes aren't very good.
40
I thought...
41
You see, you look...
42
Yes, I know, said Pavel.
43
I saw your friend.
44
He's not my friend.
45
He's my son.
46
Please tell me.
47
What is your name?
48
Pavel Brichter.
49
The old man looked very afraid.
50
His face went white and his mouth opened and closed.
51
But he said nothing.
52
Now Pavel was afraid.
53
You don't look Very well," he said.
54
Would you like to sit down?
55
And shall I call a doctor?
56
There's a doctor in this room here.
57
Please, said the old man.
58
My son is in that room.
59
Please take me to him.
60
Pavel took the old man's arm.
61
In Carol's room, Jan put the red flowers on the bed and took his wife's hands.
62
Oh, my love, are you alright?
63
He said.
64
I can't understand it.
65
Why did you run in front of a bus?
66
How did it happen?
67
Carol didn't answer his questions.
68
Jan?
69
She looked up into his face.
70
You are Jan?
71
Tell me that you're Jan?
72
Of course I'm Jan.
73
What are you talking about?
74
The doctor came up to the bed.
75
Wait a minute, she said.
76
You told me that your name was Pavel Brichter.
77
Are you Mrs Vlach's husband or not?
78
Just then, Carol looked behind Jan.

She saw Pavel with Jan's father through the window of her door.

81
Who is that? she said.
82
Jan and the Doctor turned and saw Pavel.
83
My God! said Jan.
84
I don't know.
85
The doctor looked back at Yarn's face.

Two men, but only one face, she said quietly.

Jan stood up.

Exploring "Christmas in Prague Chapter 5": A Real-Life Dialogue for English Practice
The video "Christmas in Prague Chapter 5" offers a vivid, conversational scene set in a hospital, where characters navigate emotions, confusion, and unexpected encounters. This realistic dialogue is perfect for practicing everyday English, as it includes natural speech patterns, emotional cues, and common phrases—ideal for learners aiming to improve fluency, especially for IELTS speaking practice.
Top 5 Phrases for Daily Communication
- "Is the woman all right?": A common way to ask about someone's well-being, useful in casual or concerned contexts.
- "She's confused about some things": A gentle way to describe someone's disorientation, helpful for explaining others' states.
- "I thought... You see, you look...": A natural filler phrase to pause and clarify, making speech sound more conversational.
- "His face went white": A vivid description of shock, great for adding detail to stories.
- "Shall I go?": A polite offer to leave, useful in social situations where you want to be considerate.
Step-by-Step Shadowing Guide for This Video
Shadowing (or "shadowspeak") is a powerful technique to mimic pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm. Here's how to use it with this dialogue:
- Listen and repeat short segments: Pause the video after 2-3 seconds of speech (e.g., "Two hours later, a tall man arrived at the hospital") and repeat immediately. Focus on matching the speed and stress of the speaker.
- Emphasize emotional tones: Notice how Pavel's concern ("I was afraid she was dead") and the doctor's calm ("She's much better now") affect their pitch. Shadow these nuances to sound more natural.
- Practice overlapping speech: For faster exchanges (e.g., the doctor and Pavel's quick questions), play the video and start speaking just as the speaker finishes. This trains your brain to process and respond quickly, key for IELTS speaking practice.
- Record and compare: Record your shadowing and play it alongside the video. Note differences in vowel sounds (e.g., "Pavel Brechter") or pauses, then adjust.
Learning English with YouTube videos like this one makes practice engaging and practical. By focusing on shadow speak and real dialogue, you'll build confidence in everyday conversations and boost your speaking skills effectively.
