1
You must be Tom. Come in, then.
2
Um, good evening, Mr Hughes. These are for your wife.
3
Very kind. Emily's told us a lot about you.
4
Oh, really? Only the good things, I hope!
5
So, Tom, what do you get up to at the weekends?
6
Well... I read a bit, I go to the gym, I...
7
Are you an outdoors man at all? I'm mad about fishing, myself.
8
Fishing? Oh, I absolutely love fishing!
9
Really? Well, that's wonderful news!
10
What do you go for? Trout? Carp? Pike?
11
Er, all of them, really. The... big ones.
12
Ha! A man after my own heart.
13
Right, that settles it. You're coming with me on Saturday.
14
We'll leave at four in the morning. Bring your own rod.
15
Four in the morning? Wow... that's early!
16
I'm afraid my rod is, um, at my brother's house.
17
No problem at all. I've got a spare one.
18
Mr Hughes... can I be honest with you?
19
Oh dear. What's the matter?
20
I've never been fishing in my life. Not once.
21
I just really wanted you to like me.
22
Not even once?
23
Ha! Emily told me last week, you know.
24
She what? So you knew all along?
25
I did. I wanted to see how long you'd last.
26
Look, honesty matters far more to me than fish.
27
But the invitation stands. I'll teach you myself.
28
Really? Thank you, sir. I'd honestly love that.
29
Good lad. Four o'clock sharp, mind. Don't be late!

Vocabulary and speaking notes for this lesson

This B2 speaking lesson is built on the video “Meeting My Girlfriend's Parents for the First Time”. This video has 29 sentences and 241 words to shadow. The speech runs for 1:52. The speaker talks at a steady 129 words per minute, a comfortable pace for shadowing. Only 81% of the words are among the 3,000 most common in English, so the vocabulary is demanding. 16 of its 29 sentences are questions, so it is good practice for question intonation and short answers.

  • Are you an outdoors man at all?
  • I'm mad about fishing, myself.
  • What do you go for?

  • The “sh” and “zh” sounds: sharp /ʃɑɹp/, invitation /ɪnvɪˈteɪʃən/, fish /ˈfɪʃ/
  • Long words — get the stress right: invitation /ɪnvɪˈteɪʃən/, absolutely /ˌæb.səˈlut.li/

How to practise with this video

  1. Listen to the whole video once without speaking and note the words you do not know.
  2. Shadow it sentence by sentence at normal speed, repeating each one until your rhythm matches the speaker.
  3. Record yourself and compare with the original, paying attention to words like sharp, settle, spare.
