1
Good morning, Jane! What’s for breakfast today?
2
Good morning. Emily.
3
I thought we could make pancakes.
4
Yum, that sounds great! What do we need?
5
We need flour, eggs, sugar and milk.
6
I think we have everything. Let’s check.
7
Here's the flour and sugar.
8
Do you see the eggs?
9
Yes. They're in the fridge.
10
Great! Now, where’s the milk?
11
Umm, Jane... I don’t see any milk.
12
Oh no... I forgot to buy milk!
13
Oh no! That’s important for pancakes. What should we do?
14
Maybe we can borrow some from our neighbor, Mrs. Johnson?
15
That's a good idea. I'll come with you.
16
Emily, we have a problem.
17
What's wrong?
18
The washing machine is broken.
19
Oh no! What happened?
20
I was doing laundry and it just stopped working.
21
That's terrible.
22
Did you try restarting it?
23
Yes, but it didn't work.
24
It's completely dead.
25
Maybe we should call a repairman.
26
I think that's a good idea.
27
Do you know any good repair services?
28
I can look one up online.
29
Do you have your phone?
30
Yes, here it is. Thank you, Emily.
31
Hi, we need a repairman for our washing machine. It stopped working.
32
Sure, I can come by this afternoon. What’s your address?
33
132, My Street, Kingston.
34
Okay, I've got it.
35
Thank you. See you soon.
36
Did they say when they can come?
37
Yes, they’ll be here this afternoon.
38
Oh no, I don't have enough change.
39
How much do you need?
40
I’m short by 50 cents.
41
Let me check if I have some change.
42
Here you go, 50 cents.
43
Thanks so much, Alex.
44
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
45
Don’t worry about it. It’s just 50 cents.
46
Still, I appreciate it.
47
What did you get?
48
Just a soda. I really needed something to drink.
49
Yeah, it's really hot today.
50
Exactly. And soda is the best option for cooling!
51
Did you hear about what happened with Lisa at work?
52
No, what happened? Tell me!
53
So, apparently she had a huge argument with her boss yesterday.
54
Really? What was it about?
55
I heard it was about the project deadline.
56
She said the timeline was impossible, but her boss kept saying she had to do it.
57
Wow. That's intense.
58
How did it end?
59
Well, Lisa stormed out and hasn’t come back to work since.
60
Everyone's talking about it.
61
I can imagine. Office drama is always so interesting.
62
Totally. And get this, I also heard that John and Rachel are dating now.
63
No way! I thought John was still with his girlfriend from college.
64
They broke up last month.
65
Oh no! A bird just pooped on me!
66
Oh no! That’s so unlucky. Are you okay?
67
I’m fine, but my favorite shirt is dirty!
68
I hope the stain comes out. This is my favorite shirt.
69
Don’t worry. We’ll use some stain remover and it should be fine.
70
Emily, I ran out of toothpaste.
71
Did you check the bathroom cabinet?
72
Yes, I looked everywhere. There’s none left.
73
Do you need to brush your teeth now?
74
Yes. I have to leave for work soon.
75
You can use mine. I have an extra tube in my room.
76
Really? Thanks, Emily. You’re a lifesaver.
77
No problem. Let me get it for you.
78
Here you go. This should last until you can buy more.
79
Thanks so much. I’ll buy a new tube on my way home from work.
80
Emily, the power went out.
81
Do we have candles?
82
Yeah, I have some in the kitchen.
83
Let me get them.
84
Great, let’s light them up.
85
Hey, since it’s dark and spooky, why don’t we tell some ghost stories?
86
That sounds fun! Do you have a good one?
87
I have one. It’s about a haunted house. Ready?
88
Ready. Once upon a time, there was an old house at the end of the street.
89
Everyone said it was haunted.
90
People would hear strange noises at night...
91
They heard footsteps, whispers, and sometimes, even screams.
92
That’s creepy! What happened next?
93
One night, a brave man decided to spend the night in the house.
94
He heard the noises too. He followed them to the attic...
95
Suddenly, the door slammed shut behind him.
96
He was trapped.
97
He heard a knock outside the window and saw a shadow.
98
What did he do?
99
He tried to escape, but the shadow got closer and closer until...
100
Ahhh! What was that?!
101
I don’t know! Maybe it’s just the wind.
102
Sarah. I can't remember my password.
103
Heh? For which account?
104
For my email. I need to check some important messages.
105
Did you try all the usual passwords?
106
Yes, I tried everything I could think of.
107
Maybe you wrote it down somewhere?
108
I usually do, but I can't find it now.
109
Why don't you try the 'Forgot Password' option?
110
Good idea. Let me see.
111
What does it say?
112
It's asking for my security questions.
113
Do you remember the answers?
114
I hope so. Oh! It worked.
115
Done. Now it’s asking for a new password.
116
Make sure to write it down this time.
117
I will. All set. Thank you so much, Sarah.
118
Emily, my favorite show isn’t on.
119
Really? What happened?
120
I don’t know. It’s supposed to be on now, but it’s not showing.
121
Did you check the TV guide? Maybe they changed the schedule.
122
Good idea. Let me check.
123
It says there’s a special event on tonight, so my show is canceled.
124
That’s disappointing. Do you want to watch something else?
125
I guess we could.
126
Do you have any suggestions?
127
How about we watch a movie instead?
128
I have a few good ones saved.
129
That sounds like a good idea. What movies do you have?
130
I have some comedies and a couple of new action films.
131
Let’s watch a comedy. I could use a good laugh.
132
Okay. Do you want some popcorn?
133
Yes, please. I’ll get the popcorn while you start the movie.
134
So, for the next project, I think we should...
135
Oh no! I spilled water on my laptop!
136
Jane! Quick, turn it off and unplug it!
137
Okay, it’s off. What do I do next?
138
Use these napkins to dry it off as much as you can.
139
I hope it's not ruined.
140
Let's also leave it open to air dry.
141
Don't turn it on until you're sure it's completely dry.
142
Got it. No problem.
143
Do you have important files on there?
144
Yes I do. I really should back them up more often.
145
It's a good habit to have.
146
Do you use any cloud services?
147
Not regularly. I guess I should start using one.
148
Definitely. It’s really convenient and keeps your data safe.
149
Do you have any recommendations?
150
I use Google Drive and Dropbox.
151
Both are reliable and easy to use.
152
I'll look into those. Thanks, David.
153
Jane, are you okay? You don’t look so well.
154
Oh, I have a cold.
155
I've been feeling terrible all day.
156
Oh no, Jane. That’s awful. Do you need anything?
157
I could use some tea and maybe some tissues.
158
My nose is really stuffy.
159
Of course. I’ll make you some tea right away.
160
Do we have any medicine?
161
Yes, I think there’s some in the bathroom cabinet.
162
Okay, I'll get that for you, too.
163
Here you go.
164
Oh, thanks so much, Emily.
165
No problem. How long have you been feeling like this?
166
Since yesterday.
167
I think it got worse overnight.
168
Did you get any rest?
169
Not much. I kept waking up because I couldn’t breathe well.
170
That sounds rough. Maybe you should see a doctor if it doesn’t get better soon.
171
I will if it gets worse. Hopefully, it’s just a minor cold.
172
Excuse me, I have an appointment with Dr. Lee.
173
What is your name, please?
174
Anthony. Please follow me.
175
Dr. Lee is in the second room.
176
Thank you! Hi, Dr. Lee.
177
Hi Mr. Anthony.
178
Why are you here today?
179
My wisdom tooth hurts.
180
For how long?
181
Four days. Okay, let me check it first.
182
Can you open your mouth, please?
183
Yes. A bit wider.
184
Is everything okay?
185
You've got a bit of decay in this one.
186
Is it serious now?
187
Yeah... You have to take this tooth out!
188
Oh, my gosh.
189
No worries.
190
You will feel better right after it is removed.
191
Jesus! You're still asleep?
192
Oh, my.,, What time is it now?
193
Gosh, Leah, it's 2 P.M...
194
and you're still asleep!!!
195
All you do is partying all night and come home late!
196
Don't be a spoilsport, Michele.
197
The party last night was lit!
198
You should've been there instead of staying at home reading all those boring books!
199
Yeah, because these so-called boring books don't get me an F like your cool party!
200
And I gotta tell you, the final exam is next week.
201
You'd better get ready for it.
202
Wait, what?
203
OMG how can I not know this?
204
Jesus, Can I borrow your notes?
205
Gosh, you don't even go to class.
206
Well, I'll wake up early tomorrow then.
207
You only do that when pigs fly, Leah! I know you so well!
208
Newton. I need Paul Moran's file.
209
Here you are.
210
Thank you. Have you finished the research Bella asked you to do?
211
She said she'll need it next week. So I'll finish it later.
212
Really? I just talked to her.
213
She said she'd like to meet you to get a report on the research.
214
I don't know.
215
I guess she wanted to discuss something about research.
216
Newton. Have you finished the research yet?
217
Not yet... But I need it now.
218
But you said I can finish it next week.
219
I know. So now you and I will do it together.
220
I want it as soon as possible.
221
Ok. Let's do it.
222
Hi, Ms Flight Attendant.
223
Can I get a glass of water, please?
224
Sure thing.
225
Would you like ice with that?
226
Probably not, just plain water is fine.
227
Here you go!
228
Is there anything else I can get for you?
229
Actually, yes.
230
Can I get a blanket and a pillow?
231
I'm feeling a bit cold.
232
Of course! Excuse me.
233
Sorry to bother you again.
234
Can I order a meal for the flight?
235
Absolutely.
236
We have a few options to choose from.
237
Are you in the mood for something specific?
238
I'm thinking of the chicken dish.
239
Does that come with a side salad?
240
Yes, it does.
241
And would you like anything to drink with that?
242
Can I get a glass of orange juice, please?
243
Of course! And for dessert, we have a choice of apple pie or cheesecake.
244
Which would you like?
245
I'll have the apple pie.
246
Great! I'll put in your order, and it should be served shortly.
247
Is there anything else I can get for you?
248
No. That's all for now.
249
Thank you! You're welcome.
250
Don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything else during the flight.
251
Hey, Jack! If you could have your dream house, what would it be like?
252
Oh, that's an exciting question, Emily.
253
Let me picture it.
254
Well, my dream house would be a cozy cottage nestled in the countryside.
255
That sounds lovely, Jack.
256
What features would your dream cottage have?
257
I imagine it with a charming stone exterior, a thatched roof...
258
and a beautiful garden surrounding it.
259
That sounds picturesque.
260
How about the interior?
261
What would it be like?
262
Inside, I'd love to have a small living room with a fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings.
263
The kitchen would be bright and open...
264
with a large farmhouse style dining table.
265
That sounds inviting.
266
And what about the bedrooms?
267
I'd have a master bedroom with a big window overlooking the serene countryside.
268
And a guest room for friends and family to stay comfortably.
269
It sounds like a peaceful retreat.
270
Any other special features you'd like to include?
271
Absolutely!
272
I'd have a library filled with books and I can work in there.
273
It sounds like a dream come true.
274
I can imagine the tranquility and joy it would bring.
275
Indeed, Emily.
276
Having a home that reflects my personality and provides a sanctuary is something I've always dreamed of.
277
I can understand that.
278
Well, I hope one day your dream house becomes a reality, Jack.
279
Thank you, Emily.
280
Who knows? Dreams have a way of coming true.
281
And what about you?
282
What would your dream house be like?
283
Haizz Are you okay?
284
I'm okay. Just... you know My husband can't say 'no' to anybody at his workplace.
285
The result is him being overloaded with work most of the time.
286
Many a time he even used to work on Sundays.
287
I've heard you say that before.
288
Are you worried about this?
289
No. Last month, my son started his first job Oh, congratulations.
290
But what happened?
291
I told him not to take on more than he can handle like his father.
292
Did he listen to you?
293
Yes. But my advice worked for only one week.
294
After that, he started coming home at 8 pm, then 9 pm.
295
and now sometimes it is 10 or 10.30 pm.
296
Did you ask him why?
297
Yes. He said he could not get a cab.
298
Could that really be the case?
299
But the thing is.
300
on weekends also he sits with a laptop to do office work saying it's urgent.
301
It is truly like father, like son.
302
You got a minute?
303
Yeah, sure.
304
What's wrong?
305
Well, I think we should think about getting a family doctor.
306
What do you think?
307
Family doctor?
308
Why do you bring this up now?
309
Because a doctor is what we need right now. Duh.
310
It makes no sense. Why?
311
The hospital is not very far from here, though.
312
What do you mean ‘Why’?
313
Home health care is essential, especially for our little Mimi.
314
And I don't want to put off my plans to spend the whole day at the hospital, Ben.
315
Gosh, Here we go again.
316
It'd be more convenient and time saving to have a family doctor, don't you think?
317
Waiting at the hospital...
318
Jesus it sucks!
319
Public hospitals are even worse.
320
Come on…it’s not that horrible.
321
Hi, Tracy! Is that you?
322
Yes. Hello, Sam.
323
What are you doing at the airport?
324
Are you going anywhere?
325
No. I just came here to say goodbye to my brother.
326
He's going to study abroad in Finland.
327
That's so cool!
328
I know, right?
329
He's sitting over there waiting for his flight.
330
How about you?
331
Are you going on a vacation or something?
332
Actually I'm flying back to my home country.
333
Where were you born?
334
I was born in London, England.
335
Oh, yeah. I can recognize that you're English from your accent.
336
Hahaha. Oh, sorry, but I have to leave now.
337
No, it's okay!
338
Sure, take care and have a safe flight!
339
See you after the summer!
340
Hannah, I just heard the news.
341
Will you really leave the company?
342
It's true, I'm leaving the company.
343
Oh, no. Why?
344
I see you're still doing a great job.
345
Colleagues also love you very much.
346
I know. And I also love this job, too.
347
But I'm getting married soon.
348
I cannot continue to work so far away from home.
349
I'll miss you so much, Hanna.
350
No one will have lunch with me anymore.
351
Don't worry.
352
We will go for coffee together sometimes.
353
Sure. I handed the job over to Mr. Alex and asked Julia for help.
354
Did you meet our boss?
355
Yes. If you have any difficulty, just call me.
356
Thank you. Are we still going to eat together this evening?
357
Of course! Was the field trip with your class fun?
358
Yes, Mom, It was really fun.
359
Tell me more about it.
360
We went to visit the museum and did pottery.
361
Can you make pottery yourself?
362
Yes. I made a ceramic vase for you to arrange flowers.
363
Wow. That's wonderful!
364
Thank you, honey.
365
I like this trip.
366
What an exciting experience!
367
I'm glad to hear that.
368
But it would be better if the weather wasn't so hot, Right. Today is so hot to go outside.
369
I was so sweaty and drank a lot of water.
370
I know that.
371
Hey, Emily! Have you ever been to a horse race before?
372
No. Alex. This will be my first time.
373
The atmosphere is amazing.
374
I can't wait to see the horses up close.
375
They're such majestic creatures.
376
True! The power and grace of these horses is incredible.
377
Are there any famous horses racing today?
378
Yes, there's a champion horse called Thunderbolt.
379
It's known for its speed.
380
Wow! I hope we get to see Thunderbolt in action.
381
Me too! Let's cheer for Thunderbolt and enjoy the race.
382
Do you know how to bet on the horses?
383
Yes. It's pretty simple.
384
You choose a horse and place your bet.
385
What if I pick the wrong worse?
386
Don't worry, it's all part of the game.
387
Sometimes luck is on your side.
388
Maybe the betting game is not for me.
389
I'll just cheer for all the horses then.
390
I'm gonna be so excited as the horses thunder down the track.
391
The crowd is cheering.
392
Yes. I have some binoculars to get a better view of the race.
393
Wonderful! Now shout like me.
394
Go Thunderbolt!
395
Rachel! I'm here!
396
OMG, I'm so sorry, Linda.
397
The traffic was terrible today.
398
I couldn't even move my car when I was on Main Street.
399
How long have you been waiting?
400
No, Rachel.
401
Take a deep breath and keep calm first.
402
I also just got here And I got stuck in the traffic as well.
403
How did you get here?
404
I came by train.
405
And the train I went to was crowded with people.
406
I felt like there was someone stepping on me.
407
Hahaha! Yeah, you're right.
408
Today is the weekend, so everybody's out.
409
I hope the movie we're about to go to will not be too crowded.
410
Have you ever read any Grimm Brothers fairy tales?
411
Yes! A lot!
412
Especially when I was young.
413
My grandma always read Grimm’s stories to me.
414
Cool! What is your favorite one?
415
I'd say Cinderella is the best of the best!
416
I love the motif of how the villains get punished, and how the good people like Cinderella get help from the fairies.
417
I know, right?
418
To me, Snow White and Cinderella are somewhat similar.
419
Snow White is also a nice princess who got help from the dwarfs.
420
Yeah! And both of them got married to handsome princes!
421
That's the most exciting part! Hahaha!
422
Emma, what are you studying so intently?
423
I want to find out more information about aliens after watching the movie "Home" last night.
424
Sounds interesting, so what was that movie about?
425
It theorizes that one day the Earth will be controlled by aliens.
426
The film revolves around the challenging and humorous journey to find a mother of little Tucy and Oh.
427
How did you find that movie?
428
An interesting movie full of adventure, but also very meaningful.
429
The two main characters of the film are total opposites, but they gradually become close.
430
They go together and realize many valuable lessons together.
431
I'm curious how the friendship between humans and aliens will be.
432
I'll probably look for that movie today.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar.
