1
This is the final day of the seven day shadowing challenge.
2
If you've been here every day this week, I am so proud of you.
3
You've practiced six real life conversations already,
4
and your mouth has done more English work in seven days than most learners do in a month. So congratulations.
5
Today's conversation is the hardest one of the week.
6
Of course, I saved it for last on purpose.
7
is not what you were supposed to get, you have to call customer service, stay calm, explain what went wrong, and push for a solution without being rude.
8
This requires a very specific kind of language, the kind most English learners never practice because it means asking for things, not just being polite.
9
Here are the words and phrases you need to know first.
10
To raise a complaint.
11
To raise a complaint means to formally tell a company that something went wrong and that you expect it to be fixed.
12
It is more serious than casually mentioning a problem.
13
Next, order number.
14
Your order number is the reference code you receive when you buy something online.
15
Always have it ready before you call customer service.
16
It will be the first thing they ask for.
17
Then, Incorrect item An incorrect item means you received the wrong product.
18
A different color, the wrong size, or something completely different from what you actually ordered.
19
Next, to process a return, and when a company processes a return, they begin the steps to collect the wrong item back and issue a refund or send a replacement.
20
Then, Prepaid Return Label.
21
A Prepaid Return Label is a shipping label the company sends you
22
so you can post the item back without paying for postage yourself.
23
They cover the cost.
24
Next, Replacement.
25
A replacement is a new, correct version of the item the company sends you in place of the wrong or damaged one you received.
26
Then refund.
27
A refund is your money returned to you, usually back to the original card or account you paid with.
28
Next, to escalate.
29
To escalate means to take your complaint to a higher level.
30
You asked to speak to a supervisor or manager when the first person was unable to resolve it.
31
Then, Priority shipping.
32
Priority Shipping is a faster delivery option that gets your package to use sooner than standard shipping usually for an extra fee.
33
And finally, to bear with someone.
34
To bear with someone means to stay patient while they look something up or sort something out.
35
"Bear with me" is a natural, polite way of asking you to wait just a moment.
36
By the way, since this is the final day, I want to tell you about something that pairs really well with the work you've been doing all the week.
37
It's called Turbo English.
38
It's buy two, get one free, on the LinguaTrip handbooks.
39
We built two different sets depending on where you're stuck.
40
The first set is for speaking and vocabulary.
41
It's for you if you have been shadowing with me all week and you want to keep going.
42
It gives you the natural expressions native speakers use in If today's complaint dialogue felt hard,
43
this set is what you need next.
44
And the second set is for grammar.
45
It's for you if you keep getting confused by the same grammar rules over and over, especially the tenses.
46
Present perfect versus past simple, conditionals, all the things that make you hesitate when you speak.
47
The set breaks them down with examples that actually stick.
48
Each set is around $12, less than one private lesson, and because it's buy two, get one free, you're really getting three handbooks for the price of two.
49
is in the description.
50
Okay, now let's get into today's conversation, the last one of our challenge.
51
- Thank you for calling Maple & Co.
52
Customer Service.
53
My name is Ryan.
54
How can I help you today?
55
Hi Ryan, I am calling because I received my order yesterday, but there is a problem with it.
56
I got completely the wrong item.
57
Oh, I am sorry to hear that.
58
I can absolutely help you sort this out.
59
Can I start with your order number?
60
Yes, it is MC -4.
61
49 -28731.
62
Thank you.
63
Bear with me one moment while I pull that up.
64
Okay.
65
I have got your order here.
66
You ordered the gray wool throw blanket, correct?
67
That is right!
68
But what I actually received was a blue cotton one.
69
Different color.
70
Completely different material.
71
I completely understand, and I sincerely apologize for that.
72
That should not have happened.
73
So what I can do is arrange a return of the incorrect item and get the right one sent out to you.
74
Okay.
75
And realistically, how long is all of that going to take?
76
Because I bought this as a birthday gift and the birthday is coming up soon.
77
I understand the time pressure, so the process is normally this: we email you a prepaid return label, at no cost to you.
78
you send the item back.
79
And once we receive it, we process the return within two to three business days.
80
The replacement would then ship and reach you in five to seven business days after that.
81
That might be too slow, honestly.
82
The birthday is 10 days away.
83
Is there anything you can do to speed it up?
84
Let me see what options I have.
85
I can flag your replacement as priority shipping, which would bring the delivery time down to two to three business days after we process the return.
86
I want to be upfront though.
87
I cannot promise an exact date.
88
I appreciate the honesty.
89
Can I ask one more thing?
90
Do I need to wait for you to receive the return before you send the replacement?
91
Or is there any way to send it out now?
92
Given that this was your mistake, not mine, That is a fair point.
93
And I completely understand why you are asking.
94
Normally we do require the return to be initiated first, But given that this was our error, Let me check with my supervisor and see what I can do.
95
Would you mind holding for just a minute?
96
Not at all.
97
Go ahead.
98
Thank you so much for holding.
99
So I spoke with my supervisor, and because this was clearly our mistake, We are going to ship the correct item out to you today with priority shipping.
100
You do not need to wait.
101
You will receive a separate email with a prepaid return label for the Blue Throw
102
and you have 30 days to send it back at your convenience.
103
That is brilliant.
104
I really appreciate you sorting that out.
105
It is absolutely the least we can do.
106
You will get a confirmation email within the hour with a new tracking number.
107
Is there anything else?
108
I can help you with.
109
No, that is everything.
110
Honestly, thank you so much, Ryan.
111
You handled this really well.
112
That means a lot.
113
Thank you.
114
I hope the gift arrives in time and that your friend has a wonderful birthday.
115
Thank you.
116
Fingers crossed.
117
Have a good day.
118
You too.
119
Take care.
120
Goodbye.
121
Bye.
122
Now it is your turn.
123
The conversation will play again, and this time, say the customer's words out loud at the exact same time you hear them.
124
Same pace.
125
Do not wait.
126
Here we go.
127
Thank you for calling Maple & Co.
128

201
Maybe you don't notice it yet, but you will the next time you have to speak English in real life.
202
The freezing happens less, the words come faster, you're not searching for them anymore more, they were just there.
203
I want to hear from you.

205
Tell me what day was the hardest for you, which one surprised you, and how you feel right now compared to a week ago.
206
I read every single comment on this channel, and seeing you finish this challenge means a lot to me.

209
Each round, your mouth gets faster.
210
Each round, the words come Thank you for showing up this week.

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. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
