Hello everyone, my name is Dylan and welcome to a brand new video.
2
If you are new here, hi there.
3
I post fun and entertaining English lessons every single Friday.
4
So, in today's video, I'm going to be helping you to improve your British English listening, pronunciation and reading abilities.
5
A three in one.
6
How exciting.
7
How exciting.
8
So how on earth am I going to do this?
9
Well, today I'm going to be reading you another brilliant short story that I have found online.
10
So once again, I have found this story on Reddit and once again, the link will be in the bio.
11
Today's story is a lighthearted one.
12
If something is lighthearted, it means that it is amusing or cheerful.
13
And it's all about someone who has a rather unsettling or worrying experience whilst watching their favourite TV show.
14
It's a good one, I promise, and this is the person watching their favourite show.
15
Now, if I'm honest, this story is quite easy to follow, but just in case there are any parts that you don't understand,
16
I will also be providing you with a quick summary at the end of the video.
17
Finally, if you would like to listen on the go, why not follow my Spotify?
18
It's British Education and the link will be in the top comment.
19
I post weekly videos there as well.
20
Right guys, let's do this.
21
Very quickly before we get started, I also teach private one-to-one lessons online.
22
So if you wish to improve your British English listening, speaking, accent or vocabulary in a fun and interactive way,
23
then you can do so with my personal support.
24
I also teach group classes as well and we actually have a couple of those this Sunday.
25
All of the information is available on my website.
26
The link is in the top comment.
27
Cheers.
28
Rewatch.
29
A show you really love has just released a new season.
30
You learn from a message your friend has just sent and you immediately want to check it out.
31
You do a quick search on your laptop and realise the entire show,
32
including the new season, is only available on one particular streaming service.
33
You're a little annoyed but you get it.
34
They need to make their money, you understand, and navigate to the streaming services sign up page.
35
Whoever made the show probably made some sort of exclusive content rights corporate deal with this streaming service
36
and now they're making everyone sign up if they want to watch the show.
37
You click on sign up and type in your email address.
38
You already have an account, the website says.
39
Did you forget your password?
40
You think about how you don't remember ever visiting this website.
41
But in this day and age, we all go on so many websites on a daily basis without even realising.
42
You've probably just forgotten.
43
You click Login, you type in your email address again, this time to log in rather than to sign up, and when you get to the place to put your password,
44
you realise you've forgotten it.
45
Just a second ago you didn't even remember you had an account, so how could you remember the password?
46
You click, um, I think I've forgotten my password.
47
You think about how websites these days are written as
48
if they're trying to be relatable and human and speak in the first person.
49
It's strange but also comforting in a weird way.
50
The website tells you to check your email.
51
Okay, don't panic, we've just sent you a rescue email.
52
Phew!
53
You open a new tab and log into your email effortlessly.
54
But of course, you'd never forget the password to your email.
55
It's something you're always going to remember.
56
What would happen if you actually forgot this password, though?
57
You open your email inbox, find the email from the streaming service and click the link within.
58
It opens another new tab where the streaming service is now telling you to make a new password.
59
You choose a password, your usual one, and the website doesn't like it.
60
Whoa there, it seems you've already used this password before.
61
Damn it, you think, so that was my password before it hit the, um, I've forgotten my password thing and reset my password.
62
You feel frustrated.
63
All you want to do is watch this show
64
and now it seems like your account for this streaming service
65
is stuck in some sort of limbo where you can't log in and you can't sign up.
66
There's only one way forward.
67
You try another password.
68
You look at the cup of warm steaming oolong tea in front of you and try punching in oolong1 as a password.
69
The website doesn't like that either and instead demands that the new password follow a set of specific rules.
70
Your password must be of at least 12 characters in length, and have at least one uppercase letter, at least one lowercase letter,
71
one special character, and at least three numbers.
72
You're taken aback.
73
Since when did the rules for passwords become so strict?
74
When you were younger, you could get away with just having password as a password, and it would be all good.
75
You think for a moment then you come up with a new password.
76
Oolong, oolong.
77
You've replaced the O's with zeros, you've made the G at the end of the word uppercase and you've repeated the whole thing twice.
78
You sit back and look at it.
79
Now, that's a nicely crafted password, you think.
80
You submit it into the website.
81
To your delight, the streaming service accepts your new password.
82
You feel excitement fill you as your account loads up and you see, right there on the homepage,
83
a promotional banner for the very show you're trying to watch.
84
New season available now, the banner says.
85
You click on it immediately.
86
You sit back as the page buffers and you expect the first episode of the new season to begin playing.
87
Strangely though, it doesn't begin playing from the first episode and instead,
88
for some reason, begins playing somewhere near the end of the last episode of the season.
89
That's weird, you think, clicking the menu icon and selecting the first episode.
90
You suppose you must have clicked something by accident and cause the last episode to play.
91
You shrug and begin watching as the first episode begins play.
92
You watch the episode, getting about halfway through the 55 minutes before unplugging the charger out from your laptop
93
and moving yourself to your bed to watch the rest.
94
You get to the end of the first episode and immediately carry on to the next episode.
95
Halfway through the second episode is when you realise you're out of oolong tea
96
and pause the show to go and make yourself another pot.
97
As the third episode starts, you feel like you should make some popcorn.
98
You lay on the bed and watch, enjoying yourself with this show that you've been waiting so long to watch.
99
But then, as the third episode comes to a close, you have a strange thought.
100
Have I already seen this?
101
The feeling first arrived when, back when you had been watching the first episode of this new season, you felt like, as you'd been sipping on your oolong tea,
102
you had seen one of the scenes before.
103
Then, during the second episode, you felt like you had heard one of the lines of dialogue before.
104
And, in the third episode,
105
you had been munching on some caramel popcorn when you made a prediction to yourself about what was going to happen next,
106
and it had come true.
107
The credits roll at the end of the third episode
108
and you continue to the fourth with a strange numb feeling of déjà vu.
109
You put on the fourth episode hoping
110
that all the weird feelings you're having are all perhaps to do with the familiarity of the previous seasons,
111
which you know for a fact you have definitely seen.
112
Yes, that must be it, right?
113
It's the same show with mostly the same characters and the same storylines, so of course there's going to be some familiarity, right?
114
Yes, that must be it.
115
Of course that must be it.
116
You couldn't have already watched this season because it only just came out.
117
Well, about a week ago.
118
But you'd only heard about it when your friend messaged you earlier.
119
The fourth episode begins and you settle in, excited for what's going to happen next.
120
Then you see something that makes your stomach drop.
121
You see a character appear on screen that you know is dead.
122
He died, you think.
123
He died in the last season, didn't he?
124
You think hard.
125
Wait, when did he actually die?
126
You decide you should probably look it up.
127
You pause the show and pull out your phone, you open the browser app, and begin typing into the search bar the name of the character followed by dies.
128
But before you even finish typing, you discover something.
129
I've already made this search before.
130
There it is, right in front of you, the search engines autocomplete is telling you that you have already searched for this exact thing.
131
This is very bizarre, you think.
132
You go ahead and make the search anyway.
133
You figure it's the only way to get some answers.
134
It comes up with an entire page of results from which you go to the first one and begin reading.
135
Everything seems oddly familiar.
136
You read and find out that this particular character you're searching around for
137
actually dies towards the end of this season you're currently still watching.
138
How can that be?
139
How could you have known he was going to die?
140
Is it the oolong tea?
141
Is it giving you mystical prognostic powers?
142
Hmm.
143
You lay back and think.
144
You have already done all of this.
145
like some sort of warped time travel movie.
146
All this has already happened and now you're reliving it.
147
You think about all the evidence.
148
Okay, I already had an account for this streaming service.
149
The last episode began playing instead of the first.
150
Everything felt familiar as I watched and now I've already made this search before.
151
It seems clear that you have already done all of this, But why can't you remember?
152
There's only one way to find out, you realise.
153
I have to watch the entire season again and make it through to the end.
154
You sit back up on your bed and resume watching.
155
You see that there are a total of 10 episodes in this season and you're currently still on episode 4.
156
Each episode is just under an hour long.
157
It's going to be a long night, you think to yourself, as the fourth episode ends and it auto-plays to the next episode.
158
The fifth episode gets a little more interesting and certain plot lines are getting a little more twisted.
159
For a moment, you forget all about the bizarre occurrences you've been experiencing
160
and actually lose yourself in this show you've loved for so long.
161
Some parts are funny.
162
You laugh.
163
The fifth episode ends on a cliffhanger
164
and you watch the sixth episode laying down with your head on your pillow and watching from a sideways angle.
165
You watch as the story gets thicker and thicker.
166
A little into the sixth episode is when your laptop alerts you
167
that the battery is low and you get up to plug the charger in.
168
You grab the cable to bring it to your bed
169
but you realize it's too short and you're going to have to watch the rest of this at your desk.
170
It's times like these that you wish you had a smart TV
171
so you could watch laying down on a sofa of some sort with no battery-related issues.
172
You sit at your desk and continue watching.
173
You finally make it to the final episode of the season.
174
You're tired and your back hurts from sitting for so long, but you have been determined to get to the end of this season
175
and solve the mystery of why you can't remember watching this show.
176
You see your phone sitting on your desk next to you and realize you still haven't responded to your friend,
177
the text that drove you to begin watching this show in the first place.
178
You pick up your phone and text them back.
179
I've been watching.
180
It's a really good season.
181
The 10th and final episode ends.
182
You look at the time.
183
It's almost 3am and you've finally done it.
184
The episode finishes spectacularly and you're amazed at the journey this whole season took.
185
The twists and turns, the plot development, the unexpected death of certain characters and introduction of new ones.
186
It's all been so fantastic.
187
You kind of wish you could go back and see it all again.
188
As the last scene ends and the credits begin rolling, an alert suddenly appears.
189
Would you like to re-experience this season again?
190
The alert says in bold letters.
191
The smaller text underneath clarifies.
192
Have you ever felt like you've watched something so amazing
193
that you wish could erase it from your memory and go back and watch it again?
194
Now you can.
195
With our new rewatch feature, forget you've ever watched this season and come back to experience it again.
196
Try it now.
197
You're baffled.
198
Is this somehow related to all the strangeness going on?
199
You see there's a small icon of a question mark in the corner of the alert that's labeled, how does it work?
200
You click on it and a new browser tab opens with a whole page of FAQs and information.
201
You read the main paragraph at the beginning of the page.
202
With our latest technology in ultra-anti-electromagnetic wavelengths,
203
the rewatch feature allows you to forget anything you want to forget with just a flash of special light.
204
In scientific terms, they're called Volo Oblivishi waves, but you don't need to worry about all that.
205
Also, we're definitely not doing this to make viewers forget things, just so that they can come back to our platform again and bump up the numbers of views,
206
giving us more leverage on the market share.
207
That would be absurd.
208
You're interrupted by a ping.
209
Your friend has replied.
210
Um, what are you talking about?
211
They say.
212
You're the one who told me to watch it in the first place.
213
You scroll up on the conversation.
214
You go past the recent few messages and see a text you sent to your friend about a week ago.
215
It reads, you have to watch the new season.
216
It's so amazing.
217
It all makes sense.
218
You must have done all of this before and then used the rewatch feature to forget it all ever happened.
219
You close everything
220
and go back to the tab where the show is paused
221
with the alert still showing asking you whether you'd like to try out the rewatch feature, even though it seems like you already have.
222
You think, would you like to watch this whole season again.
223
It was a good time, but then you'll end up going through this whole journey of confusion and mystery all over again.
224
Maybe that's just part of the fun though, right?
225
You click on the Yes Please option on the alert.
226
As you do, another alert pops up saying, Alright, now in order for this to work,
227
you need to concentrate specifically on what you need to forget, i.e. this season you just watched.
228
Try not to think of anything else and keep your eyes open.
229
Are you ready?
230
Another text message pings on your phone, but you're too focused on thinking about the 10 episodes you just sat binge-watching all day.
231
You concentrate.
232
A countdown appears on the screen from 3 down to 1, then a sudden flash of the extremely bright light.
233
You've never seen light this bright coming out of your laptop screen before.
234
You weren't even aware that your screen was capable of producing light this bright.
235
You feel like you're looking at an exploding star.
236
A supernova of energy
237
and light fills the room as your eyeballs feel like they've been taken to the ends of the universe and back.
238
You feel a little dizzy and then… it's over.
239
You look at the screen, which has now reverted back to the home page of the streaming service.
240
You sit and wonder why you have this open.
241
You close the tab and check your phone.
242
There's a text from one of your friends.
243
You open it and give it a read, but you aren't really sure what it means.
244
Wait, you didn't try that rewatch feature again, did you?
245
How many times are you going to do that?
246
The end.
247
Right guys, I hope you enjoyed that story.
248
As mentioned, I will now be providing you with a quick summary.
249
So we have an unnamed person who is just chilling one day, you know, drinking some oolong tea,
250
when one of their friends randomly texts them to tell them that their favourite show has just released a new series, or a new season.
251
So, feeling excited, the person instantly goes to the streaming service to watch it.
252
But upon trying to sign up, the website says that they already have an account, much to the person's confusion.
253
You know, they don't remember ever having signed up.
254
They finally manage to log in and start watching the 10-episode series.
255
However, after the fourth episode, they start having a weird feeling of déjà vu.
256
And déjà vu is, well, it's the feeling you get when you feel as
257
if you have already experienced something that is actually happening for the first time.
258
I used to get this a lot.
259
I don't really like it, to be fair.
260
It's pretty disorienting.
261
Yeah, I'm not really a fan of déjà vu.
262
Anyway, I used to get this a lot.
263
I don't really like it, to be fair.
264
It's pretty disorienting.
265
Yeah, I'm not really a fan of déjà vu.
266
Anyway, certain lines of dialogue, scenes and characters all seem familiar.
267
They were even able to predict what was going to happen next, as if they had seen it all before.
268
I wonder why.
269
But this must be impossible, right?
270
I mean, they only just found out about the new series when their friend texts them.
271
Right?
272
Right?
273
Anyway, after 10 hours, two pots of oolong tea and a bag of caramel popcorn, they finally finished the series.
274
And it was amazing.
275
In fact, they wish they could watch it all again.
276
Coincidentally, it was at that moment
277
that they get a message from the streaming service telling them about their new rewatch feature
278
that pretty much erases your memory and lets you experience it again for the first time.
279
So I don't know if you've seen the film Men in Black but it's the same concept.
280
They show you this very bright light and it not only completely obliterates your retinas but it also erases your memory.
281
So you know a two-in-one, a double whammy.
282
and yeah this is when the person realizes
283
that yeah they have done all of this before they have
284
actually seen this season before they just used the re-watch feature
285
so they couldn't remember and yeah they decide to do it all again as well great
286
and this does beg the question um
287
when are they going to stop doing this when are they going to stop doing this re-watch feature
288
or is this just their existence from now on?
289
You know, oolong tea, popcorn and watching the same show all over again. Who knows? Who knows?
290
And yeah, water for some reason.
291
Cheers.
292
Right guys and there we have it.
293
Thank you so much for watching.
294
I hope you enjoyed today's video.
295
If you did, why not consider liking the video, subscribing to the channel and maybe even commenting down below.
296
It all makes a massive difference.
297
As mentioned, I do also teach private one-to-one classes as well as group classes
298
and we have a couple of those this Sunday.
299
All the information is available on my website.
300
The link is in the top comment and there should be a little pop-up on the screen somewhere as well.
301
if you would like to stay in touch I would recommend following my Instagram
302
which is British Education underscore or my Spotify where all of my videos are posted
303
and you can listen on the go the Spotify is just

309
Cheers.

Về Bài Học Này
Bạn đang luyện tập phát âm tiếng Anh với video "23 Minutes of British English Listening Practice! (MODERN RP)" bằng phương pháp Shadowing — kỹ thuật được Dr. Alexander Arguelles phổ biến rộng rãi.
Hãy nghe kỹ từng câu, chú ý cách người nói nhấn âm và nối âm, rồi đọc lại to và tự tin. Mỗi ngày 15–30 phút luyện đều đặn, bạn sẽ thấy phát âm chuẩn hơn.
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
