Hello everyone and welcome to 3 to Talk,

Today we're talking about something very simple but very important.
5
Three things that make you happy.
6
What brings you joy in your normal, everyday life, we've got some guests here today to share their lists.

Let's get into it.
8
Okay, Leo, you're up first.
9
When I say three things that make you happy, what comes to your mind?
10
That's a good question, Anna.
11
I like very simple things.
12
For me, my three things all happen early in the morning, usually before 7am.
13
Wow, you're an early bird.
14
I'm still asleep at 7 a.m.
15
I know, I know, but it's the best time of day.
16
So, thing number one is the smell of fresh coffee.
17
I'm always the first person awake in my house.
18
The house is completely dark and quiet.
19
I walk into the kitchen, and I turn on the coffee maker.
20
Just hearing the machine and smelling the coffee makes me smile.
21
I totally agree.
22
Sometimes coffee smells much better than it actually tastes.
23
Yes, exactly.
24
Then thing number two happens.
25
My big dog Max walks into the kitchen.
26
He's a golden retriever and he's very sleepy in the morning.
27
He walks over to me and just sits right on my feet.
28
Wait, hold on.
29
Right on your feet?
30
He doesn't just sit next to you?
31
No, right on top of my feet.
32
He's a very big dog.
33
So he's really heavy, but he's also very warm It's the best feeling in the world
34
So I have my fresh coffee in my hand
35
and I have my heavy sleepy dog keeping my feet warm That sounds so incredibly peaceful.
36
I can picture it perfectly So what is the third thing on your list?
37
The third thing is watching the sky change colors My kitchen has a big window.
38
It looks out at my garden.
39
I stand there, drink my coffee, pet my dog, and I watch the sun come up.
40
The sky turns dark blue, then pink, and then bright yellow.
41
It's just beautiful.
42
That really is a perfect morning routine, Leo.
43
Do you get to do this every single day?
44
Almost every day.
45
Sometimes I wake up late and have to rush, but when I get my quiet morning, I just know I'm going to have a great day.
46
Let's look at three useful phrases from Leo's story.
47
Number one is, one thing that makes me happy is...

63
Are your three things about the morning, too?
64

66
My three things are all lucky surprises, things that happen by accident.
67
Oh, I love surprises.
68
What's number one?
69
Number one is putting on a winter coat for the first time in a year, putting my hand in the pocket, and finding a $20 bill.

It feels like free money.
72
Right?
73
You forgot about it, so it's a gift from your past self.
74
Okay, thing number two is also a lucky feeling.
75
It's when you're driving home from work and you hit every single green traffic light.
76
Wait, does that actually happen to you?
77
Because I only ever get red lights when I'm in a hurry.
78
It happens maybe once a year.
79
But when it happens, I feel like a superhero.
80
I just drive all the way home without stopping.
81
It's so smooth and satisfying.
82
It instantly puts me in a good mood.
83
I'm very jealous.
84
Okay, so finding money and getting green lights.
85
What's your third happy thing?
86
The third thing is getting a random text message from a friend I haven't talked to in a long time.
87
Just a simple message saying, Hey, I saw this and thought of you.
88
That's so sweet.
89
It shows they really care about you.
90
Exactly.
91
It means that even though we are busy, and even though we haven't spoken in months, I'm still in their head.
92
It makes me feel really loved.
93
I love that list, Maya.
94
Which of those three things is your absolute favorite?
95
Probably the text message.

Money's nice, but knowing a friend misses you is the best feeling.

Things I can feel, smell, and taste.
117
Ooh, interesting.
118
Let's start with feeling.
119
What is the first thing?
120
The first thing is getting into bed when the sheets are completely fresh and clean.
121
You know, right after you wash them and dry them.
122
Oh, yes.
123
That's a wonderful feeling.
124
They are so crisp and cool.
125
Exactly.
126
I always take a warm shower, put on clean pajamas, and then jump into that clean bed.
127
It's pure happiness.
128
I fall asleep so fast on those nights.
129
Me too.
130
Okay, what about smell?
131
What is your second thing?
132
My second thing is the smell of rain, but specifically rain in the summer, when it's very hot outside and then suddenly a big rainstorm starts.
133
Wait, I know that smell.
134
There's actually a special word for it, right?
135
Yes, I think it's called petrichor.
136
The rain hits the hot, dry road and it makes this dusty, fresh smell.
137
I always open my windows when a summer storm starts.
138
I just sit by the window and breathe it in.
139
It feels like the whole world is taking a bath and cooling down.
140
So, we have clean sheets and summer rain.
141
What is the third thing?
142
Taste?
143
Yes, taste.
144
The third thing is eating a really, really good sandwich when you're extremely hungry.
145
Not a fancy meal.
146
Just a perfect, big sandwich.
147
I completely understand.
148
Like after a long hike or a hard day at work?
149
Exactly.
150
You take that first bite and it has fresh bread, good meat, crisp lettuce.
151
It's just the most satisfying food in the world.
152
Nothing fancy, just perfect.
153
You're making me hungry, Sam.
154
So, your happy things are very physical.
155
Do you do these things often?
156
I try to.
157
I wash my sheets every Sunday, just so I can have that happy feeling at the end of the week.
158
Let's look at three useful phrases from Sam's story.
159
Number one is, one of my favorite parts of the day is...
160
We use this phrase when we want to talk about a part of our day that we really enjoy.
161
For example, one of my favorite parts of the day is having breakfast with my family.
162
One of my favorite parts of the day is relaxing in bed at night.
163
Number two is, I love it when.
164
We use this phrase when we talk about a situation or a moment that we really enjoy.
165
For example, I love it when I get into a clean bed.
166
I love it when my favorite song comes on.
167
Number three is, it's such a feeling.
168
We use this phrase to describe a strong feeling.
169
For example, It's such a relaxing feeling.
170
It's such a happy feeling when I see my family.
171
So, try to remember these three phrases.
172
One of my favorite parts of the day is, I love it when...
173
and It's such a.. feeling.
174
Okay, Chloe.
175
Sam loves physical things like clean sheets and a good sandwich.
176
What are your three happy things?
177
Well, my list is a little bit more about quiet time.
178
I'm a very introverted person, Anna, so my happy things are very calm.
179
That sounds nice.
180
We all need some calm.
181
What's number one?
182
Number one is going to a stationery store and buying a brand new pen and a blank notebook.
183
Really?
184
Just buying a pen makes you happy?
185
Oh, absolutely.
186
I love the smell of the new paper.
187
I love testing all the pens to find the one that writes the best.
188
When I buy a new notebook, I feel like my whole life is organized and perfect. That makes sense.
189
It feels like a fresh start.
190
Yes, exactly.
191
Okay, thing number two is going to sound a little mean, but it's true.
192
My second happy thing is when someone cancels plans with me.
193
Wait, hold on.
194
You like it when people cancel on you?
195
Don't you get sad?
196
No, I love it.
197
Listen, I like my friends.
198
But sometimes I make plans for a Friday night, and then when Friday comes, I'm so tired.
199
I just want to stay home in my pajamas.
200
Ah, I know that feeling.
201
You don't want to go out, but you don't want to be the bad friend who cancels.
202
Exactly.
203
So, when they send a text saying, Hey, I'm so sorry.
204
Can we stay home tonight?
205
I am so happy.
206
It feels like I just won a prize.
207
I put on my comfy clothes and turn on the TV.
208
That's so funny and very honest.
209
So, what is your third quiet, happy thing?
210
The third thing is reading the very last page of a really good book.
211
When the story is amazing and you finally see how it ends, you just close the book, take a deep breath, and hold it to your chest.
212
Oh yes, it's a mix of happy and a little sad because the story is over.
213
Which of these three is your favorite?
214
Definitely the canceled plans.
215
There's nothing better than a free night at home.
216
Let's look at three useful phrases from Chloe's story.
217
Number one is, one of my favorite things is, we use this phrase when we want to talk about something we really like.
218
For example, one of my favorite things is drinking coffee with my friends.
219
One of my favorite things is having a quiet morning at home.
220
Number two is, I feel happiest when...
221
We use this phrase when we want to talk about a situation or moment when we feel very happy.
222
For example, I feel happiest when I have some quiet time alone.
223
I feel happiest when I can stay home on the weekend.
224
Number three is, there's nothing better than...
225
We use this phrase when we want to say that something makes us very happy.
226
For example, there's nothing better than a good meal after a long day.
227
There's nothing better than staying home on a rainy day.
228
So, try to remember these three phrases.
229
One of my favorite things is, I feel happiest when...
230
and there's nothing better than...
231
Okay, David, you are our last guest today.
232
Chloe loves canceled plans and new notebooks.
233
What are the three things that make you happy?
234
Anna, my list is very random, but these three things always, always make me smile.
235
I love random things.
236
Let's hear number one.
237
Number one is making someone laugh, but not just a little laugh.
238
I mean, a really loud, ugly laugh.
239
When they laugh so hard, they can't breathe.
240
Oh, that's a great feeling when you know you are the reason they are so happy.
241
Yes, especially if it's someone who is having a bad day.
242
If I can make them laugh until they cry, I feel so proud of myself.
243
It's the best energy in the room.
244
That is a wonderful thing, David.
245
What is number two?
246
Number two is very different.
247
It's the smell of garlic and onions cooking in a pan with some olive oil.
248
Wait, no way.
249
I was just talking about this yesterday.
250
Are you serious?
251
It's the best smell.
252
Whenever I start cooking, the first thing I do is chop garlic and onions and put them in the warm oil.
253
Before I even make the real food, the whole house smells amazing.
254
It really does.
255
It smells like home.
256
It smells like a warm dinner is coming.
257
Exactly.
258
My family always walks into the kitchen and says, Wow, what are you making?
259
And I say, nothing yet, just the garlic.
260
So that's number two.
261
Okay, making people laugh and frying garlic.
262
What is the final thing on your happy list?
263
The third thing is coming home after a really long, hard day of work, sitting down on the couch and taking off my shoes.
264
Simple, but classic.
265
It really is, especially if you wear tight shoes for 10 hours.
266
When you finally pull them off, your feet can breathe again.
267
It's the moment when you know the workday is officially over.
268
You are home.
269
You are free.
270
That is the perfect way to end the day, David.
271
Is taking your shoes off the first thing you do when you get home?
272
Usually, yes.
273
I don't even say hello to my family yet.
274
I just take off the shoes first.
275
Let's look at three useful phrases from David's story.
276
Number one is, it makes me happy when...
277
We use this phrase when we want to talk about something that makes us feel happy.
278
For example, it makes me happy when I spend time with my family.
279
It makes me happy when my friends call me.
280
Number two is, it always makes my day.
281
We use this phrase when something makes a normal day feel better or happier.
282
For example, getting a nice message from a friend always makes my day.
283
A good cup of coffee in the morning always makes my day.
284
Number three is, it's a great feeling when...
285
We use this phrase when we want to describe a moment that feels especially good.
286
For example, it's a great feeling when you finally get home after a long day.
287
It's a great feeling when you make someone laugh.
288
But try to remember these three phrases.
289
It makes me happy when...
290
It always makes my day. And...
291
It's a great feeling when...
292
Well, those were some great lists.
293
I think the one thing all my guests shared today is that happiness doesn't have to be big or expensive.
294
It's in the small moments.
295
Leo has his quiet coffee.
296
Maya loves those lucky green lights.
297
Sam enjoys his fresh bed sheets.
298
Chloe celebrates her canceled plans.
299
And David loves the smell of cooking garlic.
300

301
What are your three things?
302
Take a moment to think about them today and share your answers with us in the comments.

Ngữ pháp trong video
Những cấu trúc người nói dùng nhiều nhất, kèm đúng cụm từ trong video:
| Cấu trúc | Trong video |
|---|---|
| Thì hiện tại hoàn thành have/has + quá khứ phân từ — việc đã xảy ra nhưng còn liên quan đến hiện tại | haven't talked · haven't spoken |

Phát âm cần chú ý
Người nói dùng 27 dạng rút gọn, ví dụ I'm, you're, don't. Hãy nói theo dạng ngắn đúng như bạn nghe.
- Âm “th”: breathe /bɹiːð/, bath /bɑːθ/, smooth /smuːð/, cloth /klɒθ/

Những âm người Việt thường gặp khó:
- Cụm phụ âm cuối — đọc đủ từng âm, đừng nuốt âm cuối: relax /ɹɪˈlæks/, crisp /kɹɪsp/, blank /ˈblæŋk/, rainstorm /ˈɹeɪnstɔɹm/
- Âm /tʃ/, /dʒ/ và /ʒ/ — tiếng Việt không có, đừng đọc thành “ch” hay “gi”: sandwich /ˈsæn(d).wɪd͡ʒ/, jealous /ˈd͡ʒɛl.əs/, couch /ˈkaʊ̯t͡ʃ/, chop /t͡ʃɑp/, pajamas /pəˈd͡ʒɑ.məz/
- Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: cancel /ˈkæn.sl̩/, relax /ɹɪˈlæks/, sandwich /ˈsæn(d).wɪd͡ʒ/, happiness /ˈhæpinɪs/, fancy /ˈfæn.si/
Cách luyện với video này
- Nghe hết video một lần, chưa cần nói, và ghi lại những từ bạn chưa biết.
- Nói đuổi từng câu ở tốc độ bình thường, lặp lại mỗi câu đến khi nhịp của bạn khớp với người nói.
- Ghi âm giọng mình rồi so với bản gốc, chú ý các từ như phrase, cancel, mood.
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.
