Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: a LONG vlog because you asked

Good morning, guys.

It's Syd.

I have, to be honest, been going through a bit of a tough time the past week, and something that's helped me every single day is just getting up and going to a workout class.

The workout itself is helpful, but also just, like, the socialization of being around people in class, like, in that positive environment.

And my friend slash roommate olivia who you guys know is gonna come with me.

We booked it together Actually last night.

Anyways, i'm really excited to hang out with you guys I find it so ironic

because I get quite a few comments from you guys saying how much my videos make your day

and make you just feel Happier

because you guys honestly have like the same effect on me like when i'm filming I don't know.

I just like feel like i'm talking to you guys Like

I feel like you guys are in the room with me

the whole reason I started making vlogs like 10 years ago was because

I was lonely in middle school and here I am again just making my vlogs with you guys.

Wow, I sound like really cheesy right now.

I hope it doesn't come off that way.

Okay, sorry.

I'm gonna stop talking.

Okay guys, I'm late and I need to change my pants.

okay guys

that workout class was not what i thought it was going to be i kind of am feeling really bad

because it wasn't bad it wasn't horrible it was more of like a stretch vibe it's more like yoga yeah

and then we were like separated

because there was no there was no space they were actually

really nice i know they were they were awesome yeah it's

not our vibe i don't know what's in the air

but i've been putting so much more effort into my outfits recently

and i've been having

so much fun like styling them the real ones know i

got this button down in paris in a vlog i think

i'm gonna do this maybe with like some jeans cute what are we think?

Do we like it?

Don't look at my feet.

Throwing hoops in is like the most lazy but yet effective way that I elevate my outfits.

And just as important, a great bag.

This is the Songmont Gather bag and I think it goes so well with my outfit.

I was so excited when Songmont asked to work with me because I love their Gather collection.

They draw a lot of inspiration from nomadic travelers

and one of the features of that is it has this little woven leather string

so you can hang charms or personalize the bag.

The whole bag is just clearly very thoughtfully designed

and even the leather is made of Napa leather so it shows a bit of a two-toned effect.

I also like how I can adjust the strap based on my outfit.

I usually like the shorter one on a day-to-day basis

but you can also interchange it and remove the larger strap if you want to wear that instead.

You can even clip this on your suitcase in the airport which is so convenient.

It just like sits right on top of your luggage.

Anyways you can tell how excited I am about my bag today.

Also they're celebrating their first year anniversary for the Saint-Germain Gather bag.

So if you guys also want to check out the Gather collection and these beautiful bags, I'll put a link to their website in my description.

Anyways, I'm going to leave now and I'm desperately hoping it doesn't rain because it looks like it's about to.

mood is instantly boosted

because it is suddenly sunny it's all it takes for me really the sun

and i'm like 10 times happier i feel like myself again two of my favorite places are bookstores and coffee shops.

I think because, oh, there's a photo shoot happening.

I thought there was paparazzi because I was seeing Flash, but they're not here for me.

Seeing things like that really help my anxiety of filming in public

because there's always just something crazier going on besides me holding my phone, filming myself.

There's this hybrid bookstore coffee shop that I haven't been to in I think at least a year.

I used to go and I love it.

It's like the most, I just think, cozy place in New York.

It's one of my favorite spots.

It's called Biblio...

Oh god, I'm gonna mute that because I didn't say it right.

I hope they have spots because I really just want to sit and journal and kind of do honestly nothing at all.

I have missed this place so much.

I got an iced latte, skim milk, and vanilla.

My usual.

If I look awkward, it is because I feel awkward.

I'm journaling in the same journal that I got in Paris.

If you know, you know.

Journaling is one of those things that everyone always told me to do, and I kind of underestimated the power of it.

It's very therapeutic, but it also really helps me to like discern and understand my thoughts and feelings on things.

Sometimes I feel a certain way but I don't really know how to explain it or understand the feeling.

It's also been really helpful

because I'm at this point in my life where I like don't know what my next chapter holds.

I feel like I always have envisioned my life in like chapters.

I think it's just like part of being in your mid-20s to not know what's next

and I'm such a planner like I like to know what's gonna happen.

I don't want to like rush my life, but I do want to know that it turns out okay.

But it's just like the fear of the unknown.

Hack, go to a cute coffee shop and journal if you're feeling down.

It's the best.

So I spontaneously stopped at this little gift shop called Fest

and thank goodness I did because I met one of you guys, the sweetest, sweetest woman ever.

She was telling me about Boston, she lives there and how I need to visit

so I kind of was just convinced that I need to go on a trip there.

I also got a gift from my mom.

I'll show you guys later.

I'm home and I changed because I was really hot.

I just wanted to show you guys very quickly what I got my mom because it's so cute.

Mom, stop watching.

She's going to watch this.

I just know she is.

There's like no occasion at all for this.

I just really have been missing my mom recently.

I'm hoping to go home soon.

So I want to get this to her when I go back to Minnesota.

It's this little candle.

100

It says brunch in the West Village.

101

My mom loves New York and the West Village is where I used to live.

102

I don't know.

103

I thought it would be sweet Ooh, it smells really good I'm actually just thinking about how crazy it is

104

that I bought this without even smelling it That could have like gone very south nothing crazy.

105

I feel like I really hyped that up

106

But I also decided to stop at walgreens and get little drinks

107

because i'm out of all of them I grabbed some olipops.

108

I love these for like a midday drink These kind of

109

like curb my sweet tooth around like 3 p.m I just like always get the urge to eat something sweet and

110

I don't know these kind of do it for me.

111

So I'm gonna start making dinner I think soon a kind of early dinner I have this new recipe

112

that I have been dying to show you guys for the past Three months

113

that I have been obsessed with so get ready.

114

This is now a cooking channel

115

I don't think I'm this excited to show you guys a recipe in quite a while

116

and this says a lot you know I feel like my

117

evolution of cooking is one of the things I'm most proud

118

of I don't know for those of you who've been here for a

119

while it's been a long journey okay there's a point in college

120

when I would just be eating at crustables and granola bars, which that happens actually, that happened yesterday.

121

Basically, I sort of consider myself like a lazy girl chef.

122

I really like cooking healthy things for myself, but it can't be too long and it can't be too complicated

123

or else I'm just not going to want to do it because I'm lazy.

124

Lazy girl chef originates from that.

125

So anyways, found this recipe, of course, on TikTok and I've been making it non-stop the past three months.

126

Now that I've said this out loud, I really hope I haven't shown you guys this yet.

127

The recipe is basically healthy quesadillas.

128

My roommate and I usually switch off cooking for each other so tonight is my night.

129

We just have been loving this so much we get really fixated on things and this is what we're currently cycling through.

130

But I'm pretty much just starting by putting chicken breast in a bowl and coating it with olive oil and different spices this.

131

I get kind of bored if I'm just having like chicken breast as a vegetable

132

and a grain and that might sound really sad of me

133

but making fun things like this like a healthy quesadilla

134

or something makes me want to eat healthier and what makes this recipe so good is the sauce that comes with it.

135

It's a cilantro sauce, which I know cilantro is kind of polarizing.

136

I didn't know that some people found it tasted like soap, which is sad.

137

I'm so sorry for you guys because I love cilantro.

138

It's Greek yogurt, a very large handful of cilantro, the juice of an entire lime, a cut up clove of garlic,

139

and a good heavy teaspoon of honey.

140

And that's it.

141

That's the sauce.

142

It's So delicious. So fresh.

143

Once the chicken is done, which I usually accidentally overcook, I shred it and then I add Greek yogurt and buffalo sauce.

144

I'd say I do three-fourths Greek yogurt and a fourth buffalo sauce because I am a baby.

145

Obviously just adjust it to taste.

146

And then I like to use these healthier tortillas.

147

Put the chicken in one side, some low-fat mozzarella on the other, and cook my quesadillas.

148

I can smell this and taste this right now as I'm editing this.

149

And now I want to make it again for dinner.

150

It's so good.

151

Can like one person please try this and just reaffirm with me that they are really that good.

152

Okay, guys, here's dinner.

153

Olivia has an allergy, so we have different tortillas, but otherwise it's the same exact thing.

154

I'm so excited.

155

hey guys we're about to have dinner we have no show

156

to watch anymore i was just gonna say what are we

157

gonna watch i know every night we have something got weird

158

last night guys we've been watching like really scary stuff like

159

too scary we're waiting for earl meets world earl meets world that's tomorrow isn't it we need like something good so

160

if you guys have any recs we need them desperately we

161

love like a good crime dog good crime it's like a mystery and not like a really like sad story.

162

Yeah, not like too somber.

163

Don't like put me down the dumps, you know?

164

Like so good.

165

I'm obsessed.

166

I'm like, I paid her to say that.

167

This is a paid ad because I'm like, it's so good.

168

I sprinted outside to see the sunset after dinner because it is setting in I think 30 seconds according to Apple.

169

This has like become my favorite part of the day, just walking on the West Side Highway when the sun sets.

170

Sometimes I'll just like sit on a bench right here.

171

It is like the most relaxing, peaceful thing.

172

And it's also when I like to call my mom.

173

So I'll probably do that.

174

Dinner was amazing if I do say so myself.

175

I'm also beginning to slowly mourn the fact

176

that it is gonna get cold soon and I won't be able to do this anymore.

177

So I'm getting my walks in every second that I can.

178

I'm suddenly realizing, A, I never film in my bathroom, and I now remember why this lighting sucks.

179

B, this tan is very, this is just hard to look at with the eyes, so I'm so sorry, but I'm brushing my teeth.

180

My toothbrush looks very dirty.

181

Even though it's brand new, I got it last week.

182

That's embarrassing.

183

I'm censoring that.

184

Like I said earlier today, a really sweet girl came up to me and said she watches my videos.

185

I feel like I go through seasons where I second guess my career every day for a month straight.

186

Like, am I doing the right thing?

187

Should I be pivoting?

188

Am I in the right industry?

189

Like, it doesn't even make sense because I love what I do.

190

I love making videos.

191

It's basically my dream job.

192

But then I compare to other people and I'm like, am I doing enough?

193

Are my videos good enough?

194

Are other people's videos better?

195

What does the longevity look like of this career?

196

Or sometimes I'll think about certain people in my life's perception of my YouTube videos, very specific people.

197

And I'm like, I don't even know why I do this to myself

198

because I kind of make myself go insane and I shouldn't worry about what people think of me.

199

And it definitely does get easier as you get older.

200

But my point was that the little girl was so sweet today and I really appreciated her coming up to me.

201

And then we talked for like 10 minutes about everything.

202

And I feel like she's my friend now.

203

Shout out Kendall.

204

You know what I think is necessary?

205

I think it's time for an advice sesh once I finish my skincare.

206

There is nothing I love more than getting in my bed at night.

207

It's actually kind of sad how much I love getting into bed.

208

I'm looking like a blazed donut.

209

I have my hoodie on.

210

It doesn't really get better than this, except for the fact that my cold sore scar is still here.

211

Actually, I'm going to take this moment to ask

212

if anyone has recommendations for a tinted cold sore scar remaining please help me.

213

It's been two months.

214

Anyways, here's the DM.

215

Hey, I don't know if you'll ever see this.

216

I did.

217

But I was watching your old videos, like comparing them to your new videos, and seeing that you're growing in a relationship with God, I was wondering if you could share any sort of testimony

218

or like what has changed in your faith since like a year or two ago.

219

Maybe one day I'll do share my testimony or do a testimony video.

220

I did grow up in a Christian household and I've always really valued Jesus and my relationship with him.

221

But I think being in my mid-20s alone in a big

222

city has really made me lean on God even more than I ever have in the past.

223

I find myself when I'm at my lowest trying to calm my anxiety through different outlets, trying new hobby, therapy, channeling my energy into working on my career.

224

And I do love a lot of those things actually.

225

But the one thing for me that doesn't compare to any of those stress coping mechanisms is truthfully Jesus.

226

I can't explain the calmness and the way I feel like he relieves my anxiety.

227

I feel kind of just like this weight lift off to my shoulders.

228

I don't know, it's something unlike anything else.

229

It's definitely not easy like to pray and just let everything go, but I think practicing my relationship with God,

230

really like communicating with him throughout my day-to-day life has made me feel much less alone

231

and guided me through a lot of very difficult times.

232

Even reading my bible and like looking for answers of questions that I have in the bible versus googling it.

233

You know not that I google lots of things

234

but I just have tried to make it more of a priority for my day-to-day

235

and it really is like improved my life as a whole.

236

I definitely want to talk about this more

237

because I don't know it's a big part of my life

238

and I get a lot of messages from you guys too saying

239

that you appreciate when I talk about it and that warms my heart so deeply.

240

I'm definitely not a perfect Christian.

241

I don't think anyone's a perfect Christian and I don't want it to look like I'm trying to be that way.

242

Anywho, I'm gonna go to bed.

243

I'm so excited to sleep.

244

I love you guys so much.

245

Thank you for watching and I'll see you my next video.

246

Bye!

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.
