Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: a solo date to keep me sane

plants Hello,

I'm on the train.

It's really loud, it's making these really scary noises, but I hope you can hear me okay, I'm using my tiny little microphone.

I don't know if I'm too close to it, I hope I'm not.

I've never used it before so I hope it works.

Today I am taking myself on a little adventure.

I'm going to a city I used to live in.

When I first started making YouTube videos I was doing my bachelor's degree

and I lived in Liverpool so that's where I'm going.

I feel really awkward, I've never like spoken on video on the train before.

I'm currently on the Mersey Rail waiting for it to leave.

It's kind of like the subway that goes to and from Liverpool.

It used to be kind of gross, but now it's had an upgrade.

It's clean, it's not smelly, so...

I like it.

Me too. so I'm

going to

go to the next one.

Now it's

pretty windy so i hope you can hear me i've put my tiny mic on my shirt

and it's got a little wind muffler

so i hope it actually works i went to pop mart i really like collecting nayota

and they just released a new collection with a show and i'm not actually familiar with the show It's called Chibi Maruko-chan,

but I wanted to get it because I love Nyota and they do look really cute.

So they've got a few.

I really like...

Wow, it's so windy!

Help!

I think I like all of them.

If I had to pick a favourite, maybe like My Name Is Mariko,

Rest Day, Daydreaming and the last three, Grotola, that's my sister and Marathon Sadawes.

So let's see.

I don't know which one it is.

Oh, that's so cute.

It's New and her little kitten eating sweet potato.

It's called the best grandpa.

It's so cute.

This is the card for it.

And it comes with a little stand.

Wow, I love it.

I'm so happy.

Even though I didn't think I wanted this one.

It's so cute.

And I love that they're eating.

I love that the cat is wearing a little wig and a little skirt.

I love the flower headband.

Wow.

It's really cute.

I'm so glad.

In she goes, safe and sound, for our voyage home.

I'm really glad with my newtah.

I've had such a nice day.

I got loads of stuff.

I got like a massage bar for my sister who is pregnant.

I got some bath bombs for myself I find after work it's a really really nice way to relax

and like soothe my muscles

So I've been having a lot of them There's a man

in the park walking his cat on a liege It's

so cute and actually it looks just like Neota's cat

So maybe it's a sign I also went to Anthropologie and I literally bought this shirt that I'm wearing right now

but I had to put it on

because it was too hot to wear the jacket

and I didn't want my arms out because I'm not wearing any sun cream

and it's so warm so I just didn't I just got changed

so yeah I also went to a shop called Oliver Bonas

and I got my mum a blouse as a birthday gift it's her birthday in like two days

so I'm really glad I was able to find something that I think she'll really like.

I also got her a Glossier serum.

I got her the vitamin C one so I hope she likes it

but yeah now I'm gonna go and get some sushi from my favourite favourite sushi spot ever.

It's called aka Sushi.

I think they also have a location in Manchester but I prefer the Liverpool one.

I also would like to go to Forbidden Planet just to get some comics.

And then I think that's like everything I want to do today.

It's about 1.30, nearly 2pm.

So it's not a bad time to start heading home.

Takes a few hours on the train.

So I don't want to be getting home too late because I've got work tomorrow.

But yeah, I'm having a really nice day and I'm really glad I'm here.

I'm going to go to the restaurant.

I'm not

sure what I'm doing.

This is so random.

I have a sandwich.

Corn.

I love corn.

I feel like there's just something so American about eating a sandwich.

I sound insane, but you know what I mean?

and I didn't cut it either.

I feel like this sandwich is way more enjoyable when it's big and like hard to eat.

This is my desk area.

Last week I repart my massive plant and now I can sit at my desk.

It was so ginormously huge that it would fall over because the pot wasn't heavy enough.

It was so top heavy it would just go flying so the only solution,

well, I tried my very best to find it a pot right and I just couldn't find the right one,

they were all too small and like then the issue was okay it's so big it needs an outdoor pot, however they all have holes in them for drainage

and then I couldn't find an outdoor pot with a nice saucer and so my plants

stood here in this corner for like two months I think

and so only now have I been able to reclaim my desk space from the plant

100

but I'm trying to like get back into sitting here.

101

I will do a haul of what I got in a minute.

102

Good evening friends, I was just about to go for a bath that I thought better do a little Lush hole first.

103

I don't know if I've ever revealed this but I am obsessed with Lush.

104

Like to my core I love them and everything they do.

105

For my birthday my brother got me a gift card for Lush

106

and so of course I had to go and spend it.

107

That was honestly one of the main motivations for me to go on my little day out

108

and I had such a nice day

109

so I'm really really glad I Currently in my routine I use the Sticky Dates shower gel,

110

body lotion, dusting powder, hair serum and body spray.

111

You could say I'm a bit of a Sticky Dates fan.

112

I also use the Super Milk Protein Shampoo and the American Cream Conditioner.

113

So now that that is settled, that is my routine every day.

114

I got posh chocolate.

115

Oh my god I wish you could smell this.

116

It's a body wash.

117

It's pretty solid, it's kind of like the protein shampoo.

118

I mean it's brown because it's chocolate, undeniably chocolate.

119

It's as if I'm stood right next to a chocolate fountain or a big mug of hot chocolate itself.

120

I think like four years ago, maybe more, I went to a Lush store

121

and I've never really bought anything before and one of the employees recommended that I mix posh chocolate and sticky dates together.

122

Thank you to that lovely lady.

123

So yeah that's why I bought this, just so I can kind of go back and forth between the two.

124

I just really really enjoy my self-care time in the evening

125

like I think it's so important to wind down after work

126

and I will have a bath at every single opportunity like I think it's

127

so helpful I'll light a little candle my phone stays the hell out of the room and I just chill out.

128

Oh it's amazing.

129

I do like bath bombs a lot however I don't like

130

that you basically only get to use them once and

131

so normally I chop them in half

132

but some of them can be pretty tough to chop

133

so I am more accustomed to using the bubble baths

134

which you basically cut a little bit off

135

and it makes loads of bubbles but I really do love the way the bath bombs make the water feel.

136

This is not an ad.

137

I wish it was.

138

It's not.

139

Because of the loyalty program, I have a free baffon.

140

This one is Butterball.

141

But it smells so good.

142

Maybe I'll use this one tonight.

143

I also got Twilight, which if you know the sleepy scent, it's that one.

144

Oh, I might even prefer the smell to sticky dates, honestly, it's so nice.

145

I wish there was more sleepy scented products.

146

I wish.

147

And then I have, this is Super Milk.

148

I honestly think it smells pretty different to the shampoo and the leave-in conditioner but I do get the similarities.

149

Adding to my Sticky Dates collection, I got the Sticky Dates Lush Melt.

150

It's like a chocolate bar of Sticky Dates and you break off a chunk and it melts in the bath.

151

It's like a bath oil.

152

I wish you could smell it.

153

I wish.

154

Just imagine like super super sweet like caramelly date.

155

And finally I got a massage bath.

156

Like I said I do use a sticky dates lotion

157

but the winter months are coming and I feel like it's important to have something a little bit more substantial for moisturising.

158

This is the coconut one and my boyfriend would hate to hear me say this

159

because it happens a lot but I wish I could chew this.

160

The texture of it it's like it's asking me to chew it.

161

Do you get that?

162

Like I just want to go like

163

and it doesn't help that it smells so good

164

but yeah it's pretty warm today so it's not that hard but you just kind of rub it in, warm it in your hands.

165

Oh, it smells good.

166

That's everything I got for me.

167

I did get my sister the bump bar which is the same as what I just showed you but for your

168

pregnant belly but I already gave it to her and she was very excited and thankful.

169

So yeah, there's my haul.

170

Other than that, I literally just bought this top which I love.

171

It's from Damsin Madder.

172

I bought it in Anthropologie.

173

I love the cuffs, I love the colours, I love the little buttons on the neck.

174

It's a perfect length and I just really like being cosy

175

so I can kind of imagine myself living in this throughout the winter.

176

And I don't really buy clothes very often

177

but I had a voucher for Anthropologie as well so I was kind of you know in a shopping mood, I knew I needed to spend it some time

178

so I saw this and I thought why not

179

and then I got my nyota which I already showed

180

so yeah that's literally everything I bought I had such a nice day

181

and I'm just so thankful I did

182

that I just feel like it was really important for me

183

to spend a little bit of time alone I've been working quite a lot recently

184

and been just quite busy as well outside of work and

185

so I felt kind of like I've not had a moment to catch up

186

and just like be with myself and be slow

187

and take my time and relax and so it was really nice today to kind of just go somewhere new, be in a different environment with just me,

188

no one else to rely on to like keep me distracted

189

and of course like shopping helps a lot but I think even

190

if I would have not spent a single penny I would have had a really nice day.

191

Yeah so I'm just feeling really happy and thankful to have gone.

192

Thank you for watching my silly little video.

193

I just wanted to show don't be afraid to go on a solo day out if you need it.

194

You don't need to justify it to anyone, just go, just do it.

195

I'm gonna go have my bath now and then I'm gonna edit this video in bed with the projector on.

196

Wow, cozy day, cozy day!

197

And I've only got to work four days this week

198

so it's gonna be such a good week and I feel like I've really set myself up for success.

199

So yeah, see you next time!

200

I can't do it I can't do it I can't do it I can't do it I see this Why

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.
