1
Do you want to go out for dinner tonight?
2
Again?
3
That's the third time this week.
4
Don't you ever eat at home, Chris?
5
Yes, sometimes I get takeout or order pizza.
6
I mean, don't you ever cook anything?
7
No, cooking is not my thing.
8
And I don't even have time for it.
9
Eating in a restaurant saves me time.
10
Do you have any idea how unhealthy it is to eat out so often?
11
Why do you think that?
12
Well, first of all, you can never be sure how fresh the ingredients are.
13
And most restaurants don't buy the best quality produce because it costs too much.
14
But the food is always so tasty,
15
so I'm sure it's very fresh.
16
That's because they use a lot of fat in seasonings like salt,
17
pepper and spices to improve the flavor.
18
Besides, eating out all the time can get expensive.
19
Think of all the money you could save,
20
Chris, if you ate at home.
21
You're right.
22
But I can't cook too many dishes.
23
You can watch a lot of cooking videos on YouTube.
24
There are so many quick and easy recipes that you could follow with no problem.
25
But then I'd have to go to the supermarket,
26
buy the ingredients, come home,
27
cook, and then do all that washing up afterwards.
28
I can't afford to waste so much time.
29
Eating out takes a lot of time, too.
30
You need to get in the car,
31
drive to the restaurant, wait to be seated,
32
wait to order your food,
33
wait to get your food,
34
pay for your meal, and then drive home.
35
If you plan your meals in advance,
36
you only have to shop once a week,
37
and washing up doesn't take that long to do.
38
I have an idea.
39
Let's start a dinner club.
40
We can also ask three other friends to join us.
41
Each of us will cook once a week.
42
That way we can have home-cooked food six times a week,
43
and go out for dinner once a week.
44
What do you say?
45
That's a great idea, Angela.
46
Don't you think so, Chris?
47
I suppose so.
48
But you'd better bring your indigestion tablets when it's my turn to cook.
49
Hi, Linda.
50
How are you?
51
Oh, not too well, I'm afraid.
52
I have a few problems at work,
53
and I don't know how to deal with them.
54
Well, why don't we talk them over together?
55
That might help you to sort yourself out.
56
Okay, thanks.
57
Well, first of all, Kimberly was going to give a very important presentation tomorrow.
58
But she says she's ill and isn't going to be able to do it.
59
I think she's just gotten cold feet,
60
as it's for such an important client.
61
Feeling a bit ill was just the perfect excuse for her.
62
I'd do it myself, but I'm busy with meetings all day.
63
Well, that calls for quick action if the presentation is tomorrow.
64
Why don't you do it yourself if it's so important?
65
You should cancel your other meetings.
66
I guess I'll have to.
67
The next problem is that personal belongings have been going missing from people's desks during the day.
68
Oh dear!
69
You should deal with that problem as quickly as possible.
70
Try to make a list of possible suspects.
71
Well, it just dawned on me that the thefts have always happened on the top floor.
72
So it couldn't be anyone who never goes up there.
73
That actually rules out quite a lot of people.
74
Think some more about exactly when and where things were stolen.
75
And you'll probably find that the answer jumps at you.
76
Thanks, Matthew.
77
It's good to work through things with you.
78
It really helps me to sort things out.
79
Hello?
80
Hi, Luke.
81
This is Sarah.
82
Oh, hi, Sarah.
83
What's up?
84
I was wondering if you could do me a favor.
85
Yeah, sure.
86
What is it?
87
Well, I need to go to my parents' house this weekend.
88
Would it be okay if I borrowed your suitcase?
89
Of course.
90
No problem.
91
Thanks a lot.
92
Is it okay if I come by and pick it up tonight?
93
That's fine.
94
Hi, Chizika.
95
This is Sarah.
96
Oh, hello.
97
How are you?
98
I'm very good, thanks.
99
Listen, the reason I'm calling is I have a really big favor to ask you.
100
Sure, how can I help you, Sarah?
101
Remember I told you that I hadn't seen my parents in a while,
102
and it's time I paid them a visit?
103
Yeah, I remember.
104
Are you finally going to see them?
105
Yes, I am.
106
The problem is that I took my car to the mechanic to have its brake pads replaced.
107
So, I was wondering if you'd mind landing your car for the afternoon to get there.
108
Oh, I didn't expect that.
109
I'd really love to help you out,
110
but I'm gonna need my car all weekend.
111
I have a friend coming in from out of town,
112
and I promised to show her the sights.
113
So, I'm afraid I can't help you.
114
I see.
115
It's okay.
116
Don't worry.
117
Sorry to bother you, Dan.
118
What's something that makes you sad?
119
Being looked down on for taking a certain career path.
120
You can't measure someone's worth by their occupation and not their character.
121
I totally agree about not shaming people about the job they do.
122
There are people that genuinely can't afford to pay for their studies.
123
I know many people that did so well in school,
124
way better than me.
125
They ended up being cashiers or carpenters.
126
Simply because they couldn't afford to pay for their studies.
127
They get looked down on because everyone just assumed they weren't smart enough for university.
128
It's sad.
129
Exactly.
130
What makes you happy?
131
True happy moments are those spent with family and friends and all the people I love.
132
Doing the simple things in life alongside them,
133
like hugs, smiles, conversations, good food,
134
brings me so much joy.
135
What about you?
136
The thing that makes me happy is when I contribute to someone's life.
137
I get great satisfaction from it.
138
That contribution can be financial, emotional, or physical.
139
It makes me happy to connect and speak to ordinary people from different backgrounds
140
and share stories about how we live our lives.
141
Seeing other people in a positive mindset after being down or in a low place for a long time
142
also makes me so happy.
143
Please have a sit, Maggie.
144
Thank you.
145
Now, what seems to be the trouble?
146
Well, I've been very stressed and down lately.
147
The stress has taken a toll on my personal life.
148
I don't seem to have a social life anymore.
149
I just worry all the time,
150
and I can't seem to relax.
151
I see.
152
What is causing this stress?
153
It's my job, mainly.
154
I've had to do a lot of overtime recently.
155
My boss keeps giving me impossible deadlines to meet.
156
And I'm scared that he'll give me the sack if I don't get everything done on time.
157
Hmm, that's not good.
158
Have you considered changing your job?
159
Yes, I have.
160
I've been searching for another job.
161
But there's just nothing available right now,
162
and I really do need the job.
163
Well, in that case, perhaps you should talk to your boss and ask to cut down on the hours you work.
164
I'm afraid he would never agree to that.
165
If you really want to beat stress,
166
the best thing you can do is make more time for yourself.
167
You need to make sure you use that time to do something just for you,
168
to help you relax and put your problems aside.
169
I see.
170
Well, it's true, I don't have much free time at the moment.
171
When I'm not at work,
172
I have to take care of my two children.
173
Why don't you consider daycare for your children?
174
That might be the answer to your problem.
175
I suppose I could do something like that.
176
My advice to you would be to try to take things easier for a while.
177
Cut down on the overtime.
178
Put your children in daycare.
179
Oh, and try to find time to relax.
180
I'll try that and see how it goes.
181
Well, thank you for your advice.
182
No problem.
183
I hope things start to get easier for you.
184
Do you have a good memory?
185
I wish I had.
186
I'm a disaster.
187
I'm good at remembering things like appointments and meetings at work.
188
That's fine.
189
But I'm terrible with faces and names.
190
It happens all the time that I meet people and immediately forget their name.
191
Me too.
192
I'm hopeless.
193
I can never remember faces.
194
The other day I was walking along the street and this man came up and said hello.
195
And I had no idea who he was.
196
And who was he?
197
He was my boss's husband.
198
Oops.
199
Very embarrassing.
200
What about dates?
201
Do you remember people's birthdays, that kind of thing?
202
Well, I'm okay with birthdays because I write them all down in my diary.
203
I wish I didn't have to, but, you know.
204
And phone numbers?
205
I can't even remember my own phone number half the time.
206
Personally, I wish I could remember things like writers' names or the name of songs.
207
It happened quite recently that we were talking about books
208
and I'd read an excellent novel and I wished I'd remembered the name because I wanted to recommend the book.
209
But I just couldn't remember it.
210
What book's that then?
211
Um, I can't remember the title.
212
Have you seen Laura lately?
213
Yeah, I see her pretty often.
214
We work together.
215
How's she doing?
216
I've been meaning to call her.
217
Well, to be honest, I've always thought she was a little difficult.
218
But these days I find her impossible.
219
What do you mean?
220
Oh, you know how she is.
221
She has such strong ideas about everything,
222
and if you don't agree with her,
223
she lets you know what she thinks of you.
224
Yes, that's true.
225
She is very blunt.
226
Very straightforward.
227
She never tries to hide her feelings.
228
That's why we love her, right?
229
Well, it's good to be straightforward as long as you don't hurt people, don't you think?
230
She's changed a lot since she started college.
231
She talks about herself all the time and she always manages to mention how good she is at everything she does.
232
Hmm, maybe I won't call her after all.
233
So how was your date with Paul?
234
Well, I was worried at first,
235
especially when I saw that he rode a huge motorcycle.
236
I thought that he might turn out to be a weird guy with whom I'd had nothing in common.
237
And he's just a regular kind of guy?
238
Yes, he is.
239
We got along really well.
240
I'm glad you liked him.
241
What does he look like?
242
He's pretty tall, with dark hair and brown eyes.
243
What was he wearing?
244
He was wearing a black leather jacket and jeans.
245
How old is he?
246
He's 22.
247
And he's really funny.
248
He had me laughing hysterically at the coffee shop.
249
So are you two going to get together again?
250
Definitely.
251
In fact, we're going to the party together.
252
That's great!
253
Excuse me?
254
Yes?
255
How can I help you?
256
You see this shirt?
257
I bought it here a few days ago.
258
But the first time I washed it, the color changed.
259
It went from bright red to light pink.
260
How did you wash it?
261
Well, I just tossed it into the washing machine with my other clothes.
262
What temperature did you use?
263
I usually wash my clothes in hot water, so I guess hot.
264
Well, did you check the washing instructions?
265
Um, maybe not.
266
Well, you see here on this label,
267
it says wash in cold water only.
268
Uh-huh.
269
So I'm really sorry, but since you didn't follow the washing instructions,
270
I can't really do anything for you.

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.
