So make sure you listen carefully.
39
Are you ready, Sarah?
40
I'm ready.
41
Let's get started.
42
Okay, Sarah.
43
I want to hear your story first.
44
Tell me about a memorable trip you took.
45
Where did you go?
46
Well, my most memorable trip happened two years ago.
47
I traveled to Kyoto in Japan.
48
Have you ever been to Japan, Mark?
49
No. I have never been to Japan, but I am going to visit Tokyo next year.
50
I am planning a trip right now.
51
Please tell me more about Kyoto.
52
Who did you go with?
53
I went with my best friend, Emily.
54
We planned the trip for six months.
55
We were very excited.
56
On the first day, we set off very early in the morning.
57
We took a taxi to the airport at 5 a.m.
58
Wow.
59
5 a.m is very early.
60
Did you sleep on the airplane?
61
Yes, I slept for the whole flight.
62
When we arrived in Japan, we took a fast train to Kyoto.
63
The first thing we did was find our hotel.
64
We checked in at the front desk, left our heavy bags in our room, and then we went outside immediately.
65
We wanted to look around the city. That sounds wonderful.
66
What did the city look like?
67
It was beautiful, Mark.
68
The streets were clean, and there were so many old traditional buildings, But I have a funny story.
69
On our second day, Emily and I got lost.
70
Oh, no. You got lost?
71
What happened?
72
Did you have a map?
73
We had a map on our phone, but my phone battery died.
74
It went to zero percent.
75
We were walking in a beautiful bamboo forest, and suddenly we did not know where we were.
76
We did not know how to go back to the hotel. Were you scared?
77
A little bit at first, but the local people were very friendly.
78
I asked a kind woman for help.
79
I use very simple English and some hand gestures.
80
She smiled and showed us the way to the bus station.
81
It was a great experience because we met nice people.
82
That is a great story.
83
Getting lost can be scary, but it is also an adventure.
84
What about the food?
85
What did you eat?
86
Oh, the food was amazing.
87
We decided to try out a lot of street food.
88
We ate sushi, hot noodles, and sweet rice cakes.
89
Everything was delicious.
90
At the end of the week, it was time to pack up and go home.
91
I was very sad to leave.
92
It was truly a breathtaking trip.
93
Breathtaking.
94
What a great word.
95
Thank you for sharing your story, Sarah.
96
It sounds like the perfect vacation.
97
You're welcome.
98
Now it is your turn, Mark.
99
Tell our listeners and me about your memorable trip.
100
Where did you travel to?
101
My memorable trip was very different from yours.
102
I did not go to a big city.
103
Last summer, I traveled to the Scottish Highlands.
104
It is a very wild and beautiful place in Scotland.
105
Oh, I love nature.
106
Did you go with your family?
107
No, I traveled alone.
108
Sometimes I like to travel by myself because it is very quiet and peaceful.
109
I set off from London by train.
110
The train ride was very long.
111
It took about eight hours.
112
Eight hours on a train?
113
What did you do for eight hours?
114
I read a book.
115
I looked out the window, and I drank a lot of tea.
116
When I finally arrived, I checked in to a very small old hotel near a big lake.
117
A lake in Scotland?
118
Is that where the famous monster lives?
119
The Loch Ness Monster?
120
Yes, exactly.
121
I stayed near Loch Ness.
122
I looked around the lake, but sadly, I did not see the monster.
123
Maybe next time?
124
What was the weather like?
125
I hear Scotland is very cold.
126
Yes, it is.
127
Even in the summer, it was quite cold and windy, but I brought warm clothes.
128
Every morning I woke up early and went hiking in the mountains.
129
The views were breathtaking.
130
You could see green hills and blue water for miles and miles.
131
Did you get lost like I did?
132
Actually, yes.
133
One afternoon, I walked too far into the forest.
134
I could not find the path.
135
But I had a real map, a paper map.
136
So I sat on a rock, looked at my map, and found my way back.
137
That is smart paper maps.
138
Do not need batteries.
139
Did you try out any interesting Scottish food?
140
I did.
141
I tried a famous Scottish dish called haggis.
142
It is made of meat, oats, and spices.
143
It sounds strange, but I really liked it.
144
After five days in the mountains, I had to pack up my bags and take the train back to London.
145
I felt very relaxed and happy.
146
Wow, that sounds so peaceful, Mark.
147
I think I'm going to visit Scotland next year.
148
You should.
149
It is a wonderful place.
150
All right, listeners, did you enjoy those stories?
151
Mark and I used some very important words and phrases.
152
Now it is time for our favorite part of the show, the word tour.
153
In the word tour, we take five to seven important words or phrases from our stories.
154
We will explain them slowly, spell them for you, and give you more examples.
155
This will help you remember them and use them in your own conversations.
156
We have seven wonderful words and phrasal verbs today.
157
Let's start with number one.
158
Word number one is set off.
159
Let me say that again slowly.
160
Set off.
161
Can you spell that for us, Sarah? Of course.
162
Set is S-E-T.
163
Off is O-F-F.
164
Set off.
165
This is a phrasal verb.
166
To set off means to begin a journey or to start a trip.
167
When you leave your house to go on a vacation, you set off.
168
Exactly.
169
In my story, I said we set off very early in the morning.
170
This means we left our house and started our trip to Japan early in the morning.
171
Let me give you another example.
172
Tomorrow, we are going to set off for the beach at 8 a.m.
173
Listeners, now it is your turn.
174
Please repeat after me.
175
Set off.
176
Very good.
177
Great job now.
178
Let's move to word number two.
179
The second word is check in.
180
I will repeat it check in.
181
Check is C-H-E-C-K, in is I-N, check in.
182
To check in means to arrive at a hotel or an airport
183
and show your ticket or your name to the person at the desk.
184
You are telling them, I'm here.
185
Yes.
186
In Mark's story, he said, I checked into a very small, old hotel.
187
This means he arrived at the hotel, gave them his name, and got the key to his room.
188
Another example, when you arrive at the airport, you must check in your bags.
189
Now repeat after me.
190
Please check in.
191
Excellent.
192
Word number three is look around.
193
Look around.
194
Look is L-O-O-K.
195
Around is A-R-O-U-N-D.
196
Look around.
197
To look around means to walk through a place, like a city, a museum, or a shop, to see what is there.
198
You are exploring.
199
You are looking at things because you are interested.
200
In my story about Japan, I said we went outside immediately.
201
We wanted to look around the city.
202
We wanted to walk and see the streets and buildings.
203
Here is one more example.
204
When I go to a new shopping mall, I like to look around before I buy anything.
205
Your turn.
206
Listeners, repeat after me.
207
Look around.
208
Perfect.
209
You're doing great.
210
Moving on to word number four.
211
This is an important one.
212
Get lost.
213
Get lost.
214
Get is G-E-T lost is L-O-S-T.
215
Get lost.
216
To get lost means you do not know where you are.
217
You do not know how to find your way home or to your hotel.
218
This happened to me in Japan.
219
I said, Emily and I got lost in the bamboo forest.
220
Got is the past tense of get.
221
We did not know where we were.
222
Another example.
223
If you do not have a map in a big city, you might get lost.
224
Okay, listeners, repeat after me, get lost.
225
Great job.
226
Just remember to always carry a map so you do not get lost.
227
Good advice, Sarah.
228
Let's look at word number five.
229
This is my favorite thing to do on a trip.
230
Try out.
231
Try out.
232
Try is T-R-Y out is O-U-T, try out.
233
To try out means to test something to see if you like it.
234
Often we use this for food, activities, or new things.
235
Yes, in my story I said we decided to try out a lot of street food.
236
This means we ate many new foods to see if they tasted good.
237
In my story I said I tried out a famous Scottish dish called haggis.
238
I tasted it for the first time.
239
Let me give a different example.
240
I want to try out that new bicycle before I buy it.
241
Now it is your time to practice.
242
Repeat after Sarah.
243
Try out.
244
Wonderful.
245
We have two more words left.
246
Word number six is a beautiful adjective.
247
The word is breathtaking.
248
Breathtaking.
249
This is a long word, so listen carefully.
250
Let me spell it.
251
B-R-E-A-T-H-T-A-K-I-N-G.
252
Breathtaking.
253
This word is made of two parts.
254
Breath and taking.
255
If something is breathtaking, it is so beautiful or amazing that it takes your breath away.
256
You look at it and you go, wow.
257
Yes.
258
Breathtaking means extremely beautiful.
259
In Mark's story, he said the views in the mountains were breathtaking.
260
And Sarah said, Kyoto was a breathtaking trip.
261
It was an amazing, beautiful trip.
262
Let's practice saying this long word.
263
Repeat after me.
264
Nice and slow.
265
Breathtaking.
266
Very good.
267
One more time.

269
Breathtaking.
270

271
Finally, word number seven.
272
Pack up.
273
Pack up.
274
Pack is P-A-C-K.
275

276

277
To pack up means to put all your things into your bags or suitcases because you were leaving a place.
278

279
Yes.
280
I said at the end of the week, it was time to pack up and go home.
281
I had to put all my clothes and souvenirs into my suitcase.
282
Another example.

284

285
Let's pack up our food and go inside.
286
Listeners, repeat one last time, pack up, fantastic.
287
You all did a fantastic job with the word tour today.
288
Learning new words is great, but to really remember them, you must use them.
289
Exactly, Mark, we learn by doing.
290
So it is time for our mini exercise for today.
291
We want to hear from you, our amazing listeners.
292
Today's exercise is very simple, but very helpful.
293
I want you to think about a trip you took in the past.
294
It can be a trip to a different country or just a trip to a different city near your home.
295
Now choose two words or phrases from our word tour today.
296
Let me remind you of the list.
297
Set off, check in, look around, get lost, try out, breathtaking, and pack up.
298

299

300

303
Let me give another one.
304

306
I also tried out French bread, and it was delicious.

- Âm “sh” và “zh”: vacation /veɪˈkeɪ.ʃən/, delicious /dɪˈlɪ.ʃəs/, dish /dɪʃ/, explanation /ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən/, shine /ʃaɪn/
- Từ dài — đặt trọng âm cho đúng: explanation /ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən/, importantly /ɪmˈpɔɹ.tənt.li/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, repetition /ˌɹɛp.əˈtɪʃ.ən/
Những âm người Việt thường gặp khó:
- Cụm phụ âm cuối — đọc đủ từng âm, đừng nuốt âm cuối: podcast /ˈpɑdˌkæst/, tense /tɛns/, relax /ɹɪˈlæks/, desk /dɛsk/, remind /ɹəˈmaɪnd/
- Âm /tʃ/, /dʒ/ và /ʒ/ — tiếng Việt không có, đừng đọc thành “ch” hay “gi”: adventure /ədˈvɛn.t͡ʃə/, gesture /ˈd͡ʒɛs.t͡ʃɚ/, adjective /ˈæd͡ʒ.ɪk.tɪv/
- Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: podcast /ˈpɑdˌkæst/, relax /ɹɪˈlæks/, bamboo /bæmˈbu/, taxi /ˈtæksi/, sadly /ˈsædli/

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.
