Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: English Shadowing Challenge | Practice Speaking Real-Life Conversations
Đang tạo bài học...
1
You're having a conversation in English and you hit a word you can't remember.
2
You stop, there's an awkward silence, you change the subject because you can't finish the sentence the way you want it to.
3
That's you.
4
The 7-day shadowing challenge is for you.
5
Every day this week, one new conversation.
6
Shadowing is when you speak the words at the same time as the characters speaking, matching their rhythm and their pace.
7
You speak with them, not after them.
8
Even 5 minutes a day starts to rewrite how your mouth handles English.
9
Today is day three and today we're going shopping for clothes.
10
You are the customer and you need help finding something, but it turns out to be a little more complicated than just picking a size off the shelf.
11
Here are the words and phrases you need to know first.
12
Aisle.
13
An aisle is one of the long walkways between the shelves or racks in a store.
14
So the third aisle means the third walkway.
15
Next to be in stock.
16
If something is in stock, the store has it available right now.
17
If it is out of stock, they have sold out and you cannot buy it today.
18
Then, to check in the back, most stores have a storage room behind the main shop floor.
19
When a staff member says they will check in the back, they are going to look in that storage area for what you need.
20
Next, to place an order.
21
When a store places an order for you, they contact their supplier to get the item sent in.
22
It will arrive later and you are essentially reserving it.
23
Next, to exchange.
24
An exchange is when you swap one item for a different one.
25
Usually a different size or color.
26
You do not get cash back.
27
You get a different item instead.
28
Next, store credit.
29
Store credit is what a shop gives you instead of a cash refund.
30
You can only spend it in that store but you do not lose the value of what you paid.
31
Then receipt.
32
A receipt is your printed or digital proof of purchase.
33
Stores almost always ask to see it if you want to return or exchange something.
34
Next, to run small, when clothing runs small, the sizing comes up smaller than you would normally expect.
35
So a medium in that brand might fit more like a small.
36
Then final sale.
37
Final sale means the item cannot be returned or exchanged under any circumstances.
38
Once you buy it, the transaction is done.
39
And finally, on the floor, and when a staff member says something is on the floor, they mean it is out in the main shopping area where customers can see and pick it up.
40
By the way, before we get into the dialogue, I want to talk to those of you who feel like
41
your English has been stuck at the same level for way too long.
42
There is a course that we created for you that's called From Elementary to Intermediate, and it's a seven-week course.
43
We're built specifically for the stage where you know the basics, but you keep making the same mistakes.
44
You understand a lot, but speaking still feels like work.
45
Grammar still confuses you.
46
You keep reaching for the same simple phrases.
47
The course is 30 lessons, a new one every other day, so it never feels overwhelming.
48
You get articles, tenses, conditionals, passive voice, everyday vocabulary, phrasal verbs, pronunciation, all in one place,
49
plus homework that actually helps you practice, not just memorize, and a challenge mode where you get paired with a steady buddy, complete tasks together, and earn points.
50
You also learn with Vinja Pak, who is one of the best teachers I know.
51
He has his own proven system, and we are in this course together.
52
More than 10,000 students have already finished it.
53
Use promo code LINGUA MARINA for $20 off.
54
The link is in the description.
55
Okay, now let's get into today's conversation.
56
Excuse me, hi.
57
I am looking for a specific jacket I saw on your website.
58
The navy quilted one.
59
Do you carry it in store?
60
Yes, I know exactly the one you mean.
61
We do carry it.
62
What size are you looking for?
63
Ideally a medium, but I would try a large as well if that is what you have.
64
Okay, let me take a look.
65
I am pretty sure I saw some on the floor this morning, but we have had a busy day.
66
Give me just a second.
67
Of course, take your time.
68
So right now, I have got a small and an extra large on the floor.
69
The medium and large are both showing as out of stock in the system.
70
But honestly, that does not always mean we have nothing.
71
Let me go and check in the back for you.
72
Oh, that would be wonderful.
73
Thank you.
74
No problem at all.
75
I will be back in two minutes.
76
Okay, so good news and sort of good news.
77
I found a medium in the back, but it is in the olive, not the navy.
78
And I do have the large in navy.
79
Hmm.
80
Honestly, can I try both?
81
I want to see how the large and navy fits before I decide.
82
Absolutely.
83
The fitting rooms are around the corner to your left, just past the accessories section.
84
Hi, I am back.
85
So the large and navy actually fits pretty well.
86
Better than I expected.
87
Yes, they do tend to run small.
88
Most customers go up at least one size with them.
89
So what you are experiencing is pretty typical.
90
Good to know.
91
Does this brand run small in general?
92
Because the large is fitting me like a medium normally would.
93
You are not between sizes or anything.
94
The large is genuinely your size in this brand.
95
That is reassuring.
96
Thank you.
97
What about the olive medium?
98
Did that one fit differently?
99
Because olive is the same cut and same fabric, it should fit the same way.
100
If the large navy works, the medium olive probably would not.
101
It would likely feel a bit tight.
102
Right, okay.
103
I think I will stick with the large and navy then.
104
Is this one part of the current sale?
105
I saw something on your homepage about a promotion.
106
Yes, it is 20% off right now.
107
The one thing to mention is that sale items are final sale, meaning no returns.
108
Exchanges are still fine within the 28 days.
109
That is totally fair.
110
Okay, I am going to take it.
111
Great choice.
112
It is honestly one of our most popular pieces this season.
113
Do you want to pay here or at the main till?
114
I will go to the main till.
115
Thank you so much for your help.
116
You really went above and beyond.
117
It is my pleasure.
118
That is what I am here for.
119
Enjoy the jacket.
120
Thank you.
121

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.
