Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: I Stole Someone Boyfriend

All my life, people have told me I must be magic.

Hi, everyone.

I'm Tanya from San Francisco.

Please like and subscribe to hear my secret.

I have a unique skill that makes me popular with almost everyone I meet.

When people come to me for advice, I'm able to help them achieve their goals.

Making the varsity soccer team, asking out their crush, acing a big test.

Somehow, I was always able to get them what they wanted.

In truth, there was no magic to it.

I was a good listener and tried to give the best advice I could.

It always just seemed to work out.

Eventually, it gave me this reputation for being a miracle worker.

My friend Elaine thought I should be paid for it.

You really should be charging for this.

I like helping people.

Hey, nothing wrong with getting paid for doing what you like.

By the way, my boyfriend loved the birthday gift you suggested.

And we're going to the restaurant you recommended later.

Try the chocolate cake.

Ironically, my own life was kind of a mess.

My grades were good, but not great since I was so caught up with everyone else's problems.

I didn't have a boyfriend, and in general, my future seemed both uncertain and scary.

Not to mention, I had the most embarrassing dad in the world!

A few years back, my dad fell in a manhole on the sidewalk and sued the city.

He won so much money in the lawsuit that he quit his job in big tech.

Now all he does is sit on the couch and watch YouTube videos.

You gotta see this video, honey.

A baby panda sneezes and scares its mom.

I have school, Dad.

You have fun, though.

So that was my home life.

As helpful as I was to most people, I just couldn't seem to work the same magic for me or my dad.

I don't think he even wanted me to, to be honest.

He ignored every job posting I showed him and never left the house no matter how hard I tried.

It scared me to think that I might turn out like him someday.

But I always felt better when I helped someone.

At school, this really agitated girl stomped up to me in the hall.

I talked to my mom about spending the summer in France, and she said no. I knew I should have asked my dad instead.

Everyone says your advice is foolproof.

Did you give me bad advice on purpose?

What?

No, of course not.

I would never do something like that.

Maybe you misunderstood what I told you?

I did exactly what you said word for word and it blew up in my face.

You're a fraud.

I was stunned.

This had never happened before.

I tried to remember what my advice had been, but so many people came to me for help that the details were hazy.

Shake it off, Tanya.

It was upsetting, but just that morning, three people had approached me and said I was a lifesaver.

This had to be a weird freak accident.

It wouldn't happen again, right?

But then later that night, Elaine called me crying.

She and her boyfriend Joe had gone to the restaurant I recommended.

But the server insulted Joe and they got into a fight.

Joe almost got arrested.

Why would you tell us to go to that place?

The server was a criminal.

Maybe he was new.

The service was great last time I went.

You ruined Joe's birthday!

I don't have a crystal ball, you know.

I'm a human being.

I make mistakes like anyone else.

Maybe your boyfriend shouldn't have punched out the waiter.

Ugh, whatever, Tanya.

Keep your advice to yourself from now on.

Did you at least try the chocolate cake?

I did.

It was dry.

What was going on?

Had I lost my touch?

If I couldn't help people anymore, then what was I gonna do?

I guess I could try fixing my own life.

That night, I dreamed that everyone who ever came to me for advice confronted me and accused me of ruining their lives.

No matter where I turned, I couldn't escape.

When I woke up, I knew something needed to change.

If people only cared about me when I was solving their problems, maybe they didn't really care about me at all.

You know what?

Fine.

You can all solve your own problems from now on.

At school, I turned away anyone who asked for something.

I didn't like saying no, but it got easier after a few times.

During gym class, we were playing dodgeball when a boy approached me.

Hey, you're Tanya, right?

I'm Matt.

I heard you're a miracle worker.

I'm retired.

Could you make an exception?

I'm trying to get my ex to take me back, and you're the only one who can help.

Trust me, you don't want my help.

What if we help each other?

Like a trade.

There's gotta be something you want, too.

That was different.

Not many people ever offered anything in return.

Not that I expected them to pay me back, but it was nice to be asked.

Okay, here's a challenge for you.

100

I want to figure out what my thing is.

101

I spend so much time giving everyone else advice that I've never had a chance to figure out my own goals.

102

If you can help me do that, then I'll help you get your ex back.

103

Sounds like a deal to me.

104

Matt and I met after school to get started.

105

So what do you think I should try first?

106

Send her a dozen roses?

107

Write her a song and play it outside her bedroom window?

108

Do you want her to take you back or file a restraining order?

109

Then what's your great idea?

110

Why did you two break up anyway?

111

She said I don't pay attention.

112

Hmm.

113

I have some thoughts.

114

But before I tell you, we're focusing on my thing first.

115

Did you come up with any ideas?

116

All I did was smile.

117

Uh-oh, what was I getting myself into?

118

Turns out, Matt had a whole day planned out for us.

119

We explored cool architecture in the city like the Golden Gate Bridge, baked sourdough bread, volunteered at a local animal shelter, and even visited Alcatraz to see what a real prison was like.

120

Matt was patient and a great guide throughout all our adventures.

121

At the end of the day, we stopped at Pier 39 to grab some ice cream.

122

I always loved seeing the sea lions flop around and bark at each other out on the bay.

123

So, what do you think?

124

Architect, baker, veterinarian, prison guard?

125

To be honest, I really don't see any of those things being my career.

126

I had a lot of fun though.

127

Good, I've got more planned for tomorrow.

128

What about your ex?

129

She can wait.

130

Hold on a second.

131

Was someone prioritizing my problems over their own?

132

I could get used to this.

133

The next day, we did it all over again.

134

Except this time with brand new activities.

135

We tried photography, fitness classes, and went on a ride along in a police car.

136

Nothing yet?

137

No. I mean, I'm still having a good time, but I can't picture myself doing any of those things for the rest of my life.

138

Maybe I'm being too picky.

139

Hey, you gotta choose what's right for you.

140

This is everything I had planned, but I can definitely come up with more.

141

You've done a lot already.

142

Let's work on your goal for now.

143

I want you to write a letter to your ex tonight, and tomorrow we'll go over it together.

144

You're giving me homework?

145

He'll survive.

146

The next day, Matt shared his letter with me, and I read it during lunch period.

147

Well, what do you think?

148

This is all about your feelings, your memories, your regrets.

149

There's almost nothing about her.

150

This could be about any girl.

151

I worked really hard on that.

152

You said yourself that she thinks you don't pay attention.

153

This letter doesn't really prove otherwise.

154

What do you like about her?

155

Is she smart, empathetic?

156

Does she tell funny stories?

157

Matt had to think about it.

158

I didn't understand why he found it so difficult.

159

She's a good big sister, and I like how she sings along to every song on the radio, even when she doesn't know the words.

160

That's more like it.

161

Matt revised the letter.

162

I hid around the corner and watched while he approached his ex to give it to her.

163

She looked surprised, but seemed to appreciate the gesture.

164

Finally, progress.

165

More people came up to me that day to ask for help, but I kept turning them down.

166

I even had to say no to a teacher.

167

A football player got really mad when I refused to help him.

168

We all know you're not really retired.

169

I saw you help that Matt kid.

170

Guess you only help guys you like.

171

Excuse me?

172

Who did this jerk think he was?

173

It's not like that.

174

Matt and I are helping each other.

175

So if I take you on a date, you'll help me too?

176

Suddenly, Matt appeared and shoved the football player into a locker.

177

Speaking of your little boyfriend, I'm not her boyfriend.

178

Apologize to her.

179

Just then, I noticed Matt's ex.

180

She looked at me like I'd stolen her boyfriend or something.

181

I didn't stick around to see what happened next.

182

I needed to get away.

183

I'd never been so embarrassed in my life.

184

Everything was such a mess.

185

My recent advice had all backfired.

186

Matt wasn't any closer to getting his ex back.

187

I was fighting with my best friend, and I still had no clue what I wanted to do with my life.

188

When I got home, my dad was snoring on the couch.

189

For all I knew, he hadn't left that spot all day.

190

Ugh.

191

Before, I could at least feel proud about how many people I'd helped.

192

Now, I didn't even have that.

193

The next day at school, I decided to tell Matt our deal was off.

194

What?

195

But what about our plan?

196

You're gonna let some jerk football player push you around?

197

That's easy for you to say.

198

You're not the one who's being treated like an outcast just for saying no to people.

199

And our plan isn't working anyway.

200

I haven't figured out my future and you haven't gotten your girlfriend back.

201

I don't care about getting her back.

202

For a second, I almost thought I heard him wrong.

203

Then what's the point of everything we've been doing?

204

I cared at first.

205

I really did miss her.

206

But I realized we broke up for a reason.

207

If you want the truth, I'm having fun and I want to keep spending time with you.

208

I felt so confused.

209

This was too much all at once.

210

Then maybe just ask to hang out like a normal person.

211

I thought you were helping me figure out my future.

212

Tanya, why are you so obsessed with your future?

213

We're in high school.

214

You don't have to figure it all out right now.

215

My dad threw away a great career and now he's a slug.

216

People need a purpose.

217

All I could think about the rest of the day was escaping.

218

We had a big assembly that afternoon and I was considering skipping it and locking myself in my room.

219

But why should I have to leave?

220

They're the one acting like jerks.

221

So in the middle of the assembly, I did something kind of crazy.

222

I stole the mic.

223

Almost every single one of you has come to me for advice.

224

Did I ever say no before?

225

Did I ever ask for anything in return?

226

No. I did my best to help you all because I wanted you to be happy.

227

But the second something goes wrong or I decide to take some time for myself, What do you all do?

228

You turn on me!

229

Talk behind my back!

230

Blame me for your problems!

231

Now I know I was just being used.

232

I handed the mic back to the teacher, and she awkwardly cued the cheerleaders to begin their performance.

233

After school, the doorbell rang a bunch of times.

234

I snapped at my dad while I stomped to the door.

235

Don't get up.

236

I'll get it.

237

Honey, you have to see this.

238

A baby tiger pounces and scares the heck out of his mom.

239

Dad, those videos are super old.

240

I opened the door and was surprised to find Elaine on the front steps.

241

She was holding a chocolate cake as a peace offering.

242

It was such a relief to see a friend that I almost cried.

243

We ate chocolate cake on my bed and caught up.

244

I'm sorry.

245

It was totally unfair of me to act like what happened was your fault.

246

All you've ever done is try to help me.

247

And advice should be a two-way street.

248

I hope you know you can come to me when you're struggling too.

249

Want to see a video of a baby tiger?

250

Maybe I didn't need to run away.

251

I felt stronger with Elaine in my corner.

252

The next day, the football player came up to me again.

253

I tried going around, but he wouldn't let me.

254

Hey, uh, it wasn't cool of me to say those things to you.

255

I'm really sorry.

256

I have to admit, I didn't expect an apology from him.

257

When I got to my locker, something even more surprising happened.

258

It was filled with flowers and about a hundred thank you cards.

259

All day, students surprised me with gifts, cards, or sometimes just a hug.

260

I guess my big speech at the assembly had gotten through to people.

261

After school, Matt found me on the bleachers reading some of my cards.

262

You okay?

263

It hasn't been easy lately, but yeah, I'll be okay.

264

I never set out to trick you, you know.

265

When I first asked for help, I thought I wanted my ex back.

266

You helped me realize that we weren't right for each other.

267

You helped me realize something too.

268

I did?

269

What?

270

That it's okay if I don't have it all figured out.

271

It has to happen naturally.

272

And maybe my dad will never go back to work.

273

But I'm not him.

274

I know I'll find my purpose someday.

275

So I guess we did help each other.

276

I guess so.

277

Maybe we could hang out sometime?

278

Like normal people, instead of as part of some deal?

279

I'd like that.

280

Things got a lot better after that.

281

And I realized something else.

282

That no one can give perfect advice 100% of the time.

283

But that doesn't mean I should stop trying.

284

I liked helping people.

285

I was gonna keep doing it.

286

Even if sometimes I failed, the people who mattered most to me would be in my corner no matter what.

287

And the times when someone told me I'd made a difference in their lives, no matter how small, made it all worth it.

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.
