Hello and welcome to the English Like a Native podcast.
2
My name is Anna and you're listening to week 39,
3
day four of your English Five a Day, the second season.
4
I'm here every day of the working week from Monday to Friday to help you over time grow your passive
5
and hopefully active vocabulary to improve your listening skills and,
6
of course, start to feel more like yourself when communicating in English.
7
So let's begin today's episode as we always do,
8
with a snapshot of what's to come.
9
Under the cold strip lighting of the police station,
10
the forensic expert reviewed the evidence one last time.
11
Jake was finally in the clear but still haunted by the night he saw the crime and stayed silent.
12
He knew he had to do the right thing,
13
even if it meant testifying against an old friend.
14
OK, let's dive into the vocabulary now,
15
starting with the noun forensic expert.
16
A forensic expert.
17
Two words, forensic, we spell F-O-R-E-N-S-I-C, forensic expert, E-X-P-E-R-T.
18
A forensic expert is a professional who uses science to study crime evidence,
19
such as fingerprints or blood.
20
When I was younger, I considered becoming a forensic expert,
21
somebody who would solve crimes.
22
I think I'm quite a perceptive person and I thought perhaps that would be a good career to go into.
23
But then I'm also quite sensitive and I'd probably be haunted by the awful things
24
that I would see if I were a forensic expert.
25
and I would love to know if I have any forensic experts listening.
26
So here's an example sentence for you.
27
Police called in a forensic expert to analyse the crime scene.
28
Next we have the noun strip lighting.
29
Strip lighting.
30
Two words.
31
Strip, S-T-R-I-P.
32
Strip lighting.
33
L-I-G-H-T-I-N-G Lighting Strip lighting Strip lighting is long, thin, electric lights.
34
They're often used in offices, schools or hospitals.
35
Strip lighting It's usually not very ambient or nice lighting.
36
It's very bright.
37
Here's an example sentence.
38
Strip lighting is common in supermarkets because it's cheap and bright.
39
Next we have the idiom in the clear.
40
In the clear.
41
To be in the clear.
42
In I-N the, T-H-E, clear, C-L-E-A-R.
43
To be in the clear means you are no longer suspected of doing something wrong.
44
You're safe from blame or danger.
45
You are in the clear.
46
Now, this could be used if you were originally a suspect in a crime and then someone backs up your alibi
47
or you believe that you may have some horrible illness or disease
48
and then you get the results of some tests that show you that you are now in the clear.
49
Woohoo!
50
So here's an example sentence.
51
The jury delivered a verdict of not guilty.
52
She was finally in the clear.
53
Next we have the verb phrase haunted by.
54
Haunted by.
55
Haunted, we spell H-A-U-N-T-E-D.
56
Haunted by, B-Y.
57
To be haunted by something is to be troubled or followed by a bad memory,
58
a bad thought or feeling.
59
I remember seeing a child once get his leg caught in the spokes of a bicycle wheel
60
and the child was deeply distressed.
61
And it was distressing watching everyone try to free this boy's leg from the spokes of the bicycle wheel.
62
It wasn't a very long time before he was eventually freed,
63
but I was haunted by the image of that boy's face
64
and haunted by his cries for quite a long time after that.
65
I mean, I'm mentioning it now,
66
and it happened when I was a young girl,
67
so evidently it stuck with me.
68
What have you been haunted by in the past?
69
Here's an example sentence.
70
She was haunted by the memory of the accident.
71
Last but not least, we have the phrase do the right thing.
72
Do the right thing.
73
Four words.
74
Do, D-O, the, right, R-I-G-H-T, thing, T-H-I-N-G.
75
Do the right thing means act with honesty or integrity,
76
even when it's awkward.
77
We should all do the right thing,
78
if possible, if we can.
79
And here's an example sentence.
80
He decided to do the right thing and admit his mistake.
81
OK, that's our five.
82
So let's do a quick recap.
83
We started with the noun forensic expert.
84
A forensic expert is a professional who uses science to study evidence in order to solve a crime.
85
So the evidence might be fingerprints or blood.
86
All right, that's a forensic expert.
87
Next, we have the noun strip lighting,
88
which is that long, thin,
89
electric light often used in offices, schools or hospitals.
90
Strip lighting.
91
Then we had the idiom in the clear.
92
To be in the clear means to no longer be suspected of doing something wrong or to be safe from danger.
93
You're in the clear.
94
Then we had the verb phrase haunted by,
95
which means you're troubled or followed by a bad memory, thought or feeling.
96
You're haunted by it.
97
And we had the phrase,
98
do the right thing, which is to act with honesty or integrity.
99
Even when it's awkward, you do the right thing.
100
Wonderful.
101
Now I want you to repeat after me.
102
Forensic expert.
103
Forensic expert.
104
Strip lighting.
105
Strip lighting In the clear In the clear Haunted by
106
Haunted by Do the right thing Do the right thing Fabulous
107
Let's listen to our snapshot once again
108
Under the cold strip lighting of the police station The forensic expert reviewed the evidence one last time
109
Jake was finally in the clear
110
But still haunted by the night he saw the crime
111
And stayed silent He knew he had to do the right thing even if it meant testifying against an old friend.
112
Very good.
113
Okay, it's time to head into my favourite part of the episode.
114
Yes, you know me.
115
I love telling the stories.
116
And so now I want you to listen out for our target vocabulary as we head into story time.
117
The strip lighting in the mortuary flickered.
118
bathing the room in a pale, uneven glow.
119
Dr. Eleanor Marsh stood over the table,
120
her gloved hands steady, her heart anything but.
121
She had worked as a forensic expert for nearly 15 years.
122
She had seen what violence did to the body,
123
and she had trained herself to remain calm in the face of blood, bone and silence.
124
Yet even now, with the scalpel poised,
125
she felt the old memory pressing at the edges of her mind.
126
It had been six years ago.
127
In a small Midlands town,
128
a young man had stood accused of murder,
129
the evidence fragile but persuasive.
130
Eleanor had found a trace of blood on his jacket.
131
Her report had convinced the jury.
132
The man was sentenced.
133
Weeks later, another killer was caught.
134
One who confessed freely.
135
describing details only the murderer could have known.
136
The young man she had helped to convict was now in the clear,
137
but he had lost everything.
138
His mother died during his time in prison,
139
and when released, he vanished without a trace.
140
Eleanor told herself she had only done her job,
141
that anyone could have made the same mistake.
142
Still, she was haunted by the case and its consequences.
143
She woke in the night hearing the words of his lawyer,
144
You have destroyed a life.
145
She wondered
146
if deep down she had been too eager to do the
147
right thing in the eyes of the court rather than in the eyes of truth.
148
Now, as she leaned over her current case,
149
a woman found in an abandoned warehouse, The past rose again.
150
The body was clothed in torn denim.
151
The fingernails cracked, skin bruised in familiar patterns.
152
Eleanor swallowed hard.
153
She knew the police were watching her closely, waiting for her analysis.
154
One detective, a sharp-eyed woman named Sergeant Cole,
155
asked in a low voice,
156
Do you think she fought back?
157
Eleanor examined the marks, her eyes narrowing.
158
Yes, she replied slowly.
159
She fought hard.
160
But even as she spoke,
161
she felt doubt creeping in.
162
What if she misread the signs again?
163
What if her judgment cost another innocent person their freedom?
164
The strip lighting buzzed overhead.
165
Eleanor forced herself to breathe evenly.
166
This time she would be cautious.
167
This time she would not let pressure or pride guide her hand.
168
She had spent six years waiting for a chance to prove that she could trust herself again.
169
She straightened, looking Sergeant Cole in the eye.
170
I need more tests before I say anything certain, she said firmly.
171
I won't repeat the mistakes of the past.
172
And though the room was cold,
173
Eleanor felt a spark of heat in her chest.
174
Perhaps at last she was ready to face the truth she had run from for so long.
175
And that brings us to the end of today's episode.
176
I do hope you enjoyed it and I hope you found it useful.
177
Until tomorrow, take very good care of yourself and goodbye.

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.
