The tickets, the original tickets were $160, but the penalties have raised that to $310.

$10, there's $150 in penalties.
39
So I'm gonna waive the penalties.

There's a mandatory $100 boot fee.
42
And the original tickets were $160, the original tickets.
43
It's a total of $260, sir.
44
How much of that can you pay today?

Honestly, Your Honor, I could pay $60 today.

Well, you have to pay at least $100 to get the boot released.

I gotta try to pay $100.
48
And then what about the remaining balance, Your Honor?

What would I do?

I'm gonna release the boot for 60.
51
I'm not gonna leave you broke.
52
I understand that, okay?
53
Yup, I appreciate it.
54
You come across as being a very sincere guy.
55
I am.
56
And I know you're paying for something because it's out of love of your daughter that you're sharing her car.
57
I'm impressed by the fact that you see her every day.
58
So I'm not gonna place you in an impossible situation.
59
So I'm gonna release the boot today.
60
Okay.
61
How much can you afford a week?

I could pay $20 a week, $25 a week.
63
All right, can you afford the 20 a week?
64
Yes.
65
20 a week, don't miss the payments because they'll put the boot back on the car.
66
Okay.

If you can't make the 20, call us and tell us.

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.
