Hello everyone and welcome!
2
The goal of this video is to help you practice listening in English.
3
And if you want, you can also practice shadowing.
4
That means you repeat along with me.
5
Pause the video after each phrase and say it out loud.
6
Today I have a short and funny story for you.
7
It is about a girl who just arrived in Los Angeles, California.
8
She wants to study English and live new experiences,
9
but one day, something unusual happens when she takes the bus.
10
Do you want to know what happened?
11
Listen carefully to this story.
12
Are you ready?
13
Let's begin.
14
I am in Los Angeles,
15
and I have only been here for a few days.
16
Everything feels new, and every day brings a new challenge.
17
I am here to study English,
18
and I feel both excited and nervous.
19
My brother tells me that life here is fast,
20
and I must learn quickly.
21
He usually drives me to my English school and takes me back home after class.
22
That makes me feel safe because I do not know the city very well yet.
23
But today is different.
24
My brother calls me in the morning and says, I am sorry.
25
I cannot pick you up after class.
26
I have to work late.
27
I say yes, but inside my mind I think,
28
what do I do now?
29
I have never gone home alone and I do not know the streets.
30
My classmates tell me, take the bus, it is easy.
31
Easy?
32
Maybe for them, but not for me.
33
Still, I tell myself I must be brave.
34
I repeat again and again, I can do this.
35
When class finishes, I walk outside and look for the bus stop.
36
The bus comes, and I get on.
37
At first, I feel proud.
38
I think this is my first real step alone in this city.
39
I listen to the stops,
40
and I count them in my head.
41
One stop, two stops, three stops.
42
My heart beats fast because I do not want to miss the right one.
43
Suddenly I think, is this my stop?
44
I'm not sure, but I decide to trust my guess.
45
I step out.
46
The bus leaves.
47
I look around and then I realize something is not right.
48
Where am I?
49
Did I get off too early?
50
My mind fills with questions.
51
I feel a mix of fear and excitement.
52
Maybe this will be easy.
53
Or maybe this will be a big mistake.
54
What do you think happens next?
55
I stand on the street and I try to understand where I am.
56
I say to myself, this is not the right place.
57
I think maybe I get off too early,
58
but I do not want to believe it.
59
I start walking and I tell myself that the house must be close.
60
One minute passes, then two minutes, then five.
61
The houses look the same to me in my mind,
62
but the street names are not the ones I remember.
63
I stop and think, maybe the next corner will be familiar.
64
I continue walking, but nothing changes.
65
I whisper, am I lost?
66
I think about waiting for another bus,
67
but I do not know which bus number to take.
68
I imagine myself waiting for hours and then still not finding the way home.
69
I say, no, I must keep going.
70
Walking is better.
71
So I continue and I start counting the blocks.
72
One block, two blocks, three blocks.
73
Each block feels longer than the last.
74
My feet begin to feel heavy and I laugh to myself because I remember when my brother said,
75
the bus is the easiest way.
76
Easy?
77
Not today.
78
Suddenly, I hear my phone ring.
79
It is my brother.
80
He says, where are you?
81
I just finished work early.
82
I can meet you.
83
My face feels hot, even if he cannot see me.
84
I answer, I got off the bus too early.
85
I thought it was the right stop, but it was not.
86
I am walking home now.
87
He laughs and says, why did you not wait for another bus?
88
I do not know what to answer.
89
I only say, I thought it was faster.
90
But deep inside, I know the truth.
91
I am lost and I do not want him to know how lost I really am.
92
I end the call and keep walking.
93
Will I finally see something familiar or will I keep walking forever?
94
I keep walking and I try to remember the map in my mind.
95
I think the house is close,
96
but every street I pass feels strange.
97
I count again.
98
10 minutes walking, 15 minutes walking.
99
I start to feel that I am not going home,
100
but going in circles.
101
I say to myself, this cannot be true.
102
Did I really make such a big mistake?
103
Then another thought comes.
104
Maybe I passed the house already.
105
Maybe I am now even farther away.
106
I stop and feel a little panic.
107
Should I call my brother again?
108
If I call, he will know I am completely lost.
109
I do not want him to think I cannot do something so simple.
110
I tell myself, no, I must solve this alone.
111
I continue, and finally I see a sign with a name that looks familiar.
112
My heart jumps, but when I read it again,
113
I notice it is not the same name.
114
It only looks similar.
115
I feel both hope and disappointment at the same time.
116
I laugh nervously and whisper, why me?
117
Then my phone rings again.
118
It is my brother.
119
This time his voice is serious.
120
He says, Tell me where you are right now.
121
I look around and try to find a clue.
122
I see a small store with a big number.
123
I read the number to him.
124
He is quiet for a moment.
125
Then he says, You are still two stops away from home.
126
You got off much too early.
127
I close my eyes and cannot believe it.
128
Two stops?
129
That means a long walk.
130
He offers to pick me up,
131
but I shake my head even if he cannot see me.
132
I answer.
133
No, I want to continue walking.
134
I need to learn.
135
Inside, I wonder if I am brave or just stubborn.
136
The walk feels endless now.
137
Will I make it home on my own?
138
Or will I finally ask for help?
139
I keep walking and I try to stay positive.
140
I tell myself, just a little more, just a little more.
141
But every step feels like 10 steps.
142
My feet feel heavy and I start to imagine that they are no longer feet,
143
but two big stones.
144
I laugh alone because the situation is so strange.
145
I think, I only wanted to go home.
146
Why is this so difficult?
147
After what feels like forever,
148
I finally see the right street.
149
My heart feels lighter and I almost want to shout, Yes!
150
I made it!
151
I walk faster and at last I see the house.
152
I cannot believe it.
153
I am home.
154
My brother is already waiting at the door.
155
He looks at me and asks,
156
Why did you not wait for me?
157
Why did you not take another bus?
158
I do not know what to say.
159
So I simply answer, I thought I could do it alone.
160
He starts laughing and says,
161
Now you will never forget the right stop.
162
I laugh too, because it is true.
163
That night I sit down and think about the day.
164
I feel tired, but I also feel proud.
165
I did not give up,
166
even when I was lost.
167
I learned that mistakes are part of learning.
168
I tell myself, today I learned two lessons.
169
First, always check the bus stop.
170
Second, do not be afraid of mistakes because they make you stronger.
171
I smile and whisper, next time I will get it right.
172
When I think about this story, I realize something important.
173
In the story, I get off the bus too early.
174
I feel lost, but I decided to keep walking.
175
That is the same with English.
176
Sometimes we feel lost when we listen to a conversation.
177
We hear many words, but we do not catch them all.
178
Still, we must keep listening.
179
Sometimes we feel lost when we try to speak.
180
The words do not come fast and our sentences feel slow.
181
Still, we must keep talking.
182
The important thing is to keep moving forward.
183
At the end of the story, I finally arrive home.
184
I am tired, but I feel proud.
185
In the same way, when we practice English,
186
Maybe we feel tired, but every small step makes us stronger.
187
We learn new words, new expressions,
188
and little by little we become more confident.
189
The message is simple, so do not stop.
190
Keep listening, keep repeating, keep speaking.
191
Your home is your English goal and you will get there.
192
Language Takeaway Vocabulary from today's story.
193
Alright, my friend, let's take a little more time with today's words and phrases.
194
The goal is simple.
195
Understand them, remember them, and use them in real life.
196
The first one is, I have only been here.
197
This is an example of the present perfect tense.
198
We use it to talk about something that started in the past and continues until now.
199
When I say, I have only been here,
200
I mean my time in this place is short,
201
and it is still happening.
202
The action is not finished.
203
For example, I have only been here for one week.
204
That means, one week ago I arrived and I am still here now.
205
Another example, I have been here since Monday.
206
That means from Monday until now, I am still here.
207
Repeat after me.
208
I have only been here.
209
Say it again.
210
I have only been here.
211
Next phrase.
212
He usually drives me to my English school.
213
The key part here is drives me.
214
The verb drive means to control a car.
215
When I say he drives me,
216
it means he takes me in the car to a place.
217
So, he drives me to school means he uses the car and I go with him.
218
This is something we use a lot in daily life.
219
For example, my mom drives me to the supermarket.
220
Or, my friend drives me to work every morning.
221
You can also use it with other subjects.
222
I drive my brother to the gym.
223
Repeat after me.
224
He drives me.
225
Say it again.
226
Drives me to school.
227
Another phrase is, I cannot pick you up after class.
228
The phrasal verb pick up is very common.
229
It means go somewhere and take a person or a thing with you.
230
For example, if I say,
231
I will pick you up at the airport,
232
it means I go to the airport,
233
meet you there, and take you home in my car.
234
Or if I say, can you pick me up at the bus stop?
235
It means please come and take me from that place.
236
You can also use it with objects.
237
I pick up the package from the post office.
238
Repeat after me.
239
Pick you up.
240
Say it again.
241
Pick me up.
242
Now listen.
243
I have never gone home alone.
244
This is also present perfect.
245
The word never makes it strong.
246
It means not one time,
247
zero times in all my life until now.
248
So if I say, I have never gone home alone,
249
it means it has not happened before.
250
Not even once.
251
Other examples, I have never eaten sushi.
252
That means in all my life until now,
253
I have not tried sushi.
254
Or, she has never traveled by plane.
255
That means she has not had that experience.
256
Repeat after me.
257
I have never gone home alone.
258
Say it again.
259
I have never gone home alone.
260
Here is a question from the story.
261
Did I get off too early?
262
The phrasal verb get off means to leave a bus,
263
a train, or a plane.
264
If you are on the bus and the bus stops when you go out of the bus,
265
you get off.
266
For example, I get off the bus at the last stop.
267
Or, he gets off the train at the station.
268
You can also ask, where do you get off?
269
That means, what is your stop?
270
Repeat after me.
271
Get off.
272
Say it again.
273
Did I get off too early?
274
And the last one is,
275
you got off much too early.
276
Here, the important part is much too early.
277
When we say too early,
278
it means before the correct time.
279
But when we say much too early,
280
it means really, really early.
281
Not just a little mistake, but a big one.
282
For example, I arrived much too early for the party.
283
That means maybe the party starts at 7,
284
but I came at 5.
285
Or, she finished the test much too early.
286
That means she stopped quickly, probably before everyone else.
287
Repeat after me.
288
Much too early.
289
Say it again.
290
You got off much too early.
291
Challenge for you.
292
You… try to use at least two or three of these phrases today.
293
You can tell a friend,
294
pick me up after work,
295
or you can say, I have never gone to that restaurant.
296
Remember, every time you use them,
297
they become part of your English.
298
And that's it for today, my friend.
299
You now know some useful phrases from our story,
300
phrases you can practice and use in real life.
301
But we are not stopping here,
302
because in the next video,
303
I'm going to share more phrases that look simple, but can be tricky.
304
Sometimes they sound very normal,
305
but if you use them in the wrong way,
306
people might get confused or even laugh.
307
Trust me, you don't want that to happen.
308
In fact, there is one phrase that many English learners use almost every day.
309
But in some situations, it can sound a little… strange.
310
Do you want to know what it is?
311
Click on the next video right here and find out.
312
I promise, after you watch it,
313
you will feel more confident and you will avoid some funny misunderstandings.

Tại sao nên luyện nói với video này?
Luyện nói tiếng Anh là một phần không thể thiếu trong quá trình học ngôn ngữ. Video này cung cấp một môi trường lý tưởng để bạn có thể thực hành shadowing tiếng anh. Bằng cách lặp lại các câu nói trong video, bạn không chỉ cải thiện khả năng phát âm mà còn nâng cao sự tự tin khi giao tiếp. Hơn nữa, việc luyện nghe nói qua video này giúp bạn làm quen với nhịp điệu tự nhiên và cách diễn đạt của người bản xứ.
Ngữ pháp & Biểu thức trong ngữ cảnh
Trong video, có một số cấu trúc ngữ pháp và biểu thức quan trọng mà người diễn thuyết sử dụng:
- "I have only been here for a few days." - Cấu trúc hiện tại hoàn thành này cho thấy khoảng thời gian đã trải qua và cảm xúc hiện tại của nhân vật.
- "I have never gone home alone." - Sử dụng thì hiện tại hoàn thành để nhấn mạnh rằng trải nghiệm này là điều mới mẻ đối với nhân vật.
- "I tell myself I must be brave." - Câu này thể hiện sự tự kỷ luật và quyết tâm, rất hữu ích trong việc giữ vững tinh thần khi học ngoại ngữ.
Những cấu trúc này không chỉ giúp bạn hiểu rõ hơn về ngữ pháp mà còn là công cụ để bạn áp dụng chúng vào cuộc sống hàng ngày.
Các bẫy phát âm thường gặp
Khi luyện nói tiếng Anh qua video này, bạn có thể gặp một số từ và cách phát âm khó khăn:
- "Los Angeles" - Hãy chú ý âm "Los" và "Angeles", cả hai từ này có thể khiến người học gặp khó khăn trong việc nhấn trọng âm.
- "classmates" - Từ này có thể dễ gây nhầm lẫn khi phát âm vì âm "s" và "m" gần nhau.
- "brave" - Âm "r" trong từ này rất quan trọng, bạn cần luyện tập để tránh phát âm sai.
Khi sử dụng phần mềm shadowing để luyện tập, hãy chú ý đến những từ này để cải thiện khả năng phát âm của mình. Việc shadow speech sẽ giúp bạn nghe và nói theo cách tự nhiên nhất, đồng thời nâng cao kỹ năng giao tiếp của bạn trong tiếng Anh.
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.
