Hello, everyone, and welcome back to English Cozy Chat,
2
a slow English podcast which helps you to learn English in a fun and natural way.
3
I'm Maria, and today we are going to have a fun chat about how I feel about clothes.
4
But first, as always, let's talk about my cozy drink of the moment,
5
and that is some mint tea.
6
I really wanted to drink a second cup of coffee this morning,
7
but I did not because every time I do that,
8
it makes it hard for me to sleep and it's never good.
9
I try this many times and I think, hey, maybe it won't affect my sleep today and it always does.
10
So today I thought, okay,
11
I'll just have a cup of tea instead and I'm drinking out of my coffee cup that I made or teacup today.
12
So cheers you guys.
13
Now for today's episode I really wanted to talk about clothes because there is something that I've been thinking about.
14
I want to start off with a story.
15
I went to the United States in May, and when I was there,
16
my mom had this jacket there that she had had for a long time,
17
which I bought 20 years ago
18
and she said do you want this jacket you told me to get rid of it a long time ago
19
but I didn't and here you go do you want it back
20
and it was a little bit cold
21
so I thought okay no I'll just wear it now and
22
that will be good and then I started wearing it and I was like wow this is so comfortable.
23
This jacket I bought 20 years ago
24
and I wore it almost every day of the winter for maybe eight years in a row.
25
I wore this jacket a lot and I think I wore it
26
so much that I got sick of it and I didn't want to wear it anymore.
27
And for that reason, I told my mom, just sell it, give it away, get rid of it because I didn't want it.
28
But now I'm like, oh, this is so cozy.
29
It is really warm.
30
And I like it because it's really soft on the inside and the outside.
31
So I can put it on in the morning right when I wake up.
32
And I can also leave my house in it and it's just a jacket.
33
It's not like a jacket or a coat
34
that I need to put on and take off every time I leave the house.
35
It's comfortable for me to wear both inside and outside.
36
And I'm not sure why,
37
you guys, but this is just making me really happy to have my old jacket back that I bought 20 years ago.
38
One, because I think it brings back old memories of when I used to wear this jacket a lot.
39
I wore this jacket so much in a fun time of my life,
40
and it just feels good to wear it again.
41
And another thing is it's very comfortable,
42
so soft and really warm keeps me warm without being too hot
43
and that's why I can wear it inside and outside
44
and I also feel good to be using something that at one point I said I wanted to get rid of.
45
So, this is why I've started to think a little bit more about clothes over the past days.
46
Because, for example, this is a nice jacket.
47
This is nice.
48
It's quality.
49
And that's why I can still wear this.
50
And I will probably be able to wear this many years to come
51
but now I feel like it's always so tempting to buy things
52
that I kind of like but there's certain things
53
that I don't like about it and maybe the quality is not very good but I end up buying things anyway.
54
Just because I feel like, hey, why not?
55
Like, it's not that expensive.
56
I can buy this and wear it sometimes.
57
But the truth is, in my case, and everyone's different.
58
If I don't love something when I buy it
59
and I don't think wow this feels great
60
and for me now what is most important is
61
that clothes are comfortable and that the fabric feels good on my skin
62
and that I can breathe well and that I put it on
63
and I feel good that's the most important thing
64
and maybe I have a dress or a shirt or something that looks really nice,
65
but it's not comfortable for whatever reason.
66
And I just will not wear it.
67
I know myself and I won't.
68
Even if I want to, I'm like, oh, I want to wear this pretty dress.
69
But then I'll try it on and say, oh, no, because it doesn't feel good.
70
And I feel like now with so many options of clothes and stores and brands and styles,
71
it can be very overwhelming.
72
At least me, I'm not a very fashionable person at all.
73
Like, I don't know anything about fashion, really.
74
I appreciate good fashion, and I appreciate it when people look nice.
75
And I also like to feel good in what I'm wearing and to look nice.
76
But it's actually, it's hard for me to know what is in style
77
or what is the kind of right thing to wear as far as styles go
78
so I just feel like there is a lot of options out there
79
and for me it can be very overwhelming and even the other day I had seen some things on a website.
80
I do online shopping mainly because I hate actually going shopping and I saw some clothes that I thought looked nice.
81
I thought hey that looks good and then I was at the store one day
82
and I saw those same pieces of clothing that I saw online
83
and I thought oh that doesn't look as nice as I thought
84
or I tried them on and I thought this just doesn't this doesn't look as nice
85
and quality as it did on my computer so that's also something
86
that I have to really be careful about the truth is I think
87
that we should normalize wearing less clothes wearing less not less clothes
88
but less variety I think
89
it is perfectly fine to wear the same thing two days in a row as long as you are clean
90
and you feel good and you're not dirty,
91
I think people feel like, you know, you need to always change.
92
Obviously, if your shirt is dirty or whatever, you should change it.
93
But still, like some people want lots of variety
94
and to not ever wear the same thing twice in a short amount of time.
95
But I really think it's completely okay and actually good
96
if we have less options and only wear the things that you like.
97
And more importantly, the things that you feel good in and that you feel confident in and that make you feel comfortable.
98
Now that being said, I have a closet full of clothes
99
and i bet i only wear 20 of the clothes
100
that are in my closet i have lots of clothes
101
that are just sitting there just in case like dresses shirts pants skirts stuff
102
that i think I'm gonna keep that because maybe one day I'm gonna wear
103
that and you know what happens I never wear it
104
but it's still in my closet
105
and for some reason it's hard for me to let go of those things why is it
106
so hard sometimes to let go of things that we are not using I don't know.
107
I do try twice a year to go through my closet.
108
It's when I change my closet from summer to winter and winter to summer.
109
I go through and I do try to get rid of clothes that I'm not wearing, so clean things out.
110
But still, I always keep things that I don't need and
111
that I know I probably won't wear and it's actually kind of funny
112
when I do clean my closet out
113
and I take some clothes out to give away
114
and I will put them in a bag I have to get rid of that bag immediately.
115
Because well, first off, let me go back.
116
When I do clean out my closet, I have to in that moment have a mindset.
117
I have to be thinking, okay, Maria, get rid of stuff.
118
You need to get rid of things, throw things out, give things away. Because
119
if I'm in a mindset that's like oh
120
I don't want to I'll say oh this shirt I'll keep this this I will keep this too
121
and of course then I get rid of like three things
122
and I should be getting rid of many more so I always have like a trash bag full of clothes.
123
And I always need to make sure to get rid of
124
that trash bag as soon as possible and bring it to a donation center as soon as possible.
125
Because if it sits in my house for too long, I will start to go through it and say,
126
oh, but that sweater I'll take that and oh there's these shorts
127
and it's just it's so annoying that I do that
128
but I do that almost every time so those are always things
129
that I need to make sure that I do
130
so I'm really excited about my comfortable jacket and I think I am in the mindset now to say okay
131
Maria just do it clean out the closet only keep things
132
that you really like that make you feel good
133
that you will wear
134
and I think maybe today would be a good day for me to clean out my closet let's see
135
and guys I also wanted to mention that in my membership you receive a study sheet with every episode.
136
There is the full transcript, a vocabulary list with example sentences,
137
vocabulary exercises, some grammar exercises that go along with
138
each episode and if you are in my membership you will get one of those with every episode
139
so I just wanted to mention that to you that are interested
140
so guys let me know do you have the same struggles as me do you buy clothes
141
that you don't need do you have a lot of clothes in your closet that you don't wear?
142
Are you fashionable?
143
Are you not fashionable like me?
144
Or is there a piece of clothes that you really just love to wear
145
and that makes you happy and that you feel like you could wear every day?
146
Let me know in the comments.
147
Thank you guys so much and I hope you have a wonderful day.
148
Bye!

Ngữ pháp trong video

Những cấu trúc người nói dùng nhiều nhất, kèm đúng cụm từ trong video:

Cấu trúcTrong video
Lời khuyên với “should” should + động từ — nói điều nên làmshould normalize · should change · should be
Tương lai với “will” will + động từ — quyết định, lời hứa hoặc dự đoánwon't affect · I'll just have · I'll just wear
Bắt buộc: must / have to / need to nói rằng một việc là cần thiếtneed to put · have to really be · need to always change
Thì hiện tại tiếp diễn am/is/are + -ing — việc đang diễn ra lúc nói hoặc quanh thời điểm nàyI'm drinking · is just making · I'm wearing

Phát âm cần chú ý

Người nói dùng 42 dạng rút gọn, ví dụ I'm, don't, I'll. Hãy nói theo dạng ngắn đúng như bạn nghe.

  • Âm “th”: cloth /klɒθ/, clothing /ˈkloʊðɪŋ/, breathe /bɹiːð/
  • Âm “sh” và “zh”: fashionable /ˈfæʃənəbl̩/, trash /tɹæʃ/, sheet /ʃit/, donation /doʊˈneɪʃən/
  • Từ dài — đặt trọng âm cho đúng: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, importantly /ɪmˈpɔɹ.tənt.li/

Những âm người Việt thường gặp khó:

  • Cụm phụ âm cuối — đọc đủ từng âm, đừng nuốt âm cuối: pants /pænts/, podcast /ˈpɑdˌkæst/, mint /mɪnt/, transcript /ˈtɹæn.skɹɪpt/, overwhelm /ˌoʊ.vɚˈwɛlm/
  • Âm /tʃ/, /dʒ/ và /ʒ/ — tiếng Việt không có, đừng đọc thành “ch” hay “gi”: jacket /ˈd͡ʒæk.ɪt/, cheers /t͡ʃɪəz/
  • Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: jacket /ˈd͡ʒæk.ɪt/, fashionable /ˈfæʃənəbl̩/, trash /tɹæʃ/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, pants /pænts/

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.
