Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: This Is All About You With Dr Shauna Watts

I'm never glad that the things that have happened have happened and that, of course, I wish that my children all had great health

and I wish that I hadn't had the health experiences that I've had.

I can't help but thinking that it's helped me and my husband both be better doctors,

because I think whenever you are that person in the bed or that person in the waiting room,

nervously wondering what the doctor is going to be like and are they going to take you seriously?

And I really think that that experience really expanded my knowledge.

And it also helped me understand what it's like to have someone in your house be quite unwell

and the impact that that has on the whole family.

So who are you and why are you here?

My name is Shauna Watt and I'm a family doctor who lives in Australia, originally from Hollywood in Northern Ireland.

I'm a 40-something mum of four children.

I own two businesses.

I've been a university teacher, a family doctor, and now I am a bit of an entrepreneur,

I suppose, and I enjoy presenting and speaking on various women's health topics.

Um, and we're here because I decided that I've got something to say

and my job has always put me in a privileged position.

I've been able to attend amazing conferences and I'm here.

Amazing people speak.

You're at the top of their field and I'm so lucky

because every day I get to pick up the phone to various specialists

and allied health people that I work with and to get support for my patients and to get advice.

And I decided that I would like to bring some of those people in to meet you all

so that you can listen in on our conversations

and hopefully take a few nuggets that might help you in your life or your children or grandchildren or partner.

And so that's really the thought behind the podcast.

Can you tell us about your childhood and where you grew up?

Yes, so I was born and raised in a small town just outside Belfast in Northern Ireland.

And I have an older sister and lived with my mum and dad.

Lived a very happy, loving household.

Unfortunately, my dad did pass away, but my mum is still alive and well.

And everyone who knows me knows that I'm with my mum.

and all my patients always ask me when she's coming next to visit

so she comes out quite a lot to visit

and I just love her so that's awesome

and I grew up surrounded with a big extended family

so I'm typically Irish perhaps my mum is one of 12

and my dad is one of eight so there is a lot of cousins

and the lovely thing is that all those cousins were in our lives

and all the aunties and uncles

so you kind of grew up with cousins who were your friends

and various cousins have come and met us

and we've met them in America they've come to Australia

so that's really awesome

but yeah really happy childhood went to school the whole way

through in the same town called Hollywood where all the stars are from.

No, so all joking aside, it is Hollywood.

And we were there before Hollywood in America, but our one is only spelt with one L.

But it is pronounced Hollywood and some pretty famous people are from there like Van Morrison

and Rory McIlroy the golfer and Jamie Dornan.

So, you know, we're like a town of celebrities.

No, it's an awesome place and I love going back there.

and after school I went to university in Belfast

so I literally was able to take the train and

when I wasn't at university studying to be a doctor I was working in the local supermarket

and was the lottery girl and did

that the whole way until like literally about three weeks before I was a doctor

and I'm still in contact with lots of people that I worked there with as well.

So yeah, pretty happy childhood.

When did you realize that you wanted to become a doctor?

So my dad, who I did mention, he passed away over 20 years ago, but he always tells a funny story or always told a funny story

that he always knew I was going to be a nurse or a doctor because I always fussed and worried about him.

And he was ill for a very, very long time

and he used to walk me to school each day

and apparently when I was five or six or seven

or something I stopped um dead one day on the pavement

and I refused to walk and he was like what are you doing

and I apparently cried and said that his legs were too sore

and that he wasn't allowed to walk me to school anymore

because I was too worried that something was going to happen to him

so he um would say that it was from

that point um realistically i definitely went through a time

when i was probably 12 or 13 where i was going to be a vet

and and i absolutely love animals

and anyone who follows me will often see pictures of me with my great dane

and my other dogs so i love animals

but um ultimately um i think sometime in my teens i decided

that i was going to be a doctor

and to be honest it was just head down bum up

and I just studied like mad to get into university

and at 18 I went off to university

and started studying to be a doctor

and at the time I was 23 years old I was on the wards as a doctor in the hospital.

And what about your your own family husband kids?

Yes so I met my husband Peter at medical school

so we didn't know each other right from the first few days of medical school

but we didn't start dating i think for another maybe three

or four years and we've been together ever since and and we have four children together he range from

22 to 12 and so we've got two boys and two girls

and i'm pretty obsessed with my kids

that up there with my obsession with my mother and and

and they're all very individual and and really awesome

and i do look back and think 10 years ago

when i was standing at dublin airport with what seemed like 27 suitcases

and i had a two-year-old and a four-year-old and a 10-year-old

and a 12-year-old i look back and think god i was

so crazy what was i thinking because we came to australia

and we didn't know anyone like we literally did not know anyone

and we didn't know anyone on the central coast

but here we are 10 years later we've got lots of friends our kids love it

100

and i feel like we're so integrated so yeah it's been good

101

and when you first started your journey as a doctor

102

and practicing what kind of things were you doing

103

so obviously all doctors start off as hospital doctors or junior doctors

104

and I had a very firm idea of what I wanted to be

105

and I was obsessed with being a pediatric surgeon

106

so a children's surgeon

107

that was all I was going to be no one was

108

going to be able to talk me out of it

109

and lots of people did try and talk me out of it

110

but I was pretty determined and look I did really very well at medical school

111

and so I was very lucky that I actually got a position on the surgical training program, which is pretty difficult.

112

And although I absolutely loved it and I thrived and I loved being in theater and the operating and just the buzz, like it's definitely quite exciting,

113

maybe just as a junior doctor, but I loved it.

114

But what I realized quite quickly was that I actually loved talking to patients more.

115

I always wondered what happened next and I realized very quickly

116

that I loved patients stories and I love to be part of their stories

117

so one of my jobs was in the breast cancer unit

118

and I just remember I always used to wonder how the patients got on like did

119

that lady did she get to go to her son's wedding

120

or you know did that person manage to see their son graduate

121

and I always wondered what happened next

122

and the funny thing is I always say

123

that general practice probably chose me a lot longer before I had made

124

that decision at medical school I actually won a medal

125

and prize for general practice and that was quite a nice thing to win

126

and I was obviously really proud and really happy

127

but I remember being presented with the award

128

and the professor of general practice trying to talk me into being a general practitioner

129

and I was quite determined no no I'm not going to be a GP I'm going to be a surgeon

130

and I look back now and think that I'm so glad

131

that I did make that change

132

because I love being a doctor I love being a GP I'm really lucky

133

that I'm one of those people I look forward to every day it's such a it's such a hard job

134

and And I think people don't maybe appreciate actually how much you have to know about

135

so many subjects and so many topics and so many medications,

136

but it's actually such a privilege and it's all the interconnections because you know,

137

often know a whole family and the in-laws and you know their story.

138

And I definitely have quite a good memory.

139

So people always go, I can't believe you remember that.

140

it's not often not because I've written it on

141

but I'll kind of remember that really quirky comment

142

that someone's told me about and I'll remember

143

so yeah that's kind of was my journey to general practice

144

I also throughout my career I've always been involved really in teaching

145

and I taught at the university in Belfast for quite a long time

146

and then I've also taught students in the GP clinic

147

and then in later most recent years I've been teaching at the University of Sydney as well

148

and I absolutely love that it's such a buzz the students are

149

so enthusiastic and the things

150

that I love teaching are those softer skills like you know communication

151

but in a really soft way and looking behind what the patient is really saying

152

and I think that the students seem to enjoy my lessons

153

so recently had to give that up because i just don't have enough time

154

but it's definitely something that i've loved and i um really miss

155

and i kind of hope in this podcast that it's something

156

that will be able to um skills that will be transferable

157

because the reality is i just want and to be able to help

158

so many people and help them understand you know their health journey

159

and of the topics that you teach or experience in your sort of day-to-day are there any that you have

160

sort of a deeper interest in or of real focus areas for you?

161

Definitely.

162

I think as a mum of four, there's no doubt that I'm definitely still really interested in children.

163

I love having children and teenagers in my clinic with me.

164

I feel like I'm good at building rapport with children,

165

but I suppose really I have gravitated a lot towards women's health and women's mental health.

166

So I do spend a lot of time doing quite long consultations for people with complex mental health disorders.

167

And I absolutely love the relationships that I've developed with local psychologists and psychiatrists.

168

And, you know, I have various, you know, eating disorder teams and things like that who work really closely with me.

169

So I suppose those are my real interests.

170

And then I think stemming from my own personal experiences, I also have a real interest in perimenopause and menopause.

171

As someone who had an early menopause myself and it potentially wasn't managed the best.

172

I think I have a lot of empathy for people who are going through that.

173

And I think, you know, I've tried to really educate myself because the reality is whether we like it or not, there's not a lot of education done at medical school.

174

And in fact, in a lot of training on menopause and perimenopause.

175

And that's obviously a subject that's been getting increasing airtime because, you know, I think lots of women have just got to the point where they've kind of had enough

176

and they want someone to pay attention.

177

so that was um and still is a very big interest

178

and I suppose leading on from that and I have my own clinics

179

and now one in the central coast and one in Newcastle

180

and and that really evolved for many reasons

181

and one um I have to admit I was always someone who thought

182

that I would never have anti-wrinkle injections and

183

so I kind of do have a chuckle to myself occasionally

184

and when I realize not only do I have them

185

but I give them and but I came at this

186

because I wanted it to be different I felt like there the medicine had been taken out of aesthetics

187

and I felt that the medicine needed to be put back in I felt

188

that the doctor needed to be put back into those

189

consultations

190

and I wanted everything to be slowed down I felt like

191

sometimes it's all become a bit of a rush something

192

that you maybe you know you're in this shopping center

193

and you nip in have this treatment

194

and I think somewhere along the way the the consequences

195

and the potential side effects have maybe got a little bit diluted

196

and perhaps people don't quite understand until something goes wrong

197

and it was on the back of me as a gp

198

kind of dealing with some patients who had difficult consequences of a few treatments

199

that i hadn't done and in fact i didn't really know anything about at

200

that point that made me do a bit of a deep dive to understand what those patients had had

201

and possibly what had gone wrong and it made me decide

202

that i wanted to see if i could do do it differently.

203

And so out of that was born you.

204

And so my clinics are called you by Dr. Shauna Watts.

205

And, and that name really was chosen for a few reasons.

206

You, because I want my patients to know that they'll walk in looking like themselves.

207

So you'll be you when you walk in and you'll be you when you walk out.

208

So I think the thing that's interesting in cosmetic medicine is there are some really incredible technologies

209

and some really amazing research

210

but we've all seen this sort of skewed far end where

211

the person who's potentially had a lot of work done

212

and we've seen celebrities where it's all gone a bit over the top

213

and I wanted to show that you actually can use some of these really interesting

214

and great innovations but you can use them in a very subtle and you can use them to improve someone's confidence,

215

but they can walk in looking like themselves and they can walk out looking like themselves.

216

And I think the reason that we ended up wanting to have my name

217

and the name was I wanted to say that I'm going to take responsibility.

218

So it wasn't that I was sort of a nameless organization that I was going to literally sign my name below it.

219

And that does have its own, I suppose, pressure.

220

But that's good because that means that I'm always striving to make sure that we always try our best.

221

And, you know, we're not perfect.

222

And we, I'm sure at times, you know, people will potentially feel like we haven't always been 100%.

223

But, you know, I'm always striving to make sure that our customer care is amazing, that our aftercare is amazing and

224

and in fact you know even there was a slip of the tongue

225

because they're not customers they're they're patients and we refer to them as patients

226

and at my clinic we just constantly check in the doctor's always checking in

227

so that you don't just go off

228

and disappear into the ether you know there's always a doctor

229

at the very minimum every three months the doctor is bringing you back in to see how are you going

230

and the nice thing about our clinic as well is

231

that I really focused our clinics on

232

that group of women who I thought had

233

that risk of starting to become a little bit invisible women

234

who at a certain age were beginning to lose a bit of confidence

235

and who unfortunately in society often can become a bit ignored

236

and and although we know I attract women of all ages I'm still really proud that for a long time,

237

our clinic was absolutely focused on that age group of sort of people between 40 and 70.

238

And I was really happy to be working with that group of women.

239

And what's been really lovely is just watching women who, you know, I think all of us are moving through years of our lives

240

and I know I'm not the same person as I was

241

when I was 20 or when I was 30

242

or in fact even the same person

243

that I was six months ago like we're always evolving

244

and growing and and you know I know we talk about post-traumatic stress

245

but I also think that there's another thing called post-traumatic growth

246

and I think that we all can move forward together so I think it's a very positive clinic

247

in a very positive environment.

248

And that has sort of ended up, you know, what we do there has actually ended up expanding.

249

So we've got very incorporating a lot of lifestyle medicine, helping people with their weight, helping people with perimenopause, menopausal symptoms.

250

So yeah, the whole thing's always evolving and growing, which is fun.

251

It's fun every day going to work.

252

Amazing.

253

And what about on sort of the other side of things, your experience as not just a doctor but being a patient yourself

254

so I think that's really interesting and although I'm never glad

255

that the things that have happened have happened and

256

that of course I wish that my children all had great health

257

and I wish that I hadn't had the health experiences

258

that I've had I can't help but thinking that it's helped me

259

and my husband both be better doctors because I think whenever you are

260

that person in the bed or

261

that person in the waiting room nervously wondering what the doctor is going to be like

262

and are they going to take you seriously it really helps you see how intimidating it is

263

and how frustrating it can be

264

and even though we were doctors at times you know we have felt you know dismissed

265

or not taken seriously so I think

266

the interesting part for us has been

267

that of our four children um the first two were really very healthy um

268

and we didn't really have any significant health problems

269

but then our third child my daughter had very significant health problems

270

and I actually had to take quite a significant time out

271

of work to um spend a lot of time in hospital with her

272

and at that point we lived still in Northern Ireland, but we frequently had to fly to Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, where she was also a patient.

273

And I think that probably also honed my researching skills because my daughter's got quite a rare condition.

274

So I would be sitting late at night researching, reading, finding journals, trying to find experts in Germany, in the USA.

275

And I really think that that experience really expanded my knowledge and it also helped me understand what it's like to have

276

someone in your house be quite unwell and the impact that that has on the whole family

277

and we also have a child who's neurodivergent

278

and that's been a bit of a learning curve for us as well i think

279

if i'm being honest i probably used to pat myself on

280

the back uh probably a bit too much um about you know i was such a great parent

281

and my first two children were so easy and

282

and i think you know i got a bit of a rude awakening

283

and realized that that was probably more to do with their personalities rather than my

284

and peter's magnificent parenting and and but what has been lovely is

285

that i definitely am a believer on my good days

286

that um these children are sent to teach us something and

287

and have taught me a lot more patience

288

and um how to you know work around situations and not be

289

so shitey and things so i think that's really helped me

290

and both as a person and as a doctor

291

and then the other thing

292

that we went through whenever i was in my early 30s um actually a few years

293

so my dad had had been um had passed away probably about six

294

or seven years by this time and his sister my dad's sister became very unwell

295

and ultimately died from breast and ovarian cancer

296

and i was very close to her i'd grown up with her my whole life

297

and in fact her end of life care she had me front

298

and center of it she didn't seem to trust any other doctors

299

and then me so that was i was very close to

300

that situation and at the same time two of my cousins on

301

that same side of the family also had breast cancer

302

and they were very young and ultimately we realized after my aunt had passed away that she carried

303

the BRCA1 gene which nowadays a lot of people have heard of

304

and because my dad had passed away they went straight to testing myself

305

and my sister and whereas they they tested all my my dad's siblings

306

and I have to say I probably went into that really naively

307

and that was one of the situations where probably being a doctor wasn't super helpful

308

and because I definitely didn't really think it through

309

and think through what the potential implications of knowing would be

310

I was quite blase about having the blood test I was a hundred percent sure it was going to be fine.

311

And then it was a bit of a shock when it wasn't.

312

And the way I got the news, which was actually entirely my fault, I was at work and ended up getting them.

313

And I actually don't remember, I had to drive home that night for about one hour

314

and I actually don't even remember that journey home because I think, you know, there's no doubt

315

that lots of people will see having a gene is a sort of oh it's a positive thing

316

that you know but bear in mind I had literally just watched my auntie die

317

and leave her children and I also was watching two of my cousins be extremely unwell

318

so it was pretty that was very very hard it was a really difficult time

319

I found it very scary for a long time

320

and I think it definitely gives you a different perspective on life

321

and because I feel like you know you've got this thing

322

and you have to make a decision like what can you do to reduce your risk

323

and I had certainly one plan in my mind of what was going to happen

324

and then I had my third daughter or my third child

325

and when she was so unwell all my plans went out the window

326

because of course as a mum you just focus on your child

327

and the reality is that I was just having regular screening tests

328

and then got a phone call to say actually we need to do this surgery

329

so that was pretty confronting um so I think I was 32 or 33 and I had a double mastectomy

330

or a bilateral mastectomy and then I decided

331

that I wanted to have another baby

332

so we um then had our fourth child and

333

because of the gene that I have it can give you breast cancer ovarian cancer

334

but pancreatic and also the gene that I have also seems to give you a type of lung cancer as well

335

so I mean there's only so many organs from your body

336

that you can decide you're going to do something about

337

and there's lots of different mutations like some people don't have all of those risks

338

but those are the ones that run in our family

339

so basically at my cesarean section for Quinn I went from being pregnant to menopausal in 30 minutes

340

so we went and we made the decision that we had to remove my ovaries.

341

And I suppose if we fast forward now, so that's 12 years ago,

342

that's probably one of the reasons why I have a lot of empathy for women who are perimenopausal.

343

At that time, I was in my early 30s.

344

Absolutely none of my friends could really understand.

345

I couldn't really understand many of the symptoms, to be honest.

346

It really wasn't something that was

347

hugely talked about and at that time hormone replacement therapy

348

or HRT had massively gone out of favor

349

and it was considered too risky for people who had either breast cancer

350

or a high risk of breast cancer to be on HRT

351

so it was definitely quite a challenging time

352

and I have a look back now and think god I survived

353

that but I think you know I had four kids

354

and it was busy and one was sick and you know

355

so I used to just put all the symptoms down to to

356

that but I think again all of those things I'm a great believer

357

if it doesn't kill you it'll make you stronger kind of thing

358

so I do think that it's actually helped me walk in the shoes of

359

so many women and not only women who are in their 40s

360

and 50s but also that significant cohort of women who have a very early menopause

361

and that might be because it's a natural thing for them

362

but it is also because they've had surgery or chemotherapy

363

or they've had to have their ovaries removed for another reason

364

so I think that has also really impacted the things that I'm really interested in

365

and had an interesting conversation with my husband this morning

366

and he told me that he believes

367

that since I've known I have a BRCA1 that somehow subconsciously I've decided to pack

368

as much in as possible so I'm always doing something

369

and I'm definitely one of those people who finds it hard to say no to anything

370

so I'm I'm the kind of person who packs quite a lot into one day.

371

And all about you where did that name come from?

372

Well as we talked about before my other clinic is called you

373

so I like to always put the person at the center of everything

374

and really this podcast is going to be all about you we're going to be bringing um international

375

australian and local experts in their fields and authors researchers

376

and we're gonna we're gonna just suck all the information out of them get all the facts

377

so that we know what we can take into our life

378

because there's so many things that at the minute are in fashion

379

and are they fact or are they a myth are they worth doing are they actually something

380

that has got no evidence so what you can expect is

381

that we're going to do a deep dive

382

and hopefully by the end of each episode you'll walk away with at least one

383

or two nuggets that you can put in your pocket

384

and take forward with you

385

and what sort of topics will we be hoping to hear from you oh we're gonna like

386

so it because It's all about you and is literally everything that you could possibly embark upon.

387

We're going to be talking to various researchers from Australia who are at the forefront of research in women's mental health.

388

We are going to be talking to a bariatric surgeon about weight loss.

389

We're going to be talking to experts about those weight loss medications that are the do's and don'ts.

390

We're going to be talking to legal experts, relationship experts, addiction experts.

391

We're even going to be talking to people about phone addiction, gaming addiction that may be an issue for you or your child.

392

And you and I are going to just take a deep dive together.

393

You get to listen in in the conversation.

394

And I hopefully get to ask all the questions that you would want to ask if you were in my seat.

395

So if you had the chance and you could tell your 20-year-old self one thing, what would you say?

396

Gosh, one thing?

397

I have many things I'd like to say.

398

I think it would probably be to just be,

399

not overthink anything and not to worry too much about what other people think

400

because you know with time you will evolve and grow and you know you'll find your tribe,

401

you'll find the people who will gravitate towards you and like you for you

402

And even though I think that we all change, there's that core personality of who you are, it's probably constant.

403

But as you mature, you probably become a little bit more relaxed

404

and a little bit more forgiving of other people because you realize that you're not quite perfect yourself.

405

So I think my advice to my 20 year old self would be stop overthinking it.

406

Stop worrying about what everyone else thinks of you just be who you are

407

and just enjoy the ride because it goes really quickly

408

409

410

Cấu trúc	Trong video
“Used to” used to + động từ — thói quen hoặc tình trạng trong quá khứ nay không còn	used to walk · used to wonder · used to just put
Thì hiện tại hoàn thành tiếp diễn have/has been + -ing — việc bắt đầu từ trước và vẫn đang tiếp tục	I've been teaching · that's been getting

Câu bị động be + quá khứ phân từ — nhấn vào việc xảy ra, không phải người làm	was born · is pronounced · wasn't allowed

Phát âm cần chú ý

Người nói dùng 129 dạng rút gọn, ví dụ I'm, we're, I've. Hãy nói theo dạng ngắn đúng như bạn nghe.

Âm “th”: empathy /ˈɛmpəθi/, chemotherapy /ˌkiːməʊˈθɛɹəpi/, aesthetics /ɛsˈθɛt.ɪks/, thrive /θɹajv/, enthusiastic /ɪnˌθjuːzɪˈæstɪk/
Âm “sh” và “zh”: addiction /əˈdɪkˌʃən/, consultation /ˌkɑnsəlˈteɪʃən/, medication /mɛdɪˈkeɪʃən/, interconnection /ˌɪn.tɚ.kəˈnɛk.ʃən/, implication /ˌɪmpləˈkeɪʃən/
Từ dài — đặt trọng âm cho đúng: mastectomy /ˌmæsˈtɛktəmi/, ovarian /oʊˈvɛɹi.ən/, consultation /ˌkɑnsəlˈteɪʃən/, medication /mɛdɪˈkeɪʃən/, bariatric /ˌbæɹiˈætɹɪk/

Những âm người Việt thường gặp khó:

Cụm phụ âm cuối — đọc đủ từng âm, đừng nuốt âm cuối: evolve /ɪˈvɑlv/, podcast /ˈpɑdˌkæst/, consequence /ˈkɑn.sɪ.kwəns/, cohort /ˈkoʊ̯ˌhɔɹt/, embark /ɪmˈbɑɹk/
Âm /tʃ/, /dʒ/ và /ʒ/ — tiếng Việt không có, đừng đọc thành “ch” hay “gi”: surgeon /ˈsɝd͡ʒən/, researcher /ˈɹiˌsɝ.t͡ʃɚ/, privilege /ˈpɹɪv.(ɪ.)lɪd͡ʒ/, grandchild /ˈɡɹændˌtʃaɪld/, neurodivergent /ˌnʊ.ɹoʊ.dɪˈvɜɹ.dʒənt/
Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: podcast /ˈpɑdˌkæst/, auntie /ˈæn.ti/, gravitate /ˈɡɹævɪteɪt/, mastectomy /ˌmæsˈtɛktəmi/, traumatic /tɹɔˈmætɪk/

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.
