What about you?
Còn bạn thì sao?
4
Only for a couple of months.
Chỉ trong vài tháng thôi.
5
Why did you decide to work from home?
6
Was it when you had your son?
7
No, I was already working from home when my son was born.
8
Actually, I started working from home as a freelance writer because I got an offer to write a geography book.
9
Before that, I was working as a teacher, but it was really tiring.
10
The writing job wasn't well paid, but it seemed interesting, so I decided to quit teaching and do it.
11
After that project, I applied for other jobs, and luckily the work kept coming.
12
What about you?
13
Oh, I started working from home because the company I worked for was losing money.
14
They had to downsize.
15
A few of my colleagues lost their jobs.
16
The company moved to a smaller building.
17
I could only keep my job if I agreed to work from home, so I did.
18
Do you enjoy it?

Not really.
20
I miss chatting to people, joking around, or deciding at the last minute to go for a drink or dinner after work.
21
Just chatting to colleagues, we found things we had in common.
22
I started playing badminton with one girl, and played cards in the evenings with some others,
23
but they've all lost their jobs and moved away now.
24
New people have started work at the company, but I don't get to know them like I did in the past.
25
Yes, I can see that's a problem.
26
Is it the same for you?
27
Not really.
28
As a teacher, I was always too tired or too busy to socialise much with colleagues.
29
Now I'm busy, but not as tired.
30
That means I have enough energy to spend time with people.
31
Of course, I spend time with my family, but I'm also going to an art class at the moment, and I've met a couple of great ladies there,
32
and we often meet up for drinks and chat.
33
Maybe you should do something like that too.
34
Maybe I should.

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.
