I think buying used things is pretty great Often times I'm not one to really care If something is brand new as long as it still functions As well as, or close to something that is new One man's trash is another man's Used, Trash.
2
I know everyone worries about being scammed Or attacked but honestly most of my experiences with buying used things from strangers ( : Have gone pretty smoothly.
3
Except This One.
4
And another one that I'll save for another time I mean, If someone's trying to sell you a desk but they don't have any pictures of it Then I don't know? Don't risk it!
5
When I moved out from my parent's house, I left a Playstation 3 behind Because it technically belonged to my sister.
6
But I owned a lot of the games Which I brought with me And by the time I moved out the only PS3's for sale Were used ones So I figured I check Kijiji Which is an online classified ad service Basically the Canadian version of Craig's List Even though we have, also have Craig's List here But Kijiji is better.
7
I actually bought my wii the same way a few years earlier And the dude happened to be a fan So I searched for playstation 3 and checked out what was available I came across one for $230 which came with 2 controllers and like over 20 games Most of which where like Fifa 2011 to 2069... I don't know I don't really care much for them and so I thought I try haggling Hi is this still available and if so could we negotiate on the price?
8
I'll think about it How does 200 sound?
9
215 Mh ok. I'll wait a bit And then I tried the third party tactic Hm well I'm looking at another seller and they're giving theirs for 200 Which was actually true, but they didn't have an extra controller and not over 20 games That's why I'm trying to haggle for this one 200 is good Ho ho ho ho ho - gottem!
10
Awesome! Actually I changed my mind $225 What the hell, how did you go from $230 to $215 to my negotiated price of $200 and then.. back higher to $225?
11
This person did not know how to haggle Unless..
12
He saw through my bluff But either way that counter offer didn't make sense No deal.
13
Alright nevermind OK So I continued looking at other ads and offers and then about an hour later He messages me again You sure $215 isn't good?
14
Wha.. OK at this point I'm thinking he might be getting a little desperate, so I continued to play hard-to-get No OK I'll do $200 if you pick it up today What is going on.. okay... I thought I was definitely dealing with a kid.
15
But hey, we finally agreed on a price.
16
Alright where can I meet you?
17
248 Shimmer Street When can you come?
18
eeh Is 9 ok?
19
A bit earlier maybe 8?
20
OK see you then.
21
OK Do you want to see it working?
22
Yeah sure So i head there later that night and 248 Shimmer street actually has two apartment buildings A and B I texted him and asked which one it is Uh... it should be A should be?
23
SHOULD BE? I don't want to know what your building should be as if it's dependant on unknown factors I need to know your definitive location, so I can safely make this transaction I was getting a bit nervous A part of me thought I was getting get mugged, but then thought this probably is just a kid who is just not responsible enough to know his own address I go inside building A I texted him saying I'm at the ground floor and he replies that he's on his way down 5 minutes past.. nothing After 10 minutes I get a text I don't see you?
24
This dumbass.. I don't see him either meaning he is probably in building B So I head on over and go inside I.. I still don't see him And I'm expecting that kidney extracting shank in my body any second now I'm in building B I don't see you either...
25
no I'm in A W-What?
26
Was I blind? Was he blind?
27
Where are my kidneys.. OK still there.
28
I head back to building A OK I'm here I don't get a reply but after 5 minutes of waiting, he finally appears It's a middle aged man I'm gonna die.
29
Are you Cain with the PS3?
30
Yes yes. We will head upstairs to test it We get to his apartment and he opens the door Inside is a kid setting up the PS3 Cain, hurry up Wha.. huh? I thought you were Cain? But you're also Ca..
31
My-My kidneys Kid-Cain finally set up the PS3, tries to turn it on.. nothing happens He tries again.. still nothing Big Cain, which i assume to be his dad started getting a little irritated I thought you said it worked, what's going on?
32
Dude that's my line The tension was THIC with only one c because that's all that could fit With the amount of tension in the room Kid-Cain shuffles around behind the TV Tries one more time And it finally works Both he and I let out a relieved sigh Honestly at this point, I didn't even care if it worked I just wanted to get out alive In ONE piece I said, cool Kid Cain packs up the ps3 Puts it in a bag And hands it over to me I hand him the 200 dollars that we agreed upon, and hope papa Cain was also aware of and approved His dad takes it from him, counts it, then nods Okay, thank you Yeah you're we- Uh hee um pth uhh tsk- Thanks!

練習技巧
在觀看這個影片時,務必注重模仿影片中的說話速度和語調。影片中使用的口語自然流暢,使其成為提高英語發音的絕佳素材。你可以嘗試shadow speaks,即在影片中每次聽到一段對話後,暫停並模仿說話者的語音和語調。這種方法可以幫助你提高英語口語能力。
在練習時,建議將注意力集中在以下幾點:
- 關注影片中的關鍵詞彙和短語,嘗試記住並在你的日常對話中使用它們。
- 學習者可以反覆播放需要練習的片段,慢慢增加語速,模仿自然的對話模式。
- 如果環境允許,可以和朋友一起練習對話,幫助彼此糾正發音。
- 利用影片中的情緒語調,增強自己的表達能力,讓對話聽起來更加生動。
通過看YouTube學英語,你能夠在輕鬆的氛圍中提高英語口語練習的能力,不斷進步,朝著流利交流的目標邁進。

說話人最常用的結構,並附上影片中的原話:
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | Have gone · has been brought |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的 | being scammed · has been brought |

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
