1
This is the final day of the seven day shadowing challenge.
2
If you've been here every day this week, I am so proud of you.
3
You've practiced six real life conversations already,
4
and your mouth has done more English work in seven days than most learners do in a month. So congratulations.
5
Today's conversation is the hardest one of the week.
6
Of course, I saved it for last on purpose.
7
is not what you were supposed to get, you have to call customer service, stay calm, explain what went wrong, and push for a solution without being rude.
8
This requires a very specific kind of language, the kind most English learners never practice because it means asking for things, not just being polite.
9
Here are the words and phrases you need to know first.
10
To raise a complaint.
11
To raise a complaint means to formally tell a company that something went wrong and that you expect it to be fixed.
12
It is more serious than casually mentioning a problem.
13
Next, order number.
14
Your order number is the reference code you receive when you buy something online.
15
Always have it ready before you call customer service.
16
It will be the first thing they ask for.
17
Then, Incorrect item An incorrect item means you received the wrong product.
18
A different color, the wrong size, or something completely different from what you actually ordered.
19
Next, to process a return, and when a company processes a return, they begin the steps to collect the wrong item back and issue a refund or send a replacement.
20
Then, Prepaid Return Label.
21
A Prepaid Return Label is a shipping label the company sends you
22
so you can post the item back without paying for postage yourself.
23
They cover the cost.
24
Next, Replacement.
25
A replacement is a new, correct version of the item the company sends you in place of the wrong or damaged one you received.
26
Then refund.
27
A refund is your money returned to you, usually back to the original card or account you paid with.
28
Next, to escalate.
29
To escalate means to take your complaint to a higher level.
30
You asked to speak to a supervisor or manager when the first person was unable to resolve it.
31
Then, Priority shipping.
32
Priority Shipping is a faster delivery option that gets your package to use sooner than standard shipping usually for an extra fee.
33
And finally, to bear with someone.
34
To bear with someone means to stay patient while they look something up or sort something out.
35
"Bear with me" is a natural, polite way of asking you to wait just a moment.
36
By the way, since this is the final day, I want to tell you about something that pairs really well with the work you've been doing all the week.
37
It's called Turbo English.
38
It's buy two, get one free, on the LinguaTrip handbooks.
39
We built two different sets depending on where you're stuck.
40
The first set is for speaking and vocabulary.
41
It's for you if you have been shadowing with me all week and you want to keep going.
42
It gives you the natural expressions native speakers use in If today's complaint dialogue felt hard,
43
this set is what you need next.
44
And the second set is for grammar.
45
It's for you if you keep getting confused by the same grammar rules over and over, especially the tenses.
46
Present perfect versus past simple, conditionals, all the things that make you hesitate when you speak.
47
The set breaks them down with examples that actually stick.
48
Each set is around $12, less than one private lesson, and because it's buy two, get one free, you're really getting three handbooks for the price of two.
49
is in the description.
50
Okay, now let's get into today's conversation, the last one of our challenge.
51
- Thank you for calling Maple & Co.
52
Customer Service.
53
My name is Ryan.
54
How can I help you today?
55
Hi Ryan, I am calling because I received my order yesterday, but there is a problem with it.
56
I got completely the wrong item.
57
Oh, I am sorry to hear that.
58
I can absolutely help you sort this out.
59
Can I start with your order number?
60
Yes, it is MC -4.
61
49 -28731.
62
Thank you.
63
Bear with me one moment while I pull that up.
64
Okay.
65
I have got your order here.
66
You ordered the gray wool throw blanket, correct?
67
That is right!
68
But what I actually received was a blue cotton one.
69
Different color.
70
Completely different material.
71
I completely understand, and I sincerely apologize for that.
72
That should not have happened.
73
So what I can do is arrange a return of the incorrect item and get the right one sent out to you.
74
Okay.
75
And realistically, how long is all of that going to take?
76
Because I bought this as a birthday gift and the birthday is coming up soon.
77
I understand the time pressure, so the process is normally this: we email you a prepaid return label, at no cost to you.
78
you send the item back.
79
And once we receive it, we process the return within two to three business days.
80
The replacement would then ship and reach you in five to seven business days after that.
81
That might be too slow, honestly.
82
The birthday is 10 days away.
83
Is there anything you can do to speed it up?
84
Let me see what options I have.
85
I can flag your replacement as priority shipping, which would bring the delivery time down to two to three business days after we process the return.
86
I want to be upfront though.
87
I cannot promise an exact date.
88
I appreciate the honesty.
89
Can I ask one more thing?
90
Do I need to wait for you to receive the return before you send the replacement?
91
Or is there any way to send it out now?
92
Given that this was your mistake, not mine, That is a fair point.
93
And I completely understand why you are asking.
94
Normally we do require the return to be initiated first, But given that this was our error, Let me check with my supervisor and see what I can do.
95
Would you mind holding for just a minute?
96
Not at all.
97
Go ahead.
98
Thank you so much for holding.
99
So I spoke with my supervisor, and because this was clearly our mistake, We are going to ship the correct item out to you today with priority shipping.
100
You do not need to wait.
101
You will receive a separate email with a prepaid return label for the Blue Throw
102
and you have 30 days to send it back at your convenience.
103
That is brilliant.
104
I really appreciate you sorting that out.
105
It is absolutely the least we can do.
106
You will get a confirmation email within the hour with a new tracking number.
107
Is there anything else?
108
I can help you with.
109
No, that is everything.
110
Honestly, thank you so much, Ryan.
111
You handled this really well.
112
That means a lot.
113
Thank you.
114
I hope the gift arrives in time and that your friend has a wonderful birthday.
115
Thank you.
116
Fingers crossed.
117
Have a good day.
118
You too.
119
Take care.
120
Goodbye.
121
Bye.
122
Now it is your turn.
123
The conversation will play again, and this time, say the customer's words out loud at the exact same time you hear them.
124
Same pace.
125
Do not wait.
126
Here we go.
127
Thank you for calling Maple & Co.
128

201
Maybe you don't notice it yet, but you will the next time you have to speak English in real life.

American AccentBusiness EnglishDaily ConversationUniversity Students
為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語？
在這段影片中，你將進行一個有趣且具有挑戰性的“英語影子跟讀”練習。通過反覆模模擬實生活中的對話，你的口語能力將得到顯著提高。這種方法的優勢在於，你不僅可以增強發音和流利度，還能真正理解日常對話的語境和用法。參加像這樣的影子說話挑戰，無疑會讓你的英語說得比大多數學習者快得多，也能在短時間內積累豐富的表達方式。看YouTube學英語，將使你在輕鬆愉快中提升語言能力。
語法與表達在語境中的應用
- Raise a complaint：這個短語用於正式提出投訴，強調了在處理問題時的嚴肅性。在與客服交流中，瞭解這類表達能讓你的訴求更加明確。
- Order number：明確指出每次線上購買時，必須準備好訂單號碼，是提高溝通效率的關鍵。服務人員通常需要這個資訊才能迅速幫助你。
- Prepaid Return Label：通過掌握這一表達，能夠清晰說明需要的退貨資訊，避免在溝通過程中產生誤解。
- To escalate：當遇到無法解決的問題時，能夠熟練地表達要求轉接給主管的需求，顯得更加專業，增強了自己在對話中的主動性和控制感。
常見的發音陷阱
在此影片中，一些單詞的發音可能對許多學習者來說比較有挑戰性。例如，“prepaid”和“escalate”的發音容易混淆。要特別注意這些詞的重音和語調變化，以避免在實際對話中發生誤聽或表達不清的情況。練習這些發音時，可以嘗試模仿影片中的發音，以提高自己的準確性。通過提高發音水平，你會在真實場景中更有信心進行交流，進而有效實施“英語影子跟讀”的學習成果。
影片中的語法
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 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成進行時 have/has been + -ing — 以前開始、現在仍在繼續的動作 | you've been doing · have been shadowing |
| 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 | you've been · You've practiced · has done |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | be fixed · be initiated |
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。
