Hey, I haven't seen you in a while.

Where were you?

I went to South Korea to join an exchange student program.

You went to South Korea?

Yeah, I applied for the program at the scholarship office of our university,

and I got accepted.

What were you studying?

Korean language.

Where did you stay?

I stayed at Seoul National University on the campus.

At like dorms or something?

Yeah.

Wow.

Were they nice?

Very nice.

Better than ours.

How long were you there?

I was there for 10 months.

That's a really long time.

Yeah.

Did you get homesick?

A little.

What are the South Korean people like?

Typically, they will avoid talking to foreigners.

But if you need help,

they are very nice and would go out of their way to help you.

Appearance means everything in Korea.

Your hairstyle, dress sense, the shoes that you're wearing.

They love to look trendy.

They are incredibly respectful to their elders.

If there's even a one-year difference in age,

they'll make sure that the elder is respected properly.

Really?

That's so interesting.

What did you do there other than studying?

I visited a lot of attractions like palaces,

museums, parks, markets, and temples.

Seoul is unlike any other city that I have visited.

Did you have any difficulties getting around?

Not at all.

The public transportation in Seoul is excellent.

What did you think of the food?

The food was good to begin with.

It has its own kind of spices.

They use pepper paste and pepper vinegar in a lot of their foods.

They eat a lot of seafood,

like squid, octopus, shrimp, and crab.

And rice, I suppose, right?

Yes, of course, rice too.

I particularly liked a dish of vegetables,

egg, and noodles mixed together.

I also have a traditional side dish of salted and fermented vegetables called kimchi,

which is served at nearly every meal.

Food was very, very cheap,

and clothing was cheap on the outskirts of the city where the university was.

Cool.

What was the highlight of your trip?

The best part of my trip was probably the cruise along the Han River,

when I got to see all the great buildings at night.

It was very beautiful.

The night view was unbelievable and I was able to have dinner while admiring the view of the Han River.

I could also enjoy a live musical band on board which was lovely.

It was one of the unforgettable experiences I had in Korea.

Wow!

Did you have any problems during your stay there?

No, I didn't have any problems.

I thought all the people were very nice and I really had a good time.

Can you speak Korean now?

Yes.

I picked up a lot of words and phrases.

I enjoyed being abroad for 10 months.

It was a nice experience to get out and live somewhere else.

How's your son, Nicole?

He's 25 now, right?

That's right.

He's 25.

Well, he's a firefighter now.

Does he still live with you and your husband?

Yes, he does.

He says he can't afford to rent an apartment Because it's too expensive And he doesn't earn enough money

He gives us some money every month for bills And,

you know, it's nice to have him at home

But we'd like him to be more independent He told us a few days ago

That he's planning a two-week vacation to Canada with his friends I mean,

it's true that he works full-time And we know he needs a break

But we think he should save his money so that he can get his own place to live.

Should we talk him out of going to Canada?

You know, to be honest,

I think you're being a bit hard on him.

I mean, he's only 25.

It's good that he has a job and everybody needs a vacation.

My advice is that you should let him go to Canada.

And when he comes back,

you should sit down with him and talk to him about starting to pay rent.

That way he'll understand that he needs to start planning for the future,

and to start thinking about renting an apartment.

There are a lot of young people still living at home in their 20s and 30s.

And some of them don't even have jobs.

So in many ways, I think you're lucky.

100

Yeah, you make a point.

101

I've got a problem, Maria,

102

and I need your advice.

103

Sure.

104

What's your problem?

105

Well, a month ago, my friend Claudia and I decided to go on vacation together to Los Angeles.

106

So we play everything, and I was really looking forward to it.

107

As Claudia is an old friend,

108

and I don't see her very often.

109

But the other day, she told me that she invited another friend of hers.

110

Somebody I don't know.

111

A girl called Phoebe to come with us.

112

Claudia never asked me what I thought.

113

I don't even know Phoebe,

114

and I really don't want to go on vacation with someone I don't know.

115

What should I do?

116

I think it was kind of thoughtless of her to invite Phoebe without telling you,

117

and she's put you in a difficult position.

118

You have several different options.

119

You could say that you aren't going if Phoebe goes

120

or you could just cancel

121

and suggest having another vacation later with just the two of you

122

or you could invite someone else who you like

123

and then there would be four of you

124

but in fact you might like Phoebe maybe she's a nice person

125

so I think you should try to get to know her first

126

if you like her then the vacation will probably be a success

127

if not then And you should tell your friend you aren't going because you don't think it'll work with Phoebe.

128

Okay, I'll give it a shot.

129

I'm trying to get acquainted with Phoebe first and see if we can get along.

130

Thanks for the advice.

131

What kind of jobs have you had so far, Mike?

132

Um, well, the first job that I can remember was in high school.

133

I had a part-time job working at a fast food restaurant.

134

Really?

135

Yeah.

136

I started out as a cashier and mostly on the weekends.

137

And after a couple of years,

138

I got to be manager.

139

So all the way through university, I worked there.

140

Did you like it?

141

Yes.

142

A lot of my friends were working there,

143

so that made it a lot of fun.

144

But when I graduated from university,

145

I really wanted to get a job in my field,

146

so I got a job as an economist after that.

147

An economist?

148

Yeah.

149

I worked as an economist for a little over two years,

150

and I didn't really like that job.

151

It was so boring.

152

On top of that, I didn't get along with my boss.

153

He was always asking me to work overtime.

154

I didn't really like the atmosphere there, so I quit.

155

What did you do after that?

156

After that, I wasn't sure what to do.

157

I went back to Phoenix and stayed with my parents for a while.

158

Then I got a quick job at a grocery store.

159

I only got the job because I was broke and needed a little dough to live on before moving on.

160

I thought it was hilarious that this grocery store maybe go through some lengthy training

161

and orientation so I could stock dairy and do super basic customer service.

162

Was it full-time?

163

Yeah, it was full-time.

164

In the meantime, I went back to university and I got my master's degree in English.

165

Wow, that's great.

166

So you became an English teacher?

167

Yes.

168

I read in a magazine about a job teaching English overseas in Thailand.

169

So I applied for that job, and I got it.

170

Wow, Thailand?

171

Did you like that job?

172

Um, yeah.

173

That was a very interesting job.

174

I mean, it was my first time overseas,

175

and it was my first time teaching.

176

So I really enjoyed it,

177

and I liked the students a lot.

178

But I just had a one-year contract,

179

and certain aspects of living in Thailand were difficult.

180

So after my contract was finished,

181

I came back to the US and continued to teach English here.

182

I needed to try and fail to figure out what I'm good at and what I like.

183

The more experiences I was exposed to, the more I learned.

184

Sam, have you heard Ron might be fired soon?

185

No, I had no idea.

186

I wonder what happened.

187

Have you ever worked with him?

188

Yes, I worked with him last year and I've heard stories about him for years.

189

I've never worked with him directly,

190

but I know people that have,

191

and they say he was always shouting and screaming, threatening to fire people.

192

And Martha told me he took credit for one of her ideas.

193

She had this idea for a project,

194

and she brought it up at a meeting, and he liked it.

195

He made her do all the work planning it.

196

when the project actually got started,

197

Martha was left out of it,

198

and her name was not mentioned anywhere.

199

I heard the project won an award because it was brilliant.

200

That's right.

201

Martha saw red when she heard about the award because she didn't get the credit she deserved.

202

But she couldn't do anything.

203

Her hands were tied.

204

Yeah, Ron would have fired her if she had dared to report him.

205

It must be a really bad feeling to have your ideas stolen.

206

How did you find working with him?

207

It was a nightmare because he was very tough.

208

Nobody dared to contradict him for fear they might lose their job.

209

People were genuinely afraid of him.

210

I heard many people had a hard time working with him.

211

Were you on good terms with him?

212

Yes, I did my best to stay in his good books because I needed this job.

213

And I was lucky I didn't have that much contact with him myself.

214

They're doing a full investigation,

215

so I suppose a lot of these stories are going to come to light.

216

I hope so.

217

I really hope he's not coming back.

FOR YOU

為什麼通過這個影片練習口語？

在這段影片中，我們可以看到一個普通的日常對話，涉及留學經驗和與外國人交流的文化差異。這樣的對話不僅能夠幫助學習者在與他人交流時更加自信，更能使他們在實際語境中掌握日常英語口語。通過模仿影片中角色的對話方式，學習者可以有效提高自己的語言流利度和自信心。這種方法被稱為shadowspeak，能夠讓你在進行英語口語練習時，真正理解並運用你所學到的內容。

語法與表達在語境中的運用

在影片對話中，使用了幾個關鍵的句子結構和表達方式，幫助學習者理解如何在真實場景中運用英語。例如：

Where were you? - 這個句子簡單直接，適合在日常對話中使用，詢問別人近況。
How long were you there? - 詢問時間的表達非常適合在談論經歷時使用，能夠促進更多的交流。
They are very nice and would go out of their way to help you. - 這種複雜句型展示了對他人幫助的描述，有助於擴充套件學習者的表達能力。

通過模仿這些表達，學習者可以在看YouTube學英語的過程中，增強自己的口語能力。

常見發音陷阱

在觀看影片時，學習者可能會遇到一些發音方面的挑戰。例如，“accepted” 這個單詞的發音可能不容易掌握，特別是在快速對話中。此外，韓國食物的相關名詞，如“squid”（魷魚）和“octopus”（章魚），在使用時要注意清晰度，避免模糊不清的發音。學習者可以通過重複這些詞彙並進行英語口語練習來克服這些發音障礙。

總之，通過這種生動的交流方式，能夠讓學習者在實際環境中感受到語言的魅力。同時，利用shadowspeaks的技巧，可以幫助每個學習者在日常對話中更加自如地表達自己。

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
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	is respected · is served · was exposed
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	haven't seen · have visited · Have you ever worked

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。
