1
If you can understand English when other people speak, but you still need extra time to form your own answer,
2
then don't leave this lesson halfway through.
3
Because today we're going to train the exact skill that helps turn understood English into spoken English.
4
And there's one important change in today's shadowing practice.
5
Many of you have been practicing with me for a long time and your English is becoming stronger.
6
So from now on, we're raising the level.
7
I won't intentionally slow every sentence down anymore.
8
I'll speak at a natural conversational speed, much closer to the English you'll hear in real life.
9
And instead of repeating each conversation sentence twice, from now on, you'll repeat it once.
10
Why?
11
Because at this stage, the goal isn't only to pronounce individual words correctly.
12
The goal is to train yourself to hear a complete thought, process it quickly and say it naturally.
13
That's what happens in real conversations.
14
Nobody repeats their sentence twice for you.
15
And people don't normally speak word by word just because you're learning English.
16
So this new format will challenge your listening, your memory, your pronunciation and your ability to respond at a more natural pace.
17
Don't worry if it feels difficult at first.
18
That difficulty is part of the training.
19
Today's lesson is built around a very relatable situation.
20
Should I move to another city for a better job?
21
You'll hear natural English for making a difficult decision, comparing advantages and disadvantages, talking about fear and uncertainty,
22
asking for advice, discussing money and lifestyle, and deciding whether an opportunity is worth the risk.
23
And this video has two parts.
24
First, you'll listen to the complete conversation.
25
Don't repeat anything yet, just follow the story.
26
Notice how the speakers connect their ideas, how they react to each other, and how they use English to explain complicated thoughts naturally.
27
Stay focused on the meaning rather than trying to translate every word.
28
Then in part two, we'll go through the same conversation again.
29
This time, you'll shadow every sentence once.
30
I'll speak at a natural speed.
31
After each sentence, you'll get a pause to repeat it aloud Try to copy the whole sentence,
32
not just the individual words Focus on the rhythm, sentence stress, connected speech and emotion
33
So challenge yourself to stay until the final sentence The conversation becomes more meaningful as it develops
34
and the final decision will give you several useful expressions you can use when talking about your own life choices.
35
Ready?
36
Let's begin.
37
Part 1.
38
Listen naturally.
39
You sounded unusually serious on the phone.
40
What's going on?
41
I received a job offer this morning and I honestly don't know what to do.
42
That's exciting!
43
Why do you look as though you've received bad news?
44
Because the job is in another city, nearly four hours away.
45
Ah, that makes the decision much more complicated.
46
Exactly.
47
The position is great, but accepting it would change almost everything.
48
Tell me about the job first.
49
Is it something you genuinely want?
50
Yes, the work is more challenging and the salary is considerably better.
51
That sounds like a strong opportunity so far.
52
It does, but I'd have to leave my apartment, friends and familiar routine behind.
53
What's worrying you most?
54
The move itself or starting over somewhere new?
55
Probably starting over.
56
I've finally built a life that feels comfortable here.
57
Comfort is valuable, but sometimes it can also hold us back.
58
I know.
59
That's exactly why I'm taking the offer seriously.
60
Would the new salary make a noticeable difference to your lifestyle?
61
Definitely.
62
I'd earn more and have better opportunities for promotion.
63
Then financially the move seems to make sense On paper,
64
yes But life isn't only about what looks good on paper That's true Have you looked into the cost of living there?
65
A little Rent is higher Although transportation seems much better
66
So Emma tells me you're considering leaving us for a glamorous new life
67
She's making it sound much more exciting than it actually feels Daniel moved cities for work three years ago,
68
so I thought his experience might help I remember being terrified before I moved, even though I wanted the job Did you ever regret it?
69
At first, yes.
70
Everything felt unfamiliar and I missed my old routine That's exactly what I'm afraid of But after a few months,
71
I realized I was adapting much faster than expected What helped you settle in?
72
I made an effort to meet people instead of spending every evening alone.
73
I'm not particularly good at making new friends quickly.
74
Neither was I, but you don't need ten new friends immediately.
75
Sometimes one or two good connections are enough at the beginning.
76
That's reassuring, but what if the job turns out to be disappointing?
77
That's always possible, which is why you should weigh up your options carefully.
78
Could you visit the city before making your final decision?
79
The company actually invited me to spend a day at the office next week.
80
Then go.
81
You'll learn more in one day than from 20 online searches.
82
I suppose I could keep my options open until I've seen everything myself.
83
Exactly.
84
Gathering more information doesn't commit you to anything.
85
And don't make the decision based entirely on fear.
86
I know, but fear can sound surprisingly logical when you're overthinking.
87
That's true.
88
It can convince you that staying comfortable is always safer.
89
What would you choose if fear wasn't part of the decision?
90
Honestly, I'd probably accept the job.
91
You've been unusually quiet since we left the cafe.
92
I've been thinking about the question you asked me.
93
The one about what you choose without fear?
94
Yes, I think I already knew the answer before you asked.
95
Then what's still holding you back?
96
Mostly the uncertainty.
97
There are so many things I can't predict.
98
That's true of almost every major decision.
99
I wish I could know in advance whether I'll be happy there.
100
Unfortunately, life doesn't give us that kind of guarantee.
101
So at some point, I have to take a leap of faith.
102
Exactly.
103
But that doesn't mean making a careless decision.
104
Right.
105
I can research the city, visit the office and plan the move properly.
106
And if the opportunity still feels right after that?
107
Then, maybe it's time to take the plunge.
108
How does saying that out loud make you feel?
109
Nervous, but strangely excited at the same time.
110
That sounds very different from how you felt earlier.
111
I think I've been treating uncertainty as proof that something will go wrong.
112
really, uncertainty just means you don't know the outcome yet.
113
Exactly.
114
And staying here doesn't guarantee that everything will remain perfect either.
115
So what's your next step?
116
I'll visit the company next week and experience the city for myself. And then?
117
If it feels right, I'm going to accept the offer.
118
That sounds like a decision you can actually feel good about.
119
It does.
120
I'm still nervous, but I don't want fear making my decisions for me.
121
That's probably the most important thing you've said all evening.
122
Maybe this opportunity isn't asking me to abandon my life.
123
Maybe it's giving you a chance to expand it.
124
I like that way of looking at it.
125
Part 2.
126
Speak with me.
127
You've now heard the entire conversation at a natural pace.
128
This time, you're going to speak it.
129
And remember our new challenge.
130
From this lesson onward, each sentence is shadowed once.
131
I'll also keep my speaking speed natural rather than intentionally slowing down every line.
132
Your job is to listen to the complete thought, hold it briefly in your mind, and reproduce it as naturally as possible.
133
If you miss one word, don't stop the whole sentence.
134
Keep going.
135
That is an important real-life speaking skill.
136
Try to copy my rhythm and stress rather than giving every word equal emphasis.
137
Ready?
138
Let's begin.
139
You sounded unusually serious on the phone.
140
What's going on?
141
I received a job offer this morning and I honestly don't know what to do.
142
That's exciting.
143
Why do you look as though you've received bad news?
144
Because the job is in another city, nearly four hours away.
145
Ah, that makes the decision much more complicated.
146
Exactly.
147
The position is great, but accepting it would change almost everything.
148
Tell me about the job first.
149
Is it something you genuinely want?
150
Yes, the work is more challenging and the salary is considerably better
151
That sounds like a strong opportunity so far so far.
152
It does, but I'd have to leave my apartment,
153
friends and familiar routine behind.
154
Good.
155
Don't rush the longer sentences.
156
Keep the thought connected.
157
What's worrying you most?
158
The move itself or starting over somewhere new?
159
probably starting over I finally built a life that feels comfortable here
160
Comfort is valuable, but sometimes it can also hold us back.
161
I know that's exactly why I'm taking the offer seriously.
162
Would the new salary make a noticeable difference to your lifestyle?
163
Definitely.
164
I'd earn more and have better opportunities for promotion.
165
Then, financially, the move seems to make sense.
166
On paper, yes, but life isn't only about what looks good on paper.
167
That's true.
168
Have you looked into the cost of living there?
169
A little.
170
Rent is higher, although transportation seems much better.
171
Excellent.
172
Now let your voice sound more conversational and less like reading.
173
So, Emma tells me, you're considering leaving us for a glamorous new life.
174
She's making it sound much more exciting than it actually feels Daniel moved cities for work three years ago,
175
so I thought his experience might help I remember being terrified before I moved,
176
even though I wanted the job.
177
Did you ever regret it? At first, yes.
178
Everything felt unfamiliar and I missed my old routine.
179
That's exactly what I'm afraid of.
180
But after a few months, I realised I was adapting much faster than expected.
181

182
I made an effort to meet people, instead of spending every evening alone.
183
I'm not particularly good at making new friends quickly.
184
Neither was I, but you don't need ten new friends immediately.
185
Sometimes one or two good connections are enough at the beginning.
186
That's reassuring, but what if the job turns out to be disappointing?
187
That's always possible, which is why you should weigh up your options carefully.
188
Very good.
189
Stay with the meaning and let the words flow together.
190
Could you visit the city before making your final decision?
191
The company actually invited me to spend a day at the office next week.
192
go.
193
You'll learn more in one day than from 20 online searches.
194
I suppose I could keep my options open until I've seen everything myself.
195

196

199

200

201
What would you choose if fear wasn't part of the decision?
202
Honestly, I'd probably accept the job.
203
Excellent.
204
Final scene.
205
Speak with confidence and emotion now.
206
You've been unusually quiet since we left the cafe.
207
I've been thinking about the question you asked me.
208
The one about what you'd choose without fear.
209
Yes, I think I already knew the answer before you asked.
210
Then what's still holding you back?
211

212

213

214

215
Unfortunately, life doesn't give us that kind of guarantee.
216
So at some point, I have to take a leap of faith take a leap of faith.
217
Exactly.
218
But that doesn't mean making a careless decision.
219
Right.
220
I can research the city, visit the office and plan the move properly.
221
And if the opportunity still feels right after that?
222
Then maybe it's time to take the plunge.
223
How does saying that out loud make you feel?
224
Nervous, but strangely excited at the same time.
225
That sounds very different from how you felt earlier.
226
I think I've been treating uncertainty as proof that something will go wrong.
227
When really, uncertainty just means you don't know the outcome yet.
228
Exactly.
229
And staying here doesn't guarantee that everything will remain perfect either.
230
So what's your next step?
231
I'll visit the company next week and experience the city for myself.
232
If it feels right, I'm going to accept the offer.
233
That sounds like a decision you can actually feel good about.
234
It does.
235
I'm still nervous, but I don't want fear making my decisions for me.
236
That's probably the most important thing you've said all evening.
237
Maybe this opportunity isn't asking me to abandon my life.
238
it's giving you a chance to expand it.
239
I like that way of looking at it.
240
Outstanding work.
241
And if today's shadowing felt more challenging than usual, that's exactly what I wanted.
242
moving beyond slow, carefully separated English.
243
You're training yourself to understand and produce English at the pace people actually use in conversations.
244
Today, you practiced how to talk about uncertainty,
245
compare different options, express fear without sounding helpless,
246
give thoughtful advice, explain the reasons behind a decision,
247
and talk about opportunities in a mature, natural way.
248
But the most important thing you practiced wasn't one particular expression,
249
it was processing complete English sentences at natural speed.
250
If you couldn't repeat every line perfectly today, that's completely normal.
251
Don't measure your progress by whether you made zero mistakes.
252
Measure it by whether your second or third practice feels easier than your first.
253
Come back to this lesson again.
254
Listen to part one naturally, then shadow part two again without slowing the video down.
255
Over time, the sentences that feel fast today will begin to feel normal, and that's exactly what we want.
256
Before you leave, answer today's question in the comments.
257
Would you move to another city for a better opportunity?
258
Why or why not?
259
Try to write four or five complete sentences.
260
And if you completed the natural speed shadowing practice, write, I'm ready to speak English at a natural pace.
261

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。
