Hello and welcome to a new video.

Today we'll watch a practical English dialogue between Emma and Tim.

Stay until the end and follow the steps in the video to improve your English listening skills.

Hi Tim, good thing you called.

I tried to reach you this morning too.

Hey Emma, nice to hear your voice.

I was at the swimming pool this morning, so I couldn't pick up.

Tell me, can I ask you something? Of course, what's up?

Do you want to cook again and need another recipe from me?

No, not this time.

But I really do need your help.

Or better, your advice.

All right, go ahead.

Today is my mom's birthday, and I'd like to surprise her.

I'll stop by in the evening, but I still don't have the right present.

I really need your help, because I have no idea what women like.

You've got great taste, always such good ideas.

And, well, you're a woman.

Just because I'm a woman, I'm supposed to know what your mom likes.

But okay, Tim, I'll help you.

Let's think about what you could get her.

So what have you come up with so far?

Uh, Emma, would it be possible for you to come over here to the shopping mall?

Then maybe we'll find something faster.

All right, give me ten minutes.

I'll be right there.

So what ideas have you had for the present?

At first I thought I could maybe get her some perfume.

But you know, last week was my parents' wedding anniversary and my dad already gave her perfume.

So that's off the list.

And she even said, another perfume?

I already have seven different ones.

Oh wow, I hope your dad took that with a sense of humor.

So, we'll have to keep thinking then.

Did you have another idea?

Yes, I actually thought about buying her some jewelry, like a necklace or a ring.

But then, I remembered that my mom already has quite a big jewelry collection.

And she's also very picky about what she likes and doesn't like.

If it's not exactly her taste, it'll definitely just end up in the closet.

Yeah, that really wouldn't make much sense.

How about clothing?

Have you ever thought of giving her a nice dress?

A dress?

Hmm, I don't know.

To be honest, I've never dared to step into the women's section.

I have absolutely no clue what size she wears, and I don't want the hassle of having to exchange it later.

A dress is a great idea.

She loves elegant clothes, and the size won't be a problem.

We can figure that out together.

How can you be so sure about that?

I can't guess her size.

But, alright, you sound like you have a plan.

I always have a plan, Tim.

You know that.

Your mom wears exactly the same size as me.

I know this because once she lent me a dress for a party, and it fit me perfectly.

I have to say, you never stop surprising me.

Look, Tim, this dress fits me really well.

It's not exactly my style, but it might look great on your mom.

That's good, Emma.

But will she like it?

Does she even wear this kind of dress?

What do you think?

I think your mom will look wonderful in it.

The color will suit her for sure, and the style matches her too.

But more important is, are you happy with the choice?

Well, I'll just follow your advice.

If you say it's the right one, then I'll take it.

That was faster than we thought.

This really is a lovely gift.

Do you want to get anything else for your mom?

Well, definitely a birthday cake.

Preferably a nice big chocolate cake with decorations.

Tim, I think you should have taken care of that a little earlier.

I'm not sure we'll still find a good one now.

The bakery's already closed.

Oh no, you're right.

I didn't even think about that.

What am I supposed to do now?

I can't just show up at my mom's without a birthday cake.

I've got an idea.

We can quickly bake a birthday cake ourselves. Are you serious?

You'd really do that?

We, Tim.

Not just me alone.

Come here, Emma.

Let me give you a hug.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

Oh, and I almost forgot to say, of course you're invited to the little party too.

Oh, that's great.

I was already sad thinking I'd have to sit at home alone tonight while you're having fun.

By the way, what do you think of these flowers, Tim?

I'd love to bring them for your mom as well.

Wow, you really do think of everything.

Emma, what's today again?

The 27th.

Why?

Well, my mom's birthday is on the 30th.

How did I even get the idea it was today?

100

You've got to be kidding me.

101

So there's no birthday party tonight?

录下自己的声音并与原声对比，特别注意 perfume, humour, clue 这类单词。

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
