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

为什么通过这个视频练习口语？

在这段视频中，我们可以看到一个普通的日常对话，涉及留学经验和与外国人交流的文化差异。这样的对话不仅能够帮助学习者在与他人交流时更加自信，更能使他们在实际语境中掌握日常英语口语。通过模仿视频中角色的对话方式，学习者可以有效提高自己的语言流利度和自信心。这种方法被称为shadowspeak，能够让你在进行英语口语练习时，真正理解并运用你所学到的内容。

语法与表达在语境中的运用

在视频对话中，使用了几个关键的句子结构和表达方式，帮助学习者理解如何在真实场景中运用英语。例如：

Where were you? - 这个句子简单直接，适合在日常对话中使用，询问别人近况。
How long were you there? - 询问时间的表达非常适合在谈论经历时使用，能够促进更多的交流。
They are very nice and would go out of their way to help you. - 这种复杂句型展示了对他人帮助的描述，有助于扩展学习者的表达能力。

通过模仿这些表达，学习者可以在看YouTube学英语的过程中，增强自己的口语能力。

常见发音陷阱

在观看视频时，学习者可能会遇到一些发音方面的挑战。例如，“accepted” 这个单词的发音可能不容易掌握，特别是在快速对话中。此外，韩国食物的相关名词，如“squid”（鱿鱼）和“octopus”（章鱼），在使用时要注意清晰度，避免模糊不清的发音。学习者可以通过重复这些词汇并进行英语口语练习来克服这些发音障碍。

总之，通过这种生动的交流方式，能够让学习者在实际环境中感受到语言的魅力。同时，利用shadowspeaks的技巧，可以帮助每个学习者在日常对话中更加自如地表达自己。

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：

结构	视频中的用法
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的	is respected · is served · was exposed
现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事	haven't seen · have visited · Have you ever worked
定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物	board which was · people that have

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。
