跟读练习: Living Alone Vlog | missing nyc, finishing up renovations, laser tattoo removal, packing for china - 通过视频学习英语口语

They have officially finished.

Loki crashing out.

Oh my god.

I miss being in like a crowded place where there's a lot of people.

I've never sweated before.

This bedroom is beautiful.

This is my mom's t-shirt.

This is literally the definition of living alone.

Hi guys, welcome back to my channel.

This will probably be the last vlog you're gonna see before we go to China.

Today is a Sunday.

I'm gonna be heading back to Boston on Friday, I believe.

I have so much shit to tell you guys.

So basically remember with the carpenter we agreed on like a certain amount of like stuff that we wanted to do, right?

So basically what happened, oh my god, I was so pissed.

I literally was about to pull out the camera and tell you guys everything but then I was like, hold on, I need to like calm the fuck down before I lash out.

So basically the carpenter guy was really nice But then we settled on a number, okay?

We were going to do like the molding for this bathroom, foyer, my master bedroom, and also the living room, okay?

Literally, this was on like Friday.

So today's Sunday.

This was like two days ago.

And he was like, actually, I think I miscalculated the living room cost.

And I was like, okay.

The way he was talking about it, it kind of seemed like he was going to be like, just accept it, you know?

And I was like, hold up.

Like, this is actually crazy.

Like, I was so upset.

You can't be changing the number after we have started the process.

We haven't started a living room.

So I was like, we need to pause on the living room and let's just finish everything else.

And then like we came up with a number.

It wasn't too crazy for like the rest of it.

I was literally just like, you're doing my whole house.

I should get like a discount for this.

And I think he gave me a discount, but the discount was too crazy.

So literally now I'm just kind of like wondering if I still want him to do my living room now, but he does a good job.

His pricing is not crazy, but I'm like, babe, you cannot be changing the fucking price halfway, bud.

Because like, what if you fucking finish my living room and then you fucking like double the price?

I'm like, okay, well, what the fuck am I going to do now?

But I was so mad because the thing was that I was so excited for him to do like my house.

I was like, okay, we have living room shit figured out.

Like you could just tell my mood was better.

And then he pulled this on me.

I'm like, so yeah, tomorrow's Monday.

He's going to come in and, and I'm going to be leaving on Friday.

Cause originally I was like down for him to like be here to finish stuff.

But after that conversation, now I don't trust you.

I don't trust you.

So like literally when I leave, I'm not letting anyone in the house.

You changed the price on me.

I'm not okay with that low-key kind of fucking upset yeah

so i guess like when i come back the living room would not be done

and i'm just giving him the benefit of the doubt

because i'm like he's older like maybe he did mess up the price

and everything maybe he just wants to get more money like you know

and i don't blame you

but still like you can't be doing this like we agreed on the price anyway i just need to get

that out of my system because that's like the most up-to-date to my current renovation process

and i'm actually so mad but it's better now

because it's been two days anyways so currently it's sunday night i did some filming

which is why you can see it at the full b

i just filmed actually a full makeup tutorial for you guys i'm gonna upload onto youtube i'm excited

but yeah anyways

so we're gonna start off the vlog with getting dinner my parents are currently making dinner right now

and i'm gonna go check on them

and see what we have in store i'm making a sauce

here we have some peanuts right here as well we're just gonna make some noodles seafood noodles we have scallops

and we have shrimps my dad was really intrigued with this thing it's like a projector

and i bought it and they apparently tried it out and they didn't like it.

Okay, so apparently it was supposed to like, the fish was supposed to move, but they put it on.

They were like, it's just a still image, so.

The weather recently has just been looking like it's gloomy.

I am excited to go back to Boston.

So, and I booked my mom and I a nail appointment.

My mom, literally, I have to beg her to go get her nails done.

I don't know if it's like an immigrant parent type of thing.

Like, it is definitely an immigrant parent type of thing.

She hates treating herself.

And I'm like, mom, I booked the appointment.

You have to come with me.

So, literally the last time we got her nails done was for my sister's graduation, which was like a few months ago.

So literally she hasn't touched her nails in two months.

I'm like, mom, we have to get these removed so you can get new ones.

Literally had to beg her to get Russian Manny with me.

So we're going to get her new set.

I recommend her chrome because I think chrome is just so beautiful.

Yesterday we did get some pedicure.

It looked so good.

I'm not going to show you her feet because some people will be weird.

If worse comes to worse, I'll probably leave on the 8th because I booked our nail appointment on the 8th.

The carpenters don't work on Saturday and Sunday.

Hopefully, I don't know how much they finish okay i'll show you guys how much we have done

and what they need to do

so mind you this is five days worth of like progress

so they did like the chair rail the panels we returned like a bunch of stuff

and we did the chair rail around here you can see

currently they're working on these this like pole you see the one in the front is more done than these

so they need to finish this up this is what we're currently working with

100

and what they need to add is like

101

that top panel right there they need to do it to

102

this part to this part as well they added to chair rail

103

and everything here this is literally like five days worth of progress see they are moving kind of slow

104

but it gets this more detailed work

105

and we have five more days i don't know how much

106

they can get done what we have agreed upon is

107

that they're gonna knock down this section

108

and make this into like a knee wall

109

so basically you can see through it

110

and they're gonna do some crown molding as well lastly most

111

importantly is my freaking room we are just gonna do chair rail

112

and panels on top all around

113

and then also my bathroom five days is a lot

114

but also five days isn't you guys will see by the

115

end end of this vlog how much they get done i

116

just hope we get everything done before i leave also it

117

is currently six right now i think i woke up today late 10

118

and i'll just filming filming kind of like batch filming before

119

i leave for china i mean of course like i'll be vlogging in china

120

but just in case like the internet doesn't work you guys

121

would still have vlogs you know i just kind of want to make sure with

122

that that's usually how i prep for things before i leave for traveling

123

but but also I'm just gonna show you guys how I've removed my makeup.

124

You guys saw me use this.

125

Oh my god.

126

Oh my god.

127

Oh my goodness.

128

I'm just gonna put a little headband.

129

I'm gonna take off my earrings.

130

I like using this.

131

This is the Regeron Pore Tightening Cleansing Balm.

132

From now on, I'll try my best to mention all the products I have

133

in the description box in case you guys want to check it out.

134

I really like this because you can see that it's just extremely hygienic.

135

I like using a cleansing balm or a cleansing balm, and it just removes everything on your face.

136

Usually before this step, I take off my contacts because if you have the oil in contact with your contacts, it's harder for you to get the contacts out.

137

If you know, you know.

138

But since I'm filming for y'all, if I take off my contacts, I can't see.

139

No, no, no. I'm scared to eat tinfish, y'all.

140

I'm really scared.

141

I'm actually really sad for my China trip.

142

I'm going to be doing that.

143

We will be in touch with nature.

144

Okay, I'm going to take off my contacts.

145

Because originally we're going to go to Shanghai, but my dad, he doesn't like going to the city.

146

And I've already been to Shanghai a lot, but you know what?

147

You know it will be fun.

148

And I hope it will not be disappointing.

149

And then we're gonna travel around that area.

150

I'm gonna use my key blue one.

151

This is a very good phone cleanser.

152

If any guys are sensitive skin.

153

So first we're gonna go to Tianjin to visit my grandpa.

154

And then afterwards we're gonna go to Yunnan.

155

And now I'm gonna hop in the shower.

156

Oh my God, do I have a towel?

157

Oh my God, I don't have a towel.

158

I just finished showering and I literally think this is my mom's t-shirt.

159

I think dinner is time.

160

Let's go.

161

Noodles are done.

162

We have bean sprout, edamame, cucumber, tomato, scallop shrimp.

163

The sauce consists of tomato.

164

Hi.

165

Can you please take a new moment right here?

166

Can you have a little bag?

167

Yes, please.

168

Please.

169

Me too.

170

Hi.

171

We're back in the city because I'm going to do my laser removal

172

and for those who don't know i go to promovery

173

and actually i don't even think i need to come to manhattan

174

because i feel like they have multiple different locations

175

and i completely forgot about that today i'm going to the spy die location

176

which i usually don't go to

177

because i remember the last time i went there it hurt i don't know

178

if the setting was just stronger also i picked up some

179

items from sephora there's just been a lot of like good summer launches i've been wanting to try i'm actually

180

so nervous y'all like i'm actually kind of scared because lately it's It's just been hurting more.

181

I miss being in like a crowded place where there's a lot of people.

182

I do miss walking in the city.

183

Give me like a week and I'm gonna get tired of it.

184

You know what I'm gonna do?

185

I'm actually gonna go grab myself a matcha.

186

I just wondered did I take New York for granted while I lived here?

187

I don't know.

188

Maybe I did.

189

Maybe I didn't.

190

I think it's a good balance.

191

I can just come here when I want to.

192

Because usually, like, if this was, like, two months ago, I was living in my New York apartment i would have

193

dreaded coming here like i would have just been upset

194

when have you ever seen me this happy when i lived in new york we're gonna go in there

195

thank you good how are you uh via via i'm a

196

little nervous this is how much it has faded you can see

197

that it's like getting there i've been doing this for two years

198

that like it the pain is not fun but I tell myself that's only gonna be for like a minute, so it's gonna be fine.

199

I won't die, so that's fine.

200

The little dragon. And...

201

I've never sweated before, and I literally, I think it took like two breaks.

202

Trigger warning if you're scared of blood.

203

This is what she looks like right now.

204

Do you see that?

205

It's not horribly red right now, but later it's going to start bleeding.

206

It took a long time.

207

Because I've been doing this for so long, they've been upping the strength.

208

So now I'm just ice packing.

209

My dad is actually waiting for me outside.

210

I think we're good.

211

Okay.

212

I'm going to take care of everybody.

213

I'm glad.

214

Thank you.

215

Okay, I wanted to try this matcha place called Matcha 108.

216

Never been, and it's kind of close to the removerry spot.

217

So it was like a 15-minute walk.

218

I can feel my tattoo.

219

You see?

220

It's so red right now.

221

It's so red.

222

It's bleeding just a little bit, and like sweat.

223

Hitting me is just not the vibe.

224

I think the place is like super close to like a clothing shop, but I did not miss the traffic.

225

I have one.

226

I'm going to go.

227

Oh my god, my dad.

228

My dad just stopped to talk to me of

229

that guy hocked him in fact my dad said he crashed his car i don't think there's anything

230

my dad's mood ever since he comes into the city is

231

just like significantly worse all right guys we're here i took a

232

while to find the spot but now we're in so let's go I

233

Ordered to I ordered regular Uji mashalate with almond milk sweetened

234

and I ordered a banana one I think this is the regular one.

235

It looked really green when I went in there I felt

236

so bad because like I had the camera on

237

and they were like if you're gonna film don't get our faces It just felt so bad.

238

I just didn't record at all

239

So that's why you didn't see like the process of making it

240

but they were just like whisking the latte and everything It's a nice color so Oh yeah,

241

that's pretty fucking good.

242

I think like in there they only use oat milk as well.

243

They don't use any milk I think.

244

And this one's the banana one.

245

I thought there was gonna be some crumbs but there's no crumbs.

246

Wow, both of these are pretty good i think they use

247

like the banana milk this is pretty good go check out macho 108 it's pretty fucking good

248

so my dad he really wanted this thing okay

249

but apparently this one is only static images

250

so we're gonna return it at whole foods

251

so let's go we need to do some grocery shopping today

252

also my laser is feeling a lot better now it doesn't hurt as much

253

oh do you have the that's for this one thank you

254

let's do some grocery shopping usually we come to holfus just to get the water

255

because the water still tastes a little weird even after i filter it

256

so yeah i don't know why anyways i just called my mom

257

and she wanted to get spinach no not spinach kale i put her on kale she usually doesn't like kale

258

but Now she likes it.

259

We're gonna get baby.

260

This is like the only milk I get.

261

I always get this one.

262

I lied, we're getting this one.

263

Next for eggs, I always get this one.

264

I get the Pete and Gary's organic eggs.

265

Actually, no, we're gonna get this one.

266

So we're gonna get one of these.

267

Always check if they're cracked because you never know.

268

So double check.

269

They're not cracked.

270

Literally my favorite, favorite coconut milk brand.

271

And there's only fucking one left.

272

Literally the best.

273

You guys need to get this.

274

This is literally so good.

275

They don't have any like, oh my God, why is it not focusing?

276

They don't have any like crazy stuff in there.

277

So we're going to get this.

278

Let's get this.

279

I had two matcha today and literally I can feel my heart beating

280

so fast but my mind's moving so fast right now

281

which is also like a pro i guess

282

but my dad's looking for this thing called star anise i don't know what

283

that is i don't think they sell that here i think they probably sell that at like chinese grocery stores

284

This is everything we have and next we're gonna go check out now and we're gonna go home.

285

Do we have a gallon of water?

286

You might also.

287

Just hold it up there.

288

Let's get here.

289

These are ceiling tiles.

290

They're a little crock, though.

291

Okay, guys.

292

This is on Tuesday.

293

They just finished and they started working on my room let's take a look at my room

294

and you can see that they did the chair rail

295

and everything i don't know if you can see the pencil mark

296

but they're going to put some more panels on top maybe some on the side

297

but some of the walls they mentioned like maybe

298

that one he mentioned not going to add a panel

299

because it just looks too heavy but the thing

300

that was really bad about it was

301

that this guy literally tried to change the price on me again

302

and i was like this is crazy like you guys saw how much i crashed out on friday

303

when he changed the price on me

304

so this time just like bud like i can i can

305

let you make a mistake once you know changed up the price

306

but for a second time like babe like you need to

307

honor your price like this is just such poor practice low-key

308

crashing out we're gonna see how it goes hopefully by friday everything's settled time time

309

I think the reason why it made me so upset was because, well, first of all, this is my first time doing carpenter work.

310

I'm going to grab an apple.

311

Hold on.

312

I'm going to go grab an apple.

313

Be right back.

314

I grabbed another apple well first of all it definitely gave

315

me a lot more experience with like negotiating things got me

316

so heated like i literally paid him about 80 i didn't

317

even give him like the rest of the 20 first of all it's a bad decision

318

but the thing was that this the scope of the work was a lot larger originally technically

319

that was originally 50 but because we decreased the scope of the work

320

because he changed the price on me

321

so we took out the living room from the scope of the work

322

but my dad he was literally like

323

when it comes to this type of shit you can't just

324

back out you know you just have to talk about it

325

and he saw how upset i got and he like figured everything out

326

but yeah i'm just ranting guys like i'm just happy to be able to talk to you guys about this

327

because like literally the shit

328

but consuming me since last friday i just haven't been feeling good

329

because i don't like to be in the unknown especially

330

when it comes to pricing y'all like do you understand how

331

scary it is first time doing this shit i just think

332

that sometimes like the outcome may be okay at the end

333

but some the experience itself makes it bad

334

that you just don't even want to experience it that

335

because like for me i just like working with the same people you know especially

336

if you do a good job i guess it also shows

337

more about me i guess i guess i don't do well

338

in the unknown You know in life you just gain more

339

and more experience the older you get You're going to find life to be easier

340

because the experience you gain when you were younger They're gonna finish everything on Thursday

341

and Friday and hopefully everything will be okay The craziest thing was

342

that he asked me about the living room and I was like to be fair I'm obviously still thinking about it, but right now at this moment I guess for me actually

343

things to be like very straight out He was ready to

344

finish the project without even discussing depression Literally today we have

345

two days left I was like literally you need to pause on everything

346

and give me an exact price because i literally cannot pay you

347

if you don't like you don't you're not sticking to like

348

the price we have anyways hopefully that's all figured out anyways the weather today is

349

so good it was like pouring but

350

that was like really nice like the sun is out

351

and the clouds are out do you see the clouds isn't

352

it beautiful you know what it was crazy i posted a vlog today on youtube

353

and i was actually i just had to look back at

354

some of my older vlogs i scroll back to my first

355

vlog on youtube it was a boston vlog i was like

356

watching a vlog it was like literally i was hanging out with cc

357

and yeah she's been there literally the moment i started youtube

358

which was honestly so crazy she's like the only friend i had back in like

359

when i went to school at tufts and like

360

that was the first time i have ever felt

361

so uncertain in my life it was all encapsulated in

362

that first vlog because like i was graduating

363

and had no idea what i wanted to do with my life

364

and i'm like right now i still feel the same like

365

i'm feeling very lost it's kind of comforting in a way to see

366

that i was experiencing the same sort of emotions i was three years ago I turned out okay, you know, I turned out fine and I moved beyond that

367

because sometimes when you deal with like bad emotions You you kind of forget that it's like all temporary.

368

It is not that crazy I don't know like in the moment.

369

It feels like it's very very very bad Like you're never

370

gonna get past this the truth is you're always gonna get past it

371

And it makes me curious like what's gonna happen three years from now, you know I've always wanted to be a person

372

that my younger self will be proud of

373

and I want to live a life where we'll be proud of I've been losing sight of my younger self

374

and I feel like i'm living more for my present self

375

it feels like i'm living more for future me you know

376

when i started this channel i was very much just like

377

i was like i have to do this for the younger me i have to do things

378

so the younger me will be proud of me

379

and nowadays i think especially this year

380

or the end of last year it was more like i need to live for future me as well

381

so future me would have like just be proud of me

382

and everything which is a very interesting concept but i think

383

that at the end of the day like all we have

384

is the present like i live for the past me i live for the future me

385

but what about present you know i need to think about

386

that okay this is one quote it felt like it was giving like

387

if you constantly focus on the past it gives you depression

388

when you focus on the future gives you anxiety you just

389

have to focus on right now i'm like that's a very

390

what's it called like in some way it makes sense

391

but it was a very simplified ways to like word things

392

but at the same time i'm like i kind of agree with it like that's kind of true

393

when i think about it right i think that's something i'm

394

still trying to work on today this is thursday as you guys can see they finished the foyer

395

and i just want to show you guys the progress

396

so far so this we already know

397

and next what we have is the bedroom they made a

398

lot of progress on the bedroom today do you see this i just feel like the bedroom now looks

399

so much more different like do you remember what it looked like before it was giving like blank wall

400

and if you look on top literally do you see

401

that do you see like the top where it's like just

402

so much like the detail that they had around my circular window i just think it's so beautiful.

403

Anyways, so now Friday is the last day, you guys know, because I need to leave on Friday.

404

So tomorrow's the last day and they're currently working on like the chair rails in my bathroom.

405

This is the chair rail right now.

406

This is what it looks like.

407

You can see like they have like the outlines for where the panels are going to be at.

408

Sorry for that random pile of clothes right there, but this is what it looks like.

409

So far, everything is coming together very, very well, but I just wanted to give you guys a little check-in, but this bedroom is beautiful.

410

Literally, this is exactly how i pictured my bedroom to look like with the molding i'm just

411

so happy this is what she looks like anyways hopefully everything

412

will be completed by tomorrow i'll check in with you guys happy friday they have finished everything this looks amazing

413

and don't mind the suitcase i am currently packing for china i literally had no idea what is in here

414

and the bathroom is something exciting i want to show y'all okay you can see

415

that they have done the chair reel and the panels

416

and it truly just makes such a big difference

417

but y'all last night was it called the walton's file i

418

think it's a walton's file basically it's like i don't know

419

it was created by the same company for five nights at freddy's

420

but literally i couldn't look away and apparently

421

that game has been happening for a

while it's not even a game it's like a movie i think i was

423

so deep in the lore

424

425

426

I just kind of looked away.

427

428

So my parents are going to drive me back to Boston.

429

So this is going to be my first time flying with Hainan Airlines

430

because originally we were supposed to leave at like 6.40 p.m

431

and then they just changed it today where my dad found out that they moved it to 11.55 p.m.

432

And I'm like, I don't know what the fuck they're doing that because I'm now kind of scared.

433

I'm like, what if we get to the airport and then they move it again?

434

So hopefully the airline will be fine i don't usually make airport vlogs for my youtube

435

because they're just so short but stay tuned on my tiktok

436

or instagram where i'll update you guys on

437

446

447

And now my robot is literally just working overtime to clean up the entire place right now.

448

Oh, okay.

449

Okay, that's cool.

450

Also, literally, my brows.

451

My brows are intact.

452

I just filmed like a water test where my dad literally poured me fucking water over my face.

453

But thank God to the L'Oreal Paris brow brows did not come off no babe brows stayed on

454

455

457

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。
