Dialogue Shadowing Practice
THIS WAS THE OLD NAME OF THE PODCAST
Hey, you guys. How are you? Welcome to Fast English Made Easy. I hope you guys are doing super, super well. Today, I'm going to be reading a dialogue between two siblings and one of them is telling the other, it's Emma and Liam. So Emma is telling her brother Liam about her day and about an art show that she wants to go to. So,
Listen.
No. Okay. So for starters, I'm going to read it very quickly or just like how I normally would, and then I will go through it line by line and say it slower for you. So this will be awesome shadowing practice for you guys. So, yeah. Ready. Emma Liam, you wouldn't believe the day I had today. Liam. Oh, really do tell. Well, first thing this morning, I had this job interview at that design agency. It was nerve wracking, but I think it went well.
I knew you'd nail it. What happened next? After that I decided to treat myself to brunch at that new cafe downtown. I tried this amazing avocado toast and lavender latte. It was like a little slice of heaven. Note to self. Try that cafe. Go on.
Okay. So after that brunch, I bumped into Sarah, you know, from my art class. She invited me to this art exhibit happening tonight. I couldn't say no. So now I have plans for this evening.
An art exhibit. That sounds awesome. What's it about. It's about contemporary art Liam. They're showcasing some really unique pieces. I think you'd love it. I'm in mind if I tag along? Of course not. It will be even more fun with you there. But wait, there's more. More, what else happened today? Well, on my way home, I stopped by the park and had a long chat with that old man who feeds the pigeons. He told me stories about his travels and it was strangely heartwarming. That sounds lovely, Em. it was sometimes Liam, you find the most amazing stories in the most unexpected places. You're right sis, it's the little moments that make life special. Exactly.
