Here we go.
We are going to practice speaking English with shadowing.
Repeat after me.
Master your pronunciation, your enunciation, your speaking flow.
Let's get fluent.
Let's become good at it.
All right.
That's the text.
Listen to this.
You know how conventional wisdom says to follow your passion?
You know how conventional wisdom says to follow your passion?
All right, I have a question.
What is conventional wisdom?
What does conventional mean?
Conventional means standard, like standard wisdom, traditional wisdom, the wisdom that you often hear.
It's conventional.
You know how conventional wisdom says to follow your passion?
They say that, don't they?
They say, follow your passion, right?
That's the wisdom that they give you.
You know how conventional wisdom says to follow your passion?
You know how conventional wisdom says to follow your passion?
Say it like that.
Okay, did you repeat?
Good job.
They say if you pick a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life.
Say it with me.
They say if you pick a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life.
Again.
They say if you pick a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life.
How was that?
Here it is.
They say if you pick a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life.
They say if you pick a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life.
What do you think about that?
If you pick a job you love, I love this job.
I really love teaching English.
But sometimes it can be very difficult and it's not fun.
So I don't know about this.
I don't know about that.
Some days I feel like I'm working and I'm working hard.
Anyways, let's move on.
Well, that's not entirely true.
Research suggests that we often get it backwards.
Well, that's not entirely true.
Research suggests that we often get it backwards.
I was about to say get that backwards.
We can say get it backwards.
All right, let's look at the text.
Well, that's not entirely true.
Research suggests that we often get it backwards.
We often get it backwards.
What does that mean?
That means we get it mixed up.
We switch it.
Let's see what they mean.
It's not that we do great work at things we love.
Instead, we tend to love what we get really good at.
Okay, that makes sense.
It's not that we do great work at things we love.
Instead, we tend to love what we get really good at.
Hmm, I see.
Here it is.
It's not that we do great work at things we love.
Instead, we tend to love what we get really good at.
Let's try it again.
It's not that we do great work at things we love.
Instead, we tend to love what we get really good at.
And if we get really good at English, we will love it.
All right.
So rather than, rather than, rather than.
So, rather than endlessly chasing, endlessly without end, on and on, and on constantly, endlessly chasing after our passion, chasing after your passion.
So rather than doing that, which, let's face it, can be a bit of a vague idea.
Okay, so this portion right here, which is let's face it, can be a bit of a vague idea.
It's kind of an interruption in mid-sentence.
The sentence goes, so rather than endlessly chasing after our passion, and then you jump to here.
We should really focus on honing our skills.
Honing.
Do you know what honing is?
That's making something perfect, refining it, getting better and better at something.
You make it perfect, you hone your skill.
You hone your ability to do something.
All right, let's go back right here.
Which, let's face it, let's face it, let's be honest.
Let's be honest, let's face it. can be a bit of a vague idea.
What is vague?
Vague.
That means not clear, unclear.
It can be an unclear idea.
You know, endlessly chasing after our passion.
What is our passion?
We don't know what our passion is.
That can be a bit of a vague idea.
Let's face it.
Let's be honest.
All right, there's a lot going on there, isn't there?
I'm going to say it all nice and smooth.
Follow along.
Here we go.
So, rather than endlessly chasing after our passion which, let's face it, can be a bit of a vague idea we should really focus on honing our skills.
All right, let's try it again.
So, rather than endlessly chasing after our passion which, let's face it, can be a bit of a vague idea we should really focus on honing our skills.
One more time.
So, rather than endlessly chasing after our passion which, let's face it, can be a bit of a vague idea We should really focus on honing our skills.
That's what we should really focus on.
