00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.640
Welcome back to the Learn English Podcast. Let's

00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:07.820
improve your English pronunciation. First, listen,

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.599
repeat after me, and then we'll shadow. Today,

00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:16.600
we're focusing on natural sentences that use

00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:21.079
word order to change the meaning. Listen and

00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:25.839
repeat after me. Long before she changed careers.

00:00:29.579 --> 00:00:43.960
Changed careers. Elena felt burnt out. Long before

00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:55.320
she changed careers, Elena felt burnt out. She

00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:04.140
worked late most nights. knew she needed a change.

00:01:08.579 --> 00:01:13.060
She worked late most nights and knew she needed

00:01:13.060 --> 00:01:27.400
a change. But the idea of starting over felt

00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:38.430
too far. out of reach. But the idea of starting

00:01:38.430 --> 00:01:51.230
over felt too far out of reach. Let's try to

00:01:51.230 --> 00:01:54.810
shadow this paragraph now. If you can't, don't

00:01:54.810 --> 00:01:58.349
worry. Just try to listen to my rhythm and my

00:01:58.349 --> 00:02:02.310
intonation. Long before she changed careers,

00:02:02.650 --> 00:02:07.870
Elena felt burnt out. She worked late most nights

00:02:07.870 --> 00:02:13.110
and knew she needed a change. But the idea of

00:02:13.110 --> 00:02:18.949
starting over felt too far out of reach. Let's

00:02:18.949 --> 00:02:22.349
go to the next paragraph. Friends encouraged

00:02:22.349 --> 00:02:30.000
her. Encouraged. So put your stress... on the

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:36.879
cur part of the word encouraged to take small

00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:46.479
steps forward friends encouraged her to take

00:02:46.479 --> 00:03:01.530
small steps forward before long She started exploring

00:03:01.530 --> 00:03:14.330
new options online Before long she started exploring

00:03:14.330 --> 00:03:30.669
new options online She looked into careers such

00:03:30.669 --> 00:03:42.849
as teaching, researching, and coding. She looked

00:03:42.849 --> 00:03:48.349
into careers such as teaching, researching, and

00:03:48.349 --> 00:04:03.469
coding. Now she only wishes She had made the

00:04:03.469 --> 00:04:13.810
change Sooner Now she only wishes she had made

00:04:13.810 --> 00:04:22.529
the change sooner Let's try to shadow this paragraph

00:04:22.529 --> 00:04:28.310
Friends encouraged her to take small steps forward

00:04:28.310 --> 00:04:34.000
before long She started exploring new options

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:39.019
online. She looked into careers such as teaching,

00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:45.279
researching, and coding. Now, she only wishes

00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:51.019
she had made the change sooner. And let's try

00:04:51.019 --> 00:04:56.459
the whole thing together. Long before she changed

00:04:56.459 --> 00:05:01.839
careers, Elena felt burnt out. She worked late

00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:06.959
most nights and knew she needed a change. But

00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:11.339
the idea of starting over felt too far out of

00:05:11.339 --> 00:05:16.339
reach. Friends encouraged her to take small steps

00:05:16.339 --> 00:05:21.620
forward. Before long, she started exploring new

00:05:21.620 --> 00:05:26.600
options online. She looked into careers such

00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:33.180
as teaching, researching, and coding. Now, she

00:05:33.180 --> 00:05:39.240
only wishes she had made the change sooner. Were

00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:43.500
