Learning English is not just about mastering grammar and vocabulary, it's more important to use it naturally in real situations. However, sentences in textbooks are often too formal and far from everyday expressions. To speak authentic, natural English, you need to engage with dialogues in real contexts. Here, we have selected high-frequency English expressions used in daily life, covering social, work, and travel scenarios, helping you break free from 'textbook English' and learn what native speakers really say. Below is the content of this issue of Learn English Through Movies - Inception CD2 04. Consistent practice will make your English more life-like!

This room should be directly below 5 to 8. Yeah. Thank, Mr. Fisher. I think what do you remember from before this dream? Oh, there was a lot of gunfire that was... rain... over here. Oh my god, we've been kidnapped. Where were they holding? They had us in the back of a van. That explains the gravity shifts. You're in the back of a van right now. Keep going. It had something to do with... something to do with a safe... God, I said so hard to remember. I tried to remember a dream after you've woken up. Listen, it takes years of practice. You and Browning have been pulled into this dream because they're trying to steal something from your mind. I need you to focus and try and remember what that is. What is it, Mr. Fisher? Think. A combination. They demanded the first numbers to pop into my head. They were trying to extract a number from your subconscious. It can represent anything. We're in a hotel right now. We should try hotels. What was that number, Mr. Fisher? Try and remember for me. This is very important. Five. Five, two. It was something that was... It was a long amount. It's good enough we can start there. Fifth floor. Yep. So do you use a timer? No, I have to judge it for myself. Well, you're all asleep in five, two, eight. I wait for you, Suf's kick. How will you know? His music warns me. And then when the van hits the barrier of the bridge, that should be a mistake. So we get a nice, synchronized kick. It's too soon. We won't get pulled out. If it's too late, we won't be able to drop us. Why not? Because the van will be in free form. Can't drop you without grabbing. Right. With me. Mr. Charles. Do you know what that is, Mr. Fisher? Yeah, I think so, yeah. They were trying to put you under. I'm already under. Under again. What do you mean? A dream? Is that a dream? Hey, I see you've changed. I'm sorry? Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Mr. Gafford. Good looking fellow, I'm sure. Well, that's Fisher's projection of Browning. This following is the Iron Baves. Why? Because how he acts will tell us if Fisher is starting to suspect his murder's the only one to him. Shit. Oh, Peter. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm Mr. Gafford. Good looking fellow, I'm sure. That's Fisher's projection of Browning. This following is the Iron Baves. Said you were kidnapped together? Well, well, not exactly. They already had him. They were torturing him. And he saw them torture him. The kidnappers are working for you. Robert. You're trying to get that safe open? Is he going to go alternate well? Fisher Morrow has been my entire life. I can't let you destroy it. I'm not going to throw away my inheritance. Why would I? I couldn't let you rise to your father's last taunt. The will, Robert. That will. That's his last insult. The challenge is for you to build something for yourself. But telling you, you're not worthy of his accomplishments. Well, that he was disappointed. I'm sorry. But he's wrong. You can build a better company than he ever did. Mr. Fisher? He's lying. I mean, trust me, it's what I do. He's hiding something and we need to find out what that is. I need you to do the same thing. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I need you to do the same thing to him that he was going to do to you. Well, and to his subconscious and find out what he doesn't want you to know. All right. He's up. Wait, who's subconscious? Are we going into the department? Going into Fisher's. I told him it was Browning, so it could be a part of our team. It was breaking. It was also.
