Learning English is not just about mastering grammar and vocabulary; more importantly, it is about using them naturally in real-life situations. However, textbook sentences are often too formal and differ greatly from expressions used in everyday life. To speak authentic and natural English, you need exposure to real conversational contexts. Here, we have selected commonly used daily English expressions, covering social, work, and travel scenarios, helping you move beyond 'textbook English' and learn what native speakers actually use. Below is the content of this issue of Learn English through Movies - Inception CD1 16. Consistent practice will make your English closer to real life!

Great train through the wall. The truth that mall is bursting through years of conscious. And the truth that as we go deeper into Fisher, we're also going deeper into you. And I'm not sure we're going to like what we find.

We were working together. We were exploring the concept of a dream within a dream. I kept pushing things. I wanted to go deeper and deeper. I wanted to go further. I just didn't understand the concept that hours could turn into years down there.

We could get trapped so deep that when we wound up on the shore of our own subconscious, we lost sight of what was real. We created, we built the world for ourselves. We did that for years. We built the home world. How long were you stuck there? Nothing like 50 years. How could you stand it? It wasn't so bad at first.

The above is a compilation by Qicai.com of 'Learn English through Movies - Inception CD1 16' content, hoping it can be helpful to you!
