Chapter 1.
4
Guitar and Drums My friend Kate loves music.
5
She's always singing and playing her guitar, and she's good, too.
6
She usually plays in her bedroom,
7
but today she's going to play in the town square.
8
She's going to play in front of people, and she's afraid.
9
So I'm going with her.
10
My name's Lucy, and I'm Kate's best friend.
11
We arrive at the square,
12
and there are lots of people.
13
Near the flower shop, there is a living statue.
14
She is silver from head to foot.
15
Her face, her hat, her coat, everything.
16
She isn't moving, I say.
17
How does she do that?
18
The man from the flower shop hears me.
19
Oh, the silver statue never moves, he laughs.
20
She stands there every day,
21
from early morning to late afternoon.
22
We walk across the square and stop near a cafe.
23
I'm going to sing here, I think, says Kate.
24
She gets her guitar out of its bag bag.
25
Good luck, I say.
26
Thanks.
27
Kate begins to sing and play her guitar.
28
She's good, but she's usually better.
29
She's afraid, I can see.
30
Perhaps she's thinking, are people going to like my music.
31
But some people stop and listen,
32
and soon Kate is happier.
33
She begins to play better.
34
Then, suddenly, everything changes.
35
I hear something new.
36
Drums.
37
Loud drums.
38
A young man is sitting in the square and he's playing drums on three white buckets.
39
Kate sings louder, but it doesn't help.
40
Nobody is listening now because nobody can hear her over the drums.
41
Kate stops playing.
42
How can I play over that terrible noise? she asks angrily.
43
It isn't terrible.
44
He's a good drummer, but I can't say that now.
45
Kate puts her guitar in its bag.
46
Let's have a drink at the cafe and wait, I say.
47
At the cafe, Kate says, those drums are loud.
48
The woman from the cafe smiles.
49
Oh, that's Joe, she says.
50
He plays here every Saturday.
51
We finish our drinks and wait,
52
but the drums don't stop.
53
Let's go, Kate says.
54
We can come back next week.
55
The silver statue watches us.
56
Of course she says nothing.
57
Chapter 2 An Early Morning.
58
The next week, Kate wants to get an earlier bus.
59
I don't know, Kate.
60
I don't like getting up early on a Saturday, I tell her.
61
But I want to arrive at the square before that drummer,
62
and I need you there.
63
Please, Lucy.
64
OK, I say.
65
Of course, the silver statue is there when we arrive.
66
Then we look across the square.
67
Someone is sitting near the cafe.
68
It's Joe with his drums.
69
Look, says Kate.
70
He's here early too.
71
She begins walking fast across the square.
72
Wait, Kate, I say, but she doesn't listen to me.
73
You're playing the drums here again, Kate says.
74
Joe looks up and says,
75
I always play here on a Saturday.
76
But you're very loud, says Kate angrily.
77
I want to help.
78
Perhaps you can play first, I say to Joe. And then...
79
But now Joe is angry too.
80
This isn't your square, he tells Kate.
81
And then he begins playing.
82
And that isn't music, Kate shouts over the drums.
83
But Joe closes his eyes and plays.
84
Let's go to the cafe again, I say.
85
We can wait there.
86
But Kate is walking away.
87
Next week is going to be different, she says.
88
Chapter 3.
89
Louder and Louder The next Saturday,
90
we're back in the square.
91
The silver statue is there,
92
of course, but we don't see Joe today.
93
Kate has her guitar, but that isn't all.
94
She has an amp and a microphone too.
95
They're from our school.
96
When Kate begins playing this time, the music is louder.
97
People stop and listen.
98
They like her.
99
I know it.
100
Some people give her money.
101
They put it in her guitar bag.
102
But when Kate is singing her third song, we suddenly hear drums.
103
We look across the square and see Joe.
104
This time, Kate is ready.
105
She doesn't stop playing, no. She smiles and turns up the amp.
106
That's better.
107
But then Joe begins playing louder too.
108
Kate turns up the amp again.
109
Now her music is very loud.
110
But wait, the drums are louder now too.
111
Some of the people in the square begin walking away.
112
People can't hear Kate's music very well because Joe's drums are very loud.
113
And they can't hear the drums well because Kate's song is loud too.
114
Together, they're making a terrible noise.
115
Suddenly, there is a shout.
116
Stop!
117
Chapter 4 A Note Stop!
118
Someone shouts again.
119
It's the woman from the cafe.
120
Kate and Jo stop playing and look back at her.
121
Nobody wants to hear this, the woman says.
122
She's right.
123
Nobody is sitting at the tables in front of her cafe now.
124
Kate and Joe walk across to the woman.
125
Sorry, they say.
126
OK, says the woman.
127
Joe, you can play first for 30 minutes.
128
She looks at Kate.
129
Then you can play, all right?
130
Yes, they say.
131
Kate and I sit at the cafe for the next 30 minutes.
132
Of course, we can hear the drums.
133
But I can see something too.
134
Under the table, Kate's foot is moving.
135
She likes Joe's drums.
136
Soon, Joe finishes, and Kate begins playing.
137
She sings well, and Joe listens to her.
138
After the last song, Kate and I take the money from her guitar bag.
139
Wait, I say.
140
What's this?
141
It's a note for you.
142
What does it say?
143
Asks Kate.
144
Sorry about today.
145
Your music is good.
146
Perhaps we can play together next week?
147
Eleven a.m.?
148
I look up.
149
It's from Joe, I think.
150
From the bus home, I have only one question.
151
So, are you going to meet Joe next week?
152
Perhaps, Kate says.
153
He is an OK drummer.
154
I want to shout, and he has nice eyes.
155
But for Kate, music is everything.
156
Chapter 5.
157
Silver Paint The next Saturday,
158
I arrive at the square after Kate.
159
I find her with Joe near the cafe.
160
They're talking before they play together.
161
Kate sees me and says, You're here!
162
Thanks, Lucy.
163
That's okay, I say.
164
I want to hear this.
165
Kate begins playing and singing.
166
Then Joe begins drumming.
167
Kate plays this song a lot.
168
But it's different with the drums.
169
I like it.
170
Suddenly, I see something.
171
Joe's bag is open and there's a note in it.
172
The note says, Sorry about today.
173
Your music is good.
174
Perhaps we can play together next week, 11am?
175
This note and Kate's note are the same.
176
And Joe's note is not from Kate.
177
So who are the notes from?
178
Then I see some paint on the note.
179
Silver paint.
180
Just then I hear something from across the square.
181
Some people are laughing.
182
They're watching the silver statue.
183
First, her foot moves.
184
Then one leg.
185
Two legs.
186
Her arms.
187
Then her body.
188
Look!
189
Someone shouts.
190
She's moving!
191
I look at the silver statue.
192
And now she is dancing.
193
She's dancing to Kate and Jo's music.
194
Soon, lots of people are laughing and dancing too.
195
Kate and Jo's music is very good,
196
and everyone is having a good time.
197
When the song finishes, the people all shout for more.
198
Kate and Jo smile and begin a new song.
199
This time, the silver statue doesn't move.
200
She's a statue again.
201
Chapter 6 The Secret Kate and Joe play two more songs.
202
When they stop, everyone wants to talk to them.
203
Come back next week, one woman says.
204
I want the silver statue to dance again.
205
And I want to hear that music again, says her friend.
206
The woman from the cafe is much happier now.
207
You two are great, she tells Kate and Joe.
208
Are you going to play together again?

Kate and Joe begin talking excitedly again.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
