This is a story from a recent past.
2
In a city, there lived a little beautiful girl.
3
It was New Year's Eve, and the girl was walking on the roadside with bundles of matches in her hands.
4
She had a few of them in the pockets of her apron too.
5
There was snowfall which had covered her hair and the beautiful curls around her neck.
6
She was walking since the morning but couldn't sell a single matchbox.
7
She approached people walking on the road
8
but nobody purchased a single match from her as everybody was enjoying the eve out there.
9
Walking through the footpath, the girl saw many shops full of cakes and various foods.
10
She saw many restaurants with people eating different foods with candles
11
burning on their tables The girl too was very hungry as she had had nothing since morning
12
She ignored the sight and walked ahead.
13
She was shivering as it was night and the cold was quite piercing
14
She was unable to walk properly as she was barefoot
15
During daytime when she was at home sitting beside her ill grandmother Mary,
16
would you please go out today to sell the matches?
17
We could get some food if you could sell a few of them.
18
No, Mother.
19
It's too cold out there.
20
Go, you silly girl.
21
Go and sell all those matches by evening.
22
And don't come home unless you sell them all.
23
Oh, go, dear.
24
Or else he will hit you again.
25
I feel so sorry to have such a cruel son.
26
Don't cry, Grandma.
27
I'll go.
28
Mary put some matches in her apron, wore her mother's slippers, and left.
29
She tried her best, approaching people to buy the matches from her, but no one responded.
30
It was getting dark, and Mary was very hungry, But she remembered her father's threat
31
and she started walking again at the corner of the road She bumped on a group of people.
32
Oh Sorry I'm fine.
33
Would you like to purchase any matches?
34
Sorry little angel.
35
I don't need any and
36
They went on Mary then felt that she is barefoot She realized that one of her slippers is broken
37
She searched for another one and found it in the gutter.
38
She couldn't take it out from there.
39
Mary decided to walk barefoot.
40
Before moving on, she checked if her matches were safe.
41
She met many people but failed to sell any match.
42
Tired, she found a corner between two houses and decided to sit there for a while.
43
The cold was getting bitterer.
44
The girl with the matches in her hands thought, If I burn a matchstick, I can get some warmth.
45
Again, a thought came in her mind.
46
If father came to know about it, he would be very angry.
47
But the shivering forced her to think.
48
How would he know if I burnt just one stick?
49
She dared to take out a matchstick and burn it on a wood stick nearby.
50
And what a surprise!
51
The matchstick turned into an iron stove!
52
The girl felt warm.
53
She put her hand near the iron stove
54
and tried to grasp the warmth she was very happy
55
but soon in a few moments a snowdrop fell on the matchstick
56
and the flame went out she was very disappointed in a while she started shivering again.
57
She thought for a moment and took out the matchbox.
58
She picked out another matchstick and burnt it against the wall adjacent to her.
59
Ah, to her surprise, the wall turned transparent.
60
She could see through the wall now.
61
The house was very beautiful and well decorated.
62
There was fire and light as many candles were burning.
63
The family living there was having their food.
64
She could see ample food
65
and cakes kept on the dining table where the family members were chatting and discussing something sitting around the table.
66
Mary saw a roasted goose kept in a plate on the table.
67
All of a sudden, the goose started staring at Mary.
68
She was surprised again.
69
The very next moment, she saw the goose coming towards her.
70
As she was very hungry, she felt happy to see the goose coming to her.
71
The goose came near the wall.
72
Mary was about to insert her hand in the wall and hold the goose.
73
Just then, the flame of the matchstick went off, and everything vanished at once.
74
Now there wasn't any transparent wall anymore.
75
Mary was very disappointed.
76
She looked at the sky, pleading God to help her.
77
Oh, God!
78
Please take me out of the situation.
79
Just then, she saw a star falling down.
80
A thought struck her mind.
81
They say, when a star falls, someone dies.
82
My grandma is very sick.
83
Does it mean that I've lost my grandma?
84
Oh, she loved me the most.
85
Crying, she took out another matchstick and burnt it.
86
She was not surprised to see her grandmother standing in front.
87
Oh, Grandma, you're here?
88
Yes, my child.
89
I'm here for you.
90
Mary was pleased to see her grandmother, but got scared the next moment.
91
She thought her grandmother also will disappear.
92
She took out more sticks from the match and put them on the burning stick.
93
And there was a light, a light as bright as the sunlight.
94
In that hour of night, there was a bright sunlight around Mary and her grandmother.
95
Mary looked upon at her grandmother grandmother.
96
She was looking very beautiful in her new white gown.
97
Grandmother was looking at Mary, smiling.
98
Grandma, I am too scared to stay here anymore.
99
Please take me with you, please.
100
Yes dear, I'll take you with me.
101
Give me your hand.
102
The grandmother held Mary's hand and lifted her in her arms.
103
They both started flying upwards.
104
Mary was so pleased that she started clapping.
105
How are you feeling now, my little angel?
106
Now, Grandma, I don't feel hungry or cold or scared anymore.
107
I'm feeling very light.
108
The grandmother smiled at her, and they both flew to the heaven.
109
There was an innocent smile on Mary's face, and the sun rays lightened her face in the morning.
110
There were many people gathered around her.
111
All of them were watching Mary, lying down in the corner, between the two houses.
112
They all felt pity for her.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
