Some Visitors for Carol Two hours later, a tall man arrived at the hospital.

He asked to see the woman in yesterday's street accident.

He didn't know her name.

The doctor came downstairs.
5
"'Who are you?' she asked the man.
6
"'My name is Pavel Brechter.
7
I saw the accident and I called the ambulance.
8
Is the woman all right?

I just wanted to know that.
10
I was afraid she was dead.' The doctor smiled.
11
Would you like to see her?
12
She's much better now.
13
Yes, please, answered Pavel.
14
Then come with me.
15
They went upstairs in the lift and walked along to Carol's room.

At the door they stopped and looked in through the window.
17
She's sleeping, said the doctor.
18
But she looks well, said Pavel.
19
Yesterday she looked so white.
20
I was afraid for her.
21
Just then, Carol opened her eyes and saw a man through the window in her door.
22
She sat up.
23
"'Jan!' she shouted.
24
"'Jan!' "'Oh dear,' the doctor said.
25
Not again.' She hit her head in the accident, and she's confused about some things.
26
She thinks that you are her husband from England.
27
Shall I go? asked Pavel.
28
Perhaps it's better.
29
Yes, answered the doctor.
30
She went into Carol's room and closed the door.
31
Pavel walked slowly back to the lift.
32
Then the lift door opened and a man ran out with some beautiful red flowers in his arms.
33
He looked at the numbers of the rooms, and then went quickly into Carol's room.
34
He didn't see Pavel.
35
But an older man came slowly out of the lift next.
36
He saw Pavel and stopped suddenly.
37
Pavel stopped too.
38
I'm sorry, said the old man.
39
My eyes aren't very good.
40
I thought...
41
You see, you look...
42
Yes, I know, said Pavel.
43
I saw your friend.
44
He's not my friend.
45
He's my son.
46
Please tell me.
47
What is your name?
48
Pavel Brichter.
49
The old man looked very afraid.
50
His face went white and his mouth opened and closed.
51
But he said nothing.
52
Now Pavel was afraid.
53
You don't look Very well," he said.
54
Would you like to sit down?
55
And shall I call a doctor?
56
There's a doctor in this room here.
57
Please, said the old man.
58
My son is in that room.
59
Please take me to him.
60
Pavel took the old man's arm.
61

You are Jan?
71

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.
