39
One night, a fellow drove his secretary home after she had imbibed a little too much at an office reception.

Although this was an innocent gesture, he decided not to mention it to his wife, who tended to get jealous easily.
41
The next night, the man and his wife were driving to a restaurant.
42
Suddenly, he looked down and spotted a high-heel shoe half hidden under the passenger seat.
43
Not wanting to be conspicuous, he waited until his wife was looking out her window before he scooped up the shoe
44
and tossed it out of the car.

With a sigh of relief, he pulled into the restaurant parking lot.

51
What a day!
52
He put her on every ride in the park, the death slide, the screaming loop, the wall of fear, everything there was.

Wow!

Five hours later, she staggered out of the theme park, her head reeling and her stomach upside down.
55
Off to a McDonald's they went, where her husband ordered her a Big Mac along with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate shake.
56
Then it was off to a movie, the latest Hollywood blockbuster, hot dogs, popcorn, Pepsi-Cola, and Eminem, Dems.
57
What a fabulous adventure.
58
Finally, she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed.
59
He leaned over and lovingly asked, well, dear, what was it like being six again?

One eye opened.

You dummy, I meant my dress size.
62

72
I started to appreciate her more about six months ago, Joe said.
73
It has revived our marriage, and we couldn't be happier Inspired by Joe's story, Bob hurried home, hugged his wife, told her how much he loved her,

and said he wanted to hear all about her day Instead, she burst into tears Darling, Bob said, whatever's the matter?
75
This has been the worst day I've had for a long time, she replied This morning Billy fell off his bike and hurt his ankle, then the washing machine broke down Now,
76
to top it off, you come home drunk Story 10, How to Buy a Present
77
A man walked into a department store and told an assistant he'd like to buy a present for his wife Certainly,
78
sir, replied the assistant Perhaps a dress or a blouse?
79
Anything, said the man And in what color?
80
It doesn't matter Size?
81
Immaterial Seeing the assistant's confusion, the man explained that whenever he bought his wife something, she would always take it back to the shop and exchange it.
82
Why don't you get a gift voucher instead?
83
The assistant asked him.
84
Oh no, said the man.

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.
