Track 45 Hillcrest Academy Special Memories Anya,
2
age 13 My special memory is from when I was three years old.
3
We were staying with my grandparents at their house in the country.
4
They lived in an old wooden house.
5
I remember the house was always cold and it was near a forest.
6
When it was time for bed, Grandma took me upstairs to read me a story.
7
On my bed, there was a lovely wool blanket.
8
It was really colourful.
9
I remember touching it and it was so, so soft.
10
It's yours.
11
I made it for you, my Grandma said.
12
I still have the blanket on my bed at home.
13
It looks really small there, but I remember when I was younger it seemed so big.
14
Pete, age 14.
15
My special memory isn't from very long ago.
16
I was opening presents on my 13th birthday.
17
My older brother gave me a large box.
18
It was very hard.
19
What could it be?
20
I opened it and felt inside.
21
I'm blind, so I needed to touch everything because I can't see.
22
It was smooth and round.
23
I remember thinking, it's a leather football and feeling upset.
24
I can't play football because I can't see the ball.
25
I picked it up.
26
It felt quite heavy and and it made a noise.
27
My brother told me it was a special football for blind people.
28
There are little metal balls inside that make a noise when someone kicks or throws it.
29
Perfect!
30
Now I play football all the time.
31
You will hear Carmen talking to Murat about some things she has found in her grandparents' house.
32
Who does each thing belong to?
33
I'm looking for a small wooden clock.
34
It belongs to my grandad and he says I can paint it.
35
I think it's in this box.
36
Let's have a look.
37
Oh, here's a heavy old computer.
38
Is that your grandma's?
39
Actually, it's my aunt's.
40
She doesn't use it anymore, though.
41
And this old hat's cool.
42
Is it your mother's?
43
That was a present from my mum to my uncle.
44
He never liked it.
45
Oh, look, a toy bear.
46
Oh, it's really soft.
47
Is this your baby cousin's?
48
That's my brother's.
49
My dad gave it to him when he was little.
50
Oh, and look at this painting.
51
Oh, I painted that and I gave it to my dad when I was about eight.
52
I don't know why it's here.
53
It's lovely.
54
And what's this?
55
Oh, it's a colourful cotton jacket.
56
Is it yours? That thing?
57
That's not mine.
58
My aunt gave it to my grandma.
59
Well, the box is empty now.
60
The clock isn't here.
61
Oh, no. Carmen?
62
Yes?
63
What's that on the wall?
64
Huh?
65
It's the clock!
66
Thanks, Murat.

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.
