116
So I'm just going to go ahead and read the rest of the text one time all the way to the end,
117
just because I know you might be getting tired practicing.
118
So let's do it.
119
Let's just read the rest of the story, okay?
120
When we got back to my house, my neighbor was waiting outside, holding my passport.
121
Before I went in, she casually asked if I'd checked for another flight that same day.
122
I hadn't.
123
I just assumed everything would be full.
124
Out of curiosity, I decided to look for alternatives.
125
To my surprise, there was exactly one seat left on a later flight that afternoon.
126

This time, the roads were clear.
130

132
But as I waited at the baggage carousel, my suitcase never appeared.
133
I waited and waited, but it didn't show up.
134
With very little time before the reception, I had to accept that it probably wouldn't arrive.
135
There wasn't enough time to file a report, so I left the airport in the same wrinkled clothes I'd traveled in.
136
When I reached the wedding venue, the ceremony had just ended and guests were already heading to the reception area.
137
My friend saw me and immediately came over to hug me.
138
I had about 30 minutes before the speeches were scheduled to start.
139
I found a quiet corner, took a few deep breaths, and reviewed my speech one last time.
140
When my name was announced, I walked up to the microphone.
141
Strangely, after everything that had happened that day, I didn't feel nervous anymore.
142
Missing trains, getting stuck in traffic, turning back home, forgetting my passport, and then my suitcase not arriving.
143
After all that, giving a speech felt simple.
144
I stopped worrying about perfect sentences and just spoke honestly.
145
The words came naturally, and for the first time that day, I felt completely calm.
146
The journey was supposed to take four hours, but ended up lasting nearly 22.
147
It cost me money, stress, and a lot of emotional energy, but I made it.
148
In the end, the speech I'd worried about for weeks turned out to be the easiest part of the day.
149
All right.
150
Boom.
151
That's it.
152
We did it.
153
Good workout.
154
Thank you for practicing with me.
155
Halfway through the lesson, I decided, you know what?
156
This is taking too long.
157
Let's just finish this story.
158
You know, it's just English speaking practice.
159
We can just move on to the next one.
160
I got a good one in the next one.
161
I don't even know what the next one is, but I know it's a good one.
162
One step at a time.
163
I'll see you there.

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.
