Oh, my
2
God.
3
Don't bother me!
4
Can't you see I'm drowning in work? But...
5
I just wanted to show you I spent all morning drawing it.
6
Get out of here, you useless thing!
7
Don't bring this garbage near me!
8
Serves you right.
9
Drawing nonsense while mom is angry and you keep pestering her.
10
Look at your dumb face, you're such a nuisance.
11
That was a drawing I made with all my heart for mom.
12
Pip, please don't say that.
13
I told you I don't have time to listen to your crying.
14
Get out of here right now so I can work.
15
This scent is amazing.
16
An expensive perfume bottle like this deserves to be used by me.
17
PIP!
18
What was that breaking sound?
19
Are you okay?
20
Did any glass hit you?
21
Oh my god!
22
My expensive perfume bottle!
23
Who dared to do this?
24
Mom, Lily did it.
25
She sneaked into the room to mess with your things, and I tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen and accidentally broke it.
26
No, Mom.
27
I only ran in when I heard the crash, and I swear I didn't touch the perfume bottle.
28
Shut up!
29
You did wrong and you still dare to deny it and blame your sister?
30
You useless ruin!
31
Mom, please believe me.
32
Pip is lying.
33
I really didn't do it.
34
Get out of my sight right now!
35
Don't let me see your face for another second!
36
From now on, I don't have a daughter like you.
37
Get out of my sight and don't ever show your face in this house again!
38
Mom, I beg you, don't kick me out.
39
It's very cold out here.
40
What are you crying for, you useless thing?
41
Hurry up and get lost so this house can have some peace.
42
I won't give up.
43
But I definitely have to take care of myself.
44
Uncles and aunts, I draw portraits.
45
Just for some spare change, I will draw very beautifully.
46
Such a tiny girl and you know how to draw portraits?
47
Alright, try drawing me.
48
Yes, ma'am.
49
Sit still.
50
I'll draw right away.
51
Little girl, did you teach yourself how to draw?
52
Yes sir, I practice by myself with these small pencils.
53
But why do you have to sit here drawing to make money? Where are your parents?
54
My mom kicked me out of the house.
55
I have nowhere else to go.
56
I am the painter.
57
Would you like to come live with me?
58
Are you telling the truth, sir? Of course.
59
I will adopt you and teach you to become a painter.
60
Yes, I do.
61
Thank you so much, sir.
62
Pip, look at your academic performance getting worse and worse like this.
63
Stop nagging, Mom.
64
I just like playing.
65
I give you a life of luxury only for you to become this useless thing.
66
You're improving very fast, Lily, and your strokes have a lot of soul.
67
Yes, thank you, Father.
68
I will do my best in the upcoming competition.
69
I believe you can do it and just confidently express your feelings.
70
Pip, my darling.
71
Mom just bought you the best art kit in the city.
72
My genius daughter will definitely win first prize.
73
Oh my god, I could draw better than most people with my eyes closed.
74
I'm a natural born genius.
75
Why should I touch it in practice just to dirty my fingernails?
76
That's right, my lovely daughter.
77
No one can compare to your talent and let those inferior people out there bury their heads in practice.
78
The crown definitely belongs to you.
79
Of course, mom.
80
You just wait to go to the competition and receive the golden trophy, and I won't bother wasting a single drop of sweat.
81
Oh look, a homeless person came to compete in drawing too?
82
Using these torn, stubby pencils?
83
I thought you starved to death?
84
Get out of the way so my Pip can compete!
85
Please watch your words.
86
This is my daughter.
87
So someone picked her up.
88
Just you wait and see how my Pip crushes her.
89
My high-end paint box could beat ten kids like her!
90
Talent lies in the hands, not inexpensive items.
91
Let's take our seats, Father, and no need to mind them.
92
This year's secret theme is Nature.
93
Time starts now.
94
Oh No, how do I draw trees?
95
Come on pip take out your expensive paints and do a few strokes and you'll win
96
Oh my hands are all dirty This expensive pen is broken why isn't it making a shape?
97
This year's gold medalist is Lily
98
You did wonderfully, my daughter.
99
This is so humiliating, but I don't dare look up at anyone anymore.
100
Lily, my darling daughter, please forgive Mom.
101
Come back home with me and your sister Pip.
102
I will never go back to a cruel mother like you.
103
By the way, the perfume bottle that day was broken by Pip herself, who then blamed it on me.
104
Pip!
105
Is what Lily said true?
106
Yes.
107
I accidentally broke it.
108
Oh my god.
109
You dared to lie to me and I am truly disappointed in you!
110
you

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.
