1
Hi, I'm Clover, and boy have I got a crazy story to share with you.
2
But before I spill the beans, please like and subscribe.
3
Growing up, my mom and I were constantly butting heads.
4
She was a marine biologist and dreamt of making me some kind of scientist too.
5
Unfortunately for her, I loved fashion, and the only person who got me was mom's sister, Aunt Lydia.
6
Aunt Lydia ran a small boutique in the city, and even though she didn't make much money, she was the happiest person I knew.
7
She always encouraged me to pursue my interest in fashion and even taught me to sew.
8
Every day, I would skip school and run to my aunt's boutique to watch her work.
9
And while I loved it, it didn't reflect well on my report card.
10
You got a D in science again?
11
You go to the best school, you have the best tutors, and you still disappoint me.
12
When I was your age, I didn't even have a school in my area.
13
I had to walk 10 kilometers, cross a desert, swim through a canal, and walk over three bridges to reach the nearest school.
14
It was tough, but I was determined to make a life for myself.
15
That's an exaggeration.
16
You don't get in the middle of this.
17
You're ruining my daughter's life, just like you ruined yours.
18
You're jealous I'm happier than you'll ever be.
19
If by happy you mean as poor as a street rat, then congratulations, you take the cake!
20
Mom and Aunt Lydia fought a lot that night, and the next day, Aunt Lydia told me she was moving to another town.
21
Are you leaving because of Mom?
22
No, sweetie.
23
I'm leaving because I want to explore new opportunities.
24
Then take me with you!
25
I hate going to school anyway!
26
You will finish your school and then follow your dreams.
27
Now, I have something to keep you company while I'm gone.
28
Aunt Lydia handed me the keys to her boutique, and the cutest Pomeranian puppy I'd ever seen in my life, Bonnie!
29
And she became my best friend!
30
Of course, I missed my aunt, but with Bonnie by my side, I felt less lonely.
31
She followed me everywhere, and to my mom's horror, I even slept in my bed.
32
Even my friends adored Bonnie, and they gave me the idea to start a vlog based on her.
33
I posted a bunch of videos with Bonnie, but what really picked up was when I started posting videos of us dressed in coordinated outfits that I designed.
34
By the time I was 17, my vlog with Bonnie got really popular, and people even started reaching out for custom orders.
35
I had my aunt's old sewing machine, so I started taking orders online and finally had my own business.
36
Life was good, but mom still thought I was wasting my time.
37
Not that I cared.
38
I was busy making my dreams come true.
39
Then one evening, I was out walking with Bonnie when I noticed a cute ribbon shop.
40
I was checking it out when suddenly Bonnie started growling.
41
I turned around and saw this girl staring in her face.
42
I knew it was you.
43
You're the girl who dresses up like her dog on her vlog.
44
Excuse me?
45
Oh, don't get me wrong.
46
I meant that as a compliment.
47
I'm a big fan.
48
Her name was Daisy and she told me she was new to the neighborhood.
49
We talked for a while before I noticed that it was late, so I left.
50
The next morning, I had one of my big arguments with mom, so I was in a really sour mood.
51
And as soon as I walked into my class, I saw Daisy sitting at the back.
52
She saw me too, and slid into the seat next to mine.
53
And we meet again.
54
It's like we're destined to be friends.
55
Anyway, we couldn't talk properly yesterday.
56
You see, I had this really bad toothache.
57
I was a kid when I slipped on a mop and broke my front tooth, and it just never got better.
58
You wanna see?
59
That's, um, interesting.
60
But I really need to focus on this class, Daisy.
61
But why do you need to study?
62
You're so famous and talented.
63
Studies are for losers.
64
You know what?
65
We should totally hang out after school, and I'll show you this cool place.
66
This rock is shaped like a weird tarantula.
67
It's...
68
Oh my god!
69
Just stop talking!
70
You're giving me a migraine!
71
What part of I need to focus do you not understand?
72
I'd been a bit louder than I thought, and the whole class fell silent while Daisy looked really hurt.
73
I wanted to apologize immediately, but before I could, the teacher asked me to leave for disrupting the lesson.
74
Later that day, I saw Daisy sitting in the cafeteria alone and walked up to her.
75
Can we talk?
76
No, I need to focus on this spoon so I can bend it with my mind.
77
I'm sorry.
78
I had a really bad argument with my mom and took it out on you.
79
It's just that my mom doesn't get me.
80
She just wants me to do whatever she's saying without thinking about what I want.
81
I get it.
82
Parents can be so weird sometimes.
83
My dad's a lawyer and wants me to be just like him.
84
But I want to be a stand-up comic.
85
Do you want to hear a joke?
86
Why does an aunt never get sick?
87
Because it has antibodies.
88
Oh, one more.
89
Why does the ant never smell bad?
90
Because it wears deodorant.
91
Get it?
92
Get it?
93
It's hilarious, right?
94
I couldn't help laughing.
95
And after that, we ended up spending the whole day together.
96
Daisy was nuts.
97
But she really appreciated my work and had all these amazing ideas for my business.
98
I won't lie.
99
It felt good to be taken seriously.
100
Soon, Daisy started helping me with my videos.
101
And she hung out at my house all the time.
102
I enjoyed her company, but for some reason, Bonnie just couldn't warm up to her.
103
Once, we were shooting in my living room one day, when suddenly, Bonnie charged at Daisy and grabbed her pants.
104
Daisy lost her mind and jumped in panic.
105
They went round and round in circles before Daisy tripped and fell into this huge shell full of Mom's medals and trophies, and everything came crashing down.
106
Mom heard the noise and came running.
107
Oh my God, what have you done?
108
I worked 850 hours every week to earn these.
109
Oh wow, you did all that and they only gave you this junk?
110
That's sad.
111
Who is this stupid girl and why is she in my house?
112
Allow me to introduce myself.
113
I'm Daisy, Clover's best friend.
114
And you must be your grandma, right?
115
Listen, Grandma, I know you're very hurt that we broke these ugly old trophies, but in my defense, I was being chased by this cute but very ferocious dog,
116
and I just happened to bump into the shelf.
117
Daisy, she's my mom.
118
Oh, so you're the dragon lady?
119
She doesn't mean that, Mom.
120
We're really sorry for breaking your stuff, but it was a genuine mistake.
121
I'm getting tired of your genuine mistakes, Clover.
122
Now clear this mess up, and I never want to see this girl in my house again.
123
Am I clear?
124
After that day, Daisy was banned from my house, which made me so mad.
125
It's not like that was going to stop me from hanging out with her.
126
Soon, it was time to fill out my college applications.
127
I wanted to apply for a design school, but Mom was on my tail to apply for a science program, And we were arguing every day.
128
So one night, when Daisy invited me to hang out with her at this new amusement park, I decided to go because I could really use some fun.
129
But ten minutes into it, I got a frantic call from Mom saying that someone had broken into our home.
130
I immediately took a cab back home and found Mom standing on the porch with Bonnie.
131
Are you okay?
132
We're fine, thanks to Bonnie.
133
I was getting dinner ready when she started barking.
134
And then, I saw this guy jumping off the backyard fence, so I called the police.
135
I kept screaming for you, but you weren't in your room.
136
Where were you?
137
I was hanging out with Daisy, but that's not important.
138
Really?
139
Just like it's not important to tell your mom that you applied for a design school?
140
I got your acceptance letter in the mail today.
141
I got accepted?
142
Why didn't you tell me?
143
Because you're not going.
144
You will go to a science college like I did.
145
Now, I've already spoken to the dean of Harvard, and he's ready to slide a few grades if you do well in your first year in college.
146
But I want to go to design school.
147
I'm good at this.
148
Even Daisy...
149
Do you think I care what Daisy says?
150
Also, you should stay away from her.
151
A lady in the neighborhood was telling me she'd heard Daisy's dad is known to be involved in some shady business deals.
152
She's a bad influence on you.
153
Of course you don't approve of Daisy.
154
How could you approve of anyone who makes me happy?
155
First Aunt Lydia, now Daisy?
156
That's not fair, Clover.
157
Yes, it is.
158
Just like it's fair enough to choose my own career path.
159
I want to study design, so that's what I'll do.
160
Saying that, I grabbed Bonnie's leash and walked outside.
161
I kept walking till I cooled down, and when I stopped, I realized I was in some unknown street.
162
I was trying to figure out my way back, when suddenly, this car stopped out of nowhere, pushed me away, grabbed Bonnie, and left!
163
I ran after the car, screaming for help, when I turned a corner and banged right into something, and I fell and passed out!
164
When I woke up, I was in my room, with Mom and Daisy staring in my face.
165
What happened?
166
What is Daisy doing here?
167
She's the one who found you passed out in front of your school.
168
What were you doing there?
169
My school?
170
But I remember being out on a walk with Bonnie, and then we got lost.
171
Oh my god, Bonnie!
172
Someone kidnapped her!
173
I have to find her!
174
No, we'll have to rest!
175
You're in shock!
176
And as for Bonnie, I'll talk to my dad.
177
I told you he's a lawyer, right?
178
He has friends in the police department who can help!
179
Daisy spoke to her dad, and we filed an official complaint.
180
But a whole week went by, and we got no leads.
181
I even reached out to my older clients and posted on my vlog, but that didn't work either.
182
I was running out of time and patience, so I decided to speak to Daisy if she could ask her dad to fast track the case.
183
But when I called her she didn't answer her phone
184
So I went to her place when I saw a huge truck parked outside
185
and people were moving furniture from inside the house I got closer trying to figure out what was happening
186
when I heard a low growling I looked around and figured
187
that the noise was coming from one of the crates covered with a huge cloth I lifted the cloth
188
and inside was Bonnie and a few other dogs that looked just like her Bonnie saw me and started barking, and then someone sprayed something in my face.
189
Suddenly, my head started spinning, and everything went black.
190
When I woke up, I was in the basement, tied to a pole, with Daisy sitting in front of me.
191
Oh my god, what's happening, Daisy?
192
Why am I here?
193
Let me go!
194
You talk so much, you're giving me a migraine.
195
Blah, blah, blah.
196
That's what you told me in class that day, remember?
197
I wanted to punch your face, but I couldn't, because I needed you to get close to Bonnie. But why?
198
That's when Daisy told me how a couple of months back, her dad made a couple of bad investments and lost all their family money.
199
They lost our house, status, everything.
200
Dad took this huge loan from a crazy mafia lady to start a new business, but that didn't work either.
201
I guess he's just stupid anyway.
202
Now this mafia lady wants her money back, but obviously, we don't have any.
203
So she gave us this crazy challenge to get her all these Pomeranian puppies.
204
Apparently, these lay bags are worth a lot.
205
Also, they're super rare.
206
But what does this mafia lady want these dogs for?
207
Make a coat or something?
208
Or is she just obsessed with puppies?
209
How the heck am I supposed to know?
210
We managed to get a few of them.
211
But when I saw Bonnie on your vlog, I just knew I had to add her to the collection.
212
So I came here, fooled you into being my friend, and waited for the right time to take Bonnie.
213
I would have gotten to her way sooner, but this stupid dog almost bit my dad.
214
He had to jump off the fence and he broke his knee.
215
He's been limping ever since.
216
So it was your dad who broke into my house that night.
217
How could I have been so blind to have trusted a snake like you?
218
No clue.
219
Guess you're as stupid as my dad.
220
Told you I'm funny.
221
That's not funny.
222
I turned around and saw Mom standing in the doorway along with Bonnie and a few policemen.
223
I always knew you were trouble.
224
Daisy growled at my mom before the police handcuffed her and dragged her away.
225
As Mom untied me, Bonnie jumped in my lap and started licking my face.
226
How did you find me, Mom?
227
After Bonnie's kidnapping, I got paranoid and installed this tracking app on your phone.
228
What?
229
Relax.
230
I didn't see you in your room, so I thought you might be at Daisy's.
231
I'm so sorry, Mom.
232
I should have taken your advice and never trusted her blindly.
233
The truth is, you trusted Daisy because she showed faith in you.
234
Which I never did.
235
And I'm really sorry.
236
I've decided I'm sending you to Lydia next month.
237
Her business is growing and she could use an extra hand.
238
Really?
239
I love you, Mom.
240
You're the best.
241
Thank you.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
