Don't look at me that way. With sympathy? With pity.
110
I wasn't.
111
Rachel...
112
Listen to me.
113
There are other schools...
114
Don't.
115
Yeah, I won't.
116
It wasn't that I wasn't good enough.
117
I know that.
118
It was Louis.
119
What?
120
The interviewer.
121
Uh, apparently she and Louis had a history and...
122
Wait, she didn't let you in because of him?
123
That's...
124
I know.
125
...not right.
126
I know.
127
Tell me about the day you found out.
128
Rachel, come on.
129
No. I need to hear how it felt from someone who got in, because I'll...
130
I'll never hear that from myself.
131
You're looking at me like that again.
132
I'm not.
133
Then what?
134
It's.. it's just not right.
135
Yeah.
136
Whatever it is, I'm not in the mood.
137
I know about Rachel and Sheila at Harvard.
138
How?
139
Rachel told me.
140
She wants me to send this letter going over Sheila's head, but it can't come from me.
141
Yeah, it can't come from anyone.
142
She didn't get in because they didn't think she was good enough.
143
You lied to her.
144
No, I never lied to her.
145
I told her she was good enough, which she is, but I let her down because I couldn't persuade Sheila, which is the truth.
146
Louis, you have to tell her the real truth.
147
Like, I saw the look on her face and I took it away.
148
I do not want to put it back.
149
She is gonna pursue this.
150
She's gonna find out one way or the other.
151
I'm not gonna let her find out from Harvard.
152
I can't tell her.
153
You'll regret it.
154
Look, I'll give you another day to think about it, but after that, I have to tell her myself.
155
I mean, so look, I'm sorry, but I am not...
156
When did you send that letter?
157
Um, I was, uh...
158
I'll tell you when.
159
Never.
160
Okay, look, let me explain.
161
When I went to see Louis, he told me what really happened.
162
I know.
163
He told me to.
164
And I get it.
165
I'm not good enough.
166
What I don't get, Mike, is why you didn't have the courage and tell me that yourself.
167
Look, he lied to you.
168
I thought he deserved the chance to tell you himself, all right?
169
When I went to his office to get him to sign the letter, I...
170
Wait.
171
You went to him to sign the letter?
172
You told me you were gonna sign the letter.
173
No. So you lied to me.
174
No, I didn't.
175
I told you that I would help you.
176
That is such bull .
177
That's not what you meant, and you know it.
178
You've been cagey with me since the second I came to you about the letter, and you're being cagey with me right now.
179
You are.
180
You're lying to me.
181
Not today.
182
Rachel, please stop.
183
Then what day, Mike?
184
Because it's always something.
185
It is always some secret or some story or some lie.
186
You don't understand.
187
I don't understand why.
188
You don't understand what I have been through.
189
You don't understand what I have lost.
190
Because it's everything.
191
Everyone that I love.
192
Trevor, my grandmother, Harvey, now probably this job.
193
I am not ready to lose you.
194
Not today.
195
Then tell me.
196
I never went to Harvard.
197
What?
198
I'm a fraud.
199
Rachel.
200
Rachel.
201
I'm sorry.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
