1
I didn't have the grades to graduate, was accused of vandalism, saved someone from drowning, and got arrested.
2
All in the same week.
3
But before I get ahead of myself.
4
Hi, I'm Maya from California.

Please like and subscribe.
6
Ever since I can remember, swimming was my happy place.
7
When I was three, my love of all things aquatic got a little awkward from my parents, who had to keep pulling me out of mall fountains, bird paths, and koi ponds.
8
Excuse me, adults.
9
If you put those signs up and I'm too young to read them, do you see where I'm going with this?
10
By the age of 13, the only job I ever dreamed about was becoming a lifeguard.
11
Being around water, saving people, and hot guys in swimsuits was not to love.
12
But on dry land, that's a whole different story.
13
You see, I was not the greatest student, and my mortal enemy was math.
14
Then my dad got a promotion, and we moved into an apartment in the city.
15
And I had to start my senior year at a brand new school.
16
Seriously, Dad, I had just spent the last year sucking up to all my teachers
17
so they would grade me on a generous curve.
18
Where's the respect for all my hard work?
19
Life wasn't any different there.
20
But like divine intervention, I looked up and saw my favorite four -letter word.
21
Okay, seriously, you guys, I know at least half of you just thought of a word
22
that would get you grounded if you said it out loud.
23
I only planned to swim for a few minutes, but I was startled by a gorgeous boy.
24
I said, what are you doing in my pool?
25
Oh, I'm sorry.
26
I thought this was the school pool.
27
School pool.
28
That's funny, get it?
29
Because it rhymes.
30
I get it.
31
It's just not funny.
32
And it's my pool because my family paid for it.
33
He pointed to the plaque on the wall with his family name and under it a sign.
34
I'm Sebastian Monroe III, and if I catch you in here again, I'll have you arrested.
35
Arrested?
36
That's a bit dramatic.
37
Did you think I was going to pee in the pool or something?
38
I'm Maya, by the way.
39
I realized I was talking to myself because he had already left.
40
He had the manners of a goat, and that's an insult to goats.
41
I don't get it.
42
Even if his family paid for the pool, it's still the school pool.
43
I have to be on the swim team and prove to him that I'm better than him.
44
I made the team, of course, and beating Sebastian's top score was just the icing on the cake.
45
So I dominated any competition I was in.
46
I figured Sebastian must have told one of his goon buddies
47
to try to scare me for tearing it up on the swim team
48
because I noticed this nerdy -looking guy lurking outside the school.
49
I tried to approach him, but he was a tricky little thing and got away.
50
Was Sebastian trying to have me stalked? Or disappeared?
51
Okay, now I'm being dramatic.
52
You guys ever feel like your mind plays tricks on you because you've watched too many crime movies?
53
I walked back into school and saw something I did not expect.
54
Sebastian was leaning against my locker, looking so handsome, but I kept my cool.
55
Your team wins again.
56
If I had known you were part mermaid, I might not have given you such a hard time.
57
Oh, thank goodness.
58
I was wondering how I would go on living without your approval.
59
Now excuse me, I need to get to my locker.
60
I'll only move if you agree to go out with me.
61
It figures.
62
The only way you could get a date is with blackmail.
63
Okay, I deserved that.
64
But I am trying to make up for being such a jerk to you.
65
I really like you.
66
And I was listening when you introduced yourself, Maya.
67
He leaned in close to me, put his head on my shoulder, and looked up at me.
68
Look, I'm trying to be cute and vulnerable.
69
You guys ever fall for that guy who makes you think, Sure, he's a bad boy, but he'll change for me.
70
I guess even you deserve a second chance.
71
Awesome.
72
Where do you want to go?
73
I have this sudden craving for ice cream.
74
He took me to an upscale dessert place and ordered one of everything.
75
He was charming, and I was falling for him like an apple off an Isaac Newton's tree.
76
Oh, hey, I guess I did learn something in class.
77
I thought things are starting to look up.
78
But what do they say about looking up?
79
That's when you trip and faceplate.
80
Yep, I failed my second test.
81
One more and I would get kicked off the swim team.
82
I went to sweet -talk the coach, but unfortunately he was allergic to my charm.
83
Thankfully my parents hired an amazing tutor, Lucy, who knew how to keep me awake, unlike others who snored or were more interested in snacking.
84
And before I knew it, I was doing better on my tests and even got a B+.
85
And by the way, this Lucy is awesome.
86
But unfortunately, the story isn't about her.
87
But please know she's amazing.
88
Maybe I should tell her story one day.
89
Don't you agree, guys?
90
Also to review, I was dating the hottest guy in school and crushing classes and the swim team.
91
That nerdy guy was still popping up at school.
92
And now that Sebastian and I were dating, I knew he wasn't behind it.
93
So I asked.. him oh he's probably smitten with you too bad you're taken
94
but i can't stop thinking about it you just need a distraction i'm serious sebastian what
95
if he's he interrupted my rant with a kiss
96
if he's what i was so charmed by his kiss
97
that i forgot what i was saying uh he who well played sebastian the third well played after school
98
that day i came home and there was a package at my front door.
99
No return address, just my name on it.
100
I was so excited, it must have been Sebastian surprising me with something wonderful.
101
But when I opened it, the worst smell filled the room.
102
It was a bag of poop.
103
My parents called the police, but they said nothing could be done because there was no one to trace it back to.
104
I made a list of people I thought it could be, like Amy, whom I told her boyfriend she had kissed someone else.
105
And Tony, who I totally exposed his crush on our teacher.
106
But that creepy nerdy guy was the number one suspect.
107
I showed it to Sebastian the next day at school.
108
Babe, I'm telling you, it's some girl at school that's jealous of you because you're dating me.
109
Wow.
110
Did the school give you an extra locker for that ego?
111
It's not an ego if it's the truth.
112
Don't worry, I'll protect you.
113
Besides, I have a romantic date planned for us that will take your mind off of all this.
114
I'll pick you up at your house at 7." I decided to focus on our date
115
and get creepy nerd guy off my brain.
116
I jumped in my closet for some great chimichus to go with my dress
117
and started to wonder where Sebastian would take me.
118
But he never showed.
119
I called and texted.
120
Nothing.
121
I was really worried and rushed over to his house.
122
When I showed up, there were police cars everywhere and my heart sank like the Titanic thinking something had happened to Sebastian.
123
Until I saw him standing next to his car.
124
Sebastian!
125
Oh, thank God you're okay.
126
Then I noticed his car.
127
Someone had spray painted Sebastian is a loser.
128
He can't swim.
129
My parents think you did this.
130
All that misspelling?
131
Well, that's just insulting.
132
I'm bad at math, not English.
133
If you're gonna try to frame someone, do your homework.
134
Just as I was about to defend myself, his mom rushed toward me.
135
Is this the monster who did this to my baby.
136
Well, you're lucky there isn't enough evidence to arrest you or you would spend the rest of your life in jail.
137
Oh, Sebastian, why do you insist on living that low lifestyle?
138
I mean, does it even know about personal hygiene?
139
She walked off in a huff and I was stunned and hurt.
140
I went to Sebastian for comfort, but instead he yelled loud enough for his parents to hear.
141
I don't care how cute you think it was.
142
We're over.
143
You know I would never do this.
144
It must be that creepy guy.
145
But he just walked away.
146
What just happened?
147
How could he not believe me?
148
I ran away with tears in my eyes and spent the whole night eating half of the world's junk food.
149
The next day at school, Sebastian met me with a big hug and a romantic kiss.
150
Like, everything was normal.
151
How many personalities am I dating?
152
Sorry about the show last night, babe.
153
It was just to get my parents off my back.
154
You know how parents are.
155
We'll just have to keep our love a secret for a while, and then I will fix everything.
156
Trust me.
157
But you were so mean to me, and you let everyone believe I would do that.
158
Well, yeah, of course.
159
And I did it all for you.
160
I didn't want my mom to get you kicked off the swim team.
161
I was relieved.
162
He really did care about me.
163
I wasn't thrilled about the way he did it, but you know, boys aren't that bright, and he probably did the best he could.
164
Besides, what do you care about what my parents think?
165
You have me, and that's all that matters.
166
Let's just focus on the senior beach bash tonight and forget them.
167
Well, I have been looking forward to this all year, so I'll meet you there.
168
Once I arrived, I could hear music blasting and see a huge campfire.
169
Sebastian was waiting at the gate for me, but I noticed there was a padlock at the entrance.
170
Come this way.
171
We have to go through the tear in the fence.
172
I'm a little nervous about this.
173
Are you sure we're not breaking the law?
174
What's the big deal?
175
Everyone else is already there.
176
Besides, do you see any signs telling us to stay out?
177
Well, against my better judgment, I agreed.
178
We had fun, and he danced around like a reject from America's Got Talent, but he was cute.
179
Halfway through the night, Sebastian disappeared.
180
I asked if anyone had seen him, and someone said he went to get some pizzas.
181
I was thinking how weird it was that he didn't tell me.
182
Like, my boyfriend had ghosted me.
183
I just wanted to go home.
184
Suddenly, a guy screamed that some girl had fallen into the water and was sinking.
185
I knew I could swim faster than I could run.
186
Acting quickly, I tore off the bottom of my dress so it wouldn't weigh me down and dove in.
187
It was cold, but all I kept thinking was that I had to save her.
188
I reached her in minutes and swam her to shore.
189
Her boyfriend thanked me a thousand times, and I could feel their love for each other as her boyfriend embraced me her in turn.
190
I was so tired that I laid down on the sand.
191
My teeth were chattering when someone wrapped the jacket around my shoulders from behind.
192
Are you okay?
193
That was some pretty heroic stuff.
194
It was the creepy nerdy guy.
195
You!
196
Why are you following me?
197
Did you send me that poop?
198
What are you even doing here?
199
My interrogation was rudely interrupted by the police showing up and arresting everyone for trespassing.
200
I knew sneaking through a hole in a fence was shady.
201
When we were at the police station waiting for our parents, I saw that guy again.
202
I ran up to confront him.
203
I don't know what your weird fascination is with me, but I'm only gonna warn you once.
204
Stay away.
205
I understand you might think that, but I wasn't following you.
206
I've been following your boyfriend Sebastian.
207
Sebastian?
208
Uh, you have a crush on Sebastian?
209
No, but I was, in a way, stalking him.
210
Did you notice that your boyfriend managed to disappear before the police came?
211
I really wanted to argue with him, but he was right.
212
Where the heck was Sebastian?
213
I was released, but my parents were so disappointed.
214
And worst of all, Sebastian was nowhere to be found.
215
I even went to his house when I knew his parents were out, but he wasn't there either.
216
But I saw that creepy guy again.
217
Where is he?
218
And what's the drama?
219
Start explaining.
220
Actually, I found out he's in hiding because he was the one who called the police.
221
Then he showed me pictures on his phone of sebastian making a call at the beach well
222
that doesn't prove anything
223
and you still haven't said why you are stalking him i do freelance work for a tabloid magazine
224
and they pay big bucks for any dirt on millionaire playboys well listen here stalkerazzi albert fine albert
225
when sebastian shows up he will have an explanation for all of this
226
and what will his explanation be for taking down the no
227
trespassing signs at the beach sending you a box of poop
228
or vandalizing his own car just to get a new car by making you feel bad
229
and did you know he also switched your test
230
so you would fail what are you talking about he showed
231
me everything i was crushed how could i have fallen for
232
such an evil mastermind i have all the photos saved to
233
this usb to give to my editor tonight then out of nowhere sebastian ripped the usb out of albert's hand
234
and swallowed it
235
and now it's my word against yours i thought the next
236
time i saw him i would run to his arms but instead Instead, I slapped him.
237
I pinned him against the wall, but Albert held me back before I could slap him again.
238
You might be rich, but you could be outsmarted by a box of hair.
239
You do know they are still on the cloud, right?
240
I think I'm gonna be sick.
241
Well, that's not how I wanted to get my USB back.
242
You know, you've got some pretty strong arms under that nerdy exterior.
243
Albert showed the pictures to the police, and Sebastian went to jail.
244
It turns out Sebastian was just a spoiled brat who wanted to get even with me for bruising his ego.
245
Apparently his friends laughed at him when I kicked his butt on the swim team.
246
Get a life, dude.
247
I'm sorry if I creeped you out with all the sneaking around.
248
It was kind of weird, but I'm sorry I was quick to judge you.
249
Thank you for coming to my rescue.
250
He may not have been as good -looking as Sebastian, but as I stared into his eyes, I could see he was so thoughtful and kind, and that was way more attractive.
251
Yep, I think I'm gonna date this guy.
252
But I have to end the story for now.
253
Sorry, guys.
254
Be careful who you call your boyfriends.
255
That's my advice.
256
See ya!

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
