Hi, I'm Edith from Ohio.
2
Yeah, I know I sound like an 80-year-old woman.
3
My dad was very close to his great-grandmother, and he insisted that his first child would be named after her.
4
Unfortunately, that's me.
5
Also, as you can see, I'm in a wheelchair.
6
I had a spinal injury when I was little, and I don't even remember what it's like to walk.
7
So if you want to feel bad for me, it should only be because of my name.
8
Before I continue, please like and subscribe.
9
After me came my sisters, Louisa, Isabel, and Celine.
10
Their names are pretty because mom chose them.
11
We lived in a kind of poor household in a small town, with parents who were galaxies apart.
12
My dad was a neuroscientist who lived in our basement.
13
He was convinced he was on to some groundbreaking research that would win him the Nobel Prize.
14
But every year, his research got rejected.
15
It had almost become a metaphor in our town.
16
It'll rain today, I'm sure of it.
17
As sure as Mr. Arnstein getting rejected again.
18
Ugh, my son has failed 10th grade again.
19
He's really pulling a Mr. Arnstein on us.
20
Those comments made me so mad.
21
No one was as smart or hardworking as my dad.
22
Mom, on the other hand, was pretty and vain.
23
She never met a reflective surface she didn't like.
24
All she'd ever wanted was a fancy life, so she reminded dad of his failures every day.
25
When I met you, you made me believe you were freaking Einstein.
26
I thought we'd be rich by now.
27
Can't you discover gravity or something already?
28
Like, really, how hard is it?
29
I might figure out all the mysteries of the universe before I understand why I asked you to marry me.
30
Ugh, I was such a fool the day I said yes.
31
Not much has changed since.
32
Mom unhappily ran a small flower shop to make ends meet.
33
As the eldest, I wanted to make things easier for both my parents.
34
I was a model student, and I tried helping out at home by making my sisters responsible.
35
It worked when they were younger, but they were growing up to be useless.
36
Especially my second sister, Louisa, who was a lot like mom.
37
She was pretty, but apparently her nose wasn't rich-looking enough.
38
What does that even mean, girl?
39
I've got this flat button nose, and rich people have cute upturned noses.
40
Ah, okay, gotcha.
41
They look like they can smell cow dung all the time.
42
Exactly.
43
She would sleep with a clothespin on her nose, hoping it would turn upwards.
44
She'd also poke her cheek with a pencil while doing her homework, thinking if she did that every day, she might get a cute dimple.
45
Such a moron.
46
The other two weren't much better.
47
Isabelle wanted to be a dancer, and I've never met anyone so uncoordinated.
48
Celine was also super untalented, but she kept trying new things all the time, hoping to find her true calling soon.
49
No one prayed harder than me that it would be really soon.
50
Luckily, I'd inherited dad's brains, and in the 11th grade, I got a scholarship into a private school that would open up great opportunities for college.
51
You've always been my favorite for a reason, darling.
52
I know you'll do amazing things one day.
53
I know you will too, Dad.
54
I was really excited to start school until disaster struck, and my crazy family was to blame entirely for it.
55
A week before, Mom came home really excited one day because she'd received a huge order for flowers at a rich client's house.
56
And the minute my sisters heard that, they were dying to go with Mom to help her.
57
Dad was out of town, and I'd just settled in for a peaceful evening by myself when I got a frantic call from Isabel.
58
Edith, I'm at the police station.
59
Mom and Louisa are going to jail.
60
What?
61
What do you mean they're going to jail?
62
Louisa stole a necklace from the rich lady's room and got caught.
63
Mom begged and cried, but the lady called the police.
64
Please, you have to go talk to her.
65
Ugh, Louisa was such a pain.
66
Isabelle sent me the lady's location pin, and I took the bus to this massive mansion.
67
I was asked to wait in the main hall, and I just couldn't resist taking a spin on the marble floors.
68
But suddenly, I lost control of my wheelchair and went crashing into the center table, which sent a huge fishbowl to the ground, which made the servants running in slip on the water and land on their butts.
69
Oopsie-tasey.
70
Soon, I was in the library, facing the snooty owner and her carbon-copy snooty daughter.
71
Who are you, and what are you doing in my house?
72
Again, so sorry for the damage.
73
I'd love to repay you, but my parents are poor, so I can't.
74
Speaking of parents...
75
Actually, my mom is the flower lady who came here today, and the girl who took something from you is my, um, sister?
76
What?
77
You're related to those thieves?
78
Louisa's mentally unstable, I swear.
79
And some days, she just refuses to take her meds.
80
Please, please don't send them to jail.
81
What will I do without my mom, given my condition?
82
This is very distressing, and the doctors have told me stress is really bad for me.
83
The lady didn't look happy, but she called the police station and asked for Mom and Louisa to be released.
84
I thanked them profusely, and just as I was leaving, I ran into a school bag lying on the floor, knocking over its contents.
85
Do you even know how to use that thing?
86
You should take driving classes or something.
87
I apologized and left, but I was horrified.
88
This girl was going to the same school I'd just gotten into.
89
How has my life suddenly become so complicated?
90
Oh, I'll tell you.
91
It's because Miss Kleptomaniac here decided to steal, and I had to save her greedy butt.
92
And now I have to go to school with this snooty girl who thinks I'm from a family of thieves.
93
Oh, what a great start.
94
Edith, are you done with this useless family meeting?
95
Louisa and I have had a very tough day, and we need our beauty sleep.
96
Maybe the girl won't remember who you are.
97
Fingers crossed.
98
Yeah, right.
99
In fact, as luck would have it, that girl and I were in the same class.
100
Her name was Haley, and the minute she saw me, her face went from shock to a wide grin.
101
Uh-oh.
102
And soon, Haley became my arch-nemesis.
103
Apparently, she was the smartest kid in class till I turned up.
104
She was also beautiful and wealthy, and she was dating the star basketball player Cody.
105
And Cody was fine.
106
But Haley still didn't like being knocked off the number one student spot.
107
How about we make a deal, Edith?
108
You can act a little less smart in class, and I won't tell everyone how we really know each other.
109
I won't be doing that, thanks.
110
I can make your life miserable, you know.
111
You really want to make the wheelchair girl's life miserable?
112
How would it make you look if I started telling people you're bullying me?
113
It'll tank your popularity.
114
and you might even get suspended or worse.
115
And Haley knew I was right.
116
We just never got along and continued to compete in class.
117
I always got the highest marks in subjects like math and physics, but she beat me in history and literature.
118
She knew she couldn't openly bother me, but she tried in sneakier ways.
119
Like one morning when I wheeled into literature class, our teacher, Miss Agatha, was looking furious and everyone was staring at me.
120
And that's when I saw the chalkboard.
121
On the lower half, it said, Ms. Agatha should change her name because she is not cool like Agatha Christie.
122
In fact, she is dull and ugly and stupid.
123
I think she was a toad in another life.
124
She is- It went on and on, and the lovely cursive handwriting was unmistakably mine.
125
Okay, I know what this looks like, but I really didn't do this.
126
Detention for a week.
127
Ugh, this Haley was good.
128
She'd copied my handwriting to perfection.
129
I didn't take her prank sitting down, though.
130
Well, I'm always sitting down, but you know what I mean.
131
I just had a lot of accidents around her.
132
Oops, sorry, lost control.
133
That jacket looks new, huh?
134
Sorry, Sorry, I just didn't see your toes.
135
You have really tiny feet, Haley.
136
Then one day, our principal came to class to tell us about a statewide competition for which one student would be chosen from the school, and all interested candidates had to sit for a test.
137
Also, I should add that the winner of the competition will get a full scholarship to any university of their choice.
138
This was a chance to make all my dreams come true.
139
I spent countless hours studying for the test.
140
I knew Haley was preparing for it, too, even though she didn't need a scholarship.
141
It was just an attempt to beat me.
142
The test was tough, but I did my best.
143
And guess what?
144
It was good enough.
145
I managed to come out on top, and I was over the moon.
146
But there was one problem.
147
The competition required a big entry fee, and I had to travel to another town and cover those expenses too.
148
I wanted to ask my parents for help, but that evening, I heard a huge fight between them over money, and I just couldn't.
149
I wasn't giving up, though, not after coming this far.
150
So I decided to sell tacos in the school cafeteria because seriously, I make the world's best tacos.
151
I could cover the cost of ingredients and I just needed to sell enough for two weeks to collect the amount I needed.
152
I set up a little taco corner in the cafeteria and they were an instant hit.
153
My tacos were selling like hotcakes till the awful lunch ladies in the cafeteria reported me to the principal.
154
And I was informed that I couldn't sell food on school premises.
155
So the next day, as soon as school ended, I was ready with my taco stall right outside the school gate.
156
Technically not on school premises, so no one could say anything to me.
157
Even some friends joined me in selling them, and the first few days, things were going great.
158
But suddenly, things started going very wrong.
159
Students started getting sick in school with similar symptoms, and parents poured in with complaints.
160
The principal launched an investigation, and it wasn't long before they discovered the problem.
161
My tacos!
162
I was suspended for two weeks, but worse than that, Haley was chosen for the competition instead.
163
And I was devastated.
164
I didn't even tell anyone at home I was suspended.
165
They all thought I had spring break.
166
But three days later, the most unlikely thing happened.
167
Cody, Haley's boyfriend, came to visit me at home.
168
Um, hello.
169
I'm Cody from school.
170
I came to see if you were doing okay.
171
Oh, wow.
172
You're welcome.
173
You too.
174
What?
175
Can I come in?
176
Or are you busy?
177
No, no. I'm not busy.
178
I mean, yes, I am busy.
179
Actually, there's an avocado that's going bad, and I need to make some guacamole.
180
But it can wait a bit longer.
181
Not too long, though.
182
What was I even saying?
183
And that afternoon, Cody told me that Haley had sabotaged my taco business.
184
She'd mentioned something about bringing you down, and I thought she was kidding.
185
She got someone to mix something into your food, which made everyone sick.
186
I am so sorry.
187
I couldn't believe that someone could be so heartless, and there was nothing I could even do about it.
188
And I just started to cry.
189
There'll be other chances, Edith.
190
And I can't believe you started a business and made that much money.
191
You're really cool and brave.
192
After that, Cody started visiting regularly during my suspension, and we'd have fun and joke around.
193
He really made me feel seen, and we could talk about anything.
194
Do you feel people act weird around you sometimes?
195
Yeah, most people get so awkward when they see a wheelchair.
196
Like, they don't know if they need to express sympathy or if they should just ignore it completely.
197
But really, I'm fine, and I just want people to act normal.
198
Do you wish you could walk someday?
199
More than anything in the world, I dream about it all the time.
200
Cody pressed my hand and smiled warmly, and my heart fluttered.
201
And when I went back inside, my stupid sisters were waiting for me with huge grins.
202
You like him.
203
You wanna hug him.
204
You wanna kiss him.
205
You wanna...
206
Shut up, Louisa.
207
He's just a friend.
208
You may be book smart, but you don't know the first thing about boys.
209
He's not coming over every day because he likes you as a friend.
210
And if you're not interested in dating him, I can.
211
I mean, it would be a crime to let this rich, yummy boy go.
212
Shut up, Louisa.
213
He's mine.
214
When my suspension ended, I was back to school ready to work hard again.
215
Actually, I was looking forward to seeing Cody more than anything, but to my disappointment, I found him right next to Hayley.
216
I gave him a small wave, and he just looked away.
217
Well, I guess things were back to normal.
218
Cody had just felt bad for me, and he tried to make me feel better.
219
He was still gonna choose Hayley because she was everything a guy could want.
220
Soon enough, the spring dance was on everyone's mind, but I wasn't even thinking about it till one day in the cafeteria, I was reading by myself when Cody sat and joined me.
221
Edith, I'm sorry I've been avoiding Will you go to the spring dance with me?
222
What?
223
But what about Haley?
224
You, you stole my boyfriend.
225
You act like this poor little wheelchair girl, but you're so cunning.
226
And I'm done keeping your stupid little secret too.
227
Hey, everyone.
228
Did Edith ever tell you that her sister's a thief who stole something from my house?
229
Who knows?
230
Maybe dishonesty runs in the family.
231
And Edith's lying, and she can't actually walk.
232
That's enough.
233
I broke up with you because I don't love you, Haley.
234
Please, just back off and stop spreading lies lies about Edith.
235
No one's buying them.
236
Least of all me.
237
Haley stared at us furiously, then screamed and stormed off.
238
So, where were we?
239
Oh yeah, the spring dance.
240
Go with me.
241
Since you're desperate.
242
Sure.
243
We had an amazing time dancing away.
244
And then we went out for a breather and shared our first kiss.
245
Well, my first kiss ever.
246
And it was magical.
247
But when I got back home, I found dad in the lounge in tears.
248
Dad, what's wrong?
249
Are you okay?
250
I'm more than okay, honey.
251
I just won a huge research grant.
252
Oh my god, I knew you'd do it.
253
I'm so proud of you.
254
What's your research about?
255
It's about you.
256
It's all I've been working on for years, and I couldn't give up.
257
You never lost complete sensation in your feet, Edith, and I've been working on developing a machine that can get you walking again.
258
I don't want to raise your hopes too high, but it's a very real possibility, and we have the money to try it out.
259
Dad, I can't believe you did this for me.
260
Even if it all doesn't go to plan, this means everything.
261
Well, long story short, I was one of dad's subjects, and within two months, he got me to stand on my own two feet.
262
A baby couldn't be prouder of his first steps than I was, and all of my mom's and sister's dreams came true too.
263
We moved to a much bigger house with much fancier things, and mom didn't have to work anymore.
264
I knew I always made the right choice marrying you, Mr. Arnstein.
265
I'm still wondering why I married you, but let's not argue anymore, dear.

연습 팁
이번 비디오는 Edith의 독특한 이야기와 감정이 실린 약간의 유머가 가미된 톤으로 진행됩니다. shadowing 연습을 통해 그녀의 말투와 발음을 따라서 연습해보세요. 속도가 약간 느리므로 처음에는 천천히 따라하고, 점차적으로 그녀의 속도에 맞춰 연습해 보십시오. shadowspeak 기법을 활용하면 조금 더 자연스러운 발음을 얻을 수 있습니다. 여러 번 반복하면서 자신만의 발음 스타일을 만들어 보세요. 영어 발음 교정에도 큰 도움이 될 것입니다.
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.
