Hey, I'm Iris from Atlanta, and I'm a triplet.

3
While mom was pregnant, she was told by the doctor that she was having twins.
4
But I popped out right after my brother, making three of us.
5
Illyana, Isaac, and me.
6
Dad wasn't around for most of our childhood.
7
He was the assistant vice president at a huge music production company, and was always busy with some meeting or event.
8
But mom showered us with love and attention.
9
She would sing upbeat songs in the morning and hum soothing lullabies each night.
10
Plus, she bought us whatever we wanted with dad's money.
11
One of my earliest memories was when she gifted us with a karaoke machine as kids.
12
The three of us sang all the time, and mom never got annoyed.
13
Encore!
14
Encore!
15
Sometimes she would join in too.
16
She had a great voice.
17
By eight, my siblings and I were called the Turner Threes, and we had some serious musical talents.
18
Ileana could sing just like mom.
19
Isaac played great riffs on the guitar, and I rocked out on the drums.
20
One day, the live band that was hired to play at our parents' anniversary party canceled at the last minute.
21
Mom suggested we play, and we did.
22
It was awesome.
23
Soon, the Turner Threes were playing at all the family events.
24
Things stayed pretty entertaining throughout middle school, but then life took an unexpected turn during our freshman year of high school, one day, Ileana, Isaac, and I were relaxing by the pool when we heard a loud thud inside the house.
25
We found mom unconscious on the floor.
26
It turned out that she had a stroke and would need at least three months to recover.
27
Then, dad lost his job shortly after.
28
The company he worked for lost a massive copyright infringement lawsuit.
29
Dad needed to find work soon to pay for mom's medical bills and keep the roof over our heads.
30
He took up the first job he could find, freelancing as an agent for local musicians.
31
One evening, Dad invited a client over for a business meeting who overheard the three of us practicing our music.
32
I heard him ask Dad about the music coming from down the hall.
33
My kids have a band thing just for family events.
34
The client requested to hear more of our songs and suggested Dad help us book bigger shows.
35
They're pretty good.
36
If you set up their career now, they'll have some real financial independence in the future.
37
For the first time, Dad took interest in our music and took his clients' advice.
38
And soon we were playing at cafes, restaurants, and private events.
39
We weren't making much, but it was a start.
40
Dad didn't have the same positive attitude, though, especially as Mom's recovery was taking a while.
41
The bills were never-ending, and his savings were running low.
42
He was always in a sour mood and fell into a deep depression.
43
But despite her health issues, Mom kept cheering us on.
44
Keep playing.
45
Keep sharing your talent.
46
So we stayed consistent.
47
Thankfully, by our junior year of high school, the Turner 3's got more popular.
48
We had enough gigs to keep the house and help mom medically, but dad was so depressed that he stopped work altogether.
49
He barely left his man cave.
50
Halfway through the school year, extracurricular activities began taking up a lot of time.
51
Ileana excelled in her studies and joined the AP Physics Club to get a head start on college credit.
52
Isaac was naturally gifted at baseball and became co-captain.
53
And I was one of the best actresses in the theater class.
54
Oh, Happy Dagger, this is thy sheath.
55
It was getting harder trying to balance school, shows, and home finances, and it seemed like the Turner 3's differences were splitting us apart.
56
I think you should sing at a higher pitch.
57
Baseball puns?
58
Seriously?
59
I don't need advice from you.
60
This band would be nothing without me.
61
You're not that special, Ileana.
62
I have mom's voice.
63
What do you have?
64
The arguments were getting ridiculous.
65
Then one day, we got invited to a music competition.
66
First place would get $10,000.
67
I was over the moon, but Ileana...
68
I have a test to study for, and I can't afford to mess up my 4.0 streak for some songs.
69
Some songs?
70
Our music has been keeping the bills paid.
71
But Ileana was adamant.
72
Isaac and I went to the competition anyway and tried to make do with what we had.
73
We were practicing in our room backstage and trying to sing together, but we just couldn't hit the right key.
74
Just then, we heard a voice behind us.
75
I could sing if you want.
76
I turned around, and a girl with a blue afro and a turtleneck was leaning against the door.
77
And you are...
78
Kat.
79
Kat was apparently the only child of the venue owner.
80
I never get to perform, but it sounds like you two could use some extra help.
81
You can't just barge in here and join our band.
82
Maybe she can help, Isaac.
83
Why don't you sing something for us, Cat?
84
Cat opened her mouth to sing, and the voice that came out was horrible.
85
Is this girl serious?
86
I couldn't believe such a hideous voice came from such a gorgeous girl.
87
Let's just say nails on a chalkboard sound better.
88
We're on in 10 minutes, and this is what we've got?
89
I need some air.
90
Frantic, I left the room.
91
The view from the balcony was relaxing.
92
I remembered the melody mom hummed to us as kids and started to sing along to it to calm down faster.
93
Your voice is good.
94
I turned around and saw Kat walking toward me.
95
You know, you could just sing and this entire problem could be fixed, right?
96
And you don't need to sing with Isaac.
97
He's holding you back.
98
And I could play a simple beat on the drums.
99
I promise.
100
And better at drums than singing.
101
I mean, I had trouble trusting her after her horrible audition.
102
But maybe it was the only option we had right now.
103
So we decided to follow Kat's plan.
104
Isaac stayed on the guitar.
105
Kat got on the drums, which she was surprisingly not bad at, and I stepped up in front of the mic.
106
To her surprise, the crowd loved our performance.
107
We got second place for the cash reward of $5,000, which was great.
108
And we were invited back in three months for the next showcase.
109
Later, on my way to our backstage room, I found Ileana waiting in the hall.
110
I was so mad to see her there.
111
You're bold to show up here, considering you were willing to let us fail.
112
We're the Turner Twos now, Ileana.
113
I wanted to make her feel bad, but what she said shocked me.
114
Good.
115
You've got that sorted out, because I'm leaving the band.
116
Permanently.
117
What?
118
She explained she wanted to dedicate herself to her studies and the band was taking too much of her time.
119
This pays the bills.
120
What about mom?
121
A real job with a real degree also pays the bills.
122
I need to focus on college so I can have a better future and also take care of our parents.
123
Both mom and dad didn't graduate from college and look where they are now.
124
That's not fair, Ileana.
125
Mom is sick.
126
Education won't stop you from getting sick.
127
Plus, Dad had a good job.
128
Life happens.
129
Well, I'd rather have my education to fall back on when accidents happen.
130
Plus, education will give me the job I need to pay for medical expenses if I get sick.
131
And with that, she stormed out.
132
At the music showcase after party, I found myself sitting alone outside.
133
I hadn't even broken the bad news to Isaac yet.
134
Soon after, Kat joined me, asking why I looked so worried.
135
And I ended up spilling everything about our family problems and Ileana's selfishness.
136
Sorry you're going through all that.
137
Why don't you take your mind off of it for a bit and enjoy your win for a few hours?
138
So we went back inside, and I was glad for the distraction.
139
There were CEOs, music producers, and of course, super attractive celebrities.
140
One woman came up to me and introduced herself as Risa.
141
And then she pulled out a contact card and shoved it into my hand.
142
You've got some raw talent.
143
The world needs to see it.
144
Sounds like something my mom would say.
145
Your mom sounds like a smart woman.
146
Since there was no changing Ileana's mind, we recruited Kat as a permanent member of our band.
147
With practice, she got better on the drums, and we quickly fell into sync.
148
We continued participating in competitions Risa signed us up for and making money.
149
And Kat and I grew super close.
150
We painted each other's nails.
151
I love this color.
152
Shared clothes.
153
Wow.
154
Do you only wear turtlenecks?
155
Did each other's hair?
156
A high puff looks so good on you.
157
And I love the middle part on you.
158
Plus, Kat and Mom hit it off.
159
She even met Dad one time and didn't judge how scruffy he looked or acted.
160
But Ileana didn't like her at all.
161
Anytime she saw Kat, she would glare at her from across the room and then go off in the opposite direction.
162
I'd become so annoyed with Ileana that I tried to get Kat to help me prank her.
163
I typed up a fake acceptance letter to a prestigious university and slipped it under her door.
164
Kat didn't approve, but I did it anyway.
165
Ileana was so excited when she saw the letter, it was comical.
166
When I told her it was fake, her happy bubble popped.
167
Honestly, it felt good seeing her get humbled, but Kat was clearly disappointed in me.
168
We were hanging in the kitchen before practice one night when Ileana walked in.
169
Hey, how was it at the library?
170
But Ileana just made her way to her room without even acknowledging Kat, and she kept behaving like that all the time.
171
One day, Kat and I were keeping mom company at the hospital for her checkup when Ileana randomly showed up.
172
Oh, I didn't expect to see her here.
173
Hey, Ileana.
174
Of course, Ileana pushed past Cat and went straight to Mom.
175
It made things so awkward.
176
Even the nurse looked uncomfortable.
177
Mom, how are you doing?
178
Honey, I think Cat said hi to you.
179
Ileana looked Kat up and down, rolled her eyes, and continued talking to Mom.
180
I was so fed up with her.
181
I couldn't take it anymore.
182
What is wrong with you?
183
Kat has helped his family stay afloat by joining the band, and that's how you treat her?
184
I was so angry I could feel my face burning.
185
Calm down, Iris.
186
Yeah, Iris.
187
This isn't the time or place.
188
Let's get to Mayer.
189
What is this turtleneck-wearing weirdo even doing here?
190
And I don't owe her anything.
191
She didn't join the band to help our family.
192
She just did it because she was some friendless loser.
193
I lunged at Ileana, but the nurses came between us.
194
Kat grabbed me by my arm quickly and dragged me out of the room.
195
We went for a walk and then sat down on some swings so I could breathe.
196
You're still fuming.
197
She's just so rude.
198
And since she's my sister, I'll yell back unapologetically.
199
Kat stopped swinging and turned to me with a serious look.
200
She lowered her turtleneck and held up a dainty necklace with a locket.
201
This is my brother Austin.
202
I thought you were an only child.
203
Now I am.
204
Austin got into a car accident with my mom when he was 10.
205
Mom made it.
206
He didn't.
207
What?
208
Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.
209
Why didn't you ever say anything?
210
I don't like to talk about it because I feel guilty.
211
Why?
212
She explained how much she and her brother argued a lot growing up.
213
They would fight over who would use the bathroom first, who would get the biggest slice of cake.
214
Yeah, but that's normal sibling stuff.
215
Before he left the house the morning of the accident, we got into a screaming fest over some video game.
216
The last thing I said to him was that life would be better if he just didn't exist.
217
Kat's eyes started watering.
218
I felt horrible for everything she'd experienced, including the drama with me and Ileana.
219
I've been so focused on being angry and making money, I've let it ruin my relationship with Ileana.
220
The good thing is that you realized arguments aren't always worth it.
221
A few weeks passed, and Mom was recovering well at home.
222
I also asked Risa to help find Dad a job, and she actually got him an interview.
223
Things were looking up, but even though I made an effort to stop arguing with Ileana, we still weren't talking.
224
One evening, Cat, Isaac, and I were heading to a gig when Ileana got home.
225
She walked past us silently, but I told Cat and Isaac to go sit in the car, and I followed her.
226
Wait, can we talk, please, like normal people?
227
I miss you.
228
Ileana turned around.
229
Tears were streaming down her face.
230
I miss you too, Iris.
231
If singing isn't your passion anymore, it's totally okay.
232
It was wrong of me to be mad at you for that, and I'm sorry.
233
I'm sorry too.
234
I was overwhelmed with school, and then I got really jealous of Kat.
235
Yeah, I don't want to do music anymore, but I felt like I got replaced really quickly.
236
You're my sister.
237
No one can come in the middle of that.
238
Now how about you drop studying for one night and come see us perform?
239
I'd love that.
240
And I'll see you next time.

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.
