1
Music The Snow Queen.
2
Once upon a time, there were two best friends, Kay and Gerda.
3
They were next door neighbors.
4
Both the friends loved flowers and they had planted a rose bush in their common lawn.
5
Kay's grandmother used to tell them a story every day.
6
One day, during the winter season, grandmother was telling them the story of the Snow Queen.
7
We can turn a person's heart into ice and make them her slaves.
8
We must save ourselves from the Snow Queen then.
9
Haha, if she'll come here, I'll melt her on the fire and she'll become a Water Queen then.
10
I can hear someone else laughing.
11
Who is it?
12
Is someone standing by the window?
13
Kay opened the window and looked out if someone was there.
14
It was snowing.
15
Something entered Kay's eyes.
16
Ah!
17
My eyes!
18
Following the eye, something stuck on his heart.
19
Oh!
20
My heart!
21
What happened, Kay?
22
Are you hurt?
23
It's none of your business.
24
Move aside!
25
It was shocking for Gerda, as Kay had never behaved with her like this ever before.
26
From that day, Kay started behaving strangely.
27
He started avoiding Gerda and spoke arrogantly to her.
28
Gerda couldn't understand Kay's behavior.
29
One day, Kay took his sledge out.
30
Kay, come, let's play together.
31
No, I'm going to play with some elder boys.
32
Kay, we are best friends.
33
Why don't you talk to me anymore?
34
Kay!
35
Kay didn't pay any attention to Gerda and started moving in his sledge.
36
Gerda tried to follow him, but he went so fast that soon he went out of Gerda's sight.
37
Disappointed, Gerda returned home.
38
Kay's sledge was moving fast.
39
Suddenly, a coach with white horses appeared in front of him and dragged Kay's sledge with it.
40
Kay enjoyed it, but later he got a bit scared.
41
The coach took him to a snow land.
42
Kay saw a big snow castle in front of him.
43
Someone got off the coach.
44
She was the Snow Queen.
45
Welcome to the snow land, Kay.
46
Queen took Kay to her castle.
47
Gerda waited for Kay, but he didn't return.
48
She tried to look for him, but couldn't find him anywhere.
49
Summer arrived.
50
Gerda decided to find Kay and bring him back home.
51
She spoke to Grandmother about it.
52
You're a brave girl, Gerda.
53
You'll surely succeed.
54
Thank you, Grandmother.
55
Take this mirror with you.
56
It'll be helpful.
57
Taking the mirror with her, Gerda started her journey in search of Kay.
58
She walked far away from her home.
59
On her way, she asked the birds, the animals, the trees, and the wind if they have seen Kay anywhere.
60
Nobody had seen Kay.
61
But Gerda didn't give up.
62
She kept moving forward.
63
After walking a long way, she reached near a river.
64
Nobody was there.
65
Gerda thought for a while and asked the river.
66
Dear River, please tell me if you have seen my friend Kay.
67
He has been missing.
68
The eagle came from nowhere and sat on her shoulder.
69
I can help you, but you should give me something first.
70
And the bird flew away.
71
Gerda thought it must be a message from the river.
72
She took out her necklace and dropped it into the river.
73
Suddenly, a boat came flowing towards her.
74
It was empty.
75
Gerda sat in the boat, and the boat started moving on its own.
76
It took Gerda to another side of the river.
77
find herself in front of a garden.
78
It was a beautiful garden with various flowers.
79
She had never seen so many types of flowers in her life.
80
Gerda was pleased to see them, but she also noticed that there was no fragrance to those flowers.
81
A lady walked towards Gerda.
82
Welcome, little girl.
83
Thank you.
84
Who are you, little girl?
85
And what brings you here?
86
I'm Curta, and I'm looking for my friend Kay.
87
Have you seen him?
88
K...
89
Oh no, I don't think so.
90
Oh!
91
"I should leave then." Sorry if I've bothered you.
92
Please wait.
93
What did you say?
94
Hey?
95
I guess I've seen a boy passing by.
96
Come with me and I'll tell you what happened that day.
97
The lady offered her some tea.
98
Gerda told her how Kay disappeared.
99
She expressed her doubt about the Snow Queen.
100
Snow...
101
Oh!
102
The Snow Queen!
103
She is a witch.
104
Because of her, all my flowers have lost their fragrance.
105
I want to teach her a lesson.
106
After some time, the lady started combing Gerda's hair.
107
She was holding a magical comb.
108
Actually, the lady wanted Gerda to stay with her for longer as she was lonely.
109
Through this magical comb, she erased Gerda's memory.
110
Gerda fell asleep, and when she woke up, she didn't remember anything.
111
The magic of the lady didn't work on Gerda's pure soul.
112
As soon as Gerda saw the beautiful roses on the lady's hat, she remembered Kay and everything about him.
113
I've got to find Kay as early as possible.
114
I'll take your leave.
115
The lady tried to stop Gerda from leaving, but Gerda was firm on her decision.
116
She returned to the boat and sat in it.
117
The boat started moving, but she didn't know where to go.
118
Oh, River, please help me find the way.
119
No sooner than she had finished with her prayer, a crow came flying to her and indicated her to go north.
120
Gerda followed the crow for some time.
121
She traveled through the icy sea and reached a ship.
122
Gerda climbed up the ship.
123
Will this ship take me to the Snow Queen's castle?
124
A pirate girl jumped in front of Gerda.
125
Have you lost your way, girl?
126
Well, you're on a pirate ship.
127
Gerda told her everything about Kay and the Snow Queen.
128
The pirate girl felt sorry for them.
129
You can't take Kay out of the Snow Queen's castle.
130
Forget him.
131
I'll find him at any cost.
132
I won't leave my friend in trouble.
133
Actually, I don't have any friends, so I wanted you to stay with me.
134
But I'm impressed with your attitude.
135
The next morning, the pirate girl got a reindeer for Gerda.
136
This is the fastest reindeer in the entire Snow Kingdom.
137
She will take you to the Snow Queen's castle.
138
Oh, thank you!
139
Get that icy witch.
140
Teach her a lesson of life.
141
Gerda rode on the reindeer.
142
After traveling for a long distance, Gerda reached at an igloo.
143
She met an old man there.
144
Gerda was surprised to hear this.
145
She didn't understand how the wise old man knew about the mirror.
146
She took the mirror out and showed it to the old wise man.
147
Will this help me win from the Snow Queen?
148
No, this is a magical mirror.
149
It shows the truth.
150
Nothing but the truth.
151
Then, the wise old man told Gerda who the Snow Queen was.
152
When no queen was a little girl, she was kind and cheerful.
153
Wherever she went, flowers blossomed.
154
When she smiled, her eyes sparkled like a bright sunshine.
155
She was unique and happy.
156
Her name was Leela, but everyone thought that was a Leela.
157
That's why the children were not allowed to play with Leela or speak to her.
158
Soon she started hating everything and everyone around her.
159
And one day she made a wish.
160
Everyone who is mean to me shall turn into ice.
161
And she built an ice castle far away from everyone.
162
She grew up all alone without any love or joy in her life.
163
Your magic mirror will help you to do so.
164
If you succeed in reminding her who she was, You can save your friend Kay.
165
Gerda reached the Snow Queen's castle.
166
She found Kay in a corner.
167
He was making an ice sculpture.
168
Oh, Kay!
169
I'm so happy to see you!
170
It's me, Gerda!
171
Don't you recognize me?
172
Kay?
173
Kay looked at her, but didn't respond.
174
Suddenly, the Snow Queen appeared from nowhere.
175
Like everything else here, his heart has turned into ice.
176
Go away.
177
He is my slave now.
178
Leave him or I'll turn you into ice too.
179
Kay, please come back.
180
I miss you.
181
I've come to take you home.
182
Let's go!
183
Gerda's tears fell upon Kay's hand.
184
The warmth and affection made its effect.
185
Kay slowly started recollecting his memories.
186
Gerda?
187
"Oh, I recognize you!
188
I remember everything !" The Snow Queen was furious to see this, and she took her magical wand out to curse Gerda.
189
Gerda took her mirror out and held it against the curse.
190
The curse disappeared, and then the Snow Queen looked into Gerda's magical mirror.
191
What she saw wasn't her face.
192
It was a face of a little girl.
193
again.
194
"Thank you Kay and Gerda.
195
Thank you for reminding me about who I am.
196
I'm now free from my evil thoughts." Kay and Gerda said goodbye to Leela and returned to their home.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
