Guess how much I love you?

4
Orange!
5
Red!
6
Yellow!
7
Blue!
8
Green!
9
Pink!
10
Hmm, something pretty.
11
Something pretty.
12
Ooh, what about that blossom?
13
Do you think Little Field Mouse would like that?
14
Perfect!
15
What's perfect?
16
What?
17
Just wait there, you'll see.
18
Ooh, it's pink!
19
Oh, thank you, Little Not Brown Hair.
20
It's so pretty!
21
It's a blossom.
22
I'm going to keep it forever and ever.
23
Look, here come some more blossoms.
24
Where are they coming from?
25
They must be falling off a blossom tree into the stream.
26
And the stream is floating them down here.
27
Wow, a whole tree covered in those blossoms.
28
It must be a very pretty tree.
29
I can remember seeing a beautiful blossom tree when I was a little nut round here, just like you.
30
It had more blossoms than you could ever imagine.
31
The tree's probably still there, at the top of a mountain.
32
Can you take us?
33
Can you show us the blossom tree?
34
Well, it's a very long way.
35
Please?
36
Well, all right.
37
Hooray!
38
Those bushes are gold.
39
So we go through them. Are we close?
40
We could be.
41
A palm mountain you will see.
42
A very pretty blossom tree.
43
Oh, it's even bigger and more beautiful than I remembered.
44
Although it's more of a hill than a mountain.
45
It's raining blossoms.
46
Oh, what pretty rain.
47
Well, at least not everything has changed.
48
These blossoms still smell as sweet as ever.
49
Do you remember the blossoms in the stream this morning?
50
You mean like this one?
51
Aha!
52
They're the same!
53
Hmm, same colour and everything.
54
Have you seen any other blossom trees with this colour anywhere else?
55
No, not anywhere that I can think of.
56
Oh.
57
What?
58
What is it?
59
The blossoms we found near home this morning come from this tree.
60
The stream carries them all the way back there.
61
If we follow the blossoms in the stream, they take us home another way.
62
It could be a quicker way.
63
It could be.
64
Let's try!
65
And very soon, much sooner than anyone had expected, the floating blossoms brought little Nutbrown Hare,
66
big Nutbrown Hare and little Fieldmouse right back to where they'd started their long journey.
67
Look, I'll leave from this morning.
68
We're home.
69
Yay!
70
You're so clever, Little Nutbrown Hare.
71
Not really.
72
I'm going to show everyone my pretty blossom necklace.
73
Goodbye, Little Fieldmouse.
74
See you tomorrow.
75
Goodbye.
76
I have a riddle for you this time.
77
Oh, yes.
78
Go on.
79
What is as big as a mountain and as long as a stream and as tall as a tree?
80
I don't know.
81
It's how much I love you.
82
Oh, well, guess how much I love you.
83
How much?
84
As much as our day was special, as the blossom tree was beautiful,
85
and as far as the journey took us, there and back again.
86
Guess how much I love you.
87
Pink.

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.
