2
I'm so excited about Easter.
3
Even though Big Nut Brown Hare was excited about Easter too, he was soon fast asleep and snoring.
4
The snoring was too loud for little Nutbrownhair to sleep, so he went out to look at the moon.

106
Hee hee!
107
It can't be far from here.
108
The place of magical white creatures.
109
Come on, little redwood fox.
110
Seeing little white thorn will be worth it.
111
Oh, no!
112
The path is blocked.
113
It's longer than you said, little field mouse.
114
Ah!
115
Ah!
116
Ah!
117
Oh!
118
And it's getting cold.
119
I think I saw a place we can climb over.
120
Little White Vaughan could be just over there.
121
No, just over here.
122
Hmm.
123
What do you say?
124
I say, Little Grey Squirrel is right.
125
It's cold and it looks like rain.
126
I want to go home.
127
We'd better take shelter.
128
We should go home now, please.
129
We must let Big Nut Brown Hair know that we're alright.
130
Well, if you all don't really want to be here, let's go home.
131
Did you hear that sound?
132
It could have been a branch falling.
133
I think Little White Thorn is closer than we think.
134
If we can't find her, then perhaps she'll find us.
135
Little Field Mouse, I'm going to use the winter berries.
136
Ah, okay.
137
Follow me.
138
Oh Hmm,
139
that was an ordinary brown fawn, Little Nut Brown Hair.
140
You're not imagining things again, are you?
141
No, no I'm not.
142
It did look like a brown fawn, Little Nut Brown Hair.
143
Oh, it wasn't.
144
Help!
145
It's Little White Thorn!
146
Oh dear!
147
We have to save her!
148
How can we?
149
We'll be swept away.
150
The stream's flowing way too fast.
151
Grab hold of something, anything!
152
Help!
153
Look, I'll branch.
154
We can save her with that.
155
Oh!
156
Help!
157
You have ordered the branch or do I, Thorn?
158
Now push!
159
Thank you.
160
That was scary.
161
Look, the mud washed off.
162
She is pure white.
163
I'm sorry, little nutbrun hair, for not believing you.
164
Yes, sorry for saying you imagined her.
165
That's all right.
166
The main thing is that she's safe.
167
It was a fun game.
168
Until the end part.
169
Game? Which game?
170
Hide and seek, of course.
171
You were seeking me, and I was hiding from you.
172
You weren't very good until that trick with the winterberries.
173
I was so hungry, I gave myself away.
174
But I am good at hiding.
175
See?
176
We were looking for you, but you know, it's only a game of hide and seek if you know somebody is hiding from you.
177
You're very beautiful.
178
Thank you.
179
Mother thinks I'm special.
180
There aren't many pure white deer.
181
Would you like to come to our meadow and play some more?
182
I'll have to ask my mother.
183
She might say yes.
184
Goodbye now.
185
Goodbye.
186
Bye-bye.
187
I see, little nut brown hair.
188
Little White Fawn!
189
You came!
190
Hooray!
191
Happy Easter!
192
This is my herd.
193
Happy Easter.
194
Hello.
195
Welcome to our meadow.
196
These are Easter treats to share with all your herd.
197
Thank you.
198
We don't really have a herd, but this is my father.
199
And these are all my friends.
200
A red feather.
201
Is that for me?
202
Yes, I heard you like colourful feathers.
203
I could only find a red one.
204
I love it.
205
Thank you.
206
And this is for you, little redwood fox.
207
Oh, my.
208
This stone looks just like a tiny turtle.
209
Thanks.
210
Yes, maybe we'll find a real one today.
211
And there's berries and fruits of all kinds.
212
And this is for you!
213
Now, who wants to play hide and seek?
214
No, I don't think so.
215
But it's your favourite game.
216
It used to be my favourite game in winter, when there was snow everywhere.
217
I'm not so good at it in spring.
218
Everyone sees me right away.
219
I've got an idea.
220
Follow me.
221
Yes!
222
Coming!
223
Ready or not! in the meadow.
224
From the buds to the blossoms to the fruits of the trees.
225
There's a spring in my step, so much love in my heart.
226
We're old friends and we play together.
227
There's a spring in my step, we are never parts.
228
I guess I love spring as much as I love you.
229
They played and played with Little White Thorn for hours and hours.
230
They had never had so much fun.
231
Well, not since last Easter anyway.
232
Guess how much I love you?

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.
