1
There's that old saying about heroes, how they're not born, they're made.
2
I relate to that.
3
Not because I'm a hero, but because I was made.
4
We all are, if you think about it.
5
No one is born with skills.
6
Natural talent is a myth.
7
Talent is earned.
8
Skills are gained through grueling repetition.
9
Tireless, constant effort.
10
She's done it again, folks.
11
I'm not special.
12
I just have drive.
13
Now that's one driven dragon.
14
And it made me the best dragon racer that ever lived.
15
But I didn't get here alone, of course.
16
Several years ago, racer training grounds.
17
I thought we told you to stay out of here, shrimp.
18
This tract is for racers.
19
I am a racer.
20
No little nymph dragon has ever been in a race before. So what?
21
Besides, you need a rider to even compete.
22
Where's your rider, Wren?
23
I don't need a rider.
24
Yes, you do.
25
That's part of the game.
26
You tell her, Rosie.
27
She couldn't keep up anyway.
28
The little thing couldn't even qualify.
29
The dragon stables.
30
They're right.
31
No matter how much I practice, I'm not good enough.
32
Not fast enough, not agile enough, not good enough.
33
No, I won't let them get to me, and I won't quit.
34
Deep in the forest.
35
Come on,
36
come on hey hey you huh oh that's gotta hurt you alright there missy are you a flying mouse
37
or did I hit my head that hard the one and only names
38
Windy like you were in for windy weather or the winds of change are upon you.
39
Uh -huh.
40
Well, if you'll excuse me, Windy the Flying Mouse.
41
I've been watching you, Wren.
42
It is Wren, right?
43
How did you...
44
Nice homemade training course you have for yourself here.
45
You want to race, huh?
46
But, well, you're terrible.
47
You're a nymph dragon.
48
Small, like me.
49
You're training like them, but you're not a wyvern, or a whiptail, or even a...
50
Get to the point, Mouse.
51
I can help you.
52
I know aerodynamics, how the wind works, how to make the most of being small.
53
You want a race.
54
I want a ride.
55
We can help each other.
56
If you're so good, why haven't you found a dragon that's already in the races, then?
57
No one wants a mouse rider.
58
Too small, too weak, bad grip.
59
We both want a race.
60
What do you say?
61
Ready?
62
She was right, of course, about me training wrong.
63
I'll never tell her that, though.
64
That little mouse worked me to the bone.
65
I worked myself to the bone.
66
Tuck in the tail, Missy.
67
Maybe it's because I finally had hope.
68
Maybe it's because I finally had someone that believed in me.
69
Either way, it was nice.
70
Nice to have a friend.
71
I saw others give up when they were so close to the top.
72
Second or third place wasn't good enough for them, so they quit.
73
Come on, go hide!
74
I watched, and I learned, until I was ready.
75
Several months later...
76
Woo -hoo!
77
That was your best time yet, Ren! Can we?
78
Can we really do it?
79
I think we can.
80
It's finally time to talk to the ladies that run the races.
81
Don't worry, they know me.
82
We're a shoe -in.
83
Absolutely not.
84
Wendy, you can't just walk in here with the smallest wagon you could find and demand to be in the race tomorrow.
85
You've pulled some dumb stunts, but this?
86
She's faster than a lot of them.
87
Aren't you tired of the same racers over and...
88
This isn't about...
89
Fine, then I'll prove it.
90
All right, little dragon.
91
Collect all three rings from the course's checkpoints in less than 15 seconds.
92
And we'll let you and the Mouseris tomorrow.
93
Ready, set, go! By the gods!
94
She did it in less than ten!
95
Well, ladies, we'll see you tomorrow.
96

97
Nervous?
98
No, absolutely terrified.
99

100

There's no way the bugs let you in.
102
Ahem.
103
Coal racers are here and accounted for.
104

105
You want to embarrass yourself in front of everyone?
106

108

109

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.
