Hi, David.

Do you like chives?
8
Yes, I like them very much.
9
They taste like onions.
10
You can sprinkle fresh chives on cooked chicken, fish, or potatoes.
11
It's very delicious with them.
12
Do you know how to grow them?
13
No, I just buy them when I need them.
14
Do you know how to grow them?
15
Yes.
16
I grow a lot in my garden.
17
Chives are easy to grow.
18
Really?
19
Please tell me how you grow them.
20
I want to plant some in my garden.
21
Okay.
22
You need a bag of potting soil, chive seeds, and a pot with a hole in the bottom.
23
Oh, wait a minute.
24
I need a pen to write this down.
25
I need a bag of potting soil, chive seeds, and a pot with a hole in the bottom.
26
Is that right?
27
Yes.
28
Then what do I do?
29
First, fill the pot with potting soil.
30
Don't use soil from your garden.
31
Second, water the soil well.
32
Water should come out of the hole in the pot.
33
Then, sprinkle about 10 to 15 seeds on top of the soil.
34
Cover the seeds with a little potting soil.
35
Water lightly.
36
I see.
37
I have to water them a little bit as soon as I plant them.
38
Yes.
39
Then put the pot near a sunny window.
40
Do not let the soil dry out.
41
The chives will come up in about two weeks.
42
So in two weeks time, chives will grow.
43
That's right.
44
You can start to cut the chives when they're about eight centimeters or about three inches tall.
45
Cut only about one third of the plant at one time.
46
Why do you cut only one third of the plant at one time?
47
Because in this way, the chives will keep growing.
48
I understand.
49
Can I grow them in the garden?
50
Yes, of course.
51
You can plant chives outside.
52
You can grow chives outside in a sunny place. When should I plant?
53
Plant the seeds in early spring.
54
Chives are perennials.
55
They will come up every year.
56
It sounds good.
57
I will try it this spring.

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.
