All Paris talked about that night at the opera.

Everybody asked questions.

But nobody knew the answers. Where was Christine Daae?
5
Where was the Vicomte de Chani?
6
Were they alive?' or dead.
7
And the Phantom of the Opera?
8
Some weeks after that famous night, Madame Giry went out one afternoon.
9
to a small house near the Riverley Gardens.
10
She went in and up the stairs to some rooms at the top of the house.
11
The Persian opened the door.
12
Madame Giry looked at him.
13
"'My friend.' You know the answers.
14
Please tell me. Are they alive? or dead.
15
coming.
16
The Persian said quietly.
17
They sat down on some chairs by the window.
18
and looked out across the riverly gardens.
19
Yes.
20
The Persian said slowly.
21
The Phantom is dead now.
22
He did not want to live any longer.
23
I saw his body three days ago.
24
And because of that, I can talk to you about him.
25
He cannot kill me now.
26
So, The Phantom was really a man.
27
"'Madame Giry asked.
28
Yes.
29
His name was Eric.
30
That was not his real name, of course.
31
He was born in France.
32
But I knew him in Persia.
33
He was a famous builder.
34
and I worked with him there. For a time.
35
I was his friend. But not for long.
36
when he came to Paris.
37
I came after him.
38
I wanted to watch him.
39
He was a very clever, very dangerous man.
40
He could be in two.
41
or three places at the same time.
42
He could be in one place?
43
And his voice could come from another place.
44
He could do many clever things with ropes and mirrors.
45
and secret doors.
46
You see?
47
He helped to build the Opera House.
48
He built secret passages underground.
49
and his secret house on the lake.
50
He could not live in the outside world because of his terrible, ugly face.
51
Unhappy, Eric.
52
We can feel sorry for him, Madame Giry.
53
He was so clever. And so ugly.
54
People screamed when they saw his face.
55
And so he lived this strange life.
56
Huffman.
57
"'Her Phantom.' But he was a man in the end.
58
He wanted a woman's love.
59
He stopped.
60
And Madame Giry asked quietly, and Christine Diye?
61
and become Draoul.
62
What happened to them?
63
The Persian smiled.
64
Ah yes.
65
"What happened to young Raoul and the beautiful Christine?" Who knows?
66
Nobody in Paris ever saw Raoul and Christine again.
67
Perhaps they took a train to the north.
68
and lived a quiet, happy life together there.
69
Perhaps Christine's wonderful voice.. is still singing.
70
somewhere in the cold and beautiful mountains of Norway. Who knows?

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.
