What's the best way to get to the bar? By Tube.
4
Get the Piccadilly Line westbound to King's Cross.
5
Hey, what are you doing?
6
What's wrong with you?
7
Couldn't you see it was a work photo?
8
I said, I'm sorry.
9
But it's always a work something with you these days.
10
And what's going on with Max?
11
Max is my boss.
12
There's nothing going on.
13
I can't have this conversation with you right now.
14
I'm sorry.
15
I have apologized, but she doesn't listen to me.
16
Izzy's angry.
17
Of course she's angry.

She probably thinks that you don't trust her.

I trust her.

Of course I trust her. Do you trust her?
21
Yes.
22
Nothing happened between her and Max.
23
But do you believe her?
24
Yeah.
25
Or do you just want to believe her?
26
What do you mean?
27
You think she's going to break up with you?
28
That she might be happier without you?
29
No. I don't.
30
Or maybe, just maybe, you think you might be happier without her.
31
I...
32
No. That's not true.
33
I want to stay with her.
34
Then you'll have to change.
35
But do you want to change?
36
No. Ben.
37
Love is sometimes hard work.
38
Things don't always go to plan.
39
People change.
40
But it's always worth it if it's the right person. So ask yourself this.
41
Am I the right person?
42
I don't know anymore.
43
Thank you.
44
I'm sorry, I can't take your call at the moment.

Hello, Izzy Silver's phone.
68
Uh, is Izzy there?

Ben?

Uh, no, she's taken the day off.
71
Um, I'd give her some space if I were you.
72
Thanks for the advice.
73
Hi Pamela.
74
Hey Izzy, I thought I heard you.
75
Aren't you working today?
76
No. I took the day off. Are you okay?
77
No. Ben and I had a big argument last night.
78
I'm sorry to hear that.
79
Have you been out today?
80
No. Come on.
81
Let's go for a walk.
82
It was so embarrassing.
83
And our relationship has been difficult recently.
84
I just don't understand him anymore.
85
Well.
86
Sometimes people are difficult to understand.
87
What's his problem?
88
I have this great job.
89
I have this great opportunity.
90
And he's just started his career.
91
Yeah.
92
I think you're right.
93
I know what I want.
94
I know who I am.
95
Ben doesn't.
96
He wants everything to stay the same.
97
It can't all stay the same.
98
Life isn't like that. So?
99
Why don't you tell that to him?
100
I thought you'd be here.
101
Well, here I am.
102
I'm sorry.
103
I was an idiot.
104
You were.
105
I don't know why I didn't tell you about Max earlier.
106
I didn't tell you how I was feeling.
107
I'm not interested in Max.
108
I never was.
109
He's just my boss.
110
I know.
111
I know now.
112
Look, it's my fault too.
113
I've been so busy with my new job.
114
I didn't have enough time to think about us.
115
I'm sorry.
116
Sure.
117
I get it.
118
You've been busy and you're doing really well.
119
I'm proud of you.
120
Thanks.
121
I'm sorry if you feel like I've left you behind.
122
You're so talented.
123
One day you're going to be a great photographer.
124
Thanks.
125
You know...
126
When we met, we were in the same place in life.
127
Now we're in very different places.
128
I think you're right.
129
This new job is really important to me.
130
It's what I've always wanted to do.
131
Yeah.
132
I found the right place for you.
133
But I don't think your job leaves enough time for us.
134
Yeah.
135
And you need somebody who wants the same things as you want right now.
136
I don't think I'm that person. So is this it?
137
The end?
138
I think so.
139
I think so too.
140
We were really good together.
141
We were.
142
You know that now my back's better I could beat
143
Max in a race, right?
144
I know. so

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.
