1
Okay, this is the Point of View mini-stories for Lost Custody.
2
Let's get started.
3
First one with the phrase 20 years ago.
4
20 years ago there was a student named Yuriko.
5
She was unfit to be a student.
6
Every day she came to school late.
7
Then she belittled the other students.
8
When another student made a mistake, Yuriko yelled, Are you stupid?
9
Do you have a mental disability?
10
What's wrong with you, you idiot?" One day, another student named Zhenhua complained to AJ, the teacher.
11
She said, I'm frightened by Yuriko.
12
I'm going to quit this class.
13
The teacher said, Stick it out, Zhenhua.
14
Don't worry.
15
I will get rid of Yuriko.
16
Then we will all be better off.
17
The next day, AJ, the teacher, brought a gun to class.
18
He pointed the gun at Yuriko and threatened her.
19
He said, Yuriko, if you come to my class again, I will kill you, and then I will take custody of your son and beat him every day.
20
So leave now.
21
Yuriko was frightened by AJ's threat.
22
She started to cry.
23
Then she ran out of the class.
24
The other students cheered.
25
Yay, Yuriko's gone.
26
Okay, the next version begins with since January.
27
Since January, there has been a new student in AJ's class.
28
Her name is Yuriko.
29
Yuriko is unfit to be a student.
30
Every day she has come to school late.
31
Then she has belittled the other students.
32
When another student has made a mistake, Yuriko has always yelled, Are you stupid?
33
Do you have a mental disability?
34
What's wrong with you, you idiot?
35
Well, one day, another student named Jin Hua complained to AJ, the teacher.
36
She said, I'm frightened by Yuriko.
37
I'm going to quit this class.
38
The teacher said, stick it out, Jin Hua.
39
Don't worry.
40
I'll get rid of Yuriko.
41
Then we'll all be better off.
42
The next day, AJ brought a gun to school.
43
He pointed the gun at Yuriko and threatened her.
44
He said, Yuriko, if you come to my class again, I will kill you, and then I'll take custody of your son and beat him every day.
45
So leave now.
46
Yuriko was frightened by AJ's threat.
47
She started crying, and then she ran out of the class.
48
The other students cheered.
49
Yay!
50
Okay, you'll notice that when I, in the beginning there, I used the have, have, she has come to school,
51
she has belittled the other students, because those are things she did every day, starting in January up until now.
52
But I said, Yuriko is unfit to be a student.
53
I said that because that's a general statement about her that's always true, past, present, and probably in the future too.
54
So I used the present tense in that one.
55
And then I switched to the past.
56
I said, one day, another student named Jin Hua.
57
And now we're describing one thing that happened.
58
It already happened.
59
It's totally finished.
60
So that's when I switched to simple past again.
61
Don't worry.
62
Don't think about the verb tenses.
63
Don't think about the names.
64
perfect, blah, blah, blah.
65
Don't worry about that.
66
Just listen for when I change.
67
Try to get a feeling, a feeling for when I'm changing.
68
Okay?
69
So listen carefully.
70
That's your only job.
71
Do not try to memorize the rules.
72
Do not try to remember all those grammar rules.
73
Just try to get a feeling for when I change the verb tenses.
74
And maybe why do I do it?
75
That's all.
76
That's all you need to do.
77
All right.
78
Next one.
79
Let's go to the future.
80
Back to the future.
81
In 10 years.
82
Starting with in 10 years.
83
Here we go.
84
In the future, 10 years from now, in 10 years, there will be a class.
85
And in the class, there will be a student named Yuriko.
86
Yuriko will be unfit to be a student.
87
Every day she'll come to class late.
88
Then she'll belittle the other students.
89
When another student makes a mistake, Yuriko will yell, are you stupid?
90
Do you have mental disability?
91
What's wrong with you, you idiot?" Now one day, another student named Jin Hua will complain to the teacher, whose name is AJ.
92
She'll say, I'm frightened by Yuriko.
93
I'm going to quit this class.
94
The teacher will say, stick it out, Jin Hua.
95
Don't worry.
96
I'll get rid of Yuriko.
97
Then we'll all be better off.
98
The next day, AJ will bring a gun to class.
99
He'll point the gun at Yuriko and threaten her.
100
Yuriko, if you come to my class again, I'll kill you and then I'll take custody of your son and beat him every day.
101
So leave now.
102
Yuriko will be frightened by AJ's threat.
103
She'll start crying and then she'll run out of the class.
104
The other students will cheer.
105
Yay!
106
Yuriko's gone!
107
Yay!
108
All right, that's all for the point of view stories.
109
Please now go back, listen to the first one, then pause, and try to tell the first story yourself beginning with 20 years ago.
110
Try to tell all the story and use the correct verbs and the correct vocabulary.
111
Then listen to the second one, starting with since January.
112
Listen to it a few times and then pause and try to tell it yourself out loud, maybe alone in your room or something.
113
And then finally, listen to the third one beginning with in 10 years
114
or 10 years from now and try to tell that one yourself also.
115
Okay?
116
If you have trouble, if you can't remember exactly the words to say or you make a few mistakes, listen, just relax, okay?
117
Relax.
118
It takes a little time.
119
The most important thing is to listen very carefully
120
and to listen again and again and again until you are sleeping and dreaming about these stories.
121
Then it will become automatic.
122
So please relax about making mistakes.
123
This is not a test.
124
Okay?
125
In fact, you can only listen if you want to.
126
If you want to, just listen.
127
You don't need to try to tell the stories yourself.
128
If it makes you feel stressed, if it makes you feel nervous or uncomfortable to pause and speak, then don't do it.
129
Only tell the stories if you are relaxed about it, if you can do it and you don't worry, you don't feel nervous about making mistakes.
130
If you feel nervous, just relax and listen only.
131
That's fine.
132
Okay, I'll see you next time.
133
Bye-bye.

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.
