We are still dog sitting so this is the dog we are dog sitting.

She is such a spoiled girl.

Chapter 2 A strange yawning in Red's gut.

The sound hidden by the wheels of the road.

She couldn't be hungry, could she?

They only stopped for dinner at a rest stop a few hours ago, but the feeling doubled down, twisting again, so she reached out for a bag of chips in front of Maddie.

She removed a handful, placing them carefully in her mouth, one by one, cheese dust coating her fingertips.

Oh yeah, Simon said, standing up and settling out of the booth, heading toward his bunk beyond the mini -kitchen,

and youse all owe me seven bucks for the snacks I got at the gas station.

Red stared down at the chips left in her hand.

Hey, Maddie leaned over the table.

I'll cover you for the snacks.

Don't worry about it.

Red Swallow looked down even farther to hide her eyes from Maddie.

Not worrying wasn't a choice.

Not one Red had anyway.

In her darkest moments, those winter nights when she had to wear her coat to bed, over two pairs of pajamas and five pairs of socks,

and still shivered anyway, Red sometimes wished she were Maddie LaVoy.

To live in the warm house is thought as though it

belonged to her to have every single thing they had

and everything she didn't anymore stopped

that she felt the flesh in her cheeks shame was a

red feeling a hot one just like like just like guilt

and anger why couldn't the kinnies heat their home on guilt

and shame alone but things would get better soon right real soon

that was the plan what it was all for

and then everything would be different how freeing it would be to just do

or think and not have to double think or triple think

or say no thank you maybe next time to not beg for extra shifts at work

and lose sleep either way to take another handful of chips just

because she wanted to red realized she hadn't said anything yet thanks she mumbled keeping her eyes to herself

but she didn't take any more chips it didn't feel right she just have to live with

that feeling in her gut

and maybe it wasn't hunger after all no worries maddie said

there see she didn't have any maddie had no need for

worries she was one of those people who was good for everything first try well apart from this time

that time she insisted on taking up the harp unless red was one of maddie's worries it did seem

that way sometimes are we in south carolina yet red said

changing the subject one thing she was good at not yet

oliver called behind though he wasn't the the lavoie she'd asked

soon i think we should be at the campsite in around

40 minutes woohoo spring break simon yelled again in a high pitched voice

and somehow he had another bottle of beer in his hand the refrigerator door swinging open behind him.

I got it, Arthur said, passing an unsteady Simon in a narrow space between the sofa bed and the dining table.

Clapping him on the back, Arthur darted forward to catch the refrigerator door and pushed it shut.

The dim overhead lights flashing against his gold -framed glasses as he turned.

Red likes his glasses standing out against his tan skin and curly dark brown hair.

She wondered whether she needed glasses.

Far away things seemed to have gotten farther and fuzzier lately, another thing to add to the worry list, because she couldn't do anything about it.

Yet, Arthur caught her looking, smiling, and he ran a finger through the light stubble on his chin.

Given up on 20 questions, have you?

He asked them both.

Red forgot her person -plated thing, Maddie said, and that made Red think.

Wasn't there something else she'd forgotten, something she wanted to ask Maddie?

Chip.

Maddie offered the bag to Arthur.

I'm good, thanks.

He backed away from the bag, almost tripping over the corner of the sofa bed.

A look clouded his eyes, and now that she was looking, was there a slight sheen of sweat on his forehead.

Red didn't normally catch these things, but this one she did.

Did that mean she looked at him too often?

What's up?

She said, deathly allergic to cheese puffs.

No, thankfully, Arthur said, feeling his way as he sat down on the sofa bed.

Oh, yes.

Red needed to ask Maddie about which side she slept on.

Arthur just had said something.

She hadn't listened.

Best to go with a well -placed, with a well -placed, huh?

I said, at least I don't feel as dizzy as Simon probably does.

Car sick, Red said.

Well, RV sick.

No, it's not that.

Arthur shook his head.

Probably far too late to be telling you all this, but I'm not that great with tight spaces.

He looked around at the crammed -in furniture in the compact kitchen.

I thought it would be wider.

That's what she said, Simon interrupted.

For God's sake, Simon, enough with the office references, Maddie said.

He's been doing that since middle school, before he even knew what it meant.

I'm standing right here, Mads don't - third -person me.

Can you all shut up for a second?

Oliver spoke over Maddie's rapport.

Retort.

We're trying to navigate over here.

Red turned back to Arthur.

Well, good thing you're not spending a whole week in the cramped RV.

Oh, wait.

Red smiled at him.

I know, right?

100

Arthur was Simon's friend, really, but he was all of theirs by now.

101

He didn't go to their high school.

102

He went to one in South Philly, but he and Simon were on the same basketball team,

103

both joined last year sometime red guest arthur didn't didn't much like his friends at his own school

104

because he'd been coming to all of their parties

105

and hangouts since senior year began and that was okay

106

because she liked having him around he always asked how she was

107

and how was her day even though red usually answered with lies

108

or exaggerated stories with only faint traces of the truth he showed interest

109

when red wasn't interesting at all and there was

110

that time he dropped her home after the new year's eve party

111

and let her sit in his car warming up in the

112

dry air of the heater before she had to go inside the cold house

113

and find whatever mess her dad had left for her arthur

114

didn't know what was happening he thought they were just talking

115

talking the night away at two in the morning outside her

116

house a small kindness he never knew he'd given her she

117

could have she should have given get she should give him

118

one back we'll be at the campsite soon i think she said you can get out

119

and stretch your legs in the great big outdoors I'll come

120

with you yeah Arthur smiled it'll be fine his gaze dropped

121

from her face to the table where she was resting one hand I was meaning to ask you earlier

122

but I didn't want to distract you from driving what does your hand say oh red blushed raising the hand

123

and rubbing at it self -consciously realizing as she did that

124

that there was something written on the back of her hand on the back of

125

that one too to do lists everywhere even on her own body to do lists

126

and never get done lists i've got two for one special

127

for you she said on your left hand we have call

128

it at &t ah i see fascinating what about he asked

129

you know red said just to check in with them

130

and see how they're doing whether they're they've had a good day arthur nodded

131

or a smile that matches hers

132

and did you do it red pursed her lips looking at

133

the empty box she drawn near her knuckle no she said i ran out of time

134

and hand number two on hand number two red said drawing with surprise we have to the very elaborate

135

and detailed instruction pack you must have done

136

that one arthur said just about she replied like it was a joke

137

but she was telling the truth this time packed literally right

138

before she left the house this morning no time to even

139

double check her bag against her list she'd been too busy

140

making sure there were enough there was enough food in the house for her dad

141

while she was away well if you

142

if you did it why haven't you checked it off arthur

143

said pointing at the small empty box on the see -through

144

flesh of her hand here he stood up grabbing one of maddie's pens from the table

145

that she used in an earlier game of hangman he uncapped it

146

and leaned toward red pressing the felt tip against her skin

147

gently he drew two lines a check mark in the little

148

box there you go he said standing back to admire his handiwork red looked at her hand

149

and it felt stupid to admit to herself

150

but the side of the little check mark did change something

151

in her small minuscule a tiny firework bursting in her head

152

but it felt good it always felt good checking off those

153

boxes she held out her hand proudly for maddie to examine

154

and got the nod of approval she was looking for arthur

155

was still watching her a look in his eyes a different one

156

that red couldn't decipher brazil nuts red said arthur's face screwed

157

up what i used to be allergic to them as a kid but i'm not anymore

158

it's that weird isn't it that weird that a person can just change like

159

that she said fidgeting with the front pocket of her light

160

blue jeans she'd been sitting here in the same in this

161

spot a long time now too long my my parents had to write it on my hand

162

so I wouldn't forget also does that pattern

163

and the curtains remind anyone of something she touched the white

164

and blue curtain hanging down next to her running her hand

165

between the pleats it's been bugging me all day can't work out what it is a cartoon

166

or something it's just a random pattern Maddie answered no it's

167

something it's something red traced her finger over it like the

168

silhouette of a character she couldn't quite place from a book she read at night

169

or a tv show either way best not to think back to the to

170

that time to when she was little

171

because who else might be there tomatoes arthur said saving her

172

from the memory give me a rash around my mouth only

173

when raw though he straightened up as did the wrinkles

174

and his white baseball jersey navy on the arms anyway i think i better help with the direction.

175

I'm sensing that Simon is being a hindrance.

176

I'm doing a stellar job.

177

Thank you very much, Simon said.

178

Looking over Oliver's shoulder at an iPhone with a marble orange case must be Raina's.

179

There was a map on the screen, a blue dot moving along a highlighted road.

180

The blue dot was them, the six of them, all 31 feet of the RV.

181

thank god it wasn't a red dot blue was safer arthur

182

settled to the front blocking red's view of the screen her

183

eyes falling instead to maddie who gave her a not so subtle wink huh

184

maddie's sister silently nodding at her over

185

so slightly arthur's direction checks all the boxes she whispered stop

186

it red warned her you stop it they both stopped

187

because just then maddie's phone rang an angry wasp buzz against

188

the table the screen lit up with the view from the front camera The off -white ceiling

189

and a silver of the underside of Maddie's chin across the

190

top was the word mom in FaceTime video with a slide -to -answer button waiting patiently at the bottom.

191

Maddie's reaction was instant, too quick.

192

She tensed, bone sharpening beneath her skin.

193

Her hand darted out to grab the phone, holding it up to hide it from Red.

194

Red knew what she was doing.

195

She always knew, though.

196

Maddie didn't know she knew.

197

I'll call her

198

when we get to the campsite Maddie said almost too quiet

199

to hear over the wheels pressing the side button to project the call looking anywhere

200

but at red mom like Maddie thought red would split open

201

and bleed just to see the word it had been the

202

same for years in freshman year Maddie used to take the kids to the side

203

and tell them off for saying yo mama jokes in front

204

of red she didn't think red would ever find out it

205

was a forbidden word a dirty word she even got we

206

are talking about the murmurs parade in front of red how

207

ridiculous except the thing was maddie wasn't wrong red did bleed

208

just to see the word to hear it to think it

209

to remember the guilt leaving a crater in her chest blood red is her name

210

and red is her shame so she didn't think of it

211

or remember and she wouldn't look to the left to see her mom's face

212

and a reflection in the window no she wouldn't these eyes were just hers

213

that is the end of chapter two i will see you guys in the next video bye

Wat je zult leren

Deze video helpt je om twee cruciale spreekvaardigheden te ontwikkelen. Ten eerste leer je om natuurlijke conversatiewisselingen te volgen, zoals hoe personages onderbreken en onderwerpen veranderen (zoals wanneer Red de vraag over South Carolina stelt om de schaamte te verbergen). Ten tweede oefen je emotie door te geven met stemtoon: luister naar hoe Red's stem zacht en terughoudend is wanneer ze "thanks" zegt, wat haar ongemak weergeeft. Deze vaardigheden zijn essentieel voor realistische Engelsspreken.

Luister naar deze geluiden

In de dialoog zijn verschillende verbonden spraakpatronen te horen. Let op de linking tussen "youse all" (uitgesproken als "youseall"), waar twee woorden samenvloeien. Ook is er reductie in "gonna" (in plaats van "going to") en "wanna" (in "wanna go"), wat veel voorkomt in informele spraak. Daarnaast hoor je "couldn't be" verkleind tot "couldn'tbe", waardoor de zin soepeler klinkt. Deze patronen helpen je om Engels niet alleen te begrijpen, maar ook natuurlijker te spreken.

Spreek het zoals een native

Om de rhythmiek en stress te nabootsen, gebruik de shadowing techniek (ook wel schaduwspreken genoemd). Herhaal de zinnen direct na de speaker, met name de delen waar de stress ligt: in "She is such a spoiled girl" wordt "spoiled" sterker benadrukt om de nadruk op het huisdier te leggen. Let ook op de pauzes, zoals na "Oh my goodness" bij Dorothy's introductie, die de conversatie leven geven. Door regelmatig schaduw spreken te oefenen, verbeter je niet alleen je uitspraak, maar ook je timing en intonatie. Dit is een effectieve manier om je engelse spreekvaardigheid te verbeteren, want je leert de taal in context te gebruiken, net zoals native sprekers dat doen.

Grammatica in deze video

De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:

Structuur	In de video
“Used to” used to + werkwoord — een vroegere gewoonte of toestand die niet meer klopt	used to be · used to take
Lijdende vorm be + voltooid deelwoord — het gaat om wat er gebeurt, niet om wie het doet	have been warned · is thought
Past continuous was/were + -ing — iets dat op een moment in het verleden bezig was	was looking · was happening · was resting
Advies met “should” should + werkwoord — zeggen wat een goed idee is	should be · should have

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.
