1
Amy, thank you for teaching me about perseverance.
2
I remember when we first started dating, I would drive up to LA from San Diego
3
and you would always feed me those purple veggie soup with tofu in your apartment in LA.
4
That was so sweet of you.
5
And then I would always go home hungry and get a steak at that home food in San Diego.
6
But I never said a word when I went to LA.
7
Thank you for teaching me about being patient and enduring.
8
When I was your mentor during an internship, I got to boss you around, and you would do the most tedious work with no questions asked.
9
That lasted about two months until the end of the internship, and then you're the boss now.
10
I'll try my best to do the same for you, and thank you for being patient with me while I get better at being patient.
11
You were a sharp shooter on the basketball team at Contact, and as Emma mentioned, You did beat all of us at work in a three -point shooting contact.
12
But sometimes you do miss, though.
13
You try to get me to go SEALS for our first day, and you bring those Chinese food at work so when I walk in, we construct a conversation.
14
You play all those games with me, and now you win a stupid prize with me.
15
Now you have to spend the rest of your life with me.
16
I'm aware that women usually look for partners with potential and do better in life.
17
You should get more money, better jobs, a nicer car, and somehow you do the exact opposite.
18
Ever since we met, I've become unemployed, have less savings, I'm deep in student loans, and I sold my car.
19
If there's any single ladies out here today, don't do what Amy did.
20
All jokes aside, I'm glad we met.
21
I was joking about that purple veggie soup earlier.
22
upon reflection upon reflection my life did actually get a lot better um since we met
23
instead of eating those dry
24
and a favorless chicken breasts now i got to eat crispy seasoned chicken wings drumsticks
25
and thighs all thanks to your air fryer that's pretty good
26
thank you well to be fair i'm still the one who cooks
27
but you you add the right seasoning of favors to all
28
my dishes just like how you do what you do to
29
my life you are the definition for ambition I saw firsthand
30
how you grew a YouTube channel from a thousand followers with triple -digit views to now over 600 followers
31
and millions of views.
32
And it's not just about the numbers, but the hard work you're putting behind those numbers.
33
You wake up at 6 a .m to do the reading sessions every morning, or get up early on a Saturday morning to make sure everything on your video goes right.
34
You are so inspirational.
35
You're very inspirational.
36
Thank you for appreciating what we have, even the little things.
37
You know how in traditional vows, that always goes, from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poor, in sickness and in half, you actually did all of those for me already.
38
Thank you for being my best friend and support.
39
I love you, and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.
40
We were both young when I first saw you.
41
I close my eyes and the flashback starts.
42
We're standing there in lab coats and safety goggles and face masks.
43
I always dreamed of having my own love story, but never believed I actually could until you came along and brought magic to the real world.
44
Every day, I wake up excited to see you again.
45
Having met through the most unlikely of circumstances, only being able to see each other's eyes at first, I now believe in fate.
46
Eyes are truly the window to the soul, and I fell for yours.
47
I fell for the amazing person you are.
48
And fortunately, when I looked you up on LinkedIn, you turned out to look decent too.
49
I never met anyone as caring as you.
50
Even while recovering from surgery, you surprise me with a birthday cake from 99 Ranch I'd only mentioned in passing.
51
You notice the little things, when I want a picture, when I'm stressed, and you bring joy wherever you go.
52
You've taught me to be more generous, more mindful, and to stand up for what's right.
53
I've seen you go out of your way to help strangers, a reminder of how much goodness you carry in your heart there's a buddhist saying
54
that when you find the one you don't go weak in the knees instead you feel calm and i did
55
As stressful as life can be, you make me feel like a kid again.
56
With you, everything is more fun because you can find the humor in anything.
57
Literally anything.
58
I still remember your laugh echoing through the lab even from literally three rooms away.
59
At the same time, you're incredibly smart and determined.
60
Whether planning our trips or this wedding with me, you take so much weight off my shoulders.
61
When we first met, you told me of your dream of going to business school and working consulting.
62
And you shared all of that.
63
I'm so proud of you.
64
Our first three and a half months were virtual with an eight -hour time difference.
65
Even after that, we lived in different cities.
66
But you fought for us, driving four hours every other weekend to see me.
67
You did that.
68
You did that.
69
even knowing that the only things I could cook at the time were tofu and purple cabbage soup.
70
Amid job changes and constant uncertainty, we mapped out every if -then scenario, and every path still led to us together.
71
And we made it.
72
Thank you for helping me chase my dreams.
73
Thank you for teaching this eldest daughter that it's okay to not always be strong, that I can rest and be taken care of.
74
I promise to always be this weird with you, even as we grow older.
75
I mean Pfizer.
76
I promise to support your gains with more protein and less purple cabbage.
77
I promise to stand by your side through life's challenges and all your endeavors, even if that includes becoming a master plan player.
78
And I promise to love you with joy, gratitude, and the same excitement I feel today.
79
In 2020, you took me to Malibu,
80
here, and told me I love you for the first time.
81
You surprised me with this infinity necklace I'm wearing right now.
82
So, five years later, I'm making the same promise.
83
I promise to love you forever.
84
I'm so proud of what we've built, and wherever life takes us, it'll be an adventure with you.
85
We go together like Ying and Wei.
86
I love you.
87
Sean, you may now kiss the bride.
88
Thank you.
89
Amy, you are my biggest role model and I wouldn't be the person I am today without you.
90
I love you so much.
91
Now, it's clear that Amy always puts in the effort to get what she wants, and that includes Sean.
92
So, as everyone knows already, Amy and Sean met at her internship in San Diego. So scandalous.
93
Within days, she was calling me about this super cute guy at work, but there was one problem.
94
No social media to stock.
95
So, her solution, she was like, Angel, go to LinkedIn, search up Sean Yin Avexis.
96
I looked at his picture, after a long pause, I was like, maybe he looks better in person?
97
You look frickin' beautiful.
98
I could see the happiness that she brought to you, and you guys are so perfect and cute together,
99
and both intelligent and very successful.
100
I'm so happy for both of you.
101
When we're out in a crowd laughing loud and nobody knows why
102
When we're lost at a club getting drunk and you give me that smile
103
Going home in the back of a car and your hand touches mine
104
When we're done making love and you look up and give me those eyes
105
Cause all of the small things
106
that you do Are what remind me why I fell for you
107
And when we're apart and I'm missing you I close my eyes
108
and all I see is you And the small things you do Thank you.

Over deze les

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.
