Hello my darlings!
2
Welcome to my home.
3
My name is Chin and let's study about one topic from part 1, talking about mirrors.
4
And let's get started!
5
First question!
6
Do you like looking at yourself in a mirror and how often?
7
I remember when I was little, I was often criticized for some physical limitations in my body and I was self-conscious about my looks.
8
So I avoided looking in the mirror because I recognized my flaws and felt embarrassed of myself of myself.
9
However, as I grew older, I learned to appreciate myself and discovered that everyone has their own unique beauty.
10
So I enjoy staring in the mirror to remind myself that I possess a unique charm that no one else possesses.
11
In addition, you know, I believe that the mirror is my confidence booster
12
and I can't tell you how many times a day I look at myself in the mirror on a daily basis.
13
Second question, have you ever bought mirrors?
14
Yes, you know my mother purchased enormous mirrors for our accommodation
15
and I bought little mirrors to beautify my table or use it as a face mirror.
16
I normally buy them and place them in my print case
17
so that I might check my face in the mirror whenever I go to public places or engage in some social events.
18
So you know as I remember, I used to visit an accessory store and purchased exceedingly well-designed mirror for affordable price,
19
which I still use now and it is indispensable to my life.
20
Third question, do you usually take a mirror with you?
21
As I previously stated, I have a tiny mirror in my handbag at all times, so that when I finish my lunch or dinner,
22
I can check my face or my hairstyle to ensure that I can remain appealing and make a positive impression on others.
23
Nevertheless, if I forget my mirror at home, I will borrow one from my friend
24
or use the camera application on my phone to check and spare myself from humiliating circumstances.
25
Final question, would you use mirrors to decorate your room?
26
Yes, I used to use the Pinterest app in the past
27
and I noticed a lot of individuals who are immensely skillful
28
in optimizing different types of mirrors to beautify their rooms and make it incredibly eye-catching.
29
So I identified the mirror as an indispensable item for me to make my private corner more aesthetic.
30
However, you know, I told myself
31
that I will conduct more research on the internet to ensure
32
that I place the mirrors in the proper positions as the Asian people are pretty superstitious.
33
We think that placing mirrors in the inappropriate locations in a room might bring bad luck or unwelcoming troubles.
34
By the way, there are many people who have been asked to learn to speak to you.
35
So I want to share with you
36
that is a method to be able to train speaking with a very cheap amount of money.
37
We have spent about 2 months to sign a book for each year.
38
This is a video that will It will be a video
39
that I have to share with you and a video
40
that I have to share with you and
41
if you have a question about the topic you can click on the link and you can click on my Facebook
42
and let me know in the description below
43
So this is the end of my sample answer and hopefully this video can do something
44

45

- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als indispensable, possess, decorate.
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.
