But the fire is hot.
124
Take lots of water with you.
125
There is a television in a shop window.

After two long hours, Mike is on the volcano.

152
He starts to run.
153
Just then, the volcano makes a noise.
154
Mike runs faster.
155
Suddenly, he hears a different noise. Is that a woman?
156
thinks Mike.
157
It can't be.
158
There is nobody here.
159
He starts to run again, but then...
160
Help!
161
It is somebody.
162
They need me, he thinks.
163
Hello, he says.
164
Where are you?
165
Mike looks everywhere, but he can't see anybody.
166
I'm here.
167
Please help me.
168
Mike sees something behind a rock.
169
It moves.
170
He goes to the rock and sees a young woman there.
171
She can't move her leg because it is under the rock.
172
Oh, thank you.
173
Thank you.
174
she says to Mike.
175
She begins to cry.
176
My leg, I think it's broken.
177
Wait a minute, says Mike.
178
I can help.
179
He pushes the rock.
180
It is too big.
181
There are small rocks in front.
182
He pushes them away, then pushes the big rock again.
183
It moves a little.
184
He pushes harder.
185
It moves a little more.
186
Ah!
187
cries the woman.
188
Suddenly, the rock moves down the volcano.
189
The woman's face is white.
190
She smiles slowly. Are you Jenny?
191
Mike asks.
192
Yes, I am, she says.
193
How do you know?
194
It doesn't matter now.
195
My name is Mike.
196
I have to carry you, Jenny. But first...
197
Mike has a tripod.
198
He ties it to Jenny's leg. Does that feel better?
199
He asks.
200
Jenny smiles again.
201
Thank you, Mike, she says.
202
She is very tired.
203
I'm usually very careful, but not today.
204
Come on, we have to get off the volcano, says Mike.
205
Put your arm around me, Mike tells Jenny.
206
He puts down his camera.
207
Jenny gets up, slowly.
208
Her leg is very bad had.
209
Take it easy, Mike says.
210
They start to walk very slowly.
211
It's okay, he says.
212
You're okay.
213
Meter by meter they move down the volcano.
214
They are almost hit by rocks.
215
Black smoke is in their mouths.
216
Hot fire is close behind them.
217
But they are alive.
218
Mike, wait, says Jenny suddenly.
219
Your camera.
220
She stops walking.
221
Her face is black with smoke.
222
Jenny's blue eyes look at Mike.
223
Mike looks back at Jenny.
224
You're more important than my camera, he tells her. But the volcano...
225
I can wait here.
226
You go back.
227
It's not too late.
228
Mike says nothing.
229
They keep walking slowly down the volcano and away from Mike's camera.
230
Jenny is now very tired.
231
Her leg is badly broken.
232
Mike stops behind a big rock.
233
Do you want some water?
234
he asks.
235
Mike has some water in his bag.
236
Jenny and Mike are both thirsty.
237
They drink the water.
238
Jenny begins to go to sleep.
239
This is dangerous.
240
Jenny must stay alive, Mike thinks.
241
Don't go to sleep, Jenny.
242
Talk to me.
243
Where is your home?
244
Tell me about your family. Do you like books?
245
They walk and Jenny talks.
246
When she stops talking, Mike asks another question.
247
They are almost off the volcano.
248
Mike looks back. Where is his camera?
249
Is it in the fire?
250
They are off the volcano.
251
Mike sits down next to Jenny.
252
He puts his head in his hands.
253
What's the matter?
254
asks Jenny.
255
Everything, says Mike.
256
I have no camera and no film.
257
Now I don't have a job.
258
There are no more chances.
259
Jenny puts her arm around him.
260
It's okay.
261
Two hours later, they walk into the town.
262
People come out to see them.
263
Are you all right? they ask Jenny.
264
I have a broken leg, but I am alive.
265
She says, and looks at Mike.
266
Thank you, Mike.
267
He smiles.
268
There is a helicopter waiting for you, says a man in a suit.
269
It is leaving the island.
270
You must get on, quickly.
271
The man helps them into the helicopter.
272
In the helicopter, a man says to Mike, Do you need anything?
273
My camera, he says, but it is on the volcano.
274
My camera is my best friend and oldest friend.
275
Mike closes his eyes and goes to sleep.
276
Mike is now at home.
277
He does not want to see his boss, Mr. Frank.
278
Then one morning he hears the telephone.
279
Hello, he says.
280
This is Mr. Frank.
281
You must come to work tomorrow.
282
I need to talk to you.
283
Goodbye.
284
The next day, Mike goes to work.
285
His friends are happy to see him.
286
Well done, Mike, they say.
287
Thanks, says Mike.
288
He is happy to see his friends, but he is afraid of Mr. Frank.
289
His boss sees him.
290
You, get in here.
291
This is it.
292
thinks Mike.
293
In the office, Mr. Frank looks at Mike.
294
He has something in his hands.
295
Do you remember the people in the helicopter?
296
he asks.
297
Yes, says Mike.
298
They remember you.
299
I think you need to thank them.
300
He moves his hands.
301
There is Mike's camera.
302
My camera, says Mike.
303
The camera is broken, says Mr. Frank.
304
But we have the film, and it's very good.
305
Good.
306
He smiles.
307
My old friend, says
308
Mike to his camera.
309
He gives it a kiss.
310
Let's watch your video, Mr. Frank says.
311
They watch the film on the TV.
312
They can see
313
Mike and Jenny.
314
Mike moves the big rock.
315
He helps Jenny to walk.
316
Big rocks are falling out of the sky.
317
The volcano makes a noise.
318
The fire is red and the smoke is black.
319
It is very exciting.
320
Next time, remember to turn it off.
321
Or maybe not, says Mr. Frank.
322
This video hits me right here.
323
Then Mr. Frank says, Oh,
324
and Mike, we have a new news person.
325
Jenny comes into the room.
326
She isn't black with smoke now.
327
She smiles at Mike.
328
She's beautiful, Mike thinks.
329
She hits me.
330
Right here.

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.
