You and me are going to walk around and see lots of animals and I'm very excited.
4
I am looking for a rabbit.
5
Let's see if we can find one.
6
This is a gate and it's quite small.
7
I am opening the gates and walking down the stairs.
8
This is a large bush and in the bush there are lots of colorful flowers.
9
These flowers are yellow, orange,
10
pink, purple and I think that's it.
11
So I am walking down a road.
12
This is a road, normally for cars but there are no cars.
13
To my right is a white fence and the fence is to keep the cows inside.
14
I am on the outside,
15
the cows are inside the fence.
16
In the red farmhouse there are more animals.
17
This is a tree and the tree has no leaves.
18
Let's keep going.
19
Can I do my cow impression?
20
Okay.
21
Behind me there are three cows and on the cow's head it has horns.
22
The cow has horns.
23
It has a tail and four legs.
24
Those three cows are black and white.
25
A baby cow is called a calf.
26

27
A cow makes milk that you and me drink.
28
The The cow is eating.
29
He's feeding.
30
Hello.
31
I love animals.
32
Now the cow is moving away.
33
I don't think he loves me.
34
It's very hot.
35
So, I am sitting down on a bench.
36
I'm taking a rest.
37
I'm chilling out.
38
I'm cooling down because it's very hot.
39
Okay, I'm cool.
40
These are geese.
41
A goose is one.
42
Geese are many.
43
The geese are standing next to a pond.
44
Geese can swim and they can fly.
45
I can't fly.
46
These are geese, not ducks.
47
A goose has a long neck.
48
These are turkeys.
49
Turkeys are bigger than chickens.
50
There are lots of turkeys here.
51
Turkeys have a red neck.
52
They have two legs, like me and like you,
53
and they have brown and black feathers.
54
The feathers are like a bird's skin.
55
They help keep it dry and they help it to fly.
56
In England, where I'm from,
57
at Christmas, on Christmas Day, we eat turkeys.
58
Do you eat turkey where you're from?
59
I'm crouching down and inside here there are chickens.
60
A chicken is smaller than a turkey and a chicken also has two legs like you and like me.
61
Chickens have a red comb on their head and a chicken's mouth is called a beak.
62
Chickens have yellow beaks.
63
A male chicken, I'm a male, is called a rooster.

68
Hello.
69
If I poke my finger through,
70
it might think it's food,
71
so I shouldn't do that.
72
Don't want to feed my finger to the chicken.
73
That's not good.
74
Hello?
75
Hello?
76
Hello?
77
So this is a baby pig and baby pigs are called piglets.
78
Hello?
79

80
There are two piglets here and if you can hear the piglets they're making the sound.
81
We say they are grunting or oink is the word for a pig sound in English.
82
These piglets are very cute.
83
Again, they have two ears and they are pink and brown in colour.
84
Hello.
85
I'm not sure if the pig will eat my finger,
86
so I don't want to put my finger inside.
87
But they are very cute.
88
I have never seen a pig this close before so for me this feels quite special.
89
I love animals.

97
Now, I'm not swinging.
98
I'm holding the chains.

These are the chains.
100
and this wooden structure is called a frame.

So, I'm looking on the ground,
108
I need to find a stone that is flat.
109
This stone is flat and it's quite round,
110
so I'll try to skim it now.
111

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.
