1
Hey, whatcha doin'?
2
Everybody's movin'!
3
It's time for a little lunch It's time for running, swinging, slides It's time for bounce and sticking high It's time for shedding,
4
loving, climbing It's time to skip your feet and start that rhyme Before your class goes back Well,
5
you gotta eat your snack Take off the plastic wrap And do a little hand clap Hey, whatcha doin'?
6
Everybody's movin' Hey, whatcha doin'?
7
What you do a little much Last Tuesday I hurt my hand Actually,
8
I didn't hurt my hand, someone else did.
9
Someone called Rory.
10
Rory has some behavioural issues.
11
Meaning that he can't ever behave.
12
He doesn't do his homework.
13
He eats lollies in class.
14
He always swears at the girls.
15
Hey!
16
Blh Which would be really bad, except sometimes Rory thinks he knows a lot more swear words than he really does.
17
Hey!
18
F*t ever!
19
Minkle!
20
I don't know what he thinks he's saying when he says Minkle, but it's meant to be rude.
21
Really rude.
22
When actually Minkle doesn't sound rude, it sounds like something you'd call your cat.
23
I would never call my cat Minkle.
24
It's cute.
25
It's a swear word.
26
A made-up swear word.
27
Still, I would always feel like I was being mean to my cat.
28
Anyway, Rory's worst behavioural issue is that he bites.
29
People.
30
Rory bit me on the hand.
31
I didn't mean to bite Melanie on the hand.
32
I meant to bite her on the elbow.
33
But she moved her arm and then all of a sudden her hand was in my mouth.
34
So I bit that instead.
35
Rory's not fussy about where he bites.
36
He'll bite anything.
37
Once he even bit someone on the bum.
38
He got in big trouble for that because it was Mrs. Gonch's bum.
39
Dip that Joe!
40
Oh, oh, yeah.
41
Ah!
42
Flory!
43
My dad says Roy bites because he hasn't learned to control his impulses.
44
My dad says we all have impulses, but we need to learn to control them.
45
Like if I have the impulse to do a foofy at the dinner table, I need to learn to control it.
46
But I haven't learned how to do that yet.
47
The only people who actually can't control their biting are vampires and vampires are made up.
48
Rory's real.
49
Rory bit me on the hat!
50
What do you say to Melanie?
51
I didn't mean to.
52
What else do you say to Melanie?
53
Sorry?
54
That's what I meant.
55
I'm going.
56
He had to go and sit in the principal's office.
57
Rory is always sitting in the principal's office.
58
Rory has a special behavioural modification management plan.
59
Which mainly involves sitting in the principal's office.
60
Rory is always sitting in the principal's office.
61
Rory has a special behavioral modification management plan.
62
Which mainly involves sitting in the principal's office.
63
He even has his own special chair in the corner with a sign that says Rory's spot.
64
Me cool.
65
Rory had to go to Rory's spot
66
and I had to go to sickbay to put cream
67
and a bandage on my hand and then I started to feel really bad.
68
I feel sick because of your hand no
69
because this room smells like all vomit Oh don't be silly Melanie
70
that is just your imagination my imagination can't smell This is
71
a very clean room look I can take a big deep breath in Are you alright Mrs. Goncha?
72
Just need to Want some more bandages and do the find If Mrs. Gonch really wants to punish Rory,
73
he should put Rory's bot in sick bay.
74
It's funny that Rory's always sitting on that chair, because Rory is the worst in the whole class at sitting still on a chair.
75
Mrs. Gonch is always saying, ''Oh, Rory, have you got ants in your pants?'' again, because once he really did, after he stuffed Betty's lamington in his shorts.
76
Rory offered to give my lamington back, but I didn't want it after that.
77
I wasn't so worried about the ants.
78
More Rory shorts.
79
Mrs. Gonja said Rory had to have a long, good, hard think about what he did.
80
Good, hard, think.
81
Good, hard, think.
82
Good, hard, think.
83
Good, hard, think.
84
Good, hard, think.
85
Good, hard, think.
86
Good, hard, think.
87
Good, hard, think.
88
I wish it was alright to bite someone's fingers.
89
My dog Raffy bites all the time when he's playing.
90
but my mum says, you're not a dog, Rory.
91
And I say, really?
92
Let's look at the facts.
93
I like biting when I'm playing, I can catch a frisbee in my mouth, and I like eating with no hands.
94
I don't think she's paying attention.
95
The only time I've ever been to the principal's office is to collect a principal's award.
96
Like, three times?
97
Eight times.
98
Once for the maths competition, then for my Go Green campaign, then for the read-a-thon, then...
99
Yep, I believe you.
100
Eight times.
101
It's a very special office.
102
Why?
103
It has nice pictures and maps and lots and lots of pens and pads and sticky notes.
104
Sometimes I think what it's like you'd have its own special spot there.
105
It's really boring.
106
There's nothing to do.
107
I have to sit in this chair all day and the principal always goes, Rory, back on the chair.
108
She wasn't there today.
109
She was at this professional development thing.
110
I kind of missed her.
111
I even started saying, Rory,
112
back on the chair to myself.
113
So I wouldn't feel so lonely.
114
Rory, back on the chair.
115
My dad said he's not sure that the school's behavioural modification management plan for Rory is working.
116
My dad says when he was a kid a behavioural modification management plan was called a strap.
117
Miss Gongcha always sends me to the principal's office because she knows it's my worst thing not being around the other kids.
118
I didn't want to make Melanie cry.
119
I just wanted to bite her juicy little fingers.
120
But I wish I hadn't done it, because now it was Little Lunch.
121
The thing is, Rory honestly never means to be naughty.
122
He just can't help it, and he probably just...
123
And even though Rory's really annoying and disgusting and gross, we felt sorry for Rory sitting and Rory spotted Little Lunch.
124
So I decided we should write him a note.
125
I think we should write him a note.
126
Are you serious?
127
Writing a note will only encourage them to keep being naughty.
128
But we could probably...
129
And we'll get in trouble too.
130
But maybe we could...
131
We should not write Rory a note.
132
Anyway, the important part is that we ended up writing Rory a note.
133
I wanted it to land all the way over in Rory's spot, so I thought we should rub the piece of paper around a big chunk of apple.
134
So it would make the distance.
135
Read the note!
136
The note said...
137
I'll say what the note said.
138
You didn't write the note, I wrote the note.
139
I wrote it with you.
140
She corrected my spelling.
141
His spelling was terrible.
142
Like Rory would know.
143
The note said, Dear Rory, We're sorry you have impulse control issues.
144
We hope your behavioural modification management plan is helping you, even though it doesn't seem to be.
145
Hope it's okay in the.. big house?
146
But then I made him cross out the big house because no-one knew what that meant.
147
It means jail.
148
Still nothing.
149
I was being funny because I was saying the principal's office was like jail.
150
Then why didn't you just say jail?
151
So I wrote, Hope's okay in the principal's office, which does not sound cool at all.
152
We miss you out here.
153
I was so excited when I saw them all together there at the window.
154
Even Melanie was there, and she was waving.
155
Annika said she was just holding up her sore hand, but I'm pretty sure she was waving.
156
For the whole rest of Little Lunch, it was really fun, because we're all writing messages and drawing pictures
157
and chucking them into the principal's office on little bits of paper.
158
I like chucking stuff into the principal's office.
159
I wrote him a joke.
160
What do I was like to eat for dinner?
161
They like to eat fish and ships.
162
That's a really funny joke because a whale could really eat a whole ship and
163
Whales do eat fish and it sounds like fish and chips The joke wasn't that funny,
164
but he'd been locked up by himself for a long time He would have thought that maths was funny.
165
I decided to write an acrostic poem about Rory.
166
I wrote R-O-R-Y down the page.
167
I don't know why I decided to do that, because I hate acrostic poems.
168
Mrs. Guncher is always getting us to write acrostic poems about everything, and I can never think of good words.
169
But I used up my paper with writing R-O-R-Y on it, so I was stuck with that stupid acrostic poem.
170
I had to think of some words to describe Rory.
171
Rabbit, orange, red, yak.
172
Hey!
173
It spells Rory!
174
I drew a beautiful girl from the future flying in space in a rocket.
175
It was a really good picture.
176
What's that?
177
It's a girl from the future in space.
178
Why are you making her boobies so big?
179
I'm not!
180
Yes, you are.
181
Look.
182
They're not boobies.
183
They're her space controls.
184
They look like big boobies.
185
Anyway, Rory really liked my picture.
186
Boobies.
187
I really like logic puzzles, so I decided to give Rory a riddle to solve to help pass the time.
188
What can travel the world but always stays in the corner?
189
There's no answer!
190
No, you have to work it out!
191
Why?
192
It's a puzzle!
193
I forgot that it was me who liked logic puzzles, not Rory.
194
Rory hates logic puzzles, so I just told him the answer.
195
It's a stamp.
196
It can travel the world, but always stays in the corner.
197
It stays on the corner of an envelope and can go to other countries.
198
Atticus really needs to work on his riddles.
199
It wasn't nearly as good as a fish and chips joke.
200
It also wasn't as good as the last note I unwrapped, because that had a half bagel inside it.
201
Dear Rory, hope you like bagels.
202
I will see you later, alligator.
203
And also because it was from Melanie.
204
I knew Rory would be hungry, and also I still felt a bit funny in the tummy after being in the sick bay, so I couldn't finish my little lunch.
205
I was super happy Melanie threw me her bagel, even after I bit her juicy little fingers.
206
Here's what happened.
207
Rory bit me, then I cried.
208
Then he said sorry.
209
Then Mrs. Gunja got mad at him and sent him to sit in Rory's spot.
210
The end.
211
Except not the end, because then I threw in my bagel.
212
Bye, Rory's here!
213
Bye, see ya!
214
Bye!
215
Bye!
216
Bye!
217
Bye!
218
See ya!
219
But they all went back to class and I was all alone in Rory's spot again.
220
But not once did I say to myself, Rory, back on the chair.
221
But the principal came back from the professional development thing, and she did.
222
Rory, back on the chair.
223
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
224
Hey, whatcha doin'?
225
Everybody's movin', hey, whatcha doin'?
226
Little Punch.

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.
