Finally!
39
Haha, just me and my candy.
40
Sarah picked the best gift ever.
41
Hmm, I'll only have one.
42
Sweet, but really hard.
43
This is way better than homework.
44
Maya, are you done with homework?
45
Maya, are you in there?
46
Huh?
47
Oh no!
48
Wheel!
49
Hide the bag first!
50
Just one bite!
51
Ow!
52
My tooth!
53
Something feels wrong.
54
Maya, what happened? Are you okay?
55
I think I chipped my tooth.
56
Mom!
57
Dad!
58
Come quick!
59
Maya, let me see.
60
Huh?
61
What did you bite?
62
A jawbreaker.
63
I hid the bag.
64
I didn't want
65
Leo to find it.
66
We need a dentist to check that tooth.
67
Hi, Maya.
68
I'm Luke.
69
Let's check your tooth.
70
Open wide, please.
71
This'll be quick.
72
You chipped a small corner of your tooth.
73
Don't worry.
74
It's easily fixed.
75
Will it stay broken?
76
No. Hmm.
77
I can fix it today.
78
Stay still.
79
We'll be done soon.
80
All done.
81
Your tooth is fixed.
82
Thank you, Luke.
83
It looks great.
84
Mom?
85
Dad, I'm sorry I hid the candy.
86
Thank you for telling the truth.
87
No more hiding treats.
88
See?
89
Hiding candy was a bad idea.
90
Oh.
91
Hello?
92
William speaking.
93
Who is this?
94
Listen carefully.
95
Bring money or your power gets turned off.
96
And your water, too.
97
There will be serious trouble.
98
Hmm.
99
Hmm.
100
I understand.
101
Tell me exactly what you want me to do.
102
Just get the money ready.
103
And don't keep us waiting.
104
Quick, hang up!
105
We fooled him completely!
106
Ethan and Grace, please come with me for some questions.
107
Huh?
108
Huh!
109
But we didn't call anyone.
110
Or ask for money.
111
There must be a mistake.
112
We would never threaten anyone.
113
Stop!
114
Don't take them!
115
I made the call!
116
This is so boring.
117
I wish something fun would happen.
118
Hmm.
119
Hmm.
120
What if we call a stranger and say something silly?
121
Wait, maybe that's not a good idea after all.
122
No, it's a great idea, Maya.
123
Come on, we'll only make one quick call.
124
Okay, let's try.
125
Mom's phone is here.
126
She won't notice for a minute Huh?
127
Pick a random number Hello?
128
Who is calling me this afternoon?
129
You have five seconds A big bear is coming to your door What?
130
I should call the police and ask for help
131
He really believed your story
132
That was amazing!
133
Let's try one more number now Hello?
134
Who's that?
135
Important news You must sing a song right now Huh?
136
Why should I suddenly start singing?
137
Because I like that!
138
They'll never know us!
139
Let's make one final call!
140
Hello?
141
William speaking?
142
Who is this?
143
Listen carefully.
144
Bring money or your power gets turned off.
145
And your water, too.
146
There will be serious trouble.
147
Hmm.
148
Hmm.
149
I understand.
150
Tell me exactly what you want me to do.
151
Just get the money ready.
152
And don't keep us waiting.
153
Quick, hang up.
154
Hey!
155
He's calling back already.
156
This game keeps getting better.
157
Please don't cut anything off.
158
I'll bring the money.
159
Good.
160
Hurry up and don't make us wait too long.
161
Alright.
162
I know where to go.
163
I'm coming now.
164
We fooled him completely.
165
Hmm.
166
Ethan, your children just gave me a very strange call.
167
Hmm.
168
Oh no. I'm truly sorry.
169
Hahaha!
170
Don't worry!
171
I have an idea they might remember.
172
Maya, Leo, come here.
173
We need to tell you something.
174
Huh?
175
What's happening, Mom?
176
Dad?
177
Hmm...
178
A police officer says our phone scared several people today.
179
They think we made those calls and want to question us.
180
Maybe the police made a mistake.
181
Huh?
182
Someone is at the door.
183
Stay here with your mother.
184
Hmm.
185
I'm Officer William.
186
I'm checking some scary phone calls.
187
Ethan and Grace, please come with me for some questions.
188
Huh?
189
But we didn't call anyone.
190
Or ask for money.
191
There must be a mistake.
192
We would never threaten anyone.
193
Stop!
194
Don't take them!
195
I made the call!
196
Hmm, I pretended to trick people.
197
It was only a joke.
198
I joined him too.
199
I'm sorry.
200
Please blame us instead.
201
I knew your voices during the call I received.
202
Then why did everyone act like mom and dad were guilty?
203
Because scary calls can make innocent people feel helpless too.
204
Phones are not toys.
205
Ask permission before using them.
206
Never pretend, threaten, or frighten strangers just for fun.
207
We're sorry, everyone.
208
friends always ask first and use every phone responsibly
209

216
Ah, the air is so fresh here, everyone.
217
Welcome to my big green farm, my friends.

It's very easy.
227
Just put the little plant in the dirt and cover it softly like this.
228
I have some cute watering cans in the shed.
229
Mom and Dad, can you help me get them?
230
Sure!
231
Kids, stay right here in this safe garden.

See you tomorrow.
257
Good morning, little plants.
258
Are you bigger today?
259
Oh, no!
260
Maya, look!
261
What is wrong with our baby plants?
262
Oh, dear.
263
The dirt is so dry.
264
Our little plants are very sick.
265
I'm so sorry.
266
We totally forgot to give you water yesterday.
267
Oh, these poor plants.
268
Plants are like us.
269
They need water every day.
270
We will be more careful next time.
271
It's okay.
272
Please don't sad.
273
Let's try again with these new plants.

Drink lots and lots of water to grow super fast!

Too much water can make them sick too!
281
Just give them a little water every day!
282
Okay?
283
Yes, Mommy!
284
Okay, everyone!
285
It's time to go home now.
286
But we can't stay to see our plants grow.
287
Don't worry.
288
I will take good care of them.
289
When they are big, I'll send the vegetables to your house.
290
Wow, really?
291
Thank you so much, Farmer Ben.
292
Bye -bye.
293

Follow his car!
333
Why is Dad at a fancy restaurant?
334
Who is that woman?
335
What am I seeing now?
336
I'm so disappointed in him!
337
Oh!
338
Our wedding anniversary is coming!
339
Wow!

I can't believe it's so soon!
341
Hmm, what should I buy for Ethan?
342
Hmm, maybe many gifts.
343
Hmm.
344
Does Ethan remember our day?
345
Huh?
346
Mom, why are you smiling like that?
347
It's my special day with your dad soon.
348
Yay!
349
Mom and dad's love day!
350
Could you two help me find out if Ethan remembers our anniversary?
351
Yes, Mom!
352
We've got this!
353
And we can help
354
Dad make a surprise!
355
Hmm.
356
First, we must check if Dad remembers.
357
Dad!
358
Look!
359
We found this special!
360
Oh, our wedding album!
361
That's sweet.
362
Dad, look!
363
This date is very important, right?
364
Yes, my girl!
365
It was a beautiful day.
366
Oh, my work message.
367
Leo, that was strange.
368
Ha ha ha ha ha!
369
Ethan?
370
Is something funny?
371
Oh, nothing, honey.
372
Just...
373
a small thing.
374
I need to go now.
375
Kids!
376
Do you know where Ethan is going?
377
He's looking for a super special gift for you, Mom!
378
Dad cares about you so much, Mom!
379
Thank you for hinting me a tiny secret.
380
Leo, we don't really know anything.
381
What if Dad forgot
382
Mom's special day?
383
Oh, no!
384
What can we do?
385
Hmm.
386
We must figure this out.
387
Hmm.
388
Here.
389
Hmm.
390
Dad's phone.
391
He's in the shower now.
392
Meet me tomorrow night.
393
But don't let anyone know.
394
Oh, no. That sounds bad.
395
Hmm.
396
Let's follow him tomorrow night.
397
Everything must stay secret.
398
Go, Maya!
399
Follow his car!
400
Don't let Dad see us.
401
Why is Dad at a fancy restaurant?
402
Who is that woman?
403
What am I seeing now?
404
I'm so disappointed in him.
405
Dad, stop right there.
406
Maya?
407
Leo?
408
What are you doing here?
409
You shouldn't hide things from Mom!
410
Mom is excited about the wedding anniversary, but you're here with her.
411
Oh, kids!
412
It's me, Elsie!
413
Oh!
414
It's really our auntie!
415
I'm planning a surprise for mom, kids!
416
Huh?
417
What?
418
What?
419
Wow!
420
This is for Mom?
421
Dad, you didn't forget at all!
422
When Mom stands there, the petals will fall.
423
Oh, Ethan!
424
This is so beautiful!
425
Happy Anniversary, sweetheart!
426
Oh my god!
427
It's so romantic!
428
Don't judge too fast.
429
A secret can be full of love.
430
Thanks for watching and see you soon!
431
Wow!
432
Thank Leo and Maya!
433
One, two, three, pull!
434
Whoa!
435
Welcome to Family Fun Day, everyone!
436
Today, we have three secret games for you!
437
Are you ready to win?
438
Yes!
439
We are ready!
440
We are a strong team, guys.
441
We will win first place today.
442
Yes!
443
Let's win the gold cup, Leo.
444
Go team.
445
Let's go practice.
446
Okay, I am ready to run fast.
447
Oh, it's Red.
448
He looks so lonely.
449
Mom, I don't know anyone here.
450
It's okay, Red.
451
Don't be sad.
452
I don't know how to play this game.
453
Leo, come here.
454
We need to practice.
455
Mom, Dad...
456
Red is a new friend in my class.
457
He came yesterday.
458
He doesn't know anyone, so he is very shy.
459
Can we play with them and help his family?
460
But Leo, we need to practice to win the cup!
461
Winning is fun.
462
Um, but helping is better.
463
Oh, that is so kind of you, Leo.
464
Okay, let's go over there and play with them.
465
Hi, I am Leo.
466
And I am Maya.
467
Let's play together, Red.
468
Hi, I am Red.
469
Wow, thank Leo and Maya.
470
Let's play together.
471
Team building!
472
Yay!
473
Game one.
474
Find the candy in the flower.
475
Watch me, Red.
476
It's easy.
477
Ta -da!
478
I got it!
479
I got it too!
480
We look so funny.
481
Game 2.
482
Build a cup tower.
483
Oh no!
484
The cups are falling.
485
It's okay.
486
We can help you.
487
Let's build it together.
488
Game 3.
489
Tug of war.
490
Let's pull together, team.
491
One, two, three, pull!
492
Eeeee!
493
Whoa!
494
Oh, no!
495
Ouch!
496
Game over!
497
Oops!
498
I'm sorry.
499
I slipped.
500
That's okay, Red.
501
We tried our best.
502
Are you okay, Red?
503
You did a great job!
504
Yes!
505
Winning isn't everything.
506
We had so much fun.
507
Time's up!
508
Great job, families!
509
Today was very fun.
510
But I'm a little sad we didn't get the cup.
511
Thank you, Leo and Maya.
512
Playing with you is the best memory today.
513
See?
514
Happy memories are better than any medal.
515
And that is the true meaning of Family Fun Day.
516
Thank you for helping us today.
517
You are a wonderful family.
518
We are so happy
519
Red has great friends like you.
520
Yes!
521
We are best friends!
522
Okay, stop!
523
You were selected!
524
Yeah!
525
Oh my gosh!
526
Can't believe it!
527
Once I had a trip with my class.
528
When I stopped to have some water...
529
What the...
530
Wait, wait!
531
Hey, it's mine!
532
Did you ever get bad grades?
533
Yes, I messed up a presentation once.
534
I was nervous.
535
I suddenly forgot all the words while I was representing...
536
Wow!
537
School years with you were interesting, right, Mom?
538
Yes.
539
And you know, kids, if I gave up every time, I would never meet your father.
540
Oh, my goodness!
541
What was that?
542
I already explained it a thousand times, Leo.
543
How can you still not get it?
544
Oh!
545
What's going on here?
546
I'm trying to learn.
547
I really am.
548
I just.. need one more time.
549
One more time?
550
Leo, you're making me repeat everything again.
551
I hate homework.
552
I hate school.
553
I don't want to go.
554
Okay, stay calm.
555
Let's all sit down together and talk.
556
Mom, did you ever hate school too?
557
Oh, yes.
558
I cried a lot over math, too, when I was young.
559
Huh?
560
Really?
561
I can't believe that!
562
Whoa!
563
Just like you, math is really hard for me, too.
564
And I also hated the school.
565
Wow!
566
You really hated school?
567
Yes, but school was more than homework.
568
Let's see.
569
I signed up for the audition for the music club.
570
It's crazy, right?
571
I thought this was gone forever.
572
I'm so happy.
573
Okay, stop.
574
You were selected.
575
Yeah!
576
Oh my gosh.
577
Can't believe it.
578
What?
579
After joining the music club, Mom had many new experiences, such as plan on stage for the first time.
580
Once I had a trip with my class, when I stopped to have some water.
581
What the?
582
Wait, wait.
583
Hey, it's mine.
584
Little monkey.
585
Give it back to me.
586
Please.
587
Hey!

Uitspraak om op te letten
De spreker gebruikt 74 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals don't, I'm, I'll. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.
- De “th”-klanken: tooth /tuθ/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, threaten /ˈθɹɛt.n̩/
- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: presentation /ˌpɹɛzn̩ˈteɪʃn̩/, gosh /ɡɑːʃ/, patience /ˈpeɪ̯.ʃəns/, audition /ɑˈdɪʃən/
- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, disappointed /ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪnɪd/, participate /pɑːˈtɪs.ɪ.peɪt/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: disappointed /ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪnɪd/, pretend /pɹəˈtɛnd/, salad /ˈsæl.əd/, tube /tuːb/, subscribe /səbˈskɹaɪb/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: candy /ˈkæn.di/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, fancy /ˈfæn.si/, salad /ˈsæl.əd/, romantic /ɹoʊˈmæn(t)ɪk/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: gosh /ɡɑːʃ/, hungry /ˈhʌŋ.ɡɹi/, goodbye /ɡʊdˈbaɪ/, goodness /ˈɡʊdnəs/

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.
