1
It was just like a regular night.
2
I was in the kitchen cooking something for my sister.
3
I hear a ring, the doorbell ring, and I see a police officer outside, and I let him in.
4
He asked my parents, and I said, sure, I'll go get them
5
and as i bring them out he the police officer was very persistent of letting my sister
6
and i go upstairs as we go upstairs you know how kids are being nosy
7
or whatever so as we do that we go in the bathroom
8
and we we are very very quiet the police officer tells my parents
9
that i'm sorry to tell you this
10
but your son has been murdered last night in his apartment
11
when i tell you that that is one of the hardest moments of my life
12
that i will never forget because i hear it every single day I hear
13
that sentence I hear that phrase every single day in my head
14
but you also hear your parents screaming you also hear your sister screaming I hear
15
that every single day in my head you know my mother she pulled herself together
16
and she told my sister and I to go upstairs
17
and pray pray pray pray pray pray all that night I prayed all
18
that morning I prayed and through the rest of the week we had to make phone calls
19
and reservations and stuff for my brother's funeral
20
and I want to thank god for having a strong support system
21
because i don't think i could ever get through something like
22
that if i didn't have family later
23
that week i started thinking wow i'm gonna have to see
24
my brother my older brother in a casket i thought i
25
wouldn't be able to see this like like what 50 years from now he's like 70 60 years old
26
or something like that but not now at the tender age of 22 years old
27
so i was contemplating on seeing him in the casket
28
but you know this is going to be the last time I see my brother
29
so I had to I had to see my brother it was emotional yes I did cry
30
but I had family behind me that was the main part of me
31
getting through the situation was my family I see my brother laying handsomely in the casket my mother tearing up
32
and kissing him on the forehead my father was disappointed he was sad
33
that his only son was murdered and my sister she didn't want to see him
34
but you know i mean she's a kid so i mean
35
that makes sense three months later yes i still have my days
36
and i'm sad and my mom she cries every day my dad doesn't talk about
37
that much my sister talks about him sometimes
38
but you know i think about my brother every single day we forgive the people
39
that hurt him yes we do
40
but you know the moral of the story is you know your family
41
and friends you never know when they're gonna pass away
42
so just always leave them on a good note always say
43
you love them always joke with them always have fun with them you know even
44
if you argue get over it it's not worth arguing with somebody because you never know when they might pass away
45
Let's go with it again.

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.
