Hello!
2
And welcome to Story Nori.
3
You're listening to Jana, and I'm back with a fun jungle story.
4
Like everyone else.
5
The animals in the jungle celebrate the new year.
6
As the monkey loves to say, Out with the old and in with the new.
7
At this time, every animal makes a resolution.
8
For example, the skunk promises not to be so smelly And the owl...
9
promises not to keep everyone awake all night.
10
With his twit.
11
D 'woos!
12
and the monkey promises to turn over a new banana skin.
13
and not play tricks anymore?
14
And does he manage to keep his promise for long?
15
Well...
16
We shall see.
17
Now the bear is one of those animals who likes to hibernate in the winter.
18
This means that he's often asleep in his cave around this time of year.
19
annoying his neighbour the tigress with his loud snores.
20
But the bear does not like to miss out on the New Year fun.
21
So he asked the parrots and peafowls to wake him up on New Year's Eve. by screeching.
22
The birds are loud, and I mean loud.
23
- Yeah!
24
so as to annoy the tigress even more than the bear snoring.
25
Last year, Just as the bear was stretching and yawning, The animals were discussing which party game to play next.
26
The elephant suggested coconut roll to see who could push a coconut along the ground furthest and fastest just using their nose.
27
The tortoise? wanted a game to see who could keep still the longest.
28
and the crocodile suggested a swimming race.
29
But nobody took up that challenge.
30
In the end, they decided to play charades, a game in which one player acts out an idea,
31
and the others have to guess what it is.
32
The owl appointed himself as referee.
33
He stood on a low branch puffed out his chest and reminded everyone of the rules.
34
"No talking," he tweeted.
35
No noises!
36
He added: And up.
37
Absolutely no cheating!
38
The animals nodded back.
39
Some touch their noses wisely.
40
Others pointed at their eyes to show they were watching carefully.
41
The owl chose the first player, a bright blue bird with a long tail.
42
He fluttered down and whispered the secret idea into the bird's ear.
43
The bird gasped silently and immediately spread out his wings.
44
He puffed out his chest, tilted his head proudly, and made a grand circle above his head with his wings.
45
like an invisible crown.
46
and he crouched low.
47
stretched one wing forward and pointed dramatically at an imaginary horizon The animals burst into guesses.
48
A posse chicken!
49
The bird shook his head.
50
A cat!
51
The bird flapped his wings.
52
A king!
53
The bird was jumping up and down and nodding excitedly.
54
But they hadn't got the whole answer yet.
55
So he did another mime, in which he puffed out his chest and opened his beak like he was roaring.
56
The jackal was the first to bark out.
57
The Lion King.
58
And that was the correct answer.
59
So the bird opened his wings and flew up to a branch.
60
The jackal grinned and rubbed his paws together.
61
His turn.
62
The owl whispered again.
63
At once, the jackal stood on his hind legs and began snapping his front paws together like enormous jaws.
64
A crocodile?
65
piped up the elephant The jackal pointed at her and nodded.
66
Then he went to sit down on a large boulder.
67
A walk?
68
said the tortoise.
69
Of course, it's Crocodile Rock.
70
Poor the Tigress.
71
She had the right answer.
72
and it should have been her turn at miming.
73
but she insisted that the bear take her place.
74
because she was too shy.
75
The bear beamed.
76
He lumbered forward proudly as the owl fluttered down to whisper his secret.
77
The bear nodded, then frowned.
78
Then nodded again.
79
as if the idea were wobbling about inside his head.
80
He lifted one enormous leg and tried to balance.
81
His other leg trembled.
82
He stuck out his paws.
83
and attempted a graceful turn, rising up onto his toes like a ballet dancer on one leg.
84
He wobbled.
85
He hoped.
86
He spun.
87
He fell over with a thump that made all the birds cry out.
88
The monkey was laughing even louder than the hyena.
89
The bear got up and tried again.
90
Standing on one leg, stretching his neck.
91
and waving his arms like feathery wings.
92
The monkey clapped his hands.
93
Oh, I know!
94
He's hoping mad!
95
The bear glared.
96
Or maybe a wobbly flamingo cried the monkey at last.
97
Oh!
98
I know!
99
Lake Flamingo!
100
The owl twitched to wood.
101
Lake Flamingo was where all the animals went to drink. And...
102
It was the correct answer.
103
The monkey pulled a face at the bear.
104
The bear scowled back.
105
As usual, he was pretty fed up with the monkey.
106
Now it was the monkey's turn.
107
The owl whispered.
108
The monkey's eyes sparkled.
109
First, He pretended to eat and eat and eat some more.
110
He stuffed invisible berries into his cheeks, patted his belly, Then staggered about, looking for somewhere to lie down.
111
He curved his arms into a rough cave shape, curled himself up on the ground, and began to snore very loudly.
112
"Sleeping Bear?" called the Tigress at once.
113
"And I can tell you that snoring is extremely annoying." added the tigress.
114
The bear? leapt to his feet.
115
That's cheating!
116
He roared.
117
He made a noise.
118
The monkey sat up calmly.
119
I wasn't talking!
120
He said.
121
I was breathing.
122
The owl opened his beak shut it again and gave a small puzzle twit.
123
The bear had heard enough With a roar, he charged at the monkey.
124
The monkey squealed and swung straight up into the trees.
125
The bear tried to follow, hauling himself onto a low branch.
126
The branch bent.
127
It creaked.
128
It's enough.
129
Down came the bear, landing in a heap of leaves.
130
and hurt pride.
131
The next day, The tigress crossed her paws and looked at him sternly.
132
"If you want to catch that monkey," she said.
133
You'll have to fight that flab and get fitter.
134
And so the bear began training.
135
Every morning at sunrise, The tigress made him work out.
136
He skipped.
137
He did press -ups.
138
"More!
139
More !" roared the Tigress.
140
He ran on the spot.
141
"Faster, faster !" she urged.
142
He ran around the jungle.
143
Go on, you can do it.
144
encourage the tigress, bounding alongside him.
145
And when he was really exhausted, The tigress made him do chin -ups on branches.
146
The monkey sometimes sat nearby pretending to coach.
147
"I on your knees !" Try breathing.
148
Careful!
149
That tree looks nervous.
150
bit by bit.
151
The bear grew leaner and faster.
152
One spring morning when the monkey called out, Hey, Mr. Bear!
153
You're five minutes late for training.
154
Taopee!
155
200 extra push -ups The bear lost his temper and charged at the monkey.
156
And boy was he fast!
157
The monkey managed to leap into the trees and pull his tail out of the way just in time.
158
The bear carried on tearing and ripping through the jungle.
159
He had super strength and speed.
160
and it seemed he would never give up the hunt.
161
called a monkey's voice from the right.
162
the bear started to swing on a vine to the right.
163
But just then...
164
Another monkey voice called out from the left.
165
"He he he he he!
166
Oh ho ho !" And the bear dropped off his vine and charged to the left.
167
Cutting through the undergrowth.
168
But he hadn't gone far when a monkey voice called out from high above.
169
That was one of my bears!
170
Ha ha ha!
171
And the bear began to climb up the tree as fast as he could.
172
But whichever way the bear went...
173
Up.
174
down, left, Right?
175
Straight ahead or back again?
176
There was always a monkey voice calling out.
177
And by the end of the morning, He flopped down, totally exhausted.
178
"Meow, didn't you understand?" It wasn't one monkey.
179
It was a whole family of them calling from different parts of the jungle.
180
purred the tigress, amused at her friend's slow uptake.
181
"I don't care," moaned the bear.
182
"Training's no good, dieting's no good." I want my honey and a good sleep.
183
And he stomped off to his cave for just that.
184
In fact, he slept the whole winter and well into spring until it was almost summer.
185
And of course, his snoring was far from quiet and the tigress was more annoyed than ever. and
186

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.
