Hello and welcome to another episode of Elephant English Podcasts.
2
Today I'm going to be talking about what I did yesterday using regular and irregular forms of the past simple tense.
3
Yesterday I woke up at nine o 'clock because I was on holiday and I didn't have to go to work.
4
After I woke up, I got up and I had my breakfast.
5
I had some cereals and some milk.
6
Also, I had a cup of tea.
7
My cat was hungry too, so I gave her some food.
8
At 9 .30, I brushed my teeth, I washed my face, I got dressed and I made my bed.
9
I wanted to make another youtube video so i used my computer
10
and my microphone to record a new video i spent about two hours on the computer
11
and when i finished i decided to go for a walk i went for a walk around my city
12
and i visited a big park where everyone was having a picnic or taking their dogs for a walk.
13
I sat down on the grass because the weather was beautiful.
14
I bought a snack and a drink in one of the supermarkets because I was very hungry.
15
After I ate my snack I went back home.
16
At three o 'clock I took my cat to the vet.
17
We put her inside her carrier which is like a bag for cats, and we walked to the vet.
18
When we arrived she meowed a lot.
19
The vet said that she was very nervous and when she gave her the injection my cat attacked the vet.
20
It hurt a lot but I wasn't surprised because my cat was very scared.
21
When we finished at the vet's, we came home and she slept for 3 hours because she was tired.
22
She was angry with us but after she slept she was happy.
23
I started to make dinner at 5 .30 so half past 5 and I had dinner at 6 o 'clock.
24
I had lasagna and it was delicious.
25
While I was eating I watched the 8th episode of the new Stranger Things season.
26
I didn't watch the final episode because it was too long.
27
It was 2 hours.
28
I thought that the episode was very entertaining but in general I think that the series is is a little bit repetitive.
29
After I finished my dinner, I decided to tidy the house a bit because it was untidy.
30
I tidied the living room and then I washed the dishes and vacuumed the floor.
31
I didn't mop the floor because my cat was very active
32
and when I normally mop the floor she walks all over it.
33
Before I went to bed I had a little snack which is called supper.
34
I watched the news on tv but afterwards there was nothing else on tv.
35
Then I played with my cat to make her tired, I put my pyjamas on, I brushed my teeth and I went to bed.
36
So today we have talked about what I did yesterday using the past tenses.

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.
