Hello, I'm 13 years old and I go to Stanley School.
11
I'm in Form 3 and I'm really interested in science, but I find maths and especially English a bit hard.
12
I'm good at running and I've run for the school team in the 800 metres.
13
My dad sells farm machinery.
14
We live in the country about four miles from school, so I get to school by bicycle.
15
My uncle has a farm and I spend most of my free time helping out there.
16
He's got 50 cows and I like to help him with them.
17
I help to do the milking every Saturday and sometimes I have to clean the cow shed.
18
It's hard work, but it's good to see everything looking clean.
19
I painted it white last summer.
20
I'm good at painting.
21
My uncle's got a tractor and he says I can drive it when I'm 15.
22
I'm looking forward to that.
23
On Mondays I go to the young farmers group which I've belonged to since I was 10.
24
It's mostly fun but we also learn things like how to look after animals properly.
25
I definitely want to work in the countryside when I leave school.
26
I wouldn't like to live in a town or sit in an office all day.
27
My father thinks I should work in his business, but I want to be like my uncle and have my own farm one day.
28
My mother says I'll have to go to agricultural college first, so I'm going to work hard to pass all my exams.

Thank you, Mike.

Over deze les

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.
