1
Oh that paddlefoot, he's from the city dog, eating totem pole alive.
2
He aren't the tenderfoot.
3
That totem pole been here forever.
4
Butch?
5
One more thing to put on this landmove.
6
Time for Captain Roadtide.
7
Butch, stop watching TV a second.
8
Call Spinner.
9
Yeah?
10
We've got a special visitor.
11
Spinner!
12
Spinner!
13
Now, do you remember when I told you your daddy died in the POW camp?
14
Well, this here is Captain Kunz.
15
He was in the POW camp with Daddy.
16
Hello, little man.
17
Boy, I sure heard a bunch about you.
18
See, I was a good friend of your dad's.
19
We were in that Hanoi pit of hell together over five years.
20
Hopefully, you'll never have to experience this yourself,
21
but when two men are in a situation like me and your dad were for as long as we were,
22
you take on certain responsibilities of the other.
23
If it had been me who'd not made it,
24
if it made you cool as you'd be talking right now to my son, Jim.
25
The way it turned out, I'm talking to you.
26
Butch.
27
I got something for you.
28
This watch I got here was first purchased by your great grandfather during the First World War.
29
It was bought in a little general store in Knoxville,
30
Tennessee, made by the first company to make wristwatches.
31
Up till then, people just carried pocket watches.
32
It was bought by private doughboy,
33
Ryan Coolidge, on the day he set sail for Paris.
34
This was your great-grandfather's war watch,
35
and he wore it every day he was in that war.
36
And he'd done his duty,
37
went home to your great-grandmother,
38
took the watch off, put an old coffee can,
39
and in that can it stayed until your granddad,
40
Dane Coolidge, was called upon by his country to go overseas and fight the Germans once again.
41
It's time to call it World War II.
42
Great grandfather gave this watch to your granddad for good luck.
43
Unfortunately, Dave's luck wasn't as good as his old man's name was a Marine,
44
and he was killed, along with all the other Marines at the Battle of Wake Island.
45
Granddad was facing death.
46
He knew it.
47
None of those boys had any illusions,
48
but they were leaving that island alive.
49
So three days before the Japanese took the island,
50
your granddad asked a gunner on an Air Force transport named a Wanaki,
51
a man he'd never met before in his life,
52
to deliver to his infant son we'd never seen in the flesh, his gold watch.
53
Three days later, your granddad was dead,
54
but Warnocky kept his word.
55
After the war was over,
56
he paid a visit to your grandmother,
57
delivering to your infant father his dad's gold watch.
58
This watch.
59
This watch was on your daddy's wrist when he was shot down over that Hanoi.
60
He was captured and put in a Vietnamese prison camp.
61
He knew that if the Gooks ever saw the watch, watch.
62
It'd be confiscated, taken away.
63
The way your dad looked at it,
64
this watch was your birthright.
65
You'd be damned if any slope's gonna put the greasy other hands on his boy's birthright.
66
So he hid it.
67
In one place he knew he could hide something, his ass.
68
Five long years he wore this watch up his ass.
69
Then he died of dysentery.
70
Give me the watch.
71
I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass two years.
72
Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family.
73
And now, little man, I give the watch to you.

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.
