Unit 8.
2
B. The Seven Ravens A once upon a time there lived a man and a woman who had seven sons.
3
The couple wanted a daughter and eventually they had a girl who they loved very much.
4
One day the father needed water for the child, so he sent the seven brothers to a well in the forest to get it.
5
Once there though, the boys began to fight and the water jug fell into the well.
6
The boys did not know what to do.
7
They were afraid to go home.
8
Bee hours passed.
9
Where are those boys? shouted the angry father.
10
They are probably playing a game and forgot about the water.
11
I wish they were all turned into ravens.
12
When he looked up, he saw seven black birds flying away.
13
The father was shocked.
14
What have I done? he thought.
15
But it was too late.
16
He could not take back his words.
17
See, in time the girl grew up and discovered she had brothers.
18
The story of their misfortune affected her greatly, and she was determined to find them.
19
For years she searched and did not stop.
20
Finally she found their home.
21
To enter she needed a special key made from a chicken bone, which she did not have.
22
The girl thought for a moment, and then took a knife and cut off one of her fingers.
23
With it she opened the front door and went inside.
24
On a table there were seven plates and seven cups.
25
She ate and drank a little from each of them.
26
In the last cup she accidentally dropped a ring that her parents had given her.
27
Titi eventually the ravens returned for their meal.
28
The girl hid behind a door and watched.
29
When the seventh raven drank from his cup, something hit his mouth.
30
The raven recognized it immediately.
31
It was his parents' ring.
32
I wish our sister were here, he said, and then we could be free.
33
Their sister quickly ran to them, and suddenly the ravens were human again.
34
The brothers kissed their sister, and they all went home together happily.

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.
