The papers all report dwindling sales numbers as the recent...
2
Now that you're here, why don't you just stay home?
3
Gotta get back to the office.
4
Why?
5
We can make dinner.
6
Can't.
7
Sean, if you want this to work out,
8
we're gonna have to be spending more time together.
9
I understand, just not tonight.
10
Well, there are things we need to talk about.
11
Like what?
12
Well, your daughter, for one.
13
Diana, why?
14
Did she kill somebody else?
15
No, Sean, she hasn't killed anyone else.
16
But she has other issues.
17
Can we just talk about this later, please?
18
You wouldn't put off talking about your own daughter.
19
I mean, what kind of father are you?
20
Okay.
21
All right.
22
What?
23
Well, her education, for one.
24
Her education?
25
What about it?
26
I mean, she's gonna go to school.
27
Of course she's going to go to school, but where?
28
I don't know.
29
Just pick a place.
30
It's Diana.
31
It's not that easy.
32
What if she gets into a fight with a kid on the playground?
33
Or what if one of her teachers gives her a timeout?
34
That might be a forever timeout for the teacher.
35
Well, we'll just have to explain to her that there are certain boundaries, all right?
36
We'll work it out.
37
No, I mean, she can't go to public school.
38
She can't go to private school.
39
We certainly can't homeschool her.
40
I would go insane.
41
Can we deal with this later?
42
But if she doesn't go to school, she'll have no friends.
43
I mean, she'll have no sleepovers, no play dates.
44
She'll have zero social skills.
45
How are we going to deal with this?
46
OK, all right.
47
I get it.
48
OK?
49
I guess you could be a little late.
50
What's on your mind?
51
Well, a lot of stuff.
52
Wow.
53
You look exactly like him.
54
Yeah, exactly.
55
I mean, every hair is perfect.
56
Oh.
57
Weird being this tall.
58
Hmm.
59
Something wrong?
60
The way you move.
61
What do you mean?
62
It's a little off.
63
Off?
64
Off how?
65
It's, uh, not quite Renard enough.
66
Yeah, yeah.
67
You need to be a little more...
68
Renardy.
69
More full of yourself.
70
Oh.
71
A lot more.
72
Ooh, exactly.
73
Like you were just elected mayor of Portland.
74
Mm-hmm.
75
And you think you deserve it.
76
And you want Nick Burkhart dead.
77
That's it.
78
There you go.
79
Monroe.
80
Rosalie.
81
Hank, back here.
82
I told you to give me your resignation.
83
I gave you my damn resignation!
84
Pretty good, huh?
85
Nick?
86
Yeah.
87
Sorry.
88
No, no, no. Well, that's a...
89
That had to hurt.
90
Oh, yeah.
91
Yeah.
92
Okay.
93
Let's do this.
94
It's time for Live at 7.
95
All right, look.
96
Maybe I haven't given Diana's education a lot of thought, all right?
97
But considering everything that's been going on recently...
98
I mean, look.
99
Look, her education is just as important to me as it is to you,
100
but right now, I have to go.
101
You don't know how happy that makes me to hear you say that.
102
Ellen, please, I have to go.
103
I know you have to go,
104
and that is why it is so amazing that you've stayed here to talk about our daughter.
105
You are an amazing father.
106
Okay, yeah, I just...
107
And...
108
Citizens of Portland, It is with great sadness that I stand before you tonight.
109
Now, I wish to say that I am profoundly grateful to the people of this wonderful city for electing me their mayor.
110
But it has become apparent that the recent attack on the North Precinct will require my full attention,
111
and I am therefore abdicating the mayorship.
112
What?
113
I cannot in good conscience leave the police department at its time of greatest need,
114
and I truly believe that I could best serve the city of Portland Great,
115
did you record this?
116
I didn't record this, it's live!
117
The recent manhunt for Detective Nick Burkhart was actually an undercover investigation staged to bring the real killer to justice.
118
Now since this is an ongoing investigation,
119
I cannot further comment, but I would like to thank Detective Burkhart for his exemplary work
120
and congratulate him on a job well done.
121
No, no, no, no, no, no!
122
No!
123
No!
124
If I find out that you had anything to do with this...
125
Thank 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.
