we are looking at an IELTS Speaking Part 2 cue card on the topic of a photo of yourself that you like.
8
I'll read the cue card to you now.
9
Describe a photo of yourself that you like.
10
You should say when it was taken,
11
who took it, what you were doing in the photo,
12
and explain why you like this photo.
13
Okay, first thing, let's listen to the sample so you can hear the model spoken naturally.

17
One of my favourite photos of myself was taken about three years ago,
18
during a hiking trip in a mountainous region of my home country.
19
It was taken by a friend of mine from university who is really into photography.
20
In the photo,
21
I'm standing on the edge of a rocky cliff overlooking a stunning blue lake with snow-capped mountains in the distance.
22
I'm wearing a windbreaker and a backpack,
23
and I remember that exact moment because the wind was so strong,
24
it almost knocked me off balance.
25
I was laughing, and my friend managed to capture that natural, candid expression.
26
The lighting was perfect, too,
27
as the sun was starting to set and filled the sky with orange and pink hues.
28
I love this photo because it reminds me of a moment when I felt truly alive.
29
I felt far from the stress of my daily life.
30
I also feel it captures who I really am,
31
someone who enjoys exploring new places and finding beauty in the outdoors.
32
Every time I look at it,
33
I find a sense of peace and freedom.
34
For me, this photo is more than just a picture.
35
It's a snapshot of a memory I'll always cherish.
36
Thank you.
37
Okay, we will now start this week's speech shadowing exercise.

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.
