Welcome to the Point of View mini-stories for Role of Media 2.
2
Okay, same story, same mini-story from the mini-story lessons, but three different versions now.
3
The first one will be about the past, ten years ago.
4
Ten years ago there was a man named Georgie.
5
Georgie was a warmongerer.
6
He wanted to kill, kill, kill.
7
He especially wanted to kill Hugo.
8
He wanted to tear Hugo limb from limb.
9
But Hugo was basically pacifistic.
10
He didn't want a war.
11
He only joked about Georgie and laughed at him.
12
When Hugo joked, however, Georgie became hysterical.
13
He yelled and screamed to his friends.
14
He yelled, join me and let's kill Hugo and his friends.
15
Let's kill them all and let's kill their families and let's commit terrible atrocities.
16
But Georgie's friends were reluctant.
17
They said, Hugo is just joking.
18
We don't need to kill him.
19
This made Georgie more angry.
20
He tried to whip up his friend's anger.
21
So he concocted terrible lies about Hugo.
22
He said that Hugo loved to kill puppies and babies.
23
He disseminated these lies on TV and on the internet.
24
Finally, he succeeded.
25
He drove his circle of friends to war.
26
They attacked Hugo, but Hugo was ready.
27
He had learned kung fu from Jet Li.
28
He kicked Georgie's ass and broke his nose.
29
Finally, he elicited an apology from Georgie.
30
Georgie said, I'm sorry Hugo, I'm just a stupid fanatic.
31
Hugo said, it's okay, little Georgie.
32
Now, go home.
33
All right, great.
34
With this next one, we're going to start with since seven years ago or for seven years.
35
Okay, here we go.
36
For seven years, Georgie has been a warmonger.
37
He has wanted to kill and kill and kill.

40
But Hugo has basically been pacifistic.
41

45
Let's kill them all and kill their families.
46
Let's commit terrible atrocities.
47

62
I'm just a stupid fanatic.
63
And Hugo said, well, it's okay, little Georgie.
64
Now, please go home.
65
Okay, you'll notice that for more than half of this version, I used have, had, has, been, right?
66
Because these are repeated actions starting seven years ago, continuing until now.
67
And finally, I changed to the past tense because it was a specific action, right?
68
Just a one-time action.
69
Georgie decided to whip up his friend's anger.
70
He concocted terrible lies.
71
They went to war.
72
Now I'm using the past tense because these are all single actions that were in the past and are finished.
73
All right.
74
Let's go back again to the top, this time into the future.
75
year.
76
There's a guy named Georgie.

89
But Georgie's friends will be reluctant.
90
They'll say, look, Hugo is just joking.
91
We don't need to kill him.

I'm just a stupid fanatic.
104

105
Now go home.
106
As always in the future, you have to listen for those ul sounds.
107
Ul, ul, heal, heal, Hugo ul, Hugo ul.
108
Sometimes that ul sound is very difficult to hear.
109
For example, Hugo ul say, Hugo ul say.
110
It's hard to hear that ol' sound, right, which is will in the future.
111
But we still, a native speaker will not usually say Hugo will say.
112
We'll say Hugo will say, Hugo will say.
113
The ol' is almost silent.
114
There's really more just a pause there that tells us it's the future.
115
So it's okay.
116
Just listen carefully.
117
See if you can hear those ol' ol' ol' sounds after the subjects.
118
Just listen carefully.
119
Now please go back.
120
to each version.
121
After each version, pause.
122
Try to tell that version yourself.
123
Now, do not worry about being perfect.
124
You do not need to be perfect.
125
In fact, don't try to be perfect.
126
Just try to tell the story yourself as best as you can.
127
If it's difficult, try pausing after every sentence and then copy that sentence.
128
Do that with each version.
129
Okay, I'll see you next time.
130
Bye-bye.

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.
