Shadowing Practice: SATC | Carrie Irritates Everyone - Learn English Speaking with Video

In a town where everyone's dying to couple up, sometimes there's nothing better than being out of a relationship.

You have time to do your laundry, freedom to play your favorite bad music really loudly.

But the best part of being out of a relationship, plenty of time to catch up with your friends.

I feel sorry for Big, I really do, because if you think about it, I was the best thing that ever happened to him.

Actually, no, I pity him, because I get to walk away and be me, and he has to walk away and stay him, you know?

And who wants to be him when you can be me?

I mean, I'm smart, I am funny.

I was this thing, you know?

I was it.

I mean, I was this magic moment.

I was the abracadabra.

I was totally the poof in the relationship.

I mean, I've got more poof in one finger than he could ever have.

I mean, jeez, sometimes I poof just hailing a cab.

So I guess it's better to know now, so that I can go poof someone else.

Someone who deserves me and not some screwed -up, insecure guy who can't deal with a woman who's got her act together.

Now, I'm gonna end up deliriously happy, and Big is gonna die old and alone, and I pity him.

Really, I pity him.

What?

All right, who's gonna tell her?

What?

Honey, you're obsessed with talking about Big, and frankly, we can't take it anymore.

It's out of our league.

What is this an intervention?

Yes stop her before she obsesses again Isn't part of the whole breaking up process

that you get free reign to whine to your friends of course you do

But maybe you should think about whining to a shrink Why should I pay someone

when we can talk for free and then go get a drink or whatever?

I don't need professional help.

I've got you guys Yeah, for about another ten minutes and then we're cutting you off cold turkey Hey, I don't need therapy.

I need new friends Look, we're as fucked up as you are.

It's like the blind leading the blind.

Sometimes it helps to talk to somebody who's objective.

Okay.

I understand why you see a shrink, you know, because you're always in your head, but I'm fine.

I am functioning.

Besides, I don't really, to be honest, I just don't buy the whole shrink thing.

Neither do I.

I mean, my parents believe that any head problem could be solved with physical exercise.

That's why all of us are really good tennis players.

It's a slippery slope.

You know, first you're going once a week, then it's three times a week, and then the next thing you know, you're starting your sentences with, well, my shrink says...

My shrink says that's a very common fear.

Therapy, it's.. it's just so self -indulgent.

Ancient man didn't need shrinks to survive.

Ancient man only lived till 30.

Were my friends right?

Had I crossed the line from pleasantly neurotic into annoyingly troubled?

I decided to seek my own professional help.

How can you not have a shrink?

This is Manhattan.

Even the shrinks have shrinks.

The fact was Stanford was right.

A therapist was as ubiquitous in Manhattan as pirated cable.

I have three.

You do not.

I do.

One for when I want to be coddled, one for when I want tough love, and one for when I just want to look at a really beautiful man.

Well, that's sick.

Which is why I see the other two.

You want a name?

Oh, no. Miranda's shrink referred me to one.

Uh, Dr. Ellen Greenfield.

Dr. G!

Oh, my God!

She is hot hot hot.

Gwyneth Paltrow sees her.

Why does she go to a shrink?

She suffers from high self -esteem

/æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: frankly /fɹæŋkli/, abracadabra /ˌæbɹəkəˈdæbɹə/
/w/ — met ronde lippen: whine /ˈwaɪ̯n/, ubiquitous /juːˈbɪkwɪtəs/

Zo oefen je met deze video

Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
Begin op 0,75× snelheid, spreek zin voor zin na en ga terug naar normale snelheid zodra het makkelijk gaat.
Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als pity, finger, refer.

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.
