1
Good morning, Medford High School.
2
This is class president Sheldon Cooper with an important science bulletin.
3
This Wednesday morning, the Nobel Prize in Physics will be announced, and I'd like to invite each
4
and every one of you to my garage to listen live at 5 :00 AM and be a part of scientific history.
5
Food and refreshments will be served.
6
You worried your kid just invited the whole school to your house?
7
Five in the morning for a Swedish science thing?
8
Not at all.
9
In other school news, this Friday night, our football team will be playing another football team.
10
You'll be amazed to know that the Nobel Prize, while being the most prestigious award in science, is not generally celebrated in this country.
11
No parades, no fireworks.
12
Which is why I thought having a breakfast celebration was not only appropriate, but long overdue.
13
Thank you.
14
You may have noticed that I went with Cheerios, and believe me, it was a decision that I came to after careful consideration.
15
There were birds on the Froot Loops, Cocoa Puffs, and Corn Flakes, so they were out.
16
I'm sorry.
17
And leprechauns and elves are magical creatures that would be a slap in the face to the scientific community.
18
Anyway, the festivities begin at 4 :30 a .m.
19
You're most welcome to come.
20
As are you unhappy, bad boy.
21
I don't think anyone's showing up.
22
Not even Tam.
23
I'm here.
24
Yeah, but...
25
You're my mom.
26
You live on the premises.
27
At least Dr. Sturgis should be here any minute.
28
Shelley, I'm afraid Dr. Sturgis isn't coming this morning.
29
Why not?
30
He isn't feeling well.
31
Oh dear.
32
Thank you.
33
Should we send him a get -well card?
34
I think that'd be terrific.
35
Good morning and welcome to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
36
The announcements were starting.
37
What mistake?
38
The Academy has concluded its - We're meeting and we are ready to announce this year.
39
- I'll be in my room if you need me.
40
As usual, I will read the announcements first in English versus Swedish, then the citation in German, French and Russia.
41
And this year's Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded to...
42
Yes.
43
Henry Kendall, Jerome Friedman and Richard Taylor for the discovery of quarks.
44
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.
