In front of her, there is a girl with pink hair.

This is it, she thinks.

She sings well.

And two of the judges say yes.

Then the reporter from the audition says,
103
Are you going to sing with Emma in the first round?
104
No, I'm going to sing on my own.
105
But people want you to sing together, says the reporter.

Emma does not answer.
114
So Sophia texts her again in the afternoon.

Nervous?

Then Emma answers.
118
Don't text me again.
119
Just then, Sophia's sister arrives home. Are you OK?
120
asks Laura.
121
No, says Sophia.

130
Oh no, says Sophia.
131
It isn't true.
132
Why?
133
Perhaps the reporter wants a good story, says Laura.
134
Sophia phones Emma.
135
But Emma does not answer.
136
Soon, everyone is talking about the story.

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.
