1
Look at all this cool stuff they're doing.
2
You wouldn't believe how long it took me to figure out that this and you are the same thing.
3
What do you mean?
4
You're both human.
5
You have to admit it's a little confusing.
6
You're big and can talk and he's small and can only make noises.
7
How was I supposed to know you were the same species?
8
What?
9
I know, it's silly.
10
But then I started to notice that you grow.
11
Well, can't play guitar with little baby hands.
12
When a gem is made, it's for a reason.
13
They burst out of the ground already knowing what they're supposed to be.
14
And then that's what they are.
15
Forever.
16
But you, you're supposed to change.
17
You're never the same, even moment to moment.
18
You're allowed and expected to invent who you are.
19
What an incredible power.
20
The ability to grow up.
21
Wow.
22
You're becoming one with nature.
23
Why would I want to do that?
24
It's fun.
25
If you lived in these trees,
26
you could build a giant bird's nest and have squirrels for pets.
27
You could eat a corn pie every night,
28
and when it gets hotter it rains,
29
you'd be protected by these nice leaves.
30
Leaves?
31
Lapis, look at this!
32
This leaf turned orange.
33
That means the seasons are changing from summer to fall.
34
Soon, it's gonna happen to all the leaves on all the trees.
35
Wow.
36
So, what do you think?
37
Oh, I'm not sure.
38
That's okay.
39
There's plenty of places we haven't been yet.
40
Come on!
41
What's this?
42
This must be Empire City!
43
Isn't it cool?
44
It's very...bright.
45
Yeah!
46
That's why they say, what happens in Empire City never sleeps!
47
So what does happen in Empire City?
48
Well, let's see.
49
If you lived here, you could get a cool apartment and be a single gem taking on the big city.
50
You'd have a fun job at a local coffee shop and come home to a wacky roommate.
51
I have no idea what you're talking about.
52
Aww.
53
Wow, it's really coming down.
54
It's happening!
55
What?
56
The cluster!
57
Really?
58
What else could be making that horrible?
59
It's mounting on the earth from the inside.
60
This is it.
61
This is the end of the world.
62
Oh, that's just thunder.
63
What?
64
Yeah, everything is fine.
65
It's just thunder.
66
It happens when it rains.
67
Huh?
68
You don't know about rain?
69
I don't know anything without my screen.
70
It's okay.
71
Here.
72
Pretend this soup is the ocean.
73
When the sun warms it up,
74
the water evaporates into clouds, like the steam.
75
And when the clouds get really heavy, it rains.
76
So scalding liquid pours down from the sky?
77
No, no, it's just water.
78
It can't hurt you.
79
Here, why don't I just show you?
80
Steven, wait!
81
Come on!
82
Look, I'm okay.
83
It's just water.
84
This is just something that happens on Earth.
85
Isn't it cool?
86
Whoa!
87
Yeah!
88
Woo-hoo!
89
Yeah!
90
You did it!
91
What do you think?
92
Isn't it cool?
93
Careful.
94
Wow.
95
Lapis, it's so beautiful up here.
96
Eh, it's alright.
97
I guess I can see why you like it.
98
Hold on.
99
Whoa!
100
Check it out!
101
Woohoo!
102
Isn't it remarkable, Steven?
103
This world is full of so many possibilities.
104
Each living thing has an entirely unique experience.
105
The sights they see, the sounds they hear,
106
the lives they live are so complicated and so simple.
107
I can't wait for you to join them.
108
The organic life forms of Earth have fascinating traits despite their poor choice of residence.
109
I wonder if all of them have flight capabilities.
110
Oh, you must be Peridot.
111
Peridot!
112
What do you want?
113
You can't just shove someone off of a roof.
114
Why not?
115
This is a human!
116
He isn't like us!
117
He's fragile and soft!
118
Hey, it's not like a six-pack is going to save you from that height.
119
You could have seriously hurt him.
120
Well, how was I supposed to know that?
121
Hmm.
122
Greg, you have to excuse Peridot.
123
She's far from her home world,
124
and she still has a lot to learn about our planet.
125
No, I don't.
126
Yes, you do.
127
Uh, hey, yeah, don't worry about it.
128
In conclusion, not all of the organic beings here can fly.
129
For a moment, I really felt like things were different.
130
But they're not.
131
No matter where I go, I'm trapped.
132
But you're not.
133
You're not underwater.
134
You're not in a mirror.
135
This time you're free.
136
But I'm still on Earth.
137
Yeah, but nothing is still on Earth.
138
Everything's always changing.
139
The leaves, the cities, even Jersey changes.
140
My dad says the rest stops used to be pretty gross,
141
But now they have sushi.
142
This isn't the same world that held you prisoner.
143
Not anymore.
144
And I know it doesn't feel like home,
145
but maybe that can change too.
146
I know you can't go back to home world,
147
but if you stay here,
148
it'll be your choice to stay here.
149
It's funny.
150
For all the time I spent on Earth,
151
I barely saw any of it.
152
That's not funny.
153
That's super sad.
154
Oh wow.
155
What about all this?
156
Now that's some plants.
157
Huh.
158
Guess the countryside out here is pretty beautiful.
159
But who cares?
160
I wanted to have this for the kindergarten.
161
Even if there was nothing we can do for that one patch of land,
162
there's still a whole earth blooming all around us.
163
Yeah.
164
Why don't we try gardening in literally any other place?
165
It'll be easier than trying to plant in the kindergarten.
166
That dirt doesn't care how green your thumb is.
167
Green thumb!
168
Cause you're green!
169
I know that!
170
So, are you in?
171
Um...
172
Do it, do it, do it!
173
Say yes!
174
Ugh, fine.
175
I've got literally nothing else to do.
176
Yay!
177
Hey!
178
Your ants are back.
179
So, Andy, we heard you like marriage,
180
so we thought, why don't we all marry each other?
181
Ta-da!
182
And if that's not human enough for you,
183
we can throw in a little being born and some dying.
184
We're very sorry for your marriage.
185
We tried to cover as many celebrations in the human lifespan as we could.
186
Nice.
187
Oh boy.
188
Bismuth.
189
Is that what you're wearing to the wedding?
190
It's the nicest thing I own!
191
Looking sharp!
192
What a wonderful idea.
193
Humans found a way to make a moment's decision last forever.
194
I don't need future vision to know I'll always remember this.
195
Hahaha Steven?
196
Hi!
197
Why did we stop working on the drill?
198
Why are they just sitting there looking at nothing?
199
We worked hard and we deserve to take it easy for a little bit.
200
I mean, just look at that view.
201
It's beautiful.
202
It's going to be blown to oblivion by the cluster if we don't get back to work!
203
Working hard is important, but feeling good is important too.
204
What are you talking about?
205
Hey, what is that?
206
A C?
207
The drill?
208
Yeah!
209
Oh my gosh!
210
Now it's music!
211
Music?
212
Yeah, it's music.
213
Like this.
214
Do re mi pa so la ti do.
215
Do mi so do.
216
Isn't it pretty?
217
That's exceedingly simple.
218
Do mi so ti?
219
We're making music.
220
What is the point?
221
You're not making anything.
222
Well, if it isn't anything,
223
then why does it sound so good?
224
I suppose it's just interest.
225
Do-mi-so-do.
226
Devoid of substance or purpose, a hypothetical pattern.
227
Do-mi-so-ti.
228
For the satisfaction of bringing it to completion.
229
Sure.
230
Do-mi-so-ti.
231
Interest without meaning.
232
Solutions without problems.
233
And then you just add words.
234
Here's what I've been working on.
235
Life and death and love and birth and peace and war on the planet Earth.
236
Is there anything that's worth more than peace and love on the planet Earth?
237
Whoa, come on and sing it with me.
238
Sing?
239
The words relate to the key.
240
Key?
241
If it's a pattern, if it's a pattern,
242
then just repeat after me.
243
Life and death and love and birth.
244
Life and death and love and birth.
245
Now you sing mi fa mi mi fa mi ti la.
246
And peace and war on the planet Earth.
247
Yes, yes, that's it.
248
That's so easy.
249
Yeah, but that's what's fun about it.
250
You should write something.
251
You should write a song.
252
About what?
253
Whatever you're thinking.
254
I guess we're already here.
255
I guess we already know.
256
We've all got something to fear.
257
We've all got nowhere to go I think you're all insane
258
But I guess I am too Anybody would be if they were stuck on Earth with you Yes!
259
Life and death and love and birth and Life and death
260
and love and birth and Life and death and love
261
and birth and Peace and war on the planet Earth Is there anything that's worth more?
262
Is there anything that's worth more?
263
Is there anything that's worth more than Peace and love on the planet?

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.
