1
Okay, question three.
2
You're late to a party.
3
Do you A, take your pink sweater,
4
B, your boyfriend's arms will keep you warm,
5
or C, you have five sweaters to pick from and you've known for weeks which one you're wearing?
6
D, this party sounds lame.
7
I'm not going.
8
Look, do you want to pick a major or not?
9
Now, which 1D lyrics are you most likely to hang on your wall?
10
You answered mostly Cs with a few Vs, which makes you a...
11
Social Sally.
12
Your winning ways and outgoing personality make you the go-to gal in any workplace.
13
That is me.
14
That is so me.
15
Ha ha.
16
So, your possible career choices are salon receptionist,
17
spinning instructor, and handbag designer to the stars.
18
That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
19
What happens if I answer all D's?
20
Axel, what are you doing up here?
21
Sometimes I come up here to think and occasionally throw things.
22
Wait a second.
23
Do you ever throw acorns at your head?
24
Yes.
25
All the time.
26
Oh.
27
What am I doing with my life?
28
It was so much easier when I wanted to be a fireman or a superhero.
29
God, I wish I was still 17.
30
I don't know what you're so worried about, Axel.
31
Things always turn out fine for you.
32
Hmm.
33
You're right.
34
I was losing sight of my awesomeness.
35
Thanks.
36
You know, you're not the worst sister a person could have.
37
Really?
38
Yeah, I guess you're pretty good at helping people.
39
You think so?
40
Because I just love helping people so much.
41
You know, I haven't told anybody this yet,
42
but I was thinking maybe I'd major in psychology.
43
Huh.
44
Cool.
45
I think I'll do that.
46
What?
47
Yeah, I think I'm gonna be a psychology major.
48
No, no, no!
49
You can't do that!
50
You were gonna steal my major and ruin it for me!
51
Mm.
52
And how does that make you fierce?
53
Oh, no!
54
This is so not fair!
55
You won't even try, and you'll be good at it anyway.
56
And then you'll take my job because there can't be two psychologists in one family.
57
That's never done!
58
Well, I'm doing it.
59
Oh.
60
Fine.
61
Then I am going to your college.
62
You cannot go to my college!
63
If you're stealing my major,
64
then I am stealing your college.
65
Shut your fat mouth, Sue.
66
Oh, you shut your fat mouth.
67
Oh, way to copy me.
68
You are copying me.
69
You're stealing my major.
70
OK, OK, you know what, Axel?
71
I can't take this anymore.
72
I tried to help you, and instead, Ah!
73
Yeah!
74
Sir!
75
Axel, help!
76
I'll help you if you say you will not come to my school.
77
I won't take your hand until you say you're not taking my major.
78
Whatever, kiss the paper.
79
See if I can.
80
And you know, Brick, here's the thing.
81
This might not be your time right now,
82
but actually, Suzanne Somers had a great quote in her hormone book.
83
He's been asleep for the last five minutes.
84
Why didn't you tell me?
85
You seem to be making yourself feel better.
86
Look, Frankie, he'll be fine.
87
Look at how much we worried about Axel and Sue,
88
and we hardly ever worry about them anymore.
89
You stay off the roof.
90
And you, you're majoring in business.
91
Thank you!
92
The thing is, you never stop worrying about your kids.
93
Sometimes they need you to scrape them off the roof.
94
Sometimes you have to give them a little nudge.
95
Boom!
96
Business.
97
In before the stroke of midnight.
98
Woo!
99
And sometimes you get a fairy tale ending without even helping them at all.
100
I'll get it.
101
I was at the dance last night.
102
You left your shoe.
103
Oh, thanks.
104
I'm Cindy.
105
I'm getting some frozen yogurt.
106
Want to come?
107
No, I'm full.
108
Well, sometimes you gotta help a little.
109
Brick, she was asking you out.
110
Really?
111
Yes, go, go.
112
Wait up, I'm coming.
113
Brick, walk.
114
So where did you find my shoe?
115
Under the table.
116
Really?
117
I thought it was there.

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.
