- Okay, first of all, you and I answer the phones.
2
The phone must be answered every single time it rings.
3
Calls roll to voicemail and she gets very upset.
4
If I'm not here...
5
Andrea, Andrea, you are chained to that desk.
6
Well...
7
What if I need to...?
8
What?
9
No. One time an assistant left the desk because she sliced her hand open with a letter opener.
10
And Miranda missed Lagerfeld just before he boarded a 17 -hour flight to Australia.
11
She now works at TV Guide.
12
Man the desk at all times, got it.
13
- Uh...
14
Miranda Priestly's office?
15
No, she's not available.
16
Who is-- Thank you.
17
Yes, I will tell her you called yet again.
18
Right, remember you and I have totally different jobs.
19
I mean you get coffee and you run errands, yet I'm in charge of her schedule, her appointments and her expenses and um,
20
most importantly um, I get to go with her to Paris for Fashion Week in the fall.
21
I get to wear couture, I get to all the shows and all the parties, I meet all of the designers, it's divine.
22
Okay, now stay here.
23
I'm going to the art department to give them the book. Do.
24
This is the book.
25
Now, it is a mock -up.
26
of everything in the current issue.
27
And we deliver it to Miranda's apartment every night.
28
And she returns it to us in the morning with Her notes.
29
Yeah.
30
The second assistant is supposed to do this, but Miranda is very private, and she does not like strangers in her house.
31
So until she decides that you're not a total psycho, I get the lovely task of waiting around for the book.
32
Oh, Emily, what do I do with it?
33
- - Hello, Mrs. Priestley's office.
34
I...
35
That's what I'm at Miranda Priestly's office.

38
Aha.
39
Okay, can you please spell Gabana?
40
Hello?
41
Guess not.
42
I guessed an eight and a half.
43
Wow, that's very nice of you, but I don't think I need these.
44
Miranda?
45
She knows what I look like.
46
- Do you?
47
- Eh.
48
Emily.
49
Thank you.
50
Emily?
51
She means you...
52
We just cut on the bias and so what we-- No, but that's not what I asked you.
53
I couldn't have been clearer.
54
There you are, Emily.
55
How many times do I have to scream your name?
56
Actually, it's Andy.
57
My name is Andy.
58
Andrea, but everybody calls me Andy.
59

60
Okay, what kind of skirts do you use?
61
Please bore someone else with your questions.
62
And make sure we have Pier 59 at 8 :00 a .m tomorrow.
63
And remind Jocelyn, I need to see a few of those satchels that Mark is doing in the pony.
64
And then tell Simone I'll take Jackie if Maggie isn't available.
65
Did DeMarchalier confirm?
66

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.
