Hi.
2
I have an appointment with Emily Charlton.
3
Andrea Sachs?
4
Yes?
5
Great.
6
Human resources certainly has an odd sense of humor.
7
Follow me.
8
Okay, so I was Miranda's second assistant, but her first assistant recently got promoted, so now I'm the first.
9
Oh, and you're replacing yourself.
10
Well, I am trying.
11
Miranda sacked the last two girls after only a few weeks.
12
We need to find someone who can survive here.
13
Do you understand?
14
Yeah, of course.
15
Who's Miranda?
16
Oh, my God.
17
I will pretend you did not just ask me that.
18
She's the editor-in-chief of Runway.
19
Not to mention a legend.
20
You work a year for her, and you can get a job at any magazine you want.
21
A million girls would kill for this job.
22
Oh, it sounds like a great opportunity.
23
I'd love to be considered.
24
Andrea, Runway is a fashion magazine, so an interest in fashion is crucial.
25
What makes you think I'm not interested in fashion?
26
Who's that?
27
Nobody.
28
Um, uh, well, Human Resources sent her off about the new assistant job, and I was sort of pre-interviewing her for you,
29
but she's hopeless and totally wrong.
30
Clearly, I'm going to have to do that myself, because the last two you sent me were completely inadequate, so center in.
31
That's all.
32
Right. Who are you?
33
My name is Andy Sachs.
34
I recently graduated from Northwestern University.
35
What are you doing here?
36
Well, I think I could do a good job as your assistant. And, um...
37
Yeah, I came to New York to be a journalist
38
and sent letters out everywhere and finally got a call from Elias Clark and met with Sherry up at Human Resources and...
39
Basically, it's this or Otto Universe.
40
So you don't read runway?
41
Uh, no. And before today, you had never heard of me?
42
No. And you have no style or sense of fashion?
43
Well, um, I think that depends on what you're...
44
No, no. That wasn't a question.
45
Um, I was editor-in-chief of the Daily Northwestern.
46
I also won a national competition for college journalists with my series on the janitor's union, which exposed the exploitation of...
47
Yeah, you know, okay.
48
You're right.
49
I don't fit in here.
50
I am not skinny or glamorous, and I don't know that much about fashion, but I'm smart.
51
I learn fast, and I will work very hard.
52
I've got the exclusive on the Cavalli for Gwyneth.

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.
