And the same thing goes for quarterly reports.
2
They are unreadable.
3
They're just numbers and boring and blech.
4
So what I was thinking is that maybe we should have some sort of graphic, like if we have a bad quarter put in a storm cloud.
5
And when we have a good quarter, fireworks or a race car.
6
Doesn't have to be a race car.
7
Use your imagination.
8
There's this cube on the screen and it bounces around all day, and sometimes it looks like it's heading right into the corner of the screen, and at the last minute it hits a wall and bounces away.
9
We are all just dying to see it go right into the corner.
10
Pam claims that she saw it one day when she was alone in the conference room.
11
Okay.
12
I believe she thinks she saw it.
13
I saw it.
14
I saw it, and it was amazing.
15
Who said I didn't see it?
16
Did Jim say that I didn't see it?
17
I saw it.
18
We have a lot of colored paper here.
19
Why oh why do we keep printing this on white?
20
No!
21
Come on!
22
Yeah!
23
I know.
24
I know, it's bland.
25
It's never gonna happen.
26
Dude, you gotta believe.
27
Maybe we could have some sort of riddle.
28
What are you doing?
29
Like something that you have to look for.
30
Sort of a where's Waldo.
31
Oh!
32
All right, all right, let's quit while we're ahead.
33
That was so awesome.
34
That was awesome.
35
Thank you.
36
Some days I am just on fire.
37
Why can't I say?
38
Thank you.

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: cloud /ˈklaʊ̯d/, cube /kjub/, bland /blænd/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: graphic /ˈɡɹæfɪk/, imagination /ɪˌmæd͡ʒəˈneɪʃən/, bland /blænd/
Zo oefen je met deze video
- Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
- Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als bounce, cloud, graphic.
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.
