The End The End The End The End Ha ha!
2
Hey little lady, you'd be a lot prettier if you smiled.
3
What?
4
Who are you?
5
I'm a man, so I know what I'm talking about.
6
Smile and you'll be a lot more popular.
7
And he told me I wouldn't be pretty unless I smiled.
8
You are very pretty.
9
And thanks to the puberty app on my phone, we can see what lies ahead.
10
Wait, this can't be real.
11
I already had braces.
12
I'm afraid you have to get them again.
13
The man we thought was your orthodontist was actually a rogue periodontist.
14
Braces, again?
15
Why am I the only one in this family who needs braces?
16
Don't look so smug, boy.
17
Let's try this app on you.
18
Hello, Aaron Eckhart.
19
Whoa, puberty!
20
Oh, my luck!
21
We got this in the mail today!
22
Oh, what is it?
23
Hello, Simpsons!
24
It's me, Artie Ziff, in pre-recorded form!
25
Artie Ziff?
26
Isn't that the rich guy who could have been our dad?
27
Great news!
28
I'm getting married, and you're invited!
29
Why, you ask?
30
Am I getting married?
31
I've found my soulmate!
32
Bye!
33
So what else is in the mail?
34
We got a flyer from Lowe's!
35
You're not really thinking of going, are you?
36
That sure kept trying to break us up.
37
Now, I am sensing conflicted feelings.
38
If you come, I promise you a wonderful time.
39
Thank you.
40
I'm done with the top braces.
41
We'll put the bottoms in next week.
42
I can't close my mouth.
43
The brackets are holding up your lips at the edges.
44
They'll adjust.
45
The main thing is, you're happy.
46
I'm not happy.
47
Mmm.
48
Mmm.
49
Mmm.
50
The End The End Hmm...
51
Hmm...
52
Hmm...
53
Feet!
54
Homer Simpson!
55
The man who beat me to Planet Marge!
56
You've done alright for a billionaire.
57
Hey, I'm not made of money.
58
Although actually I am.
59
After my parole, I got rich selling fireplace logs that look like cash.
60
I.E. money to burn.
61
Money to burn.
62
That is the greatest!
63
It says money to burn!
64
It looks like you're burning money!
65
I know!
66
Talk to someone else!
67
Hey pal, you're a news guy.
68
Give it to me straight.
69
Is this wedding on the level?
70
Here's the scoop.
71
It's legit!
72
In other news, local newsman hopes to score with caterer.
73
Now Homer, as this is a bachelor party, I want to show you something.
74
Now, shut your eyes.
75
You've never seen a body this enticing.
76
Exactly what I imagined!
77
Food comma.
78
He'll be fine.
79
Hey girlfriend!
80
Uh, who me?
81
Lisa, did you get your eyebrows waxed?
82
You look amazing!
83
What's going on?
84
Her smile makes me feel full, like I actually ate dinner last night.
85
And so, after saving Wilbur, Charlotte crawled off to die, as all barn spiders do.
86
Bravo Lisa, what a positive note on which to end the class.
87
Positive?
88
Positive?
89
Charlotte died alone!
90
Well, your smiling face made dying alone fun.
91
And believe me, that's where I'm headed.
92
So as long as I'm smiling, it doesn't matter what comes out of my mouth?
93
Can it really be that people are this shallow?
94
Lisa!
95
Lisa!
96
Lisa!
97
And am I shallow enough to enjoy this?
98
I am!
99
Hey, gorgeous.
100
Hey, Bart.
101
Lisa?
102
Oh, yuck, I didn't know that was you.
103
It's the smile.
104
It's totally changed how people see me.
105
Well, I just want you to know, you'll always be gross to me.
106
Oh, thank God.
107
Well, I guess being here sort of ends a chapter in my life. So, Lakaym.
108
Excuse me, we need someone to walk the bride down the aisle. Could you?
109
First tell me one thing.
110
How long is the aisle?
111
About 20 feet.
112
Alright, I'll do it.
113
They grow up so fast.
114
They'll always be my little girl.
115
Hmm.
116
Friends!
117
Family!
118
I take great delight in informing you that the bride and groom have written their own vows.
119
Oh my god.
120
This is too weird.
121
I can't take this anymore.
122
We're getting out of here.
123
Yeah, this is really creepy.
124
Even the rhino's leaving.
125
And this is a picture of us at our wedding.
126
You're so happy.
127
I'm not happy.
128
This smile is so wrong.
129
I mean, how hard is this?
130
The happy girl put the thing in the hole.
131
Wait a minute.
132
I could use my new power to change these things.
133
Use it for good.
134
I can make it happen!
135
You posers!
136
I was for Lisa before it was cool!
137
Oh!
138
Holes are in and you're doing great.
139
You're picking up the key group, girls who don't like Milhouse.
140
Like every election with one week to go, this is in the bag.
141
Don't be so sure.
142
I'm up against a tough opponent, W.S.
143
Buckler.
144
Don't worry, you just keep smiling.
145
Well, I do have an orthodontist appointment tomorrow for a tune-up.
146
In the bag, Madam President.
147
But don't be so sure.
148
Okay, kid, your bottom braces are on.
149
What happened to my smile?
150
In six months, you'll have perfect teeth.
151
Six months?
152
I have to smile now.
153
No, I can power through this.
154
Ow!
155
Let's see, let's take this.
156
Stop that!
157
Oh, come on, Marge.
158
This mini bar is paid for.
159
Palmer, stop it.
160
I can't help thinking about that poor woman.
161
I already only married her because she looks like me.
162
I mean a lot like me.
163
You're right.
164
Are you sure we should be here?
165
Artie?
166
As a woman, I just want to tell your wife what's really going on here.
167
Say it to her face!
168
I've spent years trying to build the perfect copy of the only woman for me.
169
You, Marge.
170
But they were all inferior in some way!
171
Why would you marry a machine?
172
I didn't!
173
It was one last trick.
174
I thought when you saw how perfect we looked together, you would realize that we were meant to be.
175
Artie?
176
Yes?
177
You're not dumb.
178
You're smart.
179
And I think this crazy project actually had some brilliance in it.
180
Imagine if you used that noodle for good.
181
I will become a better human being.
182
Terrific.
183
And then you'll love me?
184
No!
185
Um, let's quiet down, please.
186
And now we have a very special moderator.
187
Governor Mary Bailey.
188
Our first candidate is Dubya Spuckler.
189
Dubya!
190
Our other candidate is ill, so she'll be Skyping in.
191
Lisa Simpson.
192
Lisa, I'm sorry.
193
What do you have?
194
What I have is an agenda for this school.
195
I can deliver results, while my opponents can't even spell results.
196
Lisa doesn't sound sick at all.
197
You said you've done this before.
198
Lisa's using a funny face app.
199
Oh.
200
Oh.
201
Listen, I tried to fool you and that was wrong!
202
I still have good ideas!
203
All I hear is nag nag nag!
204
Job ya!
205
Job ya!
206
Job ya!
207
I didn't want to believe my popularity was based on my stupid smile.
208
Ugh, but it was.
209
You're just a kid and things are changing.
210
Told you you should smile more!
211
The future is now!
212
Woohoo!

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.
