Hey!
2
Hey Mercury!
3
You know why I never went to college?
4
Uh, I don't know.
5
Because I already have a million degrees!
6
Yeah, good one.
7
Oh, I see.
8
You wanna hang out with them?
9
Well, you've got me!
10
Nobody else is as close to me as you are!
11
Well, an average of 35 million miles is not my definition of close,
12
but sure, I'm the closest planet to you.
13
I don't mean that!
14
I mean...
15
I mean we're friends!
16
Best friends!
17
Or maybe.. maybe I'm wrong and...
18
Hey, no, we are friends.
19
Sure.
20
I mean, you're pretty cool.
21
Actually, I'm pretty hot!
22
Oh...
23
Yeah, another sun pun.
24
Oh, oh wait...
25
You're gonna sneeze?
26
Kinda.
27
It's.. it's corona.
28
Wait, isn't that an earthling disease?
29
No!
30
Coronal mass ejection!
31
Oh wait, are you having a solar flare?
32
GAAAHHH!
33
Oh, my insides are...
34
GAAAHHH!
35
Uh-uh, I think I'm gonna explode!
36
I'm sorry, dear friend, but that sounds too dangerous to me!
37
You explode thousands of times every single second right next to me and you won't...
38
GAAAHHH!
39
Wait a second...
40
I know what this is!
41
But calm down, guys, he's not exploding!
42
Dude, how do you know?
43
Cause I've been there!
44
Relax, Mercury.
45
You're just going through tectonic activity activity.
46
Tectonic what now?
47
It just means that your core is active and your surface is shifting and crashing.
48
I actually thought I was the only one around here who did that.
49
So am I really okay?
50
Yeah, no worries, man.
51
Just hurts a little sometimes.
52
If the earthlings can survive living through all those earthquakes and floods,
53
can't be that bad, right?
54
Oh, wow, that's a relief.
55
Although side effects may include a contracting crust,
56
so you may become even smaller.
57
Maybe you'll Pluto 2.0.
58
Ha ha ha ha.
59
That's not funny, Earth.
60
Earth?
61
EARTH?
62
Hey, uh, Earth?
63
Yup.
64
Uh, it's- it's cool that now we're friends and all.
65
Yeah.
66
Hey, so, uh, Mars sucks, right?
67
Yes, totally!
68
Ugh, don't get me started.
69
He always has to be right about everything.
70
Who does he think he is?
71
Jupiter?
72
Yeah!
73
Haha, good one!
74
Yes, everyone sucks except us.
75
You know what I think?
76
Heh, heh, I think they.. are all jealous!
77
Because you get to be the best friend with the only planet that has life!
78
Huh.
79
Huh, what?
80
You don't remember much, do you?
81
About what?
82
Well, I used to have,
83
let's say, conditions, for life to flourish.
84
What are you on about?
85
Well, around 700 million years ago, I...
86
I had good weather, habitable conditions, and...
87
You know, surface water.
88
Surface water?
89
Yeah.
90
We used to be quite similar,
91
but, you know, things happened.
92
But hey, I'm...
93
I'm all the better for it, right?
94
Pfft.
95
Who wants those annoying Earthlings?
96
Er...
97
Venuslings?
98
Heh heh.
99
Pfft!
100
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
101
Oh, good one, Venus!
102
Hoo!
103
Oh, good one!
104
W-what?
105
You?
106
Life?
107
Water?
108
Pfft!
109
Ha ha ha ha!
110
Oh, please!
111
Pfft!
112
Ha ha ha!
113
Oh, man!
114
Hey!
115
I'm not- Ha!
116
Oh, you're not what, friend?
117
Nothing.
118
Heh.
119
Yeah, yeah, I'm just.. kidding.
120
Friend.
121
Ha!
122
Oh, I knew it.
123
Oh, dude.
124
Venuslings.
125
Pfft!
126
The Moon Hey Mars, you got a bad hand going there old buddy?
127
Shut up.
128
Whoa, okay?
129
Did you hear that moon?
130
Yes, he told you to shut up Hey,
131
why is everyone being rude to me today?
132
We're being rude?
133
Earth you just insulted Saturn's moons,
134
and all moons for that matter.
135
What did I say?
136
That moons should know their place.
137
I.. uh, yes, that may have come out wrong.
138
But what I meant is that you think you're better than the moons.
139
In fact, you think you're better than the rest of us, don't you?
140
Well, I have life, don't I?
141
Seriously, Earth?
142
Here we go.
143
Dude, you're unbelievable.
144
You're becoming just as unlikable as Venus!
145
Is that so hard?
146
Guys, I...
147
I can't help being special.
148
Earth.
149
Having life doesn't make you special.
150
Oh, please, elaborate.
151
If you multiply the rate of star formations with a fraction of stars that may have planets,
152
and then multiply that with the number of planets that could sustain life,
153
and then that with the average lifetime of a planet, we get...
154
Uh, Jupiter?
155
At minimum, 1.4 billion planets potentially like you in our galaxy, Earth.
156
But I...
157
I worked so hard.
158
I put up with so much to be a good home for my earthlings!
159
But I'm not.. special?
160
The universe is big.
161
There's at least two of everything.
162
Sorry.
163
You know what could really make you special?
164
If you stop being so arrogant and apologize to Titan!
165
And if I don't?
166
Then you can play solitaire, dude.
167
Oh, I...
168
I get it now.
169
Ugh...
170
Have you seen Earth?
171
I haven't had Earthling trash shot at me in a while.
172
How would I know?
173
What?
174
You're literally his neighbor!
175
What?
176
So are you!
177
Well, I- Oh!
178
Shh!
179
Hey, look over there!
180
What the?
181
Has he completely lost it now?
182
Last time I saw him,
183
he went all anxious over the sun going red giant.
184
Maybe we should leave him alone.
185
Could be a healthy coping mechanism- HEY!
186
EARTH!
187
YOU COMPLETELY LOST IT NOW!
188
Psssshhhh!
189
I'm trying to save us all!
190
Could you shut up just once!?
191
Relax!
192
What's going on here, Earth?
193
Okay, okay!
194
I'm collecting space dust, hydrogen, and other gases!
195
I'm trying to make another sun so we can spin around that one instead!
196
One that maybe isn't as aggressive and...
197
Earth, I feel like I don't tell you enough how STUPID you are!
198
Yeah, yeah, I know.
199
All my ideas are bad, and...
200
No, Earth, this is a really bad idea.
201
Do you know anything about how a star is born?
202
The Sun formed out of the same dust as us through intense gravity!
203
If you repeated that, there'd be a whole system full of new planets and orbits,
204
and we'd all get destroyed!
205
Sorry, Earth.
206
He's right.
207
Oh.
208
What?
209
So we really do have to stick with our Sun?
210
Yeah.
211
It's not like one of us is a supermassive planet made
212
of the kind of stuff the Sun is made of with a strong gravitational pull around here.
213
Hey, guys!
214
What are you up to?
215
Hey there, little guy.
216
You came from Earth, right?
217
Oh god, okay.
218
Keep yourself together.
219
Uh, uh, yeah, yeah, I'm from Earth.
220
Cool, me too.
221
Though, he really makes me feel like I don't matter sometimes.
222
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-maybe he...
223
...doesn't know how important you are?
224
You know what?
225
I-I-I think you're right!
226
I-I should go on orbit another planet to show him!
227
Hey, thanks, Earthling!
228
You hear that, Earth?!
229
I'm leaving!
230
Wait, did I just end the world?
231
Hey, Earth's moon!
232
Hey, Mars...
233
Can I orbit you for now?
234
Huh, if Earth doesn't mind...
235
Trust me, he doesn't.
236
Alright then, go over there where Phobos and Deimos are orbiting.
237
Aren't you.. asteroids?
238
No!
239
We're moons!
240
I'm Phobos!
241
And I'm Deimos!
242
Can you help us be like you?
243
Uh.. sure.
244
How?
245
Maybe you can crash into Mars!
246
And we can use the space debris to grow bigger!
247
Yes!
248
Bigger!
249
Hehehe!
250
Okay, the moons of Mars are frickin' weird.
251
Oh!
252
Moon!
253
Where the heck were you?
254
I'm off my axis and my tides are all out of whack!
255
Get back in orbit, now!
256
I guess he learned his lesson, huh?
257
Huh?
258
Hey, wanna crash against him?
259
Shh!
260
Go away!
261
You can't make me go away, I'm always here.
262
I'm the dark side of the moon.
263
Wha- that's just nonsense!
264
That's just the facts, bruh.
265
You think there's one side of me that's always cloaked in shadow?
266
That is simply not true!
267
Yes, it is.
268
How?
269
Because we're tidally locked.
270
You don't even know what that word means.
271
It means we're always facing only one side.
272
One side of what?
273
Uh.. the Earth?
274
Exactly!
275
If we were tidally locked with the Sun,
276
who is the source of light in the solar system,
277
Then sure, we'd have a dark side,
278
but we're tidally locked with the Earth,
279
which orbits the sun and we spin around it.
280
So this whole dark side of the moon thing is just complete and utter nonsense made up by ignorant Earthlings.
281
Then why do they call me that?
282
What am I?
283
Ugh.
284
You're the side of me that never gets to watch the Earth.
285
You're always looking away, gazing into the darkness of space.
286
Aha!
287
So in a way, I am the dark side of the moon.
288
You know what?
289
Sure.
290
Ouch!
291
Gah!
292
What's up with your Earthling's obsession with making me their second home?
293
Uh, can we not talk about it?
294
Dude, you never want to talk about this.
295
Alright man, you really want to know?
296
My Earthlings want to colonize you.
297
What's that supposed to mean?
298
Some of them think Mars could be their future.
299
We're kind of similar.
300
Gravity, water in some form,
301
an atmosphere, even if they can't breathe your air.
302
Huh.
303
I guess I get that.
304
They can be a bit annoying,
305
but if I really am the best option they have...
306
Pfft, if you were their best option,
307
Astro Dude over here wouldn't need a closed off environment to be on your surface.
308
Your temperature is deadly, your air is poison,
309
and you're not hospitable to plants or animals.
310
They've been talking about terraforming you, but...
311
Yeah, that's not gonna happen anytime soon.
312
I don't get it.
313
Why don't they stay on you then?
314
Guess dreaming about you is easier than dealing with what they're doing to me.
315
Uhhh...
316
Jeez, man.
317
I'm sorry.
318
I just got deep.
319
Um...
320
You wanna keep playing cards?
321
I don't know, you guys.
322
I mean, he's always been like this.
323
Why should that change?
324
But you said it yourself!
325
Jupiter is super huge, made of basically the same stuff as the Sun,
326
and has strong gravity.
327
He could become a star!
328
Yeah, but he's always been like this.
329
Why should that change?
330
He's bigger than some actual stars in this galaxy!
331
And the Sun came out of gravity and densed us too!
332
So, what do you say we do then, huh?
333
If he.. starts transforming.
334
Then we gotta deal with him.
335
Venus!
336
He's a planet!
337
Look, I'm not saying it's gonna be easy,
338
but we gotta do what we gotta do!
339
Guys?
340
Um, maybe quiet town?
341
Well, I've never destroyed a planet before!
342
Didn't know you were an expert!
343
Look, I know you're afraid, but...
344
Seems like you don't know,
345
cause then you'd understand that we have to...
346
You have to what?
347
Oh, Jupiter!
348
We were just, um, uh...
349
Um, uh...
350
Yeah, I got the gist.
351
Listen, guys, I literally can't become a second sun.
352
Yeah, I'm made of the same stuff,
353
but that's because we all are.
354
We're all made of leftovers from when the sun came about.
355
Yeah, but...
356
No buts!
357
I may be more like the sun than you,
358
but it was born from special circumstances,
359
when a molecular cloud collapsed in on itself.
360
That can't happen to us anymore.
361
Unless you see any of those around here.
362
I'm sorry, man.
363
We were just worried that you'd one day destroy all of us.
364
I guess we can go back to just worrying about the sun, eh?
365
Hey Uranus!
366
Do you- Hey Uranus, do you know where Neptune is?
367
Why?
368
Ever since he came back his blue has been RADIANT.
369
I simply have to know his atmosphere count routine.
370
That's a compelling motivation.
371
Well Neptune was here a while ago,
372
but then he just awkwardly left.
373
He also seemed off, like weird, you know?
374
I think he lost his mind.
375
Hmm.. any idea where he might have gone?
376
Somewhere between me and Pluto.
377
Who's.. also missing?
378
Hmm.. what do you say we look for them together?
379
A little adventure, just you and me!
380
Um, my orbit takes like 84 years to spin around the sun,
381
so I'll just slow you down.
382
You go, mate!
383
Mine takes 29 years, but.. bah!
384
We are sentient planets!
385
We can do whatever we want,
386
like, for example, leave our orbit- SHUT YOUR KEY HOLD MATE!
387
The sun may hear ya!
388
I doubt he'll notice.
389
Besides, what's the worst he can do?
390
Fire a solar flare at us?
391
You know I'm an ice giant, right?
392
Come on, it'll be fun!
393
We never spend any time together.
394
You...wanna spend time with me?
395
Of course!
396
Oh!
397
Um...uh...cool!
398
Yeah, let's adventure, uh, away!
399
Heh, and stuff.
400
DON'T LEAVE YOUR ORBIT!
401
What?
402
Okay, run run run run run run!
403
No no no no no no!
404
What's right?
405
Nothing!
406
Mind your business, Neptune!
407
Hey!
408
I'm sorry, wh- Oh!
409
Oh!
410
Ew!
411
Hey!
412
Oh!
413
Is that how you smell?
414
Keep your voice down!
415
Yeah, you're probably the smelliest planet in the Milky Way.
416
This has to be a record- Neptune!
417
Shut up!
418
Please!
419
Hey, don't be ashamed.
420
Being the best at something is kinda cool.
421
I don't wanna be the best at smelling bad!
422
Why not?
423
Because my name is Uranus!
424
At least that's how everyone says it, so...
425
I mean, you can see how they'd make fun of me.
426
Well, there's nothing funny about Uranus.
427
Neptune, just forget about all this, okay?
428
I do forget most things, so I probably will.
429
But at least tell me why you stink, please?
430
Okay, well...
431
My atmosphere is made of hydrogen sulfide.
432
Gotcha, gotcha.
433
What's that?
434
It's one of the smelliest chemicals.
435
Like, in the universe!
436
Ohhhhhhh!
437
Eh, good thing no one besides me is around to smell you then, huh?
438
Yes!
439
Yes!
440
Not a word!
441
Okay?
442
Okie dokie, neighborino.
443
I won't tell anyone.
444
Tell us what?
445
That your anus stinks!
446
Hey, you're right!
447
It is kinda funny.
448
Hey Uranus!
449
I'm back!
450
Neptune?
451
Oh wow, you're back!
452
I almost thought you got flung out of the solar system!
453
Oh, you know how it is, cousin.
454
What?
455
I don't know how it...
456
Wait, did you just call me cousin?
457
Yeah!
458
We are cousins!
459
The only ice giants in the solar system!
460
What?
461
That doesn't mean we're cousins, we're nothing alike!
462
Come on, look at us!
463
We're almost the same size and made of the same stuff!
464
We're even pretty much the same temperature.
465
Well, but we don't look the same.
466
You're blue and I'm.. lighter blue.
467
You're not lighter, just less saturated.
468
Because I have way less ice and stuff floating around to dull me down.
469
My atmosphere is always super active.
470
Just like my mind.
471
Okay, you have some good points.
472
But then...
473
Why are you so...
474
Why am I so...
475
You know what, forget about it.
476
I guess, when we're alone,
477
you can call me cousin.
478
Or whatever.
479
But anyways, I'm...
480
I'm glad you're back, Neptune.
481
Oh!

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.
