Shadowing Practice: THREE PREDICTIONS THAT WILL SHAKE THE WORLD - Learn English Speaking with Video
Les maken...
1
I brought to you three predictions, fun, but horrifying predictions.
2
Prediction number one is there will be a siege of New York City.
3
Let's imagine if Trump gets a third term.
4
Well, you would have a lot of pissed off people.
5
What will happen is these cities that are democratic, they will refuse to pay taxes to the federal government,
6
but they will also not welcome ICE federal agents into their cities, which creates conflict between local law enforcement and federal law enforcement.
7
This would over time lead to the siege of New York City, where federal forces, along with possibly militias from other states,
8
red states that favor Trump, they would try to besiege New York City by cutting off the food supply and water supply.
9
And this would be a conflict that could go on for years and years.
10
What's prediction number two?
11
If there is another 9-11 attack on the United States, I believe it will be an attack on the U.S financial infrastructure.
12
9-11 was an attempt to traumatize the American population into self-destructive violence.
13
What would happen if one day, all the money in your bank account has been wiped out, and they don't know when or how long it will take them to retrieve it?
14
What would you feel?
15
Concerned?
16
I would say you would feel more than concerned.
17
I would say you would feel a lot of anger and anxiety and frustration.
18
That must be hard to do.
19
Surely taking out the financial infrastructure for everybody for a long enough period of time where they start to feel real-world consequences.
20
Would you say 9-11 was hard to do?
21
Yeah.
22
I would say so as well.
23
All I'm saying is, if a 9-11 happens, it would not be against buildings.
24
It would probably against the financial infrastructure of the United States, because that's what makes Americans most vulnerable and therefore the most easily traumatized.
25
My third prediction, Lionel Messi, will become president of Argentina.
26
Oh wow, I wasn't expecting that.
27
Yeah, Argentina has recently demanded the return of the Falklands.
28
Why are they so concerned about the Falklands?
29
Not only that, Argentina and Israel have very strong relations.
30
Argentina is welcoming Israeli investment and immigration.
31
Right now, there's almost a civil war in Israel.
32
Mazzatic Jews believe this war in the Middle East will usher in the end times and the coming of Messiah, and secular Jews are like these people are insane.
33
And so the only way to resolve this conflict is by exporting secular Jews elsewhere.
34
How do you get the people of Argentina to accept massive immigration into Argentina from Israel?
35
The best way is to make Lionel Messi the president.
36
The god of Argentina becomes president, and Argentina reclaims the Falklands from the British.

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.
