1
Track 15.
2
The second half was fantastic.
3
City poured players forward.
4
Their twin strike force looked lethal.
5
Sam Roberts, England's leading scorer, and new sensation, Ghanaian international Anthony Owusu.
6
Danny struggled to keep up his commentary just as much as the United defenders struggled to keep up with City's strikers.
7
Owusu is playing deep, Danny told his dad.
8
Robert's further up.
9
And as he spoke, City's midfield dynamo launched a high cross into the United area.
10
The ball ricocheted off a defender to Owusu, who controlled it on his knee and volleyed it with amazing power.
11
At first, the ball seemed to be going way over, but then it began to dip into a powerful arc.
12
Half a second later, it was crashing in off the crossbar and bouncing about in the goal.
13
One nil.
14
An awesome strike.
15
Danny and his dad leapt into each other's arms as the crowd exploded.
16
First with the loudest cheer of the season, then with the name of the scorer, over and over again.
17
Oh, woosoo!
18
Oh, woosoo!
19
Oh, woosoo!
20
When the fans had gone quiet enough for anyone to talk, Dad spoke.
21
What happened?
22
This always amused Danny.
23
His Dad would be leaping around, punching the air, screaming at the top of his voice one minute,
24
then calmly asking to know why he's been jumping around in the first place.
25
Owusu!
26
Danny said breathlessly.
27
I gathered that.
28
He just blasted it in!
29
Yeah?
30
Danny knew his dad needed more, so he decided to give it to him, like a proper reporter on the radio.
31
He breathed in and began.
32
City's amazing Ghanaian international has scored the goal of the season.
33
Picking the ball up on the edge of the area, he took it on his knee, then fired an unstoppable volley past the paralysed United keeper.
34
That's Owusu's 20th goal of the season,
35
and just goes to show that he deserved the African Player of the Year award he received only two weeks ago.

Over deze les

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.
