1
The hare and the tortoise.
2
Harry Hare loved running more than anything in the world.
3
Every morning he woke up and went for a run.
4
Then he ran to work.
5
Ran around all day.
6
Harry, you are early. And ran home.
7
Everyone said he was the fastest hair around.
8
Maybe the fastest hair in history.
9
Harry, you are amazing!
10
Harry was sure of it.
11
Well, you know, I do a lot of training.
12
Tom's daughters worked with Harry.
13
All day long, he heard Harry boasting.
14
He didn't think Harry was so special.
15
I beat my own record again!
16
Harry was always laughing at him.
17
Take your time, Tommy.
18
I'll just run on the spot until you are ready.
19
One morning, Harry was feeling very pleased with himself.
20
He ran to work in record time.
21
I really need some extra heavy shoes to slow me down.
22
I must be the fastest creature in the world, he boasted.
23
Let's have a race to prove it.
24
Come on, who wants to race?
25
Harry couldn't believe it when Tom Todders plotted over.
26
I will raise you, Harry, he said quietly.
27
Tommy's low coach?
28
Are you serious?
29
Asked Harry.
30
You wouldn't even get started.
31
That's a good one.
32
I mean it, said Tom.
33
Let's have the race next Saturday at 10 o'clock.
34
You choose where to race.
35
Well, we'll all have a good laugh anyway.
36
For the next few days,
37
the animals talked about nothing else. Has Tommy gone crazy?
38
The story was in all newspapers.
39
It was even on television.
40
Harry trained extra hard.
41
He woke up early in the mornings and went running in the evenings.
42
He knew he would win,
43
but he wanted to win by miles.
44
He chose a good long course for the race.
45
Tom Totters didn't seem to be training at all.
46
Perhaps he thought there was no point.
47
Don't you think you should exercise a little? At last, Saturday arrived.
48
All Harry's friends came to watch him race.
49
Tom's friends were there too.
50
But they didn't look quite so happy.
51
It was a beautiful day.
52
Harry saw some television cameras and did a little running special for them.
53
Tom just kept on talking to his friends.
54
Soon it was time for the race to begin.
55
Harry was already at the starting line.
56
Tom slowly ambled over.
57
Come on, Tommy!
58
Let's not start late!
59
On your marks, get set, go! shouted the umpire.
60
Harry raised off and disappeared almost at once.
61
Everyone laughed as poor Tom plodded over the line.
62
As soon as he was out of sight,
63
Harry stopped beside a tree to rest.
64
Just need to catch my breath.
65
After all his early morning training, Harry was very tired.
66
Nobody was looking.
67
He had plenty of time to sit down for a while.
68
He would still win this race easily.
69
His eyes started closing.
70
Why not have a nap?
71
That would make it even funnier when he won the race.
72
He sat down in the shade.
73
Soon he was asleep.
74
Meanwhile, Tom's tortoise was slowly making his way along the course.
75
Most of the animals had gone straight to the finish line.
76
Only Tom's friends stayed with him.
77
Nobody saw Harry sleeping under his tree.
78
Hours passed.
79
The sun was setting and the air was cool.
80
Harry woke up with a start.
81
Where was he?
82
Suddenly, he remembered the race.
83
He hadn't meant to slap for so long,
84
but he could still beat Tom.
85
Harry felt much better after his nap.
86
He did a few stretches, then raised off.
87
He could see the finish line now.
88
There was a huge crowd.
89
They were already cheering.
90
At that moment, he saw a small brown shell shape coming up to the line.
91
Harry felt cold all over.
92
Surely that wasn't Tom?
93
He rang faster than ever before.
94
Yes, he could do it!
95
Then the cheering grew louder and louder.
96
Look, it's Harry!
97
Whatever happened to him?
98
Harry died over the line.
99
But he was too late.
100
Well done, Tommy!
101
Tommy's the winner!
102
Tom Tottors had won, and he didn't even look out of breath.
103
About the story The hare and the Tottors as one of the Aesop fables.
104
These are a collection of short stories first told in the ancient Greece around 4,000 years ago.
105
Nobody knows exactly who Aesop was,
106
but the stories are still popular today,
107
and they are known all over the world.
108
The stories are often about animals,
109
and they always have a moral,
110
a message or lesson at the end.
111
The moral of the story about the hare and the tortoise is,
112
slow and steady wins the race.
113
Thank you.

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.
