1
Where is my dad?
2
When is he coming back?
3
Oh no!
4
My phone just died!
5
Anna is waiting at school.
6
School is finally over!
7
Daddy is taking me to see the robot movie today.
8
I can't wait!
9
Anna, look at my new dolls!
10
Do you want to play with me?
11
We can make a lovely dollhouse together.
12
You promised we would go see the play!
13
I would never break a promise to you.
14
I can't.
15
I have plans with my dad.
16
Oh, okay.
17
Goodbye, everyone.
18
Daddy will be here soon.
19
He promised we'd go to the movies together today.
20
Daddy will be here soon.
21
We're going to watch giant robots, eat popcorn, and have the best movie night ever.
22
Perfect timing.
23
I've got our movie tickets.
24
Anna is going to be so excited when she sees me.
25
What a beautiful afternoon.
26
Anna loves robots.
27
I can't wait to see her smile when I show her these tickets.
28
Wait, what's happening?
29
Why is everyone stopping?
30
Oh dear, this traffic is worse than I expected.
31
Oh no, every road is busy.
32
I promised Anna I'd be there at 5.
33
I need another plan.
34
It's already 5 .15.
35
Daddy is usually on time.
36
Maybe he's stuck in traffic.
37
I'll watch for his car.
38
This traffic isn't moving at all.
39
Anna must be wondering where I am.
40
I really need to call Ella.
41
What?
42
My battery is almost empty.
43
Come on, phone!
44
I just need one quick call to Ella.
45
Oh no!
46
The phone turned off.
47
Please, just one more call.
48
How am I supposed to reach Ella now?
49
Where's my charger?
50
Not in my bag either.
51
Oh, I left it on my desk at work.
52
I promised Anna a wonderful movie night.
53
She's been so excited.
54
I really hope I can still make it. Where is my dad?
55
When is he coming back?
56
Daddy!
57
Over here!
58
Wait, that's not his car.
59
Oh, I...
60
Hello, Anna.
61
Are you waiting for someone?
62
Yes, sir.
63
I'm waiting for my dad.
64
He's running late.
65
Anna, has your father arrived yet?
66
Not yet.
67
He promised to come at five.
68
But he's late.
69
Do you think my parents forgot me?
70
I'm sure they're trying to come.
71
Let's call them together.
72
Finally, the traffic is moving!
73
Hang on, Anna.
74
Daddy is coming.
75
I hope I can reach school soon.
76
Please, make yourself comfortable.
77
Thank you.
78
It is 0123456.
79
Daddy isn't answering.
80
I wonder what's keeping him.
81
Don't worry, Anna.
82
Let's try contacting your mother.
83
Mom, I really enjoyed the art class today.
84
I'm glad, Alex.
85
Let's get home and show Daddy.
86
Neither Mom nor Daddy answered.
87
What should we do?
88
We'll keep trying.
89
You're safe here with me.
90
Remember our address, Anna.
91
Always wear your seatbelt and ask a trusted adult for help when needed.
92
I will, Mom!
93
Look!
94
A yellow taxi!
95
Mom taught me about taxis and road safety.
96
I remember what she said.
97
I remember my address.
98
Could I take a taxi home?
99
Let's confirm with your family first, Anna.
100
Could you message
101
Mom and Daddy?
102
Please tell them I'm safe at school.
103
Of course, Anna.
104
I'll send it.
105
You really want to get home soon.
106
I understand.
107
I'll check the taxi service and your family details.
108
Hello, Anna.
109
Welcome aboard.
110
Thank you for helping me, sir.
111
Hello, Anna.
112
Did the school guard arrange your ride?
113
Yes, sir.
114
He helped me contact my family.
115
Daddy couldn't pick me up, and I couldn't reach my parents.
116
Next time, wait with the school guard.
117
My home is at 123
118
Grace Street, District 1.
119
Grace Street, District 1.
120
Perfect, I've found the route.
121
The city looks beautiful at night.
122
I recognize these streets.
123
I hope Mom and Daddy are home soon.
124
Look, that's our favorite park.
125
Mom takes us there on weekends.
126
My house is nearby.
127
Wonderful, Anna.
128
There's traffic again.
129
I hope my family knows I'm coming.
130
We'll follow the rules and travel safely.
131
Excuse me, sir.
132
Why does that little meter keep changing?
133
It calculates the fare during our journey.
134
The fare depends on distance and travel time.
135
I understand.
136
I saved $10 in my wallet.
137
That's our favorite bakery!
138
Mom buys bread there every weekend.
139
Our street is just around the left corner.
140
There it is!
141
That's my house!
142
We finally made it!
143
Wonderful, Anna.
144
We've arrived safely at your destination.
145
Here's $10, sir.
146
Your change is $5.
147
Here's your receipt.
148
Thank you.
149
Thank you for the ride.
150
I'm glad to be home.
151
I hope Mom and Daddy will be here soon.
152
Anna?
153
Daddy's here.
154
Where are you, sweetheart?
155
I know I'm late.
156
Please let me find the school guard.
157
The bench is empty.
158
Anna was supposed to wait here.
159
Maybe the security guard knows where she went.
160
Excuse me, I'm Anna's father.
161
Have you seen her?
162
Yes, Mr. Max.
163
Please come inside.
164
Anna left in a registered yellow taxi.
165
I recorded the driver's details.
166
She took a taxi?
167
I need to reach her.
168
Anna, I hope you're home safely.
169
I'm coming now.
170
I should have planned everything more carefully today.
171
Mom, look!
172
The living room lights are on.
173
Is Daddy already home?
174
That's strange.
175
Let's go inside and see.
176
Mom!
177
Alex!
178
You're finally home!
179
Anna?
180
You're here already?
181
Wow, Anna!
182
How did you get home?
183
Anna, I'm so glad you're home.
184
How did you get here?
185
Mom, I have something important to tell you.
186
The guard helped me find a taxi, and I paid myself.
187
You're amazing.
188
You're amazing.
189
You went alone?
190
Anna!
191
Oh, thank goodness you're home.
192
Daddy!
193
You're finally here.
194
She's safe, Max.
195
Anna, I'm so sorry I missed it.
196
I promise I will be there next time.
197
Anna, next time, stay with the school guard until we arrive.
198
And I'll always check my phone.
199
Next time, I'll wait somewhere safe with a trusted adult.
200
We love you, Anna.
201
Always!
202
I cannot find my school uniform anywhere!
203
What if nobody wants to play with me?
204
I don't want to go to school today.
205
Anna, sweetheart, what's wrong?
206
Wake up, Anna.
207
It's time for school.
208
No, I don't want to go to school.
209
Everything is ready for the first day of school.
210
I'll wake both kids up in five minutes.
211
Good luck, Max.
212
You know how much
213
Anna loves sleeping.
214
Challenge accepted.
215
Look, kids!
216
Your school uniforms are ready!
217
Wow!
218
You'll both look wonderful today!
219
I am ready for my first day of school!
220
I look sharp!
221
I cannot find my school uniform anywhere!
222
Mom!
223
It's missing!
224
Oh, Anna, where did you put it?
225
I don't know, Mom!
226
I've looked everywhere!
227
Don't worry, let's look together!
228
I'll find it!
229
Really, Alex?
230
Aha!
231
I found it!
232
Well done, Alex.
233
Here is your new uniform.
234
I do not want to wear this.
235
Good morning, Alex.
236
Ready for school?
237
Hooray!
238
School is back!
239
I can't wait to see my friends.
240
That's my boy.
241
Come on, Anna.
242
It's a beautiful morning.
243
I can't hear you, Daddy.
244
Oh, is that a talking blanket?
245
Just five more minutes, Daddy.
246
Please.
247
Alright, five more minutes.
248
No alarm, no school.
249
Cock -a -doodle -doo!
250
Time to wake up.
251
Daddy, you're so silly. That was funny, Dad.
252
I'm not leaving my bed.
253
Then I'll see all our friends at school before you.
254
Hey, that's not fair.
255
What is going on in here?
256
Be nice to your sister.
257
Apologize to her.
258
Sarah, I sent you a letter this summer.
259
What if Sarah doesn't want to be my friend anymore?
260
I really hope she still remembers me.
261
Come on, Anna!
262
Let's brush our teeth!
263
It's too early.
264
I still want to sleep.
265
But it's our first day back at school!
266
See, Alex?
267
Just a little toothpaste is enough.
268
Oh, like this?
269
Yes, that's perfect.
270
I can do it.
271
Brush gently in little circles, Alex.
272
Like this, Anna?
273
Yes, but slow down a little.
274
Roar!
275
I'm the toothpaste monster.
276
Oh, no. A silly little monster.
277
The funniest monster ever.
278
Great job, Alex.
279
Remember to brush every morning.
280
I will, Anna.
281
Every morning and night.
282
That's my brother.
283
Look at me!
284
I'm a movie star!
285
A movie star?
286
Really, Alex? Of course!
287
Look at my amazing hair!
288
Alex!
289
Your hair is sticking up!
290
It's my superstar hairstyle!
291
Here, let me fix it for you.
292
Perfect!
293
Thank you!
294
I can't wait to show my cool hairstyle to all my friends at school!
295
Your friends?
296
Yes!
297
Everyone is going to love...
298
Anna, are you excited to see Sarah?
299
I don't know.
300
Really?
301
I thought you missed her.
302
I do.
303
I just feel a little nervous.
304
There!
305
My hair looks lovely!
306
Now I'm ready to look my best!
307
What if nobody wants to play with me?
308
Maybe everything will be okay.
309
Here, Alex, let me fix your buttons.
310
Thanks, Anna.
311
There!
312
Now you look perfect!
313
Thank you, Anna.
314
You're the best sister.
315
You look so grown up in that tie.
316
It is just a little crooked.
317
I thought I did it right.
318
Come here and let me fix it.
319
Don't worry, Alex.
320
Your dad is a necktie expert.
321
Really, Dad?
322
Can you make it look cool? Of course.
323
Just watch the master.
324
This should be interesting.
325
You're going to be late.
326
I can't do this.
327
Let me help you with that.
328
Now you both look ready.
329
There we go.
330
A neat little knot.
331
Wow, thanks, Mom.
332
My beautiful masterpiece.
333
Don't worry, Dad.
334
We still love your funny tie.
335
Okay, everyone.
336
It's almost time to go to school.
337
I'm ready, let's go!
338
Car keys?
339
Check.
340
Backpacks?
341
Check.
342
Already?
343
I don't want to go to school today.
344
Anna, sweetheart, what's wrong?
345
It's okay, Anna.
346
Tell us what's on your mind.
347
Your breakfast is served, ladies and gentlemen!
348
Bravo, Chef Max!
349
Five stars!
350
Thank you, Chef.
351
Everything looks delicious.
352
Enjoy your meal.
353
Thank you, Dad.
354
Welcome to Chef Max's Restaurant!
355
Today's special is delicious eggs and crispy toast!
356
Wow, Dad, that looks amazing!
357
What a wonderful breakfast!
358
Dad, you're the best chef.
359
Thank you, my little customer.
360
I can't wait to see all my friends today.
361
That's wonderful, Alex.
362
Your friends feel...
363
Anna, sweetheart, you haven't eaten much.
364
I'm just thinking, Mom.
365
Anna, sweetie, why haven't you started eating?
366
My tummy feels dynamic and unusual. And unusual.
367
Anna, how are you feeling, sweetheart?
368
I don't know how to explain it.
369
That's okay.
370
Take your time.
371
I'm listening.
372
Mom, I'm scared to go back to school.
373
Oh, Anna, thank you for telling us.
374
We're here to listen, sweetheart.
375
What's wrong, Anna?
376
Mom, we've been away from school for three whole months.
377
What if my friends have forgotten me?
378
I sent Sarah a letter this summer, but she never wrote back.
379
That must have made you wonder.
380
Maybe she doesn't want to be my friend.
381
There could be many reasons, Anna.
382
Let's not worry just yet.
383
What if Sarah has a new best friend?
384
I miss her so much.
385
Oh, Anna, come here, sweetheart.
386
We're here for you, Anna.
387
I love you, Anna.
388
Sweetheart, Sarah not replying doesn't mean friendship is over.
389
Really, Mom? Of course.
390
Maybe she's away or your letter hasn't reached her.
391
Everyone feels nervous sometimes.
392
Even you, Mom? Of course.
393
Even grown -ups.
394
Just smile and say hello to start a friendship.
395
I can try that.
396
You know, Anna, I was nervous on my first day of school, too.
397
Really, Daddy?
398
Yes.
399
You know what?
400
I think I can do it.
401
That's my brave girl.
402
You can do anything, Anna.
403
Hooray!
404
Let's go to school together!
405
Yes!
406
I can do it!
407
Don't worry, Anna.
408
I'll be right there with you.
409
Really, Alex? Of course!
410
We're a team!
411
Thank you, Alex.
412
You're the best little brother.
413
Backpacks?
414
Check!
415
We're ready!
416
All aboard!
417
Constant School Express!
418
Hooray!
419
Okay, I can do this.
420
Look, Dad!
421
We're getting closer to school!
422
That's right, buddy!
423
Almost there!
424
I can't wait to play with all my...
425
You're gonna have a wonderful day.
426
I hope so.
427
I remember this day with Sarah.
428
We had so much fun together.
429
Don't worry, Anna.
430
Today is going to be a great day.
431
Thanks, Alex.
432
There's our school!
433
There it is.
434
Here we are, safe and sound.
435
We're here.
436
I can't wait.
437
Mom, I'm still nervous.
438
That's okay, sweetheart.
439
I'm right here.
440
Anna, being brave doesn't mean you never feel nervous.
441
It doesn't?
442
It means trying, even when you're a little afraid.
443
Okay, Mom.
444
I'll try my best.
445
You've got this, Anna!
446
Anna!
447
Over here!
448
Huh?
449
Anna, look!
450
It's Sarah!
451
Anna!
452
I'm so happy to see you!
453
Anna!
454
Over here!
455
Anna, I've been looking for you!
456
Sarah, is that really you?
457
Anna, your best friend is here!
458
Why didn't you answer?
459
Oh, Anna!
460
I was visiting grandparents all summer.
461
Really?
462
I made this card. For me?
463
Thanks!
464
Anna, I'm so happy!
465
Let's go inside!
466
Mom!
467
Dad!
468
Thank you for helping me feel brave!
469
Have a wonderful first day, Anna!
470
Welcome to Anna's pretend beauty salon.
471
Wait, I need a model.
472
Hey, stop!
473
Put that down!
474
What did you do to my makeup?
475
You've ruined the whole palette!
476
It was an accident!
477
Get back here right now!
478
I'm really sorry!
479
Mommy, can I try some of that lipstick too?
480
Of course you can, my little princess.
481
Do you want to try some too?
482
Yes!
483
Make me pretty!
484
You look perfect now.
485
See you soon, Anna!
486
Bye, Mom!
487
My beauty salon is opening today!
488
Perfect!
489
Everything is ready!
490
Welcome to Anna's Pretend Beauty Salon!
491
Wait, I need a model!
492
Alex, come see my salon!
493
Your what?
494
I don't know about this, Anna.
495
It's only pretend toy makeup, I promise.
496
Okay, but only the toys.
497
There!
498
My first customer is ready!
499
Just remember, only the toys.
500
Welcome to my pretend beauty salon!
501
Alex is my very first customer.
502
Why did I agree to this?
503
Hold still, Alex.
504
Is it done yet?
505
I just started. Can I look now?
506
Not yet.
507
It's a surprise.
508
What happened to me?
509
Alex!
510
I'm not finished yet.
511
Ta -da!
512
Your new look.
513
I look amazing.
514
Can you make it even funnier?
515
I can make it super special.
516
There has to be something fun in here.
517
Look at my model pose.
518
Hey, stop!
519
Put that down.
520
I don't think you should play with that.
521
I'm just seeing how it works.
522
Wait, don't do that!
523
You're making a mess.
524
Anna, isn't that Mom's lipstick?
525
I think it might be.
526
Mom said her real makeup isn't for playing.
527
Then we should put it back.
528
That's it?
529
I thought this was a fancy salon.
530
My salon can make an amazing look.
531
Hold still!
532
This is going to look great.
533
Oh, wow!
534
You look so funny!
535
You look so funny!
536
No, get it off.
537
I'm gonna get you.
538
No, stop it.
539
Look what you did.
540
You look beautiful.
541
You need to stay away.
542
Just one more little spot.
543
Back off or I will blast you.
544
Anna!
545
My face.
546
It's very colorful.
547
What did you do to my makeup?
548
You've ruined the whole palette.
549
It was an accident.
550
Get back here right now.
551
I'm really sorry.
552
It's spreading.
553
I'd better stop.
554
My whole cheek is turning red.
555
You put this red makeup on my cheek.
556
Look at this mess.
557
I was just trying to make you look like a superhero.
558
Well, I do not like it at all.
559
Oh, no!
560
Your shirt!
561
What happened now?
562
My shirt, too?
563
I'm sorry.
564
Don't move.
565
Oh, you think this is funny?
566
What are you doing?
567
Now you get a makeover, too.
568
Alex!
569
Then you get one, too.
570
Hey!
571
You can't catch me.
572
My turn to be the stylist.
573
Oops!
574
Wait, stop!
575
I didn't mean to do it.
576
It was an accident.
577
You are in big trouble.
578
Anna, look at this mess.
579
Mom is going to know.
580
Oh, Chuck.
581
Was that the front door?
582
Mom's back.
583
Quick, let's clean everything up.
584
I'm trying.
585
Almost everything is back in the box.
586
Hurry, I can hear Mom downstairs.
587
Hold still.
588
I told you not to mess with it.
589
I just wanted to look like a superhero.
590
Fine, but ask me next time, okay?
591
It's not coming off.
592
Maybe we should just tell
593
Mom what happened.
594
Anna?
595
Alex?
596
I'm home!
597
I'll put this last one away.
598
Great teamwork!
599
We're all done!
600
Act normal.
601
I am acting normal.
602
We were just playing pretend beauty salon, Mom.
603
Just with your toy makeup?
604
So who decided to use my favorite lipstick?
605
Care to explain?
606
Why is my real lipstick in your pretend salon?
607
Anna.
608
I'm listening.
609
Um...
610
Well...
611
I picked it up by...
612
No, that's not what really happened.
613
Okay, tell me what happened.
614
I thought it was your lipstick, but I used it anyway because I thought a little would be okay.
615
I'm sorry, Mom.
616
Thank you for telling me the truth.
617
We didn't do it on purpose.
618
It was already like that.
619
Alright, I believe you both.
620
Remember to always share your toys with each other.
621
It makes playing together dynamic and more fun.
622
Are we all ready to try that today?
623
I'm sorry for using your lipstick, Mom.
624
And Alex, I'm sorry I broke my promise about only using the toys.
625
It's okay.
626
We both made the game too messy.
627
I'm sorry too.
628
I should have stopped instead of making the game messier.
629
It's okay.
630
We both got carried away.
631
Thank you for taking responsibility, Alex.
632
Let's clean everything together.
633
I'll clean the table.
634
I'll pick up the toys.
635
My makeup stays in my bag, and your pretend makeup stays in your play box.
636
So we always know which ones we can use.
637
Toy makeup only.
638
Only the pretend toys this time.
639
Welcome back to Anna's pretend beauty salon.
640
Remember, these cheeks are protected.
641
Have fun, you two.

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.
