3
In a way of what?
4
I can't see what I'm painting!
5
Oh, I'm sorry!
6
Are you an artist?
7
Uh-huh!
8
My backpack always gets to the point where I can't even find my stuff,
9
especially my iPad pencil because when I'm out and I get done with my work,
10
I just trust everything unorganized in my bag,
11
and then it stays that way for a long while.
12
There's definitely a receipt from some cafe,
13
my old crumpled assignments that need a lot more of kindness,
14
or just my empty water bottle.
15
Even though I have a lot of organizers and this bag has a lot of compartments,
16
it's just my lazy nature that makes me go through this.
17
So today I'll set up my own bag
18
and help you guys organize yours too
19
because i'm pretty sure we're all going through this before we
20
get into the video i'm not trying to promote over consumption
21
at all all the school supplies in this video are the ones
22
that i genuinely like a lot
23
and i've been collecting them for quite some time now
24
so it doesn't mean you have to buy everything you see
25
in the video online just take inspiration from the videos have a good look at what you actually need
26
and then only decide what you want to spend your money on there are many places
27
that you can buy your stuff from for reasonable prices,
28
my favorite one being Chic Choy.
29
They have a huge collection of great school supplies and many everyday products too.
30
I absolutely love shopping there.
31
So here's a recent haul of items I got from Chic Choy.
32
Let's go.
33
I'm going to go to the next video.
34
I'll be
35
back in a few minutes.
36
I'm
37
going to
38
go to the next video.
39
What the dog doing?
40
This is the backpack that I own.
41
And just like most of the other items that I own,
42
this is from the brown Rosie Posie.
43
It's a decent back with a lot of compartments,
44
and you can fit quite a lot of things in here.
45
Well, the color is a bit light for everyday use,
46
but I just had to get it because it's pink.
47
I like campus notebooks.
48
I've been using them for quite a while now,
49
and I love the quality of paper and the design of the cover a lot,
50
but I've found a way better option for note-taking.
51
And it's these loose-leaf binder notebooks.
52
Firstly, they come in a variety of very pretty and cool designs,
53
and obviously the best part about these notebooks is that you can take out the pages whenever you want.
54
Like, I mess up a lot and I'm a perfectionist if my notes don't look good,
55
I will most definitely rip it off and ruin my whole notebook.
56
So these notebooks help with that so much.
57
Next up we have pundlers.
58
This is the one that I use for my everyday to-do list.
59
And the smoozy one is the monthly pundler that I like a lot.
60
It really helps me a lot in keeping track of my tasks in those super busy months.
61
And this mini diary that I mostly use for a deco,
62
but I also like to just add my tasks in here.
63
I wouldn't really go that deep into the pencil case stuff,
64
but I just own a lot of pencil cases,
65
and they're all very nice to carry around.
66
Like, this one has a lot of space.
67
But in my opinion, the best pencil case you could ever get is this one right here.
68
It's huge and holds so much of your stuff
69
and you can just turn it into a pen holder
70
and just keep it on your desk in your classroom well obviously i have this super boring calculator
71
that is a lot more practical for my subjects
72
but this is the one that i carry around with me all the time only because it's super cute.
73
The most important thing in my backpack is obviously my iPad.
74
Most of my work is done digitally,
75
so I have to have my iPad with me all the time.
76
And we need a secure, protected iPad case.
77
I love all of my cute iPad cases,
78
but this one that literally turns your iPad into a laptop,
79
it's just the best thing that I ever come my hands on.
80
okay i think many of the audience here is also little
81
girls who are not really allowed to bring any sort of makeup in school
82
that i totally understand so i'll keep it very practical in here
83
and only adding the things that i think you guys can keep in your backpack
84
so here i'm just adding lip balms
85
because I don't think your teacher would mind if you put on a little bit of lip balm to your chopped lips.
86
A little mirror so you can check upon yourself.
87
Then some solid perfume that you can just put on your wrist.
88
This lip liner that basically has little to no shade.
89
And the most important thing,
90
a mini portable hand fan.
91
This thing is something that you definitely,
92
definitely need in your backpack, especially in summer.
93
Like, you do not want to melt in the summer heat,
94
so keep a little fan with yourself all the time.
95
And I think it was a very minimal emergency kit you can keep in your bag.
96
Always up and down No more Thing that's no thing that's spinning round and round Changing my mind
97
There's a world that's not
98
that bad This sound of a song No more How it's supposed to be That's why it's clean
99
It's simple It's like writing a letter Say bye bye,
100
you know better Don't go there,
101
don't go there Don't go to my house in my store,
102
we like to knock on my face
103
I'm
104
going to
105
go to the next video.
106
I'm
107
sorry you

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
