Going back to work could cause further injury to the anterior talofibular ligament in your foot.

I suggest closing the cafe for five to seven days to allow your ankle to heal properly.

Your concern over the cafe is causing you stress, which can greatly hinder the healing process.

To help you relax, I will manage the cafe.

Oh No Yeah My objective of running the cafe to aid in your healing seems to have caused you further injury
92
Oh, Baymax, this isn't your fault.
93
I did this to myself.
94
I should have just closed the cafe like you said.
95
It's just, I made a promise to take care of this family, and there is no promise without those customers.
96

109

110

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.
