40
that like southern accent yeah she's like super south yeah she
41
was like ranting about how her kids are in school
42
and she has to get school supplies for them
43
and she was like tell me why i have to buy 12 packs of this
44
and 500 that's so true though like i remember
45
when i was in middle school especially
46
when you're younger the parents have to spend
47
so much more money on school supplies i remember we had to buy like three packs of like 10 colored
48
and it was so specific yeah crayon packs
49
or like marker packs we need to buy two of them
50
we have to buy like specific remember the pencils half yeah
51
we have to buy like six pencil pack i remember this
52
one fifth grade english class she made us get like these binders
53
that like spread open like this and like yeah that literally was
54
so annoying because where do you find those you know what i mean i couldn't find it it's hard
55
or anything so to use my mom's like for some reason my mom had one
56
and i remember being
57
so stressed like on the first day of school like thinking i would miss
58
that they're asking for so specific yeah
59
and it's like not using it yeah you don't and then
60
when you get to high school you literally just use your laptop
61
and a notebook and a pencil yeah it's like all you need
62
and then at college it gets even less yeah
63
and then she was like and i have two kids
64
so yeah school school shopping is expensive i remember like i
65
was like really another crayon book are you sure obviously skinny one yeah just
66
that one and then obviously when you're like eight years old you want everything colored
67
and all like the brand new so it's like oh
68
and they were like a planner and this and this
69
and yeah and like obviously the folders and whatever you want oh
70
and then once you get to middle school you get a
71
locker oh yeah you want to decorate your locker oh yeah
72
i never decorated my locker though same i think i tried
73
and then i was like yeah i'm definitely not gonna it's
74
like 50 for a chandelier in your locker yeah like
75
that was such a trend i was always jealous of the girls that got to decorated walkers though.
76
Same.
77
Like one of my really close friends had like rugs yeah magnets mirrors chandeliers yeah lockers
78
and they had like the little like shelf yeah it was
79
like a pink shelf the only thing i had was magnets
80
and a shelf that's it i didn't decorate my locker at all either
81
but i i was never jealous i was never just like damn like
82
and everyone got it from like pottery barn maybe doing way too much yeah
83
but i guess that's like the fun of it i guess yeah i've been buying like amazon registries really
84
and baby registries no way yeah because i saw alex cooper do it
85
and then i saw like a bunch of people like in the comments like i need help
86
and i was like okay like alex can't get to all
87
of these people what type of items do you get for
88
teachers teachers were just asking for like i would buy like
89
necessities like books um pencils like laminator sheets stuff like that and then for baby registries they were asking for like breastfeeding,
90
like pumping stuff, diapers, more clothes, diaper changing stuff, strollers.
91
Getting babies are so expensive.
92
I know.
93
Yeah.
94
This is like training us to be what being a parent will be like.
95
Yeah.
96
I'll be like, oh.
97
Should we like pretend that the kids that we're buying for are our kids?
98
I'm like low -key dreading like having to school.
99
Oh yeah.
100
You need four crayon boxes are you freaking kidding me i
101
remember like getting new backpacks for school was like the best
102
feeling ever yeah we had the new smelling like my mom
103
our mom would get us like those pottery barn like i pattern loved
104
when teachers had a good handwriting on the white boards yeah it was
105
so satisfying i love writing there was this one teacher at
106
my middle school she smelled like vanilla she was an aide
107
or like those like extra teachers in the classrooms she always smelled like strong vanilla
108
and she had a bunch of bracelets yeah do you know who i'm talking
109
and she was kind of she was blonde she was blonde
110
and she had like literally yeah
111
and her whole wrist was filled with those like dangling bracelets
112
it was like literally like up to here yeah no way
113
so when she would help and she had like those like french type acrylics on
114
so when she would come over to help you i'm just like oh my god you're
115
so satisfying she was like super nice yeah oh my gosh
116
and i feel like she was like always chewing gum yeah
117
makes me want to be a teacher now oh my gosh
118
a girl in my high school is now a teacher wait
119
she's like a preschool teacher i think she's at the school
120
that i was at i saw her she was at the
121
pre -k is she blonde no she's brunette oh there's a girl
122
that used to go to her high school that's now working at pre -k what i think
123
so i know a girl that i knew of that was a pre -k teacher but she got fired
124
do you know why i don't know tea
125
so you guys could choose to be a teacher of any grade
126
which grade would you be senior senior of high school i
127
worked with my teacher i'm never working with school teachers really
128
are they like actually horrible my patience is not your patience
129
is definitely not high enough my patience i think i would want to be either a freshman
130
or just like no no no i want to do i
131
want to be a fourth grade teacher okay the fourth graders
132
were kind of cute yeah like fourth grade is not middle
133
school enough they're kind of like kid -y like i definitely
134
want to teach them yeah i want to be um the youngest grade no i want to do youngest
135
my friend was working with the kindergartners and they're so cute
136
but they drain the actual life out of you
137
because they need constant attention like constant attention oh that's so cute
138
and like you need to play pretend play with them the
139
entire time you need to like talk them the whole time
140
like you can't like i feel like it's like training a
141
dog you know like you always have to like like with
142
high schoolers like you honestly you obviously like need to be good at teaching well yeah i feel like
143
when you're teaching younger kids it's more like teaching them how to behave
144
and socialize whereas and obviously like articulating their little like brains
145
and yeah but then
146
when you're older like you are actually responsible for them to learn it's crazy
147
but also at one point if they're 18 years old
148
and they're not paying attention that's on them i feel like
149
a good teacher it's like really hard to come by a
150
good teacher yeah i just don't ever want to be a teacher i feel like being a good teacher is
151
so important for the development of a child
152
because that's their experience that's why i honestly feel bad for anyone
153
that went through covid that was like younger than i was
154
because i was still pretty young i was old enough
155
that i already went through all my fundamental stages
156
but i think imagine like the third graders
157
that went through coven do you think they're all like anti
158
-social now they're definitely all like ipad kids now oh yeah
159
i had to learn online my third grade teacher would always boil water with lemon
160
and orange slices and the classroom would smell super citrusy
161
and really aromatic
162
and i remember eggs cinnamon yeah oh yeah she would she
163
would also boil cinnamon i feel like cinnamon is such a school teacher yeah
164
and she would always bring the water brewed in cinnamon
165
and the orange and all the citruses in her like big mug
166
and she'd always like sip on it i love
167
when teachers had fun chairs and i'd
168
or would let you like work on the carpet like i loved working on carpets
169
and like sitting on fun chairs i loved
170
when the teachers would just decorate their place really well oh my god
171
or i loved when the teachers would wear heels
172
and you have to go from one classroom to the other
173
and then like hear their clacking noises on the floor did
174
you guys ever want to be the line leader yes i loved being the line leader
175
what was the other one i don't think i liked it
176
or i like the one where it's like you have you like keep an eye on everyone
177
and make sure they're all in line forgot
178
that was called i liked being in the middle i loved like walking the hallways
179
and touching the walls yeah oh yeah or
180
or skipping the color tiles on the floor
181
or like you know how like the walls are like kind of indented yeah
182

435

436

437
because both my sisters are lame
438
and they're back at their own apartments in the city
439
so they can't help me with this last portion of the video obviously now that we've purchased all the things for everyone.
440
We need to actually drop the backpacks off.
441
And originally, I was going to drop them off today after my golf lesson.
442
The drop -off place closed at 12.
443
I got out of my golf lesson at 11, and I was like, I'm not making it.
444
So I'm going tomorrow after my golf lessons.
445
Today, we're going to prep the backpack so that I can just drop them off right away.
446
And to prep them, we need to obviously label the backpacks for each child.
447
I have these pieces of paper.
448
I'm going to cut them up
449
and then i'm gonna duct tape them onto the backpacks i know like four backpacks like who those belong to
450
but the rest my sisters did so i kind of don't know
451
so i have to look through the backpacks
452
and kind of just like see which one goes to who time to leave
453
while i have a pink sharpie ariel is the first one bagel please stop licking me first four done
454
next four completed now all i have to do is go to the car and take them onto the backpack so
455
we're downstairs now i have some scissors
456
and now we're just going to cut these we have them
457
i have my tape let's go out to the car
458
and come on hi cherry oh i'm tired i like couldn't
459

466
i honestly hate rules of duct tape they piss me off so badly
467
because like what the they need to like they actually need to do something about these rolls of duct tape
468
and like figure out how to make it more
469
and like more efficient because this is so annoying i don't know
470
if this is what they mean by label
471
but i feel like i could have just written their names on this like tag thing
472
because this isn't really sticking okay i'm gonna just put the name tags on the price tag
473
because it sticks a lot better that way and that works
474

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.
