Shadowing Practice: Cooper Family Lessons | Young Sheldon Compilation - Learn English Speaking with Video

Oh, I hear they're opening an olive garden where the old Sizzler used to be.

On Hampton Road?

Yeah.

I don't think that was a Sizzler.

That was a Chi -Chi's.

No, the Chi -Chi's is on Bedford, across from the Payless Shoes.

She's right, because one time we got shoes, and then we got Chi -Chi's.

That was a good day.

Huh, I guess that was a Sizzler.

I'm sorry they closed that.

Oh, there's still the other one on Route 40. Who cares?

You have a problem?

Yes, I do.

I've had a long day.

Is it too much to ask for a dinner with a little peace and quiet?

Sheldon, you do not talk to your father like that.

Fine.

I'd rather not speak to any of you.

Maybe I better go talk to him.

No, I got this.

George, maybe you should calm down first.

I got this.

you won't explain yourself i'd rather just go to bed since i have to be up in a few hours anyway

look i understand you're tired but that is no reason i'm not just tired i'm exhausted

everything hurts i get up in the morning to do this job i don't even like

and i'm doing it just for the money

and it's not even a lot of money i keep trying harder

and harder and it doesn't even make a difference so

if you're going to yell at me or punish me let's just get it over with I'm not going to punish you.

Why not?

I deserve it.

Let me tell you about my day.

I got yelled at by the principal for benching a linebacker who was flunking English.

Then I got yelled at even more by the kid's parents.

Then I had to break up a fight in the locker room and got elbowed in the neck.

That's a rough day.

That was all before 10 a .m.

So I get what you're going through.

But you'll notice I didn't come home and take it out on you.

No, you didn't.

I want you to get back in there, apologize to everyone, and finish your dinner.

Yes, sir.

My father's wisdom touched me deeply, which is why to this day, no matter what I'm going through,

I am never irritating or abusive to any of my friends or loved ones.

Ask them.

They'll tell you.

Dad, Sheldon got hurt.

How?

A chicken chased him into a mailbox.

Of course it did.

If I knew you could run, I would have let you teach him.

What happened?

Belinda got off her leash.

You okay?

My arm really hurts.

I want Mom.

You got me.

Let me take a look.

Don't touch it.

I'm not going to hurt you.

I'm sorry, but you are too big to be delicate.

I'm delicate.

I just want to see if you can bend it.

I can't.

It hurts too much.

I'm going to take you to the emergency room.

Come on.

You going to be okay?

Yeah. Have fun.

This is bad.

You're going to be just fine.

This is the arm I write with.

This is the arm I eat with.

This is the arm I do the Vulcan salute with.

Ow it's not too swollen that's a good sign you're not a doctor

but i see us on the football field all the time football players are meant to be hurt

i'm meant to be cherished hey looks like you fractured your ulna oh no two weeks in the cast

Did you get a discount doctor because we're poor?

Shelly, you okay?

I fractured my ulna.

He's fine, I told you didn't need to come down here.

My baby is in the emergency room.

Yeah, with his father.

Who let him get hurt.

Me, I wasn't even there.

If anything, it was Missy's fault.

And Belinda Sparks. Who?

Chicken.

What does a chicken have to do with this?

You know what?

I'm gonna let the nurse come in and put the cast on.

Don't worry, baby, you're gonna be just fine.

Thanks, Mom.

That's what I've been saying the whole time.

But she cherishes me.

100

Hello, Nibblingo, little nibbling.

101

What is it, Sheldon?

102

I was hoping I could try to calm your baby down.

103

Why?

104

I'm trying new things to build up a tolerance for setbacks and frustration.

105

So you want to use my child for some kind of experiment?

106

Yes.

107

Okay, here you go.

108

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur.

109

Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr.

110

Are you freaking kidding me?

111

I'm not happy about it either.

112

No, no, no, no, no, no. Soft kitty, kitty, kitty.

113

Sheldon, come back!

114

My daughter hates me.

115

What difference does it make if I'm there or not?

116

You know that ain't true.

117

Really?

118

Because all she does is cry, and I'm tired all the time, and even your brother is better at soothing her than I am.

119

You're just a little overwhelmed.

120

It's normal.

121

Why aren't you?

122

Well, we can't both be freaked out at the same time.

123

We gotta take turns.

124

When's your turn?

125

I already had it.

126

I was so scared when I got to the hospital, I got back in my car and drove away.

127

Well, I was in labor.

128

Don't hit me.

129

We're sharing freak outs.

130

And I still came back.

131

What kind of parents are we?

132

The new kind.

133

The well -meaning dumb kind.

134

We're going to get better, right?

135

We ain't got no choice.

136

I'll let you sleep I'm gonna go check on Cece Thank you

137

What are you smiling at?

138

Just thinking We might have conceived Cece in this very garage

139

Okay, you're gross, leave now

140

Bye Why don't you two have a seat? In here?

141

Did somebody die?

142

No, I just want to talk to you

143

They're getting divorced.

144

At least they waited until one of us was in college.

145

We are not getting a divorce.

146

Just sit.

147

So, you two are both growing up, and I thought that maybe it might be time to have a talk about

148

that and some of the things that go along with that.

149

What is happening?

150

I think she's trying to have the human reproduction talk.

151

Oh, God.

152

Speaking of God, he is very clear about the do's and the don'ts, especially the don'ts.

153

I'm not talking about this with you.

154

I don't think you'll have any new information for me, but I'm happy to chime in with biology facts.

155

I don't have any questions.

156

I'm good.

157

Can we be done now?

158

So you'll ask

159

Pastor Rob, but you won't ask me?

160

I didn't ask you because I know what you'll say.

161

You don't know what I'm going to say.

162

It's a sin.

163

You're too young.

164

Wait till marriage.

165

Well, it is.

166

You are, and you should.

167

You can't be too young if you're an aphid.

168

Some of them are born pregnant.

169

I didn't do anything wrong.

170

I just asked some questions.

171

Well, you can ask me.

172

I'm not asking you anything, ever.

173

It's just your hormones.

174

Would you like to learn more?

175

When children reach adolescence, a cascade of hormones are released. Do I have to?

176

You want to add grandkids to this mess?

177

God, don't.

178

Georgie, we need to talk.

179

What now?

180

You're of an age where your body has urges.

181

Oh, my God.

182

Georgie, you need to hear this.

183

From both of you?

184

Who do you want to hear from?

185

No one.

186

If I got to pick, I guess you.

187

Good choice.

188

Don't forget to tell them about venereal disease.

189

This next part is so great.

190

And I know your mom will want me to tell you to wait till marriage, but I also know you're probably not going to. Did you?

191

The important thing is that when you're with a girl,

192

you know how we were running practice drills and we wear protection so both people are safe.

193

Yeah.

194

Well, there you go.

195

What?

196

Same thing, but with your privates.

197

Please leave.

198

Thank you.

199

Let's leave.

200

Hey, you want to throw the ball around?

201

No, go away.

202

Did something happen at school?

203

I don't want to talk about it.

204

Okay.

205

Okay.

206

Well.

207

Change your mind.

208

You know I'm here for you.

209

He likes someone else.

210

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

211

She doesn't even know who Nolan Ryan is.

212

This guy sounds like an idiot.

213

He's not.

214

He's perfect.

215

All right.

216

Want me to get your mom?

217

No. Want me to beat this guy up?

218

No. What can I do?

219

Nice.

220

How do you make it curve?

221

Well, that's a little tricky.

222

You put two fingers on the seam, right?

223

And then you flick your wrist.

224

Okay.

225

Here, try it.

226

Oh.

227

There you go, right on the stitch there.

228

Two fingers on it.

229

And then at the end, you flick your wrist.

230

There you go.

231

Give her a shot.

232

Hey, how about that?

233

Right?

234

Just like a pro.

235

I'm telling you.

236

Well, we'll work on that, shall we?

237

Definitely.

238

Nice.

239

Hey, what you reading?

240

A magazine.

241

Oh, making a collage for school?

242

No, just reading it.

243

Look at that.

244

Maybe Sheldon isn't the only bookworm around here. Which magazine?

245

Cosmopolitan.

246

What?

247

It's a magazine for today's woman.

248

Hey, I was about to find out what turns a man on.

249

Where'd you get this?

250

Heather, I traded a fruit roll up for it.

251

Well, this is going in the garbage.

252

You sure?

253

It's got some great tips on how to spice up your marriage.

254

My marriage is fine, thank you.

255

And you are not to bring filth like this into our house again.

256

That's not fair.

257

Shana reads dirty stuff all the time and you don't say anything.

258

He does not.

259

Check out the comic book on his desk.

260

what oh my goodness oh oh my hold on no no

261

this blue man's backside is all over the place on page 112

262

you get to see his front side oh I'll be back where you going to give the owner of

263

that comic book store a piece of my mind cool and and then I'm calling Heather's mom.

264

Aww.

265

Everybody okay?

266

I'm not sure.

267

What's going on?

268

He was muttering in his sleep that I am his training wheels.

269

What on earth does that mean?

270

Well, let's think about it.

271

Training wheels are for little kids.

272

Maybe he doesn't want to be a little kid anymore.

273

What does that have to do with me?

274

You have made it your life's mission to hold him up.

275

What are you saying here?

276

That I am wrong to love and protect my son?

277

That he doesn't need his mother to keep an eye on him?

278

I'm not saying that.

279

I would never say that.

280

Alright then.

281

I'm not an idiot.

282

Did you have a tough time when your kids heard of being independent?

283

I'll let you know.

284

What does that mean?

285

It means one of them's still sitting in my kitchen whining about something.

286

Could you be supportive for once?

287

Yes.

288

Watching your kids grow up is hard.

289

So how do you handle it?

290

I find a little bourbon in my coffee does the trick.

291

And we're back to being not helpful.

292

Look, you haven't even gotten to the worst part of it yet.

293

They're going to leave home, they're going to move to another city.

294

Oh, Lord.

295

They're going to tell you their loser boyfriend has knocked him up?

296

Just to be clear, that would be you.

297

Sorry.

298

Turned my hair gray overnight.

299

I said sorry.

300

Clearly, you're not in the mood to help.

301

Listen, it's hard being a parent.

302

But if you do it right, they don't need you anymore.

303

Well, I don't like that.

304

I get it.

305

But I just don't like it.

306

Well, I'd point out you always have your husband, but you want me to be helpful.

307

Hey, I brought you a snack and some magazines.

308

Oh, thanks, but I should probably finish this, although I do know how it ends, with bodily fluids everywhere.

309

And then a sweet little boy or girl.

310

Oh, um, it's a girl.

311

Really?

312

Yeah, Georgie didn't want to know, so I haven't said.

313

Well, that is wonderful.

314

Oh, it'll be our little secret.

315

I already know.

316

Don't go feeling like you're special.

317

Do you mind?

318

We're having a moment here.

319

Carry on.

320

As you can see, the mother -daughter bond is strong.

321

Well, compared to me and my mom, you two are magic.

322

Well, we've had our ups and downs.

323

She wasn't the easiest mom to grow up with.

324

Sometimes I felt like I was kind of raising myself, but now we're practically best friends.

325

Yeah, I don't think that's in the cards for me and my mom.

326

I hear you whispering in there.

327

Don't listen to her, Mandy.

328

Dear Lord, I was just telling her how you and I are best friends.

329

That's how you talk to your best friend?

330

Excuse me, are you Mrs. McAllister?

331

I am.

332

Can I help you?

333

I'm Mary Cooper, Georgie's mom.

334

Oh.

335

Hello.

336

I don't know what's going on between you and your daughter, but you need to get over it.

337

She is scared, she is pregnant, and she needs her mother.

338

I'm getting parenting advice from a woman whose 17 -year -old son got my daughter pregnant.

339

Yes, you are.

340

Georgie made a mistake, but I did not cut him out of my life.

341

Well, you don't know.

342

I don't care.

343

You are her parent.

344

Act like it.

345

So grow up, call your daughter, and make it right.

346

Now!

347

Well, I need...

348

I said now!

349

I was gonna say I need the phone number

350

Okay Do you have a pen?

351

Hey Hey You know how you think I can't do anything for myself?

352

I do think that, yes

353

Well, I have something I'd like to show you

354

You did some chores?

355

Come see for yourself I don't know if I'm ready for another heart attack, but here we go.

356

Feast your eyes.

357

You did all that?

358

I did.

359

You shoved everything in the closet, didn't you?

360

Take a look.

361

Well, I am impressed.

362

You should be.

363

There may be hope for you yet.

364

I thought that showed ingenuity.

365

Why are you so late?

366

Sheldon?

367

I've put together a presentation detailing the reasons why I should be allowed to go to college,

368

and I'd like you to watch it with an open mind.

369

I can do that.

370

Excellent. Is Nemo here?

371

I smell cigarettes.

372

Thank you for this opportunity to plead my case, and I'd like to thank my cameraman and driver, Dad.

373

Well, I'm not even, like, assistant director?

374

No. Sit back, enjoy.

375

Hello, I'm Sheldon Cooper, and this is why Sheldon Cooper should go to college.

376

I realize attending college in another state or country is unrealistic at this time, which is why I'm proposing that I live at home,

377

but enroll full -time to continue my studies with Dr. Sturgis at East Texas Tech.

378

I firmly believe that I'm ready for this next step in my academic life, but don't just take it from me.

379

He's ready.

380

In the fall, now, just let him go.

381

Please.

382

I don't think I have anything left to teach, Sheldon.

383

I'm pretty sure he's already smarter than me.

384

It's true.

385

Honestly, teaching Sheldon is the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

386

And I don't say that because it can be a pain.

387

I say that because he's so intelligent, I had to study every night just to keep up.

388

I'm gonna miss him.

389

a student like sheldon comes along once in a lifetime

390

this school is not going to be the same without him

391

but i know he's going to do great things

392

and i'm honored to have been a small part of it i'll chip in for gas money

393

i'll move him into his dorm with whatever you need let's make

394

it happen hi mary i know

395

this must be a hard decision for you i can't tell you how to parent your child

396

I don't have children but I can tell you

397

that in all my years in academia I've never seen a mind like Sheldon's He's truly extraordinary.

398

And if you let him come here, I promise we'll take good care of him.

399

Sheldon Cooper.

400

Ready for college.

401

Ready to change the world.

402

Cut.

403

If that doesn't convince her, I don't know what her problem is.

404

Well?

405

Why don't you let me and your mom talk?

406

I'll wait.

407

Well?

408

I guess our baby's going to college.

409

It's actually a shampoo for ladies, but my hair just responds to it.

410

So, what are you doing Friday night?

411

No plans.

412

My parents are going to be out of town.

413

Really?

414

Want to come over?

415

My parents won't let me if your folks ain't there.

416

Okay.

417

But I guess I don't have to tell them.

418

Cool. Where are you going?

419

Out.

420

Out where?

421

Janice.

422

Her parents going to be there?

423

Yep.

424

Okay.

425

Let me just call and make sure.

426

Owens.

427

Owens.

428

That's your last name, right, Owens?

429

Why are you being so weird?

430

I'm not being weird. Are you?

431

No. Good.

432

No one's being weird.

433

Don't call them.

434

Why not?

435

Why can't you just trust me?

436

Because I know that you're lying.

437

What?

438

No, I'm not.

439

I heard you on the phone with Jana.

440

You spied on me?

441

I didn't mean to, but I'm glad that I did because you just lied to my face.

442

You are not going anywhere.

443

Try and stop me.

444

You walk out that door and your father gets involved.

445

I don't need this.

446

Dang.

447

What?

448

I know you don't want to talk and that's fine.

449

You can just listen.

450

life is hard enough if you make good decisions but

451

if you make bad ones

452

it gets even harder nothing was gonna happen with janna georgie no

453

you always assume the worst with me i'm sorry you're a perfect kid

454

and i'm just a screw up you are not a screw up and i was not a perfect kid

455

Oh, what'd you do?

456

Sleep through church one morning?

457

For your information, I used to skip class so that I could drink beer in my boyfriend's truck.

458

Dad had a truck back then?

459

Not talking about your dad.

460

Whoa.

461

I also stole your Beemaw's car and crashed it into a ditch.

462

Really?

463

With that boyfriend who wasn't dead?

464

Missing the point.

465

If the point is you made some bad decisions and turned out fine, then why are you being so hard on me?

466

Because some decisions you cannot walk away from, and they will affect the rest of your life.

467

If you're talking about Jana getting pregnant, she ain't gonna.

468

That is what I thought.

469

The next thing I know, I'm at the courthouse getting married.

470

You got married because you were pregnant?

471

Yes.

472

So I was a mistake?

473

No, no. You are a blessing.

474

The mistake was lying to my parents so that I could spend the night at your dad's house. And, you know, tequila.

475

Samuel, and what did David do?

476

What did David do?

477

What did David do?

478

David danced before the Lord with all his might, leaping and dancing before the Lord.

479

Leaping and dancing.

480

I'm impressed.

481

Thank you.

482

Too bad it's from Footloose.

483

What's a Footloose?

484

It is the movie that

485

Pastor Jeff warned us about in his talk on the sins of cinema.

486

Just let me go to the dance.

487

I'm sorry, I can't.

488

I'm never talking to you again.

489

Did you show your sister Footloose?

490

Did it work?

491

No. No. What about Missy?

492

She's not talking to me.

493

She'd talk to you if you just let her go.

494

You know I can't do that.

495

Come on.

496

I went to school dances and I turned out fine.

497

I didn't let you go to any dances.

498

I did all kinds of stuff behind your back.

499

Like what?

500

I'm dumb, but I'm not that dumb.

501

So I'm supposed to just let her do whatever she wants?

502

Yeah, I don't think so.

503

I'm just saying she's a good kid.

504

Be glad she's still asking.

505

Missy?

506

Go away, I'm not talking to you.

507

I know you're mad.

508

But I've been thinking about it, and I trust you enough to know that you will behave yourself.

509

So just this once, you can go.

510

Thanks, Mom.

511

Love you.

512

I hope this opened.

513

Sometimes it sticks.

514

Are you mad at me?

515

No. You sure?

516

Because that's how you looked when Dad had that breakfast beer.

517

to be honest i'm a little concerned

518

that i've given you the wrong impression about how prayer works

519

i got it i ask god for stuff he gives

520

it to me it's not rocket science missy god does not grant wishes

521

so he gave me good luck it's not luck luck is chance

522

and god has a plan right and his plan is to give me what I want when I pray.

523

That's why he's so cool.

524

No. I mean, he is cool, but sometimes that might not be his plan.

525

And what's the point of praying if he's just gonna do what he wants?

526

You don't pray to God to get things.

527

You pray to build a relationship with him.

528

This is too complicated.

529

I'm just gonna keep wrapping this thing on my back and kicking butt.

530

Okay.

531

That is it.

532

Take it off.

533

No, I need it.

534

The game's Saturday.

535

There are more important things than baseball.

536

Now hand it over.

537

God, cover your ears.

538

Damn it.

539

Missy Cooper!

540

You are not ready for that.

541

You give that back.

542

Oh, you get!

543

Lord, I really need you right now.

544

I have tried so hard to lead my family to your life, but so far, Sheldon doesn't believe in you.

545

Missy thinks you're a magic trick and you're not a teenage girl so georgie doesn't think about you at all

546

i never thought i'd take a cross away from my own child

547

but what choice did i have she was rubbing

548

it on sporting equipment i didn't think there was a wrong way to pray

549

but leave it to that girl to find one please give me the strength to keep god

550

and my family to you i can't do it on my own.

551

Amen.

552

Psst.

553

Hey, miss.

554

Come here.

555

What?

556

I'm up next.

557

No. Here.

558

Don't tell your mother.

559

I think I want to do this on my own.

560

You sure?

561

Just in case Mom's right.

562

I don't want to make God mad.

563

All right, go get him.

564

Great one!

565

Dad!

566

Coming!

567

I'll tell you what, my daughter's never gonna put me through this.

568

Oh really?

569

How you figure?

570

I'm gonna run a tight ship set some rules some boundaries and if she breaks them then she faces the

571

What do you call it repercussions?

572

Why are you smiling?

573

I just can't wait till you're a dad

574

Thank you Repercussions It's a word,

575

pick it up I'll tell you another idea I have for keeping my kid in line

576

Oh, can't wait I've seen that show where they put these electric trackers on these dolphins.

577

And with satellites, they can tell exactly where they are.

578

Dolphins?

579

Go on.

580

I'm going to stick one of them things with my kids so I always know where she is.

581

So you're going to keep track of your daughter like she's an animal?

582

Damn straight.

583

That's actually a really good idea.

584

You know what else is nice?

585

I get to learn from all your parenting mistakes.

586

Starting to think letting you live as long as one of them.

587

Like that.

588

I'd never say something so awful to my kid.

589

Thanks, big guy.

590

Well, don't you look like Madonna.

591

Thank you.

592

I was actually trying to look like you.

593

Thank you.

594

Why would you give her makeup without talking to me first?

595

I didn't give her any makeup.

596

Well, then one of you is lying.

597

She is.

598

Time to come clean, little lady.

599

I ain't taking the hit on this one.

600

I took the makeup from Emile's bag.

601

Oh, Missy, you are in a world of trouble.

602

Calm down.

603

It's not that big a deal.

604

It is so a big deal.

605

She stole from you, and then she lied about it.

606

I know, but come on.

607

She's only 10.

608

She's going to do way stupider stuff when she's older.

609

Guaranteed.

610

I don't care.

611

She is my daughter, and you will be punished.

612

sorry kid i wish i was your daughter

613

is that so well guess what you're sleeping here tonight

614

because i don't feel like being around either one of you great yeah great

615

there was a point where the doctors didn't know if you were gonna make it.

616

And your mom got so scared.

617

And she made a promise to God that if you were okay, that she would start reading the Bible,

618

going to church, that kind of stuff.

619

So I'm the reason she's a dud?

620

Your takeaway should be that you are the reason she's such a good mom, which she is.

621

And the next time you hurt her feelings, which you will, you might remember how much you mean to her?

622

Now I feel bad.

623

Good.

624

Relax.

625

You earned this one.

626

Thank you.

627

You coming back to bed?

628

in a minute kind of deja vu, huh?

629

kind of I want to be furious at them but how can I?

630

the trick is to forget we did the same thing then it's easy

631

At the time, it seemed like our lives were over, but then Georgie was born.

632

That crazy head of hair.

633

And just like that, it was the best thing that could have happened to us.

634

What kind of cigarette are you smoking there?

635

oh so what do we do now you know we have a lot of choices we're gonna be grandparents and uh

636

what's the girl's name again mandy

637

and mandy is gonna be part of our lives in some shape

638

or form until we're you know dead what do you mean shape

639

or form georgie's gotta marry her no marry he doesn't how am i supposed to set foot in my church

640

if our son has a child out of wedlock it's nobody's business it's a small town george everything is everybody's business

641

you ever stop and think maybe she doesn't want to marry a 17 year old

642

he'll be 18 in march all right you're just being ridiculous i'm being a christian

643

When you were born, you were a gift from God, but that does not change the fact that I'm very mad at you.

644

All right.

645

You got to eat them Cheerios.

646

They're good for you.

647

You can tell because there ain't no cartoon on the box.

648

Now, Cocoa Puffs got that bird on him, and he's cuckoo for him.

649

Maybe she'd like some bananas or some applesauce.

650

She don't like none of that.

651

Any of that.

652

Any of what?

653

She doesn't like any of that.

654

That's what I said.

655

No, you said she don't like none of that.

656

We're saying the same thing.

657

No, we're saying the same thing.

658

Exactly.

659

And we aren't.

660

We ain't.

661

i just think you may want to try speaking more properly in front of your daughter

662

ain't nothing wrong with the way i talk a lot of people talk like me true

663

but maybe cece will have better opportunities in life if she's well spoken she don't even talk yet no she doesn't

664

but she's listening and she's learning and we don't want her first word to be dang it

665

Better that than whatever the snooty version of Dang It is.

666

It's Darn It.

667

Dang it, I knew that.

668

Hey, what you doing?

669

Reading.

670

English grammar and composition.

671

It's messy.

672

You know, you don't have to do this.

673

I want to do it for Cece.

674

Well, maybe I can help.

675

Yeah?

676

Yeah, you don't need a book.

677

Let's just start simple.

678

Um, instead of ain't, try isn't.

679

That isn't going to be a problem.

680

There you go.

681

Now let's work on wasn't.

682

Wasn't.

683

Wasn't.

684

Wasn't.

685

I'm not hearing the S.

686

That's because it wasn't there.

687

Your mother has been helping me, and it has not been easy.

688

But I'm going to keep working on it for you.

689

Okay, let's get you cleaned up.

690

See?

691

He's trying.

692

Trying.

693

It's nice to see.

694

Who's ready for coffee?

695

I believe you mean whom's you're ready for coffee.

696

Whom's?

697

Oh, let him have this one.

698

Well, that was revolting.

699

Right.

700

This is your homeroom.

701

Do you want me to go in with you?

702

No, although I could have used you in the restroom.

703

Okay, well, you have a good day, and I'll pick you up after school.

704

Same door we came in.

705

Are you crying or having an allergy attack?

706

Allergies.

707

It's probably the ammonia.

708

Probably.

709

Okay, let the learning begin.

710

Thank 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.
