5
Who's driving?
6
I'm gonna win so hard.
7
Foot on the pedal staring at the screen You're the prettiest game that I've ever seen Fast lane,
8
no brakes, driving in the dark Waiting for the crash,
9
waiting for the spark I'm in the one of the final turn Watching the bridges and tires burn It's a losing game,
10
but I play the wind Spin me around and throw me back in My favorite day My favorite crash Congratulations!
11
Looks like this is your lucky night!
12
Anything you want to say?
13
Luck?
14
Luck has nothing to do with my winning.
15
I'm the best.
16
Of course I was going to win.
17
No doubt about that.
18
Losing?
19
That's not in my vocabulary.
20
Maeve Lawrence, everyone!
21
I won.
22
I expected you to win.
23
Good publicity for Schwitt.
24
I thought if I won enough, no death, they'd finally look at me.
25
Another trophy, another medal, another championship, another perfect performance.
26
I kept thinking the next one would be different.
27
That maybe this time, they'd be proud.
28
Maybe this time, they'd see me.
29
Winning isn't enough.
30
But somewhere along the way,
31
winning stopped feeling like winning.
32
It became expected, normal, required.
33
Like breathing.
34
Like something I was supposed to do.
35
Not something worth celebrating.
36
At home, victory means nothing.
37
One, two, three, four.
38
One, two, three, four.
39
You're so cool, right?
40
Grab my foot and chase the waves out.
41
On this sea, it's the end of the state.
42
No maps, no plans, just follow in the light.
43
Ira Mendoza, enough of that!
44
Come here already!
45
You're mad?
46
You only call me by my full name when you're mad.
47
I am serious.
48
Did you see how big those waves were?
49
They're dangerous they're dangerous.
50
Mom, that's why it's called surfing.
51
We actually wait for the big waves.
52
And that's exactly what worries me.
53
Honestly, all your hobbies make my heart jump.
54
This surfing, your cycling, your skateboarding on the road, every time you go out I get scared.
55
Mom.
56
The only hobby you have that doesn't worry me is when you're playing drums.
57
See, drumming is good for your health.
58
It's almost dinner.
59
Yeah, I'm actually a little hungry.
60
Well, that's a surprise.
61
Hey, surfing makes people hungry.

122
Besides, you went there.
123
Maybe that's one of the reasons I want to go.
124
It's a part of your story.
125
And maybe I want it to become a part of mine too.

  • Pay attention to speed: The dialogue features a mixture of quick exchanges and reflective pauses. Listen closely to the pacing and strive to mirror this when you practice shadow speaking.
  • Express emotions: Practice not just the words, but the emotion behind them. Use intonation and stress to convey the characters' feelings, which can enrich your understanding of conversational context.
  • Break it down: Focus on shorter sections of the dialogue to avoid feeling overwhelmed. As you grow more comfortable, gradually increase the length of the segments you practice.
  • Record yourself: After practicing, record your voice and listen for areas of improvement. This technique is especially useful for IELTS speaking practice as it helps you evaluate your pronunciation and fluency.

By implementing these tips while you learn English with YouTube content like this, you will enhance your speaking abilities and build confidence in your English communication skills.

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.
