2
You know the way to the place where I'm going.

Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.
11
How can you say, Show us the Father?
12
Don't you believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me?

The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority.
14
Rather, it is the Father living in me who is doing his work.
15
Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me.
16
Or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.
17
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing,
18
and they will do even greater things than these because I am going to the Father.
19
And I will do whatever you ask in my name so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

You may ask me for anything in my name and I will do it. If you love me, keep my commands

and I will ask the Father and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever.
22
the Spirit of truth the world cannot accept him
23
because it neither sees him nor knows him
24
but you know him for he lives with you
25
and will be in you I will not leave you as orphans I will come to you
26
before long the world will not see me anymore but you will see me because I live you also will live
27
On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
28
Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.
29
The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.
30

31
Jesus replied, Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.
32
My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.
33
Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching.
34
These words you hear are not my own.
35
They belong to the Father who sent me.
36
All this I have spoken while still with you.
37
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,
38
will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
39
Peace I leave with you.
40
My peace I give you.
41

42
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

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.
