174
Dear everyone, I want to restore fairness to everyone in this school.
175
Miss Ada can't treat the students like that.
176
Do you think so?
177
Do you support me?

183
Why should I help her again?
184
This is so awkward.
185

196
I need to follow Ella's plan.
197
Adrian.
198
It's a good thing the door wasn't locked.
199
Ella, I didn't think you'd make such a bold decision.
200
Adrian, you said many people who came in here were scared by Miss Ada's harshness.
201
and when they came out they had mental problems.
202
If so, I believe in her room.
203
There will be evidence of this.
204
She must have made a report.
205
Or she printed it out for backup.
206
We must find them.
207
And expose Miss Ada.
208
But Ella, why should you do it for the others?
209
You just wait for Emma.
210
And then, you can leave this school.
211
Adrian, I can't leave you and the others.
212
This is an injustice in this school.
213
If Miss Ada is a bad person, then she must be exposed.
214
Ella, if we can get out of this school, so, can we be friends?
215
I like you.
216
It's nice, Adrian.
217
We can be friends.
218
You helped me until now.
219
Adrian, you go over there and look.
220
I'll look here.
221
I know, Ella.
222
Ella, so you really came here?
223
Miss Ada, Cora, you!
224
We searched the whole school.
225
And we didn't expect.
226
You dare to come here.
227
And Adrian too.
228
Adrian.
229
You disappoint me so much.
230
I thought you were a good student.
231
But you helped Ella.
232
Miss Ada.
233
I've been here long enough.
234
To know what this place is like.
235
Ella can't stand it.
236
I like Ella.
237
I want to help her.
238
Do you want to find the proof in here?
239
You never find that.
240
What?
241
I prepared for bad situations.
242
So, don't think of finding anything in this place.
243

Practice Tips

To effectively practice English speaking with the "Ella's Last Chance at Boarding School" video, consider using the shadow speech technique. This method involves listening closely to the dialogue and repeating phrases immediately after they are spoken, allowing you to mimic the speed, tone, and rhythm of native speakers. Start with short segments, focusing on understanding the context and emotions expressed by the characters. As you progress, challenge yourself to shadow longer segments to improve fluency and confidence.

Pay attention to the pacing of the characters in the video. Since animated dialogues can sometimes be faster than regular conversations, it’s essential to practice slowly at first, gradually increasing your speed. Use this video not just as entertainment but also as a tool for IELTS speaking practice and daily English speaking practice. By immersing yourself in such engaging content, you can effectively learn English with YouTube and enhance your shadowspeak abilities, enabling you to communicate more naturally and effectively in conversations.

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.
