I'm taking you shopping.

113

Oh, so you want some more acupuncture?

114

OK, OK, I'm coming, I'm coming.

115

And don't forget your money.

116

Oh, you are learning quickly.

117

Whoa!

118

Eh!

119

I have a pullover for you.

120

Oh, thank you, Mom. Do you like it?

121

Well...

122

It's...

123

It's original.

124

Hey, Dan.

125

Guess who I'm going out with?

126

Brigid.

127

At last she realises that I am the one for her.

128

The only problem is she doesn't like my manners or my hair or my clothes.

129

I want you more like David Beckham.

130

Ah, like this.

131

Chrissy, I've been going out with Nick for two days now, and he is perfect for me.

132

Wow, that long?

133

Well, when I've changed him a bit, he will be perfect.

134

Oh, you are learning quickly. To Padre Jamo.

135

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

136

Mother, when in London, we speak English.

137

Yes, we must.

138

English is the language of high class.

139

So I must teach it.

140

Learn.

141

Que?

142

You must learn it, not teach it.

143

Oh, yes.

144

So, your father has found you a wife.

145

He told me.

146

He must stop shopping on eBay.

147

Look, ma'am, I don't want a wife.

148

I've got Annie.

149

This girl is from a good family.

150

So is Annie.

151

This girl is rich.

152

I don't care about money.

153

But she's almost royalty.

154

Mum, Annie is my princess.

155

But she's so...

156

She's so clever, so kind, so happy.

157

Annie?

158

Very happy.

159

What happened?

160

Ziggy and I were in a field lying down, sunbathing, protesting, and...

161

It began to rain!

162

Oh, poor Annie!

163

Don't touch her!

164

Now listen, ma'am.

165

I've told you I love Annie.

166

Be careful, you pull over.

167

Hector, your mother's right.

168

Don't touch me!

169

Ah, ah.

170

Que temperamento!

171

Why did you do that?

172

Because I love you, darling.

173

If you knew Annie, you would love her.

174

Well, I'm going home tomorrow.

175

Look, ma'am, come to dinner tonight and you will meet the real Annie.

176

And if you don't like her, then.. then I might marry the princess that has found.

177

Annie?

178

Annie?

179

Yes, Hector? Can we talk?

180

If that's okay with your mother.

181

Oh, Annie, she's gone to her hotel now.

182

Look, she's going home tomorrow, and I thought we would invite her to dinner tonight.

183

Well, I'm going out.

184

Honey, please don't be silly.

185

Stay and be nice to her.

186

She's okay, really.

187

Well, okay then.

188

But you must do one thing for me.

189

Sure.

190

What?

191

Scrub my back.

192

Oh, but I am still dressed. So am I.

193

Well, I can't put these in the washing machine.

194

They're filthy.

195

Mmm...

196

Apricot?

197

No. Annie, will you behave? When?

198

When my mother comes to dinner.

199

Mmm, probably.

200

Strawberry!

201

Annie, I have an idea.

202

Nick is pretending to be someone different.

203

Nick isn't pretending.

204

This is the new Nick.

205

Isn't it, Nick?

206

You can pretend as well.

207

You can pretend to be what my mother wants.

208

What?

209

Princess Caroline of Monaco?

210

Look, Nick is pretending to be what Bridget wants.

211

Yeah.

212

A slave.

213

How can I help?

214

As you can see, I'm a talented stylist.

215

Could I have some more cola, please, sweetie?

216

My mother is coming to dinner tonight.

217

Oh, so what's on the menu?

218

I am.

219

What sort of food does your mother like?

220

Babies on toast?

221

I don't know.

222

A traditional English dish.

223

I am not going to pretend to eat meat.

224

How about roast Annie?

225

I know.

226

What about sweet and sour prawn balls?

227

Sweet for me.

228

And sour for Hector's mum.

229

Nick, behave.

230

Very funny.

231

I will cook dinner.

232

And Nick will look after your mother.

233

Because he's such a gentleman now.

234

Don't you worry about Mrs R.

235

She'll have a great time.

236

Leave it to me.

237

So, Annie, will you pretend?

238

OK, Hector, for you, tonight I will pretend to be the perfect girlfriend.

239

Annie, you and I are going shopping.

240

Too obvious.

241

Too Margaret Thatcher.

242

Hector will love it, but, er...

243

No. Perfect.

244

Nadia, Hector's mother was here again today.

245

She is so rude to me.

246

Don't touch her!

247

Your mother's right!

248

Don't touch me!

249

Worse still, she's coming to dinner tonight.

250

And Hector wants me to pretend to be the perfect girlfriend.

251

No. You can pretend to be what my mother wants.

252

What?

253

Princess Caroline of Monaco?

254

Perfect.

255

It's working.

256

I'm changing Nick into the perfect boyfriend.

257

Yeah.

258

A slave.

259

Wow, Arnie, you look great.

260

I look 45 years old.

261

But my mother will like it.

262

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.
