There is one example.
4
The children in Mr White's class have just finished an art project about their favourite creatures.
5
Which creature did each child draw?
6
Your classroom looks fantastic, Mr White.
7
Who did all these beautiful drawings?
8
They're good, aren't they?
9
The children did a project on their favourite creatures.
10
Who drew the camel?
11
Oh, that was George.
12
He visited an animal park with his family last weekend, and he had a ride on one.
13
They're very ugly animals, but he thought it was great.
14
Can you see the letter H?
15
Now you listen and write a letter in each box.
16
Look at all the different colours in this beetle.
17
It's really good.
18
Yes, the boy who did that is a really clever artist.
19
What's his name?
20
It's Richard.
21
He collects insects and studies them, so he knows a lot about them.
22
Excellent!
23
Excellent!
24
I can see that some of the other children like things that fly.
25
Yes, that's right.
26
One girl's family keeps birds at home.
27
Really?
28
Yes.
29
Her name's Daisy.
30
What did she draw?
31
Well, before she started, she wanted to do a parrot.
32
But then she saw a TV programme about an eagle, and she decided to do one of those instead.
33
And sea creatures are popular with your class, too.
34
Who drew the dolphin?
35
Was it the boy called John?
36
Well, he did draw something in the sea, but he prefers dangerous animals.
37
So is that his shark?
38
Yes.
39
It looks quite frightening with all those teeth, doesn't it?
40
There's another dangerous animal here.
41
Do you mean the dinosaur?
42
No, actually, I meant the polar bear.
43
Oh, yes.
44
They look furry and nice, but they can be horrible.
45
A girl called Emma drew that.
46
She wants to go and explore cold countries in the future, so she chose that animal.
47
So, who did draw the dinosaur?
48
It's very good.
49
Yes, it is.
50
That was Sarah.
51
She's really interested in animals that are extinct, so she chose to do that one.
52
They're quite difficult to draw, but she did it really well.
53
Yes, she did.
54
But all the children's drawings are great.
55

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.
