I will fix that arm of yours straight away.
93
No. Not you.
94
Poor boy.
95
He doesn't know what he's saying.
96
Now, this won't hurt a bit.
97
Brachiam.
98
Emendo!

What's this rubbish, she says.
140
That there is the secret to our success.
141
It's a wrench giving it to you, believe me.
142
But we've decided your needs are greater than ours.
143
George, if you will.
144
I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.
145
Messers Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs are proud to present the Marauders map.

I don't think you meant it to kill anyone, but...
158
You can't.
159
You don't understand.
160
The dead girl's parents will be here tomorrow.
161
The least Hogwarts can do is make sure the thing that killed their daughter is slaughtered.
162
It wasn't him.
163
Aragog never killed no one.
164
Never!
165
Monsters don't make good pets, Hagrid.

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.
