Creating lesson...
1
Hi, Dr. House.
2
Hello, girl, whose name I don't remember.
3
But whose dad I treated, so I don't really know why she's here.
4
Allie.
5
Um, I think I caught what my dad has.
6
The rhino thing.
7
Right. Does that hurt?
8
A little.
9
It's in my chest, too.
10
Of course it is.
11
Kind of had access through the shirt.
12
This will work.
13
It feels good.
14
Exactly when did New Jersey run out of horny 17 -year -old boys?
15
About five weeks ago.
16
It's been very lonely.
17
The ventilation scam was normal, time to send him home.
18
Can't leave right now.
19
Well, congratulations, you are the proud owner of your very own rhino thing.
20
A rhinovirus?
21
You can't leave because she has a cold?
22
Can't leave because Cuddy says I can't leave.
23
House. Can we talk?
24
Carpet?
25
Never.
26
Nothing to talk about.
27
Your girlfriend called the clinic 15 times looking for you today.
28
Ha.
29
A lot to discuss.
30
China patterns.
31
House.
32
She's a stalker.
33
Right.
34
Couldn't be that she finds me interesting, attractive.
35
Has to be that she's insane.
36
She's called you 15 times.
37
Your mother's not that interested in you.
38
Well, maybe I'd be better adjusted if she was.
39
I'm notifying security.
40
Is this about the carpet?
41
You think I'll back off if you block all my fun?
42
You better not be having fun.
43
I'm having fun.
44
Not having sex.
45
She's dangerous.
46
She's not dangerous.
47
She's pretty.
48
She's pretty.
49
Men are stupid.
50
I'm with you so far.
51
I'm notifying security.
52
Give her a break.
53
She's not dangerous.
54
She's insightful.
55
You can't stop our love!
56
Hey.
57
You could get into a lot of trouble being here.
58
I wanted to see you.
59
Yeah, I got that. So did everyone else.
60
They think you're a stalker.
61
One could argue those people might be jealous of your attention.
62
Yes, I actually made that argument. And going home?
63
That's the plan.
64
In Iceland, the age of consent is 14.
65
I'm surprised that tourism isn't a bigger industry up there.
66
Today I'm jailbait, but in 22 weeks, anybody can do anything to me.
67
Will I be so different in 22 weeks?
68
22 weeks is enough for an embryo to grow arms and legs.
69
It's just a line, an arbitrary line drawn by a bunch of saddled men in robes.
70
Yeah, who cares what the judges think?
71
I didn't think of you as the guy who followed rules just because they were rules.
72
You are over ten years younger than me.
73
I said over.
74
Gotta go!
75
Dr. Cuddy, do you happen to know the way to the Icelandic consulate?
76
This young woman, a stranger to me, was just asking directions.
77
Security was going to call the police.
78
I don't want to do that to you.
79
Go home.
80
She needed a ride.
81
She got here on her own.
82
She can get home on her own.
83
Now.
84
And if I see you on hospital grounds again, I will call the police.
85
After that look, I'm feeling a little frisky.
86
Looks like you're up.
87
I'm ovulating.
88
Let's go.
89
The frisky, it went away.
90
House, this isn't a game.
91
If I leave her alone, can I have my carpet back?
92
No. If I forget about my carpet, can I have her?
93
She's locked up in my office.
94
I was hoping you could talk to her,
95
put an end to this. But listen to me.
96
Do you have any idea what you'd have to look forward to if you stayed with me?
97
Nine chances out of ten, we'd both wind up in a jail.
98
You're only saying that to make me go.
99
I'm saying it because it's true.
100
Inside of us, we both know that you belong with Victor.
101
Is there Victor in your class?
102
If you're not with someone your age, you'll regret it.
103
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon.
104
And for the rest of your life.
105
What about us?
106
We'll always have Fresno.
107
I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see
108
that the problems of two little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.
109
Someday you'll understand that.
110
I don't know.
111
Here's looking at you.
112
Damn.
113
Was there an earthquake when you were in Fresno?
114
What?
115
I ask all my little friends that.
116
Um.
117
Yeah, a little one.
118
Damn.
119
What?
120
What?
121
What is it?
122
It's not love.
123
You have a spore in your brain.
124
Coccidioides imidus.
125

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.
