1
The smell of coffee.
2
A cup of coffee a day. So soft and moist.
3
What on earth is that smell?
4
Why did she have to get here so early?
5
I'm going to tell the teacher what you're doing.
6
She did say that coffee wasn't good for growing children after all.
7
Eat this and maybe it'll change your mind.
8
Huh?
9
Ah!
10
Oh no, who would throw bread away?
11
Why would you throw food like that?
12
If you don't want it, just don't eat it!
13
Yeah, honey, that's pretty mean considering it's from Doggy's Bakery.
14
What?
15
That was Doggy's bread?
16
Perhaps I could just brush the dust off.
17
Listen, I didn't mean to throw it, I promise.
18
I actually didn't even have breakfast this morning.
19
Don't make me laugh.
20
You threw it because you thought the bread was terrible.
21
No!
22
No, I did not!
23
Doggy, will you give it to me?
24
We'll gladly eat it.
25
No, you shouldn't.
26
There's too much dirt on it.
27
I should throw it away.
28
By the way, did you guys finish your homework?
29
I haven't finished yet because it was way too hard.
30
They should have told me it was Dalgy's bread.
31
Alright, today we're going to write in our journals about Autumn children.
32
Oh gosh, I wonder if he would keep it to himself.
33
Okay, does everyone have their science equipment?
34
I wonder if Dalgy's mad at me.
35
He worked so hard at his bakery and had to throw it away.
36
Please color it carefully.
37
Art is Dalgi's favorite class, so maybe he'll forget all about what I did with the bread.
38
Hold on, wait a sec.
39
What am I even doing caring about him?
40
Oh well, no harm has been done.
41
I just have to try to stop thinking about him.
42
Get him out of your head.
43
Stop thinking about him so much.
44
Well, could someone tell me how Chosu and Yanhui were able to share seven cream buns equally?
45
Me!
46
Me!
47
It's easy!
48
They just have to throw one away!
49
Shut up, Chudu!
50
That sounds like the right answer.
51
School's over for today.
52
What an annoying day.
53
Let's just hope that tomorrow is better.
54
Okay, make it sound natural.
55
I apologize for throwing the bread, but...
56
Doggy, we're here!
57
Why is she there?
58
Come on in, Jadu.
59
Huh?
60
Ah!
61
Yay!
62
Yay!
63
Yum yum yum!
64
This is so delicious!
65
Well, I hope she leaves soon.
66
By the way, Doggy, why do you have so much free bread today?
67
Help yourself, it's fine.
68
My mom was experimenting and baked tons of different breads.
69
I'm sorry for eating so much without paying.
70
I know!
71
I'll help you clean the bakery!
72
No, you don't have to!
73
You don't have to feel bad!
74
We're friends!
75
Yeah, and good friends should help each other out!
76
They look so happy, don't they? Are they kidding me?
77
I know!
78
It's so ridiculous, isn't it?
79
What?
80
You're thinking what I'm thinking, right?
81
I knew it.
82
What do you mean?
83
I'm talking about the bakery, duh.
84
Don't you think it's ridiculous?
85
There is even a cat running around in there.
86
It's absolutely disgusting.
87
Don't they have a sense of hygiene?
88
Do you agree, Eunhee?
89
Uh, you're right.
90
If she brought a cat, shouldn't she try to make her visit as short as possible?
91
You're totally right!
92
I think you're the only one in class that's at my level.
93
Hey!
94
I heard you can go to the ballet school nearby.
95
I just registered there as well.
96
Wanna go together?
97
Minji!
98
I brought you Americano!
99
Oh my gosh, really?
100
Wait, but I couldn't buy the bread, I'm sorry.
101
Doggy's Bakery hasn't opened yet today.
102
Instead, I brought Choco Choc!
103
You're the best!
104
Choco Choc's always welcome in my belly!
105
Shouldn't Doggy be here?
106
His bakery opens really early, doesn't it?
107
Hey, you guys.
108
Ah!
109
Doggy!
110
Why the long face?
111
What can I do?
112
Someone reported our bakery, and now we're gonna have to close it.
113
You were what?
114
Reported?
115
Um, for real?
116
There's been a crackdown on restaurants.
117
They say our bakery's hygiene problem is serious.
118
That's not true!
119
Who on Earth reported such nonsense?!
120
We don't know who did it yet.
121
Anyway, we're gonna have to close our bakery for a while.
122
That's weird.
123
Who would do such a thing?
124
Hey, Kim Noori.
125
It was you.
126
Uh, uh, uh, what are you talking about, Eunhee?
127
You're scaring me.
128
You're the one who reported Dao Gees Bakery.
129
It was you who did it, wasn't it?
130
Well, duh.
131
Somebody had to.
132
Yeah, I reported it because nobody else did.
133
By the way, you're kind of funny.
134
You also spoke ill of his bakery, but now you're siding with him because he's the poor kid in class?
135
What?
136
The poor kid?
137
Would you get out of my way, please?
138
I'm late.
139
My ballet class starts soon.
140
What's happening to Dalgi?
141
Wait, but why can't you open your bakery?
142
It's not fair you can't sell your bread just because someone told on you.
143
We can't sell bread until the results come back.
144
Excuse me.
145
We're here from the Department of Food Safety.
146
Oh, hello, sir.
147
There were many complaints about this place, so I think I'll take some time.
148
Cat fur?
149
This isn't looking good for you.
150
Excuse me, sir.
151
Sir, that's not their fur.
152
That's my cat's fur, but it's very clean.
153
My kind of runji house, play with me here.
154
If this is going on, you'll have to prepare for a few months of suspension.
155
What?
156
Oh.
157
Hey, guys.
158
Guys, there's a new burger shop right up the street!
159
Who wants to come with me?
160
No thanks, dude.
161
I'm not really in the mood.
162
We're not really in the mood either.
163
What's the website for the Department of Food Hygiene?
164
How come the results aren't in yet?
165
Minji, I've got some trees for you, sweetie.
166
Oh, here they are.
167
You should do your homework after that.
168
Okay, I will, Mom.
169
Huh?
170
What is this?
171
No freaking way!
172
This couldn't be true!
173
It doesn't make any sense!
174
Hello, who's this?
175
Oh, Bingy, hey!
176
Jadu!
177
The culprit was in our class all along!
178
What are you talking about?
179
I found out that he was a person who reported Talky's fingery!
180
It's Ed!
181
Who was it then?
182
Anhe!
183
Hey, Anhe!
184
Is Anhee not here?
185
Nuri, you're here!
186
Have you seen Anhee?
187
She wasn't at ballet class today.
188
But I think I saw her on the street where the bakery is.
189
Oh really?
190
Thanks a lot!
191
That evil two -faced liar!
192
Hey, Ani, how could you?
193
How could you do that?
194
What on earth are you doing, Juju?
195
She's the little rat who reported your bakery!
196
Yeah, I knew that.
197
What?
198
You knew that?
199
What's all this fuss about?
200
What are you doing here?
201
Wait, what's that in your hand, sir?
202
It'll get all dirty.
203
Is that the perfect hygiene sign?
204
Okay, tell me where you want me to put it.
205
No, not there.
206
You need to put it where everyone can see it.
207
Kim Nuri, I can't believe you wrote this!
208
Huh?
209
Wait a minute.
210
What am I worrying about so much?
211
Aha!
212
That's it!
213
And to think you were actually helping.
214
You might not know anything about Zawgi's Bakery now, but I'm about to show you!
215
The ingredients' freshness, the oven's tidiness, the tools' cleanliness, the observance of baker's regulations, and so on.
216
All of the 12 reports were rated with the highest possible grades, kids.
217
Uh, yeah.
218
And I'm really sorry for the confusion with the cat fur and all.
219
Well, you should be sorry.
220
You sure are good at reporting.
221
You really think I am?
222
Your clean store might have closed down if I hadn't reported it.
223
Wait a second.
224
What are you talking about?
225
So, Anhee, you reported it again to clear the bakery's name?
226
Be quiet, you do.
227
Doggy, are you too busy to take my order?
228
Huh?
229
What do you mean?
230
I'm going to be hosting a fabulous sleepover this weekend, and that's where you come in.
231
I need lots and lots of bread.
232
Really?
233
You do?
234
You usually eat the bread from the fancy bakery, don't you?
235
That's right!
236
Uh, the customer's minds are always unpredictable.
237
I just want to buy bread from the cleanest bakery in town.
238
Can you blame me for it?
239
In that case, thanks a lot, Unhee.
240
Hey, look, Chidu.
241
Take this.
242
What is it?
243
Is this for me?
244
No way.
245
Yeah, right.
246
Give that to Minji.
247
What a shame.
248
You should give me one of those, too.
249
What do you mean?
250
I mean, you like doggy, don't you?
251
What are you talking about?
252
Are you out of your mind?
253
I've never seen your face turn that shade of red before.
254
I don't need to hear about this anymore.
255
I'm going to ballet now.
256
I know you didn't go to your ballet class today.
257
I'll take this invitation.
258
But don't you worry, your secret is safe with me.
259
And you don't need to go to ballet.
260
We can keep whatever you do between us.
261
Go!
262
Good luck!
263
Oh, my goodness!
264
Unhee, are you all right?
265
See you guys tomorrow!
266
Uh, uh, uh...

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.
