The End The End The End Ugh, my stomach's killing me.
2
Ugh, I guess I drank too much last night.
3
Huh?
4
That one's okay, but this one works better.
5
My dad always drinks this when his stomach hurts.
6
He says it works like magic.
7
Can you move?
8
I'll pay for this.
9
Bottoms up!
10
Everyone, we have someone special to introduce to you today.
11
Please come in, teacher.
12
Hello everyone.
13
Starting today, this teacher trainee will be helping with our class for a few weeks.
14
Wow, she looks super smart!
15
She has that honor roll student vibe.
16
Nice to meet you all.
17
My name is Chaka- Wh- wha- AAAAAAAH!

28
Of all people in my class!
29
Huh?
30
Hey, teacher!
31
You chucked that drink so fast!
32
Do you gotta go to the bathroom now?
33
We ran into each other this morning, right?
34
Just so there's no misunderstanding, I'm just used to drinking that kind of stuff like it's water.
35
But your breath smelled just like my dad's when he's drunk.
36
It's a natural talent!
37
Since this is my first class, I'm rough around the edges.
38
Feel free to ask any questions you have.
39
Okay!
40
Page 20, Jobs of the Future.
41
While future careers are becoming more diverse, some jobs will disappear due to technological advances.
42
Bankers, chefs, teachers.
43
Teachers?
44
No, are teachers going to disappear?
45
Oh no!
46
Alright, let's settle down.
47
But then, does that mean you'll have to find another job and can't work here?
48
Guys!
49
Let's be super nice to our teacher!
50
Today we'll be doing a two-person jump rope with a partner.
51
Our teacher here doesn't have a partner.
52
Who wants to jump rope with her?
53
Me!
54
Me!
55
Me!
56
Wow, you're quite the popular one, huh?
57
N-next person!
58
Teacher, I'll step out now.
59
Hurry up and get in!
60
I'm not so great at timing the jumps, you know.
61
You can go now!
62
Let the next kid take a turn!
63
I'm bad at knowing when to leave, too.
64
Y-you!
65
AAAAAAHHHHH!
66
Teacher!
67
What the heck?
68
Look at that red bomb!
69
What are you doing?
70
I-I just wanted to help your big mosquito bite. So annoying!
71
I should just quit this stupid teaching practicum already!
72
Um, teacher?
73
Huh?
74
I brought this from the nurse's office.
75
Hm.
76
I just get picky about cleanliness.
77
You caught me off guard.
78
I'm sorry, I didn't know that.
79
Here, to wipe your face!
80
Go on, get ready for the next class.
81
Okay, teacher.
82
Ugh!
83
Make sure to use this!
84
Autumn mosquitoes are supposed to be worse!
85
Hehehehe!
86
Hm-hm-hm...
87
Hm...
88
Hm...
89
Hmph!
90
Meeh...
91
Meeh...
92
Meeh...
93
Aww!
94
They're so cute!
95
Ugh!
96
That animal smell!
97
Ugh!
98
Would you mind helping the kids tidy up the sheep area?
99
The school made this little pasture just for them.
100
Aren't the sheep just adorable?
101
Yes, very.
102
Lovely.
103
Ugh, my back!
104
Teacher!
105
Isn't Galwo just the cutest?
106
Excuse me?
107
We gave her a name, do you like it?
108
Why would you name it after me?
109
Don't you think a different cuter name might suit it better?
110
We like this name better.
111
Then we'll always remember you when we see her.
112
Um, you better clean out the sheep feeding tray.
113
Okay, teacher.
114
Hmm.
115
Hey, cut it out.
116
They don't even realize I don't like them.
117
I'm late, and it's raining now.
118
I'm off.
119
Change your clothes.
120
It looks like you stayed out all night!
121
I will.
122
Don't worry.
123
Nailed it.
124
No one saw me being late.
125
Huh?
126
Quiet.
127
I'm busy. So noisy.
128
When does this stupid practicum end?
129
What now?
130
Let's share this umbrella, teacher.
131
Hey, don't you have a class right now?
132
Yeah, sorry I'm late.
133
I went around looking for an umbrella just for Galwoo, but couldn't find one.
134
You came here because you were worried about Galwoo too, right?
135
Give me that.
136
I'll hold it.
137
Teacher, your nice clothes are getting wet.
138
I'm fine.
139
I said it's fine.
140
I need to dry off.
141
It's fine.
142
I'll dry eventually.
143
She's so clueless.
144
Do I really have to spell it out that I don't like her?
145
Wait!
146
Why am I thinking about a student on a weekend?
147
Ugh!
148
Maybe I'll go on a trip once this practicum's over.
149
Like maybe.. hmm...
150
Yeah, the ocean sounds nice.
151
Huh?
152
What the?!
153
Jadoo?!
154
Huh?
155
Wait, wait, wait!
156
Jadoo!
157
Huh?
158
My teacher? Where are you going?
159
Stop right there!
160
I broke all of my mom's favorite flower pots.
161
I'm too scared to go home.
162
So, where were you headed on that truck?
163
My friend's house.
164
I was gonna go to Busan, catch a ferry, and hide out in Jeju.
165
What?!
166
Did it ever cross your mind how dangerous that is alone?!
167
I'll be careful, okay?
168
I just need some fresh air, too.
169
Please don't tell anyone you saw me!
170
Wait a sec!
171
Why?
172
You have no idea how scary the world is!
173
You've never met my mom!
174
She's way scarier!
175
If it's fresh air you need, I'll give you fresh air.
176
Hey, teacher, can you just drop me off in Busan, then?
177
I hate kids.
178
Huh?
179
What?
180
I said I don't like kids.
181
I went to teacher's college because my parents made me.
182
I really didn't want to do it, but I had no choice because of the credits.
183
Seriously?
184
What I'm saying is there'll be times in life you have to deal with stuff you don't want to
185
But getting caught by some creepy strangers on your way to Busan and never making it home.
186
That's worse Good then you hate me too teacher.
187
Mm-hmm I Don't totally hate you You just told a lie to me to make me feel better
188
Okay, I'll listen to everything you say.
189
I'll go home now.
190
Of course I feel relieved.
191
I'm honestly surprised you didn't quit the practicum and quit teaching.
192
Wanna go somewhere next week to celebrate?
193
How about a five day four night trip?
194
Next week?
195
Yeah, sure.
196
I'll call you later.
197
Seriously, Mom, I told you to stop marking these things on my calendar.
198
Why are benders wandering around an apartment complex?
199
Yeah, I know.
200
I know.
201
Oh, look.
202
What?
203
Huh?
204
DJ!
205
I missed you, you know?
206
What are you doing here?
207
Gowl's wool grew a lot, so I was trimming it for her.
208
I really have to go.
209
Don't worry.
210
I'll take great care of Ga-ul.
211
So when you become a real teacher, you have to come teach at our school.
212
Promise me, okay?
213
Even if I go now, I'll still be late for the exam anyway.
214
Wait, maybe not?
215
No. I wasn't gonna look, so I won't.
216
But hey, having more certifications can't hurt, right?
217
Being a teacher is just another certificate anyway.
218
Hmm.
219
Screw it!
220
If I change my mind later, I'll just quit.
221
No big deal.

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.
