Lesson 3: What's After 7?
36
Have you ever needed help with math?
37
The next time you need help, ask Ashia the elephant.
38
A Shia counts very well.
39
She also doesn't make many mistakes.
40
Let's go to Japan and learn more about how amazing a Shia is.
41
Ashia lives at the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo.
42
This is where it was discovered that a Shia could do math.
43
Many animals, not just elephants, can count things.
44
But other animals can only count to about three or four.
45
A shia can count up to seven.
46
She is a very smart elephant.
47
How do we know if a shear can really count?
48
We can't just give her a math test, can we?
49
Actually, that's exactly what happened.
50
A university professor thought of the idea to test a Shia using apples.
51
The professor put two buckets in front of a shia.
52
Ashia couldn't see inside the buckets though.
53
She could only see if things were dropped inside of them.
54
The workers slowly put five apples into one of the buckets.
55
One by one, they dropped in the apples.
56
In the second bucket, they put in seven apples.
57
If a shear really can count, then she will pick the bucket with more apples.
58
The workers repeated the experiment many times.
59
Sometimes they would even switch the buckets.
60
They were trying to confuse a Shia.
61
But even so, Ashia almost always selected the basket with more apples.
62
She scored an 87 % on her math test.
63
There could be only one reason for this.
64
A Shia must have been counting the apples as they were dropped into the bucket.
65
She must also know that seven apples are more than five apples.
66
Everyone was shocked.
67
They couldn't believe that an elephant could do math.

Step-by-Step Shadowing Guide to Boost Your Skills
Shadow speech is a fantastic way to improve English pronunciation and fluency—even for IELTS speaking practice! Here's how to use this video:
- Listen first: Watch the video once to understand the story. Notice how words like "professor" and "experiment" are pronounced.
- Shadow slowly: Pause after each sentence and repeat it, matching the tone and speed. Focus on tricky sounds, like the "sh" in "shocked" or "switch."
- Check for clarity: Record yourself and compare it to the video. Are you saying "exactly" with the right stress? Adjust until it sounds natural.
- Practice daily: Spend 5-10 minutes shadowing the dialogue. Over time, you'll notice your pronunciation and confidence improve—just like Ashia's math skills!
Remember, every mistake is a step forward. Keep practicing, and soon you'll be speaking English with the same ease as Ashia counts to seven. Happy learning!

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.
