Good evening!
12
Voi ditelo nella luce, e quello che ascoltate all'orecchio voi annunciatelo dalle terrazze.
13
Fa un accostamento tra ciò che ascoltiamo all'orecchio, cioè nel segreto del cuore,
14
e ciò che siamo chiamati a proclamare a tutti, remembering that the announcement of the Gospel is,
15
first of all, a division of a personal encounter with him, unique to everyone.
16
The force of the Apostles, in fact, beyond techniques and instruments,
17
is based on the work of the Holy Spirit in us and on the authenticity of our response.
18
Saint Thomas d'Aquino spoke of the preaching as to transmit to others what we contemplated,
19
contemplated by the straddle.
20
And we must not think that contemplation is an exclusive experience,
21
reserved to some saints or to some monarchy and to the eremit.
22
We can all do it, trying to keep our daily lives in our days,
23
moments of quietness in which we put in silence in front of God, to listen to His voice,
24
to give His joy and our concerns, to give His life with Him.
25
This makes us more people, solid and aware, and therefore,
26
apostles, credible and free, men and women,
27
capable of reflecting the light of the Vangelo in every environment and in every situation of life,
28
and to testify even where his value is not understood or accepted.
29
Matthew, author of the biblical bram of which we refer, wrote about communities that did not have easy life.
30
They had to face the hostility and persecution,
31
as it still happens today to many Christians in various places in the earth.
32
And the temptation to discourage themselves and to let themselves win from the stanchess or from the fear was great.
33
Now, as it is, it is impegnative to remain faithful to the teaching of Jesus and to announce His Word.
34
respond to hatred with love,
35
to prepotence with amity, to encouragement with perseverance.
36
For this is necessary that we find the roots of our faith
37
and our mission in an intense This gives us the strength to not surrender and to continue to transmit to everyone,
38
in every circumstance, His message of hope, of love and peace.
39
The world needs so much.
40
The Virgin Mary helps us to be disciples and missionaries of Jesus Christ, each one according to their own vocations.

the United Nations in the record of the 75th anniversary of the Convention on the State of the Refugees,
71

72
I wish that the spirit that inspired the creation of this important international instrument
73

No one can turn to another side of those who seek protection and security.

Practice Tips

As you work through this lesson, consider using a shadowing app to enhance your practice effectively. Shadowing involves mimicking the speaker's words as closely as possible. Start by listening to the prayer at a normal speed, then repeat each phrase after the speaker. Since the tone of the prayer is reflective and deliberate, try to match the pace of the speaker, focusing on clarity and emotion, which helps convey deeper meaning. This method will reinforce your English speaking skills while also improving your understanding of context.

Also, consider practicing in a quiet area where you can concentrate. Read aloud and even record your voice for self-assessment. This can help you identify areas needing improvement, such as pronunciation or fluency. For those preparing for IELTS speaking practice, utilize a shadowing site where you can access similar content for added variety. Remember to be patient and consistent in your practice; the more you shadow, the more natural your speaking will become!

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.
