Ha ha ha!
2
Chào mừng chúng mày đến với ai?
3
Eo listening!
4
I'm not here to come back to you, David.
5
I'm here because I forgot something very important.
6
Something that will change your life forever.
7
What is it?
8
How long have you been standing out here in the rain?
9
Long enough to hear everything you said on the phone earlier.
10
So you heard all of it?
11
All those apologies that came too late?
12
Apologies aren't what I need to hear anymore.
13
These past three years, I've learned how to live without them.
14
Sen, why are you still standing here?
15
If there's really nothing left, why didn't you just turn around and walk away, like that day?
16
Because there's something I've been hiding from you for three years.
17
I thought I could carry it forever, but I can't.
18
What are you hiding from me?
19
Tell me, Emma.
20
Do you remember the letter you sent me the night before I left the city? That letter?
21
I sent it, but I never heard back from you.
22
I thought you read it and chose to stay silent, so I assumed you'd stopped loving me.
23
I never read it, David.
24
My mother kept it from me, hid it all these years because she was afraid coming back to you would only hurt me again.
25
I only found it last week while moving.
26
So that means… for three years you stayed away from me because you thought I never even tried to hold onto you?
27
I hated you because I thought you let me walk away in silence.
28
But it turns out you were hurting just as much as I was, waiting for an answer that never came.
29
I'm sorry I didn't find you sooner to get to the bottom of this.
30
But I'm glad you finally know the truth.
31
I didn't come here to get back together, David.
32
Three years is a long time.
33
We've both changed too much.
34
Then let me prove I'm still the same man I was back then.
35
Just give me one chance, Emma.
36
Not to go back to the past, but to start over today.
37
If this were yesterday, I would have said no. But tonight?
38
Standing here, hearing you say all of this?
39
I'm not sure I have the strength to say no anymore.
40
Then don't say no. Just tell me.
41
You'll give us one more chance, will you?
42
I'm not here to come back to you, David.
43
I'm here because I forgot something very important.
44
Something that will change your life forever.

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.
