Creating lesson...
1
I'm so bored today.
2
Do you have any interesting stories or news to tell me?
3
Well, I don't have funny news, but I have a very famous and emotional story from Korea.
4
The title is Queen of Tears.
5
Do you want to hear it?
6
Queen of Tears?
7
That sounds sad, but interesting.
8
Yes, please tell me.
9
Okay, this story is beautiful, but it hurts.
10
It's about a married couple, Ben and Hannah.
11
They didn't break up because they stopped loving each other.
12
It hurts because they used to love each other deeply, but after three years of marriage, their love was destroyed by silence, pride, and words they never said out loud.
13
Wait, why?
14
Did they marry for money?
15
No, not at all.
16
At first, Ben loved Hannah sincerely.
17
He was just a normal guy from a small village, a law student.
18
He didn't marry her for her wealth or her family's huge company, the Queen's Group.
19
But after the wedding, Ben felt suffocated.
20
He lived in a giant mansion, but it never felt like home.
21
In the family meetings, everyone only talked about power and money.
22
He always had to control his feelings and look at their faces just to survive.
23
That sounds so lonely.
24
Didn't Hannah protect him?
25
Hannah loved him, but she grew up in a cold family where people only cared about success.
26
She didn't know how to show love gently.
27
They lived in the same house, but slept in separate rooms.
28
They talked like colleagues, not husband and wife.
29
Hannah used cold words and Ben was always walking on eggshells.
30
They argued, but it only made the gap wider.
31
Ben became so stressed and exhausted that he wanted a divorce just to breathe.
32
Oh no, but Hannah must have been lonely too, right?
33
Yes, she was.
34
When she needed him, she didn't know how to say, I need you.
35
She chose to be proud and suffer alone.
36
But the biggest crack in their marriage started when they lost their baby.
37
They lost a baby?
38
Yes, they had prepared a beautiful room for the baby.
39
When the baby died, Ben was broken.
40
He moved into that empty room to stay with the memories.
41
Hannah was broken too, but she chose to clear the room to clear the pain.
42
Ben didn't understand this.
43
He thought Hannah didn't care about their child and that he was the only one hurting.
44
They turned their backs on each other.
45
That is so tragic.
46
They both suffered from the same pain, but they thought the other person didn't care.
47
Did they actually divorce?
48
Ben was about to give her the divorce papers, but suddenly Hannah discovered she had a serious brain tumor tumor.
49
She started losing her memory and her physical control.
50
She was terrified of dying, but she was more terrified that Ben would feel relieved if she disappeared.
51
Did Ben leave her?
52
No. When Ben saw her getting weaker, he realized his love never disappeared.
53
It was just buried under years of pain.
54
He felt deeply sorry because he wanted to leave her when she needed him most.
55
They both regretted their coldness in the past.
56
Ben took her everywhere to find a cure.
57
He became the husband she always needed.
58
Hannah also changed.
59
She allowed herself to be weak and admitted she needed him.
60
I'm glad they found their love again.
61
So, did the treatment work?
62
This is the most cruel part of the story.
63
The only way to save her life was a surgery, but the surgery could erase all her memories.
64
No way!
65
She would forget everything?
66
Yes, she would forget Ben, their love, and their lost baby.
67
Before the surgery, Hannah wrote down notes about Ben, begging her future self never to forget this man.
68
But after the surgery, the tragedy happened.
69
Hannah woke up, and her eyes were completely blank.
70
Ben saved her life, but he lost her, her memory of their love.
71
Oh my god, Tom!
72
Ben remembered everything, but he was a total stranger to her.
73
Yes, that was the end of the first part.
74
The story after that is even better and more dramatic.
75
But I've been talking for so long and my throat is so dry.
76
If you want to hear the rest of the story, you should order me another drink.
77
Then I will tell you everything.
78
Alright, alright.
79
Just sit here and wait for me.
80
I will go and buy it for you right now.
81
Don't go anywhere.
82
Deal.
83
Take your time.
84
I'm not going anywhere.

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.
