79
So my husband says to me, he says, Empanada, does my eye look swollen?
80
Well, normally it's hard to tell because he has those beady eyes.
81
Mm-hmm, they show all beady.
82
He gets that from his dad's side of the family.
83
Good stuff!
84
But when I looked, he was right!
85
Stupid him.
86
His eye was the size of a uterical's foot!
87
I said to him, Red Dragon, I said, What did you do to your eyes?

Well, he must have really had something in it.
89
That's what I asked him.

93
I asked Honey, did you rub something in it?
94

95
Said he didn't?
96
Well, to make a long story short, it turns out he's allergic to the color puce!
97
Mmm, my husband became allergic too.
98
He throws up whenever he looks at me.
99
Great!
100
I thought I heard something.

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.
