Oh my god, you are unbelievable.

You know what, I don't think I want to be in this carriage anymore.

I can still hear that guy from here.
38
How far back do I need to go to not hear that stupid person?
39
You know what?

And uh, let's do this and this and this and this and this.

Okay?

Really?

Here, let me play you a song.

What song?

Oh my God, no, you too.

Please, just stop playing that stupid music.

Oh, you want the music to be louder?
56
When did I say that I want the music to be louder?
57
I want the music to be quieter.
58
Louder.
59
All right, I'll turn the music brighter.
60
No!
61
No!
62
God, I may as well lock myself in the barframe at this point.
63
Okay, you know what?
64
There's one place in the train which is not smelly like the barframe
65
and which will not have any passengers playing that stupid music.
66
And that's inside the driver's cab.
67
Okay.
68
Okay, here I'll finally be able to escape that stupid music.
69
Oh, is the driver gonna make an announcement?
70
Attention passengers, uh...
71
Look, I'm sorry that we have to make this announcement, Bert.
72
I have received complaints of Lao's passengers on this train.
73
I know, but...
74
And I am frankly appalled by the behaviour of these passengers on this train.
75
You should be.
76
I'm appalled that they didn't tell me to play the music.
77
Because I'm the train driver, I can play the music across the entire train.
78
So that's what I'm gonna do. Where?
79
Oh my God!
80
He telling me the driver's playing the music too?
81
I'm not gonna have any brain cells by the time we reach Lantern, I swear to God.
82
Hello guys, welcome to Rubik's Hue trainsbossing.
83
We're here at Elayton Buzzard to strain spot this class free 7-7.
84
Going to East Croy then guys.
85
Now this class free 7-7.
86
Okay guys, this is the worst class 377 ever.
87
And that brings me to my life story on how- Oh my god.
88
Oh my god.
89
Nah, I can't do this, I can't do this, I can't do this.
90
I can't do this.
91
I'm getting off for the next station.
92
I've had enough of this.
93
I really don't know how your ears have obliterated themselves, yeah?
94
Because of that stupid music.
95
Thank you.
96
Oh my god.
97
Hey, train driver.
98
Train driver, I want to have a little word with you.
99
Oi.
100
Oi!
101
Your music sucks.
102
You love the music?
103
No, I said your music sucks.
104
Okay, I'll make sure to play the music everywhere else.
105
What now?
106
I said your music sucks.
107
Stop playing the music.
108
I'll play the music more, okay?
109
Thanks.
110
Oh...
111
Stupid train driver.
112
Oh my God, I swear nobody has a brain today.
113
Crazy, man!
114
All righty, so when's the next train?
115
Oh, in three minutes.
116
Great.
117
Attention, passengers.
118
A train driver has just told me about the best song ever
119
so I'm gonna play it across all the train stations on the West Coast May Line, including this train station.
120
I hope you enjoy.
121
What the hell?
122
No more, not this station too, okay?
123
Every person is clearly against me, so I need to somehow find a train which doesn't have any people on there.
124
That's gonna be the only way I can reach Landon, whilst avoiding this obnoxious, stupid song.
125
Wait, that's a cargo train.
126
I've got the best idea ever.
127
Bah!
128
Okay, hi.
129
Oh, screw you, passengers.
130
Screw you, train stations.
131
I don't need you.
132
There's gonna be absolutely no one playing that stupid music on this train.
133
I finally won!
134
Ha!
135
Figured I'd change characters because...
136
Why not, Yeme?
137
Are they playing this music at every single station?
138
Imagine having to endure that music.
139
Couldn't be me. And this one too!
140
Ugh!
141
Okay, I think we'll approach another station, so I need to close my ears again.
142
But look, as long as we make it to London, then it's all gonna be okay.
143
Oh wow, oh come on.
144
What the f*?
145
This is exactly why I hate Mondays.
146
Is the music that irritating that even the train couldn't handle it anymore?
147
Oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
148
All right, I'll sit.
149
I'm taking the bus to work.

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.
