Um, I guess it's time to go and fight the bad guys.
53
Okay, Peter, you got this, you got this.
54
What the hell are you wearing?
55
It's my shoe.
56
Where's the case?

I thought that was a closet.

This is still my room.

This room is way bigger than I can.

That's me.

I gotta go.
82
I gotta go.
83
Hey, everyone.
84
Okay, so the craziest thing just happened, right?
85
I just had a fight with Captain America and I stole his shield and I threw it at him and I...
86
He's big now.
87
I gotta go.
88
It was the most amazing thing that's ever happened.
89
Mr. Stark was like, hey, Unruz!
90
And I just sort of flipped in, and I stole Cap's shield, and I was like, hey, what's up, everybody?
91
And then, hey, just a second!
92
Coming!
93
We have thin walls here.
94
We'll clean this up before housekeeping season.
95
I should probably go to bed.
96
If I really don't want to.
97
Shhh.
98
I'm out.
99
Good morning.
100
Out late Spider-Man-ing?
101
Uh, yeah, you know, just quick order on the block.
102
Sticky Boy saves Chancellor?
103
That was the Chancellor?
104
I mean, it's not like they got a photo, so...
105
That's awesome.
106
Can I keep this?
107
You can't bail a week before nationals.

Everyone prepares pizza.
112

119
I'm sorry.
120
I'm sorry.
121
Later, Peter Ferger.
122
Peter!
123
Look, I get it.
124
Okay, it's a lot to juggle everything, and when I was a sophomore, I struggled too.
125
But we're really counting on you.
126
I know, Liz, and I'm really sorry.
127
I just can't right now.
128
I'm so slim.
129
Don't you want to go to D.C and see the White House, hang out with the whole team?
130
It'll be fun.
131
I really do.
132
I just...
133
I can't.
134
Hi.
135
Liz.
136
Come on, man.
137
Come here.
138
Where's the locksmith?
139
They called the fire department.
140
They said they've seen this before.
141
It takes like six to seven hours.
142
Oh, my God.
143
They're stuck here for life with him.
144
It'll dissolve.
145
You just have to have patience.
146
It's just the Academy Decathlon.
147
It's no big deal.
148
Hey, hey, I'll decide if it's no big deal.
149
Sounds like it's no big deal, but remember, I'm watching you. Is that Tony Stark?
150
No. Was that Thor?
151
No. I don't think Thor uses a phone.
152
Good point.
153
Whoa, what is going on?
154
Damage control.
155
They're still cleaning up from when Captain America took down the Skycraft carriers for no reason.
156
I'm pretty sure Cap was just trying to save us from tyranny.
157
Yeah, that's what they want you to think.
158
I wonder where they take it all.
159
Hi gumdrop.
160
Did it warm up at all?
161
No, no, no, it's just a water heater.
162
Yeah.
163
I can fix it.
164
Yeah.
165
It's okay.
166
Okay, honey.
167
Soon.
168
I'll be home soon.
169
Okay, baby.
170
Love you.
171
I can't
172
read...
173
What the fuck?
174
That's what I get for help.
175
Excuse me.
176
A human being needs help.
177
I hate this dude, man.
178
Yeah, sorry, Miles.
179
I'm not gonna make it.
180
Yeah, I'm just stuck.
181
Are you sure?
182
This guy's super dangerous.
183
He almost killed you last time.
184
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
185
No, I'm fine.
186
I know what I'm walking into, and I've been practicing with the suit, so I'm good.
187
Are you sure you don't need my help?
188
I can be your lookout.
189
You're a guy in the chair.
190
That's not a real thing.
191
I gotta do this by myself.
192
Good luck.
193
Yeah, you too, man.
194
I'm for your test.
195
No?
196
Thanks.
197
You got this.
198
I mean I have to take that by myself too, so...
199
See you, man.
200
Good, so it's Anshway.
201
Yes, sir.
202
Right on course.
203
Okay.
204
Great.
205
Yeah, hey, Ma.
206
Yeah, it's Harold.
207
Yeah, it's done.
208
Yeah, Tony trusted me, and I took care of it.
209
Me.
210
Yeah, Mom, me.
211
Is that so hard to believe that I could accomplish something?
212
I...
213
I'll call you back.
214
Can we speak to Mr. Stark?
215

242
Midtown's...
243
Chaos today as a salamander escaped from its tank in the biology lab and more fungus on the wrestling mats Leslie,
244
I don't know why I repeat that huh?
245
No, that's me.
246
Mm-hmm up next does the theater need new seats and can Midtown afford them?
247
Signing off no Jason back to you Bob Agents to the flag.

Uh...
275
Don't waste your money on therapy.
276
Really the trouble started with the therapist, because the therapist was always taking Tabitha's side.

So I think that kind of ended things.
278
Then it was two against one.
279
It wasn't really a fair fight at that point, you know?
280
I mean, in a relationship it needs to be two people kind of agreeing to be there together.

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.
