41
That sounds nice.
42
Here you go.
43
Hey, Mom.
44
Can you get us the new PS5?
45
I mean, summer vacation is next week, and I'll have a lot of free time.
46
Uh, well, how about if you both get A's on your math final, then I'll buy it for you.
47
How does that sound?
48
Really?
49
Okay.
50
Well, you may as well buy it for us now, because I'm going to ace that test.
51
I like that confidence.
52
I got to take this.
53
How do you expect getting an A tomorrow
54
if you haven't been paying attention in class? you should at
55
least be studying with me studying is for losers besides I
56
don't do things the hard way okay what's your plan then
57
to do things the easy way check this out is this our math final I found it online
58
so now I have all the answers what that's cheating it's
59
not cheating it's called taking a shortcut I mean How else do you think people succeed in life?
60
Mikey, there are no shortcuts to success.
61
You have to do things the right way.
62
Now, come on.
63
There's no time if you just study with me.
64
Did you not hear me?
65
I have all the answers already.
66
I don't need to study, and neither do you.
67
So, I'll just give you the link, and...
68
No!
69
That's okay.
70
I'm not gonna cheat.
71
Suit yourself.
72
Hey mom, if Jayden doesn't get an A, but I do, can I still get the PS5?
73
Well, I guess so, but then Jayden wouldn't be able to play.
74
That's fine with me.
75
It means I won't have to share.
76
Okay, everyone gets one hour to complete the test, and...
77
Hey, Michael, your camera still isn't on.
78
I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson.
79
Let me try it again.
80
I don't know why it's not working.
81
Sure, I will.
82
Ugh, I'm trying to turn it on, but it won't.
83
Okay.
84
It's fine, I guess.
85
Everyone has one hour to complete the exam.
86
I'm starting it now.
87
Good luck, everyone.
88
Mikey compares the final exam to all the questions on the website and sure enough they're all the same.
89
He happily answers all the questions and then a few days later Mikey gets a big surprise.
90
Can I play?
91
No get your own iPad.
92
Mom, he's not letting me play again.
93
Mikey, you have to share the iPad with your brother.
94
But I don't want to.
95
And when are we going to get our PS5?
96
Well, did you both get A's on your final exams?
97
Well, we haven't got our report cards back, but I guarantee you I did.
98
So, can we please get the PS5?
99
Okay, I guess so.
100
What?
101
Did she really get us the PS5?
102
I can't believe it.
103
She got it.
104
I'm going to play first.
105
No, you won't.
106
Oh, my gosh.
107
You got it.
108
Yes, but nobody gets to play until I see your exams.
109
I can 100 % promise you that I...
110
I'll get it.
111
Who could that be?
112
Mr. Wilson, what are you doing here?
113
Hey, J .D.
114
May I speak with your mom for a moment?
115
Hello, come on in.
116
Thanks, I'm not disturbing anything, am I?
117
Oh, not at all.
118
Is everything okay?
119
Yes, yeah, I just came by to let you know that Jaden got a 100 % on his math final.
120
I did?
121
High score in the school.
122
Oh, I'm so proud of you.
123
What about Mikey?
124
Well, Michael also got all of his answers correct.
125
See, Mom, I told you I was gonna get an A.
126
Now I can open this.
127
Zero percent?
128
This is an F.
129
I don't get it.
130
Well, as I was saying, Michael got all of his answers correct.
131
If those answers were from this website that I created.
132
You made that?
133
Yep.
134
See, ever since we started distance learning, a lot of kids have been cheating.
135
So I put up this website, put all the questions to my final exam on it, but mixed up the answers.
136
You did?
137
I did.
138
So you see, Michael, you failed my final exam.
139
I'll be seeing you in my class again next year.
140
Mikey, how could you do such a thing?
141
I'm sorry, I thought I could take a shortcut, that's all.
142
You know better than that.
143
There are no shortcuts to success.
144
Yes, you have to do things the right way.
145
Okay, okay, just please don't yell at me.
146
Yell at you?
147
Oh, no, you are in much bigger trouble than that, young man.
148
You are grounded the entire summer.
149
What?
150
No!
151
That means no iPad, no computer, and you are not touching that PS5.
152
That is so not bad.
153
Jayden, those are for you to play with and you do not have to share.
154
Yes!
155
That's so unfair!
156
Go to your room!
157
Now!
158
Just wait till I tell your dad about this.
159
I am so, so sorry.
160
I will make sure he learns his lesson.
161
I can see that.
162
Sorry to have been the bearer of bad news.
163
Hey, Jaden.
164
Great work.
165
Thank you. Have a nice day.
166
You too.
167
I'll be upstairs talking to your brother if you need me.
168
Wait, would you mind helping me set this up first?
169
Sure.
170
You deserve it.
171

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.
