Ha ha ha!
2
Chào mừng chung mày đến với ai?
3
Eo listening!
4
Long time no see, Lucy.
5
Ten years since we graduated from high school.
6
Yes, ten years.
7
You haven't changed much.
8
Still the boy who always sat in the last row of the class.
9
And you are still the girl who always sat right in front of me.
10
Do you know why I chose that seat every year?
11
Because you were lazy and wanted to sleep?
12
No. I chose it so I could watch you all day without anyone noticing.
13
What did you just say?
14
I liked you, back then.
15
A lot.
16
I spent three years writing your name in the back of my math notebook.
17
But I was too scared to tell you.
18
I thought a genius like you wouldn't like a quiet boy like me.
19
Are you serious, Harry?
20
Because I liked you too.
21
What?
22
I always wore my hair down back then.
23
Do you know why?
24
Because I didn't want you to see my ears turning red every time you talked to me.
25
I used to ask you math questions I already knew the answer to, just to hear your voice.
26
So we both spent our youth loving each other in silence?
27
It seems so.
28
We were so close, yet so far away, because of our fear.
29
If I had been braver on graduation day, would things be different now?
30
Maybe.
31
But Harry, life is not a movie.
32
I'm leaving for the airport tomorrow.
33
I'm getting married next month in England.
34
I guess some translations of the heart just come too late.
35
I'm happy for you.
36
At least now I know that my youth wasn't a one-sided story.
37
Goodbye, my secret love.
38
Goodbye.
39
Long time no see, Lucy.
40
10 years since we graduated from high school.
41
Yes, 10 years.
42

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.
