Wait a second.

Wait, you're not on duty this week.

That's completely natural!

Oh wow!
64
You guys are still here!
65
It's so clean and shiny!
66
I am very proud of you!
67
You came early, Teach!
68
What do you mean early?
69
It's been over 30 minutes!
70
I thought you guys would have left already!
71
There was so much dirt!
72
Okay, you did well.
73
Now go back to class.
74
No, but we can't teach.
75
The classroom is still really dirty.
76
Just look.
77
Where else are you guys going to clean?
78
You'd better go now.
79
You moron!
80
Yonsek, what on earth are you doing?
81
Pretend to fight and push me towards the desk.
82
Now hurry!
83
You don't look full!
84
Hey!
85
How could you really hit me?
86
Right over there.
87
I can't believe it.
88
How can you fight in a teacher's room?
89
Are you out of your minds?
90
Keep your arms up straight.
91
I think we can tease Chatto for a million years.
92
Hey, Doldul, I think we should help a deficient friend like Ja -Doo.
93
It's the right thing to do.
94
It's the secret of Ja -Doo's IQ.
95
Let's keep it between you and me, man.
96
Okay?
97
Okay.
98
Hey, you two over there!
99
You guys are too noisy!
100
Even if you are punished!
101
How long have you been standing there?
102
Well, I don't think that's any of your business.
103
She didn't hear a thing, did she?
104
Hey, this is a really big secret.
105
You need to keep it to yourself.
106
You see, Juju has an IQ of...
107
What?
108
What?!
109
You didn't see anything, did you?
110
No!
111
We saw nothing!
112
There were so many teachers around, we couldn't find anything in time!
113
You unsophorable fools!
114
Well, that goes to show how low your IQs are.
115
How could you possibly miss them?
116
Your IQ must be like a goldfish.
117
Whoa!
118
Oh my goodness, she is so good.
119
Minji, is there something on my face?
120
No, and I'm wondering myself why they're all staring at us.
121
Minji!
122
Oh my gosh!
123
Ji Young!
124
How are you?
125
Minji, are you in class one of the third grade?
126
Who is she?
127
Oh, you might not be familiar with her.
128
This is Ji Young, a daughter of my mom's friends.
129
She's a sixth grader.
130
By the way, is there a girl named Choi Jadu in your class?
131
You have to keep this a secret, okay?
132
Apparently she has an IQ of 79!
133
What did you say?
134
Jadu, don't worry, it's just a stupid rumor.
135
Please calm down, won't you?
136
I never was so accurate!
137
It wasn't 80 or 70, but 79!
138
That means there must be really something...
139
Wait a minute, what's that?
140
Uh, uh, Uncle Fish?
141
Ah!
142
Oh my goodness, who on earth did this?
143
Huh?
144
Oh, you're here, Jadu.
145
Where have you been?
146
Did you end up finishing your homework?
147
If there's something hard for you, don't hesitate to ask me.
148
What are friends for?
149
What?
150
She's right.
151
Friends need to help each other.
152
You can ask me any question about the science homework.
153
Don't lie to me.
154
Tell me the truth.
155
Was it you two who told the whole school about my IQ?
156
What are you talking about?
157
Why are you spreading rumors about me?
158
Do you have any proof?
159
Have any of you seen my score?
160
Ah!
161
Tommy!
162
Have you seen it?
163
The thing is, your paper was on top!
164
Oh no, what I meant to say was...
165
So you mean it's true?
166
Shadoo!
167
Time for dinner!
168
I said it's time for dinner!
169
I'll eat later, Mom.
170
Oh?
171
I roasted that delicious sausage you like.
172
I said I'd later!
173
Why do you always have to bother me, Mom?
174
W -What is wrong with you?
175
Don't talk to me like that!
176
I didn't even tell you to do your homework!
177
Wait a second, Mom!
178
Can we have a talk, please?
179
Why?
180
What is going on?
181
Let her be and come have a talk with me!
182
O -O -Okay...
183
You see, the IQ test results have come out at school and you do...
184
Who say what?
185
Orochi, my IQ is similar to yours, so why was I born a human being?
186
Yes, hello?
187
Oh, teacher, how are you?
188
It's good to hear from you.
189
What?
190
Tomorrow?
191
The thing is, I think I'm gonna need to have a talk with you about Juju's IQ.
192
Oh, I see.
193
Sure, no problem.
194
Thank you for taking the time.
195
I appreciate it.
196
I thought it better that we meet and talk.
197
So did you know that the children recently took an IQ test?
198
Uh, yes, of course.
199
I know, yes.
200
Juju's score was unexpectedly extraordinary.
201
It might be good for her if she transfers to another school.
202
Pardon?
203
To another school?
204
Excuse me, teacher.
205
Isn't it too harsh to kick her out of school, even if she is an idiot?
206
An idiot?
207
Say again?
208
Why don't you take a look yourself?
209
Oh, oh my, what's this?
210
Oh, what number is this right here?
211
179?
212
Jadu, I heard your mom came to school today.
213
Aha!
214
To all students, Choi Jadu, Class 1 of the third grade, has an IQ of 179.
215
Who on earth said it was 79?
216
What?
217
Jadu!
218
My wonderful daughter!
219
Everyone, dig in, you guys.
220
According to the results of the recent IQ test for schools, the highest IQ score came from an elementary school in Seoul.
221
This third -year student has an IQ of 179.
222
She is one of the top ten geniuses in the world today.
223
Whoa!
224
Jadu!
225
Greetings, my fellow classmates.
226
Hello, Jadu!
227
I really had no idea you were such a smarty pants!
228
I'm so happy for you!
229
Juju, are you still gonna attend our school?
230
Or are you going to someplace fancier?
231
Yes, I'll still be coming here.
232
But I'll go to the gifted center afterwards.
233
The gifted center?
234
They've been so noisy ever since this morning.
235
Ah, I forgot to tell you this.
236
My mom accidentally saw your result.
237
You have an IQ of just 99, Unhi.
238
That's pretty low for someone with a big head.
239
99!
240
All right.
241
Let's start our day with some good news.
242
Our classmate Jadu will go to the gifted center every afternoon.
243
So we won't have afternoon class with her anymore.
244
But if there's some important homework, let's help Jadu, okay?
245
Yes, ma 'am!
246
Oh, she's gone!
247
Post delivery!
248
Oh, what could this be?
249
Oh, it's from the Gifted Center.
250
Huh?
251
What?
252
What on earth is this thing?
253
An error on the IQ test?
254
Hey, Juju, tell me something.
255
Why aren't you going to the gifted center?
256
I don't really know.
257
All of a sudden, the professor told me I didn't need to come in today.
258
We've realized Ja -Doo's IQ could be wrong.
259
There may be a problem with the IQ test itself, so that's why I published this paper.
260
P .S., Ja -Doo is such a positive and bright girl.
261
A recent journal published by the Korea Education Center for the Gifted has caused a big scandal.
262
The professor who guided an elementary school student with an IQ of 179 found the student's intellectual capacity was significantly low.
263
No more TV!
264
Let's eat!
265
Mom, aren't you going to watch the news?
266
That's what you usually do.
267
Ah, forget about that.
268
But remember this, you can't judge a person by a number.
269
Wow, look at this, the perfect place for my hot pots.
270
Someone reports Doggy's Bakery!
271
Who could it have been?
272
Wouldn't it be cool to do magic at a talent show?
273
I never thought it'd be this hard!
274
You won't want to miss this magical ending, you guys!

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.
