Creating lesson...
1
Master Sunghoon, please don't skip a meal while you're there.
2
I hope you have a good and healthy life.
3
Study abroad?
4
Why study abroad all of a sudden?
5
I've been thinking about it for a long time.
6
I think it's best you go as soon as possible.
7
Boo.
8
I'm sad that you have to leave so suddenly, but don't forget we're true friends no matter what.
9
Best friends forever!
10
Mr. Driver!
11
Wait!
12
Can you stop the car for a second?
13
Sir, it's dangerous, so stay in the car.
14
I will...
15
Mr. Driver!
16
Honey, he has scratches and a mild concussion, but he'll be fine after a few days in the hospital.
17
Oh, that is such a relief.
18
Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've been here.
19
Huh?
20
Huh?
21
Huh?
22
Huh?
23
Huh?
24
Huh?
25
Huh?
26
Hey, kid, are you okay?
27
If it wasn't for Mr. Driver...
28
Dad, I'm not studying abroad.
29
What?
30
What are you saying?
31
Where are you, right?
32
It's thanks to my friends and Mr. Driver that I'm healthy and strong right now.
33
I don't want to leave.
34
I'm sorry.
35
When you said you weren't leaving, I didn't believe you.
36
You're really staying, right?
37
I told you I am.
38
I'm really not going away.
39
That's wrong.
40
There's a plane ticket for a flight in two weeks reserved for you.
41
What the? Who are you?
42
Why are you here?
43
Good day to you, sir.
44
I'm here because your father sent me.
45
What?
46
Due to the driver's accident, the plan has been delayed, but you will study abroad.
47
I already told him that I wasn't going!
48
That's the end of the matter!
49
Your father said that with time, you'll adjust to the change.
50
He said you cannot cancel his plans.
51
I know better than anyone if I'll adjust or not!
52
Sir!
53
Where are you going?
54
Zonghun!
55
Zonghun! Where are you going?
56
Talk to me!
57
Jadu, I really don't want to study abroad.
58
Please help me get out of this.
59
Sir?
60
I really don't want to study abroad!
61
Please help me get out of this!
62
It can't be helped.
63
There's only one way.
64
Songhun, become a delinquent!
65
Wha-what?
66
If a good kid like you suddenly becomes a punk, your father will be shocked and reconsider his decision!
67
Hey, are you sleeping? Who are you?
68
Hi.
69
I come here a lot, but I've never seen you before.
70
What grade are you in?
71
I'm in third grade.
72
Then I'm older than you.
73
I'm in sixth grade.
74
I'm Delilah.
75
By the way, do you have a girlfriend?
76
What?
77
Actually, I've had my eyes on you since the arcade.
78
I think you're cute.
79
Wha-what?
80
Wow, that's good!
81
You should totally hang out with that girl!
82
Wha-what?
83
The best way to become a delinquent is to hang out with one!
84
But she's not my type.
85
But, um, Jadu, do you think your strategy will really work?
86
Hey, the teaser has to be convincing for your dad to be scared of the actual thing.
87
Oh, okay.
88
I'll hang out with Delilah the best I can.
89
Delilah!
90
This was unexpected.
91
He stays in paradise all day and has started dating a delinquent.
92
This won't do.
93
What?
94
Master Song Hoon?
95
I have heard he depends on you a lot.
96
So please, help him get his act together so he can have a good future.
97
Song Hoon, don't worry too much.
98
We'll find Mr. Driver no matter what.
99
How could he suddenly leave without telling me?
100
Hey, cheer up.
101
Let's search the town next to ours first.
102
Hold on tight.
103
Here we go.
104
Good afternoon.
105
Good afternoon, madam.
106
Oh my.
107
You don't have to do this.
108
Wow, you're even wearing a three-piece suit.
109
Ma'am?
110
Oh, does it make you uncomfortable?
111
It's become a habit.
112
It's alright.
113
Everyone is talking about how well-mannered the new security guard is.
114
They were right.
115
That's an overstatement.
116
I don't know what to say.
117
Hey!
118
Huh?
119
What allows you to park your car?
120
You startled me.
121
What's wrong with this?
122
I park just fine.
123
What do you mean it's fine?
124
I can't even open my door.
125
Oh, uh, residents, please calm down.
126
There goes another fight.
127
The problem is that the parking lot is too cramped.
128
Ma'am, may I park your car again, moving it slightly more to the left?
129
Hmm.
130
Oh my, I'm so tired.
131
Sanghoon, go slowly.
132
Sanghoon?
133
You'll trip and fall.
134
Don't run.
135
I wonder how Master Sanghoon is doing.
136
I hope he's not skipping his meals.
137
Gar, open this door.
138
Yes, ma'am.
139
Jeez, you should have opened the door sooner.
140
My arms are hurt.
141
I'm sorry, ma'am.
142
Gar, I was in a hurry, so I left this here in the morning.
143
If you see things like this, clean it up.
144
Excuse me, ma'am.
145
Residents must take their trash outside.
146
You were just wolfing around.
147
Here.
148
Yes, all right, ma'am.
149
Mr. Driver!
150
The Love Master Sung Hoon!
151
How did you know I was here?
152
Are you out of your mind?
153
Excuse me, yeah you ma'am.
154
I don't know much, but my mom taught me to be polite to the elderly because they're old.
155
Did your mom never teach you that at all, huh?
156
Who the heck are you?
157
How dare you be so disrespectful?
158
Mr. Driver, let's go home.
159
I'm not going abroad.
160
Sir, don't go against your father's wishes.
161
But no, I'm staying here with you and my friends.
162
I'll be healthy and happy here.
163
If you don't come back home, I'll be a delinquent for the rest of my life!
164
This is my report.
165
Master Sung Hoon is hanging out at Paradise all day.
166
He is even dating a delinquent older than him.
167
On top of all that, he has found the driver at Gamsil Apartment.
168
I think the driver...
169
Ma'am?
170
Ma'am, you're trash!
171
W-what?
172
What did you just say?
173
I said, this is your trash, ma'am.
174
Huh?
175
I thought you said that the lady was trash.
176
I would never miss Jidoo.
177
Is the security guard your servant?
178
I don't know who will be my replacement, but don't mistreat them ever!
179
He'll come back as Master Sunghoon's driver.
180
W-what?
181
At this rate, even if he leaves, he'll buy a ticket back to Korea.
182
Or, he might get so messed up that he won't be able to take over the family business later.
183
This is the end of my report
184
Mr. Driver see you after school Have a good day master so Hello, sir.
185
Have a good day to miss shadow Right I'm curious about something On that day?
186
How did you find Mr. Driver?
187
Oh, that day?
188
Go ask Delilah, since she loves you so very much.
189
Hey, if you have something to say, come to my house.
190
Why make me come here?
191
Hey, stop hanging out with Songhe before I beat you up.
192
What?
193
What?
194
I'm thinking of going steady with Songun from now on.
195
But you're always annoyingly hanging around him.
196
It's very irritating.
197
Hello, ma'am.
198
What?
199
Mr. Driver?
200
Hey, did you hear what I said?
201
If words won't work, then I'll have to...
202
I have to tell Songun!
203
Can you talk?
204
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
205
I've found a suitable place for you to stay.
206
I'll give you six months.
207
Make Songhoon change his mind by then.
208
I'll need a year.
209
It'll take some time to make Master Songhoon get on the plane to study abroad.
210
Fine.
211
Just make it work.
212
you

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.
