1
Hi guys, I'm Emily and I'm going to tell you about the shocking secret that my family hid from me for years.
2
You won't ever guess what it was.
3
Let me take you back to five years ago.
4
I'm an only child and I live with my mom and dad.
5
Dad is a manager for a chain of home improvement stores and he is always changing what store he manages, so we move around the country a lot.
6
It's kind of difficult to make and keep friends when you are only in one town for a year or sometimes less.
7
It's getting even more difficult now that I'm 15.
8
I never complained when we moved when I was younger.
9
It always seemed like a big adventure.
10
That was until I met Brad.
11
I met him on my first day at the school I'm in at the moment, and I was obsessed with him straight away.
12
He is so gorgeous and popular.
13
I never thought that he would be interested in me, but he was.
14
We started going out and he even bought me a ring as a present.
15
He is so romantic.
16
But then it all went wrong.
17
That night over dinner was when dad told me that we were going to be moving again.
18
We would only be in this town for one more week before we would have to move over a hundred miles away.
19
It was so far away I wouldn't be able to see Brad anymore.
20
I couldn't take it.
21
It was heartbreaking.
22
I had finally found somewhere where I really liked to live.
23
And I was going to have to move?
24
Nope.
25
I was dead set against it.
26
I told dad and mom that I was staying and that they were going to have to move without me.
27
I wasn't expecting dad to react the way he did.
28
He didn't get angry.
29
He just told me that I had no choice and I had to do what he said.
30
It was so mean, but I had had enough.
31
I picked up my plate and threw it at him.
32
I'm usually calm, but I was just so angry I couldn't help it.
33
I had been holding on to my anger for so long, not just because of the constant moving, but because of a lot of things.
34
My family just never make an effort to understand and listen to me.
35
Dad ducked and it missed him, but it hit the wall of our apartment with such force that it smashed.
36
Then I picked up other plates and threw them too.
37
I just couldn't stop.
38
I was screaming at him too.
39
Mom started crying and told me that I had to calm down as I would scare the neighbors.
40
Well, I was too angry to listen.
41
She got a brush and dustpan and started to clear up the glass, but she was in such a state that she cut her hand on a piece of broken glass.
42
There was blood everywhere.
43
I was so upset.
44
I never meant for my mom to hurt herself.
45
Then I saw something outside.
46
Flashing blue lights.
47
It was the police.
48
I couldn't believe that someone had called them.
49
I was so scared.
50
Dad answered the door to them and let two policemen in.
51
Then I got really upset.
52
Even though my parents feel like strangers to me, I would never want to hurt them.
53
I talked to the police and apologized and told them that it was all my fault and I was so sorry, and I would never act like that again.
54
The police accepted my reasoning and decided to leave us.
55
But on the way out, he paused and said he just needed to fill in some paperwork before he went.
56
My dad said it was completely understandable.
57
All he wanted to know was our names.
58
Then what happened next really shocked me.
59
My dad told the police some fake names and not just for him, but for my mom and me too.
60
I was so shocked I didn't say anything back.
61
When the police were gone, I stood there in a shocked silence.
62
There was food all over the walls from where I had thrown things around, and mom was quietly crying.
63
I expected my dad to turn around and shout at me, and to tell me why he had lied to the police, but he didn't.
64
He just turned around calmly and told me to go and pack my bags.
65
We were moving that night.
66
I opened my mouth to ask him what was happening, but he raised his hand up to his mouth and shushed me.
67
I had no choice.
68
I ran up to my room in tears.
69
What was going on?
70
I Skyped Brad and was crying so much that I don't think he really understood what was happening, even when I tried to explain it to him.
71
Then dad came in and took my phone off of me and told me to hurry up.
72
I couldn't believe how unreasonable he was being.
73
Two hours later, we were driving in the dark to the new town where dad was going to be working.
74
We sat in silence for the journey.
75
I couldn't believe what was happening.
76
Why had dad given fake names to the police?
77
And why were we having to move in such a rush?
78
When we got to the town, I found out we were staying in a really run-down motel, as our new apartment wasn't ready yet.
79
When we got there, I stormed off and told my parents I was going for a walk.
80
I didn't want to talk to them.
81
I wandered aimlessly around the streets.
82
I called Brad up and calmly told him what had happened.
83
He listened and believed my crazy story.
84
He kept trying to guess why my parents had lied about who they were.
85
He thought that they were criminals and that is why they lied.
86
It did seem likely.
87
All of this moving around the country and lying to the police?
88
I wanted to run away and go and be with Brad, but I had no money.
89
Then he had an idea.
90
He suggested I speak to the police myself.
91
I didn't want to do it over the phone, so I went to a police station.
92
I was really nervous.
93
The man at the desk thought I was lying at first.
94
I could tell he didn't believe what I was saying.
95
He still wrote it all down but was reluctant to do so.
96
I just begged him to believe me
97
and to pass it on to the police officers who had been to my old apartment earlier that night.
98
When I left, I still wasn't sure if he believed me or not.
99
When I got back to the motel, dad was sitting outside and he was livid.
100
He was so angry that I was out by myself at night.
101
He sent me to my room and I didn't even argue.
102
Then I realized I had a text from Brad.
103
I opened it.
104
It was a photo from a news article from five years ago.
105
It showed a grainy CCTV photo of a man robbing a grocery store.
106
He looked kind of like my dad.
107
Maybe my dad was a thief on the run.
108
That would explain so much.
109
The next week was really weird.
110
We moved into our new apartment and mom and dad made a massive effort to get me to like it.
111
They let me paint my room and buy new furniture.
112
Mom even gave me money to go clothes shopping.
113
I really missed Brad though and had decided that as soon as I was 18, I was going to move and be with him.
114
My new school was okay.
115
I was so used to starting at a new school that it didn't really matter to me anymore.
116
Then a couple of weeks later, something really strange happened.
117
I was called into the principal's office.
118
Now I keep my head down at school.
119
I have enough going on in my life.
120
Getting into trouble at school is the last thing I need.
121
So I was worried.
122
Was there something wrong with mom or dad?
123
But when I got there, it was not what I was expecting.
124
Inside were the two police officers who had been to our old apartment the previous week.
125
It must be something pretty serious for them to have traveled this far.
126
They sat me down and told me
127
that they had got the message from me that my dad had given them false names.
128
They had proceeded to investigate what had happened and needed to talk to me about it.
129
They asked me what my parents' names were, and I told them their real ones.
130
Then they showed me a black and white photograph of my parents that was years old, probably around the time I was a baby.
131
He asked me if the people in the picture were my parents, and I said yes.
132
Then they told me that they had some news.
133
My parents had given false names, as they were wanted by the police.
134
I told them that I already knew, and explained how Brad had found the picture of my dad robbing a grocery store.
135
The policeman frowned.
136
He said that wasn't why he was here, and that case had already been solved and that my dad was wanted for something far more serious.
137
Kidnapping.
138
He told me that almost 16 years ago, two girls were born at the same hospital on the same day and had the same surname.
139
Somehow the hospital had managed to get the babies confused and the parents ended up taking the wrong babies home.
140
Neither family knew anything was wrong until the girls were five.
141
One of the girls ended up in hospital ill and had their blood taken.
142
That was when it was worked out that the girl wasn't related to her parents.
143
The police got involved and traced down the other family
144
and told them that the girl they were raising wasn't biologically theirs
145
and they needed to meet the girl's real parents and decide how to proceed.
146
But those parents panicked, ran away, and had been on the run ever since.
147
He said the girl with the parents who ran away was me.
148
He said my parents weren't my real parents.
149
I stood up.
150
This was some kind of sick joke.
151
He was lying.
152
My mom and dad were my mom and dad.
153
I shouted at the policeman and called him a liar.
154
He tried to get me to sit back down, but I didn't listen.
155
I ran out of school and headed back to my apartment.
156
By the time I got home, I was exhausted.
157
Dad was there, and he was so worried about me.
158
He asked me what was wrong, and after I managed to get my breath back, I told him.
159
I expected him to get angry or laugh, but he didn't say anything.
160
He didn't look surprised, just sad.
161
He walked off, and when he came back he had an envelope that he took a piece of paper out of.
162
It was a newspaper article from 10 years ago where a couple were pleading for my parents to come forward
163
so they could meet their biological daughter.
164
I looked at the picture.
165
The couple looked just like me, way more than my real parents.
166
Then my dad said it.
167
He wasn't my biological dad.
168
I was in shock.
169
My dad begged for forgiveness and told me that he
170
and mom just loved me so much
171
that they couldn't bear to let me meet my real parents in case they wanted me back
172
and I never saw them again.
173
But I was angry.
174
How had they lied to me for all these years?
175
And why had they made my childhood so miserable by moving me around all the time?
176
I told the police I didn't want to be with these people anymore, so they moved me into a foster home which was nearer to where Brad lived.
177
At first, I was pleased to be away from the people who claimed to be my parents.
178
I didn't want to see them again, but living in a foster home was horrible.
179
I only had a couple of drawers for all my belongings, and it was so loud with shouting and arguments at all hours.
180
At least I could see more of Brad, and I had a social worker who looked after me.
181
My social worker told me that my real parents had been contacted and would like to meet me.
182
I jumped at the chance.
183
The next week I caught a train to a different town and went and met my birth parents in a coffee shop.
184
It was so uncomfortable at first.
185
None of us knew what to say, but after a while it got easier.
186
I looked so much like the dad, and I sounded so similar to the mom.
187
It was so weird.
188
We spoke about our lives, and they told me how they had spent years trying to find me.
189
Then I got to meet Ashley, the baby who I was accidentally swapped with, who was almost 16, like me.
190
It was so weird.
191
She looked a lot like my parents.
192
I suppose she is biologically theirs.
193
Going back to my foster home, I had so much to think about.
194
I couldn't get my head around it all.
195
Me and Ashley messaged each other a lot.
196
She was the only person who really understood how I felt.
197
That was five years ago, and now I live with Brad in our own apartment.
198
I'm in touch with my birth parents and the parents who raised me, who I still call mom and dad.
199
I have finally forgiven them for lying to me for all of these years.
200
I understand that they were just frightened of losing me.
201
I bet you didn't guess that was going to be my family's secret, did you?
202
Does your family have any big secrets?

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
