Hey friends, my name is Mary Lynn and I live in Pennsylvania.

Привет, друзья, меня зовут Мэри Линн, и я живу в Пенсильвании.

Please like and subscribe.

I was raised by a single mom who loved me to bits.

When I was very young, mom had to work really hard to put food on the table.

But she wasn't someone who gave up.

She worked her butt off and became a firefighter and I was so proud of her.

But growing up, I'd see kids have a big family and I never knew why I didn't have aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins.

Whenever I asked her, mom would say, I used to have a sister, but then she went on a trip to Mars, and I hope she stays there forever.

Well, I believed her for a while until I understood she was just kidding.

But still, I wished for a family.

But Mom made sure we were both enough.

She'd do silly dances with me while we were getting groceries.

She'd have tea parties with me and would even let me give her a makeover.

Because Mom was a total goofball, I was too.

I'd play music at the cafeteria, dance in the assembly, and whatnot.

One time I was at school and the class was just not ending.

So I took out a party horn from my pocket and blew it hard.

Who did this?

Teacher, we have no idea.

I knew no one would answer because everybody wanted that boring class to end.

But I couldn't control my giggles and she knew it was me and instantly gave me a detention.

It wasn't my first time, but seeing Axel, the hottest and most arrogant boy of the school there, made it totally worthwhile.

Hey Axel, what brings you to my kingdom?

The guy just gave me a look and rolled his eyes.

Such a diva.

Come on, tell me what happened.

Okay, fine.

Let me guess.

You started a food fight.

No, I've never seen you in the cafeteria.

Okay, you pranked some teacher?

Ah, no, no, no, you're just too much into your studies.

So you hit someone?

Ah, no, that can't be it.

That's because you're just way too sophisticated to touch someone else.

Ummm...

Oh my god, can't you just keep quiet for just a second?

I feel like my ears are bleeding.

Fine, I'll tell you, but just keep it to yourself.

I'm here cause...

What?

I'm here cause...

I can't hear you.

I'm here cause I got an F and lost

and tore the paper in the teacher's face and I was just so angry and nothing made it...

Axel seemed to be having a panic attack, and I did the only thing that I thought that would help.

I hugged him and rubbed his back.

Hey, hey, hey, breathe.

Dude, just breathe.

Slowly.

I've been in worse situations.

Okay, I'm just saying that to make you feel better, but still.

The tension is like a second home to me.

It worked, and he chuckled.

You are one crazy chick.

I've been told that before.

The next day at lunch, I was sitting with my friends, and Axel came, and everyone looked at him like he was some alien, but not me.

Yeah, you can totally sit with me.

Come on, friend.

Friend?

Um, thanks.

I like that.

After that day, Axel and my friendship only grew, and we became best friends.

Everyone thought he was a snob, but Axel was just the quiet type.

He was one in a million.

By the time I was in eighth grade, I felt like I had a crush on my best friend.

But I decided to never tell him.

When we returned to school after summer vacation, I wanted to start off the new year with something special.

So I gave Axel a chocolate bar.

Uh, geez, thanks.

And after just one bite, his face turned red.

What the heck did you put in this?

Just a lot of chili powder.

I'll get you for this.

Saying that, Axel chased after me, but someone came in front of me.

I skidded to the side and then crashed on the floor.

And then I saw Axel and a girl looking at me.

Are you okay?

Please tell me that you're alright.

Mary, you almost gave me a heart attack.

Tell me you're okay.

Yeah, I feel fine.

Axel and the girl helped me up, and then she told me that her name was Valerie, and she had just moved into the town.

And amazingly, she was with Axel and me in our class.

Pretty soon, Valerie, Axel, and I became a team.

We did everything together.

We'd study together and even go out together.

All three of us even joined the cheerleading squad together.

One time, all three of us went out for a movie.

And while Axel was in line getting us popcorn that was slower than a snail at a snail funeral, the only thing I focused on was how handsome Axel was.

Why don't you tell him how you feel?

Huh?

What?

Come on, it's all over your face.

Just tell him.

Right then I saw Axel coming and Valerie started giggling.

Um, did I miss something?

No. Mary wants to tell you something.

Something very important.

100

Yeah, I did.

101

I just totally forgot to tell you what a cute little girl you look like in that pink t-shirt.

102

Seriously, dude?

103

Um, you bought it for me.

104

So, thanks, I guess.

105

So that was it?

106

Come on, the movie's starting, let's go.

107

Gosh, I could never tell Axel that I liked him.

108

Like, in a different way.

109

When we finally had our summer vacations, Axel went to his grandma's in Florida and I missed him a lot.

110

But thank God I had Valerie now.

111

She once invited me to her home and I was literally shocked to see how big it was.

112

Whoa, Valerie, you're rich.

113

Yeah, my mom actually won the lottery before I was born.

114

Can you believe it?

115

It's so crazy.

116

Wow, lucky you.

117

Valerie's mom was so nice and I was having an amazing time with them.

118

A few days later, there was a carnival in our town.

119

And we both met there in the evening.

120

Mom was running late, so while Valerie's mom sat, we both went to the Ferris wheel ride.

121

We were having so much fun and then heard noises and looked down.

122

I was shocked to see Mom arguing with Valerie's mom.

123

Don't tell me where to live and where not to.

124

I can do whatever I want.

125

Oh yeah?

126

Like steal more things?

127

You stole from your own sister.

128

I won that lottery.

129

And you stole the ticket and just vanished.

130

And now you have the guts to show your face after all these years?

131

What the heck?

132

Valerie's mom was my mom's sister?

133

Before Valerie and I could say anything, both of our moms grabbed our hands and left.

134

I didn't get to talk to Valerie for the rest of the summer vacation.

135

But when we went back to school, I really wanted to sort things out.

136

After all, she was my cousin.

137

But the moment I said hi to her, she blew me off.

138

Stay away from me.

139

I don't ever want to talk to you.

140

Your mom calls my mom a thief.

141

OK, that really pissed me off.

142

Don't be a jerk.

143

The big house you were flaunting that day, it's all thanks to my mom.

144

The fact remains the same.

145

Your mom is a thief.

146

Hearing this, she pushed me hard and I landed in the dustbin.

147

Stay there, or I swear I'll ruin you.

148

You know what?

149

I'll tell Axel you have a crush on him.

150

No, on second thought, I'll make sure that he hates you.

151

Watch me destroy you, Mary.

152

What did she think I was?

153

A coward?

154

I jumped and grabbed her hair.

155

And before we knew it, we were both in a cat fight.

156

We were later taken to the principal's office, and both of our moms were called, and it turned into a battleground.

157

I had never seen the sight of my mom, and it just made me realize her sister hurt her bad.

158

After that day, things got tough.

159

Valerie would always pick on me, and I would always retaliate.

160

It seemed she was a totally different person.

161

One time we were in art class, and I was minding my own business, when Valerie came and started telling me how bad my painting was, like I ever needed her approval.

162

I was so done with her, so I pushed her, just a little.

163

But the girl landed on her painting, knocking out all of the paints from the table in a really dramatic way.

164

And then she literally started screaming like a banshee.

165

Ouch, my foot!

166

Mary, why would you do that?

167

I told you I'm sorry for everything, and still...

168

OMG, what a liar!

169

The teacher and all the kids in the class gathered around us, and Valerie kept on with her fake crying.

170

Shut up, Valerie, or else I'll...

171

Stop it, you two.

172

Mary, what has gotten into you?

173

I couldn't believe Axel was on her side.

174

I told him she was faking it, but Valerie cried harder, and Axel looked so concerned about her.

175

Ignoring me, he picked up Valerie, took her out of the class, while I was sent to the principal's office.

176

And I got detention.

177

When it was time to go home, Axel came to see me and kept telling me how I had hurt Valerie.

178

I wished he wasn't that blind.

179

For God's sake, she's faking it.

180

Axel, you have to choose.

181

It's either me or Valerie.

182

Mary, you're both my friends.

183

I just can't choose.

184

Whoa.

185

Oh, I see.

186

Well, fine.

187

I couldn't believe this.

188

I pushed him out of the way and ran home.

189

That was It was the worst day of my life!

190

Axel tried to talk to me at school.

191

He called me and texted me so many times.

192

He even visited me at home, but I didn't want to see him because I was just so angry.

193

I even stopped talking to my friends and would eat lunch in the classroom, alone.

194

I just couldn't see Valerie and Axel sitting together and the way she gave me those wicked smirks.

195

I hated her so much, but I channeled all of my attention into my studies, and sometimes Even the teachers would ask me to crack a joke or something,

196

saying they missed the goofy old Mary.

197

But that Mary?

198

Well, she was gone.

199

After ninth grade, I switched schools and cut off all ties with my friends from there.

200

I wanted to start new, and I was going to do well in my new school.

201

I got into competitive cheerleading, and one time in high school, we had a competition, and after the first routine, I spotted Axel backstage.

202

The moment our eyes met, I tripped and scraped my knee.

203

At once, Axel came running to me and helped me out, and then he brought out a bandage to put it on the little scrape.

204

He still cared for me, like he used to.

205

He had just gotten even more handsome.

206

Um, it's good now.

207

You'll survive the next round.

208

So, um, how have you been?

209

Without even answering, I got up to leave, but he held my hand.

210

Aw, Mary, I've missed you so much.

211

I am so sorry.

212

I tried contacting you, but you shut me out.

213

I had been meaning to tell you how I felt, then everything got crazy, but just hear me out, please.

214

Gosh, I had missed him too, like crazy in these two years.

215

But when I was about to say something, I heard an ugly voice.

216

Come on, Axel.

217

It's our routine.

218

Oh, a blast from the past.

219

Hmm.

220

I see you're still a clumsy little thing.

221

Oh, I see that you're still a little witch.

222

I was determined to win the competition because I knew what it meant to Valerie.

223

So I put my all into these routines.

224

When Valerie's team performed, their performance was all glitz and glamour with fireworks at the end. So extra.

225

When we were all called onto the stage for the results, it turned out Valerie and my team had a tie.

226

And we had to share the trophy.

227

No way.

228

This trophy is mine.

229

Not on my watch.

230

Just then, I let go of the trophy and Valerie went crashing backwards.

231

She totally deserved it.

232

All of a sudden, there was smoke and someone screamed fire.

233

Turned out the stupid fireworks Valerie and her team did at the end of the routine caused a fire.

234

It was panic and chaos all over.

235

The entire hall had been emptied, but while running to the exit, I realized Valerie was still there, where she had fallen.

236

I just couldn't leave her.

237

Valerie, where are you?

238

Mary, I'm here.

239

I'm stuck.

240

Just when I moved forward to look for her, someone grabbed me and dragged me out of the hall.

241

It was Axel.

242

Oh my god, Valerie's still in there.

243

Someone's gotta help her!

244

Axel, we've got to go back in there!

245

Oh no!

246

Valerie!

247

Someone, please get my baby out of there!

248

Please!

249

The fire was blazing and I felt my heart sink.

250

But then Mom came to my aunt.

251

Don't worry, I'll get her.

252

Don't you dare lose hope.

253

Everyone, stay back.

254

Mom went inside and each minute felt like a thousand years.

255

I was so worried.

256

Seeing my aunt cry, I went and sat by her side and she instantly hugged me.

257

I'm so sorry, honey.

258

I'm so sorry for everything.

259

I hurt your mom.

260

Because of what I did, your and Valerie's friendship suffered.

261

I'm so sorry for everything.

262

I just hope my Valerie will be alright.

263

At that moment, I regretted each and every mean word I'd ever said to Valerie.

264

All the drama, all the fights.

265

None of that mattered right now.

266

The only thing that mattered was family.

267

And just then, I saw mom coming out of the hall.

268

She was carrying Valerie in her arms.

269

Thank God they were both safe!

270

All of a sudden, there were cheers and happy tears and we all hugged.

271

Me, Mom, Valerie and my aunt, we all hugged like there was no tomorrow.

272

After we were given first aid, Axel and I sat on a bench and watched as Mom and my aunt patched things up and were all in tears.

273

After my aunt thanked and apologized so much, it seemed Mom was willing to give her another chance.

274

You gotta admit, you have one really dramatic family.

275

Says the boy who blew his own fuse getting an F.

276

Yep, I still remember that.

277

By the way, what were you saying earlier?

278

Something you wanted to tell me?

279

Oh, that.

280

That was nothing.

281

I mean, it was something.

282

Like, you know.

283

Oh my gosh!

284

Mary, Axel likes you.

285

A lot.

286

And Mary likes you too.

287

Sorry guys, I had to.

288

You guys would have taken forever!

289

I just shook my head and laughed, and then looked into Axel's eyes.

290

We kissed for the first time and it was perfect.

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.
