1
Hi, I'm Tulip, and I live with my mom and twin sister Jasmine.
2
But before I continue, please like and subscribe.
3
My dad has always worked abroad, so growing up, we would only see him once every two years.
4
If cameras hadn't been invented, I would have forgotten what he looks like.
5
Growing up, I was a really naughty kid, but Jasmine was my mom's dream child.
6
She'd always have perfect grades and perfect manners, and mom just adored her.
7
But she found fault with everything I did and kept comparing me to stupid Jasmine.
8
Like once in fifth grade, our mean old English teacher walked in and hit the desk loudly with her stick.
9
Quiet!
10
Take out your notebooks and start writing a letter to your mom.
11
But I just put my legs on the desk and replied, Miss, why would I write a letter to my mom when I already live with her?
12
And then I burped loudly.
13
The whole class burst out laughing.
14
And of course, the teacher wasn't amused.
15
I was immediately sent to the principal, and Mom was called in.
16
Even a gorilla has better manners.
17
Please, teach her to act like a lady.
18
As we left school, Jasmine smirked at me while Mom screamed.
19
Tulip, is this what I've taught you?
20
Were you born to embarrass me?
21
Why can't you be more like Jasmine?
22
Oh, Mom, I respect you so much.
23
And just look at her.
24
She's just shameless.
25
I feel sorry for a great woman like you.
26
I'm talking to you, Tulip.
27
And then I was grounded for a week.
28
I didn't have good grades, but I had an amazing eye for fashion.
29
And I could make dresses for myself out of anything.
30
Once at Halloween, I made myself a beautiful costume.
31
And even Mom looked impressed.
32
But then suddenly, her expression changed.
33
Where have I seen this cloth before?
34
Wait, oh my god.
35
Tulip, did you use my favorite gown?
36
Yes, Mom.
37
Sadly, your gown had to die for my new costume.
38
She started screaming at me, and I just ran away.
39
I didn't really change much until high school.
40
One Sunday, we received a letter from Dad, and Mom looked super excited.
41
Jasmine and I started snatching it from each other because we both wanted to read it first, and it got torn to pieces.
42
Mom scolded us a lot.
43
She glued it back and then read it out loud.
44
I am not coming back.
45
I found my true love.
46
Please don't wait for me.
47
Wait, what?
48
Jasmine and I stared at each other as mom turned paper white.
49
She felt dizzy and pressed straight to the floor, hitting her head.
50
We called an ambulance and took her to the hospital immediately.
51
She was conscious soon, but then we had the most shocking news.
52
It turned out that her brain had suffered an injury.
53
And now she had the mind of a five-year-old.
54
Mom was now practically a baby.
55
She was acting really fussy.
56
So the next day, we took her to a restaurant to cheer her up.
57
When the waitress said we'd get our food in 20 minutes, Mom looked furious.
58
She started banging her spoon on the table and shouting, I want food now.
59
I want now.
60
Now, now, now.
61
I tried to calm her as everyone stared at us.
62
But then suddenly, Jasmine rose from her seat and shouted at her.
63
Just shut up, you crazy woman.
64
God, this is so embarrassing.
65
I'm out of here.
66
I was stunned.
67
She stormed off, and as Mom's eyes filled with tears, I quickly hugged her.
68
Mom, our food is almost here.
69
You just have to count to ten.
70
Come on, count with me.
71
One, two, three.
72
And by the time we got to ten, thankfully our food arrived.
73
I realized then how serious Mom's condition was, and I just had to grow up and take care of her the best I could.
74
Jasmine took no interest in Mom, but I would drop her at her neighbor's when I went to school and pick her up on my way back.
75
I started searching for stuff about mom's illness on the internet, and the only possible cure was a head surgery that was super expensive.
76
I vowed that I would work really hard so I could afford it for mom one day.
77
I started focusing on my studies, and within weeks, my grades were the highest in class, and all my teachers were praising me.
78
This clearly made Jasmine jealous, because soon after I found her in the cafeteria with My biggest rival, Eva.
79
She'd always hated me because kids liked me for my jokes and pranks, while no one liked her much.
80
She was just a mean jerk.
81
And now, Jasmine and Eva were chatting away like they were best friends?
82
My enemy list was updated.
83
One day at the cafeteria, I noticed that I'd forgotten to bring my wallet and wouldn't be able to buy lunch.
84
But just then, I heard Mom behind me.
85
Tulip!
86
Tulip!
87
I got you money!
88
No more rats in your tummy.
89
She was running towards me, waving my wallet, when suddenly she slipped and fell on the floor.
90
I rushed to her to make sure she was okay, but I heard people around me laughing,
91
and the loudest was Eva. Is that your mom?
92
She looks like an idiot.
93
Please hire a nanny for your stupid baby mom.
94
Hearing that, mom burst into tears, and I snapped.
95
I pounced at Eva and pinned her down to the floor, twisting her arm behind her.
96
Say you're sorry to her.
97
Say sorry now or I'll really make you regret it.
98
Ow, okay, okay.
99
I'm sorry, Tulips, mom.
100
I'm very sorry.
101
I left her and ran to mom who was still crying.
102
Mom, you're not supposed to follow me to school, okay?
103
You have to wait for me.
104
Come now, let's go home.
105
As I took her hand and let her out, I stopped by Jasmine and gave her a kick that made howl with me.
106
That's for being the worst daughter on the planet and being friends with people like Eva.
107
Shame on you.
108
And I left with mom.
109
A few days later in school, I saw a poster on the bulletin board about a fashion competition where each contestant had to design one gown.
110
The winner would get a chance to do an internship at a big designer company.
111
I immediately signed up for it.
112
But just then, Eva pushed me aside and signed up too.
113
Ugh, get lost, loser.
114
Why would someone like you know about fashion.
115
This competition is meant for beautiful girls, like me.
116
I really enjoyed beating your butt that day, Eva.
117
And I'll make sure you're crying at the end of the competition, too.
118
I just walked away before she could reply.
119
I'd show her.
120
A couple of days later, as I was leaving school, I saw Jasmine and Eva from a distance.
121
And they seemed to be having a huge fight.
122
I just ignored them and went home.
123
But later that evening, there was a knock on my door, And Jasmine walked in, looking embarrassed.
124
What do you want?
125
Listen, I know you're really mad at me.
126
I haven't handled Mom's situation well, and I was a coward for not standing up for her.
127
But today, Eva made fun of her again, and I just lost it.
128
I slapped her so hard, I don't think she'll ever mess with me again.
129
Well, I'm just glad you've finally come to your senses.
130
She's a mean, jealous brat.
131
She could never be a good friend to anyone.
132
I got up and hugged her.
133
And when Jasmine saw I was working on my sample for the competition, she offered to help.
134
I told her I wanted to make a really unique design that would help me win the competition.
135
And she seemed super excited by my idea.
136
We worked really hard on it day and night, and I was happy with the result.
137
At the competition, everybody presented their designs one by one.
138
But when Eva's turn came before mine, I saw that her sample looked exactly like the one I'd prepared with Jasmine.
139
The two looked at me and gave me devilish smiles.
140
Okay, so my sister was a poisonous snake who'd pretended to fight with Eva, and then stole my design and gave it to her.
141
I climbed onto the stage with a defeated face, and just then, I took the cloth off my mannequin, and Eva's and Jasmine's jaws dropped.
142
It wasn't the one I'd prepared with Jasmine, because I knew exactly what she was up to.
143
My real sample was far more beautiful, and the judges looked really impressed.
144
And when the results were announced, I was declared the winner.
145
I was given some prize money and the internship.
146
Oh, you look so happy, Tulip.
147
Like you're some big designer now.
148
You're just a big fool.
149
An internship isn't going to get you anywhere.
150
The fashion business needs money.
151
I have a filthy rich mom.
152
And what does your mom have?
153
Forgetting money.
154
She doesn't even have a brain.
155
Something really stinks, Eva.
156
And I think it's you.
157
I smell a really sore loser.
158
Just then I saw mom standing in a corner, clapping really hard.
159
I pushed Eva aside and ran to her.
160
Mom, how did you get here?
161
I told you not to leave home without me.
162
I...
163
I wanted to see your shop.
164
I wanted to buy one dress from you.
165
See?
166
I have one dollar.
167
There's no shop, sweetie.
168
But you can have this dress for free.
169
You'll look like a princess in it.
170
Come, we'll go home and try it on.
171
Later that evening, I found Jasmine taking out some cash from Mom's drawers.
172
But the minute she saw me, she stuffed it into her pocket.
173
And I tried to take it away.
174
What are you doing?
175
Give that back.
176
Ugh, you're such a...
177
Such a what?
178
A witch?
179
Do I look like a witch?
180
I might look like a witch, but I'm not one.
181
Let me go.
182
And she pushed me away really hard.
183
I am going to go live with Eva.
184
She's rich and has a great business plan.
185
Within a month, my money will be doubled.
186
And I will rule the fashion world.
187
A crazy dumb mom and an ugly sister won't get me anywhere.
188
So you're taking $500 from here, and after one month, you'll rule the fashion world?
189
Take it and just go away.
190
You're such a selfish moron.
191
I pushed her aside really hard and stormed off.
192
A few minutes later, I saw her leaving with her suitcases.
193
Good riddance.
194
My internship started after a week, and it was a great experience.
195
But I realized Eva was right about one thing.
196
Starting your own business isn't easy for people with no money.
197
Then I got an idea.
198
I bought a few used clothes and transformed them into beautiful pieces.
199
I took pictures of them and went back with my portfolio to the bank for a loan.
200
But the loan officer took one look at my folder and tossed it aside.
201
Sorry, ma'am.
202
We can't just give you a loan on the basis of this trash you're showing us.
203
If your startup idea fails, you won't be able to return our money.
204
But sir, just give me a chance.
205
I'm sure I'm not gonna fail.
206
Yeah, that's what every loser who comes in here says.
207
Please, don't waste our time, ma'am.
208
Good day.
209
And they literally pushed me out of the bank.
210
I was walking back home feeling completely defeated defeated, when suddenly, a fancy car stopped by me, and someone rolled down a window.
211
I saw it was one of the competition judges.
212
Well, hello.
213
Tulip, right?
214
Yes, you were the winner, but honey, why do you look so upset?
215
She asked me to get into the car, and I told her everything on the way.
216
As she flicked through my designs, she looked really impressed.
217
Those bank people are idiots.
218
You're clearly really talented.
219
And then, to my shock, she offered me a job at her company for a really good salary.
220
And of course, I instantly accepted.
221
I worked for her for the next few years, and I even got my fashion degree by studying on the side.
222
After graduation, I had enough experience and savings to start my own little business.
223
And over the years, it grew more and more.
224
One day, I had to interview a candidate for the post of a manager.
225
She was waiting for me in my office, and when I walked in with my secretary, I was shocked to see the candidate was Eva!
226
Tulip, you're here for an interview?
227
Well I told you starting a fashion business isn't for you, but you just wouldn't listen to me.
228
Just then, my secretary spoke up.
229
Miss Tulip is the owner of the company.
230
She will be taking your interview.
231
And Eva's eyes nearly fell out of her head tulip.
232
This lady informed me that her fashion company failed miserably, but it means that she does have some experience in the field.
233
She might be a good candidate.
234
This interview ends now.
235
I know Miss Eva really well, and I wouldn't hire her to even pick up my garbage.
236
I only want good people on my team, and you, Eva, just don't belong here.
237
Now please, get lost.
238
And Eva burst into tears and went out running.
239
She deserved it.
240
A few Two days later, Mom's surgery was scheduled and we were flying to New York for it.
241
Just as I was taking the luggage out, I saw someone hugging Mom.
242
It was freaking Jasmine!
243
Oh my god, Mom!
244
I missed you so much!
245
And you too, Tulip!
246
I went by your office and they told me you were taking time off for Mom's surgery.
247
Is it true?
248
She'll be fixed now?
249
We'll have our amazing Mom back!
250
The one who used to adore me?
251
I pulled her away from Mom.
252
That amazing Mom never left.
253
You did, Jasmine.
254
She would have loved you and adored you if you'd let her, but you didn't want anything to do with her when she needed you the most.
255
Jasmine suddenly fell down on her knees and started crying.
256
I made a huge mistake, Tulip.
257
Huge.
258
I can't believe I was such a fool turned away from my amazing family.
259
Please forgive me, and I promise I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you both.
260
No, Jasmine.
261
I'm afraid you'll only spend the rest of your life regretting your bad decisions.
262
Your crazy dumb mom and ugly sister have no space in their lives for you.
263
And with that, I took mom's hand and we got into the cab waiting for us and left.

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.
