2
In a small district in New York, many artists lived in a building.
3
Two young women, Sue and Johnsy, shared a studio on the top floor.
4
They had come from different places, but they both loved art and food, so they became great friends.
5
In November, a cold and invisible visitor arrived in the city, pneumonia.
6
It struck many people and poor Johnsy became very ill.
7
She lay in her bed, barely moving, and looked through the small window at the brick wall of the house next door.
8
One morning, the doctor spoke to Sue in the hallway.
9
She has one chance in ten, he said.
10
But that chance depends on her desire to live.
11
Your friend has decided that she is not going to get better.
12
Is she worrying about something?
13
She wanted to paint the Bay of Naples one day, Sue said.
14
but she has nothing else on her mind.
15
Does she have anything worth living for?
16
the doctor asked.
17
A man, perhaps?
18
A man?
19
Sue said, sounding annoyed.
20
Is a man worth more than the sun?
21
No, doctor, there is nothing like that.
22
After the doctor left, Sue went into the room with her drawing board.
23
She was whistling, trying to be cheerful.
24
Suddenly she heard a low sound johnsy was whispering.
25
She counted backwards.
26
Eleven, ten, nine.
27
Sue looked out of the window.
28
She saw an old ivy vine climbing the brick wall.
29
The cold autumn wind had blown almost all the leaves away.
30
What is it, dear?
31
Sue asked.
32
Six, Johnsy said, her voice weak.
33
They are falling faster now.
34
Three days ago there were almost a hundred.
35
It makes my head ache to count them.
36
But now it's easy.
37
There goes another one.
38
Only five left now.
39
Five what, sweetheart?
40
Leaves on the ivy vine.
41
When the last one falls, I must go too.
42
I've known it for three days.
43
Oh, what a load of rubbish, Sue said, trying to sound firm.
44
The doctor said you have a good chance of getting better.
45
Try to eat some soup.
46
There goes another one, Johnsy said.
47
No, I don't want any soup.
48
Only four left now.
49
I want to see the last one fall before it gets dark.
50
Then I'll go too.
51
Sue went downstairs to visit Mr. Bearman, an old painter who lived on the ground floor.
52
He was a fierce-looking little man who was a failure in art.
53
For 40 years he had talked about painting a masterpiece, but he had never started it.
54
Sue told him about Johnsy's silly idea.
55
Behrman shouted, Are you mad?
56
Is it possible that anyone could be so stupid as to die because leaves fall from a vine?
57
I will not paint.
58
I am going up to see Johnsy.
59
They went upstairs.
60
Johnsy was sleeping.
61
They went into the other room and looked out of the window at the ivy vine.
62
They looked at each other for a moment without speaking.
63
A cold rain was falling, mixed with snow.
64
Behrman sat down and started to paint.
65
The next morning, Johnsy woke up and immediately asked Sue to pull up the curtain.
66
Sue was afraid, but she did it.
67
The ivy vine was still there and look.
68
On the wall against the brick there was still one leaf.
69
It was the last one.
70
It was still dark green near the stem but its edges were yellow.
71
It hung bravely from a branch, twenty feet above the ground.
72
It is the last one, said Johnsy.
73
I thought it would fall during the night.
74
I heard the wind.
75
But the day passed and even through the night the wind blew but the leaf stayed.
76
The next morning, Johnsy looked out again.
77
The leaf was still there.
78
She called Sue to her side.
79
I've been a bad girl, Sue, Johnsy whispered.
80
Something made that last leaf stay there to show me how wicked it was to want to die.
81
It is a sin to want to die.
82
Please, bring me some soup.
83
An hour later, the doctor arrived.
84
You are doing well, he said.
85
In a few days, you will be out of danger.
86
Later that day, Sue went to see Behrman.
87
He was in his room, very sick.
88
He only had pneumonia for two days.
89
The janitor found him in his room, helpless and in pain.
90
His shoes and clothes were soaking wet and cold.
91
They couldn't understand where he had been on such a terrible night.
92
Then they found a lantern that was still lit A ladder
93
that had been moved And some brushes with green and yellow paint on them Look out of the window,
94
dear, Sue said to Johnsy Look at that ivy leaf on the wall
95
Didn't you wonder why it never fluttered or moved when the wind blew?
96
Oh, darling, it is Behrman's masterpiece.
97
He painted it there the night the last leaf fell.
98
District In the story, Sue and Johnsy lived in a small district of New York.
99
A district is an area or neighbourhood within a city.
100
Different districts often have different characteristics.
101
This particular district was known for artists and small studios.
102
They lived in a quiet district where many painters and writers worked.
103
What a load of rubbish!
104
When Sue says, what a load of rubbish, she doesn't mean actual rubbish or garbage.
105
means that's nonsense don't be silly it's a very common British expression used
106
when you strongly disagree with what someone has said example I'm
107
going to fail the exam what a load of rubbish you've studied really hard.
108
Fierce looking.
109
The story describes Behrman as a fierce-looking old man.
110
Fierce looking means someone looks tough, strict or a little frightening.
111
However, it describes appearance, not personality.
112
In many stories, a fierce-looking character turns out to be kind-hearted.
113
The old man looked fierce-looking with his thick beard and serious face, but he was very kind to the children.
114
In this story, Behrman looked rough and intimidating, but inside he was caring, brave and generous.
115
O. Henry was an American short story writer famous for his emotional stories and surprising endings.
116
His real name was William Sidney Porter.
117

118
And that brings us to the end of The Last Leaf by O.
119
Henry.
120
This touching story reminds us that hope can appear in the darkest moments
121
and that even a small act of kindness can change someone's life forever.
122
Thank you for listening and I'll see you in the next story.
123
Goodbye for now.

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.
