ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: Ginny reads out her essay (S01E08)

Next up, Ginny Miller.

Growing up, I thought that...

Growing up, I thought people were born with their heads cocked because that's how they've always looked at me.

Boxes.

Check one.

Check other.

People don't know they don't furrow between the layers like I do.

They don't switch and twitch and actively make the decisions of which.

Which part of me belongs today?

Which aspect of my personality will offend the least

and blend the most and work and succeed

and bury the lead like a switchboard of traits that decide my fate and I'm always an imposter?

Always lost, always asking for directions, and people point my way like the scarecrow.

Like tornadoes blowing me whichever way the wind blows.

Well, Dorothy doesn't want to play today.

She's prepping for the SAT, just the Scantron.

The box is empty and glaring and daring me to choose one.

Well, I'm an expert at boxes.

My whole life can fit inside it, and I've got it down to a science.

I can pack my entire identity in an hour, because where there's roots, there's power, but I'm all topsoil.

My blood runs like water and oil, refusing to stick.

My dad's old books, read in secret nooks, that camera that locks all my memories in a flash, saved for when my recollection doesn't last,

that lighter that sparked that fire.

All fit in a box ready to be carried from door to door.

But that's not the kind of box people ever ask for.

So many lines in the sand, so many cants and cans, I see both worlds so clearly, and I skip and jump and dance and fall between, never seen.

I belong in the spaces between.

Check all that may apply.

Ah!

Oh, my God!

Hello? And the winner is...
