1
Hi, I'm Ivy from California, and I love making lists.
2
To -do lists, shopping lists, lists of my strengths and weaknesses, and my life goals.
3
And my number one life goal is to become a veterinarian.
4
But before I continue, please like and subscribe because if you do, a songbird might land on your window and sing to you.
5
I love animals.
6
When I was seven, I went to the zoo and saw this pretty cat locked up in a cage.
7
Mom, it looks so sad.
8
Honey, don't get too close.
9
I snatched the keys off the zookeeper's belt and let the cat out.
10
I was banned from the zoo after that.
11
Another time, I invited a stray cat and dog into our house.
12
They got so excited that they scratched up the curtains, the walls, and the furniture.
13
My brother's face swelled up like a tomato because he was allergic.
14
When I was 15, I was outside the grocery store and this woman came up to me.
15
Save the whales!
16
Excuse me, have you ever considered being an actor?
17
The camera would love you, and you can make a ton of money.
18
My parents appeared out of nowhere with these huge smiles on their faces.
19
Apparently, the woman was a famous agent who had discovered a ton of young movie stars.
20
Ivy, this is a once -in -a -lifetime opportunity.
21
But I don't want to be an actor.
22
I want to be a vet.
23
The extra money you'd make could help the family and pay for veterinary school.
24
I didn't want to take up acting but looking at mom
25
and dad and the fact that this money could really help us out, I reluctantly agreed.
26
The next day, I signed a contract with the agent.
27
Soon, I was auditioning every day.
28
I booked small roles in TV shows and a few movies.
29
In the 11th grade, I auditioned at a big Hollywood studio for a role in a movie opposite this teenage heartthrob, Roman.
30
I arrived at the audition with cat hair all over my clothes, and I smelled a little funny from volunteering at the animal shelter.
31
I stopped in the bathroom to clean up and ran into Becky, the meanest girl in school.
32
She was also auditioning for the role and was equally shocked to see me there.
33
What are you doing here?
34
I'm auditioning?
35
You'll never get this part.
36
They don't want a weirdo like you.
37
We'll see about that.
38
I auditioned, then went to the park to feed the birds.
39
One of them dropped a little surprise on my head.
40
It just meant that he liked me.
41
The next morning in school, Becky He stormed up to me screaming like a lunatic.
42
You cheated.
43
You bribed someone.
44
I know you did.
45
There's no way you could beat me to the part.
46
Thankfully, one of the teachers was around and grabbed Becky before she could attack me.
47
Just then my phone rang, and it was my agent, confirming that I got the part.
48
When Mom and Dad heard, they were over the moon.
49
But I was still not as happy.
50
A week later, I was on set and heard a commotion.
51
I turned to see Roman yelling at one of the assistants.
52
I said decaf, you idiot.
53
An hour later, he shouted at the writer.
54
This dialogue is horrible.
55
Change it now.
56
The next day, he was even worse.
57
Roman and I were shooting a scene where we were playing with the cutest little puppy.
58
The puppy jumped up and licked Roman in the face.
59
Get that thing out of here.
60
It was bad enough that Roman bullied the crew.
61
But to scare an innocent little puppy was going too far.
62
You're a big, fat jerk.
63
I'm not fat.
64
How dare you?
65
Do you know who I am?
66
You're a spoiled brat, your acting sucks, and your movies stink.
67
You can't talk to me like that.
68
I already did, and you know what?
69
I quit.
70
I'd rather get stung by a jellyfish than spend another second with you.
71
My agent called me a dozen times, but I didn't answer.
72
Roman wasn't the first spoiled actor I'd dealt with on set, but he was going to be the last.
73
I was done with acting.
74
A few days later, a sound woke me up in the middle of the night.
75
Ouch.
76
I charged at the intruder and knocked him to the ground.
77
And then I saw his face.
78
What are you doing here?
79
I wanted to talk to you.
80
Ever heard of a phone?
81
Did you mean the things you said about me?
82
Every last word.
83
Then Roman sat on my bed and looked up at me with the cutest puppy dog eyes.
84
No one ever tells me the truth.
85
Everyone says I'm such a great actor, and they expect me to be perfect.
86
But I'm not.
87
That's why my last few movies failed, and I just got bitter.
88
I'm really sorry for being mean, but I really just want to do a good job.
89
You're playing a poor teenage boy in high school.
90
It's not that difficult.
91
It's difficult for me.
92
I've never been to a high school, and I'm definitely not poor.
93
So I was hoping you could do me a favor.
94
What favor?
95
I want to go to school with you, and I want to live like a normal teenager.
96
I'm not sure how you're going to manage that.
97
Your face is everywhere.
98
Then Roman opened his backpack.
99
He pulled out a wig and a makeup bag then turned his back to me.
100
Ten seconds later when he turned around, he looked like a totally different person.
101
Call me Rob.
102
My manager enrolled me in your high school under my new name.
103
I can stay here in your house, and when we get to school, you can teach me how to be a normal teenager.
104
Why do you want to stay at my house when you can easily afford another mansion?
105
Let's just say, I want to get the feel of everything, without my riches and comfort.
106
And your house is perfect.
107
You want to go to vet school and open an animal shelter, right?
108
Uh -huh.
109
But what's that got to do with this?
110
You do this for me, and I'll give you a million dollars, making all your dreams come true.
111
At that moment, I saw my future flash before my eyes.
112
I couldn't say no. Roman slept on my bedroom floor that night.
113
I was sound asleep when music started blasting at 5 a .m in the morning.
114
Roman and his personal trainer were working out in the middle of my room.
115
What are you doing?
116
You'll wake my parents.
117
And how did he come in?
118
The same way I did.
119
I turned off the music and shoved Roman and his trainer out of my window.
120
Honey, what's going on in there?
121
Just getting into shape, Dad.
122
Later that morning when I went downstairs, I got the shock of my life.
123
Honey, you never told us you had a boyfriend.
124
What boyfriend?
125
Then Roman turned around with an apron and a plate full of pancakes.
126
And he's such a great cook.
127
I grabbed Roman's hand and dragged him out the door.
128
Why would you tell my parents that you're my boyfriend?
129
It's perfect, right?
130
Now I can hang out at your house at any time without causing suspicion.
131
That was not part of the deal.
132
Well, what's your plan?
133
If I'm not your boyfriend, then what am I?
134
We're just friends, genius.
135
I've never been friends with a girl before.
136
The truth is, I never really had any friends either, girls or boys.
137
And I certainly never, ever had a boyfriend, but I wasn't going to admit that to Roman.
138
We went to school, and somehow, Roman was in every one of my classes, and he always sat in the seat behind me.
139
Whenever he wasn't staring at me, he was mimicking me.
140
He slouched in his seat like me, chewed his pencil like me, and even tried walking like me.
141
Stop copying me.
142
People are staring.
143
Oh, sorry.
144
What am I supposed to do?
145
Homework?
146
I already finished it.
147
Roman showed me his notebook.
148
He'd completed our math homework and half the upcoming assignments in the book.
149
How'd you do that so fast?
150
I had a tutor who was pretty intense.
151
I learned this stuff a couple of years ago.
152
I was horrible at math.
153
It was my worst subject.
154
If you need my help, just say so.
155
I really don't mind.
156
Afterwards, you can show me what normal kids do for fun.
157
Yeah, I guess.
158
Roman helped me finish my homework, and then I took him to the beach to surf, To a pizza shop, to the arcade, and to the animal shelter.
159
I showed him the dogs that were up for adoption, and he freaked out.
160
What's the matter?
161
Dogs don't like me.
162
That's not true.
163
I took Roman's hand and introduced him to Mr. Buttercup, the sweetest dog at the shelter.
164
Roman pet him, and they ended up becoming best of friends.
165
As time went on, I got used to hanging out with Roman.
166
We hung out at school and at home, and we sometimes talked all night.
167
As I got to know him, he was actually pretty cool, and he didn't think I was weird because I loved animals so much.
168
One night we were hanging out on the roof of my house, watching the stars.
169
That's the Big Dipper, and that's Orion the Hunter.
170
It's special.
171
It reminds me of you.
172
How?
173
Orion only comes out during certain seasons, just like you.
174
I still don't follow.
175
There's something different about you when you're with animals.
176
You shine.
177
There's a bright light within you, and I think it's beautiful.
178
I don't see that when you're with other people.
179
Why is that?
180
Animals are sweet and accepting.
181
People are difficult and judgmental.
182
I used to feel the same way.
183
Well, not about animals, but people.
184
But that changed when I met you.
185
The wind picked up, and I started to shiver.
186
Then Roman put his arm around me, pulled me close, and kissed me.
187
My heart fluttered as the moonlight shined down on us.
188
His words echoed in my mind.
189
And that's when I remembered.
190
It was a line from one of Roman's sappy rom -coms.
191
Of course, he was just acting.
192
I pulled away.
193
I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?
194
This isn't a movie, Roman.
195
And I'm not your girlfriend.
196
Not now, not ever.
197
After that, Roman started acting strange.
198
He didn't sit near me in class anymore.
199
And although he was still hiding out in my bedroom, he kept to his side of the room and I kept to mine.
200
I felt bad for being mean to him.
201
Roman was a self -absorbed jerk, but maybe he was changing.
202
Maybe he really did like me.
203
I caught up with him at his locker to talk.
204
Roman.. about the other night.
205
It's okay.
206
What happened on the roof wasn't part of our agreement.
207
I should have never put you in that situation.
208
You just caught me off guard.
209
I never expected that you could be.. be what?
210
So thoughtful, smart, and kind?
211
You're so much more than the characters you play in movies.
212
Orion may shine bright, but the real you is spectacular.
213
You shouldn't hide it.
214
And neither should you.
215
Roman took my hands.
216
And just then, Becky and her annoying boyfriend and Milo walked up to us with their army of brats.
217
So, who's your new friend?
218
He doesn't have four legs and fur.
219
A bit of advice, new guy.
220
Stop wasting your time with Ivy.
221
She's a loser and a freak.
222
Becky and her friend started laughing, and Roman's face turned red.
223
Don't talk about Ivy like that again.
224
Oh yeah?
225
What you gonna do about it?
226
Milo shoved Roman, and they got into a terrible fight.
227
As the teacher tried to pull them apart, Roman's wig fell off, and his cover was blown. Is that...Roman?
228
Everyone started pulling out their cell phones and started recording Roman as he ran away.
229
The next morning, the video of Roman's fight with Milo went viral.
230
Milo sued Roman in court for his injuries and Roman was fired from his movie.
231
Reporters found out that I had helped him with the disguise and they camped outside of my house to interview me.
232
A dozen stories were even published blaming me for ruining Roman's career.
233
I tried to reach out to Roman, but he didn't answer my calls or texts.
234
I felt so guilty that he was losing everything because he stuck up for me.
235
He was my first real friend, and it cost him so much.
236
A few weeks later, a breaking news report revealed that Roman's manager had stolen all of Roman's money and left the country.
237
I couldn't believe that things were getting worse for Roman, and there was nothing I could do to help him.
238
One evening, I was working at the shelter when Mr. Buttercup started jumping and barking like crazy.
239
Then he yanked on his leash so hard that it slipped out of my fingers.
240
Where are you going?
241
Oh my god.
242
Roman?
243
Hey, Ivy.
244
What are you doing here?
245
I don't have much money left, but we had an agreement.
246
Is this the only reason you're here?
247
Besides, I can't take that.
248
I'm the reason you lost everything.
249
What are you saying?
250
You're the reason I realized life is more than just making money.
251
Ever since I met you, I've become a better person.
252
And even dogs like me now.
253
Dogs?
254
Really?
255
Are you just gonna stand there talking about philosophical nonsense?
256
So, you want me to say that I'm madly in love with you?
257
Or that I can't stop thinking about you?
258
Or just shut up and kiss me already?

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
