7. The Grey Cloud I was on a long, boring train ride with my aunt.
2
I looked out of the window at the rain.
3
The countryside looked grey and cold.
4
Tell me a story, Aunt Claire, I said.
5
One about the rain.
6
"'All right,' she said.
7
"'This is the story she told me.
8
"'There was a small cloud in the sky above the apartment where Lily lived.
9
"'Sometimes the cloud got angry because the wind was too strong "'or because it was alone in the sky.
10
"'When the cloud got really angry, it got slowly bigger and grayer.
11
Its grey colour fell onto the roof of Lily's apartment building
12
It also fell into Lily's roof garden And
13
when Lily went outside to skip She couldn't see the red and yellow flowers there She could only see grey ones
14
Lily often got angry then too Sometimes the cloud wasn't only angry it got really sad.
15
When the cloud felt really angry and sad it felt worse
16
and it cried and its wet rain fell on Lily's windows and balcony.
17
Lily didn't like being wet.
18
She couldn't go outside and dance on the garden table because she didn't like getting her head, neck and shoulders wet.
19
Lily often got angry and sad then too.
20
Sometimes, the cloud wasn't only angry and sad.
21
It often got frightened.
22
When the cloud felt frightened, it felt colder.
23
Then its snow fell quietly on the ground and rocks
24
And on the mountains behind Lily's home And water changed to ice
25
Walking in the snow and on the ice was difficult and dangerous Lily often got angry, sad and frightened then too
26
Monday wasn't a good day The cloud was huge and very grey
27
Lily couldn't see any light from the sun She couldn't see her feet on the ground And at night,
28
Lily couldn't see any light from the moon or stars Tuesday and Wednesday were worse Nothing was different On Thursday morning,
29
when Lily got up and saw no light outside again, she thought, I've got to do something about this.
30
She climbed up the stairs to the roof garden.
31
Cloud, Lily called from the top of the roof.
32
This is the worst day of my week.
33
I love looking at you when you are small and white
34
and when you skip and dance and climb in the wind But why are you huge and so gray now?
35
What is the matter?
36
The cloud started to cry.
37
The wind is strong, and I am weak, and I have no friends, cried the cloud.
38
That makes me angry and sad, and I get bigger and grayer.
39
I feel worse and worse, and then my rain falls.
40
Oh, dear, said Lily.
41
And sometimes I get frightened because I have no friends.
42
When I feel frightened, I get really cold and my snow falls, added the cloud.
43
Well, shall I be your best friend today?
44
I know I can make you feel better again,
45
stronger too, Lily said to the cloud and started to skip along the roof garden.
46
And when you feel happy again, I can be happier too, she said.
47
Come on, let's skip.
48
Lily took off her coat and started to skip around the gray flowers, and the clouds slowly started to skip around the sun.
49
That's better, but more quickly.
50
More quickly, laughed Lily.
51
Come on, my friend Now let's dance
52
Lily jumped up onto the table
53
Waved her arms around and started to dance and the clouds slowly started to dance in the wind
54
fantastic laughed Lily now come on are you feeling better or worse better said the cloud.
55
Great!
56
Then now let's climb.
57
Lily started to climb her favorite rock, and the cloud started to climb in the sky.
58
Higher!
59
Higher!
60
Lily called.
61
And when the cloud skipped and danced and climbed with Lily, its color changed from gray to white,
62
and a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky.
63
The cloud was happy again, and Lily couldn't stop laughing.
64
That's better!
65
But it wasn't always like that.
66
On some days of the year, the clouds rain and snow fell because it felt angry or sad or frightened again.
67
Lily understood that.
68
We can't always feel happy, Aunt Claire said, but skipping,
69
dancing and climbing and laughing and playing with really good friends can always help us feel better again.
70
Now pick up your bag.
71
Here's our station.

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.
