She had a few of them in the pockets of her apron too.

She approached people walking on the road
8
but nobody purchased a single match from her as everybody was enjoying the eve out there.

Walking through the footpath, the girl saw many shops full of cakes and various foods.
10
She saw many restaurants with people eating different foods with candles
11
burning on their tables The girl too was very hungry as she had had nothing since morning

She ignored the sight and walked ahead.

She was shivering as it was night and the cold was quite piercing
14
She was unable to walk properly as she was barefoot
15
During daytime when she was at home sitting beside her ill grandmother Mary,
16
would you please go out today to sell the matches?
17
We could get some food if you could sell a few of them.
18
No, Mother.
19
It's too cold out there.
20
Go, you silly girl.
21
Go and sell all those matches by evening.
22
And don't come home unless you sell them all.

Oh, go, dear.
24
Or else he will hit you again.

I feel so sorry to have such a cruel son.
26
Don't cry, Grandma.
27
I'll go.
28
Mary put some matches in her apron, wore her mother's slippers, and left.
29
She tried her best, approaching people to buy the matches from her, but no one responded.

Would you like to purchase any matches?
34
Sorry little angel.
35
I don't need any and

Before moving on, she checked if her matches were safe.

She met many people but failed to sell any match.
42
Tired, she found a corner between two houses and decided to sit there for a while.
43
The cold was getting bitterer.
44
The girl with the matches in her hands thought, If I burn a matchstick, I can get some warmth.
45
Again, a thought came in her mind.
46
If father came to know about it, he would be very angry.
47
But the shivering forced her to think.
48
How would he know if I burnt just one stick?
49
She dared to take out a matchstick and burn it on a wood stick nearby.
50
And what a surprise!
51
The matchstick turned into an iron stove!
52
The girl felt warm.
53
She put her hand near the iron stove
54
and tried to grasp the warmth she was very happy
55
but soon in a few moments a snowdrop fell on the matchstick
56
and the flame went out she was very disappointed in a while she started shivering again.
57
She thought for a moment and took out the matchbox.
58
She picked out another matchstick and burnt it against the wall adjacent to her.

Ah, to her surprise, the wall turned transparent.

She could see through the wall now.

There was fire and light as many candles were burning.

The family living there was having their food.

She could see ample food
65
and cakes kept on the dining table where the family members were chatting and discussing something sitting around the table.

Mary saw a roasted goose kept in a plate on the table.
67
All of a sudden, the goose started staring at Mary.

She was surprised again.
69
The very next moment, she saw the goose coming towards her.
70
As she was very hungry, she felt happy to see the goose coming to her.
71
The goose came near the wall.
72
Mary was about to insert her hand in the wall and hold the goose.
73
Just then, the flame of the matchstick went off, and everything vanished at once.
74
Now there wasn't any transparent wall anymore.
75
Mary was very disappointed.
76
She looked at the sky, pleading God to help her.
77
Oh, God!
78
Please take me out of the situation.
79
Just then, she saw a star falling down.
80
A thought struck her mind.
81
They say, when a star falls, someone dies.
82
My grandma is very sick.
83
Does it mean that I've lost my grandma?
84
Oh, she loved me the most.
85
Crying, she took out another matchstick and burnt it.
86
She was not surprised to see her grandmother standing in front.
87

88
Yes, my child.
89
I'm here for you.
90
Mary was pleased to see her grandmother, but got scared the next moment.
91
She thought her grandmother also will disappear.
92
She took out more sticks from the match and put them on the burning stick.
93
And there was a light, a light as bright as the sunlight.
94
In that hour of night, there was a bright sunlight around Mary and her grandmother.

Give me your hand.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
