My darling George, you said that things seemed clearer when they were written down.
3
Well, herewith a very boring letter, in which I will try and put down everything,
4
so that you may read and reread it in horror at your folly in getting involved with me.
5
deep breath.
6
To begin with, I love you with the depth and passion that I have felt for no one else in this life.
7
And if it astonishes you, it astonishes me as well.
8
Not, I hasten to say, because you are not worth loving, far from it.
9
It's just that first of all, I swore I would not get involved with another woman.
10
Secondly, I have never had such a feeling before, and it's almost frightening.
11
Thirdly, I would never have thought it possible
12
that another human being could occupy my waking and sleeping thoughts to the exclusion of almost everything else.
13
Fourthly, I never thought that even if one was in love,
14
one could get so completely besotted with another person so that a minute away from them felt like a thousand years.
15
Fifthly, I never hoped aspired, dreamed that one could find everything one wanted in one person.
16
I was not such an idiot as to believe this was possible.
17
Yet in you, I have found everything I want.
18
You are beautiful, giving, gentle, idiotically and deliciously feminine, sexy,
19
wonderfully intelligent and wonderfully silly as well.
20
I want nothing else in this life than to be with you, to listen and watch you, your beautiful voice, your beauty,
21
to argue with you, to laugh with you, to show you things and share things with you, to explore your magnificent mind,
22
to explore your wonderful body, and to help you, protect you, serve you, and bash you on the head when I think you're wrong.
23
Not to put too fine a point on it, I consider that I am the only man outside mythology to have found the crock of gold at the rainbow's end.
24
Now let me tell you something.
25
I have seen a thousand sunsets and sunrises, on land where it floods forests and mountains with honey-colored light,
26
at sea where it rises
27
and sets like a blood orange in a multicolored nest of cloud slipping in and out of the vast ocean.
28
I have seen a thousand moons, harvest moons like gold coins, Winter moons as white as ice chips,
29
new moons like baby swan's feathers.
30
I have seen seas as smooth as if painted, colored like shot silk, or blue as a kingfisher,
31
or transparent as glass, all black and crumpled with foam, moving ponderously and murderously.
32
I have felt winds straight from the South Pole, bleak and wailing like a lost child.
33
Winds as tender and warm as a lover's breath.
34
Winds that carried the astringent smell of salts and the death of seaweeds.
35
Winds that carried the moist, rich smell of a forest floor, the smell of a million flowers.
36
Fierce winds that churned and moved the sea like yeast, or winds that made the waters lap at the shore's edge like a kitten.
37
I've known silence, The cold, earthy silence at the bottom of a newly dug well.
38
The implacable stony silence of a deep cave.
39
The hot, drugged midday silence when everything is hypnotized and stilled into silence by the eye of the sun.
40
The silence when great music ends.
41
I have heard summer cicadas cry so that the sound seems stitched into your bones.
42
I have heard tree frogs in an orchestration as complicated as Bach singing in a forest lit by a million emerald fireflies.
43
I've heard the keys calling over great glaciers that groaned to themselves
44
like old people as they inched their way to the sea.
45
I've heard the hoarse street vendor cries of the mating fur seals as they sang to their sleek golden wives.
46
The crisp staccato astonishment of the rattlesnake.
47
the cobweb squeak of the bat and the belling roar of red deer knee-deep in purple heather.
48
I've heard wolves baying at a winter's moon, red howler monkeys making the forest vibrate with their roaring cries.
49
I have heard the squeak, purr and grunt of a hundred multicolored reef fish.
50
I've seen hummingbirds flashing like opals round a tree of scarlet blooms, humming like a top.
51
I've seen flying fish skittering like quicksilver across the blue waves, drawing silver lines on the surface with their tails.
52
I've seen spoonbills flying home to roost like a scarlet banner across the sky.
53
I've seen whales, black as tar, cushioned on a cornflower blue sea,
54
creating a Versailles of fountain with their breath.
55
I've watched butterflies emerge and sit trembling while the sun irons their wings smooth.
56
I've watched tigers, like flames, mating in the long grass.
57
I've been dive-bombed by an angry raven, black and glossy as the devil's hoof.
58
I've lain in water warm as milk, soft as silk, while around me played a host of dolphins.
59
I have met a thousand animals and seen a thousand wonderful things,
60
but all this I did without you.
61
This was my loss.
62
All this I want to do with you.
63
This will be my gain.
64
All this I would gladly have forgone for the sake of one minute of your company, for your laugh, your voice,
65
your eyes, hair, lips, body and above all for your sweet ever surprising mind,
66
which is an enriching quarry in which it is my privilege to to delve.
67
Yours ever, Gerry.

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.
