I'm Nancy Cartwright and today  I'm going to read to you: "How I Met My Monster" written by Amanda  Knoll and illustrated by Howard McWilliam.
3
One night, when I reached under the bed  for my truck, I found this note instead “From the Office of Mr. Zee: Monsters!  Meet here for final test. - Z” Ha! My parents were obviously trying  to trick me into staying in bed.
4
I didn’t believe in monsters… ...So I crumpled the paper, grabbed my  truck, and zipped over to my garage.
5
I heard some creaking and rumbling, but I wasn’t  scared. Our house always made noises at night.
6
But then a voice under the bed scolded, “Stop that stomach rumbling!  The child will hear you.” Voices? Stomach rumbling? If this was part  of my parents’ trick, it was pretty cool.
7
I peered into the inky blackness.  Five pairs of eyes blinked back.
8
“See? Now he knows we’re here,” the voice sighed.
9
“One of you has broken Monster Rule Number 1: Maintain the element of surprise.” This is no trick. I thought.  There ARE monsters under my bed!
10
A long-necked yellow monster slid  out, followed by four little monsters.
11
“Rule Number 2,” the yellow one instructed.  “Never block the bed. All of you - scoot over!” Hey, I realized. That one must be their teacher!
12
I sat up straight, mesmerized by the  monster parade shuffling across my bedroom.
13
“That’s better,” The teacher-monster said.
14
“Access to the bed is clear.  Now, who knows Rule Number 3?” The purple monster teetered on his tiptoes  and gurgled, “Get the child into bed!” “That’s correct, Genghis.  And how would you do that?” “Well, Mr. Zee, I would… roar my scariest roar!” “Alright, give it a go!” Genghis took a deep breath, opened  his mouths, and let out a tiny burp!
15
“Stomach rumbling would have a better  chance of getting me into bed than that funny little noise,” I laughed.
16
“The child is right,” said  Mr. Zee, shaking his head.
17
“That was not sufficiently scary. Genghis, I’m sorry. You’re not the  best monster for this child.” There was some creaking as  Genghis slunk beneath the bed.
18
Before i could investigate where Genghis had gone, Mr. Zee asked, “NOW who wants to  try to get the child into bed?” The orange monster looked at the ceiling  and the red monster looked at the floor.
19
Only the green one looked at me. First,  he stared at my toes and started drooling.
20
Then he took a step toward me, and  I heard that rumbling noise again.
21
I sprang into bed so he couldn’t get my feet.
22
Mr. Zee blinked. “Very unconventional, Gabe. Your  stomach gurgles seem to be what this child needs.” What I needed was to make sure this  little Gabe-monster didn’t eat my toes!
23
“Right, you three. The child  is now in bed,” said Mr. Zee.
24
“As every monster knows, the ultimate objective  is Rule Number 4. Who can tell me what that is?” The orange monster bounced and squeaked, “Keep the child in bed until it falls asleep!” “Correct, Morgan. And how  would you accomplish that?” “Shadow puppets! Shadow  puppets!” She squeaked again.
25
Gabe whistled through his nose  and I snickered, but Mr. Zee said, “Interesting idea. Try it.” Morgan hopped onto my night table and flailed her  arms near my lamp. Silly shadows blobbed onto the wall, and a cloud of fluffy fur tickled my nose. “AAAAACHOOOO!” “Morgan, stop at once,” Mr. Zee ordered. “You’re  supposed to scare him - not make him sneeze!
26
I’m sorry, but you’re not a match either.” Morgan’s arms flopped to her sides  and she scuttled under my bed.
27
There was some more creaking, and Morgan was gone.
28
After all that sneezing I really  needed a tissue. Suddenly, a huge shadow of uncut  claws loomed across my room.
29
Awesome! I thought. And kind  of scary. I froze in place.
30
“Powerful performance, Gabe,” said Mr.  Zee, “but do either of you see a problem?” “Ooh, I know!” chirped the red monster.  “The child is out of bed again!” “Correct, Abigail,” Mr. Zee continued, “and one of you must get him back in. Let’s revisit Rule  Number 1: Maintain the element of surprise.” All at once - POOF! - the monsters  vanished. Then I heard more rumbling.
31
Were they hiding in my closet  making noises to scare me?
32
Ha! No! It was only my stomach grumbling.  All this excitement was making me hungry!
33
I tiptoed past the closet and peeked out the door.
34
So far, so good. No monsters.
35
Then I stepped over the squeaky stair  and sneaked down to the kitchen.
36
As I reached into the pantry, I  heard some chattering behind me.
37
I sure hoped it wasn’t that toe-loving Gabe.
38
I yanked open the fridge. Ha! It wasn’t Gabe! It  was just the red monster, shivering on the shelf.
39
“Found you!” I laughed.
40
“Nice try, Abigail,” said Mr. Zee, “but this isn’t working. You’re not  the right monster for this child.” “But Mr. Zee,” she whined, “it’s  not my fault he’s not scared of me.” “I’m sorry, Abigail. Let’s go.” Abigail colmped behind Mr. Zee.
41
When I heard the creaking, I knew she was gone.
42
I grabbed some crackers and headed  upstairs, wondering if Gabe was gone too.
43
I munched all the way down the hall… ...then went into the bathroom  to brush my teeth again.
44
When i opened the door a minute later… ...Gabe was definitely NOT gone!
45
He was right there - and he was HUGE!
46
I charged into my room and slammed the door.
47
When i leaped into bed, I  knew my toes were safe. Whew!
48
I was surprised to hear breathing under my bed.
49
Ragged breathing. And stomach rumbling.
50
“Hey, kid,” Gabe growled. “Good to see ya.” I pulled my covers up tight.
51
“Now if you don’t mind, I’d like to start  the evening with an ominous puddle of drool.” I peeked over the edge of the bed. Green  ooze spread soundlessly from underneath.
52
Then the bed quivered as Gabe  unfurled his spiked tail.
53
“Well, this looks quite promising,” Mr. Zee noted.
54
When I heard ome more creaking,  I knew Mr. Zee was gone.
55
I was alone… with Gabe.
56
Gabe loomed over my bed and began  sharpening his uncut claws on my bedpost.
57
“H-How’d you get so big?” I gasped.
58
“Rule Number 5, my friend,” he explained.
59
“People food makes monsters grow.
60
So thanks for the crackers.  Got any toes I can munch?” I scrunched in my feet so Gabe couldn’t get them.
61
This was WAY better than playing with trucks.
62
“No toes tonight, but you can have this,” I  offered, tossing a stuffed monster off the bed.
63
Gabe dove for it. His soft, comforting snorts  filled the room as he snuffled the toy.
64
I shivered.
65
“Kid, I think this is the beginning  of a beautiful friendship.” “No other monster can scare  me like you!” I giggled.
66
Gabe was the monster for me. His  snorts and ooze were perfect.
67
I yawned, then shivered again.
68
I was asleep in no time.
69
I'll tell you what II really love about this book.
70
Amanda Noll really beautifully lays it out so a child can understand how he can not be afraid.
71
It actually empowers him so that if something is upsetting him he doesn't have to let  that bother him or get the best of him.
72
It's like these monsters that are under the bed  they're all not so bad.
73
And it puts him more in control of what's going on in that environment  when he's trying to go to sleep at night.
74
There's nothing that beats a good story that  encourages and inspires a child's imagination.

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.
