3
I was just a baby when mom and dad divorced, and growing up, my mom was pretty much my whole world.
4
We did everything together, walking our dogs, swimming, and reading on rainy days.
5
Once mom took me to the playground, and kids were playing hopscotch.
6
I wanted to join them, but I didn't know how.
7
So I started crying until mom picked me up and started jumping and playing.
8
Some kids laughed, some stared, and some begged their moms to hold them.
9
The moms didn't like that and glared at us.
10
But mom didn't care.
11
She jumped harder, and we fell badly on the ground.
12
I got bruises on my face, and mom broke her leg.
13
Some moms came running to help us, and I swear some of them were laughing.
14
Mean witches.
15
I wanted to punch them, but I was too little.
16
And yeah, mom and I were inseparable.
17
And as a kid, I was really shy and had a hard time making friends.
18
I would just sit on the sidelines watching other children play.
19
But whenever someone tried to talk to me, I'd just freeze.
20
Do you want to play kickball with us, Rochelle?
21
I… I… I… Eh, just forget it.
22
I did well in school, but every year I got a little more lonely.
23
By the time I was eight, everyone treated me like I was invisible.
24
Some teachers didn't even know my name.
25
Once our math teacher was absent, so the other class's teacher came to fill in her place for the day.
26
She was old and grumpy and she smelled like Home Depot.
27
When she saw me, she said, Oh my god, did someone bring their sister to school again?
28
For the thousandth time, don't bring your relatives to school they don't attend.
29
This is not a BTS concert.
30
Give me your mom's number.
31
I'm calling her to pick you up right now.
32
I swear I don't get paid enough to do this.
33
But, but, I, I'm the school.
34
Excuse me?
35
Then some of my classmates interfered and told her that I attended this school.
36
She wasn't convinced until I swore on my grandma's grave.
37
And then she checked the class list and left me alone.
38
Duh, I'd been going to the same school since kindergarten.
39
The only people who knew I existed were the mean kids who loved to pick on me.
40
I never understood why, but I guess it was because I was an easy target and wouldn't fight them back.
41
They'd be stealing my lunch, calling me a ghost and whatnot.
42
I don't understand what I did wrong.
43
They're always giggling when they see me.
44
Is it my hair?
45
Mom, do I smell?
46
Wait, is it my big nose?
47
No, duckling.
48
You are perfect.
49
Sometimes kids are just mean.
50
Don't give up, though.
51
In time, they'll see the real you.
52
This went on for five years, but when I turned 13, I swore it would end.
53
I needed to find a way to make friends and get the other kids to leave me alone.
54
If they didn't like who I was, I'd just have to change.
55
I talked my mom into taking me on a shopping spree.
56
I changed my whole style.
57
New shoes, a new jacket, even clip-on earrings because I didn't have my ears pierced.
58
My mom wouldn't let me dye my hair, so I got a new haircut instead.
59
But when I went to school the next day, well, you could say the outcome was disappointing.
60
Ew, who are you supposed to be? Who, me?
61
This is just how I dress.
62
Well, stop it.
63
You look like a weirdo.
64
And just like that, my confidence was shattered.
65
Julie, the most popular girl in my school, hated how I looked.
66
I felt so stupid.
67
I waited for the end of the day, then ran home and cried in my room.
68
But then, I had a moment of realization.
69
What does Julie have that I don't?
70
If she can be so popular, I can too.
71
Fine, if a new look wasn't enough, I'd just have to do something more extreme.
72
I'd be like Julie.
73
I made a list of everything she did.
74
The food she ate, the movies she talked about, the sports she played.
75
Don't ask me how I got all this info.
76
Shy kids have their ways.
77
Shy kids are the scariest.
78
Don't be a shy kid.
79
If I couldn't get friends by being myself, I was ready to fake it till I made it.
80
Three weeks later, I sat down at the popular girls' table in the cafeteria.
81
Everyone stared at me.
82
I was panicking.
83
Julie loved volleyball.
84
I wanted to talk about it to win her over.
85
Volleyball.
86
Ahem.
87
Volley, according to the Oxford Dictionary, means a lot of bullets, stones, etc. that are fired or thrown at at the same time.
88
Ball.
89
Well, it's kinda the same thing, but not a bullet or a stone or etc. and not thrown at the same time.
90
Everyone at the table was looking at me like I had two heads.
91
Someone get this freak away from me?
92
Okay, I needed a new plan.
93
So I spent the whole summer planning, and after much thinking, I knew what I had to do.
94
I would pretend to have spent the summer in Italy.
95
I even practiced an Italian accent.
96
No one else from my school had ever been to Italy.
97
They would have to think I was cool.
98
On the first day back from summer break, the homeroom teacher called on me, And I knew this was my chance to show off my new accent.
99
I'm here.
100
Since when do you talk like that?
101
Oh, this?
102
I spent the summer in Italy.
103
Julie burst out laughing behind me.
104
No you didn't, you little liar.
105
Brittany saw you in the library.
106
You're lying about going on vacation.
107
Oh yeah, that's a new one.
108
Thank God you didn't work in a zoo during the summer break.
109
Imagine how you'd be talking now.
110
Who lies about going on vacation?
111
Someone whose mom died!
112
I couldn't believe I said it, but it was too late to take it back.
113
Julie stopped laughing, and everyone got quiet.
114
The teacher was busy at his desk and didn't notice.
115
Wow, I'm sorry, Rochelle.
116
Sam was comforting me?
117
I didn't remember the last time she'd even spoken to me.
118
Yeah, I'm sorry too.
119
I didn't know.
120
Do you want to, like, sit with me at lunch or something?
121
Sure, I guess that'd be okay.
122
I didn't know why I said that.
123
I just panicked.
124
But suddenly, I had a spot at the popular girls' table.
125
Kids who had always bullied me were now fighting over who got to buy me lunch.
126
I'd gone from being the most hated girl in my school to being the most loved one overnight.
127
Everyone was sympathizing with me and wanted me to feel better.
128
Not wanting to lose all the attention, Julie took me under her wing and started acting like a big sister to me.
129
We hung out between classes and she even walked me home after school.
130
So, like, who's taking care of you now that your mom's, um, gone?
131
My aunt is looking after me for now.
132
I'll probably have to move in with her later.
133
Her house is even bigger than my mom's and she has a pool.
134
Not that I'm okay enough to swim and have fun.
135
I'm still sad, but I thought it was worth mentioning that she had a pool.
136
I ran inside before Julie could ask any more questions.
137
My mom was in the kitchen cooking spaghetti.
138
Oh, hi, Rochelle.
139
How was school?
140
Sorry, mom.
141
Can't talk now.
142
Lots of homework.
143
I locked myself in my room and tried to catch my breath.
144
How could I have lied about that?
145
And about my mom, of all people?
146
But I couldn't go back now.
147
Everyone would hate me even more than they did before.
148
Even my mom would hate me.
149
I would just have to keep pretending my mom had died, forever if I had too.
150
What I was about to do was crazy, but what choice did I have?
151
It's okay.
152
It'll be worth it.
153
The next day, everyone at school was nice to me.
154
Kids gave me their snacks and even offered to do my homework for me.
155
All I had to do was walk around looking gloomy, and they did the rest.
156
Teachers at my school were always super busy, so none of them even noticed what was going on.
157
So what happened?
158
I mean, how did she pass away?
159
Like, was she sick or something?
160
The whole table got quiet.
161
Julie elbowed Sam, but you could tell she wanted to know too.
162
Luckily, I was prepared.
163
I handed Sam something I'd made on my computer the night before.
164
It was a fake obituary, with an old picture of my mom and everything.
165
I had just copied one from a newspaper and changed a couple of things.
166
All the kids leaned closer to read it.
167
Sudden illness?
168
That's awful, Rochelle.
169
Really awful.
170
I can't imagine my mom dying.
171
How are you keeping it together?
172
Well, having friends like you helps a lot.
173
Everyone gave me a group hug, but all I could think about was how bad lying felt.
174
I had never meant for things to get so out of hand, but now I was trapped.
175
Maybe if I just lied well enough, everything would work out okay.
176
That night at dinner, I was bursting to tell mom everything, but I couldn't.
177
I got invited to go roller skating with Julie and her friends.
178
Oh, duckling, that's wonderful.
179
Do you want me to drop you off at her house or...
180
No!
181
Rochelle, is everything alright?
182
Everything's fine.
183
I just.. feel like walking.
184
What's been going on with you?
185
You've been acting strange recently.
186
Hiding things and having outbursts?
187
I'm worried about you.
188
I'm okay, really.
189
I'd love to meet some of your new friends.
190
You will, Mom.
191
Just.. not yet.
192
The better things got at school, the worse they got at home.
193
Pretending my mom abandoned me was stressful, especially since I had to face her at home after.
194
I started yelling at the littlest things, storming off and even throwing stuff.
195
I knew I was acting crazy, but I couldn't stop.
196
Two weeks passed and still no one had found out.
197
It was getting harder and harder to keep track of all my lies.
198
The popular kids' table was starting to feel like a prison.
199
How come you never invite us over to your house?
200
It was always just me and my mom there.
201
I'm just not ready to have anyone else in it.
202
But your aunt's there, right?
203
Oh, right.
204
Yeah, I'm close with my aunt.
205
I call her Tito.
206
Her name is Time.
207
Poor thing.
208
Mom is luckier.
209
I mean, was, was luckier.
210
Her name's Date.
211
But yeah, I'm trying to adapt to the new situation.
212
I can't believe they still make you go to school and do homework.
213
You should, like, get a year off or something.
214
Do you want me to talk to the principal for you.
215
No, don't do that.
216
I mean, uh, I need school.
217
It helps distract me.
218
And I've already talked to the principal anyway.
219
The week after was Julie's birthday, and she threw a huge party at her house.
220
Half the school was there, even some parents and teachers who were friends with Julie's parents.
221
I was laughing and joking with some of the other girls when I saw Julie start to do a speech.
222
I want to thank everyone for being here to celebrate, especially my best friend, Rochelle, it's so sad that it took your mother's death for us to become friends,
223
but I'm so glad to know you now.
224
Her mother's what?
225
I couldn't move.
226
I couldn't breathe.
227
There was my mother, standing at the back of the crowd.
228
How had she heard about the party?
229
Who had told her?
230
This couldn't be happening.
231
Excuse me, are you her mom?
232
Yes.
233
Rochelle, do you want to explain what's going on?
234
Oh wow, that's very MSA.
235
Everyone stared at me.
236
I wanted to disappear.
237
People were talking, but all I heard was buzzing.
238
Julie was saying something and pointing at me.
239
Then my mother grabbed me by the arm and led me out of the party.
240
She didn't say anything until we were driving back to our house.
241
You need to explain yourself.
242
I broke down.
243
Everything that had happened swept over me at once, and I told my mother everything.
244
I'm so sorry, Mom.
245
I don't know why I lied.
246
I didn't mean to hurt you.
247
I'm so sorry.
248
My mother was quiet for a long time, just driving.
249
When she finally looked at me, there were tears in her eyes.
250
It breaks my heart that you were in so much pain and couldn't tell me.
251
You're my daughter, and I only want what's best for you.
252
I wish I had known that you were so lonely.
253
I know you didn't mean for all this to happen.
254
Now, you have to fix things.
255
I didn't sleep at all that night.
256
I was so scared to see Julie and everyone else at school.
257
But when I got there, no one teased me.
258
The only people who talked to me at all were my teachers.
259
Everyone else ignored me, just like I was eight years old again.
260
I was sitting alone at my old lunch table when Julie joined me.
261
None of the other popular girls followed.
262
You don't have to pretend to like me anymore.
263
I was never pretending, Rochelle.
264
I do like you.
265
I tried to tell you at the party, but your mom dragged you away before I could.
266
Why would you even talk to me after what I did?
267
I lied to you.
268
I faked about my mom leaving me, even though she's the best mom in the world.
269
I'm crazy.
270
You aren't crazy.
271
You're lonely.
272
And the cure for loneliness is a friend.
Và liều thuốc chữa cho sự cô đơn là một người bạn.
273
A real one this time.
Lần này là thật rồi.
274
You'll stop being popular if you hang out with me.
Bạn sẽ không còn nổi tiếng nữa nếu đi chơi với tôi.
275
There are more important things than popularity.
Có nhiều thứ quan trọng hơn sự nổi tiếng.
276
You really want to be my friend?
Bạn thực sự muốn làm bạn với tôi à?
277
Yeah, I do.
Vâng, tôi có đồng ý vậy.

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.
