Chapter 1.
2
The Darling Children There was a family called the Darlings.
3
They lived in a nice big house in London.
4
Mr Darling worked in an office every day, and Mrs Darling stayed home with the children.
5
She loved them very much.
6
The children were Wendy, John, and Michael.
7
Wendy was twelve years old, clever and kind.
8
John was ten.
9
Michael was the baby of the family.
10
He was only five.
11
The children slept in one big room at the top of the house.
12
This room was the nursery.
13
It had three small beds, a warm fireplace and many toys on the floor.
14
On cold nights, the fire in the fireplace made the whole room feel safe.
15
The family also had a big dog called Nana.
16
She was not an ordinary dog, because she was the children's nurse.
17
Every morning she took the children to school, and every evening she sat by their beds.
18
She gave them their medicine at the right time.
19
A dog can't be a nurse, Mr Darling said sometimes.
20
He felt uncomfortable about it.
21
Other families don't have dogs as nurses.
22
Nana is the best nurse in London, Mrs Darling said.
23
The children love her.
24
Other families have real nurses, Mr Darling said.
25
People, not dogs.
26
Our family has Nana, Mrs Darling said with a smile.
27
She's perfect.
28
Every night before bed, Mrs Darling came to the nursery and told the children stories.
29
She sang quiet songs and kissed each child goodnight.
30
After they fell asleep, she sat by the fireplace and looked at their sleeping faces.
31
She felt very happy in the quiet nursery.
32
One night, something very strange happened.
33
Mrs Darling was sitting alone by the fire, and the children were sleeping in their beds.
34
The house was quiet and peaceful.
35
Slowly, her eyes closed.
36
When Mrs. Darling opened her eyes again, she saw a boy at the open window.
37
He had a big, bright smile, and he was wearing clothes made of green leaves.
38
A small, bright light was flying around his head.
39
Mrs Darling jumped up.
40
Are you a person? she asked with a shaking voice.
41
The boy did not answer.
42
He turned, flew up into the night sky, and disappeared into the dark.
43
Mrs Darling ran to the window and looked out.
44
The street below was empty.
45
Then she looked down at the floor.
46
A strange object lay near the window, long and dark and flat.
47
It was a shadow.
48
The boy lost his shadow, she said to herself.
49
She folded the shadow carefully and put it in a drawer by the window.
50
She did not know what to do with it.
51
A boy's shadow in her drawer made her feel a little uncomfortable.
52
The next morning, Wendy asked about many things at breakfast.
53
Mother, did something happen last night?
54
I heard a noise at the window.
55
Yes, Mrs Darling said slowly.
56
A boy came to the nursery window.
57
A boy?
58
Wendy's eyes grew wide.
59
What kind of boy?
60
A very strange boy.
61
He flew in the air and he had a tiny light with him.
62
I know, it's Peter Pan, Wendy said happily.
63
He lives in Neverland.
64
All children know about Peter Pan, Mother.
65
Peter Pan, Mrs Darling said with a worried frown.
66
How do you know about him?
67
Every child knows Peter Pan, Wendy said.
68
He never grows up.
69
He lives on a beautiful island with fairies and mermaids and pirates.
70
John looked up from his breakfast.
71
Pirates?
72
Real pirates?
73
Oh yes, Wendy said, and wild animals and secret places and wonderful things.
74
I want to go there, Michael said.
75
Don't be silly, Michael, John said.
76
You can't fly.
77
Maybe Peter Pan can teach us, Michael said.
78
Nobody is going anywhere, Mrs. Darling said firmly.
79
Eat your breakfast, all of you. But Mother, Wendy began.
80
No more talk about Peter Pan, Mrs. Darling said.
81
Please.
82
The children said nothing more about it in the day.
83
At night, Wendy whispered to John.
84
He'll come back.
85
I'm sure of it." How do you know?
86
John whispered back.
87
He left his shadow here, Wendy said.
88
He needs it back.
89
A week later, Mr. and Mrs. Darling prepared to go out for dinner.
90
Mrs. Darling put on her beautiful white dress.
91
Mr. Darling put on his best black suit.
92
He stood in front of the mirror and tried to tie his tie.
93
The tie did not obey him.
94
I can't tie this tie properly, he said with a frown.
95
Let me help you, Mrs. Darling said, and she tied it neatly.
96
They went up to the nursery to say goodnight.
97
The children were in their beds, and Nana sat by the fireplace and watched them.
98
Be good children tonight, Mrs. Darling said, and she kissed each one.
99
Good night, Mother, the children said.
100
Mr Darling looked at Nana with a small frown.
101
He still felt uncomfortable about a dog nurse.
102
The dog stays outside tonight, he said firmly.
103
Then he tied Nana to a rope in the garden.
104
Please don't do it, Mrs Darling said.
105
I feel better when Nana is with the children.
106
She's a dog, not a person, Mr Darling said.
107
The children must learn to sleep alone.
108
They left the house and walked to the dinner party.
109
At the corner of the street, Mrs Darling looked back at the nursery window one last time.
110
The house looked quiet and peaceful.
111
In the nursery, the children lay in their beds, wide awake.
112
They talked in whispers.
113
Moonlight was shining through the window, and everything looked silver and strange.
114
Do you really think Peter Pan will come back?
115
Michael asked in a small, nervous voice.
116
I know he does, said Wendy.
117
She sat up in bed and looked out the window.
118
He lost something very important, and he must come back to find it.
119
Tonight?
120
John asked.
121
Will he really come tonight?
122
Maybe tonight, said Wendy.
123
She felt sure and brave.
124
Then we'll go to Neverland with him.
125
We'll see fairies and mermaids and pirates, and we'll have the most wonderful adventure of our lives.
126
Michael felt scared, but also excited.
127
Will he hurt us? he asked.
128
No, said Wendy.
129
Peter Pan is good and kind.
130
He helps people.
131
He fights evil pirates, and he protects the lost boys.
132
Outside in the garden, Nana pulled at her rope and barked softly.
133
She felt worried about the children.
134
She wanted to sit by the warm fireplace in the nursery, not outside in the cool night air.
135
The night grew darker and the stars came out.
136
The moon was shining, bright and full, above the empty street.
137
Nothing moved.
138
The children stayed awake.
139
They watched the window and waited for something wonderful to happen.
140
And something did happen.
141
Peter Pan came back for his shadow, and after this night, life in the Darling House was never the same again.

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.
