1
So this loser would do anything to not have to get a job.
2
Now the guy's name is Jean-Claude,
3
and Jean-Claude is around 20 when this story starts,
4
and he's a med student studying in Lyon, France.
5
And Jean-Claude is pretty much a model student.
6
Like, he's doing really well in school.
7
But then one day, the worst thing happens to him.
8
He's in the middle of taking a bunch of his first year finals when his girlfriend breaks up with him.
9
And this is devastating for Jean-Claude.
10
He gets all depressed, and in fact,
11
he takes it so badly that he stops showing up for his exams altogether.
12
And even when he's later given another opportunity to retake them, he never does.
13
And because he didn't show up for his exams,
14
Jean-Claude fails the year, which means he can't move on to the second year of med school.
15
And to make it worse,
16
his parents basically pay his bills and finance his life,
17
and he can't bring himself to tell them the truth.
18
So, he lies to them.
19
And he tells his parents and all his friends that he actually passed the exams,
20
and that he's now in his second year of med school.
21
And from that moment on, he just keeps lying.
22
He never passes his first year exams,
23
but he keeps going back to campus pretending to be a med student.
24
He hangs around campus all day,
25
he attends classes here and there with his friends,
26
but he never actually takes any tests.
27
And no one knows he's faking it,
28
so he keeps lying to everyone.
29
And a few years pass,
30
and eventually Jean-Claude's classmates graduate, and he doesn't.
31
But he just lies and tells everyone that he graduated too.
32
And not long after that,
33
he lies and claims that he landed this big,
34
prestigious job as a medical researcher working for the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland and everyone is all impressed.
35
And around the same time,
36
he reconnects with his college girlfriend,
37
the one who broke up with him.
38
Her name is Florence.
39
He tells Florence that he's this big shot medical researcher working at the WHO,
40
and she thinks it's cool.
41
And so they end up getting back together.
42
And eventually, they get married and they move to Switzerland.
43
And to keep this lie going,
44
every morning, he leaves the house,
45
pretending to go to work at the WHO,
46
and he'll spend the whole day sitting in the WHO building parking lot.
47
And sometimes he'll walk into the lobby and pick up magazines or brochures,
48
and then he'll take them home,
49
so it looks like he really works there.
50
He even tells his family that he's traveling abroad for conferences and seminars.
51
But in reality, he just parks his car at the airport,
52
stays in a nearby hotel,
53
and then quietly returns home after a few days.
54
And he keeps this lie going with everyone.
55
His wife, his extended family, his friends.
56
Now, obviously, he can lie about having a job all he wants,
57
but he still needs money to pay his bills.
58
So he decides to start scamming people.
59
And who better to start scamming than his own family?
60
So Jean-Claude tells some of his relatives that because of his position at the WHO,
61
he has access to some special investment program with high returns and that he can invest their money for them.
62
So his parents, his relatives,
63
and even his in-laws all start handing money over to him.
64
He even starts having an affair with this side chick,
65
and he convinces his side chick to hand over about 900,000 francs for him to invest,
66
or about 170,000 US dollars in today's money.
67
So now, Jean-Claude has access to a lot of funds.
68
And of course, he isn't really investing this money.
69
He's keeping it for himself.
70
He mostly uses it to maintain the fake upper middle class lifestyle that he's been pretending to live for years.
71
Cause you know, he's got to make it look like he has this high paying job at the WHO.
72
And he keeps this con going for a long time,
73
pretending to go to work,
74
pretending to travel for conferences, pretending to be successful.
75
But then things start to get a little complicated for Jean-Claude.
76
At some point, his father-in-law wants to buy a car.
77
So he asks for some of his investment money back.
78
And Jean-Claude, he doesn't actually have a lump sum of money to give him.
79
He spent it all.
80
But he realizes that if he doesn't give him anything,
81
other investors might get suspicious.
82
So he decides the only way out of this predicament is to get rid of his father-in-law.
83
So one day he's at home and his father-in-law is there and he waits for the right moment and then
84
he allegedly pushes his father-in-law down the stairs and unfortunately the poor father-in-law doesn't survive.
85
And later Jean-Claude tells police that his father-in-law must have accidentally fell and police they don't find any evidence that says otherwise.
86
So that's what they go with.
87
And the death is ruled an accident.
88
So not only did Jean-Claude just get away with murder,
89
but he ends up making even more money off of it.
90
Because then his mother-in-law later sells off some of her late husband's property,
91
and she hands Jean-Claude around 1.3 million francs to invest for her.
92
Which means 1.3 million francs goes right into Jean-Claude's pocket.
93
And so he just continues on conning and deceiving people.
94
And more years pass.
95
But then all this money he scammed starts to run out.
96
And some of his victims,
97
they're asking for their money back.
98
And he has nothing left to give them.
99
But that's not the only problem he's dealing with.
100
People in his life are noticing some inconsistencies with Jean-Claude claiming that he works at the WHO.
101
And they're starting to question him about it.
102
Now, he's been lying to people for years,
103
so he always has an excuse ready to give them.
104
But deep down, he knows it's only a matter of time before everyone discovers
105
that he's been lying about his life for nearly two decades.
106
And that is when he decides
107
that it would be better for his family to die than to discover what a liar he really is.
108
So he goes to a local gun store and he buys some ammunition
109
and a silencer for his rifle and an electric stun wand.
110
And then one night, while his wife Florence is asleep beside him,
111
Jean-Claude picks up a rolling pin and then pow,
112
pow, he starts beating her with it until she's no longer moving.
113
Then he gets his gun and blam,
114
blam, he shoots his two kids.
115
After that, he drives over to his parents' house and he shoots them too.
116
Then he drives all the way to Paris to see his side chick,
117
same side chick that he conned into investing with him years before.
118
So he meets up with her and he says he wants to take her out to dinner.
119
But instead of driving her to a nice restaurant,
120
he drives her toward a remote area in the woods.
121
And he gets her out of the car,
122
and suddenly, he sprays her in the eyes with tear gas.
123
Then, he zaps her with that electric stun wand he bought.
124
But then, side chick starts begging him not to kill her.
125
And at the last moment,
126
for some reason, he decides to stop,
127
and he lets her go.
128
After that, he drives back home,
129
and he decides the only thing he can do from here is unalive himself.
130
So he takes a bunch of sleeping pills.
131
Then he pours gasoline all around the house,
132
and he sets the place on fire,
133
and he lays down inside,
134
hoping that he'll pass out and the fire will kill him.
135
Until.
136
Until a few minutes later,
137
firefighters show up, And they manage to find Jean-Claude,
138
and they rescue him from the house,
139
and he ends up surviving.
140
So, after he recovers in the hospital, bam, Jean-Claude is arrested.
141
Here's a picture of him.
142
And later, he goes to trial,
143
he's found guilty, and he gets sentenced to life in prison.

什麼是跟讀法?

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
