1
Hi, everyone.
2
I'm Elizabeth, but you can call me Ellie.
3
Not Lizzie, please.
4
And yeah, you read that right.
5
I have more than 10 siblings.
6
Wanna know how?
7
Stick around and strap on your seatbelt, cause it's gonna be one crazy rollercoaster ride.
8
My life was pretty amazing.
9
My mom and my little sister
10
Rose were my world.
11
Rose and I did everything together, even though we had a five -year age gap.
12
Rose was the funniest, and she always knew how to cheer me up when I was feeling down.
13
Look, Ellie, I'm a walrus.
14
Feed me before I get hungrier and I eat you.
15
Ellie, I have something for you.
16
Pull my finger.
17
I knew exactly what was gonna happen, but I still did, just so I could hear her laugh.
18
Since mom was always busy with work or new business ideas, I ended up being a mom to Rose.
19
Our mom loved us more than anything, but she wasted a lot of her money on failed business ideas.
20
I wish she had more time to spend with us instead.
21
One day, Mom had a fun idea and took us to work with her and handed
22
Rose a spray can, saying how she wanted to decorate her boss's car for a surprise.
23
Wait, something wasn't right.
24
Why are we doing this?
25
Mom, we could get in trouble.
26
Come on, it's gonna be fun.
27
Rose, do it.
28
Just then, I saw the security guards come out of Mom's office and they caught her.
29
Turns out, Mom had stolen money from the office and was fired and wanted to get back at her boss.
30
Mom was taken away, but her charges were lessened because her boss felt sorry for us.
31
She was going to be away for some time, but would do some community service afterwards.
32
And that's how at 14, I got put in a foster home with Rose, who was just 9, because of Mom's foolishness.
33
Of course, I was very angry with Mom, but now I had to focus on a goal.
34
Take care of Rose and do everything in my power to make sure our family was back together soon.
35
But nothing is ever as simple as it seems.
36
We were shuffled to a couple of foster homes, but I learned to just roll with it.
37
One family were legit angels, but the other ones were just in it for the money.
38
Even the house was so bad, Rose thought the water stains on the walls were drawings.
39
Since I wanted to give
40
Rose everything she could want, I started some side hustles to make some cash.
41
I did it all.
42
Dog walking, babysitting, barista, waitress, you name it.
43
You see, I was extremely smart.
44
Not just academically, but also street smart.
45
And I learned things quickly.
46
But on the day I turned 15, we were sent to a new foster home.
47
And this place changed my entire life.
48
For good, for bad, you'll find out soon enough.
49
Oh, before I forget the most important part, like and subscribe.
50
Okay, let's get back to it.
51
Our new foster family was Kate and Adam and their daughter Juliana.
52
Kate was an old friend of mom's, and she was an interior designer.
53
A freaking good one.
54
Their entire house looked like it belonged in a magazine.
55
Adam was a pediatrician and got along really well with children.
56
Juliana was a couple of years younger than me, but older than Rose, and always had the biggest smile on her face.
57
She was over the moon when we moved into her home.
58
We used to see each other when we were young, and she was always friendly with Rose.
59
I'll never forget our first night at the new foster home.
60
Ellie, you hear the footsteps?
61
Is that a ghost?
62
Come on, Rose.
63
There's no such thing as ghosts.
64
Ugh, I'll go check, okay?
65
No, don't.
66
What if it gets you?
67
I'm your big, strong sister.
68
There's no way it can get me.
69
Ah, ghost!
70
I felt my soul leaving my body.
71
It was Kate.
72
I found out the next day that she sleepwalks.
73
Oh, okay.
74
But it was kind of creepy.
75
Hey, say what you want about sleepwalkers.
76
But at least they always follow their dreams.
77
You get that?
78
Oh, I'm so funny, ain't I?
79
Yeah, you are.
80
After that day, I saw how well
81
Rose got along with Juliana.
82
She was the happiest she'd ever been, and I was happy too.
83
So I went back to focusing on my goal.
84
I wasn't at home a lot because of the part -time jobs, and I would get back home late.
85
But one night, I found Rose crying.
86
What's wrong?
87
Did something happen?
88
My tummy hurts so much, Ellie.
89
I began screaming, and Kate ran into our room.
90
We rushed her to Adam's clinic and found out it was an allergic reaction.
91
And I saw red.
92
Did you give her shellfish for dinner?
93
Didn't you see the documents before you decided to foster us?
94
How could you?
95
I'm sorry.
96
It was an honest mistake.
97
Rose, baby, I'm so sorry.
98
I didn't mean to.
99
What if something worse happened?
100
But it didn't, thanks to you.
101
Now, let Rose rest and we can head home together, okay?
102
I stayed by Rose's side the entire time.
103
And once she was fine,
104
Rose made me apologize to Kate for being so rude and told me how nice she was with her all the time.
105
She does so much for us, so much more than mom.
106
Her words made me realize that maybe I did let my emotions get the best of me.
107
So the next morning, I walked over to Kate and Adam's room to apologize, but as soon as I got to the door,
108
I noticed Kate and Juliana whispering.
109
As soon as they saw me, they went totally silent.
110
That was weird.
111
After that, I'd often see them talking like they had something to hide.
112
Sure, I was curious, but it wasn't like I really cared or anything.
113
But when Rose also joined in, I was super suspicious.
114
Hey, Rose.
115
What's going on?
116
What's with all the whispering?
117
Oh, nothing.
118
Really?
119
I saw Juliana whisper something, and then you laughed.
120
Tell me, too.
121
I want to laugh, too.
122
Or is there some huge secret?
123
It was just some dumb boy stuff.
124
You sound like a mom trying to be BFFs with her daughter.
125
See you later, alligator.
126
Trust me, there's no big secret.
127
The secret was the last thing on my mind because I was really worried about my little sis.
128
She seemed like she was drifting away from me.
129
She was spending more and more time with Juliana, and it was like she totally forgot me.
130
One time, Rose was up in Juliana's room talking all night, and the next day, when I tried to talk to Rose,
131
she totally avoided my question.
132
Gosh, Ellie, chill out.
133
You're coming off like a helicopter parent.
134
Yeah.
135
Chill, Ellie.
136
Yeah, Daddy.
137
Please chill.
138
Saying that, they both started laughing.
139
What the heck was even that?
140
I was starting to feel like Juliana might have been a bad influence on her, and I knew I had to talk about this to mom.
141
I miss you, mom.
142
Everyone's acting so weird.
143
Rose, too.
144
I can't wait for everything to get back to normal.
145
Did you find a job?
146
Can we move back in with you soon? About that.
147
No, I don't have a job yet, but I do need your help with something.
148
Could you lend me some money?
149
I need to pay back that ex -boss a little at a time, but since I don't have a job right now.
150
I did lend mom the money, but that was when I had a brilliant idea.
151
I suggested she come and work at the coffee shop with me.
152
She agreed, and it took me a couple days, but I finally convinced my boss.
153
I could spend time with her and forget about how
154
Rose was behaving at home.
155
And the boss liked how well I worked and promoted me to assistant manager as well.
156
But the minute I got back home, Kate came running and hugged me.
157
OMG, it's so late.
158
Are you mad?
159
Mad?
160
Not at all.
161
I was worried, kiddo.
162
You know Adam's out looking for you, but thank God you're all right.
163
I'll let Adam know.
164
Someone worrying about me when I was home late?
165
That was a first for me.
166
It's nothing, Kate.
167
Just some schoolwork.
168
But I appreciate you being concerned for me.
169
I'll call you from now on if I go late.
170
Pinky promise?
171
Yeah, pinky promise.
172
I didn't tell Kate and Adam about all my part -time jobs, just the coffee shop.
173
I didn't want them to worry about me working too hard.
174
Kate and Adam made me feel like a kid again.
175
Kate would drop us all off at school every day
176
and had this habit of hugging us before we went inside the school.
177
At first, I found it weird because I wasn't used to that much display of affection, but after some time, I really liked it.
178
But I did not tell Kate, cause like, come on, mom's hugging you at your school gate every single day?
179
You know.
180
It had been just two weeks with Kate and Adam, and I sometimes wish they were my real parents,
181
but I knew it was just a fantasy.
182
As my foster parents, they sure had love for Rose and me, but even if they wanted to adopt
183
Rose, they'd never consider adopting me.
184
It's hard for an older teen to get adopted, so I had to focus on getting my real family united.
185
I had to work hard,
186
save money, and give it to my mom so she could get a place to live and we could all be together.
187
But nothing ever goes according to plan, does it?
188
One day, the guidance counselor at school called me to tell me about a once -in -a -lifetime opportunity.
189
Your grades are off the charts, and there's an amazing school across town that would be perfect for someone as smart as you.
190
Not only will they let you skip a grade, but you'll have the chance of getting into the best university with a full scholarship.
191
You gotta take this opportunity, Ellie.
192
Well, that offer was something I could only dream of.
193
I couldn't take it.
194
I wasn't going to move away from Rose.
195
So, I told the teacher no. But that was just the beginning of a bad day.
196
Later that day, I got a call from the coffee shop when I was at another part -time job.
197
And boy, did my boss sound furious.
198
When I got there, however, what I saw shocked me.
199
Mom was arrested again.
200
What the heck is going on, Mom?
201
I found money missing for days at the cash register, and it turns out she was stealing the money.
202
He's lying, Ellie.
203
I didn't.
204
Do you have any proof it was actually her?
205
I shouldn't have asked, because the CCTV clearly showed
206
Mom stealing the money.
207
I couldn't believe she'd do something like this again.
208
And when my boss fired me too for bringing her in, I finally snapped.
209
What is your problem?
210
Do you know how hard I work to make our lives better for you and Rose?
211
Why can't you be a normal mother?
212
Why can't you be like Kate?
213
Don't you want to be with us?
214
Your daughters?
215
Wow.
216
Before mom could reply, she was taken away and I was frozen to the spot.
217
I did everything I could to make sure
218
Rose and I were back with mom, and this whole time, she didn't even want us.
219
I felt like my world was crashing down.
220
This is just great.
221
I didn't know what to do.
222
I was out of options.
223
But then, I decided to ask Kate and Adam to adopt
224
Rose, and I could manage on my own.
225
Rose was thriving with them.
226
I didn't want to take it away from her.
227
When I got home that night, I could hear music inside.
228
It sounded like a party.
229
Just as I was about to enter, Kate stepped outside.
230
Ellie, you made a pinky promise, girl.
231
Is everything all right, honey?
232
And that's when the dam broke.
233
I told Kate everything that had happened, and how my mom didn't want me and Rose.
234
Kate, I know teens are hard to raise, so I'll just leave.
235
Please, just take care of Rose and adopt her.
236
Ellie, take a deep breath.
237
I know it was a tough day for you, but never think that we would let you go.
238
We love you.
239
Adam and I saw how much you love your sister, so there's no way we would ever separate the two of you.
240
We are adopting you both, and Juliana and I love you.
241
Rose looks up to you so much.
242
Don't forget that.
243
OMG, what?
244
This is too much to take in.
245
Um, but lately, I feel like a third wheel when I'm at home.
246
All the whispering, it's like Juliana and Rose, they always have their own thing going on.
247
I guess she likes Juliana more now.
248
Yep, because they had their reason for that.
249
Come on in.
250
Surprise!
251
It's my birthday.
252
I didn't even remember it.
253
Yeah, because you worked too hard.
254
So Juliana and I decided to throw you the awesomest birthday party ever.
255
Do you like it?
256
I wanted the.. perfect birthday party for my big sister.
257
I, I love it.
258
Thank you so much.
259
I was stuck in the past trying to keep my old family together.
260
I missed out on how amazing my new family was, but not anymore.
261
After all the paperwork was settled, it was official.
262
We were Kate and Adam's daughters.
263
I have an incredible family who adores me.
264
Yeah, sure, we have fights and arguments, but the love, it's strong.
265
Oh, and I took up the offer at the school across town after the four of them forced me to,
266
after Rose assured me that she was going to be more than fine.

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。
