Murder She Wrote in here but for just those of you who haven't here's a quick synopsis.
107
It was a mystery of the week show.
108
It all took place in a sleepy little town called Cabot Cove, Maine.
109
And sleepy is really the only adjective you can use to describe a town with that much murder going on.
110
Like, they were just not paying attention at all.
111
Like, I looked it up.
112
Cabot Cove had a population of 3 ,500 people.
113
And approximately one person a week was murdered.
114
that show went on for 12 seasons so 264 out of 3 ,500 people were murdered in Cabot Cove,
115
Maine and I don't know why we don't talk about this more Cabot Cove,
116
Maine is the most dangerous city in all of America
117
and and the kicker of it is the police department did not solve a single one of those crimes
118
not a they went 0 for 264 a 70 year old retired author was the only one keeping
119
that town together she was the only one the only one
120
so that i think started my fascination with crime and then
121
and then during COVID I started watching a lot of crime documentaries on Netflix
122
and I don't know how many other people went down
123
that rabbit hole but I went in a little too hard too fast okay
124
and I messed up my whole Netflix algorithm you know
125
it it got to the point I started getting targeted ads on my phone from Lowe's and Home Depot.
126
Just asking if I need rope or duct tape, you know?
127
And they would bring that to my house.
128
I didn't even have to leave.
我甚至根本不用離開。
129
Google Maps, just from Salt Lake City here to Provo's, Google Maps showed me five different places where I could dispose of a body.

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。
