1
There’s this girl in my school and she’s really one of the popular girls.
2
And it was her birthday and she  was hosting a party.
3
So she went around to everybody that she knew and she gave them invitations.
4
While was watching her give the invitations I was like, “Yea I know she’s not gonna come to me.” So then it was lunchtime and I sat down and then all of a sudden I saw her walking up to me and I was like, “Oh is she gonna ask me?” “Please, please let her ask me.” “I really want to go to this party.” She handed me this envelope.
5
So I opened it and then it says, “You’re invited to this party.” And I was like, “Oh my gosh, I’m actually invited to her party.
6
I was so excited that day.
7
Like in class I was excited thinking about what I’m gonna wear, what hairstyle I’m gonna do.
8
This school day ended and then I just had to rush and do homework cause the party started a hour later.
9
And then I went in my closet, took out my clothes, mended my hair, took a shower and everything like that to get ready for the party.
10
I ran out of the house and I walked there.
11
It took like 5 minutes.
12
When I got there I didn’t even see any rides.
13
I didn’t hear music.
14
I didn’t see any balloons or nothing was decorated.
15
It was just dark inside the whole house.
16
I was thinking to myself, “Wait did she ,like, try to ditch me, did she prank me, was she trying to fool me?” I wanted to make sure that I’m at the right house so I looked at the invitation again and that was her house number.
17
So I looked up at the house and it said that.
18
So I was like, you know what, maybe she did try to ditch me, maybe she did try to fool me, maybe she did try to prank me.
19
So I ran back to the house and started crying  laying on the bed.
20
Like I had all these emotions in me.
21
Like I was sad, mad, tired, frustrated.
22
I just had to let it out that day.
23
So the next morning came.
24
I woke up and actually didn’t feel like going to school that day cause I didn’t even want to see her face.
25
I said to myself, “She maybe thinks that I can never be popular.
26
Maybe that’s why she didn’t invite me.” I told my mom everything that happened so then, she was like, “It’s okay, honey, but you have to go to school today.
27
You don’t want to miss any work.” So I was like, “Yeah, Mom, you’re right.
28
I should really go to school.” That day I just went in.
29
Everybody just stared at me.
30
And in my head I was thinking, “Why are they doing this?” But then I just ignored them.
31
I went to all my periods in school.
32
And I just forgot about it.
33
And, that’s how it ended.

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
