Hey, I'm Jenny, and I feel helpless, really.
2
I mean, most things in my life are fine.
3
I have a great family, awesome friends, and amazing dog.
4
There's just one major problem.
5
I am late for everything.
6
I know the only one to blame for it is myself, but I honestly don't know what to do.
7
So it's never a problem when you're a kid.
8
Your parents take you places and back home.
9
At least it has been like this with me.
10
But the good thing is that my mom and dad have always valued my independence, and I love it.
11
When I hear my friends talk about their parents controlling them all the time, I can't relate at all.
12
My parents care for me, but at the same time, they let me make my own decisions and choices so that I learn to control my life.
13
And you know what?
14
I guess it works.
15
I'm 16 now, and I think I learned to figure out a lot of stuff on my own.
16
So moving to college, for example, won't be a huge problem for me.
17
The only thing that I constantly fail at is getting to places on time.
18
I don't think I can remember when was the last time I managed to catch our school bus, so I usually have to take the public one.
19
More than that, I don't really remember the time I was walking to the bus stop as I'm running all the time.
20
Well, that's not the worst part.
21
I mean, it's not even the bad part.
22
Problems start when I get to school.
23
Different teachers react to students being late in a different way, as you guys know.
24
But the worst happens on Wednesdays when our first class is chemistry.
25
Our chemistry teacher, Mrs. Rodney, goes just crazy when someone's even a minute late to her class.
26
So imagine being yelled at every time you come in after the bell.
27
I still know it's all my fault, but a couple of times, she just refused to let me in and doubled my homework for the next week.
28
I guess that's a bit too much.
29
She says I'm being disrespectful and rude, but I never mean anything like that.
30
In fact, I try really hard to make it on time.
31
Once, we had a drama project, and actually, I've been acting quite a lot since I was a kid, so I knew I was the most experienced actress in our group, so I was quite sure our teacher was gonna give me the main part.
32
And he was, but guess what?
33
I was half an hour late for our first class of the year, and he gave the main role to another girl.
34
And when this was happening, I was chatting to my friends in the schoolyard, not even thinking the class had started.
35
My new habit was getting out of hand.
36
I've tried a lot of different ways to fix this.
37
First of all, I tried to understand what's wrong with me.
38
When do I lose so much time, I thought.
39
And I figured out that it's a couple of minutes here, a couple of minutes there, and you're running late already.
40
No matter how early I wake up, I still manage to lose all the time I have.
41
And it's not only about mornings and being late for school.
42
Every time my friends and I go out, I am super late.
43
If we're going to the movies, you can be sure I'll be awkwardly sneaking between the rows 15 minutes into the film.
44
I even think my friends don't invite me as often as they used to because they don't want to be waiting again.
45
But the worst part about this situation is that this problem gets more and more serious.
46
I think it happens like this quite often.
47
You start with being a couple of minutes late.
48
Then it's 5, 10, 20, and then you find yourself leaving your house the very minute you're supposed to enter the class.
49
Ouch.
50
The worst thing happened about a month ago.
51
My friend Hannah and her family were moving to another state.
52
We used to hang out a lot with Hannah and two of our friends, Jenny and Mike.
53
So the three of us decided to see Hannah off at the airport.
54
We made a huge poster with our pictures and wishes because, well, no one knows when we'll see her again.
55
I set my alarm clock early in the morning, and I actually woke up, had my breakfast, and then this thing happened again.
56
In a blink of an eye, I found myself running late to the bus stop.
57
Then the bus got stuck in traffic, and I lost 15 more minutes.
58
Jenny texted me asking where I was, but I was too embarrassed to answer, and I thought I'd make it.
59
Then I couldn't find the right entrance at the airport, then the security check, and then...
60
I found Jenny and Mike standing in the departure zone with Hannah and her parents gone.
61
I didn't make it.
62
I was late again.
63
I talked to Hannah after that, and she said it was fine, but I knew it wasn't.
64
I might not get to see one of my best friends in years, and I missed my chance to say goodbye.
65
It was devastating, but at least there was something useful to it as I finally realized that this problem is just destroying my life.
66
I'm really working on it now.
67
The thing I recently learned is that if you want control over your life, you need to get stuff in order.
68
Not just time management, but everything.
69
Also, I'm thinking of getting a summer job when the school year ends to earn some money to visit Hannah.
70
Hope I don't get fired because of being late all the time.
71
If you have any advice for me, please share it in the comments.
72
And I guess you better pause the video now and get to stuff you were planning

练习小贴士
要提高你的英语口语和听力能力，建议采用shadowing（跟读）技术。观看这个视频时，可以尝试以下方法：
- 尽量模仿Jenny的语调和语速。注意她在讲述故事时的情感表达，这将帮助你提高自己的发音和语调。
- 暂停视频，在关键短语后跟读两到三次。这能帮助你加深对新词汇的理解，并增强记忆。
- 与朋友一起观看视频并进行讨论，分享你们的经验，增强口语练习的趣味性。
- 对照视频的文字稿，找出常见的表达和用法，试着在自己的生活中运用这些短语，增强社交能力。
- 利用看YouTube学英语的方式，定期观看类似的视频，持续扩展你的词汇量和表达能力。
通过这种方式进行英语口语练习，特别是结合雅思口语练习中的真实对话场景，将使学习变得更加有效和有趣！
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。
