Music Once upon a time,
2
in a land far, far away, lived an amazingly beautiful girl.
3
Cinderella's mother had passed away a very long time ago.
4
This is why her father had brought her up.
5
One day when Cinderella's father remarried, her life had changed dramatically.
6
Her father's new wife and her two stepsisters had moved to Cinderella's house.
7
Since the first time they met, her stepmother couldn't stand the sight of Cinderella.
8
She and her two daughters were extremely jealous of Cinderella's beauty and kind heart.
9
Cinderella's stepsisters were not beautiful as she was, and besides they were rude and spoilt.
10
One day, due to work reasons, Cinderella's father had to leave on a long journey.
11
And that was the time when Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters turned her life into a living hell.
12
While Cinderella was in the garden talking to her very beloved birds, her stepmother approached her.
13
As of today, you will live in the attic.
14
You will do all the housework.
15
Also, I don't want you walking around in these clothes.
16
Cinderella didn't know what to say.
17
Helplessly, she did what she was told.
18
She packed her stuff and moved to the attic.
19
After that day, Cinderella began to do all the housework all on her own.
20
She used to get very tired, but neither her stepmother or her stepsisters felt sorry for her.
21
Wipe the floor again!
22
Can't you see it's still dusty?
23
You haven't done the laundry.
24
I have nothing proper to wear.
25
Cinderella had no friends other than the mice and the birds that used to come to her window.
26
Due to the cold, secretly at night time, Cinderella would go downstairs to the chimney and warm up near the dying fire and fall asleep.
27
As the days went on by, one day in the town an announcement was made by the kingdom.
28
Our prince will be holding a ball at the castle.
29
All the girls who are eligible for marriage are invited to this ball.
30
As soon as the stepsisters heard about this invitation, they ran home and told their mother.
31
You will be the most beautiful girls at the ball.
32
The prince must pick one of you.
33
That way we will all live in the palace, right, mother?
34
We must get some gowns and shoes for you girls.
35
Move along, we're going shopping.
36
The stepmother and stepsisters left the house.
37
Hearing all that was talked about, with a sad face, Cinderella stood there and watched.
38
The preparations went on for days.
39
Both the stepsisters had their gowns sewn.
40
Every day they would go in front of the mirror and tell themselves, We will be the most beautiful girls in the world.
41
Finally the big day had arrived.
42
The stepsisters had woken up very early that morning, and so they called Cinderella.
43
Cinderella, Cinderella, hurry and come here.
44
Where have you been?
45
Hurry and prepare our bath.
46
All day Cinderella helped her stepsisters get ready.
47
Hey, brush it gently.
48
You're going to pull it out.
49
Towards the evening, they had finished all their preparations for the ball.
50
You look beautiful, girls.
51
Just beautiful.
52
Cinderella built up all her courage and asked her stepmother.
53
Can I come to the ball too, please? Who?
54
You?
55
You??
56
Yes.
57
Well, it says all of the young girls can come.
58
Is this your dress for the ball?
59
The Prince is looking for a wife, not for a maid, my dear.
60
Come on, girls.
61
Let's not be late for the ball, and you make sure that you have finished all the chores before you go to the vet.
62
Her stepmother and her stepsisters made their way to the castle.
63
And all on her own at home, Cinderella began to cry.
64
Why can't I go to the castle too?
65
If my parents were here, none of this would have happened.
66
Right at that moment, a very bright light appeared.
67
At first, Cinderella did not understand what it was.
68
She was staring at the light.
69
Then suddenly, a beautiful fairy appeared in the middle of the light.
70
My beautiful Cinderella, don't cry.
71
You too will go to the ball at the castle.
72
Cinderella could not believe her eyes.
73
She asked in shock.
74
Can I go?
75
Just look at me. Do not worry.
76
I'm here to help you.
77
Now bring me a pumpkin and seven mice.
78
Cinderella could not understand why she wanted these things, but still she did as she was told.
79
First she went to the kitchen and grabbed a big pumpkin.
80
Then she went to the attic, got her mice friends and went down again.
81
With her magic wand, the fairy turned the pumpkin into a beautiful horse carriage.
82
Then she turned to the mice, one of them turned into the driver, and the other six of them turned into beautiful white horses.
83
Amazed as she was, Cinderella was looking at the horse carriage.
84
The fairy turned to her.
85
When she touched her with the magic wand, Cinderella's old dress turned into a beautiful ball gown.
86
and the slippers on her feet turned into beautiful glass shoes.
87
I look like a princess.
88
Now it is time to go to the ball, but don't forget, you must be home when the clock strikes twelve, because by then everything will turn back to what they were.
89
Cinderella listened to the fairy very carefully.
90
Then she hopped on her carriage and started to ride towards the castle.
91
Her mesmerising carriage stopped in front of the castle.
92
When Cinderella entered through the grand doors to the ballroom, all the eyes were on her.
93
She looked so beautiful and elegant.
94
Her stepmother and even her stepsisters could not stop looking at this beautiful lady.
95
They of course could not recognise her.
96
Suddenly the prince appeared on the stairs.
97
Cinderella really stood out amongst all the young women at the ball.
98
The prince fell in love with the first sight of this beautiful young woman.
99
With everyone watching curiously, he began walking down the stairs and slowly approached her.
100
The stepsisters were very excited because the prince was coming towards them.
101
Oh, he's coming to me.
102
No, he's coming to me.
103
But the prince passed on by and stopped in front of Cinderella.
104
Most beautiful young lady, would you please allow this dance to me?
105
Cinderella nodded politely.
106
The prince and Cinderella began to dance amongst the curious looks of all the invitees.
107
Cinderella was so captivated by the music and the dance, she felt like as if she and the Prince were the only ones in the ballroom.
108
They danced non-stop all night long.
109
Of course, Cinderella could not feel how time had passed.
110
At some point, the big clock caught her eye.
111
It was almost midnight.
112
Right at that moment, Cinderella remembered the fairy's warning.
113
You must be home when the clock strikes twelve, because by then everything will turn back to what they were.
114
With a panic, Cinderella began to run and left the prince behind.
115
When she was running down the stairs of the castle, she dropped one of her shoes, but she did not even have time to go back and collect it.
116
When she ran further, the clock struck midnight and everything turned back to what they were before.
117
When the prince went out after her, he spotted her shoe on the stairs.
118
Find the owner of this shoe, even if you have to get all the girls in the kingdom to try it.
119
Just find her.
120
Cinderella came home breathless and went straight up to the attic.
121
She started thinking about the night she had with the prince.
122
She knew she had no chance, but still, she had fallen in love with him.
123
It was almost impossible for the prince to find her, and even if he did, he would never recognise her.
124
The prince's men went door to door to every house in the kingdom, and looked for the young girl who owned this shoe.
125
But the shoe did not fit any of these girls.
126
In the end, the prince's men came by Cinderella's house.
127
Cinderella was very happy to see the king's carriage in front of the house.
128
Right when she was about to leave her room, her stepmother appeared at the door.
129
And where do you think you are going?
130
You want to try the shoe too?
131
With a sarcastic laugh, the stepmother locked the door to the attic.
132
No, please stop!
133
Open the door, please!
134
How pathetic!
135
What would the prince have in common with you?
136
The men first let the old skinny sister try the shoe, but it was too small for her feet.
137
Look how beautifully it fit my foot!
138
Then the younger chubby sister tried the shoe, but her chubby foot did not even get in the shoe.
139
Maybe if we tried it on my other part?
140
Whatever they did, it just would not work.
141
Finally, Cinderella's last try was to run to the window, but it was too high.
142
So she began crying.
143
Seeing her crying, her mice friends came close to her.
144
My stepmom locked me in.
145
She must have the key.
146
One of the mice slipped underneath the door and ran downstairs.
147
The stepmother was at the door with the prince's men.
148
Why don't you come tomorrow?
149
Today they are a little tired.
150
Their feet must be swollen.
151
The mouse jumped on the stepmother's skirt and snatching the keys out of her pocket, ran upstairs.
152
He slipped the keys under the door.
153
Cinderella was very happy when she saw the key.
154
Opening the door, she ran down as fast as she could.
155
How did you get out?
156
Please stop, don't go.
157
I want to try the shoe too.
158
The stepmother and her two daughters started to laugh hysterically.
159
Please shush!
160
It is the prince's orders that every girl in the kingdom must try the shoe.
161
When Cinderella tried the shoe on, everybody was in shock because it fitted her perfectly.
162
Young lady, are you the owner of this shoe?
163
Cinderella nodded to confirm.
164
Please come to the palace with us.
165
Cinderella went to the castle with the prince's men, and they took her in front of the prince.
166
Right when he looked in her eyes, the prince knew it was her who danced with him that night.
167
He held her hands.
168
I finally found you, my princess.
169
Would you marry me?
170
With teary eyes from happiness, she accepted the prince's offer.
171
they got married and lived happily ever after

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
