One afternoon, Elephant said, It sure is quiet around here today.
4
Monkey wiggled her ears.
5
Maybe too quiet, she said.
6
Just then, cousin Mimi and her baby stopped by.
7
Good news, said Mimi.
8
My mashed banana pie won first prize in the Yum Yum Baking Contest.
9
Ooh, that is good news, said Monkey, clapping her hands.
10
What's the prize? asked Elephant.
11
A cart full of coconuts, said Mimi.
12
Nice, said Monkey.
13
Yes, said Mimi, but I must pick them up at tasty cooking school.
14
Too far to take my babies.
15
Not too far for me, said Baby 1.
16
Not far for me, said Baby 2.
17
Not me, Teehee, said Baby 3.
18
If only I had a babysitter, said cousin Mimi.
19
Monkey looked at Elephant.
20
It's really too quiet around here, she said.
21
We will babysit for you, Mimi.
22
We will? said Elephant.
23
Of course we will, said Monkey.
24
Right, Elephant?
25
She gave him a little poke.
26
Hmm, said Elephant. Of course.
27
Oh, thank you, monkey and elephant, said cousin Mimi.
28
I'll bring the babies over tomorrow after breakfast.
29
Mmm, I like breakfast, said baby one.
30
Mmm, and lunch, said baby two.
31
Mmm, and snacks, teehee, said baby three.
32
Mimi and the babies waved bye-bye and headed for home.
33
Monkey, said Elephant, have you ever babysat before?
34
Monkey shrugged.
35
No, not really. Have you?
36
No, never, said Elephant.
37
Well then, best friend, said Monkey, here we go again.
38
Together on another adventure.
39
Chapter 2 Some Rules Monkey, said Elephant the next morning, do you think babysitting will be hard?
40
Monkey scampered up his trunk and settled behind one big ear.
41
For babysitting, she said, we need some rules.
42
What rules? asked Elephant.
43
Monkey scratched her head and looked down the path.
44
I will tell you when I know, she said, scrambling down Elephant's trunk.
45
They're here!
46
We want to play, shouted Baby One.
47
Play with you, shouted Baby Two.
48
Play with me.
49
Tee-hee, shouted Baby Three.
50
Mimi blew kisses and hurried away.
51
The babies ran around Elephant.
52
They grabbed his tail, squeezed his ears, and jumped rope with his trunk.
53
Ouch! cried Elephant.
54
Rule number one, said Monkey.
55
Play, but not too rough, okay?
56
Okay, they all agreed.
57
I want to race now, hollered Baby One.
58
Race fast, shouted Baby Two.
59
Race me!
60
Teehee, squealed Baby Three.
61
No, me, me, me, they all shouted.
62
Quiet, please, said Monkey.
63
Rule number two.
64
No, me, me, me.
65
She drew a line in the dust.
66
Everyone starts here at the same time, okay?
67
Okay, the babies agreed.
68
Now listen for elephant's trumpet, said monkey.
69
Wah, wah, wah, elephant blew.
70
Go!
71
The babies raced back and forth, back and forth, until...
72
Too hard, said Baby 1.
73
Give me water, said Baby 2.
74
I'm hungry, said Baby 3 without a teehee.
75
Uh-oh, said Elephant.
76
Are they whining?
77
I think so, said Monkey.
78
Is there a rule for it?
79
Monkey held up three fingers.
80
Rule number three, snack now, nap later.
81
Elephant set down cups of water.
82
Monkey gave the baby some banana chips.
83
They nibbled and yawned, nibbled and yawned.
84
And when you finish eating, said Monkey, it's nap time.
85
But by then, they were already snuggled up asleep.
86
Ahoo, elephant yawned, babysitting, sure is hard work.
87
Monkey closed her eyes.
88
Yes, it sure is.

Übungstipps

Um das Beste aus dieser Lektion herauszuholen, empfehlen wir Ihnen, shadowing einzusetzen. Hören Sie sich den Dialog aus der Geschichte an und versuchen Sie, den Sprechern so genau wie möglich zu folgen. Achten Sie auf die Geschwindigkeit und den Tonfall der Charaktere. Wenn die Sprecher eine Kinderfreundlichkeit und Begeisterung zeigen, versuchen Sie, diese Emotionen in Ihrer eigenen Stimme nachzuahmen. Diese Technik, die als shadowspeak bekannt ist, hilft Ihnen nicht nur, Ihre Aussprache zu verbessern, sondern auch Ihr Selbstvertrauen beim Englisch sprechen üben zu stärken.

Sehen Sie sich den Abschnitt über die Regeln für das Babysitting an und formulieren Sie Ihre eigenen Regeln, während Sie laut sprechen. Wiederholen Sie jede Zeile mehrmals, während Sie darauf achten, den Rhythmus beizubehalten. Diese Methode des Englisch Shadowing wird Ihnen helfen, in der englischen Sprache flüssiger zu werden und sich beim Sprechen sicherer zu fühlen.

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.
