Don't wanna talk about it.

Teenage!

Look it out in the air.
10
Race 3!
11
This is the day my life went from good to better to best to worst.
12
Confused?
13
You'll understand in a minute.
14
Let's start here.
15
I'm Sharon Spitz.
16
And this is my school.
17
Yeah?
18
These are my comrades.
19
Thank you.
20
And there I am.
21
So, anybody get a date for the dance and not tell me?
22
I'd ask someone. But...
23
I can't dance.
24
It's true.
25
He can't.
26
I've known Connor since we were in diapers.
27
He wore cloth.
28
'Cause he was allergic to the other kind.
29
The kind I was wearing.
30
He's put up with me ever since.
31
Wait a minute, Connor.
32
You can't dance or you won't dance.
33
Uh, a little of both.
34
I'm still waiting for Alden Jones to ask me.
35
You know, I don't get it.
36
You have a mouth, don't you?
37
You should use it.
38
What's with you two anyway?
39
Your combined passivity is so not inspiring.
40
Maria Wong.
41
She's always telling it like it is, which is sometimes bad, but mostly good.
42
On top of that, she's got guts.
43
She parachutes?
44
Helleskies?
45
Rock climbs?
46
You name it, she'll do it.
47
And drag me along too!
48
That's Nina Harper, my least favorite person in the entire wide universe.
49
She's mean and snobby with her perfectly fake red hair and, well, I don't want to stink to her level here, but believe it or not, we were friends up until grade two.
50
When she was still a brunette.
51
Meow.
52
Meow.
53
Meow.
54
Meow.
55
But then someone mysteriously chopped off all her dolls' heads.
56
And she blamed me.
57
DARREN!
58
How could you?
59
How could you?
60
It didn't matter that I was innocent.
61
She never forgave me.
62
Oh, Alden Jones in person?
63
Oh, sh - It looks like Alden's finally gonna ask me to dance on Saturday.
64
Can I borrow your lip gloss?
65
Hi!
66
Huh?
67
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Mrs. Sharon Spitz -Jones.
68
Or is hyphenating too clunky?
69
Hey!
70
I know.
71
What about Dr. Sharon and Dr. Alden Jones?
72
That's good, right?
73
Of course, that's assuming he passes his boards.
74
Hi.
75
Mind if I join you? So, uh...
76
I was thinking...
77
The disco decorations are supposed to be really cool on Saturday.
78
I thought maybe you'd want to see it.
79
with me At the dance.
80
When I'm old and look back on my life, This is definitely gonna be up there with my most super thrilling moments.
81
Oh yeah!
82
Woohoo!
83
Who's the coolest?
84
That's right, that's me!
85
Uh huh, oh yeah!

88
I'm in!

91
Did you fall off your bed again?
92
That's my mom the therapist.
93
Means well, love her dearly doesn't get it.
94
I knew something was up the second she walked in.
95
She had that fake cheery smile on.
96
The one she always wears when she's about to employ reverse psychology.
97
Honey, great news.
98
Remember when we signed you up for braces in sixth grade to fix your whole wisdom teeth situation?
99
Well, Dr. Hertz's office finally called.
100
They have an opening today.
101
No way!
102
Don't worry, honey.
103
It's only for a couple of years.
104
Years, years, years, years.
105
- Yeah.
106
- Okay, Princess, ready to rock and roll?
107
Thank you.
108
Okay, Princess, you gotta try to keep that tongue out of my way.
109
No biting.
110
Why is my mouth so hot?
111
Just the power out.
112
Ready to see your beautiful brackets?
113
Do I have to?
114
Just wait till you get the headgear.
115
Adam, what are you doing?
116
You were in my way and I'm hungry.
117
We just ate!
118
I got a big meat tomorrow.
119
I can't wrestle on an empty stomach.
120
Honey, I've got three children to feed.
121
Oh, sis.
122
Sorry about the way you look.
123
That's Adam, my brother.
124
I'm sorry about the way he looks.
125
Just so you know, he recently had a growth spurt.
126
He wasn't born like that.
127
I can't go out with Olden looking like this.
128
Why?
129
Why?
130
Why?
131
Hey!
132
Hey!
133

134
Ah, bro, I'm craving carbs.
135
We had salmon for dinner.
136
Oh, man, so not enough.
137

147
Was your phone off the hook?
148
No!
149
Adam and Tony are meeting at the Fry Hut!
150
But we just had dinner.
151
Mom, I said I think I'm hearing people talking in my mouth!
152
My mouth!
153
Here, why don't you sit down and free your mind of those tight, confining braces.
154
Hm.
155
First visit free of charge.
156
Maria, there you are!
157
Guess what?
158
I decided I'm going to the dance this weekend.
159
Last night I had this nightmare that I was really old, like almost 20, and I'd never been to a school dance.
160
Cut to the chase, please.
161
Could you teach me a few moves?
162
I don't do dances.
163
Please.
164
Okay, it all starts with a rocking motion.
165
Back and forth.
166
Back and forth.
167
Uh...
168
- Yeah.
169
Sharon?
170
Mama Mia!
171
Too bad it couldn't wait till tomorrow.
172
What difference would it make?
173
Today's picture day!
174
Ouch!
175
- - What are you doing?
176
Nothing.
177
Nothing!
178
I'm OK.
179
Oh, hi.
180
What's wrong?
181
Uh, I just.. never mind.
182
Oh my god, Sharon Spitz got braces?
183
Do they hurt?
184
Yeah.
185
They really hurt.
186
Ugh, I just hate pain.
187
Well then, you're lucky you don't need them.
188
I know.
189
I'm lucky about a lot of things.
190
Um, has Alden seen them yet?
191
No, why?
192
I just hope that he'll still go to the dance with you.
193
I mean, you know how picky guys can be.
194
See ya!
195
Ready to face the camera?
196
Mm -hmm.
197
Cool.
198
Thank you.
199
Hey, are you alright?
200
Mm -hmm.
201
So, we still doing the dance thing Saturday night?
202
Great.
203
I guess I'll pick you up at your house around 7 :30.
204
I can't wait.
205
Don't forget my brow!
206
Next!
207
Thank you.
208
A frown is just a smile turned upside down.
209
Come on, let's see your real smile, huh?
210
That's all you got for me, beautiful?
211
Come on, I know you can do better.
212
Say cheese ball.
213
I'm waiting.
214
Tick.
215
Doc.
216
Doug.
217
I might just have to bring out Smiley the puppet to cheer you up.
218
You broke my camera!
219
Good one, Brace Face!
220
Grace Face?
221
- Dr. Hertz!
222
I really need to talk to you.
223
Do you have an appointment?
224
It's an emergency.
225
Okay, well this better be good.
226
We've got to get these things off.
227
Strange things have been happening.
228
Yesterday I heard people talking.
229
From inside my mouth!
230
I'm afraid you're gonna have to see another doctor for that.
231
Isn't your mother in that line of business? But you don't understand.
232
Okay, well, I'll see you in a couple of weeks for your tightening.
233
Ah...
234
Connor, I know this whole dance plan is supposed to save you from a future of loneliness, but.. um...
235
We could be making things worse.
236
How about this?
237
Keep working on it Connor.
238
I'll check in on you later Make sure you're not wearing rayon
239
You think this is gonna work?
240
Well, it's just step one in plan A.
241
What's plan A again?
242
Get the guy.
243
And plan B?
244
Get the garbage.
245
We are so lucky Nina.
246
Alden is so adorable!
247
You know...
248
Wearing braces is bad enough.
249
We don't need your added negative attention.
250
Thank you.
251
Rayspace breaks camera?
252
Yeah, well listen, Weiner boy, you should be happy you're getting any attention at all.
253
No!
254
We'll find out who did this, Sharon.
255
Don't worry.
256
Who has their poem memorized for today?
257
Maria Wong?
258
We haven't heard from you in a while.
259
I'm nobody.
260
Who are you?
261
Are you nobody too?
262
Then there's a pair of us.
263
Don't tell.
264
They'll advertise, you know.
265
How dreary to be somebody.
266
How public?
267
Like a frog!
268
To tell one's name, the Livlog Dune!
269
to an admiring bog.
270
Alden, it's Nina.
271
Did I catch you at a bad time?
272
It's okay.
273
What's up, Nina?
274
Well, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Alden.
275
But Sharon can't go to the dance with you on Saturday.
276
You do know she's got braces, right?
277
No, I uh...
278
Actually, I didn't know.
279
Oh, I guess you didn't see the posters.
280
Well, the poor thing is in so much pain.
281
I saw her yesterday and she was acting pretty weird.
282
Nobody's weirder than Sharon, that's for sure.
283
She was afraid to tell you the truth, but I told her not to worry.
284
I'd be happy to go to the dance with you.
285
It's the way she wants it.
286
Thank you.
287
Thank you.
288
Hold on, Alden.
289
Can't you see I'm busy?
290
So, why don't you pick me up at, say, 7th?
291
You know, before we do this, I need to call Sharon.
292
Really, Alden, don't do that.
293
She's too gruesome right now.
294
She's got scabs all over her mouth and she can barely speak.
295
Scabs?
296
You're right.
297
I really don't want to go with her.
298
What a nightmare.
299
Not my type.
300
Hey, what's going on?
301
In the middle of my Emily Dickinson showpiece, you run away to the back of the room, proceed to yell out scabs, and then race out.
302
Isn't there an etiquette rule out there that says-- Stop it!
303
You have no idea what's going on!
304
You're right.
305
Enlighten me.
306
It wasn't the poem!
307
Oh, so it was me.
308
No, it was me!
309
It was my braces!
310
They're doing...
311
They're making me do crazy things and Nina's plotting to steal Alden away and - Hey, slow down.
312
Nina's always plotting and braces are so everywhere and - Alton's got a thing for you.
313
You think?
314
If Maria was right, then Alden would ignore Nina's total lies and believe me.
315
I mean, if a guy has a thing for you, it's worth exploring, don't you think?
316
Hello?
317
Alden?
318
It's Sharon.
319
Sharon Spitz.
320
Oh.
321
Hey.
322
It's not what you think.
323
First of all, I do not have scabs.
324
Second of all, all I know is you want me to go to the dance with Nina, right?
325
No, I never said that.
326
I mean unless that's what you want, because if it is...
327
Hello?
328
Hello, Sharon? Is this...
329
Alden?
330
Can't anything go right, Moshi.
331
Well, Everything work out between you and Loverboy?
332
It's over.
333
No!
334
Yes.
335
Oh, you're not going to the dance with Alden?
336
I'm not even going to the dance, period.
337
Hey, that's my line.
338
Whatever.
339
All good.
340
That's good.
341
Feel sorry for yourself?
342
Have no fun for the rest of your braces sentence?
343
In fact, you don't even deserve a friend like me who's giving you such sterling advice.
344
I mean, you're a healthy, able -bodied girl who loves to dance, who's sub -popular, who...
345
Stop!
346
Oh, I'm just starting.
347
I'll think about it just so you'll shut up.
348
Hey!
349
You've reached Connor!
350
Leave a message!
351
Man!
352
Con?
353
What do you say?
354
Saturday night?
355
You, me, and the disco ball.
356
Okay, here we go.
357
Did you take your antihistamine?
358
Yeah.
359
Did you wash your hands?
360
Sixteen times.
361
Eye drops?
362
then you won't be needing those.
363
Hey, wait up!
364
You came I thought you didn't do dances.
365
Oh You know I always like a good challenge.
366
Are we ready to shake our booties, girls?
367
Yeah!
368
What's in that antsy estamine?
369
matter What's going on over there?
370
It's just a couple of geeks.
371
Trying to dance.
372
Thanks to everyone who helped make booking in an autumn barnyard such a success.
373
Now it's Time to announce this year's disco king and queen who will share in the next dance!
374
Can I have a drum roll please?
375
Disco queen goes to...
376
Hey!
377
Ah!
378
Our very own and my best friend, Nina Harper!
379
Thank you to all my peers for crowning me for the second year in a row.
380
Never gets boring.
381
And Disco King goes to...
382
Connor McKenzie!
383
Yay!
384
Ooh!
385
Who picked him?
386
Nice one, Connor!
387
Yay, Connor!
388
Ooh, wait.
389
What's that made of?
390
Stop!
391
Don't put it on!
392
I'll break out in hives!
393
And now the disco king and queen will share in a disco dance!
394
Don't make me do this!
395
I don't have to do this!
396
You're here It was a last resort I know but maybe these wacky braces come in handy - -
397
- Does anyone know how much this hair costs me?
398
Help!
399
Help!
400
Okay, so that didn't really happen, but wouldn't it have been so cool?
401
I don't know what's going on with these braces.
402
I mean, one minute weird stuff is happening, the next it's not.
403
Maybe Venus is in retrograde.
404
Maybe it's the year of the dragon.
405
Or maybe things are just changing.
406
My mother says it's puberty.
407
I ask you this.
408
Is there anything more gross?

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
