1
My dress.
2
I can't go in this dress.
3
Can you mend it?
4
Mend it?
5
No, no, I'll turn it into something new.
6
Oh, no, please don't.
7
This was my mother's. And...
8
And I'd like to wear it when I go to the palace.
9
It's almost like taking her with me.
10
I understand.
11
But she wouldn't mind if I.. cleared up a bit.
12
Wouldn't mind an ice blue.
13
No. What's
14
up Global Citizens, I'm Oli and today we are learning English with the classic story of Cinderella.
15
Now there are many different versions of this fairy tale

30
Cinderella tells the story of an orphan girl who is made a servant by her stepmother and stepsisters.
31
One day the king invites all the single ladies in the kingdom to come to a ball, so that the prince can choose one to be his wife.
32
In hopes to attend the ball, Cinderella, along with the help of the house mice, fix an old dress of her late mother. But then...
33
I don't want to ruin anything.
34
I don't even want to meet the prince.
35
No, and you won't.
36
Because there's no question of your going.
37
But all of the maidens of the land are invited, by order of the king.
38
It is the king I'm thinking of.
39
It would be an insult to the royal personage to take you to the palace dressed in these old rags.
40
Rags?
41
This was my mother's.
42
Oh, I'm sorry to have to tell you, but your mother's taste was questionable.
43
This thing is so old -fashioned, it's practically falling to pieces.
44
The shoulder's frayed.
45
Oh!
46
Oh!
47
It's falling to bits. And this?
48
Oh!
49
It's a ridiculous, old -fashioned joke.
50
How could you?
51
How could I otherwise?
52
I will not have anyone associate my daughters with you.
53
It would ruin their prospects to be seen arriving with a ragged servant girl.
54
Because that is what you are.
55
And that is what you will always be.
56
Now mark my words.
57
You shall not go to the ball.
58
I don't want to ruin anything.
59
I don't even want to meet the prince.
60
No, and you won't.
61
Because there's no question of your going.
62
But all of the maidens of the land are invited by order of the king.
63
Maiden is a word used to describe an unmarried young woman.
64
Cinderella is a beautiful and kind maiden.
65
Because of that, her stepmother keeps Cinderella as busy as she can, fearing she will be the centre of attention at the ball
66
and her daughters won't be able to have the chance to meet the prince.
67
So when she says, this is no question if you're going, she means that there's no chance, no possibility of her going to the ball.
68
You must find the maiden that belongs to that sweet voice!
69
Oh no, come back sire!
70
Personage is used to describe distinct, famous or important people, such as the king.
71
When speaking about the importance of the event, Cinderella's stepmother disdains her dress calling it old rags.
72
Rags is a word used to refer to clothes that are visibly old and torn, like these.
73
Mother, I don't see why everybody else seems to have such nice things to wear.
74
And I always end up in these old rags.
75
Another way of using this word is in the expression from rags to riches.
76
This means that someone who grew up in poverty now has great wealth.
77
We can even use it to describe Cinderella's story.
78
Cinderella is a rags to riches tale of a servant girl who becomes a princess.
79
Sorry to have to tell you, but your mother's taste was questionable.
80
this thing is
81
so old -fashioned it's practically falling to pieces it's a ridiculous old -fashioned joke
82
if someone has questionable taste it means the things
83
that this person likes or wears are not socially acceptable
84
or are quite different and distinct from everyone else so
85
when Cinderella's stepmother says that her dress is so old -fashioned she means
86
that her dress is not contemporary and that Cinderella's style is not fashion in modern -day society.
87
You can also use old -fashioned to describe someone who has old and outdated ideas.
88
Fraid is used to describe clothes that are worn at the edges, especially if they are old or were worn many times.
89
You use falling to pieces or falling to bits to describe something that is being physically ruined.
90
The stepmother and the sisters say this as they destroy Cinderella's dress.
91
However, you can also use this expression when someone is emotionally unstable or very upset.
92
My hula career is falling to pieces, and you're worried about stinkin' work!
93
How could you?
94
How could I otherwise?
95
I will not have anyone associate my daughters with you.
96
It would ruin their prospects to be seen arriving with a ragged servant girl, because that is what you are, and that is what you will always be.
97
how could you is a phrase used to express surprise
98
or strong disapproval of another person's behavior or actions dear oh how frightfully upsetting had i but known
99
what do you mean sadly the boy's sentence has already been carried out what sentence death by beheading.
100
No. I am exceedingly sorry, Princess.
101
How could you?
102
I will not have anyone associate my daughters with you.
103
What does associate mean in this context?
104
That's right, to be associated with someone is to be connected and to have a relationship with that person.
105
It could be a family, friend or business relationship.
106
Cinderella's stepmother says
107
that by having her daughters connected to her would ruin the girl's chances of becoming a part of the royalty.
108
The reason for that is because Cinderella is a servant, that is, someone who does domestic services for another person.
109
Servant is not a common word these days, so you will hear servants being referred to as attendants or domestic workers.
110
Her stepmother and stepsisters ever misused her.
111
By and by they considered Ella less a sister than a servant.
112
Now mark my words, you shall not go to the ball.
113
Shall is quite a formal word used to say that something certainly will or must happen.
114
For example, your English teacher might tell you to do your homework.
115
You could say, I shall do it.
116
You are therefore telling your teacher that you will definitely do it.
117
It is important to note that shall is quite an old -fashioned word.
118
Ball is a large social gathering for dancing.
119
Cinderella's stepmother wants to make clear that she won't allow Cinderella to go to the ball, so she says, mark my words.
120
This expression can be used when you want the person to pay attention and remember what you are saying.
121
unholy powers vested in me, I banish you with a curse.
122
Mark my words, you and your family will die within the fortnight.
123
If you love Disney movies then make sure you check out this playlist.
124
We've made lessons with Ratatouille, Maleficent, Soul and much more.
125
So despite her stepmother forbidding her to go to the ball,
126
Cinderella is helped by the house animals and the fairy godmother and eventually makes it to the ball.
127
Importantly, she must return to her house by midnight.
128
Otherwise, the people at the ball will realise that she is not a royal personage.
129
And can you imagine?
130
Her stepmother would be outraged if she sees her there.
131
While at the ball, she dances with the prince.
132
However, when the clock strikes twelve, she runs out of the palace, leaving behind only a crystal slipper.
133
I'm no princess I have no carriage no parents no dowry
134
I do not even know if that beautiful slipper will fit but if it does will you take me as I am
135
an honest country girl who loves you Of course I will.
136
But only if you will take me as I am.
137
An apprentice still learning his trade.
138
Please. Who are you?
139
I am Cinderella.
140
Your Majesty, I'm no princess.
141
I have no carriage, no parents, no dowry.
142
Cinderella had no one to look after her, and she also had no access to her family's money as her stepmother made her a servant.
143
For that reason, she couldn't offer anything of value to their marriage in some cultures it was
144
and still is customary for the brides the woman's family to pay an amount of money
145
or give a property to the prospective husband prior to marriage
146
this is called dowry look at these shoes where did you
147
get these they're danielle's dowry for her wedding cinderella married i do not even know if that beautiful slipper will fit
148
Cinderella's glass slippers are an important part of the story.
149
As she loses one in a hurry to leave the ball before midnight, the shoe becomes the only piece of evidence for the prince to find her.
150
The slippers, in this context, are easy to wear shoes.
151
Nowadays, you can use the word slippers to describe these types of shoes.
152
Did you notice that she didn't contract the words do and not?
153
You can hear the word do and not clearly.
154
As the story is set in the past, they speak in a quite posh way.
155
You can also hear how she connects the T from not with the E from even.
156
But in connected fast speech, these two words often become one word, don't.
157
Americans tend to omit the T sound in a sentence, so they would probably say, I don't even know.
158
And they would connect the N sound with the E from even.
159
I don't even know.
160
Compare how the word don't is pronounced differently in these examples.
161
Shut up, you're gonna get in.
162
Don't even pretend to think otherwise.
163
You don't even realise how lucky you are never to know what it is to grow old.
164
But, if it does, will you take me as I am?
165
Country is the region away from the big cities.
166
Country girl then refers to a girl from a rural, pastoral area.
167
So I'm a country girl I love the trees and the flowers Here
168
Cinderella reminds the prince that she's poor and not sophisticated like other young women from the court.
169
That's why she says, Take me as I am, which means accept me for who I am.
170
This is said often in the context of a romantic relationship, to tell the other person that you might not have all the qualities and characteristics she or he expects.
171
If you want to learn more about connected speech, then I highly recommend our Fluent with Friends course.

174

176
Of course I will, but only if you will take me as I am, an apprentice still learning his trade.
177
Please.
178
Trade is used to refer to a job that demands special training.
179
An apprentice is a person who is still learning from a more experienced person the skills to perform a certain job.
180
Common trade jobs include a carpenter, an electrician, a mechanic etc.
181
Here we have two examples of how words can link together.
182
First, you can notice that he connects the words but and only, making it sound but only.
183
The word but will often connect with the next word if it starts with a vowel sound.
184
Note that in American English it sounds more like this, but only.
185
The T sound becomes a D sound.
186
Try to say these sentences, connecting but with the words that come next.
187
Repeat after me.
188
I may come with you but I'm not sure.
189
He tried reading this novel but after a while he gave up.
190
I'm trying to help but if she doesn't say, I'll never know.
191
Did you notice how my Australian pronunciation is similar to American pronunciation?
192
While Brits would say, but only, for Americans and Australians the T becomes a flap T which sounds like a D sound, but only.
193
Try and say it, but only.
194
Then we have the word as connecting with I, becoming as I.
195
Notice that although as is spelled with S, this letter sounds like Z, as.
196
Pronouncing it with an S sound may cause some confusion because the word arse means something completely different.
197
Alrighty, do you remember at the start I said you're going to have a quiz? well it's time for that.
198
So we're gonna watch the two scenes again without subtitles
199
and there's going to be a couple of questions in there that you will need to answer.
200
Let me know if you get all the questions correct down in the comments below
201
and don't forget to hit that subscribe button and the bell down below so you don't miss any of our new lesson.
202
I don't want to ruin anything.
203
I don't even want to meet the prince.
204
No, and you won't.
205
Because there's no question of your going.
206
But all of the maidens of the land are invited.
207
By order of the king.
208
It is the king I am thinking of.
209
It would be an insult to the royal personage to take you to the palace dressed in these old rags.
210
Rags?
211
This was my mother's.
212
Oh, I'm sorry to have to tell you, but your mother's taste was questionable.
213
This thing is so old -fashioned.
214
Old -fashioned is the opposite of...
215
A. Outdated B.
216
Contemporary C.
217
Unfinished Thank you.
218
It's practically falling to pieces.
219
The shoulder's frayed!
220
No way you're leaving home wearing this frayed shirt.
221
Which picture best represents the meaning of frayed?
222
It's falling to bits.
223
It's a ridiculous old -fashioned joke.
224
How could you?
225
How could I otherwise?
226
I will not have anyone associate my daughters with you.
227
It would ruin their prospects to be seen arriving with a ragged servant girl, because that is what you are, and that is what you will always be.
228
Now mark my words.
229
You shall not go to the ball. Who are you?
230
I am Cinderella.
231
Your Majesty...
232
I'm no princess.
233
I have no carriage.
234
No parents.
235
No dowry.
236
I do not even know if that beautiful slipper will fit. But... If it does...
237
Will you take me as I am?
238
I'm an honest country girl who loves you.
239
Of course I will.
240
But only if you will take me as I am.
241
An apprentice still learning his trade.
242
What would be another word for trade?
243
A. Task B.
244
Hobby C.
245
Job Thank you.
246
I never hung out with you in the afternoon like this.
247
And this lighting, man, man, you look disgusting.
248
Yeah.
249
Well, I don't know how you get me to fall for that egg -shaped head every morning.
250
Oh, all I have to do is slide on my designer jeans and just kind of wiggle in front of you.
251
You go nuts.

¿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.
