Sometimes Matilda longed for a friend.

Someone like the kind, courageous people in her books.

It occurred to her that like talking dragons and princesses with hair long enough to climb, such people might exist only in storybooks.
4
But Matilda was about to discover that she could be her own friend.
5
That she had a kind of strength she wasn't even aware of.
6
I'm great.
7
I'm incredible.

38
when a child is bad instead he said when a person is bad

and thereby introduced a revolutionary idea that that children could punish their parents.
40
Only when they deserved it, of course.

They buy me, which is why I personally take such pride in my appearance.
56
Well-oiled hair, clean shave, snappy suit.
57
Now run along and get ready for a big day of learning, kid.
58
It's gonna be a big day of learning, too.

She's got 120,000 miles on her.
85
Transmission shot, bumpers have fallen off.
86
What do I do with her, hmm?
87
I sell her.
88
We really should weld these bumpers on.
89
But that takes time, equipment, money.
90
So, we use super super glue instead.
91
Go ahead.
92
Put it on there.
93
Would it fall off?
94
Definitely.
95
Isn't that dangerous?
96

The sawdust quiets the gears and lets the engine run as sweet as a nut for a couple of miles.
99

Nobody ever got rich being honest.

This is illegal.

Here, keep drilling. Do you make money?
115
Do you have a job?
116
No, but don't people need good cars?
117
Can't you sell good cars, Dad?
118
Listen, you little wiseacre.
119
I'm smart, you're dumb.
120
I'm big, you're little.
121
I'm right, you're wrong and there's nothing you can do about it.

132
God, your hair looks awful.
133
I hope they let you in.
134
They'll let me in.
135
Here's your hat, Taddy.
136
Get in the car.
137
Go on, get in.
138
How much?
139
It's for me to know and you to find out.
140
It's nice to go out sometimes, isn't it?
141
Yeah.
142
You never take us out.
143
Of course I do.
144
I took you to the flipper.
145
I don't remember any of the flipper.
146
The fish joint.
147
You found that comb in the bouillard base.
148
Oh, yeah.
149
I like that joint.
150
Bonjour.
151
This is my piece.
152
Harry, take your hat off.
153
You can't.
154
This is a nice place.
155
You can't wear a hat inside.
156
I can't take it off.
157
Harry, nobody cares what your tail looks like.
158
I can't get it off.
159
I can't get it off.
160
I can't get it off.
161
Just a minute.
162
I'm gonna get this hat off.
163
I'm pulling it.
164
I think your head swelled up really bad.
165
You caught on the skin.
166
You're such a baby.
167
You're such a baby!
168
Stop it!
169
Five is a fuse to the head!
170
Five is a fuse?
171
What is that supposed to mean?
172
I will not be the figure of ridicule.
173
I want respect, and I want it now.
174
I still don't see how you glued your hat on, Harry.
175
I mean, I know you say you didn't, but obviously you didn't.
176
I did not glue my hat to my head.
177
Thank you.

¿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.
