1
Tom, this is the final shot!
2
Get ready!
3
Come on, Leo!
4
You can't beat my super goalie hands!
5
Super...
6
Chick!
7
Hi-ya!
8
Whoa!
9
What was that?
10
Huh?
11
Oh my!
12
I almost fell!
13
Oh no!
14
Did we hit Mr. Brown?
15
Hide!
16
Maybe he didn't see us!
17
Who kicked this ball into my garden?
18
Hmm...
19
I know this ball.
20
Leo and Tom need a lesson.
21
They must learn to come and tell the truth.
22
He knows it's our ball.
23
What do we do now?
24
Maybe we can get the ball when his lights go off.
25
The light is off.
26
Maybe he's asleep.
27
Step softly, Leo.
28
Don't make noise.
29
There it is!
30
We just take it and go!
31
Okay, almost got it!
32
Good evening, boys!
33
Looking for something?
34
Uh-oh!
35
Mr. Brown, we can explain!
36
We're sorry, Mr. Brown!
37
We kicked the ball here!
38
And we hid.
39
And it hit your hat.
40
And we ran away.
41
And we tried to take it back without asking.
42
The ball and my hat aren't the biggest problem.
43
The problem is that you ran away instead of telling the truth.
44
We're sorry, Mr. Brown.
45
Tomorrow morning, you can help me clean those windows.
46
Yes, sir.
47
We'll come tomorrow and help.
48
We're here, Mr. Brown.
49
We're ready to fix our mistake.
50
Good.
51
Start with the lower windows first.
52
I'll make this window shine.
53
Oops, I sprayed too much.
54
Use just a little spray then wipe slowly oh no this top window is too high
55
even on this chair i still can't reach it
56
don't worry i have the right tool start from the top and move down slowly Wow!
57
This makes it much easier!
58
Here, Leo.
59
This cloth is clean now.
60
Look here, boys.
61
Wipe again so it leaves no marks.
62
I see.
63
If we rush, the window stays messy.
64
When I was young, I broke a neighbor's window with a ball, too.
65
Really?
66
You made a mistake, like us?
67
Yes, I did.
68
But I told the truth, and I helped fix it.
69
It feels better to fix it than to hide.
70
Come on, Tom.
71
Let's finish this the right way.
72
Ha ha ha ha ha!
73
Wow!
74
The windows look like mirrors now!
75
Good work, boys.
76
You did not run away today.
77
Here is your ball.
78
You earned it back.
79
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
80
Thank you, Mr. Brown.
81
We won't sneak around again.
82
Wait, boys.
83
Take some apples from my garden.
84
You made a mistake, but you fixed it. That matters.
85
Thank you, Mr. Brown.
86
We'll tell the truth next time.
87
Mr. Brown is so kind.
88
He helped me understand that we need to admit our mistakes and make them right.
89
That's right.
90
When we make a mistake, tell the truth and fix it.
91
Wow, look at this place.
92
We are at the grand Gyeongbokgum Palace.
93
I love this hanbok so much!
94
I feel like a real princess today! And guess what?
95
If you wear hanbok, you can get free tickets!
96
Hello!
97
Welcome to the Grand Korean Royal Palace!
98
Let's play a game!
99
Answer my questions, get three stamps, and win a secret gift!
100
Ooh!
101
A secret gift?
102
I want to find it right now!
103
It is a big place, Leo.
104
Let's walk slowly and enjoy it.
105
No running, okay?
106
Okay, Daddy.
107
Team Royal Explorers, let's go!
108
Oh, listen to that loud drum.
109
What is it?
110
They are the Sumanjang, the Royal Guards.
111
They protect the palace gate.
112
This is a very old and important tradition.
113
Wow!
114
This wooden house is a giant!
115
Look at the colorful paint!
116
It helps protect the wood from bugs and rain.
117
It is so pretty, like a rainbow umbrella for the house.
118
Look over there!
119
The first stamp!
120
Got it!
121
One down, two to go.
122
Mmm, something smells so yummy!
123
This is the royal kitchen.
124
They made 12 healthy dishes just for the king.
125
They only used the best food from the whole country.
126
Listen to the music.
127
It feels like magic.
128
Stamp number two.
129
We are almost done.
130
I want the secret gift.
131
Hurry up, Maya.
132
Leo, slow down.
133
The stones are slippery.
134
Ah!
135
Oh, no!
136
My stamp book!
137
It's ruined.
138
Now I can't get the secret gift!
139
Oh Leo, are you hurt?
140
Please don't cry.
141
Look, my book is still dry.
142
We can share it.
143
We are a team, right?
144
Really?
145
You are the best sister, Maya!
146
Here we are, young Hooru, the Royal Pavilion.
147
Wow!
148
It is floating on the lake!
149
The king invited special guests here.
150
for grand parties and beautiful dances.
151
Look at the water.
152
It is like a giant, quiet mirror.
153
It is so quiet here.
154
I am glad we walked slowly.
155
The last stamp.
156
Let's do it together, Maya.
157
One, two, three, stamp.
158
Congratulations, explorers.
159
You finished the map.
160
I saw you sharing your book.
161
You have a very kind heart, Maya.
162
And because today is a special palace anniversary, you win our biggest secret gift.
163
Wait, is this real?
164
MS Entertainment, where my favorite idols are.
165
Oh my gosh, Yahoo!
166
A one-day internship?
167
This is the best gift in the world.
168
I can't believe it!
169
Wow!

196
I am going to school!
197
Yay!
198
School time!
199
Uh, just five minutes.
200
Please give me five more minutes.
201
Oh no!
202
It is much too early for school.
203
Knock knock.
204
Wake up, sleeping beauty.
205
Dad, I am so sleepy.
206
Please let me sleep.
207
Cock-a-doodle-doo.
208
Cock-a-doodle-doo.
209
The chicken says it is time to wake up.
210
Oh, Dad.
211
You are too loud.
212
No more sleeping.
213
Look at the sunshine.
214
It is a beautiful day.
215
My eyes.
216
The sun is shining so bright outside.
217
Come on, Maya.
218
You need to wash your face and get dressed.
219
No. Okay, okay, I am getting up.
220
Time to clean up! Where is my toothbrush?
221
Squeeze!
222
Oh no!
223
I pressed too hard!
224
Oh Leo, watch me.
225
Squeeze the toothpaste gently.
226
Brush up and down, round and round.
227
Don't forget to brush your back teeth.
228
I am brushing up and down.
229
Round and round we go.
230
Go!
231
Now, rinse your mouth with water. And spit.
232
Woo!
233
Oh, done!
234
I am making braids.
235
One, two, three.
236
Wow!
237
You are amazing, Maya!
238
Done!
239
My braids are ready!
240
I want to look cool too!
241
Watch me slick my hair back!
242
Look!
243
I am a movie star!
244
Handsome Leo!
245
You look very handsome with that style, Leo!
246
Kids, are you done?
247
Come here.
248
Time to get dressed.
249
The uniforms are ready.
250
We are coming right now, Mom.
251
Here are your uniforms.
252
Fresh and clean.
253
The summer was too short, Mom.
254
I'm not ready for school.
255
I want to travel more.
256
I want to go to the beach again.
257
I understand, honey.
258
We all love holidays.
259
But vacations cannot last forever.
260
We have to go back to school, right?
261
I guess so.
262
You are right, Mom.
263
Think about your friends.
264
Don't you miss them? And your teachers, too?
265
Well, yes.
266
See?
267
It will be fun.
268
I am super fast.
269
Watch me.
270
I am doing button one, then button two.
271
All done.
272
I am ready.
273
Look at me.
274
Oh dear.
275
Come here, Leo.
276
Look at your buttons.
277
Huh?
278
Why is one side longer?
279
Is it magic?
280
It is wrong.
281
You missed one hole.
282
Stand still.
283
Leo, let me fix the collar too.
284
There you go.
285
Now you look smart and tidy.
286
You are the best sister.
287
Oh, you're a sweetie.
288
And now, the tie.
289
Let dad help you.
290
I'm an expert.
291
Over.
292
Under.
293
Around. And pull.
294
Wow.
295
Hmm.
296
It looks a bit.. funny.
297
Hahaha!
298
Why is it sideways?
299
Oh, Ethan!
300
Let me do it!
301
Perfect!
302
Good morning, Madam and Sir!
303
Welcome to Chef Ethan's Restaurant!
304
Your breakfast is ready!
305
And we have eggs and toast.
306
Wow!
307
It looks delicious!
308
Thank you, Dad!
309
You are so funny, Dad.
310
It looks like a five-star restaurant.
311
You are welcome.
312
And please eat now.
313
Because you need energy for school.
314
This food is so yummy!
315
Nom nom nom.
316
It smells so good, but...
317
My tummy feels a little funny, like little beans are jumping inside. Are you nervous, honey?
318
Just a little bit today?
319
Yes, just a little bit.
320
Just a little bit.
321
That is okay.
322
But you need brain food.
323
Eggs and toast help you learn and think.
324
You should try just one bite.
325
It will give you power.
326
It is good.
327
Thanks, Dad.
328
The wheels on the car go round and round, round and round, round and round.
329
We are almost there, kids.
330
The school is near.
331
Dad, Mom, I have a question.
332
I'm listening.
333
What is it, Leo?
334
Do you think my friends remember me?
335
I haven't seen them for three months. Of course.
336
You are Leo.
337
How can they forget you?
338
I wonder if their holiday was fun.
339
Did they travel like us?
340
You can ask them soon.
341
And it is a good way to start a conversation.
342
Mom, I have a question too.
343
Go ahead, Maya.
344
What is on your mind? Do other kids feel...
345
nervous?
346
Like me?
347
Am I the only one?
348
Oh, honey.
349
Everyone is nervous on the first day.
350
Even the teachers get nervous.
351
It is normal.
352
Really?
353
Do the teachers feel nervous too?
354
Yes.
355
But after five minutes, everyone will be happy.
356
If you smile first, then they will smile back at you.
357
Okay.
358
That makes me feel better.
359
Here we are.
360
Have a wonderful day, my loves!
361
Wow!
362
Listen!
363
It's so loud and fun!
364
Wow!
365
Wow!
366
Everything looks new!
367

373
I miss them so much.
374
Wait for me!
375
Look at them, Ethan.
376
They are ready to learn new things.
377
Yes.
378
Back to school is a very special day.
379
Today is a very special day because it's BBQ Day.
380
And we are inviting some special guests too.
381
I help mom with the table and I want it to look nice for the guests.
382
Wow, Maya!
383
The flowers look very lovely.
384
Oh no!
385
I cannot see anything.
386
Mom, I am very hungry.
387
Can I eat this?
388
No, Leo.
389
You cannot eat it now because it is not cooked and you must wait.
390
Whew!
391
Something smells wonderful over here!
392
Hello, Mark.
393
Hello, Sarah.
394
The weather is perfect for a BBQ.
395

398

399
Thank you.
400
Please make yourself at home.
401
The grill looks great, Ethan!
402
Do you need any help with the meat?
403
Please have some water, Sarah.
404
By the way, how is your new life here?
405
I really love it here, Grace.
406
It is much quieter than our old place.
407
That is good to hear.
408
And I hope you feel comfortable in your new home.
409
So Mark, why do you move to this area and why do you choose this place?
410
Well, I got a new job at the city center so we needed to move closer.
411
Moving to a new house is very hard for us and we feel tired and stressed.
412
But we are lucky because we have kind neighbors.
413
Yes, we will never forget how you helped us yesterday yesterday.
414
Oh no!
415
Look at those dark clouds.
416
It is starting to rain very heavily.
417
It seems like new neighbors are moving in next door.
418
Oh no!

427
I will carry them inside for you.
428

429
I will protect you from the rain.
430
One last box.
431

432

433

441
Please sit down here, Sarah.
442
Mark, you can sit next to Ethan.
443
Oh wow!
444
Look at this!
445
It is bigger than my face!
446
Here is some apple juice for you.
447
By the way, Mark, you said you moved for work.
448
What do you do?
449
I work as a sales manager for a luxury sports car company.
450
Wait!
451
Sports cars.
452
Did you say sports cars?
453
Are you kidding me?
454
I love cars.
455
I have many small model cars at home.
456
That is great!
457
You must come to my showroom and see the real cars!
458
Look at the two men.
459
They are talking about cars.
460
And it is funny.
461
Sarah, do you work too?
462
Yes, I work at home.
463
And I write children's books.
464
Wow!
465
A writer!
466
That is my dream job.
467
Do you write fairy tales?
468
Yes, Maya.
469
I write fun stories about magic and friends, and maybe I can read my new story to you one day.
470
Yes, please.
471
That would be amazing.
472
Okay, everyone.
473
Let's clean up the table together before we eat dessert.
474
I will help you carry these dirty plates to the kitchen, Grace.
475
I will clean the table now, and I will throw the trash away.
476
Come on, Leo.
477
We need to make space for the yummy apple pie.
478
Here is the homemade apple pie.
479
I love sweet food, so I can eat more.
480
Yes, Leo is right, and we can always eat apple pie.
481
Did you live far from here before you moved here?
482
Yes, Maya.
483
We lived in a busy city, and there were many tall buildings.
484
Was your old house bigger than this house?
485
No, Leo.
486
This new house is much bigger because we need more space.
487
Why do you need more space?
488
There are only two people in your family.
489
Actually, Leo, we are not two.
490
We will be three people very soon.
491
Three?
492
Does that mean...
493
Are you having a...
494
Yes, Grace, you are right.
495
We will have a new baby soon.
496
Oh my goodness.
497
Sarah, Mark, congratulations to both of you.
498
That is great.
499
Let's celebrate the new baby.
500
Yay, a baby.
501
And I will be a good big sister to the baby.
502
And I will teach the baby to play with toy cars and Lego.
503
Thank you kids.
504
And you will be very good friends for our baby.
505
Thank you for the good barbecue.
506
And we had a great time today.
507
We are neighbors now.
508
So if you need help, please tell us.
509
And we will help you.
510
Take care of yourself, Sarah.
511
Don't lift heavy boxes anymore.
512
We promise!
513
Goodbye neighbors!
514
See you tomorrow!
515
Good food, good friends, and good news.
516
What a perfect day!
517
Wait!
518
Mom!
519
Dad!
520
I brought my fastest cars for the baby.
521
And I have a teddy bear.
522
Oh, sweethearts!
523
Don't rush!
524
We have to wait many months for the baby. That is right.
525
Good things take time.
526
Just like a good BBQ.
527
Do you like eating BBQ with your neighbors?
528
Please tell us.
529
Help me!
530
My tooth!
531
It is a toothache!
532
We must go to the dentist.
533
It is scary!
534
Now, open wide, say ahhh.
535
Bring the drill!
536
Break this white wall!
537
Help!
538
Help!
539
The bugs are inside me!
540
Mommy!
541
Daddy!
542
What happened?
543
Leo!
544
Calm down, baby!
545
What is wrong?
546
Help me!
547
My tooth!
548
It hurts!
549
It feels like fire!
550
Oh my gosh!
551
Ethan, look at his cheek!
552
It is very swollen!
553
Hmm.
554
Let me see.
555
Maybe a big mosquito bit his cheek.
556
No, Ethan.
557
It is a toothache.
558
We must go to the dentist.
559
Right now.
560
No!
561
No, dentist!
562
It is scary!
563
Come on, Leo. Be brave!
564
Hello.
565
My son has a toothache.
566
It hurts a lot.
567
Hello.
568
Let me check.
569
Do you have an appointment?
570
No, we don't.
571
But it is an emergency.
572
Please help him.
573
I understand.
574
Please sit down and wait.
575
The doctor will call you soon.
576
Daddy, did you hear that noise?
577
What is that?
578
It is just a mosquito.
579
A big mechanical mosquito.
580
Daddy, I am scared.
581
I don't like this place.
582
I want to go home.
583
Don't worry, Leo.
584
Dr. White is very nice.
585
He will fix your tooth.
586
The pain will stop.
587
Really, Dad?
588
Mommy, look!
589
Why is this tooth black?
590
That is a cavity, Maya, because the kid ate too much candy.
591
Ew!
592
It looks ugly.
593
Leo, please come in.
594
Okay, Champion.
595
Let's go!
596
Hello, Leo!
597
I am Dr. White.
598
Nice to meet you.
599
Hello, Doctor.
600
Please, sit here.
601
This is my pilot chair.
602
Wow!
603
This chair is very big.
604
Let me turn on the light.
605
Oh no!
606
It is too bright!
607
Don't worry.
608
Now, open wide, say ah.
609
Don't touch my tooth.
610
It's okay, Leo.
611
Look at this.
612
It is just a small mirror.
613
I only want to look at your teeth.
614
No pain.
615
Just a mirror?
616
Yes, just to see inside.
617
Is that okay?
618
Okay.
619
Open wide.
620
Aha!
621
I see something here.
622
It is a big hole!
623
A big cavity.
624
Leo, tell me the truth.
625
Did you eat candy last night?
626
And did you brush your teeth?
627
Well, um, maybe.
628
Just a little bit.
629
Mmm, yummy chocolate!
630
I am so full and I am very sleepy.
631
Leo, did you brush your teeth?
632
Yes, Mommy.
633
I don't want to brush now.
634
Too tired.
635
I will brush tomorrow morning.
636
That is the problem, Leo.
637
I am sorry.
638
Leo, do you know what happens when you eat candy but don't brush?
639
I don't know.
640
What happens, doctor?
641
Okay, let me tell you a story about the sugar bugs.
642
Inside your mouth is a beautiful world, but tonight the bad bugs are waking up.
643
Hey boys, wake up!
644
Look at this!
645
Wow!
646
Chocolate!
647
Sticky and sweet!
648
It's a party!
649
Yummy!
650
Sugar!
651
We love sugar!
652
Hmm, this is delicious!
653
Okay, lunch is over.
654
Now, let's build a house.
655
Bring the drill.
656
Break this white wall.
657
Yes, boss.
658
Dig, dig, dig.
659
Oh, no. Stop.
660
Please, stop.
661
It hurts.
662
My enamel is breaking.
663
Deeper.
664
Make a big hole.
665
Help!
666
Help!
667
The bugs are inside me!
668
Oh no!
669
Doctor!
670
Are they inside right now?
671
What happens next?
672
If we don't stop them, the party gets bigger.
673
The hole gets bigger and it will hurt more and more.
674
No!
675
I don't want more pain!
676
What should I do?
677
Don't worry.
678
It is easy.
679
Just be a good boy.
680
Sit still.
681
Let me clean the bugs.
682
The pain will stop right now.
683
Okay, I am ready.
684
Great job, Leo.
685
You can close your mouth now.
686
We are all done!
687
Huh?
688
Is it finished?
689
Already?
690
Yes!
691
Completely finished.
692
The hole is filled.
693
The tooth is strong again.
694
Wow!
695
It didn't hurt at all!
696
See?
697
I told you!
698
Do you see, kids?
699
Eating candy without brushing is bad.
700
You will have a toothache like Leo.
701
Yes.
702
Cavities are very ugly.
703
And they hurt a lot, too.

Mommy, can I hold the tickets, please?
717
OK, sweetie.

But only for a minute.

It's time.
723
Let's go in, everyone.
724
Grace, do you have the tickets?
725
Hmm.
726
Let me check my pockets.
727
Oh no!
728
Where are the tickets?
729
I can't find them!
730
They are not here!
731
What?
732
Are you sure?
733
Let me check too. Where are they?
734
This is strange.
735
I checked everywhere.
736
Oh my goodness!
737
Oh no!
738
The movie is starting soon!
739
Everyone, look on the floor.
740
Hurry up!
741
I don't see them on the floor.
742
They are gone.
743
We lost them!
744
Oh, wait a minute.
745
Leo, you had the tickets.
746
You lost them, right?
747
Me?
748
No way!
749
Yes way.
750
I saw you, Mr. Forgetful.
751
I gave them to Mommy.
752
I am a good boy.
753
Nuh-uh.
754
You put them in your tiny pockets and dropped them.
755
Look!
756
No tickets.
757
Only a candy wrapper.
758
Oh no, now we can't watch the superhero movie.
759
You are the villain today, Leo.
760
I am not the villain.
761
You are the villain. Did too. Did not. Did too. Did not.
762
Okay, okay you two.
763
Stop fighting.
764
Nobody is a villain here.
765
We just need to find them.
766
Okay, Daddy.
767
But he is still a little bit suspicious.
768
Let me check my long wallet again.
769
Oops, look!
770
Wow!
771
The tickets!
772
They are hiding here.
773
Oh!
774
Oh, here are the tickets mommy.
775
Okay, my darling.
776
Wow, that trailer is cool.
777
It wasn't Leo, it was me.
778
I put them in the wallet.
779
I am very sorry my sweet boy.
780
Mommy forgot today.
781
Oops, I am sorry too, Leo.
782
You are not the villain.
783
You are a good boy.

Why Practice Speaking with This Video?
This video is perfect for english speaking practice because it captures a real-life, relatable scenario—two kids dealing with a mistake. The dialogue is simple, conversational, and full of everyday phrases, making it ideal for beginners to mimic. Whether you’re using a shadowing app or just repeating lines aloud, the natural flow helps you learn to respond in context, not just memorize words. Plus, the story’s emotional arc (nervousness, guilt, resolution) teaches you how to convey feelings, a key part of real communication. It’s like having a mini role-play session with native speakers!
Grammar & Expressions in Context
The conversation is packed with useful structures. Let’s break down a few:
- "We must learn to come and tell the truth": The modal verb "must" shows obligation, a common way to talk about responsibility. Practice saying this to sound confident when admitting mistakes.
- "Maybe he didn't see us": "Maybe" is a great filler word to soften uncertainty—perfect for casual speech. Pair it with past tense ("didn't see") to talk about what might have happened.
- "We're ready to fix our mistake": "Ready to + verb" is a simple structure to show preparedness. Use it to say you’re set for tasks, like "I’m ready to start" or "She’s ready to help."
Common Pronunciation Traps
Even simple words can trip up beginners. Watch out for:
- "Super goalie hands": The "o" in "goalie" is short, like "goh-lee" (not "go-lee"). Listen closely—mispronouncing it might make people think you’re saying "goal" instead!
- "Step softly": "Softly" ends with a "ly" sound, but it’s quick—don’t drag it out. Practice saying it smoothly to avoid sounding robotic.
- "Uh-oh": This exclamation is all about tone—raise your voice on "uh" and drop it on "oh" to show surprise. It’s a fun one to shadow speech for natural intonation.
¿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.
