Sefir A2.
6
Oh, and then I...
7
Thank you.
8
The night is cold, and all the land is dark,
9
and the moon is the only light you'll ever see.
10
I won't be afraid.
11
No, I won't shed a single tear.
12
Just as long as you, just as long as you stand by me.
13
Oh, don't you stand by me?
14
Won't you, won't you stand by me,
15
stand by me, won't you stand by me?
16
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17
The most important things are the hardest to say.
18
people feel ashamed of them.
19
because words make them smaller.
20
When the ideas are in your mind, They feel big and endless.
21
But when you say them, They sound.. simple and ordinary.
22
There is another problem.
23
These important things are very close to your heart.
24
They are like secrets.
25
You want to protect them.
26
You are afraid other people may use them against you.
27
It is hard and painful to talk about them.
28
And when you finally try, People often look at you in a strange way.
29
They do not understand what you mean.
30
They do not understand why you almost cry when you speak.
31
I was 12 years old.
32
Almost thirteen when I saw a dead human being for the first time.
33
It happened in 1960.
34
A long time ago.
35
But sometimes it does not feel like a long time.
36
Sometimes, It feels very close.
37
especially at night.
38
I sometimes wake up from a dream. in the dream.
39
I see him.
40
again.
41
I see the cold hail.
42
falling into his open eyes.
43
Thank you.
44
you Chapter 1: The Treehouse Gang you
45
We have a treehouse in a big tree above an empty field in the town of Castle Rock.
46
It is our club.
47
but it has no name.
48
There is a building there now.
49
It's a supermarket.
50
and the tree is gone.
51
Things change.
52
Progress.
53
Five or six of us come there often.
54
and some others come and go.
55
Sometimes we let them join us when we play cards, especially if we need more players.
56
We built the treehouse ourselves.
57
The walls are made from old wood.
58
The wood is rough and full of holes.
59
We cover the holes with paper.
60
The roof is made from a piece of metal that we stole from the dump.
61
We were always careful when we went to the dump.
62
because the manager there has a dog.
63
They say that the dog likes to kill kids.
64
So when we stole that roof, we moved fast.
65
One day we also found an old screen door.
66
It was rusty, but it keeps the flies out.
67
When we look through it, everything always looks a little dark.
68
like sunset.
69
The treehouse is not only for cards, We also go there to smoke cigarettes and look at magazines.
70
Under the floor, we built a secret space where we hide our things, in case a father of one of the boys comes to visit.
71
That summer is very hot and dry.
72
The newspapers say it is the hottest summer in many years.
73
The grass is dry and brown.
74
It is a Friday morning in September.
75
just before school starts again.
76
Teddy, Chris and I sit in the treehouse.
77
We play cards.
78
complain about school, and tell the same jokes again and again.
79
One of Teddy's favorite jokes is: How do you know a French person was at your house?
80
Your garbage cans are empty.
81
And your dog is pregnant.
82
He likes to tell that joke even though his family came from France a long time ago.
83
We feel bored.
84
It's too hot to do anything.
85
We take off our shirts.
86
We do not want to sweat on them too much.
87
The card game is slow.
88
No one cares much.
89
I have 29.
90
Chris says.
91
I have 22.
92
Teddy says.
93
I throw my cards down in anger.
94
"Oh, go jump off a bridge, Teddy." I say, Gordy lost.
95
Gordy lost.
96
That was the worst card hand ever!
97
Teddy says meanly.
98
Then Teddy laughs his unique Teddy Duchamp laugh.
99
Hehehehe!
100
His laugh sounds like an old nail being pulled out of an old piece of wood.
101
His laugh is loud and strange.
102
Teddy is different from other boys.
103
He cannot see well, so he wears thick glasses.
104
And he wears hearing aids to help him hear better.
105
Sometimes he does not understand what people say.
106
and his answers are strange.
107
People think he is older than he is.
108
but he is almost 13, like us.
109
But the worst thing about Teddy...
110
is his ears.
111
When he was younger, Something very bad happened.
112
It changed him.
113
When he was eight years old, His father hurt him very badly.
114
Teddy had broken a plate in the kitchen.
115
His father got angry and took him to the stove.
116
The stove was very hot, the metal was red.
117
He grabbed Teddy by the hair and pushed his head down.
118
He held one side of Teddy's head against the hot metal.
119
Teddy screamed.
120
He tried to move, but he couldn't.
121
His father held him there for about 10 seconds.
122
Then he pulled him up.
123
Then he pushed him down on the other side.
124
It burned both of Teddy's ears very badly.
125
After that, Teddy's ears never looked normal.
126
They were damaged.
127
They look like balls of melted wax now.
128
That is why he cannot hear well.
129
A neighbor heard Teddy's screams.
130
She went over to see what was happening.
131
She saw Teddy, and his ears.
132
Teddy's father pointed a gun at her.
133
She ran home and called the police, and an ambulance.
134
After that, Teddy's father sat down with his gun.
135
He acted like he was in a war.
136
The ambulance arrived and the police arrived.
137
Then the ambulance took Teddy to the hospital.
138
The police took Teddy's father to a prison They put him in a mental hospital after that.
139
He is still there.
140
But Teddy still loves his father.
141
He talks about him with pride.
142
He says his father was a World War II war hero.
143
He visits him every week.
144
He never talks about the abuse by his father.
145
He does not talk about what happened.
146
Teddy Axe Brave But sometimes he is not careful.
147
He takes big risks.
148
He runs in front of trucks.
149
He waits until the last second.
150
Then he jumps away.
151
The trucks almost hit him.
152
The drivers shout, but Teddy laughs.
153
We feel scared when he does this.
154
He cannot see well.
155
One day, he may not move in time.
156
"I win !" Teddy yells.
157
He has won a card game against Chris.
158
"You four -eyed piece of shit !" Chris shouts.
159
This pile of shit has a thousand eyes.
160
Teddy says.
161
Everyone laughs.
162
I pick up a magazine.
163
I start to read.
164
Then we hear a sound.
165
Someone is climbing the ladder to the treehouse.
166
There is a knock on the trap door in the floor.
167
Who is it?
168
Chris asks, "It's Vern," a voice says.
169
He sounds excited.
170
I open the door.
171
Vern climbs inside.
172
He is sweating a lot.
173
He is breathing fast.
174
"Wait till you hear this," he says.
175
What?
176
I ask.
177
Let me breathe.
178
He says, "I ran all the way here from my house." "That's crazy," Chris says.
179
It's too hot for that!
180
It is crazy.
181
Vern's house is more than three kilometers from the treehouse.
182
"This is important," Vern says.
183
You won't believe it.
184
Can you camp out tonight?
185
He asks, At my house?
186
"Maybe," Chris says, And you?
187
Vern asks me.
188
"Probably," I say.
189
I know I will be able to go.
190
My parents do not watch me much now.
191
My brother was called Dennis.
192
He died in a car accident a few months before.
193
He was twenty years old.
194
After he died, Everything changed for me.
195
My parents were very sad.
196
They did not see me anymore.
197
I felt alone.
198
like I was invisible.
199
What's going on, Vern?
200
Teddy asks.
201
Chris plays his cards.
202
We continue the game.
203
Then, Vern speaks again.
204
He looks at all of us.
205
"Do you guys want to see a dead body?" he says.
206
Everyone stops and stares at him. When are you?
207
Thank you.
208
But I just call him And all the land is dark And the moon is the only light you ever see

Gramática en este vídeo
Las estructuras que más usa el hablante, con las palabras exactas del vídeo:
| Estructura | En el vídeo |
|---|---|
| Voz pasiva be + participio pasado — importa lo que ocurre, no quién lo hace | are made · is made · being pulled |
| Superlativos the -est / the most … — lo más alto o lo más bajo de un grupo | The most important · the hottest · the worst |
| Posibilidad con “might / may” might/may + verbo — algo posible pero no seguro | may use · may not move |
| Futuro con “will” will + verbo — una decisión, una promesa o una predicción | you'll ever see · won't be · won't shed |
Pronunciación a tener en cuenta
El hablante usa 9 contracciones y formas reducidas, como won't, couldn't, don't. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.
- Los sonidos de “th”: breathe /bɹiːð/, thick /θɪk/, thirteen /ˌθɝtˈtin/
- Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: shout /ʃaʊt/, ashamed /əˈʃeɪmd/
- Palabras largas — cuida el acento: ordinary /ˈɔɹdɪnɛɹi/, invisible /ɪnˈvɪzəb(ə)l/, supermarket /ˌsupɚˈmɑɹkət/
Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:
- s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: steal /stiːl/, scream /skɹiːm/, sweat /swɛt/, stove /stoʊv/, scare /skɛɚ/
- /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: arrive /əˈɹaɪv/, stove /stoʊv/, invisible /ɪnˈvɪzəb(ə)l/
- /h/ — una aspiración suave, no la “j”: hail /heɪl/, treehouse /ˈtɹiːˌhaʊs/

- Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como ear, ambulance, badly.
¿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.
