Shadowing Practice: The Magic School Bus - Gets Lost in Space - Ep. 1 - Learn English Speaking with Video

Creando lección...
1
Seatbelts everyone!
2
Please let this be a normal field trip, with a friend?
3
No way!
4
Cruisin' on the main street,
5
you're relaxed and feelin' good Next thing that you know you'll see Octopus in my neighborhood Surfing on the sine wave,
6
swinging through the stars Take a left and show me Justin, take your second right past Mars I'm a magic school
7
but us Navigate a nostril I'm on the magic school bus
8
Make a plain turn to I'm on the magic school bus
9
Wrap the river alive I'm on the magic school bus Such a fine thing to do
10
So strap your bones right to the sea
11
Come on in
12
and don't be shy Just to make your day complete You
13
might get baked into a pie On the magic school bus Step inside, it's a wider ride Right on the magic school bus!
14
Pass me that one next, Phoebe.
15
Okay, Ralphie.
16
It's going to be a model of the solar system.
17
Neat, huh, Janet?
18
Uh, I hate to tell you, Cousin Arnold, But when my class built one, the sun was so huge we had to hang it from the flagpole.
19
And you had all nine planets?
20
That's right, Keisha.
21
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.
22
My class already studied the solar system.
23
I bet your class didn't learn about the aliens that live on the planets.
24
For your information, Ralphie, Earth is the only planet that can support life as far as we know.
25
And how far do you know?
26
Really far, cause I got straight A's on all my tests, and this proves it.
27
If you already know so much, Janet, why did you come to visit our class?
28
Because Arnold told me all about your field trips at Dorothy Ann.
29
What did he say?
30
That they were, and I quote, highly unusual, and you know what I said?
31
Prove it.
32
She's really nice, once you get to know her.
33
Oh, good morning, class.
34
Have you all met Arnold's cousin, Janet?
35
Yes, Miss Frizzle.
36
My teacher doesn't dress like that.
37
That's nothing.
38
Sometimes the frizz looks totally outrageous.
39
Well, since we're lucky enough to have a guest today, I'd say it's a perfect time for a field trip.
40
I wonder where we're going today.
41
Inside a rotten log? Been there.
42
To the bottom of the ocean.
43
Done that.
44
We're going to the planetarium?
45
Hardly unusual, Arnold.
46
The frizz taking us on a normal field trip?
47
Believe me, that's unusual.
48
Hmm.
49
Hmm.
50
Hmm.
51
Hmm.
52
Hmm.
53
Hmm.
54
Hmm.
55
That's unusual.
56
Hmm, how odd.
57
Closed today.
58
Closed?
59
Looks like we'll just have to go back to school.
60
Oh, no!
61
Some field trip, Arnold.
62
You know what?
63
My teacher would have called ahead.
64
Because my teacher plans ahead.
65
My teacher never makes mistakes.
66
My teacher is a zillion times better than his...
67
Nobody is better than Ms. Frizzle.
68
Oh, yeah?
69
Prove it.
70
Stop the bus!
71
Yes, Arnold?
72
Isn't there, you know, someplace else you could take us?
73
You mean another planetarium?
74
Well, sort of, but bigger.
75
Bigger?
76
You know, the big one.
77
Oh, Arnold, why didn't I think of that?
78
T minus five and counting.
79
Four, three, two, one, blast off!
80
What's happening?
81
A field trip!
82
Into outer space?
83
Highly unusual.
84
Welcome to outer space class.
85
The only planetarium open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
86
And how are all my astronauts doing?
87
We're weightless.
88
We're in trouble.
89
No, Arnold.
90
We're in orbit around the Earth.
91
Hmm, let's see now.
92
We are just about there.
93
Wonderful.
94
Let the tour begin.
95
We're coming up to the sun.
96
Look how huge it is.
97
Class, are you all wearing your special heavy-duty sunblock 8,000 sun goggles?
98
I wonder how many Earths would fit in the sun.
99
Over a million.
100
Hold on to your goggles.
101
Yee-haw!
102
So, class, we've traveled from Earth around the sun, and now we are on our way to...
103
Mercury, the closest planet to the sun.
104
When I tell my class, they're gonna be so jealous.
105
Wow, we're landing! Of course.
106
Told you, Janet.
107
We hardly weigh anything compared to my old planet Earth.
108
I wonder if that means there's less gravity pulling on us here.
109
Exactly, Keisha.
110
Good thinking.
111
Come along, class.
112
Follow the bouncing lizard.
113
This way, please.
114
Then I can jump higher than you, Dorothean.
115
You're on.
116
I won first place in my class jumping contest.
117
Here's my blue ribbon to prove it.
118
Wait till I tell my class I won the jumping contest on Mercury too!
119
But you know what they're gonna say?
120
What?
121
Prove it!
122
How on earth?
123
I mean, how am I gonna prove I was on Mercury?
124
Man, the aliens on Mercury sure make big footprints.
125
Nothing can live on Mercury, Ralphie.
126
It's too hot and dry during the day.
127
And according to my research, way below freezing at night.
128
And day or night, there's no air, which makes it extremely difficult to breathe.
129
Well, something had to make tracks this big.
130
Something did, Ralphie.
131
Meteorites...
132
Hmm.
133
Meteorites are pieces of stone or iron that fall from space.
134
Come along, class.
135
If the ones that hit the planet are called meteorites, what do you call the ones that miss?
136
What?
137
Meteorons!
138
Wow!
139
Janet, what are you doing?
140
Hey, watch it!
141
Eureka!
142
My very own meteorite!
143
When I show this to my class, it'll prove I was on Mercury!
144
Oh, Janet...
145
Right on top of us!
146
Wahoo!
147
We're now approaching.
148
Venus, the second planet from the sun.
149
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait!
150
Cool!
151
Venus has clouds just like Earth.
152
Wow!
153
What if you?
154
Uh, I think I'll go sit down now.
155
Come along, class!
156
Hey, I feel like I weigh the same here as I do on Earth.
157
That's because Venus is about the same size as Earth and has about the same gravity.
158
Come on, Arnold.
159
Check out those weird clouds.
160
Oh good, a little rain will cool the place down.
161
Except that's not rainwater in those clouds, Wanda.
162
It's sulfuric acid.
163
Sulfuric acid?
164
It's a deadly poison.
165
We're perfectly safe.
166
As long as we keep our spacesuits on.
167
I like rocks, but this is ridiculous.
168
Do you have to have all of these?
169
Absolutely.
170
If this doesn't prove I was on Venus, nothing will.
171
We're now passing through the orbit of the third planet, which is Earth.
172
Look, it's so beautiful.
173
And there's air we can breathe.
174
And it's not too hot or not too cold.
175
The only one that supports life.
176
And coming up is Mars.
177
The fourth planet, right, Ms. Frizzle?
178
Very good, Janet.
179
Oh, you certainly do know your planets.
180
I got straight A's on all my reports.
181
We know, we know enough already.
182
Ah, here we are, class.
183
Take a look at Mars.
184
How marvelous!
185
It looks like the whole place is rusting.
186
No wonder it's called the Red Planet.
187
As you can see, the soil here is colored by red dust, which has iron in it.
188
Look at those cliffs of ice!
189
Ice climbing, anyone?
190
Why not?
191
No thanks.
192
Too cold.
193
Too slippery.
194
Too red.
195
Who wants to waste time climbing up an old ice cap anyway?
196
Come on, cuz, we've got work to do.
197
Janet, stop!
198
Maybe I should have stayed home today.
199
We've made it to the top!
200
I wonder if Mars could have been another Earth if it had water and wasn't so cold.
201
Maybe.
202
But as I always say, Mars is the best place for ice cream.
203
Ice cream? Where?
204
Here.
205
Ice Scream!
206
Let's go!
207
Ice Scream!
208
That's the last ice block.
209
Great!
210
Now for some red dust.
211
On Earth, I had simple little chores.
212
Emptying waste baskets, feeding the fish, clearing the table.
213
The only thing is, we've been to Mercury, Venus and Mars so far.
214
And we haven't seen a single...
215
Alien!
216
Tell him we surrender!
217
Hi, guys.
218
Which way's the bus?
219
Arnold!
220
I knew it was him the whole time.
221
Mars, ice and dust.
222
Enough to prove we were on Mars.
223
Uh, no need to thank me.
224
I don't think there's much chance of that, Janet.
225
Look!
226
I'm not sure.
227
What's the chance of that, Janet?
228
Look!
229
A flying potato!
230
That's no potato.
231
It's an asteroid, Ralphie.
232
A hug of space rock, smaller than a moon, but bigger than a meteorite.
233
It's part of the asteroid belt.
234
A ring of asteroids which divides our solar system into the inner and outer planets.
235
What happened?
236
An asteroid!
237
I gotta have one!
238
Please, it'll only take me a second!
239
Watch out!
240
What was that?
241
What happened?
242
What's going on?
243
Don't worry, class.
244
Just an unexpected orbital interruption.
245
Let's just see where we are, shall we?
246
The map!
247
It's gone!
248
We're lost in space!
249
We're lost in space!
250
We're lost in space!
251
As I always say, there's nothing a good space mechanic can't fix.
252
Wrench!
253
Wrench!
254
Fliars!
255
An asteroid!
256
I mean, pliers.
257
Screwdriver!
258
An asteroid!
259
Perfect proof!
260
Miss Frizzle, we've got half of the map now.
261
Good.
262
One more adjustment.
263
Uh...
264
Miss Frizzle!
265
Miss Frizzle!
266
Keep your claw on that button, Liz.
267
Up, up, and away!
268
Um, bad news.
269
Janet, we're not only lost in space, we're lost in space without a teacher!
270
What are we gonna do?
271
What are we gonna do?
272
What are we gonna do?
273
Miss Frizzle to class, Miss Frizzle to class, come in.
274
No reason to panic.
275
I'd never leave you.
276
I'm right here.
277
I'll give you a hint.
278
I'm headed for one of the outer planets.
279
But that's the half of the map that we don't have.
280
Good.
281
You can fill it in as you go along.
282
You've got a navigator who knows the neighborhood.
283
We do? Of course.
284
Janet.
285
I wonder if Ms. Frizzle's down there.
286
Wow!
287
Which planet is that?
288
One of the gas giants.
289
What is that red blotch?
290
It's a storm thousands of miles wide.
291
And the only planet with a big red spot is Jupiter.
292
Jupiter, the fifth planet.
293
All right, Janet!
294
Way to go!
295
Now if I could just get some of that red spot, it would prove I've been to Jupiter.
296
Miss Frizzle de Bus, Miss Frizzle de Bus, over.
297
Jupiter is the largest planet, but don't worry, Carlos, because I'm not on it.
298
Then where are you?
299
I've got to have some of that red spot!
300
We're out of control!
301
Janet, pull up, pull up!
302
It's all yours, Ralphie!
303
Whoa!
304
Shit!
305
Chill out, guys.
306
If you visit Jupiter, you gotta have proof, right?
307
I knew I should've stayed home today.
308
Miss Frizzle to class, Miss Frizzle to class.
309
Come in, please.
310
Miss Frizzle!
311
Janet almost got us!
312
I got them some of Jupiter's red spot.
313
Did you say red hot?
314
You're not even warm yet.
315
The outer planet I'm on is very cold and dark.
316
The colder you get, the warmer you'll be to finding me.
317
Oh, great.
318
Now it's a riddle.
319
Off we go again.
320
Hey, look!
321
Another planet!
322
It's beautiful!
323
But where are we?
324
It's got to be Saturn.
325
There's no other gas giant with such beautiful rings.
326
Saturn, the sixth planet.
327
Well, it must be cold down there because Saturn is pretty far away from the sun.
328
But Miss Frizzle said cold and dark.
329
It could be very, very dark on Saturn.
330
Oh, no, you don't.
331
You just want to grab more stuff.
332
Hey, I'm just trying to help.
333
If you want to play Let's Find Miss Frizzle without a map for the rest of your life, that's fine with me.
334
Hm, Janet's right.
335
Miss Frizzle could be on Saturn, couldn't she?
336
Couldn't she?
337
Okay, Arnold, but it's your job to keep your crazy cousin under control.
338
Ms. Frizzle to bus.
339
Ms. Frizzle to bus.
340
Over.
341
Liz and I can't wait to show you all the stars we can see out here.
342
Oh, it's so beautiful.
343
Come back!
344
What about a hint?
345
She just gave us a hint, Ralphie.
346
She did?
347
Yeah!
348
She can see the stars!
349
Which means she can't be on Saturn.
350
She can never see the stars through all those storms and clouds.
351
Planet number seven coming up!
352
That must be Uranus!
353
You can tell by its tilted faint gray rings, and its blue-green gases.
354
See, Kaz, Uranus doesn't do a thing for me, so you can get off me, okay?
355
Sorry, Janet, but I have to stay on top of the situation.
356
Situation the first couldn't see the stars to those clouds either no way.
357
She's on Uranus to the next planet Wait!
358
I need proof!
359
And we need Miss Frizzle!
360
Step on it, Wanda!
361
Hey, watch it!
362
Neptune!
363
Please!
364
We got it!
365
It's not that Neptune!
366
It's my favorite planet!
367
The eighth planet, Neptune.
368
Looks like another planet surrounded by gases.
369
And it's blue.
370
Blue!
371
Blue!
372
My favorite color!
373
Forget it, Janet.
374
Miss Frizzle couldn't see the stars from down there.
375
Go Wanda!
376
GOOOOOO!
377
Now where do we go?
378
She's not on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus or Neptune.
379
That means there's only one planet left! Which one?
380
I'll tell you, after Arnold, it's awful!
381
Ah!
382
Right, listen carefully.
383
Ms. Frizzle is on the farthest planet from the sun, Pluto. To Pluto!
384
Pluto's cold and dark, all right. And clear.
385
They've got to be here!
386
Look!
387
There they are!
388
Oh, my God!
389
Oh, my God!
390
Oh, my God!
391
Oh, my God!
392
Oh, my God!
393
Oh, my God!
394
Oh, my God!
395
Yay!
396
Good work, class.
397
We knew you'd find us.
398
Right, Liz?
399
Sure can see the stars from here.
400
I wonder where the sun is.
401
See that tiny star over there?
402
Uh-huh.
403
Well, that's it.
404
That's the sun?
405
No wonder Pluto's so cold and dark.
406
Look how far away the sun is.
407
So, the colder we got, the warmer we got to finding you.
408
That's a good hint if I do say so myself.
409
I got enough stuff for all of us to prove we made it to Pluto.
410
Huh?
411
Well, what are you waiting for?
412
Let's go!
413
Are you kidding?
414
There's no room in there.
415
Alright, be that way.
416
Whoa!
417
There's no way I'm going home without my stuff.
418
There's no way I'm going home without you.
419
It's proof!
420
Nobody will believe me without it!
421
I'll believe you.
422
They'll believe you.
423
Janet, you want proof?
424
I'll give you proof.
425
Here's proof of what'll happen to you if you stay here with your stuff.
426
Arnold, no!
427
Oh, yes!
428
Back to Earth!
429
And stuff on it!
430
Shoo!
431
Thanks, Janet.
432
Arnold, it's the least I can do.
433
If it weren't for you, I'd still be on Pluto with all my stuff.
434
I don't need to prove anything.
435
That was the most amazing field trip ever.
436
You know it, I know it.
437
If no one else believes me, that's their problem.
438
Right on!
439
Way to go, Janet!
440
You said it!
441
Achoo!
442
Attention all students!
443
We've just learned that scientists have made their first contact with an alien from outer space.
444
An alien?
445
Wow.
446
Ralphie was right!
447
Oh, my!
448
Oh my!
449
The alien, claiming to be from Pluto, has called to complain about a pile of litter that was recently dumped on his planet.
450
Ralphie!
451
As I always say, class, you're out of this world.
452
Is this the magic school bus?
453
Magic school bus?
454
Magic to MagicBus.
455
What do you mean?
456
Magic SchoolBus?
457
Magic SchoolBus.
458
Magic SchoolBus?
459
Magic SchoolBus?
460
I want to go to Magic SchoolBus!
461
I want to spend an hour on the Magic SchoolBus!
462
Hello, Magic SchoolBus.
463
Don't you mean, The Twilight Zone?
464
That show had more science fiction than fact.
465
Well, we realize a school bus would make a lousy spacecraft.
466
I'll give you that one, but only because you call it a magic school bus.
467
But there's no way any spacecraft could visit all nine planets in a day.
468
Heh, well if we did it in real time, you would be a grown-up by the time we got to Pluto.
469
Speaking of Pluto, scientists don't really know what its surface is like.
470
You're right, but until one of you kids grows up to be an astronomer or an astronaut
471
and figures out what Pluto is like, we have to guess.
472
Also, Pluto right now isn't the ninth planet from the Sun.
473
Until 1999, it's temporarily inside Neptune's orbit.
474
Right again.
475
What about those funny-looking sun goggles?
476
I happen to know you should never look directly at the Sun.
477
Hurts your eyes?
478
You're one bright kid.
479
So how come some of the time the kids were floating around in the bus?
480
Well, when the bus was coasting with the rocket engines off, they were weightless, like astronauts.
481
Oh yeah, so how come they were able to walk around in the bus sometime?
482
Well, would you, uh, believe in artificial gravity geoscopic confabulator?
483
No way.
484
Okay, you got me, we just fudged it.
485
And don't think I did notice that you had all the planets lined up in a neat little row?
486
Oh, that.
487
Well, it's true that planets are very rarely all lined up like that.
488
Yeah, like almost never.
489
But it's so much easier to keep track of them all that way.
490
You wouldn't want us to have forgotten one, would you?
491
And another thing, if an astronaut ever does make it to Pluto, she'd better not take her helmet off.
492
You think they'd end up with more than a cold, huh?
493
She'd end up a block of ice, or worse, which reminds me why I called in the first place.
494
Yes?
495
I'm still waiting for someone to get that pile of litter off my planet.
496
Swingin' through the stars Take a left and jump in chest
497
And take your second right past Mars I'm a magic school bus
498
Afogate a nostril Climb up the magic school bus Make a plane turn to On our magic school bus
499
Rock the river of lava On our magic school bus Such a fine thing to do
500
So strap your bones right to the sea
501
Come on in and don't be shy Just to make your day complete
502

¿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.
