Shadowing Practice: When Cartoons Believe in You. - Learn English Speaking with Video

They believe.

They believe it's going to be better.

They believe that the water will come.

They believe against all odds and all evidence that tomorrow will be better than today.

People have to believe in something.

I just know I have this great potential inside me.

I know I can do it even if no one else understands or believes in me.

I'm sure that sounds pretty stupid, but...

It's not stupid but I believe in you.

Nobody cares about trees anymore.

Then make them care.

Plant the seed in the middle of town where everyone can see.

Change the way things are.

I know it may seem small and insignificant, but it's not about what it is.

It's about what it can become.

That's not just a seed.

Any more than you're just a boy.

Listen, man.

You may have given up on yourself, but your friends haven't given up on you.

Are you just gonna turn your back on them and sit and eat borscht the rest of your life?

Or are you gonna get out there and jump through that tiny little hoop?

It is impossible.

It was always impossible, you tell.

That's why the people loved it.

That is why I loved it.

Because I did the impossible.

I just thought she'd at least see who deserved a shot.

Never mind what this person you don't even know said.

Do you think you're good enough?

Of course, then you must fight for what you believe in.

Guts, stamina, faith.

These are the things you need now, and without them?

Well, maybe that scout was right.

Maybe you're not good enough.

You give up on yourself way too easily.

You can do this.

Your father stood up to Common-Raw, and so can you.

But I'm not my dad.

I'm not a hero like him, or you guys.

Nick, you have your own gifts that make you strong.

You just need to believe in yourself.

I'm not even the best Simpson at my best friend's party.

Do you know what it's like to be second best at anything?

Yeah, I do!

I'm going to Yale!

Listen here, Bart Simpson!

I am sick and tired of you blaming me for every setback you have ever had.

And you have talents too, you idiot.

You're a hell of an artist.

I have to do this.

I'm going to Robot City tonight.

I'm going to get a job and I'm going to help Dad pay back Mr. Gunk.

Talk to him.

Uh, Robot City?

You're just a kid.

I'm never going to be someone here.

I want to be an inventor.

I want to meet Big Weld.

I want to be somebody!

Listen!

I know it isn't easy, Rodney, but a dream that you don't fight for can haunt you for the rest of your life.

You did it, Rhino.

You saved the day.

They need a hero, Bolt.

Someone who, no matter what the odds, will do what's right.

They need a hero to tell them that sometimes the impossible can become possible If you're awesome!

Can you help me?

No. You get yourself in there, you can get yourself out.

Calm down.

Alternate wiggling your fins and your tail.

I can't.

I have a bad fin.

Never stop me.

Just think about what you need to do.

Come on, hurry.

We're almost out of time.

The 32nd card is up.

The race is about to begin.

It's like my grandpa always says you gotta want it to get it So Charlie Brown, do you want it?

Let's go get it Hey, you can do this I'm not going to do this.

There ya go!

Believe with every step!

Oh yeah!

You got me right?

I still got you!

Ian Wright put his fear in us!

This is amazing!

Yeah, but just keep going!

Don't look back!

Just straight ahead!

You still got the rope, right?

Yeah, I got it!

I am not afraid!

Oh man, I could stay out here all day!

Okay, but keep moving!

You got to see that hat, remember?

Hey, shake the hat!

This last step is for you!

Yeah!

100

How long was the rope gone?

101

Oh, just like the second half of it.

102

I needed that rope.

103

Oh, but did you?

104

You must be imaginative, strong-hearted.

105

You must try things that may not work.

106

And you must not let anyone define your limits because of where you come from.

107

Your only limit is your soul.

108

Hey, Patrick.

109

Hi, SpongeBob.

110

You know, Patrick, this is a dream.

111

You can do anything you want.

112

Yup.

113

I mean anything.

114

Watch!

115

I can turn into a skyscraper.

116

Going up...

117

I can make...

118

A MILLION of me!

119

Huh?

120

Huh?

121

Yup.

122

I screwed up!

123

I mean, for two seconds, I thought that maybe I could do something right, but... But...

124

I just...

125

Just forget it.

126

Forget it.

127

Now, you listen to me, James Hawkins.

128

You got the makings of greatness in you.

129

But you gotta take the helm and charge your own course.

130

Stick to it, no matter the squalls.

131

And when the time comes you get the chance to really test the cut of your sails

132

and show what you're made of.

133

Well, I hope I'm there.

134

Catching some of the light coming off you that day.

135

All those struggles, I learned from them and I grew.

136

Oh my gosh, it's not just my gem powers I've forgotten.

137

All this happily ever after stuff has made me forget the first power I ever had.

138

The power to change.

139

Wait!

140

You think the outside world is scary?

141

Well, you know what's really scary?

142

Fades!

143

Germs!

144

Frogs!

145

Crowds!

146

Eugh!

147

No. Letting fear make all your decisions for you.

148

Doesn't matter what they call you.

149

It's the deeds make the man.

150

Yeah, but my deeds just made things worse.

151

I'm a fraud.

152

I'm a phony.

153

My friends believed in me, but they need some kind of hero.

154

Then be a hero.

155

It's not about if I can.

156

I'm doing this because I want to.

157

I decided long ago that I'm going to be king of the pirates.

158

If I have to die fighting for that, then I die.

159

When you find yourself lost and disoriented and underwater and you don't know which way is off, it's important to breathe.

160

I don't deserve this.

161

I'm not a best actor.

162

Awards aren't about who's best, Bojack.

163

That's literally the only thing they're about.

164

No, all this means is that you're one of the special people.

165

I saw it the first time I met you.

166

You must have known it all your life.

167

And all your life, people told you that you were wrong.

168

That you weren't special.

169

That you were just like everybody else.

170

But now, the special people are saying, you were right, Bojack.

171

You were right.

172

Don't listen to them.

173

The world laughed at Da Vinci, too.

174

I'm not sure they did, Ma.

175

Dad, what did you think?

176

I think you're nuts.

177

You don't leave a steady job for some crazy dream.

178

And the worst part, you're bringing your brother down with you.

179

Well thanks, Dan.

180

Thanks for your support.

181

What'd I say?

182

You're not bringing me down.

183

You know what?

184

What do they know, huh?

185

That's not just them.

186

My whole lives everyone's telling us we can't do this, we can't do that.

187

Just sick and tired of feeling so small.

188

You know, I don't think I'm gonna go.

189

I don't know if I'm ready.

190

Ready for what?

191

I mean, what if it's not everything I want it to be?

192

I mean, sometimes the idea of something is better than the truth, you know?

193

I always prefer fiction to truth, personally.

194

I'd stake my career on it.

195

Yeah, that makes sense.

¿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.
