Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Chapter 1 Down the Rabbit Hole On a golden summer afternoon,
2
Alice sat by the river.
3
Her older sister Charlotte sat beside her happily reading a book.
4
Feeling bored, Alice glanced at her sister's book.
5
What's the point of a book without pictures?
6
Alice asked.
7
Charlotte was too busy reading to reply.
8
Alice gave a tired sigh and thought about making a daisy chain.
9
However, that would require getting up to pick the daisies.
10
And the hot day was making Alice feel very tired and lazy.
11
Suddenly, a rabbit ran past the two girls.
12
He was white and wore a colorful vest.
13
Oh dear, oh dear, he cried.
14
I'm going to be late.
15
Alice was so sleepy that she didn't think a talking animal was strange.
16
But then the white rabbit pulled a watch from his vest pocket.
17
Rabbits don't wear vests, Alice said to herself.
18
And they certainly don't carry watches.
19
Alice jumped up and ran after the white rabbit.
20
Near a hedge, he popped down a large rabbit hole.
21
Alice followed right after him,
22
not thinking about how she'd get out.
23
Suddenly, she was falling.
24
Help!
25
Alice cried.
26
She felt as if she were falling down a deep well.
27
It was too dark to see anything below,
28
so Alice looked around as she fell.
29
The rabbit hole was lined with cupboards and shelves.
30
Maps and pictures decorated the walls.
31
Alice grabbed a jar labeled Orange Jam from one shelf.
32
She was disappointed to discover it was empty.
33
Oh.
34
If I drop this jar,
35
it might kill somebody below, Alice said.
36
She slipped it onto the next shelf she passed.
37
Alice continued to fall.
38
After this, I'll never get upset about just falling down some stairs.
39
Why, I won't even complain if I fall off the roof!
40
Down, down, down.
41
Would this fall ever end?
42
How many miles have I fallen by now?
43
Alice said.
44
I must be getting near the center of the Earth.
45
What if I fall right through the Earth?
46
Where would she end up?
47
Alice tried to remember her geography lessons.
48
I'll just have to ask the first person I meet.
49
I'll say, please, ma'am, is this New Zealand or Australia?
50
Alice was silent for a while.
51
But then she started thinking about Dinah, her cat.
52
I hope someone remembers to feed Dinah tonight, Alice said aloud.
53
Oh, Dinah, I wish you were here.
54
There aren't any mice in the air,
55
but you might catch a bat.
56
Do cats eat bats?
57
Do bats eat cats?
58
Alice didn't know the answer to either question.
59
And she was feeling so, so tired.
60
She was beginning to dream that she was walking hand in hand with Dinah.
61
Suddenly, Alice landed on a pile of sticks and dry leaves.
62
She wasn't hurt, so she jumped right up.
63
Ahead, the white rabbit was hurrying down a long passage.
64
I'd better catch up with that rabbit.
65
Alice ran as fast as she could.
66
Oh, my ears and whiskers.
67
It's getting very late.
68
The white rabbit said as he turned a corner.
69
Alice turned the corner too,
70
but the white rabbit had disappeared.
71
She was now in a long,
72
low hall with doors lining both walls.
73
Lamps hanging from the ceiling dimly illuminated the hall.
74
The white rabbit must have gone through one of these doors, Alice said.
75
She walked down one side of the hall trying every door.
76
They were all locked.
77
She walked up the other side of the hall.
78
Those doors were locked too.
79
Alice stood sadly in the middle of the hall.
80
How will I ever get out of here?
81
She cried.
82
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Chapter 2 A Strange Drink Looking around the dimly lit hall,
83
Alice spotted a glass table.
84
On top of it lay a tiny gold key.
85
I wonder if this will unlock a door,
86
Alice said as she picked up the key.
87
She tried the key in every door on both sides of the hall.
88
It was too small, but Alice didn't give up.
89
She tried again, and this time she discovered a small curtain.
90
Hmm.
91
This wasn't here before, Alice said, pulling aside the curtain.
92
Behind it was a door about 15 inches high.
93
and the tiny gold key fit perfectly.
94
Alice opened the door and knelt down.
95
She peered through a small passage to a beautiful garden.
96
Wow!
97
That's the loveliest garden I've ever seen, she said.
98
Look at those flowers and that fountain!
99
Alice wanted to wander through the garden,
100
but she was too big.
101
She wished she could make herself small enough to fit through the door.
102
I'm sure I could, if only I knew how to begin, she said.
103
So many strange things had already happened that nothing seemed impossible anymore.
104
There is no point in waiting by the little door, Alice thought.
105
She headed back to the table.
106
Maybe there will be another key,
107
or instructions for shrinking myself, Alice said.
108
Instead, she found a bottle which had definitely not been there before.
109
Tied around its neck was a paper label.
110
Drink me, it said in large, beautiful letters.
111
I'm not going to drink some strange liquid, Alice said.
112
That could be poison.
113
Alice examined the label carefully,
114
but there was no mention of poison.
115
So she decided to take a sip.
116
Mmm, that's delicious!
117
Alice licked her lips.
118
It's like a mixture of cherry tart,
119
pineapple, roast turkey, and buttered toast.
120
Alice licked her lips.
121
It's like a mixture of cherry tart,
122
pineapple, roast turkey, and buttered toast.
123
Alice liked the liquid so much that she soon finished the whole bottle.
124
And then something strange began to happen.
125
What an odd feeling.
126
Alice looked around her.
127
I seem to be shrinking.
128
And indeed, Alice was only ten inches high,
129
but she was not upset.
130
She was now the perfect size to fit through the little door.
131
Alice was eager to enter the garden,
132
but she waited a few minutes.
133
I want to be sure I've finished shrinking, she said.
134
What if I keep shrinking until there's nothing left of me?
135
Fortunately for Alice, that didn't happen.
136
So she walked over to the little door,
137
which had mysteriously closed again.
138
Alice reached in her pocket for the key.
139
Oh no!
140
I left the key on the table!
141
Alice raced back to the table.
142
She could see the key quite clearly through the glass.
143
But there was no way she could reach it.
144
Trying to climb one of the glass legs,
145
Alice slid back to the floor.
146
The leg was so slippery.
147
Still, she kept trying until she was exhausted.
148
Alice sat down and cried,
149
but that only lasted for a minute.
150
Crying won't help you, Alice said to herself.
151
She wiped her eyes.
152
Now there was a glass box under the table.
153
Inside was a cake with the words Eat Me spelled out in raisins.
154
If this cake makes me grow larger,
155
I can reach the key, Alice said.
156
If I grow smaller, I can creep under the door.
157
Either way, I'll get into that garden.
158
Alice took a bite and nothing happened.
159
She was very disappointed because she now expected strange things to occur.
160
This is a useless cake, Alice said.
161
But she ate it all anyway.
162
And then she began to grow.
163
Things are getting stranger by the minute,
164
Alice said as she kept growing.
165
When she looked down, her feet were almost out of sight.
166
Goodbye, feet, Alice said.
167
I wonder who will put on your shoes and socks.
168
I will be much too far away to help you.
169
Then she began to worry.
170
What if her feet wouldn't walk where she wanted to go?
171
It must be nice to them.
172
I'll give them a new pair of boots every Christmas.
173
But it will seem strange to send presents to my own feet.
174
Oh, dear.
175
I am talking nonsense.
176
Just then, her head hit the whole ceiling.
177
Alice kept growing.
178
She was more than nine feet tall, but she wasn't upset.
179
Now she was big enough to reach the gold key on the glass table.
180
Alice picked up the key and hurried to the garden door.
181
Poor Alice.
182
She was so big.
183
If she lay on her side,
184
she could look into the garden with one eye.
185
As for getting into the garden,
186
that was harder than ever.
187
Alice started to cry again.
188
She tried scolding herself, but that only made her cry harder.
189
Alice cried buckets of tears.
190
A large pool formed around her four inches deep and spreading halfway down the hall.
191
After a while, Alice heard footsteps in the distance.
192
She quickly wiped her eyes so she could see who was coming.
193
It was the white rabbit,
194
wearing a jacket and carrying white gloves and a fan.
195
He trotted through the dark hall muttering to himself.
196
The Duchess, the Duchess, she'll be very angry if I've kept her waiting.
197
Alice was feeling very desperate by now.
198
She was willing to ask for help from anyone, even a talking rabbit.
199
She waited until the white rabbit was nearby before speaking in a quiet, timid voice.
200
Please, sir!
201
Startled, the white rabbit dropped his gloves and fan.
202
He ran as fast as he could into the darkness.
203
Alice picked up the rabbit's things.
204
She began to fan herself because the hall was very hot.
205
How strange everything is today, Alice said.
206
Yesterday everything was normal.
207
I wonder if I somehow changed overnight.
208
I almost think I did feel a little different this morning.
209
Alice continued to fan herself.
210
Maybe I've been changed into another person.
211
She thought about all her friends.
212
She hadn't been changed into any of them.
213
Alice burst into tears again.
214
I wish Charlotte would look down this rabbit hole and call my name.
215
I'm so tired of being here all alone.
216
As she said this, she looked down.
217
She saw that she'd put on one of the white rabbit's gloves.
218
How can his glove fit me?
219
It must be shrinking again.
220
Alice ran back to the table and stood next to it for comparison.
221
She decided that she was about two feet high.
222
And she was continuing to shrink.
223
It must be the fan, Alice said.
224
She dropped it to save herself from completely disappearing.
225
That was a narrow escape.
226
And now for the garden.
227
Alice ran back to the garden door.
228
But it was locked again and she didn't have the key.
229
She searched the hall and found the key on the glass table.
230
How did the key get here?
231
Alice looked up at it in despair.
232
Things are worse than ever because I've never been this small before.
233
Just as she said this, her foot slipped.
234
Whoa!
235
Alice fell up to her chin in salt water.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
