1
Anne of Green Gables.
2
Chapter 2.
3
Anne with an E.
4
Marilla opened the door.
5
She saw the odd girl in the ugly dress with long red braids and big eyes.
6
Matthew Cuthbert, who's that? she said.
7
Where's the boy?
8
There wasn't any boy, said Matthew slowly.
9
There was only her.
10
He nodded at the child.
11
He realized he didn't even know her name.
12
No boy?
13
But there must be a boy, insisted Marilla.
14
We asked Mrs. Spencer for a boy.
15
Well, I asked the station master and Mrs. Spencer didn't bring a boy, said Matthew.
16
I had to bring the girl home.
17
Well, what do we do now, asked Marilla.
18
During this conversation, the child was silent.
19
Suddenly, she understood what was happening.
20
You don't want me, she cried.
21
You don't want me because I'm not a boy.
22
I should have known.
23
Nobody ever did want me.
24
She burst into tears.
25
Neither Marilla nor Matthew knew what to do.
26
Finally, Marilla said, Well, well,
27
there's no need to cry.
28
You can stay here until we find out what happened.
29
What's your name?
30
The child stopped crying and asked eagerly,
31
Will you please call me Cordelia?
32
Call you Cordelia?
33
Is that your name? asked Marilla.
34
No, it's not exactly my name,
35
but I would love to be called Cordelia.
36
It's a beautiful name.
37
I don't know what you mean.
38
If Cordelia isn't your name, what is?
39
Marilla asked.
40
Anne Shirley, the girl answered.
41
But Anne is such an unromantic name.
42
Anne is a good, plain, sensible name, said Marilla.
43
It's all right, but I like Cordelia better.
44
If you must call me Anne,
45
please call me Anne spelled with an E, Anne said.
46
What does it matter how it's spelled,
47
asked Marilla, trying to stop a smile.
48
Oh, it looks so much nicer.
49
A-N-N looks horrible, but A-N-N-E looks more distinguished.
50
Did Mrs. Spencer bring any other orphans besides you, Marilla inquired.
51
She brought Lily Jones for herself, Anne answered.
52
Lily is only five years old and she is very beautiful.
53
She has nut brown hair.
54
If I were very beautiful and had nut brown hair,
55
would you keep me?
56
No, we want a boy to help Matthew on the farm.
57
A girl is no use.
58
Now, take off your hat and let's eat dinner.
59
Anne took off her hat and they sat down to eat.
60
But Anne could not eat.
61
She nibbled at the bread and butter and nibbled at the apple pie.
62
When dinner was finished, Marilla showed Anne to a spare bedroom.
63
Anne got into bed and put her head right under the covers.
64
Good night, Marilla said a little awkwardly, but kindly.
65
Suddenly, Anne's head reappeared.
66
How can you say it's a good night when you know it's the worst night I've ever had?
67
She cried.
68
She disappeared under the covers again.
69
Marilla went into the kitchen and started to wash the dishes.
70
Matthew sat on a chair, saying nothing.
71
One of us will have to take the girl back tomorrow, said Marilla.
72
I suppose so, said Matthew reluctantly.
73
You suppose so?
74
Marilla echoed.
75
Don't you know so?
76
Well, now she's a real nice little thing, Marilla.
77
It's a pity to send her back.
78
She likes it so much here, said Matthew.
79
Matthew Cuthbert, do you really think we should keep her?
80
said Marilla, astonished.
81
Well, no, not exactly, stammered Matthew.
82
Of course we cannot keep her, said Marilla.
83
What good would she be to us?
84
We might be some good to her, said Matthew unexpectedly.
85
Matthew Cuthbert, I can see that you want to keep her.
86
That girl has bewitched you.
87
Well, now, she's a real interesting little thing, said Matthew.
88
You should have heard her talk, coming from the station.
89
Oh, she can talk all right.
90
I don't like children that talk so much.
91
I don't want an orphan girl,
92
and if I did, it wouldn't be her.
93
The next morning, Anna woke and sat up in bed.
94
For a moment she couldn't remember where she was.
95
First she had a delightful thrill and then a horrible memory.
96
This was Green Gables, and they didn't want her because she wasn't a boy.
97
She got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast.
98
I'm pretty hungry this morning, she announced.
99
I'm glad it's such a sunny morning.
100
But I like rainy mornings as well.
101
All sorts of mornings are interesting, don't you think?
102
You don't know what's going to happen throughout the day.
103
Anything could happen.
104
For goodness sake, be quiet, said Marilla.
105
Anne obeyed and was so silent that it made Marilla nervous.
106
Matthew was also quiet, but this was natural,
107
so the meal was a very silent one.
108
After breakfast, Anne washed the dishes,
109
and then Marilla told her to go and play outside.
110
Anne ran to the door, excited.
111
Then she stopped suddenly, came back,
112
and sat at the table.
113
What's the matter now? said Marilla.
114
I can't go out, said Anne.
115
It's no use loving green gables.
116
If I go out and meet all those trees and flowers,
117
it'll just be harder to leave.
118
Marilla thought.
119
In all my life I never saw or heard anything like it.
120
She is kind of interesting, as Matthew says.
121
I am already wondering what she'll say next.
122
But when evening came, Marilla and Anne got in the buggy and left Green Gables.
123
They were on their way to Mrs. Spencer's house.
124
Mrs. Rachel Lind lived on the main road in Avonlea,
125
a town on Prince Edward Island off the coast of Canada.
126
Anybody...
127
Enjoy something if you try hard.
128
I'm not going to think about going back to the orphanage.
129
I'm just going to think about the drive.
130
Oh, look, there's a wild rose.

Why practice speaking with this video?

This engaging segment from Anne of Green Gables offers a rich context for practicing English speaking. By shadowing characters in a meaningful dialogue, learners can immerse themselves in the emotional nuances and social interactions central to the story. The video not only presents a charming narrative but also showcases real-life conversational dynamics, making it an excellent choice for IELTS speaking practice and enhancing your overall English fluency.

Using shadow speak techniques with this video helps learners grasp tones, expressions, and intent, improving their ability to communicate effectively. By mimicking the characters' dialogue, you not only increase your vocabulary but also develop a more natural speaking style. The context of a young girl's emotional journey can elicit empathetic expressions, leading to better pronunciation and rhythm in your speech.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

As you practice speaking along with Anne of Green Gables, pay attention to these key grammatical structures:

  • Conditional sentences: For example, “If Cordelia isn't your name, what is?” This usage illustrates how to create conditional phrases, facilitating hypothetical discussions.
  • Direct and indirect questions: Phrases like, “Where's the boy?” and “Will you please call me Cordelia?” showcase how to form questions appropriately in conversational English.
  • Reported speech: The exchange, “I had to bring the girl home,” shows how to convey someone else's speech and thoughts succinctly.
  • Descriptive adjectives: Words like “ugly” and “distinguished” demonstrate how adjectives enhance storytelling, enriching your vocabulary and expressive ability.

Common Pronunciation Traps

While watching this video, learners may encounter several tricky pronunciation aspects. Here are a few to focus on:

  • The name “Anne” pronounced as “Ahn” versus “An” may be confusing. Remember, emphasizing the “E” is essential—the conversation revolves around this distinction.
  • The phrase “you don't want me” can be challenging due to the intonation and emotion behind it. Practice expressing this with the right inflection and feeling to convey the sentiment accurately.
  • Pay attention to the word “Cordelia.” It has a melodic quality that can be difficult to mimic. Practice breaking it down: Cor-de-lia, maintaining a balanced rhythm.

To further improve your English pronunciation and speaking skills, consider using a shadowing app where you can record your voice and compare it with native speakers. This technique aids in overcoming any language barriers you may face as you practice your shadow speak skills and refine your spoken English.

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.
