1
I was laid to rest on a Monday.
2
After the funeral, all the residents of Wisteria Lane came to pay their respects.
3
And, as people do in these situations, they brought food.
4
Lynette Scavo brought fried chicken.
5
Lynette had a great family recipe for fried chicken.
6
Of course, she didn't cook much while she was moving up the corporate ladder.
7
She didn't have the time.
8
But when her doctor announced Lynette was pregnant, her husband Tom had an idea.
9
Why not quit your job?
10
Kids do better with stay-at-home moms.
11
It would be so much less stressful.
12
But this was not the case.
13
In fact, Lynette's life had become so hectic, she was now forced to get her fried chicken from a fast-food restaurant.
14
Lynette would have appreciated the irony if she stopped to think about it, but she couldn't.
15
She didn't have the time.
16
Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it!
17
No!
18
You are going to behave today.
19
I am not going to be humiliated in front of the entire neighborhood.
20
And, just so you know how serious I am...
21
What's that?
22
Santa's cell phone number.
23
How'd you get that?
24
I know someone who knows someone who knows an elf.
25
And if any of you acts up, so help me, I will call Santa, and I will tell him you want socks for Christmas.
26
You willing to risk that?
27
Uh-uh.
28
Okay.
29
Let's get this over with.
30
Gabrielle Solis, who lives down the block, brought a spicy paella.
31
Since her modeling days in New York, Gabrielle had developed a taste for rich food and rich men.
32
Carlos, who worked in mergers and acquisitions, proposed on their third date.
33
Gabrielle was touched when tears welled up in his eyes.
34
But she soon discovered this happened every time Carlos closed a big deal.
35
Gabrielle liked her paella piping hot.
36
However, her relationship with her husband was considerably cooler.
37
If you talk to Al Mason at this thing, I want you to casually mention how much I paid for your necklace.
38
Why don't I just pin the receipt to my chest?
39
He let me know how much you paid for his wife's new convertible.
40
Look, just work it into the conversation.
41
There's no way I can just work that in, Carlos.
42
Why not?
43
At the Donahue party, everyone was talking mutual funds, and you found a way to mention you slept with half the Yankee outfield.
44
I'm telling you it came up in the context of the conversation.
45
Hey, people are starting to stare.
46
Can you keep your voice down, please?
47
Absolutely.
48
I wouldn't want them to think we're not happy.
49
Three van de camp who lives next door brought baskets of muffins she baked from scratch.
50
Brie was known for her cooking.
51
And for making her own clothes.
52
And for doing her own gardening.
53
And for reupholstering her own furniture.
54
Yes, Brie's many talents were known throughout the neighborhood.
55
And everyone on Wisteria Lane thought of Brie as the perfect wife and mother.
56
Everyone, that is, except her own family.
57
Oh, Paul.
58
Zachary.
59
Hello, Mrs. Vandekamp.
60
Bree, you shouldn't have gone to all this trouble.
61
It was no trouble at all.
62
Now, the basket with the red ribbon is filled with desserts for your guests, but the one with the blue ribbon is just for you and Zachary.
63
It's got rolls, muffins, breakfast-type things.
64
Thank you.
65
Well, the least I could do is make sure you boys had a decent meal to look forward to in the morning.
66
I know you're out of your minds with grief.
67
Yes, we are.
68
Of course, I will need the baskets back once you're done. Of course.
69
Susan Mayer, who lives across the street, brought macaroni and cheese.
70
Her husband Carl always teased her about her macaroni, saying it was the only thing she knew how to cook, and she rarely made it well.
71
It was too salty the night she and Carl moved into their house.
72
It was too watery the night she found lipstick on Carl's shirt.
73
Carl's shirt.
74
She burned it the night Carl told her he was leaving her for his secretary.
75
A year had passed since the divorce.
76
Susan had started to think how nice it would be to have a man in her life, even one who would make fun of her cooking.

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.
