Création de la leçon...
1
I know this time of year can mean a lot of different things to different mammals, as our city is ever so colorful.
2
For some, it's lights and music and warm places to gather, while others may face hardships during these times.
3
That's why I find it important to say this.
4
Zootopia is a city that belongs to all of us.
5
It is with great pleasure that I announce we have taken important steps to make sure that's more than just a slogan.
6
With the seizure of the assets of the now disgraced Linksley family,
7
tremendous resources can finally be returned to where they belong affordable housing, transportation, health care, and most importantly,
8
shelter for those in need.
9
If you're celebrating tonight, I hope you have a wonderful time.
10
And if you're struggling, please know that my door is always open.
11
Our city is listening.
12
And together, we will keep making Zootopia a place that not only welcomes everyone, but strives to make the world a better place.
13
Because we are better.
14
Zu -getta.
15
Welcome back, you two.
16
I understand you've finally managed to catch yourselves.
17
A well -deserved break.
18
We're excited to get back to work.
19
Glad to hear that.
20
But first, there is something we need to discuss.
21
I have filed for retirement.
22
It is very likely that...
23
Hogbottom will be taking over the department at the start of next year.
24
You are leaving, sir?
25
I am getting old, Detective Hopps.
26
I promised myself I wouldn't make this decision.
27
Unless I knew the department was in good hands.
28
Luckily, I have very capable officers who I know will do everything in their power to protect this city.
29
You flatter me, sir.
30
Don't ruin it.
31
In any case, I thought you should hear it from me.
32
We appreciate it, Chief.
33
Actually, there's one thing we wanted to ask.
34
I'm listening.
35
We were thinking, and we would like a demotion, sir.
36
We think we could do more good if we were out on the streets with the people.
37
We fear they might find another way to start smuggling something even worse into the city.
38
We need to be out there.
39
Is this Sergeant Wilde's idea?
40
Or yours, Hopps?
41
It was.. a mutual decision.
42
Well, I don't.. see why not.
43
Precinct 1 always needs more patrols.
44
Thank you, sir.
45
Make sure to teach our newbies something useful while you're out there.
46
These new recruits are really sloppy.
47
We'll show them how it's done, sir.
48
I didn't doubt that for a second, Sergeant.
49
We need to stop by my old place and pick up a few boxes.
50
What?
51
I thought we had everything.
52
It's just a few books I still want to read.
53
What the hell?
54
Look at that.
55
Hey, who put our names up on the betting pool?
56
I bet a hundred on you, Wild.
57
Hurry it up, Bluff.
58
Your neighbors are giving me the creeps.
59
I'm gonna miss this place.
60
How many books do you read a day, darling?
61
I'm not giving you a hard time about your video games.
62
And you leave me to read in peace.
63
That was the deal.
64
Hey, we'll miss you, buddy.
65
Yeah, we'll miss you, buddy.
66
But we thought you'd at least come over to say goodbye.
67
Leave her alone.
68
She's about to start a brand new chapter in her life.
69
She's under a lot of stress.
70
Shut up.
71
No, you shut up.
72
No, you shut up.
73
No, you shut up.
74
This land is your land, and this land is my land.
75
From the California to the New York Island From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
76
This land was made for you and me
77
As I went a -walkin' that ribbon of hair highway I saw above me
78
that endless skyway saw below me that golden valley this land was made for you and me
79
I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps to the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts.
80
All around me a voice was sounding, this land was made for you and me.
81
When the sun comes shining, I was strolling, the wheat fields waving,
82
the dust plows rolling, the voices chanting,
83
the fog was lifting, this land was made for you and me.
84
This land is your land
85
and this land is my land From California to the New York Island From Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
86
This land was made for you and me When the sun comes shining and I was strolling The wheat fields waving,
87
the dust clouds rolling The boys coming chanting and the fog was lifting This land was made for you and me

What Speaking Skills Can You Build with This Clip?

This video is perfect for practicing conversational fluency in professional and emotional contexts. The dialogue shifts between formal announcements, heartfelt goodbyes, and strategic decision-making—mirroring real-life interactions. It helps you master how to convey sincerity, negotiate ideas, and respond to unexpected news, all while keeping your speech natural. Try using the shadowing technique here: repeat lines right after the speakers to match their pace and tone, a great way to build confidence in dynamic conversations.

Useful Phrases to Add to Your Toolkit

  • "It is with great pleasure that I announce..." – Ideal for formal announcements.
  • "We fear they might find another way to..." – Expressing concern about future risks.
  • "Make sure to teach our newbies something useful" – Casual yet professional advice.
  • "I didn't doubt that for a second" – Reassuring someone of your confidence in them.
  • "It was a mutual decision" – Clarifying shared responsibility.

These phrases work in workplaces, community meetings, or even personal discussions. Practice saying them aloud, or use a shadowing app to record yourself and compare with the video.

Fix Your Pronunciation and Rhythm

The speakers in this clip use varied intonation—from the Chief's authoritative tone to Judy and Nick's determined yet respectful requests. Notice how pauses are used after important statements (e.g., "I have filed for retirement.") to emphasize gravity. A common challenge here is stressing the right words in longer sentences, like "tremendous resources can finally be returned to where they belong." Use shadow speech to mimic the rhythm: pause where the speakers pause, and stress words like "finally" and "belong" to convey meaning. Tools like shadowspeaks can help you slow down the audio, making it easier to follow along. With practice, you'll learn to make your speech sound more natural and engaging, just like the characters in the video.

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.
