Création de la leçon...
1
I was working at a retail store on Black Friday when I saw a huge crack on the ceiling.
2
My heart skipped a beat because I knew this wasn't good.
3
I looked around, the store was packed beyond capacity.
4
I ran to my manager for help.
5
There's a crack in the ceiling.
6
I think we're over capacity.
7
For safety reasons, maybe we should remove people.
8
He cut me off.
9
We're about to hit $60 ,000 in sales today.
10
Get back to work or you're fired, peasant.
11
He didn't see customers.
12
He saw walking money bags.
13
I didn't want to get fired, so I went back to work.
14
But 15 minutes later, the crack was wider.
15
Dust was falling on customers' heads.
16
I went back to him.
17
"It's getting worse.
18
What if it collapses on everyone?" He pointed at his clipboard.
19
"We're at $87 ,000 in sales.
20
I don't care about a crack on the ceiling.
21
I care about chasing the bag.
22
Don't bother me again." My gut was telling me not to ignore it.
23
So I took a photo of the crack and sent it to my brother who's a contractor for advice.
24
He texted back immediately.
25
"Get everyone out now.
26
It will collapse and kill everyone." My heart dropped.
27
I started telling my co -workers.
28
They looked up and panicked.
29
The manager saw us and stormed over.
30
"Put that phone away or every single one of you is fired."
31
A huge chunk of the ceiling crashed down and shattered a TV display.
32
Customers screamed.
33
Without thinking, I ran and pulled the fire alarm.
34
Sprinklers went off.
35
Everyone started rushing toward the exits.
36
The manager charged at me.
37
What have you done?
38
You're paying for all of this.
39
Then the fire department showed up.
40
A firefighter looked at the building and told the manager, "This building is going to collapse any second.
41
You need to get out now." But my manager refused.
42
"You guys are pussycats.
43
We're about to hit $100 ,000.
44
I can't leave now." He walked back inside.
45
stood outside staring at the building, waiting for it to collapse.
46
You could hear the cracking from the parking lot.
47
Then the roof buckled.
48
The whole building folded in on itself.
49
Crash.
50
But my manager was still there with his clipboard.
51
It took rescue teams an hour to pull him out.
52
He was unconscious and broken.
53
I went to see him at the hospital, and he was in a full body cast.
54
His eyes followed me as I walked in.
55
I pulled up a chair and held up his clipboard.
56
$100 ,000 on the dot.
57
His eyes lit up.
58
He slowly raised his hand and gave me a thumbs up.
59
He was a poopy manager, I respected it.

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.
