1
Fixie's School Shhh!
2
Beauty!
3
Hey, come on!
4
Wow!
5
You're such a show-off, Erda! And one!
6
Ha!
7
Check that out!
8
What's going on?
9
It's a shame Fire didn't see that.
10
I'm just training for school.
11
You're the one that's doing all these twists and turns for fire.
12
Me?
13
It never even crossed my mind.
14
Nolik, slow down!
15
Tua, why don't we go and play some chess?
16
Don't you think that figure skating's beautiful?
17
Turn me!
18
How come?
19
Why did you yell like that?
20
I just got a pair of tickets to see the one and only Vector.
21
Splendid!
22
And who's going with you?
23
Actually, I don't know.
24
I haven't thought about it yet.
25
What's there to think about?
26
Just invite the most beautiful girl in our school, right?
27
Yeah, not a bad idea, my friend.
28
Woo-hoo-hoo!
29
Did you hear that?
30
The most beautiful one will get invited.
31
Well, I'm not even interested.
32
And you know what?
33
Neither am I.
34
Our world is full of beauty.
35
There seems to be no end to the beautiful plants and animals, and the gorgeous mountains, forests, and lakes.
36
But even that's not enough for people.
37
They create their own handmade beauty, too.
38
Artists paint beautiful pictures.
39
Composers write beautiful music.
40
Architects create beautiful buildings.
41
And fashion designers make beautiful clothes.
42
Not even scientists stay out of it.
43
They create beautiful ideas.
44
These ideas can be the basis for the creation of new technologies that make people's lives better.
45
Everyone has their own idea of what's beautiful.
46
There are as many opinions as there are people.
47
But everyone tries in their own way to be beautiful.
48
Both people and Fixies.
49
Please help me, Tula.
50
How can I become beautiful?
51
Huh.
52
I don't know.
53
Go and ask Verda.
54
Look at her.
55
She's got it.
56
What has she got?
57
What's the most beautiful thing about her?
58
Oh, well, her hairpin, her hairstyle.
59
The green looks great on her.
60
Green looks great.
61
Aha.
62
Okay, see you later.
63
Tula.
64
What's your opinion?
65
Fire, do you think he likes Simka?
66
Looks like he does.
67
Is it because she's a redhead?
68
Orange?
69
Hmm, now I get it.
70
Well, is that close to her color?
71
Not really.
72
It needs more green.
73
What makes a person really beautiful?
74
Fancy clothing?
75
Bright nail polish?
76
Dyed hair?
77
Those don't make you look your best.
78
Here's a much more reliable recipe.
79
First, wash up and comb your hair.
80
See?
81
You're looking more beautiful already.
82
Now change those dirty and wrinkly clothes for clean ones.
83
Huh?
84
That's even more beautiful!
85
And finally, if you eat less sweets and get plenty of exercise, then you'll surely become a handsome boy!
86
Or a gorgeous girl!
87
Fire?
88
What's up?
89
Do you think you could get an autograph from Vector for me?
90
You got it!
91
I love his song so much!
92
So do I!
93
Especially that one that goes...
94
Computer, computer, computer, you are super.
95
I play my computer and turn it up real loud.
96
I play it all morning, all day and through the night time.
97
But no, no, no, no, no, that's not allowed.
98
I had no idea you were such a fanatic.
99
You know, I'm not going to get you his autograph.
100
Why won't you?
101
Because you'll get it yourself.
102
You know what I got?
103
An extra ticket.
104
I thought you were going to take the most beautiful girl.
105
All of you are beautiful, and you're the most fun to be around.
106
Let's go.
107
Stop!
108
Hang on!
109
Simka?
110
Or is it Verda?
111
Where are you going?
112
What do you mean where?
113
To the concert!
114
Verda?
115
No, Simka.
116
Or vice versa.
117
I'm so confused.
118
Come on, Tula.
119
Can't you recognize them?
120
This one's Simka, that one's Verda.
121
Let's go or we'll be late.
122
Hmm.
123
Blondes are always the lucky ones.
124
Yeah.
125
I guess we should have made our hair blonde like Tula's.
126
The Sith.
127
Dad, what time is Mom getting back from her conference?
128
She'll be back in an hour.
129
What surprise can we make for her?
130
Let's bake her buns with raisins in them.
131
They're her favorite.
132
That's a great idea.
133
Where do we keep our recipes?
134
They're not here.
135
Where could they be?
136
What are you looking for?
137
A recipe.
138
They're in the drawer by the stove.
139
Over there.
140
Great.
141
Thanks a lot.
142
Here they are.
143
That's fantastic.
144
Let's see.
145
What do we need?
146
Milk.
147
Flour.
148
Eggs.
149
Some cinnamon and raisins.
150
The cinnamon's right there.
151
But you're out of raisins.
152
Uh, we're out of raisins.
153
Can we make them without?
154
No, Mom loves them with raisins.
155
It's too late.
156
The stores are closed.
157
Cereal!
158
We got cereal! And so?
159
It has raisins!
160
Look!
161
Tom Thomas, you're a genius!
162
Miss, why don't you be in charge of the raisins?
163
Tom Thomas, what does mom use to knead dough?
164
The mixer.
165
How about the mixer?
166
Hmm, not a bad idea.
167
I don't think you have enough raisins.
168
But you haven't made the dough yet.
169
It'll be really quick with the mixer.
170
All right, Dad, we'll see who finishes first.
171
Come on, faster, faster.
172
Don't be so clumsy.
173
If you think you're so good, then why don't you help?
174
Fine, we'll help.
175
Catch!
176
What's going on in there?
177
We picked everything off the top.
178
We have to dive down.
179
Then dive.
180
Hurry up.
181
Dad's almost done putting the mixer together. Where are the raisins?
182
It's dark down there.
183
We can't see any raisins.
184
Well, try diving again.
185
No, this way won't work.
186
We need a filter.
187
In order to separate seeds from the husk, air from dust, and water from harmful particles, we use filters.
188
The simplest kind of filter is a metal netting.
189
These kinds of filters are installed in washing machines and dishwashers.
190
They keep the water clean by capturing small debris and sand.
191
As a result, machines work better and go longer without breaking.
192
In other words, filters help separate what is wanted from what isn't.
193
I think I know what Mom uses.
194
Perfect!
195
That filter's a sieve.
196
Grab the bowl and hold the sieve over it.
197
Pour in the cereal.
198
Now shake it so the tiny flakes fall through the sift and the raisins stay in it.
199
Dad's turning the mixer on.
200
Then you need to shake faster.
201
Dad!
202
You're spraying the batter all over the kitchen!
203
The mixer's too powerful!
204
The mixer's fine.
205
The batter's too liquid.
206
You have to add flour!
207
Add flour!
208
Oh, right!
209
How do you know all this?
210
Shake it some more!
211
No need.
212
I shook all the flakes through it.
213
Glass!
214
It really worked!
215
Dad!
216
What?
217
Ready to put in the raisins?
218
Look at you!
219
How did you get them all out so fast?
220
By using our sieve, Dad!
221
Do you know the story about Cinderella?
222
Her evil stepmother wouldn't let her go to the ball.
223
Instead, she poured peas into a sack of cinder and ordered Cinderella to pick them all out.
224
But what most people don't know is
225
that it was Fixies who helped her separate the peas from Cinder with the help of a sieve.
226
That's right!
227
Cinderella was friends with the Fixies.
228
You can find evidence of Fixies in a number of tales.
229
Don't Tom Thumb or Thumbelina remind you of somebody?
230
How did these tiny characters make their way into fairy tales?
231
It's quite possible that long ago, a Fixie who wasn't paying attention was spotted by a storyteller.
232
And that became the inspiration for countless tales.
233
All right, you can open your eyes.
234
Ta-da!
235
Beautiful!
236
Whose idea was this?
237
Tom Thomas.
238
Mmm, they're so good!
239
What recipe is this?
240
Tom Thomas found it.
241
And you remembered that I love raisins.
242
Tom Thomas sifted them out of the cereal.
243
Well done, Tom Thomas.
244
All by yourself?
245
Shhh!
246
I should say so.
247
Teeesh!

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.
