Wukong blocked the rake with his iron bar.

Clang!

"Oof !" cried the pig.

I am Sun Wukong!
18
500 years ago I caused lots of trouble in heaven!

The Jade Emperor's entire army couldn't stop me.

"I've heard of you," said the pig.
21
But you don't seem so powerful to me.

He lunged at the monkey again.
23
Wukong jumped out of the way.
24
I thought you were being punished.
25
said the pig.

27
Weren't you trapped under a mountain?
28
"I'm free now," said Wukong.
29
I'm going to the west with the Tang Monk to...
30
"Katang, Monk !" cried the pig.
31
He dropped his rake.
32
I'm supposed to go with him too.
33
You are?

35
- Thank you.
36
"I was sent to Earth as a punishment," said the pig.
37
My name is Zubajay.
38
I cause trouble in heaven, too.
39
Guan Yin said I would be forgiven if I helped protect the Tang Monk.
40
Thank you.
41
Wukong rubbed his chin.
42
"Okay," he said.
43
"You can carry the bags." Zubha Jay joined the group and the three of them continued west.
44
As they traveled, the pig kept complaining.
45
These bags are so heavy!
46
Do we really need to bring them?
47
Stop complaining!

56
How can you be hungry again?
57

Ba -Jae and Wukong quickly pulled out their weapons.
60
Who are you? yelled Bha J What are you doing here?
61
My master, the great king Yellow Wind, is hosting a feast.
62
Said the tiger.
63
He looked at the Tang Monk.
64
"I'm gathering people to eat." The Tang Monk's face turned pale, and he fell off his horse.
65
"Don't you dare harm our master !" Bha -J warned.
66
He is the Tang Monk.
67
He's going to the west to get the true scriptures.

The tiger tumbled over.

Wukong and Ba -Jay ran after the tiger.
78
For a moment they lost him.
79
Then, they spotted a flash of orange behind some bushes.
80
"There he is !" whispered Bhaje.
81
The monkey and pig sneaked up to the bushes.
82
But the tiger wasn't there.
83
Instead, a tiger's skin lay over a rock.

We are great protectors.

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.
