Perrine was a young, smart and brave girl.
5
Her mother was very sick and tired.
6
They had almost no money, and they slept wherever they could find a safe place.
7
Perrine's father had died, and her mother wanted to return to Maracore because Perrine's grandfather lived there.

With a heavy heart, she promised her mother to be strong and keep going.

She continued the difficult walk to Maricor all by herself When Perrine finally arrived in Maricor she was dirty,

She knew that her grandfather was angry with her parents long ago, so she decided to be careful.

Perrine needed to find food and a place to sleep.
17
She found a small hidden cave near a pond and she made it her secret little home.
18
To survive, she worked hard.
19
She used her clever hands to make small things and she helped people in the village.

Slowly people began to like her because she was kind, honest and very hard -working.
21
Perrine wanted to get closer to her grandfather to understand him better.
22
She went to the big factory and applied for a job.
23
Because she spoke English and French very well, and because she was so smart, she got a job working in the factory office.
24
She worked under a fake name, Aurelie.
25
Even though she worked hard every day, she always kept a close eye on her grandfather, Mr Wolfram.
26
He was an old, lonely man, who looked very sad and angry all the time.
27
He did not have anyone to love him.

Perrine felt sorry for him and wanted to help him heal his lonely heart.
29
Perrine was not only smart, she was also very creative.

Perrine took great care of him.
40
She made his room brighter, gave him good advice, and brought joy back into his big, cold house.

One day, Mr. Wolfram found out the amazing truth.

and brought light into his dark life was his own flesh and blood.
47
From that day on, Perrine was no longer lonely.

70
It really is a tearjerker.
71
The story we just heard, Perrine's Journey, is based on the famous French novel En Femme by Hector Melot.
72

76
But I loved how clever she was.

Now, Margaret's reading was packed with some wonderful everyday English phrases.
86
Let's look at a few, shall we?
87
Let's get into it.
88
In chapter one, it says, With a heavy heart, she promised her mother to be strong and keep going.
89
A heavy heart is a beautiful idiom.
90
It means doing something with a lot of sadness, as if sorrow is a physical weight inside your chest.
91
For example, With a heavy heart, I sold my childhood home.
92
Spot on.
93
And right after that.. she promises to keep going.
94
This simply means to not stop, even when things are incredibly difficult.
95
Like learning English grammar.
96
Sometimes it's tough, but you just have to keep going.
97
Now, jumping to chapter three, the story says Perrine always kept a close eye on her grandfather.
98
To keep a close eye on someone or something means to watch them very carefully.
99
Like if I'm cooking, I might say, Olivia, keep an eye on this soup so it doesn't burn.
100
Or, Harry, keep a close eye on your puppy so he doesn't chew my best shoes again.
101
Oops, point taken.
102
Sorry about the shoes.
103
Let's quickly move on to chapter five before you get angry.
104
The big reveal.
105
All right, Mr Volfren sees a striking resemblance in Perrine's eyes.
106
This means two people look incredibly similar.
107
It's so obvious that it strikes or hits you.
108
You can't miss it.
109
Like me and my dad.
110
We have the exact same nose.
111
And finally, Mr Wolfram realises she's his flesh and blood.
112

113
It emphasises that deep biological human connection.
114

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.
