and need a little bit of extra help cuckoo is an
93
old word people used to use to To describe someone who seems a bit crazy, it comes from the bird that makes a strange repetitive sound.
94
So a cuckoo's nest became a slang way of saying mental hospital or institution,

a place where people are sent if they're not mentally well.
96
The phrase became popular after the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest starring Jack Nicholson.
97

and everyone around him is an actor dice me slice me or peel me there's so many
104
dice slice and peel are all words that describe ways to cut

but truman uses them in a darkly humorous way to dice means to cut food into small cubes
107
or pieces to slice means to cut something into thin flat pieces
108
and to peel means to remove the outer skin
109
or layer from something usually food like fruit
110
or vegetables to do something means to take action immediately especially in a moment of panic fear

and wants someone else to step in now this is the
113
exact moment where Meryl breaks character she's supposed to be Truman's loving wife
114
but in her panic she looks straight at the camera
115
and yells do something this line reveals everything she's not a real wife she's an actress
116
and truman starts to realize something's a bit off here
117
so to break character means to stop pretending to drop the act
118
and show your real thoughts or feelings the phrase thank god is used
119
when someone feels relief or gratefulness usually because something bad was avoided or something good happened.
120
Thank God I didn't miss the train.
121
The phrase has religious roots.
122
People often give thanks to God for protection, blessings or good fortune.

124
Match these phrases with their definitions.
125
Thank God, nervous breakdown, unprofessional, not behaving properly at work, when someone can't cope.
126
Expression of relief or gratitude.

129
To carry on means to keep going or continue doing something even
130
when the situation is difficult
131
or frustrating the full phrase here means it's too hard to
132
keep working like this under these conditions this is another powerful moment meryl once again drops her fake smile

and the language truman uses as he starts questioning everything by
150
the way subtle means something that's not obvious small details

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.
