Why are you packing?
2
We were only joking.
3
Oh.
4
Just a joke?
5
You two can handle everything.
6
We won't slow you down.
7
You made our work sound useless.
8
Now show us you can do it.

Maya!
12
Go, Dad!
13
Team boys can't be stopped!
14
Done!
15
Another win for team boys!
16
This is a little crooked!
17
These jobs just need strength!
18
Boys are better at them!
19
Do you really think strength is enough?
20
So this family works better without us?
21
It's easy!
22
Leo and I can handle it!
23
Mom, I've heard enough!
24
Why are you packing?
25
We were only joking.
26
These flower beds are full of weeds.
27
Let's rebuild the garden together.
28
I'll plant flowers with you, Mom.
29
Leo and I can fix the fence and move the heavy pots.
30
Alright, Dad.
31
Strong man will finish fast.
32
Then let's make it a contest.
33
Team boys against team girls.
34
Deal! That sounds interesting!
35
Team girls is ready!
36
Ha!
37
Ready, Leo?
38
Lift carefully and keep the pot steady.
39
Slowly, Maya.
40
We don't want to hurt the roots.
41
One, two, three!
42
Ha!
43
See?
44
This is easy for us.
45
Oh, it's so heavy for us.
46
The win goes to Team Boy!
47
Ha!
48
Ha!
49
Fast doesn't always mean the job is done well.
50
Go, Dad!
51
Team Boy's can't be stopped!
52
Done!
53
Another win for team boys!
54
This is a little crooked!
55
It still stands!
56
That means we win!
57
Yeah!
58
These jobs just need strength!
59
Boys are better at them!
60
Do you really think strength is enough?
61
who cooks, cleans, and remembers what every plant needs.
62
Those are easy jobs.
63
Dad and I can do them.
64
So you think our work is easy?
65
Leo and I can manage without you two.
66
Without us, you'd forget half these plants.
67
No way.
68
Dad and I can handle everything.
69
Everything?
70
Cooking, cleaning, gardening, all of it?
71
Yes.
72
We can do it faster our way.
73
So this family works better without us?
74
It's easy.
75
Leo and I can handle it.
76
Mom, I've heard enough.
77
Let's give them a chance to prove it.
78
Why are you packing?
79
We were only joking.
80
Oh!
81
Just a joke?
82
You two can handle everything.
83
We won't slow you down.
84
You made our work sound useless.
85
Now show us you can do it.
86
Huh?
87
No!
88
Grace!
89
Maya!
90
Hmm...
91
It's easy to.. up, right?
92
It feels much bigger without Mom and Maya here.
93
More water means faster watering.
94
Dad!
95
The flowers are bending!
96
These look thirsty.
97
I'll give them lots of water.
98
You missed the new flowers, Leo.
99
Dad, what are you doing?
100
Calm, boy.
101
Just a small problem.
102
Oh, no. I thought that branch was dead.
103
Just took care of the garden.
104
What about all the other housework?
105
I think we were wrong, Leo.
106
We need to do something and apologize to them.
107
Dad, I hope Mom and Maya forgive us.
108
Dad?
109
Leo?
110
What are you doing here?
111
Grace, I'm sorry.
112
Your work matters just as much as mine.
113
I'm sorry, Maya, too.
114
Alright, we'll let this go.
115
We went too far.
116
Everyone has different strengths Respect each other Goodbye, see you soon
117

122
Wow, there is a big sale at the supermarket.
123

225
Don't ask me anymore, please.
226
What's wrong, my dear?
227
Can you please tell us?
228
I think I drew really badly in this competition.
229
Why do you think like that?
230
Because I saw the other who did better than I.
231
Don't compare yourself to others, my girl.
232
You are number one.
233
No one can compare.
234
Leo is right.
235
We're always proud of you.

Maybe in two weeks.
238
I can't wait.
239
I wish we knew Maya's prize right now.
240
You're so noisy, Leo.
241
Leo, please be patient and wait until Maya gets the official result, Guy.
242
The test is already finished.
243
Just relax, Maya.
244
Heise.
245
Maybe I should practice more and more.
246
Maya, you have a letter.
247
Oh, the contest result letter?
248
Wait for me, Dad!
249
Here you are, girl.
250
I bet you got the very good prize.
251

252
You must have faith in your talent, my dear.
253
I'm so excited!
254
Go ahead and open it, Maya!
255

325
I need help!
326
Ah, a police officer.
327

328

330
We have an emergency.
331
We need to stop a blue truck right now.
332
Please hurry, sir.
333
He must be so scared.
334
Look, there's the blue truck.
335
Pull over.
336
Stop your truck right now.
337
Rock and roll, baby!
338

Exactly!
372
I'm sure that Maya took my money from here!
373
Maya!
374
Did you take my money from my school bag?
375
What are you saying?
376
I don't understand you, Sarah.
377
You just put my money into your bag, right?
378
No, I'm just putting my notebook in here.
379
I was just picking up my blue pencil.
380
My pen fell down, so I had to pick it up.
381
I don't believe your story.
382
You are a big liar.
383
Trust me, please Sarah.
384
Everyone, look!
385
Maya is a thief.
386
She took my money.
387
No. I'm not.
388
I'm not.
389
I am going to tell our teacher about this right now.
390
Teacher, Maya stole my money from my bag.
391
It's not true.
392
I didn't do that teacher.
393
Let's find the truth together now.
394
Sarah, did you check every corner of your school bag?
395
Yes, I searched everything, but the money is not there.
396
Let's check it one more time together, my dear.
397
Nothing teacher.
398
What about the small pocket over here, Sarah?
399
Oh!
400
I will check it.
401
Uh...
402
I found it.
403
My money.
404
See?
405
That's your cash.
406
I put it here and forgot.
407
Oh, it's my fault, teacher.
408
You should say sorry to Maya, not to me.
409
You hurt Maya's feelings because you are too careless.
410
Now, please apologize to Maya from your heart, Sarah.
411
I'm so sorry, Maya.
412
Please forgive me for my mistake.
413
It's okay, Sarah.
414
I'm not angry with you anymore.
415
Can we hug?
416
Thank you, Maya.
417
The friendship is so incredible, right?
418
Friends should always believe and trust each other.
419
Stay calm and think carefully before you blame your friends.
420
Let's be kind and love our friends every time.

424
A real soccer ball!
425
Ha ha!
426
Look at me!
427
I'm so skillful!
428
We owe shoots and scores!
429
Oh no!
430
Leo, watch out!
431
Oh no!
432
I broke it!
433
If I pay for it, I can't buy my shoes!
434
If I pay for it, I can't buy my shoes.
435
Wait!
436
Look at that store!
437
Wow!
438
So many soccer stuffs here!
439
Those blue shoes are perfect!
440
I could score a big goal with them!
441
Ha ha ha ha!
442
You really like them, buddy.
443
Dad, did you see the spikes? So cool!
444
Ha ha ha!
445
You've talked about those shoes all the way home.
446
I need to count my money in my piggy bank.
447
One, two, three...
448
Mom, Dad, I want to buy soccer shoes with my own money.
449
This weekend, we'll look together and choose carefully.
450
Hahaha, thank you so much, Mom.
451
Dad.
452
Whoa, this place is huge.
453
Welcome, we have a wide range of soccer equipment and gear.
454
Wow, these shirts are light so players don't get too hot I Can put my name on a shirt?
455
Yes, you can choose your name and your number Leo 88 that looks amazing
456
Here is shin guard section These protect your legs when you play.
457
And these cones help kids practice safely.
458
Wow!
459
This is the spike section.
460
Some spikes are for grass.
461
Some are for turf.
462
So spikes help me run better?
463
Yes, buddy.
464
Soccer cleats provide maximum traction, change direction, and stop quickly without slipping on the grass.
465
Hmm, these are okay.
466
But not the red ones.
467
Let's check if the blue pair fits you.
468
We want shoes that fit, not shoes that hurt.
469
That ball looks so real.
470
A famous soccer player!
471
Leo is going to score a goal with this ball!
472
Oh no!
473
I slipped!
474
Leo!
475
Are you okay?
476
Yes, Mom. But...
477
I made this mess.
478
Let's clean this up first.
479
Oh my!
480
The bottom came off!
481
Oh my!
482
We may have to replace that trophy, son!
483
Oh no, but...
484
That's my shoe money!
485
You should use your money to make up for the broken trophy.
486
Mom and I will take care of the soccer shoes.
487
Don't worry.
488
Yes, I need to tell the truth.
489
I'm sorry, sir.
490
I ticked the ball without asking and broke this trophy.
491
I can use all my money to pay for it.
492
Don't mind.
493
Thank you for telling me the truth.
494
This is an old memory cup, not a big prize.
495
Your honesty matters more than this cup.
496
Please let us help fix it It's okay.
497
Don't worry Then I'll buy these shoes with my own money.
498
Please keep the change.
499
It's a sincere gesture for me Let me pack that pair of shoes for you Take it buddy.
500

503
Stay close, Leo Maya, Leo, where are you?
504
Maya, I'm scared I want Mom and Dad Ah, this beach day is perfect.
505
Cannot forget to apply sunscreen.
506
Captain Leo, keep digging.
507
The treasure must be here.
508
Whoa!
509
Maya, I hit something hard.
510
It looks like a little chest.
511
Maybe it's real treasure.
512
It's stuck.
513
We need to dig more!
514
Ow!
515
Sam got in my eyes!
516
The wind is getting stronger!
517
Leo, Maya, don't rub your eyes!
518
Stand up!
519
We need to go back now!
520
The sea is not safe!
521
But the sky still looks nice.
522
Hmm.
523
Can we just dig a little more?
524
No, sweetheart.
525
Strong wind and big waves mean danger.
526
But our treasure is still there.
527
Leo, maybe we can get the chest before the storm comes.
528
Okay, let's go.
529
We'll be fast.
530
Hurry, Leo.
531
The wind feels stronger now.
532
It's still stuck.
533
Why is the sky so dark now?
534
Oh, no. This doesn't look safe anymore.
535
Oh, my.
536
I'm scared.
537
Run, Maya.
538
Maya, run!
539
Stay close, Leo.
540
Hold the pole.
541
Oh my god, hand off!
542
The umbrella's flying away!
543
Hide here.
544
Maybe this can block the wind.
545
Oh no, even the bin is moving!
546
Ethan, the kids are gone!
547
Maya, Leo, where are you?
548
I'm scared they may be too close to the waves.
549
Maya, I'm scared.
550
I want mom and dad.
551
I'm here, Leo.
552
Stay close to me.
553
Maya!
554
Leo!
555
Maya!
556
Leo!
557
Move away from the tree, now!
558
Hold my hands.
559
We're going back inside now.
560
Thank goodness we're safe.
561
The beach looks so different now.
562
I didn't know nature could change so fast.
563
That's why we listen when the weather gets dangerous.
564
The lights went out!
565
We have a flashlight. And we're safe inside.
566
Look!
567
A little rabbit is hiding from the storm too!
568
And here comes a brave little bird, flying home safely.
569
Wow!
570
I'll try it too!
571
Wow!
572
The storm made a big mess outside!
573
Mom, Dad, I'm sorry.
574
We didn't listen to you.
575
When waves are big, wind is strong, or thunder starts, we leave the beach right away.
576
And never hide under a tree during lightning.
577
We go inside and stay together.
578
Next time, we'll listen first and stay safe.
579
This story has come to an end.
580
Thanks for watching and see you next!
581
Hello, Grace.
582
Leo may have the wrong lunchbox today.
583
Oh my goodness!
584
Ethan took Leo's lunch, didn't he?
585
Oh no, my stomach is too loud now.
586
When can I get off work?
587
I'm starving.
588
Please, Fridge, give me something big to eat.
589
Well, well, wasn't the lunch I packed for you enough?
590
No, no, I find some food for Leo.
591
OK, lunch boxes are ready.
592
This big one is for Ethan with his coffee on the side.
593
This one is Maya's with extra fruit because she loves it.
594
And this cute one is for Leo.
595
I hope it makes him smile.
596
Good morning!
597
Wow!
598
Lunch is ready already?
599
Please check the lunch boxes, Ethan.
600
The new boxes look the same today.
601
Don't worry, sweetie.
602
I take lunch every day.
603
I know which one is which.
604
I'll take them to the car.
605
We're right on time.
606
Come on, kids.
607
Let's get moving.
608
Here you go, Maya.
609
And here you go, Leo.
610
Thanks, Dad.
611
Thank you, Dad.
612
I hope mom made something cute.
613
Okay, let's go.
614
Have a good day kids.
615
Don't forget your lunch.
616
Bye dad.
617
See you after school.
618
Okay, I'm ready for a long office day.
619
Lunch time.
620
I'm so hungry today.
621
Wait, why is my lunch so tiny and cute?
622
Wow, Ethan, your lunch has little e-octopus sausage.
623
Hey, look, it says Leo will eat well.
624
Oh no, Grace told me to check, but I was too sure.
625
Well, my cutest lunch ever.
626
Hmm, it's tasty, but I may need a bigger lunch next time.
627
Lunch time!
628
I can't wait to see my cute food!
629
Whoa!
630
This lunch is huge!
631
Did Mom think I became a giant?
632
I think something is wrong.
633
Oh!
634
Oh!
635
Leo, this looks like an adult lunch.
636
Are you a eating machine?
637
There's been a mistake.
638
May I call my mom?
639
Hello, Grace.
640
Leo may have the wrong lunch box today.
641
Oh my goodness!
642
Ethan took Leo's lunch, didn't he?
643
So Dad is eating my tiny, cute lunch?
644
I think he is very hungry now.
645
Oh no!
646
My stomach is too loud now!
647
When can I get off work?
648
I'm starving!
649
Hello, I'm home!
650
What's wrong with dad?
651
My tiny lunch is not enough for dad.
652
Please, Fridge, give me something big to eat.
653
Well, well, wasn't the lunch I packed for you enough?
654
No, no, I find some food for Leo.
655
Huh?
656
Really?
657
Well, the boxes looked exactly the same.
658
Anyone could make that mistake.
659
Hmm, anyone or someone who didn't check?
660
I told Mom, Dad, my giant lunch today.
661
You're right.
662
I was too confident and I didn't check.
663
Maybe we should make labels for every lunchbox.
664
That's a great idea.
665
Let's make each box easy to know.
666
Mine will be a flower!
667
Mine must be a robot!
668
And mine can be a tie, so I won't steal Leo's stars again.
669
I'll use a heart, because I packed these lunches with love.
670
Now we can see them clearly before we leave.
671
From now on, we stop for a few seconds and check our things.
672
Always check your things before you go!
673
Bye-bye!

Step-by-Step Shadowing Guide for This Video
Shadowing (or shadowspeak) is a proven technique to improve pronunciation and fluency. Here's how to use this video effectively:
Step 1: Watch and Listen Twice
First, watch without subtitles to grasp the context. Then, watch with English subtitles to catch new words. Focus on the tone—notice how the family's voices change from playful to slightly upset, then back to cheerful.
Step 2: Pause and Repeat Phrases
Pick 3-5 phrases (like those in the list above) and pause the video after each. Repeat them aloud, matching the speed and intonation. This builds muscle memory for natural speech, key for IELTS speaking practice.
Step 3: Shadow the Entire Dialogue
Play the video and speak along with the characters, starting 1-2 seconds after they do. Don't worry about mistakes—focus on keeping up. This trains your brain to think and speak in English simultaneously, a critical skill for real-life conversations.
Step 4: Record and Compare
Record yourself shadowing, then listen to the original. Note differences in stress (e.g., "Team boys can't be stopped!") and rhythm. Adjust your speech to match—this fine-tunes your pronunciation.
Learning English with videos like this makes practice fun and practical. By combining shadow speech with real-life scenarios, you'll build confidence and fluency in no time. Ready to start? Press play and join the family's garden contest!
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.
