1
Dad, stop!
2
There is a small bee nest behind the leaves.
3
Oh no, I did not see it!
4
Everyone move back slowly now.
5
It was a happy family day, but no one knew small trouble was coming.
6
Today will be easy and fun.
7
I will run fast and kick the ball very far.
8
Fun is good, Luca.
9
But please look around before you run.
10
Come on, Luca.
11
Let us play soccer first.
12
But please look where you run.
13
I see the ball and I am ready.
14
This will be my best kick today.
15
Luca, stop there!
16
The grass is wet and your shoes may slip!
17
Ow!
18
My knee hurts a lot!
19
I cannot stand up by myself!
20
Please stay still, Luca.
21
I will not pull you because I do not want to hurt you more.
22
I heard you, Luca.
23
Do not move your leg now.
24
I need to check you first.
25
Look at me and breathe slowly.
26
You are hurt, but you are not alone.
27
I feel scared, Mom.
28
My knee is burning, and I do not know what happened.
29
I am here too, Luca.
30
Tell us where it hurts, and we will listen carefully.
31
I see the first clue.
32
The grass is wet here and Luca slipped on it.
33
Good looking, Zoe.
34
Wet grass can be a small clue and a big problem.
35
Dad, stay with Luca.
36
I will get clean water, a soft towel, and a bandage.
37
I am back now.
38
We will clean the dirt first, then cover your knee.
39
This may feel cold, but cold water can help your knee feel better.
40
It feels cold and strange, but I can hold Zoe's hand and stay brave.
41
Squeeze my hand, Luca.
42
I am your big sister, and I will stay right here.
43
The game can wait.
44
Your knee is more important than one soccer ball.
45
There, the gauze bandage is on.
46
Now your knee is covered and clean.
47
You do not need to stand fast.
48
We will rest first, then try one small step.
49
I can breathe slowly now.
50
My heart is not jumping so hard anymore.
51
Lean on me, son.
52
We will move slowly and we will stop if it hurts.
53
Luca was still hurt, but he learned that asking for help was brave.
54
Good job!
55
Now sit on the bench, drink water, and let your knee rest.
56
Here is your water.
57
I will sit with you and we can still have fun slowly.
58
Thank you, Zoe.
59
I cannot run now, but I can still be part of the day.
60
The ball rolled near the flowers, so I will get it slowly and carefully.
61
Do not step into the flowers, Zoe.
62
Use your eyes first, then use your hands.
63
The garden looked soft and pretty, but one sharp clue was hiding there.
64
I can almost reach the ball.
65
I just need to move this little branch.
66
Ow!
67
Something sharp scratched my hand!
68
It is not a bee!
69
It is not a bee, but it hurts.
70
My hand has a red line, and it feels hot on my skin.
71
Zoe helped me before.
72
I want to help her now, but my knee is still weak.
73
Do not rub it, Zoe.
74
A scratch needs clean water and gentle hands.
75
I see the second clue.
76
This sharp thorn scratched Zoe when she reached for the ball.
77
I saw the flower, but I did not see the thorn behind it.
78
I will wash the scratch first.
79
Clean skin helps it feel better.
80
You can be brave too, Zoe.
81
The water is cold, but it helps.
82
There, the scratch is covered now.
83
Keep it clean and do not touch the flowers again.
84
It still hurts a little, but I feel better because you cleaned it.
85
Mom did not know trouble was coming, but she still knew what to do.
86
The soccer problem is done and the flower clue is solved.
87
Now let us fly the kite.
88
We can fly the kite, but everyone stays on the open grass and away from the flowers.
89
Go, Dad!
90
I cannot run today, but I can be the team coach.
91
The kite is going up.
92
I will let the string go slowly, not too fast.
93
See, family team, I know exactly how to fly this kite.
94
It looks beautiful, but please keep it away from the big tree.
95
The wind changed, and the family adventure found a new problem.
96
Dad, the kite is going to the tree.
97
The wind is pulling it away from us. Do not worry.
98
I can get the kite down if I stay careful and move slowly.
99
Dad, I see small flying things near that branch.
100
Please do not touch them.
101
I see the string, but I do not see danger.
102
I will only pull it one time.
103
Wait, Dad.
104
If something is near the branch, we should look first and not rush.
105
It is only stuck a little.
106
One small pull should make it free.
107
Dad, stop!
108
There is a small bee nest behind the leaves.
109
Oh no, I did not see it!
110
Everyone move back slowly now.
111
Stay calm and walk back.
112
Do not wave your arms, and do not run near the bees.
113
My nose hurts.
114
I think a bee got me when I moved too close.
115
Sit down, Dad.
116
I need to check your nose and make sure you can breathe well.
117
I can breathe, but my nose feels big, hot, and very silly.
118
Stay here and keep calm.
119
I will get something cold for your nose.
120
This cold towel can help your big red nose feel better.
121
I wanted to save the kite, but now my nose needs saving first.
122
Dad, you told me to rest, so now you must rest too.
123
You said you knew what to do, but Mom was the one watching the danger.
124
You are right.
125
I rushed, and I did not listen when Mom said to wait.
126
Keep the cold towel here.
127
If breathing feels hard, we will call for help.
128
Today, I learned that small things can make very big trouble.
129
First my knee, then Zoe's hand, then Datto's nose.
130
This day is a rescue story.
131
Mom, how do you know what to do when problems happen so fast?
132
I do not always know what will happen, but I can stay calm and look carefully.
133
I wanted to be strong today, but I needed help too.
134
You saved our family day.
135
The kite can stay there for now.
136
I think the bees need quiet time too.
137
Detective Zoe sees clue number one.
138
Luca slipped because the grass was wet.
139
Detective Luca sees clue number two.
140
Zoe got scratched by a sharp thorn.
141
Detective Dad has clue number three.
142
I pulled the kite near the bees.
143
So, detectives, what is the answer to our family mystery today?
144
The answer is not a magic bag.
145
The answer is Mom staying calm and helping us.
146
Things can help, but looking, listening, and staying calm help even more.
147
Next time, I will look for thorns before I touch flowers or branches.
148
Next time, I will look at the ground before I run after the ball.
149
Next time, I will listen to mom before I pull a string near a tree.
150
That evening, the family sat together with three small hurts and one big lesson.
151
Eat slowly, everyone.
152
After a big adventure day, warm food is the best medicine medicine.
153
My knee still hurts a little, but I feel happy because you stayed with me.
154
My hand feels better now.
155
Thank you for cleaning it before I made it worse.
156
My nose looks funny, but my heart is very thankful for your quick help.
157
You are still our brave dad, but maybe not the king of kite rescue.
158
I agree.
159
From now on, mom is the captain of safety on family adventure days.
160
Family adventure is not about never falling.
161
It is about helping each other stand again.

Practice Tips
To maximize your learning from this lesson, consider using the following shadowing techniques. As you listen to the story, try to shadow speak each character’s dialogue. This means repeating what you hear immediately after, mimicking their intonation and rhythm. The speed of the dialogue is manageable, making it an excellent opportunity for both English speaking practice and refining your pronunciation.
Follow these steps:
- Listen to a segment of the story, focusing on one character's voice.
- Pause the video and repeat what you heard aloud. Pay attention to the specific sounds and stress in each word.
- After repeating several lines, try to speak along with the audio without pausing. This practice will help you become more comfortable with spoken English.
- Utilize this shadowing exercise to identify commonly used phrases, which can be beneficial in your IELTS speaking practice.
- Finally, remember to breathe and take your time. Improving your speaking skills is a gradual process, and consistency will lead to noticeable improvement.
By employing these methods consistently, you will not only practice vocabulary from the story but also develop a more fluent and natural speaking style in English.
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.
