Pratique du Shadowing: My sister copies everything I do 😱 - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo

Hi, I'm Adeline from France.

Please like and subscribe.

Since the day I was born, I've had a sworn enemy, my older sister Sienna.

I think she just didn't like sharing our parents, even though they practically worshipped her.

She looked like an angel with her blonde curls and blue eyes, and they thought she could do no wrong.

Only I knew she was pure evil.

Once when I was five, I'd spent hours making a tall LEGO building, And suddenly, Sienna came running and knocked it down.

Why did you do that, witch?

Stop that.

I hate you, Sienna.

You're the best, Sienna.

I leapt forward and pulled her hair, and she screamed like crazy.

She pushed me off, and then she bit her own arm.

As my parents came running, she started to cry.

I tripped and fell on Adelaine's Lego.

And I said I was really, really sorry.

But look, she bit me.

No, I didn't.

She bit herself.

Stop lying, Adeline.

Why would she do that?

Is she crazy?

Uh, yeah.

But Sienna just got extra ice cream after dinner.

And I had to go without dessert for two weeks.

Not only was Sienna poster child beautiful, she had a really sunny personality in front of everybody.

And it made her a family favorite which meant she always got showered by compliments and better gifts.

Once in sixth grade, we had a Christmas dinner at our place, and just as I stepped out of my room, I slipped and landed in a puddle of chocolate sauce.

Oh my god!

As I ran down angrily, everyone looked at me in surprise, but no one was more shocked than Sienna.

Oh, poor Adeline.

What happened to your beautiful dress?

Is that mud? Or poop?

You know what it is, Sienna.

You did this.

Me?

I've been here all this time.

And why would I do that?

Adeline, can you please stop blaming your sister for everything?

Just come now.

It's time for family portraits.

And in all the pictures, everyone was gathered around Sienna while I stood on the side in my ugly dress.

I slipped out halfway through dinner to the park.

It's not like anyone would notice.

As I was angrily kicking up dirt, I suddenly jumped when someone spoke behind me.

Having a bad day?

I looked around to see a girl my age on a bench.

She was pretty, but she had a really bad haircut.

Yeah, I am.

My sister ruins everything for me, and no one even sees it.

Ugh, siblings are the worst.

I hate my brother.

Mom lets him get away with everything.

Her name was Bianca, and she'd recently moved to our neighborhood.

We bonded instantly, and I didn't even recognize how much time had gone by.

As I was leaving, I suddenly turned around.

Why is your hair like that?

Oh, my mom loves my hair.

So I chopped it off just to annoy her.

I grinned.

I like this girl already.

And just like Bianca told me to, I left some dog poop under Sienna's bed.

Her room stank so much by morning, she couldn't sleep there for days.

Since that day, Bianca and I were best friends.

She joined the same school, and having her around made life with Sienna so much more bearable.

She didn't even find Sienna as impressive as everyone else did.

Sure, she's pretty, but you've got a great personality.

That's what you say to someone who's not pretty, Bianca.

You didn't let me finish.

You're smarter and cooler, and I think that makes you prettier than her.

Now you're just lying to make me feel better.

It was nice to hear such things for a change, but I didn't really believe Bianca.

She was just good to me because she was my friend.

The best two years of my life was when Sienna moved to high school, but soon enough, I had to join her there.

I begged my parents to send me somewhere different.

You guys going to the same school is easier for me.

Sienna never complains.

You could learn something from her, and she'll help you find your way around the new campus.

Right, Sienna?

Of course, Daddy.

Haven't I always taken care of Adeline?

But as soon as we reached school on my first day, Sienna waited for our car to leave and then turned to me.

Listen to me, idiot.

I want you to stay away from my friends and my hot boys at my school.

Don't come near me.

Don't even look at me.

I don't want anyone knowing my sister is from Planet Loser.

As if I want anyone thinking I'm related to the queen of Planet Bimbo.

Oh, don't worry.

No one will be thinking about you.

And she pushed me aside and joined some girls who all looked like models.

Ugh, I hated this place already.

Thank God for Bianca.

Later that day, as I was putting stuff in my locker, I turned around and crashed straight into a boy.

I started picking everything up and he bent down to help and our heads bumped against each other's

Both fell back and started laughing.

He helped me to my feet and I couldn't help noticing

100

that he was really cute I definitely had to find out more about him, but later that afternoon I was taking a nap

101

when Sienna pushed me off my bed wake up ugly Tell

102

me why you were talking to Simon gosh You're such a psycho

103

and who's Simon that guy you were flirting with by the lockers.

104

Oh Yeah Why are you so interested because that boy is mine are you two dating well not technically?

105

We're really good friends, but he's about to ask me out any day see I even got a tattoo with his name

106

Why are you so lame?

107

He's not even your boyfriend yet.

108

You know what everyone likes especially boys Confidence.

109

I'm completely sure he will be my boyfriend.

110

So stay away from him.

111

But I was really curious to know how close he and Sienna actually were.

112

So when she was out with her friends, I sneaked into her room and looked for her diary.

113

And it was worse than I thought.

114

She was completely obsessed with him.

115

She even had a picture of them with two random kids and a caption.

116

Our perfect family.

117

Jeez, I couldn't help reading the rest of her diary.

118

And other than her Simon obsession, it looked like she really liked to write down all sorts of gossip and mean comments about her friends.

119

Just then, I heard Sienna's voice downstairs, and I dashed out of her room like a bullet.

120

A couple of days later, it was my 15th birthday, and the only plan I had was a movie night with Bianca.

121

But when we got home, I was shocked to find my parents and Sienna and other people yelling surprise at me.

122

What?

123

You guys threw me a surprise birthday party?

124

Oh, it was all Sienna's idea.

125

Looking around, I noticed that none of my classmates were here.

126

It was all people Sienna knew, including Simon.

127

Where are my friends?

128

What friends?

129

Bianca's here, isn't she?

130

I thought it would be a really lame party with one friend, so I invited mine.

131

So sweet of you sienna no it's not you basically just

132

threw a party for yourself stop being such a cry baby

133

will you the cake's got your name on it i saw her friends snickering

134

and then they just put on loud music and started to dance

135

and i just had it i went upstairs

136

and got her diary from her room i pulled the power cord and the music suddenly died Attention, everyone.

137

Since you're all gathered here, I thought I'd let you know what your amazing friend, Sienna, thinks of you.

138

And she turned white when she saw the diary in my hand, and I started reading out loud.

139

She chased me all over the room as I dodged her and kept reading things loudly.

140

But finally she caught up to me, and we both ended up in a heap on the ground, and the diary went flying at Simon's feet.

141

What's this?

142

And his eyes flew wide when he saw all the stuff about him.

143

Sienna got up and snatched it.

144

But Simon was already looking really uncomfortable.

145

And the rest of her friends were glaring at her.

146

And suddenly, they all left.

147

And she turned around to pounce on me again.

148

How could you do something so horrible?

149

You're shocked?

150

After all the horrible things you've always done to me, my parents jumped in and pulled us apart.

151

And as Sienna stormed off to her room, they went running behind her.

152

I got up and grinned at Bianca.

153

That was epic, wasn't it?

154

No, Adeline.

155

That was horrible.

156

What do you mean?

157

Sienna totally deserved it.

158

I didn't make up those things.

159

She wrote them.

160

But you're the person who took her diary and then read it out loud in front of everyone.

161

Wouldn't you do the same thing to your brother?

162

Heck no. Yeah, we fight a lot, but I would never stoop this low.

163

I can't believe you're mad at me.

164

More like really disappointed.

165

As she walked off, her words felt like a slap in the face.

166

And then I just felt mad.

167

Sienna had never been good to me, so I didn't have to feel bad about my revenge.

168

In fact, I decided to continue with it.

169

The next day, I went shopping and bought the nicest clothes I could afford and new makeup.

170

I took a long time getting myself ready for school, and I looked great.

171

Sienna's jaw dropped as I got into the car for school.

172

Oh, wow, Adeline.

173

15 looks good on you.

174

Thanks, Mom.

175

There was another thing I needed to learn from Sienna.

176

Confidence.

177

So later at recess, I took a deep breath and walked over to the table where Sienna's friends were sitting.

178

Hi, everyone.

179

I'm sitting here today.

180

What makes you think you're gonna do that?

181

You were all there last night, right?

182

Aren't you glad I showed you Sienna's true face?

183

Well, that's true.

184

I guess you can sit.

185

What's with the makeover?

186

Well, it is my birthday.

187

Does that mean we owe you a cake?

188

Sure, why not?

189

And just like that, I started hanging out with Sienna's old friends, which obviously made her really mad.

190

Bianca was still avoiding me too, but at least I wasn't alone.

191

I was getting a taste of what it was like to be Sienna, And I was liking it.

192

And then one day, Simon came and sat next to me in the library.

193

Hey, Adeline.

194

I just wanted to say, what you did at the birthday party was cool.

195

Who knew Sienna had such a mean streak?

196

And also, the stuff she wrote about me?

197

That was just creepy.

198

I almost asked her out.

199

Can you imagine?

200

So, I was wondering, maybe you and I could hang out tonight?

201

Someone who almost asked out Sienna wanted to ask me out?

202

Amazing!

203

We exchanged numbers, and just then I spotted Bianca looking at me and turning away.

204

And I went after her. So what?

205

You're never gonna talk to me again?

206

I don't even know who you are now.

207

Oh wait, I do.

208

You're Sienna's clone.

209

You look like her, hang out with her friends, go after the guy she wants.

210

You know what, Bianca?

211

It's easy for you to be judgy, because you don't know what it's like to be compared your entire life to a sister who the world thinks is perfect.

212

I never thought that, but that doesn't count, right?

213

And don't blame the world.

214

You just see yourself as Sienna's sister.

215

You compare yourself to her the most.

216

Give me a call when you decide to be yourself again, because I liked that person.

217

I had a sinking feeling as she walked away.

218

It was really bothering me that that Bianca didn't like me right now.

219

And later when it was time for my date with Simon, I was about to text him to cancel when he told me he was already outside.

220

Oh God, I didn't want Sienna to see him there, but as I rushed out, I already found her with him and she was kissing him, but Simon pushed her away.

221

What are you doing, Sienna?

222

Babe, I know you like me and you were gonna ask me out.

223

Yeah, that was before I found out how obsessed you are with me.

224

You were hot when you were playing hard to get, but not anymore.

225

Simon, I was there for you when your parents got divorced.

226

We've been friends for so long.

227

Are you really going to be this way with me?

228

Why are you even here then?

229

I'm here for your sister, who is much cooler than you.

230

So please, get a life and leave me alone.

231

I'd never heard anyone speak to Sienna like that before.

232

The hurt look on her face made me see her like a real person for the first time.

233

Simon, don't talk to her like that.

234

Save it, Adeline.

235

The last thing I need is you defending me.

236

Yeah, why are you defending her now after you exposed her, babe?

237

And thank God for that.

238

I almost went out with a desperate loser.

239

That is enough.

240

No one gets to be mean to my sister other than me, jerk.

241

And I punched him in the face.

242

He howled in pain as I tucked Sienna's hand and we went inside.

243

You didn't have to do that.

244

Yes, I did.

245

Listen, Sienna.

246

I was already about to cancel the date with him.

247

I'm sorry, okay?

248

Sorry about the diary and your friends and trying to steal the guy you liked.

249

It looks like he did me a favor there.

250

Yeah, but that's not the point.

251

Can we just give up our dumb fighting already?

252

I don't like who I'm turning into.

253

You're my sister and we don't have to like each other, but I don't want to hate you either.

254

Yeah, I guess we could try that.

255

Good.

256

I gotta go see Bianca.

257

As I was running off, Sienna suddenly said, You know Bianca likes you, right?

258

Not right now she doesn't.

259

No, stupid.

260

I mean, she like-likes you.

261

I stared at her in shock.

262

Could it be?

263

I...

264

I think you're wrong.

265

I'm not.

266

I know these things.

267

Why else would anyone think you're prettier than me?

268

It's the only explanation.

269

Bianca likes you.

270

For the first time ever, your sister's right.

271

Shocking, but it's true.

272

I turned around to see Bianca standing behind me, smiling.

273

I could feel myself turning red.

274

I ran to her and we hugged.

275

Bianca and Adeline sitting on a tree.

276

K-I-S-S-I- Shut up, Sienna.

277

Let's get out of here.

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.
