Création de la leçon...
1
I was almost done with my shift at the cafe when a customer started screaming at mom for getting the order wrong.
2
You won't die if you have to have hot chocolate instead of coffee one day.
3
I'm allergic to chocolate, you stupid woman!
4
What kind of idiot is allergic to chocolate?
5
Maybe you should die and then come back to life so you can taste chocolate.
6
Naturally.
7
The manager fired mom on the spot.
8
Hi, I'm Jane, and I know what you're thinking.
9
Wow, she's really pretty.
10
Trust me, I get that all the time.
11
best thing you can hear.
12
This face almost destroyed my life.
13

14
My dad was rich, and he gave me and my mom the best life ever.
15
When I was 10, I got into soccer, and by 14, I was winning every competition in town.
16
It was my dream to play soccer professionally, and I was well on my way.
17
But then I turned 18, and everything changed.
18
Dad made some bad investments, lost all his money, and booked a one -way flight to India.
19
I think it's time I look spiritual awakening.
20
A right direction.
21
Some eat, pray, love.
22
Oh, I'll show you the right direction, estupido.
23
We never heard from dad again.
24
Mom sold the house and we moved to a smaller place.
25
Soon, she had to pick up a job.
26
But she was awful at everything.
27
She tried teaching some kids Spanish, but told them they were morons in the second day.
28
Tried babysitting and slept on the job.
29
Tried waitressing, which clearly didn't work out either.
30
Then mom joined as a sales girl at a makeup she slipped on a lipstick and broke her hip.
31
Mom was put on bed rest for months, so I pulled out of soccer classes in school and picked up double shifts at the cafe.
32
I was working late one night when this boy walked in.
33
Sorry, sir, we're closed.
34
No reply.
35
Are you lost?
36
Nothing.
37
Okay, listen, you creep.
38
If you're here to kidnap me, let me tell you that I'm really broke.
39
I am one step away from being homeless and two steps away from being a street rat.
40
Really pretty.
41
I'm Tyler.
42
What's your name?
43
It's Angel, right?
44
No, wait.
45
Goddess?
46
Miracle?
47
Will you go out on a date with me?
48
What?
49
No!
50
Tyler kept asking me out, but I threw coffee in his face and kicked him out.
51
But then, he started stopping by the cafe every day.
52
He'd stay there for hours trying to get my attention.
53
He'd keep ordering the most expensive coffee and then leave a fat tip.
54
He was really getting on my nerves.
55
What's your deal?
56
Are you trying to win me over with money?
57
Just take a chance on me and go out on one date.
58
If you still don't like me, I won't trouble you again.
59
Before I could respond, Mom popped out of nowhere.
60
Oh, mija.
61
He's so cute.
62
Say yes.
63
Mom, why are you here?
64
You're my daughter.
65
You came out of my womb.
66
I feel a pull towards you like a piece of metal to a magnet.
67
Can't I come and see you when my heart says so?
68
What are you really doing here?
69
Okay, okay.
70
You weren't picking up your phone.
71
I just wanted you to get me my favorite sandwich. Or I will.
72
I'm kidding.
73
Do you have a single dad?
74
Older brother?
75
Even a butler would do.
76
Okay, that's enough.
77
And Tyler, fine.
78
Let's meet for dinner tomorrow.
79
One date.
80
Tyler and I ended up having a great time.
81
He was cute, fun, and really rich.
82
He loved pampering me with all things good.
83
And honestly, it felt nice to be taken care of.
84
Before I knew it, we started dating.
85
And then he surprised me with the best news ever.
86
I spoke to my dad, If things go right, we might go to the same school.
87
But I can't afford the fees.
88
Just impress the soccer coach and they'll let you in on a sports scholarship.
89
I hugged Tyler and we shared our first kiss that night.
90
A week later, I was called in for the soccer trial and I nailed it!
91
One week before joining the school, Tyler invited me and mom to his place for Thanksgiving dinner, which was a mansion, and his parents looked like royalty.
92
down the stairs and knocked right into me.
93
I fell back on a tall shelf and a bunch of stuff fell down.
94
Tyler's mom looked horrified.
95
Oh my god, my ultimate collection of unicorn figurines!
96
What have you done?
97
I'm so sorry.
98
I didn't mean to.
99
I started picking up the pieces when the same weird girl pushed me away.
100
You don't have to do that.
101
High time these ugly things broke.
102
What's wrong with you, Kiki?
103
You could have seriously hurt Jane.
104
She's not made of glass, and I was trying to see if the broom thing works for everyone, or if it's just for Harry Potter.
105
Wait, wait.
106
I have an idea.
107
Maybe your mom can give it a shot, Tyler, since she's an actual witch.
108
Kiki, that's enough.
109
her.
110
Tyler's parents were extremely sweet, and they really seemed to love him.
111
Tyler's a star, and I'm so lucky to have him.
112
He's really smart and helps me handle the business so well.
113
Look at that handsome face. So handsome.
114
He's a dork.
115
What did you just say?
116
I need a fork to eat noodles.
117
But we got this turkey made especially for you, Kiki.
118
I know how you like it.
119
Shush!
120
Okay, I'll eat it.
121
Your fake sweet voice gives me nightmares, I mean migraines.
122
You know what?
123
Let's play a game.
124
Let's all tell one thing we're grateful for.
125
I'll start.
126
Hmm.
127
I'm grateful for nothing thanks to you, stepmama.
128
You broke my family, turned my dad's brain into mush, and your son looks like a toad and he gets all the attention.
129
Oh wait, I have the perfect Thanksgiving song for y 'all.
130
With that, Kiki jumped on the table and started singing in the worst voice ever.
131
It's a day to be happy, but I'm always so snappy.
132
Because my stepmom's a witch and her son's kinda crappy and my dad is dumber than a baby and a nappy.
133
Kiki's dad got up furiously and pulled Kiki out of the room.
134
And that was our cue to leave.
135
That was one horribly awkward dinner.
136
The next day at school, Tyler apologized for Kiki's behavior.
137
Her mom ran away with the milkman when Kiki was only five.
138
She came back, but then she ran away with the postman a few years later.
139
still thinks her mom will come back.
140
So when her dad decided to marry my mom, she hated the idea.
141
She just can't accept us as a family and keeps acting like a spoiled brat.
142
Just be careful.
143
She might take her anger out on you too.
144
And sure enough, Kiki made my life at school miserable.
145
I found my soccer jersey soaked in grease.
146
And another time, she spray -painted all over my books.
147
The last straw was when one day during practice, I was doing some stretches and I heard Kiki Hey guys,
148
Tyler's new girlfriend wears Barbie underpants.
149
Look, look!
150
For more content, like and subscribe to my channel.
151
Everybody hates Tyler.
152
Get that thing away from me!
153
I tried to stop her from filming, but she wouldn't, and then I pushed her.
154
She fell, her camera broke, and both of us fought like wildcats before the coach separated us.
155
Tyler's right about you.
156
You're a crazy spoiled brat. And you?
157
You're just a pretty stupid girl.
158
And I mean pretty stupid.
159
Like a whole lot of stupid.
160
Not like pretty and stupid.
161
Wait, that's not good enough trash talk.
162
Can we try this again?
163
I can do better.
164
But I just ignored Kiki and walked away.
165
While school was a mess.
166
At home, mom kept pestering me about my relationship with Tyler.
167
Oh my God, Mom, we're not getting married, and money isn't everything!
168
That's a lie poor people made up.
169
Yeah, that was another problem.
170
Mom was just so excited about me and Tyler, but lately, I was beginning to have second thoughts.
171
The more I hung out with him, the more I realized that we were poles apart.
172
He would take me to these fancy parties and dinners
173
when all I really wanted was some quiet time together watching TV and eating pizza.
174
Then, one evening, Tyler invited me to an art exhibition with his parents and Kiki.
175
As always, Tyler's dad kept praising him in front of the guests, and Kiki looked upset.
176
So I excused myself and was admiring an art piece when a boy came and stood next to me.
177
Admiring my work, I see.
178
Oh, it's by you?
179
It's amazing.
180
You're so talented.
181
Oui, oui.
182
Merci beaucoup.
183
Pretty belle.
184
The artist leaned in to kiss me, but I stepped back.
185
He then pulled me by the arm, but I turned around and punched him in his face.
186
He screamed, and soon a crowd gathered around us.
187
And Tyler angrily pulled me outside.
188
What were you thinking, Jane?
189
He was forcefully trying to kiss me.
190
What else was I supposed to do?
191
That's how French people say thank you.
192
This is so embarrassing to my parents.
193
Apologize to them now.
194
Are you for real?
195
You should be making that artist apologize to me.
196
Why should I say sorry to your parents?
197
Because they've done so much for you.
198
You know, my dad had to bribe the principal to get you into the school.
199
What?
200
I never asked you to do that.
201
Exactly.
202
A lot of girls would kill to be in your place.
203
Oh, really?
204
Then choose one of those girls and date them.
205
With that, I turned around and left.
206
I tried finding a cab, but there was none around and I started walking.
207
Just a few blocks down, homeless guys were following me.
208
I panicked and ran, and just as I turned a corner, I crashed into someone.
209
Kiki?
210
Ow!
211
You blind bat!
212
Wait, who are these monkeys?
213
Your worst nightmare.
214
Now give me all the cash you have.
215
Ha!
216
Not so fast!
217
Kiki lunged at one guy and bit him.
218
He howled in pain, and the other one was about to jump at Kiki.
219
But she turned around and kicked him in the stomach and brought him to his knees.
220
Then she took a tweezer out from her pocket and pulled hair out of his nostrils.
221
The guy started sneezing like crazy, and Kiki and I ran for our lives.
222
ourselves on some seats.
223
Thanks for saving my butt.
224
Sure.
225
But first, I need food.
226
Waiter?
227
Yes, hi.
228
Get me two full hamburgers, two sides of fries, two strawberry milkshakes, and three scoops of ice cream each.
229
Oh no wait, I'm on a diet.
230
Only two scoops then.
231
And make it fast.
232
Why did you help me?
233
It's been a while since I last bit someone.
234
The last person I bit was Tyler because he called me a dumb witch, which I'm not.
235
I mean, if I was a witch, I would have been able to fly in a broom.
236
Why do you hate Tyler so much?
237
He acts really nice in front of my dad, but behind his back, he's a big fat jerk.
238
He and his mom are evil.
239
I just know it.
240
My nostrils flare up every time they're around.
241
You know like Spider -Man has those spider tingles?
242
Has anyone ever told you you talk a lot?
243
Yeah, all the time.
244
Why?
245
They say that to you too?
246
That's such a coincidence.
247
And Kiki went on and on till the food came and she finally shut up.
248
That night, I realized that Kiki wasn't that bad.
249
She was just an ignored kid looking for love.
250
And it kind of reminded me jerk today.
251
Kiki dropped me off at home in her car, and when she left, I noticed something stuck to my coat.
252
It was a weird necklace that I'd seen Kiki wearing at the museum.
253
It must have gotten stuck on me during that fight with those homeless guys.
254
So the next day, I went to her place to return it.
255
When I saw her arguing with Tyler's mom, I hid behind one of the cars to avoid getting spotted.
256
You spoiled brat!
257
You destroyed my entire product collection!
258
Do you have any idea what peasants.
259
The only peasant here is you.
260
It's only a matter of time before your dad hands over the business to me.
261
And once I have control, you'll have to beg me for money.
262
You and your evil mother will eat rat poop before that happens.
263
That's it.
264
I'm talking to your father and we're shipping you off to that boarding school.
265
Don't think I can't make it happen.
266
I've got him wrapped around my little finger.
267
In your dreams!
268
And with that, Kiki threw chili powder in Tyler's mom's face and ran away, leaving her screaming while Tyler quickly let her inside.
269
I tried to sneak away unnoticed, but Kiki spotted me.
270
What are you doing here?
271
I came to give you back this necklace.
272
What's all this mess, Kiki?
273
Tyler and his mom are horrible.
274
But Kiki was only half listening because her eyes were stuck on the necklace.
275
This was in your hand the entire time?
276
Uh, yeah.
277
Why?
278
What's so great about this rusty thing?
279
It's a hidden camera.
280
I bought this yesterday to collect evidence against my stepmom, and I thought I'd lost it.
281
But you just recorded her spitting fire on me, and now I have proof that she's a vile witch.
282
I can finally show this to my dad.
283
Oh, thank you so much.
284
And hey, I'm sorry for calling you a pretty stupid girl.
285
You're very smart and pretty.
286
That day at school, she walked up to me with a huge smile and told me that her dad finally believed her, and Tyler and his mom were out of her life.
287
I was really happy for her.
288
That same day, the coach told us about the upcoming inter -school soccer championship, which would be attended by international scouts looking for new players.
289
Getting selected would mean a five -year contract and a college of our choice.
290
I plunged myself into practice, but Tyler kept bugging me with texts and phone calls, so I decided to break up with him clearly.
291
It's over.
292
Never getting back together.
293
Go ask your mama to find you a better girl.
294
When mom heard about the breakup, she started crying like a banshee.
295
We're going to die living like poor rats.
296
No, we won't.
297
All I need is one shot at my dream and everything will be just fine.
298
Oh my god, you're in shock.
299
You're talking like a mad person now.
300
The team kept falling around me, acting like I'd shoved her and hurt her badly, which kept landing me into penalties.
301
The referee gave me a red card, and I got benched for the rest of the season.
302
We won the match, but I was devastated for losing out on my golden chance to be selected.
303
As Kiki and I were leaving, we suddenly saw a huge crowd in the parking lot gathered around someone who was screaming.
304
It was the same girl who got me the red card in the match, losing her mind on Tyler while his mom was trying to save him.
305
Ow!
306
I said, I'll get you your money!
307
Ow!
308
Let my boy go, you crazy witch!
309
And then Kiki jumped into the mix to slap and kick all three of them.
310
Shut it everyone!
311
What is happening?
312
This guy and his mommy told me they'd pay me to get you penalties.
313
They also bribed the referee to give you the red card.
314
And now they're trying to get away without paying me anything except these stupid unicorn figurines.
315
Those are actually pretty expensive, and these don't even belong to her.
316
Gimme that!
317
I angrily turned to Tyler.
318
Why would you set me up and make me lose such a big opportunity?
319
Because I lost everything, and it's all your fault.
320
I had money, a good house, and a great dad.
321
But after Kiki showed your dad that video of mom yelling at her, he kicked us out.
322
It's all because of you.
323
Nope.
324
You were greedy and selfish, and you never cared for Kiki's dad.
325
Maybe it's just your karma getting back at you.
326
Bullseye!
327
Now go.
328
Go and live your worst lives.
329
There were enough witnesses to the whole conversation.
330
The referee who gave me the red card was fired on the spot.
331
The coach convinced the scouts to give me another chance to show my skills in the next match, and I played my best game.
332
Our team won the tournament, and Kiki and I both got selected for a top international soccer team.
333
It's been two years since, and we never heard from Tyler or his mom again.
334
I'm living my best life playing
335
like mom will you get married to a rich man now mom I am the rich man

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.
