Oh This
2
one time Crash the rabbit got a hanker in to do a little home improvement Realizing that his bottom was mighty bored,
3
he decided to build something new for it to sit on.
4
He spent a few days building a nice sturdy bench,
5
then painted it a lovely shade of pink.
6
While the pink was still wet,
7
his neighbor Chico the Hedgehog paid him a visit.
8
Hey Crash, what's up?
9
Crash?
10
Huh?
11
Hey dude.
12
It's done?
13
Yep.
14
I'm just waiting for the pink to dry.
15
It turned out pretty nice.
16
I wish that I could sit on it now.
17
Well, that depends on what kind of paint you used.
18
Quick drying or slow drying?
19
It's me.
20
But by now it's probably dry.
21
Nope, obviously it's still wet.
22
Sorry, but it looks like you used slow drying paint.
23
Crash was not a fan of waiting.
24
He liked to keep busy.
25
Fine then.
26
I'm going to find something to do while I wait for the paint to dry.
27
Look, I've got all this paint left.
28
Need anything pinkified?
29
I don't think so, thanks.
30
Bummer.
31
I could give you rose-colored glasses.
32
Thanks, but no. Maybe Wally has something he needs painted.
33
Great!
34
Come on, let's get over there!
35
Wally was a poet, but based on the garbage he was writing that day,
36
you'd never know it.
37
Wally!
38
Wally!
39
Wally!
40
Please stop yelling out there!
41
My poet mojo is very fragile.
42
This page doesn't appear to have any mojo on it at all.
43
Maybe we scared his mojo away.
44
You can't see Poet Mojo on a page.
45
Poet Mojo must be felt in your heart.
46
Alright, and what exactly does Poet Mojo feel like?
47
Well, it's like when something enormous,
48
heavy, groggy, unmovable like a hippopotamus,
49
it becomes light as a feather,
50
and flies, like a cloud flies,
51
flies puffily, cloudily, lovelily flies.
52
Ah, a bit confused over here.
53
Are you saying good poetry is like a flying hippo?
54
It couldn't be clearer.
55
The poetry mojo makes the hippo fly.
56
Without it, every word is stuck in the mud.
57
But with the poet mojo's inspiration,
58
those muddy words grow wings.
59
What is this?
60
Paint?
61
Hey, looks like I was right.
62
Wally wanted something painted after all.
63
Why you doing that?
64
Covering these horrible groups of words up.
65
But you're the one who wrote all of them, right?
66
And it's my responsibility to protect the world from them.
67
Mm-hmm.
68
Yeah, this is terrible.
69
You're painting all your poet paper pink?
70
These mojo-less musings are worse than you think.
71
Ooh!
72
Sounds like the first two lines of a poem.
73
I should write it down.
74
Alright, but you just pinkified all your paper.
75
No sweat.
76
One can write poetry anywhere.
77
Painting all my poet paper pink.
78
Mojol-less musings are worse than you think.
79
But perhaps the pink pages will inspire you to grab a brush and paint a...
80
Ooh!
81
Paint a bench?
82
Say what?
83
It needs to rhyme like paint a hippo or two.
84
Or better yet...
85
Pipe down.
86
My mojo's back.
87
A hippo's life might look hollow,
88
spending his days in a filthy wallow,
89
with nothing but more of the same to follow.
90
But hear the noble hippo call.
91
Oh, ne'er has the world known a happier soul.
92
If you doubt it, then you can just go paint a bench.
93
What's wrong?
94
Did his mojo bail again?
95
Looks like it.
96
His hippo must be stuck in the mud, so to speak.
97
Wally, come on!
98
How long are you gonna stay up there?
99
I can't get down!
100
He's probably just waiting for the paint to dry.
101
No, I can't get down because I'm really terrified of heights!
102
Then why'd you climb a tree, Wally?
103
No idea.
104
It just happened.
105
We'll find a way to get you down.
106
Yep!
107
The The This isn't quite high enough.
108
Then we need more stuff.
109
Guys, guys,
110
please help me!
111
Almost there.. kinda.
112
We're out of stuff.
113
Hmm.. wait!
114
Yes!
115
Easy.
116
Whoa! So, is it over?
117
Wet paint sign.
118
Aww.
119
It was a nice little bench.
120
Huh?
121
Hmm.
122
Crash, Chico.
123
You saved my life, remember?
124
Your good friend, Wally, I'd like to think I'm worth more than a bench.
125
At least a little.
126
Of course it was a really nice bench.
127
Wally, pal, of course you are!
128
I can make as many benches as I want.
129
But there's only one Wally and he's a treasure.
130
Chico teared up a little watching the tender scene.
131
To keep from crying, he looked up at the sky.
132
Wally, Crash, look it!
133
It's a...
134
A real flying hippo!
135
Yeah!
136
Hey, look at him go, Mojo Hippo!

Why Practice Speaking with This Video?

This delightful segment from the cartoon "The Bench" offers a unique opportunity for English learners to practice speaking in a fun and engaging context. The interaction between characters, such as Crash the rabbit and Chico the Hedgehog, showcases everyday conversation in a lighthearted manner. By mimicking their dialogues, learners can improve their fluency and pronunciation while enjoying the whimsical story. Engaging with animated characters stimulates a more relaxed atmosphere, making it easier for learners to practice without the pressure of a formal setting. Additionally, practicing with sequences like these not only enhances vocabulary but also aids in comprehension—key factors in advancing your IELTS speaking practice.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

In the transcript, several grammatical structures and casual expressions can enhance your understanding of spoken English:

  • Use of questions for engagement: The phrase "Hey dude. It’s done?" demonstrates a friendly way of prompting conversation, showcasing how questions keep a dialogue flowing.
  • Conditional constructions: The phrase "Well, that depends on what kind of paint you used." exemplifies using "depends on" to discuss conditions and possibilities, which is a common conversational structure.
  • Colloquial idioms: Expressions like "paint to dry" and "find something to do" reveal casual language used in daily conversations, making them useful for learners wishing to integrate into English-speaking environments.
  • Descriptive language: The vivid description of “Poet Mojo” draws on metaphors, engaging learners through imaginative language that can enhance their expressive speaking abilities during shadow speak exercises.

Common Pronunciation Traps

As you practice speaking along with characters from "The Bench," pay attention to certain tricky words and phrases that could be challenging:

  • “Hanker”: This less common word may be pronounced incorrectly. Focus on the soft "h" and the clear "-anker" ending to get it right.
  • “Mojo”: The pronunciation might lead to misunderstanding. Ensure you pronounce it with an emphasis on the "mo," allowing the sound to roll smoothly into the "jo." This will help in clarifying your speech.
  • “Pinkified”: The playful term may seem odd, so practice saying it slowly first, breaking it into syllables: "pink-i-fied." Once you master it, using playful words can make your conversations more enjoyable.

Utilizing a shadowing app for repeated practice with these phrases can significantly enhance your confidence in pronunciation and delivery, perfect for mastering conversational 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.
