I only want some food and drink.
201
Zorro goes to Lolita and whispers, I cannot forget this afternoon in the patio.
202

203
It is dangerous, whispers Lolita.

207
Zorro takes out his sword and they fight.

The two men are good fighters.
209
I want to arrest you, Zorro, says Captain Ramon.
210
You are a public enemy.
211
You cannot arrest me, says Zorro.
212
Zorro injures the captain's shoulder with his sword.
213
The captain falls to the floor.
214
Please help the captain, Zorro says to Don Carlos.
215
Then he smiles at Lolita and rides away on his horse.

217
Captain Ramon's injured shoulder.
218
The captain likes beautiful Lolita.
219
Don Carlos, says the captain, I like Lolita very much.
220
I come from a good family, and I am the governor's friend.
221
I'm 23 years old, and I am the captain of the presidio.
222
May I court Lolita?
223
First, I must explain something, says Don Carlos.
224
Don Diego Vega wants to court Lolita, too.
225
Lolita must choose her husband herself, but you have my permission to court her.
226
The next morning, there is a lot of noise at the presidio.
227
Don Diego and other men are watching.
228
There are many soldiers on their horses.
229
They are listening to Sergeant Gonzales.
230
Today is an important day.
231
We must find Zorro.
232
We must look in every hacienda and in every home.
233
Remember the governor's big reward.
234
Let's go.
235
That morning, Don Diego sends a letter to Don Carlos.
236
My dear friend, Sergeant Gonzales and his soldiers want to arrest Zorro.
237
It is dangerous for you and your family to stay at your hacienda.
238
Please come to my home in Reina de Los Angeles.
239
It is safe in my home.
240
I must go away for a few days.
241
Your friend, Diego Vega.
242
Don Carlos receives the letter and says, What a generous invitation.
243
Don Diego wants to protect Lolita.
244
We must accept the invitation.
245
Let us go immediately.
246
Don Diego's home in Reina de
247
Los Angeles is big and beautiful.
248
There are many rooms and many servants.
249
There is a big garden with trees and flowers.
250
Don Carlos and his family like it.
251
Lolita, marry Don Diego and this beautiful home is yours, says Donna Catalina.
252
I don't love Don Diego.
253
I don't want to marry him, says Lolita.
254
Lolita, tonight your mother and I must visit our old friends, says Don Carlos.
255
Can you stay at home alone?
256
Yes, of course.
257
There are many books in Don Diego's library.
258
I can stay here and read.
259
Lolita looks at the books.
260
How strange, she thinks.
261
Don Diego has books about love, passion, adventure, horses, and heroes.
262
But he isn't strong.
263
It is so lifeless.
264
Suddenly there is a knock at the door.
265
A servant opens it, and Captain Ramon enters.
266
He goes to the library and sees Lolita.
267
I'm glad you are alone.
268
You are a very beautiful girl.
269
I have your father's permission to court you.
270
I know that
271
Don Diego wants to marry you, but I am superior in every way.
272
Don Diego has no courage.
273
He is a weak man.
274
I am the captain of the Presidio.
275
I am alone, says Lolita.
276
You cannot stay here.
277
It is not right.
278
Please go away.
279
Captain Ramon takes her hand and says, Don't run away, Lolita.
280
You are mine.
281
Kiss me.
282
Lolita pushes him away and says, I don't want to kiss you.
283
Go away.
284
No, you are mine.
285
You must marry me.
286
Now kiss me.
287
Lolita slaps the captain's face.
288
At that moment, Zorro appears in the library and says, Captain Ramon, you are a villain.
289
Don't touch Lolita.
290
Leave this house immediately.
291
I cannot forget this terrible insult, says the captain, his face is red with anger.
292
Zorro opens the door and kicks him out.
293
Thank you for your help, Zorro.
294
You are courageous and kind.
295
I love you, Lolita says.
296
Dear Lolita, I love you too, says Zorro.
297
They embrace and kiss.
298
Captain Ramon returns to the presidio.
299
He is furious.
300
I must punish Lolita, her family, and Zorro for their insults, he thinks.
301
I must write a letter to the governor.
302
I must tell him that
303
Don Carlos Pulido and his family are traitors.
304
They are Zorro's friends.
305
They help him.
306
He writes the letter and sends it to the governor.
307
He smiles and says, I want to see the Pulido family in prison.
308
I want to see you in prison, says a man's voice.
309
Captain Ramon turns around and sees Zorro.
310
You are a villain.
311
Fight me, but don't hurt the Pulido family, says Zorro.
312
Sergeant Gonzales, come quickly, says the captain.
313
Zorro is here.
314
Zorro disappears.
315
I am here, Captain, says Sergeant Gonzales.
316
Take all the soldiers and find Zorro.
317
We must capture him.
318
The soldiers follow Zorro.
319
The night is dark.
320
It is difficult to follow him because his horse is very fast.
321
The next morning, the soldiers return to the presidio.
322
They are tired and angry.
323
Zorro is still free.
324
There are many people in front of the presidio that morning.
325
Don Diego is there too.
326
Something is happening.
327
An old friar is standing before the magistrate.
328
The old friar is in chains.
329
I am not a thief, says the old friar.
330
I am a poor friar.
331
What is happening, asks Don Diego.
332
This old friar is a thief.
333
He must be punished, answers the magistrate. That is impossible.
334
Friar Felipe is an honest man.
335
I know him, says Don Diego.
336
No, you are wrong, says the cruel magistrate.
337
He calls two soldiers and says, Whip this friar fifteen times.
338
The soldiers whip the old friar, and he falls to the ground.
339
Thank you.
340
Don Diego is very angry because Friar Felipe is his friend.
341
He returns to his father's hacienda.
342
Good afternoon, my son, says his father, Don Alejandro Vega.
343
I am happy to see you.
344
Come and tell me about Lolita.
345
Does she want to marry you?
346
I like Lolita, but she doesn't like me.
347
She likes romantic men.
348
What can I do?
349
Asks Don Diego girls like courageous romantic men you must talk about love
350
You must play the guitar and sing love songs give her some flowers
351
This is what young men do wake up Diego says
352
Donna Alejandro How ridiculous I cannot do these stupid things says
353
Don Diego you must try Lolita is a lovely girl says
354
Donna Alejandro There are many problems in my life.
355
I want to rest and meditate, says Don Diego.
356
In the evening, the magistrate and his friends are in the tavern.
357
They are laughing about the old friar.
358
Why are you laughing, asks a mysterious voice.
359
They look at the door of the tavern and see Zorro.
360
He has a pistol in one hand and a sword in the other.
361
Magistrate, I'm here to punish you, says Zorro.
362
Old Friar Felipe is not a thief, and you know it.
363
I am an important magistrate.
364
I don't like friars because they are your friends, Zorro.
365
Zorro gives a whip to the magistrate's friend and says, Now whip this corrupt magistrate fifteen times.
366
But I cannot do this, says the friend.
367
Whip him or I whip you, says Zorro.
368
The friend whips the magistrate.
369
After the punishment, the magistrate falls to the ground.
370
This is how I punish dishonest people, says Zorro.
371
The next day, everyone talks about the magistrate's punishment.
372
A group of young men want to help
373
Captain Ramon arrest Zorro.
374
They look for him in the hills and in the valleys.
375
In the evening, they go to the Vega Hacienda.
376
When Don Alejandro sees them, he says, Why are you all here?
377
We are looking for Zorro.
378
We want to capture the bandit and get the reward, but now we are tired and hungry.
379
Can you give us some food?
380
Yes, of course.
381
Please come in.
382
You can put your swords and pistols near the door, says Don Alejandro.
383
Sit down.
384

385
Don Alejandro and Don Diego talk to the young men.
386
At 9 p .m., Don Diego says, Please excuse me.

398
Zorro the bandit!
399
They all say.
400

435
Don Carlos is furious.
436
His wife and daughter cry.
437
When Don Diego hears about this, he goes to the governor.
438
He asks him, Why is the Polito family in prison?
439
The governor answers, They are Zorro's friends.
440
They help and protect him.
441
They are traitors.
442
I cannot believe this.
443
I know them.
444
They are honest people.
445
They don't help bandits, says Don Diego.
446
You are wrong, Don Diego.
447

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.
