Episode 18: Dora Wants to Raise a Pet
4
Welcome home, Dora.
5
How was your day?
6
It was as usual, but you know what saved my day?
7
What brightened your day, my friend?
8
When walking down the street from the K &K supermarket, I met those little puppies that we played with at the park yesterday.
9
That's all?
10
What do you mean?
11
They are so adorable and they even wiggled their tails in seeing me?
12
They are dogs.
13
They wiggle their tails all the time.
14
Jess, I'm thinking about adopting a puppy.
15
What do you think? on the order of local authorities.
16
Oh no no, no way.
17
Why is it so?
18
I thought you had fun with those dogs at the park.
19
I did, Dora, but it's a different thing.
20
Playing with pets such as dogs or cats is taking candies from a baby.
21
It's fun.
22
Jess!
23
You should be ashamed of yourself for that action.
24
Oh, come on.
25
That's just a metaphor, an example.
26
Wait, where was I?
27
You were talking about playing with pets?
28
Yes, let me finish this sentence.
29
I mean, playing with pets is much easier than bringing them home.
30
I understand that getting a pet is no easy decision.
31
So let's table this.
32
Make this a debate about the pros and cons of raising a pet.
33
If I win, we can have a pet.
34
Alright.
35
The first drawback to pets in the home is allergies.
36
Rejected.
37
We're both allergy -free to animals, aren't we?
38
You won.
39
Next, the biggest disadvantage of getting a pet is an increase in responsibility.
40
Just like a young child, pets rely on you for absolutely everything.
41
Most pets, such as dogs, cats, and birds, can be trained.
42
That'll be a relief for pet owners.
43
Don't forget that we have a hectic schedule.
44
Sometimes we even have to go on business trips.
45
A dog will need you to walk him to the park.
46
Plus, our apartment is not so spacious for big pets.
47
I get what you mean.
48
A small pet like a hamster or mouse might be a better option.
49
There you go, Dora.
50
All in all, we can have a pet if we can take care of it, right?
51
Yes, we can.
52
No matter what kind of pet you get, I'm sure that we'll experience joy and love.
53
Aww, thank you Jess.
54
Music.
55
Hello!
56
Welcome to the pet's loving home!
57
What can I do for you girls?
58
We're looking for a pet.
59
We'll go for adoption!
60
Wait a minute, Jess.
61
I thought we were done talking about this at home.
62
I don't want to sound like a bad person.
63
However, as far as I can see, Raising an adopted pet will demand us a lot of effort and responsibilities.
64
We take care, tame, and train every single pet, either normal or adopted, in pets' loving home.
65
So don't worry about it.
66
See, I told you, adopt don't shop.
67
By adopting an animal that's been abandoned, You are giving a good home to a living thing.
68
We also open up shelter space for another animal who might desperately need it, right?
69
That's very true.
70
I'm so proud of you, Jess.
71
So what kind of pet do you want to raise?
72
We're quite busy and also new to getting pets, so we'd love to adopt some small and easy to raise animals.
73
Oh, I see.
74
Please follow me, I'm going to show you two around.
75
Thank you.
76
In Pets Loving Home, we house several kinds of animals.
77
Some of the most common pets that people often raise at home are dogs, cats, birds, and small rodents,
78
such as hamsters, mice, guinea pigs, and so on.
79
Thank you.
80
Thank you.
81
Besides, lesser known animals are also some of people's preferences.
82
We have iguanas!
83
Too ugly.
84
Not very pretty.
85
Snakes?
86
Too slithering. And scary.
87
Turtles?
88
Too slow.
89
As slow as a snail.
90
How about ferrets?
91
A bit too furry.
92
Rabbits?
93
Awwww!
94
How cute they are!
95
But bunnies have lots of babies.
96
Well, that's all we have in Pets Loving House.
97
Wow, how about that beautiful parrot?
98
Oh, that's Captain Kiwi.
99
He was brought here way down from a rainforest in New Zealand.
100
His mother died when he was two months old.
101
Kiwi was found to have an injured wing so he can't fly anymore.
102
That's the saddest story I've ever heard.
103
Yeah, right?
104
What a pity for the little bird.
105
Jess, can we adopt him, please?
106
Please, please?
107
Welcome home, Captain Kiwi!
108
You're part of our family now.
109
Home, home!
110
Look how excited he is.
111
I'm so happy we decided to bring Kiwi home.
112
He will be a new wind for us.
113
Yes, but do you want to give him a different name?
114
I think Captain Kiwi is a pretty name for him.
115
He was from New Zealand, the Kiwiland.
116
And he also has green feathers like the color of a kiwi.
117
Captain Kiwi is definitely just a name for him.
118
Sounds reasonable.
119
Anyways, remember to put him in the cage that we bought.
120
I gotta give Mike a call to tell him about our new pet now.
121
Yes, I remember it now.
122
Your new parrot will need a cage to call home.
123
You'll also want to pick out a small padlock for the door.
124
Remember that birds are incredibly smart and crafty creatures.
125
So if you're not careful, your parent may figure out how to escape the cage.
126
A padlock will ensure your bird stays inside its cage, where it will be safe when you're not home.
127
Alright Kiwi, this is your home now.
128
My name is Dora.
129
Good night, little bird.
130
Night night!
131
Music playing.

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.
