Music The

Last Day of the Year

Very good!

One more.

There was a princess.

Princess.

Very good.

Keep going.

Who lived in a big house in the mountains.

In the mountains.

Look, the mountains.

And there's the princess.

And now my princess, it is time to go to sleep.

Good night, Mommy.

Sweet dreams, Lupita.

I'm so

sorry.

The school is having the parent-teacher conferences again.

Next month.

That's nice.

Nice?

Do you remember what happened to me last time?

Your daughter is doing fine, Mrs. Diaz.

You should work with her every night to make sure that she understands what she is reading.

You should also review all her homework, okay?

Do you have any questions?

No. Carmen.

Carmen.

Don't get so worried.

Everything will be fine.

What?

Last time was a disaster.

I couldn't understand anything the teacher said.

That was last year.

Your English is much better now.

Really?

Do you think so? Of course.

You go to English class every week, don't you?

Yes.

My English is better.

But talking to the teacher isn't easy.

It makes me feel so...

What's the word?

Helpless.

Helpless?

Yes.

Juan, I'm worried about Lupe's reading.

She's having trouble.

If Lupe's having trouble reading, her teacher will take care of it.

That's her job.

We have to help Lupe.

Why did we come to this country?

For her education.

Not only to watch football.

Honey.

In this country, they call it soccer.

Juan, are you paying attention?

I can't help Lupe if I can't talk to the teacher and ask questions.

So think of the questions to ask the teacher and say them out loud.

You have to practice just like soccer.

Like soccer?

What are you talking about, Juan?

I'm talking about practice.

You've got to practice saying your lines like...

actors on TV.

Okay.

If it's so easy, show me.

Okay?

Teacher.

My daughter, Guadalupe, how is she?

How is she?

Say it.

What does this say?

This man tell your mother what this says.

I think it's a good report, mother.

Ismail, the teacher is very happy with you.

I am sure the teacher is very happy with you, Ismail.

But I don't think that's what this letter says.

Carmen?

It's Fatima.

Yes, Fatima, I am sure.

Sure.

The note is about the parent-teacher conferences.

Lupe brought the same note home. Are you going?

We have to go.

It's our job.

Don't worry, Fatima.

Last year I didn't understand anything either.

This year will be different.

Yes, you are right.

We must do something.

A parent what?

Coordinator.

Call 3-1-1 for the number?

Yes, I will do it right now.

Parent...

100

Co... Or...

101

Di...

102

Ne...

103

Tor Parent Co-ordinator Hello, 3-1-1 I want to help my daughter with school.

104

She goes to PS 303 in Brooklyn.

105

Can you give me the number for the parent co-ordinator?

106

Yes, I have a pencil.

107

Give me the number please.

108

I know exactly what you mean, Miss Diaz.

109

People here talk so fast.

110

When I first came to New York City, it was hard for me to understand anything.

111

I know.

112

The problem is, there are so many questions to ask at the parent-teacher conference, I get nervous.

113

Yes, me too.

114

Here, this family guide has some good questions you can ask.

115

We have it in eight languages.

116

Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Haitian, Creole,

117

Korean, Russian, Urdu, and Bengali.

118

Thank you.

119

And remember, if you need an interpreter, just ask for one.

120

Really?

121

An interpreter?

122

You can ask for an interpreter at the school anytime you need one.

123

Thank you.

124

You are natural leaders.

125

Leaders?

126

I didn't even finish high school.

127

And my English isn't so good.

128

You don't need to speak perfect English to be a leader.

129

If you can talk to me and to your friends about the school, you can talk to anyone.

130

Maybe.

131

Thank you.

132

Goodbye.

133

Goodbye.

134

Thank you.

135

Goodbye.

136

These questions are long and difficult.

137

Even when I read them in Arabic.

138

Well, what else can we do?

139

I have an idea.

140

Let's call some other parents.

141

Yes.

142

Let's call Pierre and Ming.

143

Let's go.

144

Come on.

145

Hi.

146

Hello, Pierre.

147

Hello.

148

Sometimes asking questions is not easy.

149

Yes.

150

Especially when you are nervous.

151

But that's why I always bring a notebook.

152

I take notes when the person is talking.

153

I think it helps if you repeat back what you hear.

154

Let me show you.

155

You are the teacher, Ming.

156

Tell me about my daughter's homework.

157

Well, Mrs. Diaz, sometimes your daughter's homework is late,

158

and sometimes she doesn't answer all of the questions and sometimes it's a mess

159

so in other words you are saying to me that my daughter should do her homework on time

160

answer all the questions and be neat.

161

Exactly!

162

Hello?

163

Carmen, where were you?

164

I was worried.

165

I met with the other parents.

166

We are getting ready for the parent-teacher confidence.

167

I keep telling you, let the people at the school do their work.

168

You are just a parent.

169

Exactly.

170

And parents need to get involved.

171

Juan, we are getting together again on Saturday, and you should come.

172

Me?

173

Yes, you.

174

Okay, everyone.

175

We have the questions.

176

Now, we have to practice asking them out loud.

177

Who wants to go first?

178

Come on!

179

We have to practice our lines.

180

Like actors on TV.

181

Is there any extra reading I can give my son?

182

What's the matter, Pierre?

183

I don't think I can do it.

184

Yes, you can.

185

Remember, you are an actor.

186

Say it with emotion.

187

Ready? And...

188

Is there any extra reading I can give my son?

189

Bravo!

190

Nice!

191

That was great!

192

Okay, go.

193

Is my son doing his homework?

194

Repeat that meme, like a movie star.

195

Is my son doing his homework?

196

One more time.

197

Is my son doing his homework every night?

198

Every night?

199

I like that.

200

But sometimes I can't understand my son's homework.

201

My parents didn't understand my homework either.

202

But you know, I still did it.

203

And in third grade, I did extra work.

204

Extra work?

205

That year, I fell in love with my teacher teacher.

206

She was so kind, so beautiful.

207

I wrote a love poem to her every night.

208

Love poems?

209

That's not homework. Are we finished?

210

Done.

211

We did it.

212

Oh my God.

213

Let's give this to the parent coordinator.

214

She can make copies and give it to the other parents.

215

What is this a picture of, Lupe?

216

It's the princess.

217

And what is she doing?

218

Is she playing soccer?

219

Soccer?

220

Nobody in this story plays soccer, Papi.

221

Oh, well, well, maybe someday she will.

222

The title of this book is The Soccer Princess of Sunset Park.

223

That's not what it says, Boppy.

224

Are you sure?

225

Just read the words, Boppy.

226

Just read.

227

Okay.

228

Oh, look.

229

The prince said, I love you, princess.

230

And the princess said, I want to play soccer!

231

Soccer?

232

Yes, soccer.

233

Please, Juan, do you know what time it is?

234

The conference is starting.

235

Carmen, take it easy.

236

Are you coming or not?

237

I can't decide.

238

I'm leaving.

239

Wait.

240

I can't decide.

241

What do you think?

242

The red one?

243

The green one?

244

The blue one?

245

Which one will the teacher like?

246

It doesn't matter.

247

You don't need to wear a tie.

248

Let's go.

249

Carmen, this is important.

250

This is our daughter's education.

251

Is my son doing his math homework?

252

Does he ask questions in class?

253

Excuse me.

254

Can I have an interpreter?

255

Can I have an interpreter?

256

Can I have an interpreter?

257

Doctor?

258

How can I help my son with his reading?

259

I'm sorry.

260

Can you please slow down and explain what you mean? Of course.

261

And did you know Jean-Claude won the poetry contest last week?

262

Oh!

263

Jean-Claude didn't tell me.

264

You won the poetry contest.

265

He writes the most beautiful poems.

266

A new one every day?

267

Every day?

268

He takes after his father.

269

Can I get my daughter's report card in Spanish? Of course.

270

You can also call me anytime.

271

The door is always open.

272

Thank you. So?

273

That went well.

274

Carmen.

275

How was your conference?

276

Wonderful.

277

And how was your conference?

278

It was great.

279

Well, congratulations to you both.

280

What this school needs is more parents like us.

281

I don't know.

282

I'm

283

going to

284

go ahead and put it in the middle of the room.

285

Thank you.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
