83
That way the dishes won't bother you.
84
I'll do them the moment I get back.

95
You're welcome anytime, Sandra.
96
Glad you enjoyed.
97
Hi, Sandra.
98
What happened to your hand?
99
Uh, nothing.
100
I'm fine.
101
Sandra?
102
So, what did Mom say?
103
You know her.
104
She was cool about it.
105
In fact, I'm actually jealous.
106
Mom has been treating Mike better than she treats me.
107
Now what did you have your mother do for you?
108
Huh?
109
You know we went to play badminton with Mike, right?
110
Mike twisted his ankle.
111
His parents were away for the weekend, so Alicia took Mike home with her, and her mom was cool about it.
112
And yet you say she does not treat you well?
113
Huh.
114
Sandra?
115
I'll tell you what being not treated well looks like.
116
It looks like this.
117
Sandra, who did this to you?
118
My mom.
119
My foster mom.
120
I am an orphan who was given away to this loving family.
121
Why aren't you eating?
122
I don't like peas.
123
Can I get something else, please?
124
Oh, you don't like peas, is it?
125
Nope, I don't.
126
Then you don't have to eat them.
127
In fact, you don't have to eat anything I cook until you are hungry enough to finish the peas.
128
Now go to your room.
129
Get out! Where is my brooch?
130
I know I kept it here. Where?
131
Mom, here it is!
132
I found- You had it all this time?
133
No, I just- You little thief!
134
Is that what they taught you at the orphanage?
135
You raided your mom's cupboard?
136
That must have hurt. That is why...
137
My life was full of scars for almost five years
138
Until my foster mom's brother came to visit
139
He saw my plight
140
and offered to adopt me My foster mother was only too happy to get rid of me She said,
141
now that I have kept a child I can't imagine why I didn't bring a dog home instead Sandra,
142
I am so sorry You don't know what you have, Alicia.
143
Stop taking your mother for granted.
144
Just because she keeps sacrificing, letting you have her brand new outfit, cooks just because you ask her to after she's already finished cooking.
145
Stop it.
146
Don't be your mother's pain.
147
Alicia?
148
Oh, hi, Ma.
149
Hello?
150
What's the matter?
151
Is everything okay?
152
Yes.
153
Stop it!
154
Don't be your mother's pain!
155
Thank you for the outfit, Ma.
156
You're returning it?
157
Thank you.
158
What?
159
Today was not your turn to do the dishes.
160
I had time, so I just thought...
161
What time are Tina and Mike coming to study?
162
What would you like?
163
Lemonade or a milkshake?
164
Witch sandwiches?
165
Thanks, Mom.
166
But I already got some chips and dip.
167
You don't have to do anything.
168
You already do so much.
169
I don't know what is happening with Alicia.
170
They grow up too fast, don't they?
171
Fast and sudden.
172
You wake up one day and they just don't need you anymore.
173
They will always need us.
174
Bye!
175
Hello?
176
Hi darling.
177
Hi.
178
I go on a tour for five days and you become depressed?
179
No, it has to be something else.
180
It's your daughter.
181
She doesn't need us anymore.
182
They always need us.
183
I don't know.
184
No. Have you spoken to her about whatever it is?
185
No. Then talk to her.
186
You two are like the best best friend mother and daughter duo I know.
187
So please talk to her directly and sort this out, okay?
188
Okay.
189
Love you.
190
Too.
191
Bye.
192
Hi, Mom.
193
I am sorry I am a bit late.
194
I'll get the dinner going.
195
No. Already ordered pizza.
196
You and a pizza?
197
Since my daughter has not been hounding me for it, I thought, I'll do the honors.
198
Look, Mom, I am sorry that I have been such a pain.
199
Pain?
200
Um, mm-hmm.
201
But now I have realized.
202
Sit.
203
Talk.
204
Explain.
205
Okay.
206
I have never valued you as much as I should have.
207
I am so sorry.
208
Wow, and here I thought you didn't want me around you anymore.
209
What?
210
No, that's not true!
211
Oh, Alicia, come here.
212
I'm sorry for what Sandra has had to go through, but our relationship is different.
213
Of course you value me.
214
I am always making demands in spite of all that you do.
215
How is that valuing you?
216
Remember last year there was this school trip that you had been really looking forward to?
217
Of course, but...
218
But I fell sick at the last minute and you cancelled.
219
I begged you to go, but you cancelled.
220
Well, how could I go?
221
Isn't that valuing me, loving me?
222
You would have done the same.
223
Yes, and that is the point.
224
When two people love each other as much as you and I do, we become informal and easy with each other.
225
It's not making demands, it's just the faith that even when you're annoying, the other person will love you just as much.
226
I mean, you begged me to let you play badminton and do the dishes later, but when you got back, you did do the dishes.
227
You fulfilled your promise.
228
You made me make that lemonade only because you think I make the best lemonade in the world, and you took the iced tea with you for the badminton game, right?
229
You didn't throw it?
230
It is not a crime to feel you have somewhat of a right on someone you love, without causing them harm, of course.
231
So are you saying that I am a good daughter?
232
You're a great daughter.
233
You're smart, sensible, responsible, hardworking, cheerful.
234
And I am that way because of the best, bestest mom that you are.
235
I love you, Mom.
236
Love you, honey.
237
Does that mean I get that yellow skirt you got yesterday?
238
Don't you dare, I get to wear that one first.
239
Sandra said don't be your mother's pain.
240
Ouch, and you took that to heart.
241
It's silly, but it also makes me proud.
242
Does that mean I am not a pain?
243
You can be a pain, sometimes.
244
But hey, I wouldn't have it any other way.
245
What is that annoying rule again?
246
If you like something in your mom's cupboard, it is yours.
247
What an annoying rule.
248
you

Perché esercitarsi a parlare con questo video?

Questo video offre un contesto autentico e divertente che incoraggia la pratica di conversazione in inglese. La conversazione tra madre e figlia non solo mostra il legame familiare ma anche come le interazioni quotidiane possano essere utilizzate per imparare l'inglese con youtube. Praticare il parlato in un contesto di vita reale aiuta a migliorare la fluidità e la comprensione. Gli studenti possono sviluppare la loro capacità di comunicare in situazioni simili, rendendo l'apprendimento più rilevante e interessante.

Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto

  • Domande retoriche: "Where is that outfit?" Questo tipo di domanda può essere utilizzato per esprimere sorpresa o frustrazione.
  • Uso di espressioni colloquiali: Frasi come "Make me proud" sono comuni nel linguaggio quotidiano e mostrano modi per incoraggiare e motivare gli altri.
  • Strutture imperativi: "Come!" è un esempio di un comando che sprona l'altra persona ad agire rapidamente, utile per esprimere urgenza.
  • Introduzione e presentazione: "I am Alicia" e "I am Sandra" rappresentano modi semplici ma efficaci per presentarsi a nuove persone.

Trappole comuni nella pronuncia

Ci sono alcune parole e frasi nel video che potrebbero risultare difficili da pronunciare correttamente. Ad esempio, "presentation" può portare a confusione per via della sua struttura sillabica. Inoltre, "chocolate frappe" richiede attenzione speciale per i suoni consonantici finali. Gli studenti dovrebbero praticare il shadow speech per migliorare la propria pronuncia, ripetendo le frasi dopo il parlante, simultaneamente. Utilizzare tecniche di shadowspeaks consente di apprendere la melodia e il ritmo naturale della lingua, facilitando una produzione più fluida e naturale.

In sintesi, utilizzare video come questo per praticare la conversazione in inglese non solo arricchisce il vocabolario ma permette anche di apprendere strutture grammaticali e migliorare la pronuncia in modo coinvolgente e immediato.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
