1
In the future, the earth is not a good place to live.
2
It is the 21st century, but the world is very different.
3
There are no flying cars.
4
There are no robot cities.
5
The world is sick.
6
A terrible blight is killing all the food.
7
Corn is the only crop that can still grow.
8
The air is full of dust.
9
Families live in old farmhouses.
10
Schools teach children that the Apollo moon landings were a fake.
11
They do not want children to look at the stars.
12
They want them to learn how to be farmers.
13
The only goal is to find a way to grow more food on the dying planet.
14
Cooper is a man who lives on a farm.
15
He lives with his father-in-law, Donald.
16
He lives with his 15-year-old son, Tom.
17
He lives with his 10-year-old daughter, Murphy.
18
He is a farmer, but he is not happy.
19
He used to be a pilot and an engineer for NASA.
20
He is good at fixing machines.
21
He knows he was born to fly.
22
Now he just drives a tractor in the dust.
23
Murphy is a very smart girl.
24
She thinks her room is haunted by a ghost.
25
This ghost sometimes knocks books off her shelf.
26
Cooper tells her that ghosts are not real.
27
He says there is a rational explanation for everything.
28
One day, a big dust storm comes.
29
Murphy forgets to close her window.
30
Dust comes into her room.
31
On the floor, the dust makes strange lines.
32
It looks like a pattern, not random.
33
Cooper looks at the dust lines.
34
He realizes it is not a ghost.
35
It is gravity.
36
Someone is using gravity to send a message.
37
The pattern on the floor is coordinates.
38
It is a location on a map.
39
Cooper is curious.
40
He follows the coordinates in his truck.
41
He drives for a long time.
42
Finally, he arrives at a secret place.
43
It is a hidden NASA base.
44
He is shocked.
45
He thought NASA was closed.
46
At the base, he meets an old professor.
47
His name is Professor Brand.
48
The professor explains the situation to Cooper.
49
He tells Cooper the truth about the world.
50
Earth is dying.
51
Soon, there will be no more food.
52
Humanity will end.
53
But the professor has a plan.
54
Years ago, a mysterious wormhole appeared near Saturn.
55
A wormhole is a tunnel through space and time.
56
It leads to another galaxy.
57
Some intelligent beings probably put it there to help humanity.
58
NASA sent 12 astronauts through the wormhole years ago.
59
They went to look at planets in the new galaxy.
60
Each astronaut went to a different planet.
61
They sent back simple signals.
62
The signals said good or bad.
63
Three of them sent back good signals.
64
These three planets might be able to support human life.
65
Professor Brand now has a new mission.
66
They will send a small ship with a crew through the wormhole.
67
They must check these three planets.
68
They must find a new home for the people of Earth.
69
Professor Brand asks Cooper to be the pilot for this mission.
70
Cooper has a choice.
71
He can stay on the farm with his family.
72
Or he can go to space to try to save them.
73
He decides to go.
74
It breaks his heart.
75
But he goes for the future of his children.
76
Murphy is very angry.
77
She does not want her father to leave.
78
She thinks the ghost was trying to tell him to stay.
79
Cooper gives her a watch before he leaves.
80
He tells her that when they look at the same time, they will be connected.
81
He then drives away.
82
Murphy runs out of the house.
83
But he is already gone.
84
The spaceship is called the Endurance.
85
The crew has four main members.
86
Cooper is the pilot.
87
Amelia Brand is a scientist and the professor's daughter.
88
Doyle and Romilly are two other scientists.
89
They also have two robot assistants.
90
Their names are TARS and CASE.
91
The robots are big and black.
92
They are rectangular boxes that can move and talk.
93
The journey to Saturn takes two years.
94
Everyone on the ship is asleep in special beds.
95
These beds are called cryochambers.
96
They save time and resources.
97
Cooper and the others take turns waking up to check the ship.
98
When they finally reach the wormhole, it is an amazing sight.
99
It looks like a giant, perfect sphere floating in space.
100
It is not a hole.
101
It is a ball.
102
Light bends around it.
103
They go inside.
104
It is a strange tunnel.
105
They see distorted images of other galaxies.
106
They can even see their own past.
107
It is like looking into a huge, circular mirror.
108
Then, they come out the other side.
109
They are in a new galaxy.
110
They are far from home.
111
The first planet they go to is called Miller's Planet.
112
It is near a giant black hole named Gargantua.
113
A black hole has very strong gravity.
114
Because of this, time moves much slower on Miller's Planet.
115
For every hour they spend on the planet, seven years will pass on Earth.
116
They must be very fast.
117
Doyle, Brand, and Cooper go down to the planet in a small shuttle.
118
Romilly stays on the Endurance.
119
He will do research on the black hole.
120
When they land, they see water.
121
The whole planet is a giant, shallow ocean.
122
There is no land.
123
They also see the wreckage of the first astronaut's ship.
124
But there is no sign of the astronaut.
125
Suddenly, an alarm goes off.
126
A huge wave is coming.
127
It is not a normal wave.
128
It is a giant wall of water, thousands of meters high.
129
The gravity of the black hole causes it.
130
Brand wants to get the data from the astronaut's ship first.
131
She is too slow.
132
The wave hits.
133
Water floods the shuttle's engine.
134
Doyle is swept away and killed.
135
The wave almost destroys their ship.
136
Cooper and Brand barely get the shuttle to lift off.
137
They escape back to the Endurance.
138
When they get back, they are shocked.
139
Romilly looks much older.
140
His beard is long and gray.
141
For them, only a few hours passed on the planet.
142
But for Romilly, on the endurance, 23 years have passed.
143
The time difference is real.
144
Cooper checks his messages from home.
145
Tom, his son, has grown up.
146
He graduated, got married, and had a child.
147
Murphy is now a grown woman.
148
She is working as a scientist with Professor Brand.
149
In one message, Murphy speaks to him.
150
It is her birthday.
151
She is the same age he was when he left.
152
She is not angry anymore.
153
She just wants him to come home.
154
She tells him that the professor is dying.
155
Before he dies, he tells her a secret.
156
He tells her the truth about his plan.
157
He had solved half of the equation to save the people of Earth.
158
But he could not solve the second half.
159
He needed data from inside a black hole to finish it.
160
He knew he could never get that data.
161
So, plan A was a lie.
162
There was no way to save the people on earth.
163
The only real plan was plan B.
164
Plan B was to use the ship's cargo of frozen human embryos.
165
They would start a new human colony on another planet.
166
He was sending the crew away so that humanity could start over.
167
He was leaving the people on earth to die.
168
is heartbroken and angry.
169
She tells Cooper this through the message.
170
Cooper feels terrible.
171
He has left his children to die for a lie.
172
The Endurance has enough fuel for only one more planet.
173
They have to choose between two.
174
One is Dr.
175
Mann's planet.
176
The other is Edmund's planet.
177
Dr.
178
Mann's signal is still strong.
179
He is a great scientist.
180
He is a hero to the crew.
181
Brand wants to go to Edmund's planet.
182
She is in love with the astronaut who went there.
183
Cooper thinks she is being emotional.
184
He chooses Dr.
185
Mann's planet.
186
They land on Dr.
187
Mann's planet.
188
It is a cold, icy world.
189
It is covered in clouds of freezing gas.
190
They find Dr.
191
Man in a small base.
192
He is alive, but very weak.
193
He is so happy to see them.
194
He tells them his planet is great for human life.
195
He shows them data about the surface.
196
But there is something wrong.
197
His robot, Kip, is broken.
198
Dr.
199
Man says Kip crashed a long time ago.
200
Cooper and the others are suspicious.
201
Romilly stays behind to study Kip.
202
He tries to fix the robot's memory.
203
Cooper, Brand, and Dr.
204
Mann go to explore the planet's surface.
205
Dr.
206
Mann leads them to a beautiful, frozen spot.
207
He says it is safe.
208
But then, his helmet display changes.
209
It shows the truth.
210
The atmosphere is poisonous and deadly.
211
There is no safe place on this planet.
212
The data he sent was all fake.
213
He was just afraid to die alone.
214
He wanted to be rescued, no matter what.
215
Dr.
216
Mann tries to kill Cooper.
217
He breaks Cooper's helmet.
218
He cuts off his air supply.
219
He leaves him to die on the ice.
220
He goes back to the base to steal the endurance.
221
Back at the base, Romilly finally gets Kip working.
222
The robot starts to tell the truth.
223
Please do not.
224
It says.
225
But then it explodes.
226
Dr.
227
Mann had booby-trapped it.
228
The explosion kills Romilly.
229
Cooper is dying on the ice.
230
But Brand comes back and saves him.
231
They rush back to the base.
232
They are too late.
233
They see Dr.
234
Mann flying away in a shuttle.
235
He is trying to dock with the Endurance.
236
But he is not a good pilot.
237
He tries to dock too fast.
238
The air pressure is too strong.
239
The airlock explodes.
240
The shuttle is destroyed.
241
Dr.
242
Mann is killed.
243
The explosion damages the endurance.
244
The ship starts to spin wildly out of control.
245
It is falling towards the black hole, Gargantua.
246
Cooper and Brand are in their own shuttle.
247
Cooper does a very dangerous thing.
248
He flies his shuttle next to the spinning endurance.
249
He matches its spin perfectly.
250
It is a perfect piece of flying.
251
They are able to dock.
252
They get control of the main ship again.
253
But the damage is done.
254
They have very little fuel left.
255
They cannot go home.
256
They can only go to one place.
257
They decide to use the black hole's gravity for one final push.
258
It is a slingshot maneuver.
259
It will send them towards Edmund's planet.
260
But to make it work, they have to get very close to the black hole.
261
Cooper and his robot, TARS, will detach in one small shuttle.
262
They will go into the black hole.
263
They will collect the quantum data from inside.
264
This is the data Professor Brand needed.
265
Meanwhile, Brand will take the Endurance and the embryos to Edmund's planet.
266
TARS goes into the black hole first.
267
Cooper follows.
268
As he falls, the ship is torn apart by the immense gravity.
269
He is thrown out of his seat.
270
Cooper wakes up.
271
He is not in space anymore.
272
He is in a strange place.
273
It is a kind of giant, 3D grid made of light.
274
He is inside the Tesseract.
275
It is a place built by the mysterious beings from the fifth dimension.
276
They are the ones who made the wormhole.
277
They have made this place so that Cooper can communicate with the past.
278
He sees that the Tesseract is full of bookshelves.
279
He realizes it is the back of the bookshelf in Murphy's old room.
280
He is looking through time.
281
He can see every moment in Murphy's bedroom.
282
He sees himself leaving.
283
He sees Murphy as a child, watching him go.
284
He sees her as a young woman.
285
He tries to talk to her.
286
He pushes on the books.
287
They move in the tesseract.
288
In the past, they just fall off the shelf.
289
He is the ghost.
290
He was always the ghost.
291
He tries to send a message.
292
He finds Tars, who is also in the tesseract.
293
Tars has collected the quantum data from the black hole.
294
But Cooper needs to send it to Murphy.
295
He sees the watch he gave her.
296
It is hanging on the wall.
297
He realizes he can use gravity to move the second hand.
298
He can send the data by making the hand move in a pattern.
299
In Morse code, the hand ticks.
300
Tick, tick, tick.
301
It is the data from the black hole.
302
On the other side, Murphy is now a grown woman.
303
She is back in her old room.
304
She is watching the watch.
305
She sees the hand moving strangely.
306
She finally understands.
307
Her father is not gone.
308
He is there.
309
He is communicating with her.
310
She writes down the data from the watch.
311
With this data, she can solve the professor's equation.
312
Humanity can be saved.
313
She tells him, they didn't bring us here to change the past.
314
The tesseract starts to close.
315
The beings are done with him.
316
He is sent back out of the black hole.
317
Cooper wakes up again.
318
He is floating in space, near Saturn.
319
An old NASA ship finds him.
320
He is alive.
321
He is taken to a space station.
322
It is a giant cylinder.
323
It is spinning to create gravity.
324
It is full of plants, houses, and people.
325
This is Cooper Station.
326
Murphy's work saved them all.
327
Humanity left earth.
328
Cooper is taken to a hospital.
329
He is a famous man.
330
He is a hero from the past.
331
A man tells him that he should meet an old woman.
332
It is Murphy.
333
She is very, very old.
334
She is lying in a bed.
335
She is surrounded by her family.
336
Cooper goes to her.
337
She has lived a long, full life.
338
She looks at him.
339
She is happy to see her father again.
340
But she is old, and he is still young.

Time did not pass for him.
342
She tells him she always knew he would come back.
343
She tells him that parents should not have to watch their children die.

She is surrounded by her family.
345
She has her children and grandchildren.
346
She is content.
347
She tells him to go.
348
She says, go.
349
Cooper has no place here.
350
His daughter is gone.
351
He has nothing left.
352
But Brand is still out there.
353
She is on Edmund's planet.
354
He steals a small spaceship.
355
He flies back through the wormhole.
356
He is heading towards Brand.
357
He finds her.
358
She is alone on the planet.
359
She is next to the grave of Edmunds.
360
She is setting up a camp.

Guida Step-by-Step per la Tecnica di Shadowing

Per affrontare le difficoltà presentate in questo video, puoi seguire questi passi nella tua pratica di conversazione in inglese:

  1. Ascolta attentamente: Prima di tutto, ascolta il video senza alcuna interruzione. Fai attenzione all'intonazione e al ritmo dei parlanti.
  2. Ripeti ad alta voce: Riavvolgi il video e prova a ripetere le frasi mentre le senti. Concentrati sulle differenze di pronuncia e cerca di imitare le espressioni vocali.
  3. Identifica le parti difficili: Prendi nota delle frasi che trovi più difficili. Potresti doversi fermare e praticare quelle parti ripetutamente.
  4. Utilizza la tecnica del “shadow speak”: Mentre il narratore parla, prova a sovrapporre la tua voce alla sua. Questo aiuta a migliorare la fluidità e la naturalezza del tuo parlato.
  5. Riflettici sopra: Dopo aver praticato, pensa a come le frasi possono essere utilizzate in contesti diversi. Prova a creare le tue frasi usando le strutture che hai appena imparato.

Utilizzando il metodo shadowspeak, puoi sviluppare le tue capacità linguistiche in modo efficace e divertente, trasformando ogni sessione di apprendimento in un’occasione per migliorare e crescere.

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.
