5
You now have 45 seconds to look at the questions for part 2.
6
Now we are ready to start.
7
listen carefully you will hear the recording twice how did you feel
8
when you first started working on basil the bee well at the start i thought it wouldn't take much time
9
because it was a cartoon yeah but i suppose
10
that even a simple story is a bit of a challenge i mean
11
when you're trying to decide what's going to happen in it
12
you spend longer than you realize Is the character you give a voice to, Basil the Bee, like you in any way?
13
I think maybe in appearance.
14
He does look like me, I suppose, although his head is rounder than mine.
15
But he wasn't supposed to look like me.
16
That wasn't the plan.
17
The team of artists just designed a face that we all enjoyed looking at.
18
We felt that he was cute and a bit funny.
19
How did your family feel about hearing your voice in a cartoon?
20
I'm not exactly sure about my children.
21
The little one doesn't recognise it as me, but she loves bees.
22
She always insists on seeing the DVD of Basil before she goes off to bed at night.
23
Did you expect it to be so popular with children?
24
Well, during the time we were making it,
25
I occasionally showed my children and some of their friends little parts of it on the computer.
26
They'd go crazy and watch it over and over again.
27
It's so funny.
28
There's nothing more fun than entertaining children, but I never intended it as a movie specially aimed at them or teenagers.
29
I just wanted to make it as funny as I could.
30
Why do you think that so many people see bees as good bugs?
31
I think they have a complicated society, which is very scientific, and the organisation to produce honey,
32
which of course is the whole idea, like what their life is for, is about making honey.
33
So, we see them as almost human in their behaviour Doing a job,
34
getting on with life, and so on And you yourself, do you feel you care more about bees than you used to?
35
Bees are the bugs I've always preferred Apart from that,
36
I'm not a great fan of bugs on the whole With bees,
37
they live like we might do one day They fly around so fast, each with his or her own little flying machine.
38
They visit flowers which are beautiful and they create something delicious.
39
Somehow, I feel they're a quite different creature from other bugs.
40

Perché questo video è ottimo per la pratica dell'inglese?
Se stai cercando un modo divertente per migliorare la tua pronuncia e la comprensione orale, questo video è perfetto! La conversazione tra l'intervistatore e Joel Jones, l'attore e autore di "Basil the Bee", è ricca di espressioni colloquiali e un tono naturale, ideali per esercitarti a "shadoware" (ripetere immediatamente dopo l'audio). È un materiale pratico per chi è a livello A2, perché le frasi sono semplici ma realistiche, e ti aiuta a capire come le parole sono pronunciate in contesti reali. Inoltre, parla di un argomento accattivante come i cartoni animati, quindi non ti annoierai mentre pratichi!
Analizziamo le frasi chiave
Ecco tre frasi dal video che dimostrano come l'inglese colloquiale suoni naturale:
- "Well at the start I thought it wouldn't take much time because it was a cartoon": La parola "well" è spesso usata per iniziare una frase in modo informale, come "beh" in italiano. La struttura "it wouldn't take much time" è semplice ma efficace, e la congiunzione "because" collega le idee in modo logico. Ripetendo questa frase, impari a usare espressioni per parlare di aspettative iniziali.
- "He does look like me, I suppose, although his head is rounder than mine": "I suppose" (credo) è una frase che softena l'affermazione, tipica del linguaggio quotidiano. "Although" introduce una contraddizione, e "rounder than mine" usa il comparativo in modo corretto. Questa frase ti insegna a esprimere somiglianze e differenze in modo naturale.
- "She always insists on seeing the DVD of Basil before she goes off to bed": "Insists on seeing" (insiste per vedere) è un verbo + preposizione + gerundio, una struttura molto comune. "Before she goes off to bed" (prima di andare a letto) è una frase idiomatica che sostituisce "before she sleeps". Ripetendola, migliori la tua capacità di usare espressioni per parlare di abitudini.
Una routine di pratica semplice: shadowing
Il shadowing è un metodo efficace per migliorare la pronuncia e la fluidità. Ecco come usarlo con questo video:
- Guarda il video una volta per capire il contesto.
- Ricomincia e metti in pausa dopo ogni frase (o dopo ogni 5-10 secondi).
- Ripeti immediatamente la frase, cercando di imitare l'intonazione, la velocità e la pronuncia di Joel. Usa un shadowing site o un'app per registrare la tua voce e confrontarla con l'originale: così noterai i differenze e potrai correggerti.
- Ripeti l'esercizio per 10-15 minuti al giorno: con il tempo, noterai che le frasi ti vengono più naturalmente e la tua confidenza nella pratica di conversazione in inglese aumenterà.
Non dimenticare che l'obiettivo è non solo imparare le parole, ma anche a parlare come un madrelingua. Con questo video e un po' di pratica, migliorerai senza sforzo! E se vuoi approfondire, cerca altri video per imparare l'inglese e continua a "shadoware": il risultato arriverà prima di quanto pensi.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | society, which is · flowers which are |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | I've always preferred |
| Comparativi -er than / more … than — confrontare due cose | longer than · rounder than · more fun than |
| Verbo + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — i verbi seguiti dalla forma in -ing | started working · enjoyed looking |
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.
