Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 18, More Croquet and Creatures.
2
Alice followed the queen back to the croquet game.
3
The players were taking a break and resting in the shade.
4
As soon as they spotted the queen,
5
they leaped to their feet.
6
Why were you lying down, you lazy things?
7
The queen demanded Start playing again at once I'm warning you,
8
a moment's delay will cost you your life The players quickly followed the queen's orders,
9
but she still wasn't happy She kept shouting Off with his head!
10
Off with her head!
11
Every time the queen shouted,
12
a soldier took someone to prison.
13
The prison must be filling up, Alice thought.
14
And we're losing wickets again, too.
15
The soldiers had to stop being the wickets to follow the queen's orders.
16
Soon there were no wickets,
17
and all the players were in jail.
18
That is, all the players except the king, the queen, and Alice.
19
There's nobody left for her to punish except the king and me, Alice thought.
20
But the queen had finished sentencing people to death.
21
Out of breath, she turned to Alice.
22
Have you seen the mock turtle today?
23
The queen asked.
24
I've never seen one in my life, Alice said.
25
Come with me, the queen said.
26
We'll find him, and he'll tell you his story.
27
As they walked away, Alice heard the king talking to himself.
28
I'm going to the prison to pardon everyone, he said.
29
Well, that's good, Alice thought.
30
Alice and the queen soon saw a strange winged creature sleeping in the sun.
31
The animal had the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion.
32
Oh, that's a griffon, Alice exclaimed.
33
I never thought I'd see one in real life.
34
The creature moved but didn't wake up.
35
The queen took care of that.
36
Get up right now, the queen bellowed.
37
Take this young lady to see the Mock Turtle and hear his story.
38
I must go and check on my prisoners.
39
As the queen walked away,
40
the griffon sat up and rubbed his eyes.
41
He watched the Queen until she was out of sight.
42
Alice was a little afraid of this odd animal.
43
But I guess I'm safer with him than with the Queen, she thought.
44
The Queen is always so amusing,
45
the Griffon said as he got to his feet.
46
The Executioner never cuts off anyone's head, you know.
47
It's all in her imagination.
48
Let's go!
49
Alice was glad that no one was ever put to death.
50
But she was annoyed that yet another creature was telling her what to do.
51
They had not walked far before they spotted the mock turtle sitting on a rock.
52
As they approached, Alice could hear him sighing and sobbing.
53
What's wrong with him?
54
Alice whispered.
55
Nothing, the griffon said.
56
His problems are all in his imagination.
57
The mock turtle looked at them with eyes full of tears.
58
This young lady wants to know your story, the griffon said.
59
The mock turtle nodded.
60
Sit down and don't say a word until I've finished.
61
So Alice and the griffon sat down.
62
They waited and waited for the Mock Turtle to speak.
63
If he's ever going to finish,
64
he needs to begin, Alice thought.
65
At last, the Mock Turtle started his story,
66
which was mostly about his lessons at school.
67
Once he began, he went on and on.
68
That's enough about lessons.
69
The griffon finally interrupted in a firm voice.
70
Tell Alice about the lobster dance.
71
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 19, The Lobster Dance.
72
The Mock Turtle sighed deeply and wiped his eyes with his slippers.
73
He looked at Alice and tried to speak,
74
but he started sobbing instead.
75
Don't worry, the griffon said to Alice.
76
He's always like this.
77
The mock turtle soon recovered and began to explain the lobster dance.
78
You probably haven't ever lived under the sea.
79
No, I haven't, Alice said.
80
And perhaps you've never been introduced to a lobster.
81
Alice started to say that she had eaten a lobster, but stopped.
82
So you don't know how delightful a lobster dance is?
83
The Mock Turtle said.
84
Alice shook her head.
85
No, I don't.
86
The griffon joined the conversation.
87
First, you stand in a line along the seashore.
88
Two lines!
89
The Mock Turtle corrected him.
90
Then, after you've cleared all the jellyfish out of the way...
91
That usually takes some time, the griffin interrupted.
92
You take two steps forward with a lobster as a partner, the griffin said.
93
Of course, the mock turtle said.
94
You step forward twice, face your partner, and...
95
Change lobsters, the griffin said.
96
Then, you throw the lobsters.
97
As far out to sea as you can, the Mock Turtle said.
98
And swim after them, the Griffin said.
99
Then do a summer salt in the sea.
100
The Mock Turtle danced wildly about.
101
And change lobsters again, the Griffin yelled at the top of his lungs.
102
Go back to land again, the Mock Turtle said.
103
And the first part of the dance is over.
104
Both creatures had been jumping around while they described the dance.
105
Now they sat down and looked at Alice.
106
She wasn't sure how to react.
107
It must be a very pretty dance, she finally said.
108
Would you like to see some of it?
109
The mock turtle asked.
110
Oh, yes!
111
We can do the first part without lobsters.
112
The mock turtle said to the griffin.
113
Do you want to sing?
114
You should sing, because I've forgotten the words.
115
The griffon replied.
116
So the mock turtle sang about a snail doing the lobster dance.
117
Where you want you, where you want you,
118
where you want you, join the dance.
119
The two creatures began to dance around Alice,
120
sometimes stepping on her feet by mistake.
121
When they finished dancing, Alice clapped.
122
Now we want to hear about some of your adventures, the griffon said.
123
He and the mock turtle sat on either side of Alice.
124
Well, if you're sure you want to hear my story.
125
First, I chased the white rabbit and fell down the rabbit hole, she began.
126
By the time she told them about meeting the caterpillar, they looked bored.
127
That's enough of your story, the griffin said.
128
But I'm not at the end, Alice said.
129
Once again she thought how rude everyone was.
130
Let's try more of the lobster dance, the griffin said.
131
He turned to Alice.
132
Or would you like the mock turtle to sing another song?
133
Another song, please, Alice replied so quickly that the griffin frowned.
134
Well.
135
He sniffed.
136
That's not what I'd have chosen.
137
But if that's what you want.
138
The griffin looked at the mock turtle.
139
Sing turtle soup for her, old fellow.
140
The mock turtle sighed and began to sing a song in a voice choked with sobs.
141
He was interrupted by a voice calling.
142
The trial's beginning.
143
Come on, the griffon cried.
144
Without waiting for the mock turtle,
145
he grabbed Alice by the hand and ran off.
146
Whose trial is it?
147
Alice asked.
148
But the griffon only repeated.
149
Come on!
150
And ran faster.
151
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
152
Chapter 20.
153
The Trial Begins.
154
The End
155
Alice said to the griffon as they sat down.
156
Oh, look!
157
There's the white rabbit!
158
The white rabbit seemed to be a court official.
159
Holding a trumpet in one hand,
160
he clutched a scroll of paper in the other.
161
Alice noticed a dish of tarts on a table.
162
Those tarts are making me hungry,
163
she said to the griffon.
164
I wish this trial was over so we could eat them.
165
That won't happen for quite a while, the griffin replied.
166
Alice looked around the room.
167
Although she'd never been in a courtroom before, she'd read about trials.
168
The king is wearing a long wig,
169
so he's the judge, she said to herself.
170
And over there is the jury box,
171
and those twelve creatures are the jurors.
172
The jurors were busy writing on slates.
173
What are they doing?
174
Alice whispered to the griffon.
175
The trial hasn't started, so there's nothing for them to write down.
176
They're writing their names.
177
They don't want to forget their names before the end of the trial.
178
What?
179
Alice said in a loud voice.
180
Stupid creatures!
181
She stopped talking because the white rabbit cried.
182
Silence in the court!
183
The king put on his glasses and looked around to see who was still talking.
184
Alice stayed quiet.
185
From her seat, she could see the drawers writing.
186
Stupid creatures!
187
Their slates will be full before the trial starts, Alice thought.
188
White Rabbit, tell us what the prisoner is accused of.
189
The king said.
190
The white rabbit blew three blasts on his trumpet.
191
Then he unrolled his scroll and began to read.
192
The queen of hearts, she made some tarts all on a summer day.
193
The knave of hearts, he stole those tarts and took them quite away.
194
What is your verdict?
195
The king asked the jury.
196
Not yet, the white rabbit said.
197
We need to hear from the witnesses.
198
Call the first witness, the king said.
199
The white rabbit blew three more blasts on his trumpet.
200
First witness, he called.
201
The first witness was the hatter.
202
He arrived with a teacup in one hand.
203
He held bread and butter in the other.
204
I beg your pardon for bringing these, your majesty, he said.
205
But I hadn't quite finished my tea when I was sent for.
206
You should have finished your tea, the king said.
207
When did you begin drinking it?
208
The hatter looked at the march hare and the doormouse,
209
who had followed him in.
210
I think it was March 14th, the hatter said.
211
15th, the March Hare corrected him.
212
16th, the doormouth said.
213
Write that down, the king said to the jury.
214
The creatures in the jury box eagerly wrote down all three dates.
215
Then they added them together and divided by five.
216
Meanwhile, the queen put on her glasses.
217
She stared at the hatter, who turned pale.
218
Tell your story, and don't be nervous,
219
the king said to the hatter.
220
Or I'll have your head cut off.
221
This didn't help the hatter.
222
He nervously took a bite from his teacup instead of his bread.
223
Just then, Alice felt a strange sensation.
224
What's going on? she thought.
225
But then she realized what was happening.
226
I'm growing again, and I haven't even eaten a bite of those tarts!
227
Thank you.

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.
