Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Chapter 9 Advice from a Caterpillar
2
At last the caterpillar spoke to Alice.
3
Who are you?
4
He asked in a sleepy voice.
5
This was not the best way to start a conversation.
6
Alice replied rather shyly.
7
I hardly know, sir.
8
At least, I know who I was when I got up this morning.
9
But I've changed several times since then.
10
What do you mean by that?
11
Explain yourself.
12
The caterpillar said.
13
Alice tried to be polite even though the caterpillar seemed rather rude.
14
I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly, sir.
15
Being so many different sizes in one day is confusing.
16
No, it isn't.
17
Perhaps you haven't had the chance to find that out yet, Alice said.
18
When you change into a butterfly,
19
you'll probably feel quite strange.
20
I will not, the caterpillar said.
21
You may feel differently than I do,
22
Alice said, still trying to be polite.
23
But turning into a butterfly would feel very strange to me.
24
You!
25
The caterpillar's voice was full of scorn.
26
Who are you?
27
And that brought them right back to the beginning of their conversation.
28
Alice felt annoyed by the caterpillar's remarks.
29
She stood as tall as she could and looked straight at him.
30
I think you should tell me who you are first.
31
Why?
32
This was another puzzling question that Alice couldn't answer.
33
The caterpillar was in such a bad mood that she wanted to leave.
34
She started to walk away.
35
Come back!
36
The caterpillar called after her.
37
I have something important to say.
38
This sounded interesting, so Alice walked back to the mushroom and waited for him to speak.
39
Don't lose your temper, the caterpillar said.
40
Is that all?
41
Alice couldn't believe how angry he made her feel.
42
No. For a few minutes,
43
the caterpillar sat silently, ignoring Alice.
44
She was going to leave,
45
but she really had nothing else to do.
46
So she decided to wait.
47
Perhaps the caterpillar would have something interesting to say after all.
48
Finally, he spoke to her again.
49
So, you think you've changed?
50
Oh, yes, Alice said, happy that he was listening at last.
51
First I'm bigger, and then I'm smaller.
52
I don't stay the same size for more than a few minutes.
53
The caterpillar looked Alice up and down.
54
What size do you want to be?
55
I don't really care.
56
I just don't like changing so often, you know?
57
No, I don't know, the caterpillar replied.
58
Alice said nothing.
59
She never met such a disagreeable creature,
60
and she was losing her temper.
61
The caterpillar interrupted her thoughts.
62
Are you happy now?
63
I'd like to be larger because three inches is such a horrible size.
64
Three inches is the perfect height.
65
The caterpillar stretched upright as he spoke,
66
showing that he was exactly three inches high.
67
But I'm not used to it, Alice moaned.
68
You get used to it in time, said the caterpillar.
69
Alice waited, hoping the caterpillar would say something more.
70
Eventually, he yawned twice and shook himself.
71
Then he got down from the mushroom.
72
One side makes you grow taller,
73
the caterpillar said, crawling through the grass.
74
And the other side makes you smaller.
75
Alice wondered what in the world he was talking about.
76
One side of what?
77
The other side of what?
78
She thought.
79
Of the mushroom.
80
The caterpillar replied as if Alice had asked her questions aloud.
81
And in another moment, he was out of sight.
82
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Chapter 10 Eating the Mushroom
83
The caterpillar had said that one side of the mushroom would make Alice grow.
84
The other side would make her shrink.
85
Then he disappeared before Alice could ask any questions.
86
Alice studied the mushroom.
87
How am I supposed to know which side does which?
88
The mushroom cap is round,
89
so it doesn't have a left side or a right side.
90
There was only one way to find out out Alice stretched her arms around the mushroom
91
and broke off a piece with each hand but
92
which piece makes me grow Alice looked from one hand to
93
the other she finally decided to try the piece in her
94
right hand the next moment her chin hit something hard it was her foot Alice was frightened
95
but she managed to try the mushroom piece in her left
96
hand that's better Alice said as her head started to rise
97
but her delight changed to panic when she couldn't see her shoulders
98
when she looked down all she saw were her long neck
99
and some green leaves she didn't realize those were the tops of trees where have my hands gone Alice asked.
100
She couldn't see them below the leaves,
101
so she bent her neck.
102
My neck is so flexible!
103
It's almost like being a serpent.
104
Alice exclaimed in surprise as a bird flew at her face.
105
Serpent!
106
The pigeon screamed.
107
I'm not a serpent!
108
Alice said angrily.
109
Leave me alone!
110
No matter where I make my nest, serpents bother me!
111
The pigeon sounded angry.
112
Night and day I must be on the lookout for serpents.
113
I haven't slept in three weeks!
114
I'm very sorry that you've been annoyed by serpents, Alice began.
115
But...
116
I made my nest in the tallest tree,
117
thinking I'd be free of the serpents, the pigeons said.
118
But then you came wriggling down from the sky.
119
Go away, serpent!
120
I'm not a serpent, Alice said.
121
I'm a...
122
I mean, I'm a...
123
Well, what are you?
124
The pigeon demanded.
125
What are you trying to say?
126
I...
127
I'm a little girl, Alice finally said.
128
She'd undergone so many changes,
129
she wasn't sure what she was anymore.
130
I've seen lots of little girls,
131
but never one with such a long neck.
132
The pigeon looked at her skeptically.
133
No, you're a serpent, and you can't deny it.
134
Next you'll be telling me that you've never eaten an egg.
135
I have eaten an egg.
136
Alice admitted, for she was a truthful child.
137
Little girls eat eggs as often as serpents do.
138
I don't believe that, the pigeon said firmly.
139
And whether you're a girl or a serpent, you're looking for eggs.
140
I'm not looking for eggs.
141
But if I were looking for them, I wouldn't want yours.
142
Alice stamped her foot and the ground shook.
143
I don't like raw eggs.
144
Then go away!
145
The pigeon still sounded angry as she settled into her nest again.
146
Alice tried to crouch among the trees,
147
but her neck kept getting tangled in branches.
148
I need to get back to my original size, she said to herself.
149
Slowly and carefully, Alice nibbled from one piece of mushroom and then the other.
150
At last, she was the correct size.
151
That's much better, Alice said as she began to walk through the woods.
152
Suddenly, she came upon a space surrounding a house about four feet high.
153
I don't know who lives there, Alice said.
154
But they're sure to be smaller than I am,
155
and I'll frighten them at this size.
156
So Alice ate some more from the mushroom until she was only nine inches high.

158
Chapter 11.
159
Pepper and Pig.
160
Alice stood outside the house,
161
unsure what to do next.
162
Suddenly, a footman in uniform ran out of the woods.
163
The footman had a face like a fish.
164
He knocked on the door,
165
which was answered by another footman.
166
This one had a round face and eyes like a frog.
167
Alice noticed that both wore curly powdered wigs.
168
I wonder what's going to happen.
169
Alice crept closer so she could listen.
170
The fish footman was holding a letter almost as big as himself.
171
He handed it to the frog footman.
172
From the Queen, the fish footman said.
173
An invitation for the duchess to play croquet.
174
This must be the duchess's house, Alice said to herself.
175
I wonder if she's the duchess that the white rabbit was talking about.
176
The two footmen bowed low, tangling their curls together.
177
Alice laughed so hard that she ran into the woods so they wouldn't hear her When she peeped out again,
178
the fish footman was gone The frog footman was sitting on the ground staring at the sky
179
Alice went to the door of the house and knocked quietly.
180
There's no point in knocking, the frog footman said.
181
First, I'm out here with you so I can't open the door.
182
Second, they're making so much noise inside,
183
no one can hear you.
184
Alice put her ear on the door to listen.
185
The frog footman was right.
186
There was a constant howling and sneezing.
187
Every once in a while came a great crash.
188
That sounds like dishes breaking,
189
Alice said to the frog footman.
190
But how will I get inside?
191
The frog footman had no idea.
192
I'm gonna sit out here all day, he said.
193
Just then the door opened,
194
and a plate flew outside.
195
It almost hit the frog footman before smashing against a tree.
196
He continued to sit as if nothing had happened.
197
Or maybe I'll sit here until tomorrow, he said quietly.
198
Alice decided to open the door herself.
199
The door led right into the kitchen,
200
which was full of smoke.
201
The Duchess sat on a stool, feeding a baby.
202
The cook was leaning over the fire,
203
stirring a pot of soup.
204
Alice began to sneeze.
205
There's too much pepper in that soup, she cried.
206
The baby took turns sneezing and howling.
207
The Duchess sneezed once in a while,
208
but the cook didn't sneeze at all.
209
A cat was lying on the hearth and grinning from ear to ear.
210
It didn't sneeze either.
211
I've never seen a cat grin like that, Alice said.
212
Then you haven't been paying attention, The duchess said.
213
All cats know how to grin,
214
but this Cheshire cat is especially good at it.
215
The duchess said this last word so loudly that Alice jumped.
216
Then she realized the duchess was speaking to the baby.
217
The baby had tiny eyes and a nose like a snout.
218
Before Alice could say a word,
219
the cook started throwing things.
220
Watch what you're doing, Alice said.
221
You're going to hurt the baby.
222
The duchess tossed the baby to Alice.
223
Here, you can feed the baby if you like.
224
I must get ready to play croquet with the queen.
225
And with that, the duchess hurried from the room.
226
Alice tried to hold on to the wiggling baby while the Cheshire cats simply grinned.

- Fermati e analizza: Dopo ogni frase, fermati e rifletti sul significato. Cosa sta cercando di comunicare Alice? Come risponde il bruco?
- Pratica la variazione: Cambia le frasi e prova a costruire le tue. Ad esempio, come potresti rispondere alla domanda "Chi sei?" in un contesto diverso?
- Registra e riascolta: Prova a registrarti mentre esegui il shadowing. Riascoltati per individuare aree di miglioramento nella tua pronuncia e fluidità.
Utilizzando queste tecniche, potrai imparare l'inglese con youtube in modo più efficace, migliorando non solo la tua comprensione orale, ma anche la capacità di comunicare fluidamente.
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.
