Hello to you and thanks for joining.
2
This is exciting, isn't it?
3
Eh?
4
Now, let me get you up to speed.
5
Previously in my life, my mother tried to marry me off.
6
Someone please marry my daughter.
7
I'm not asking for money.
8
I'm literally giving her away.
9
She was upset because I just told her how I blew my inheritance.
10
I bought a joke shop.
11
No, I love it, although I am worried that hiring my oldest friend to manage it was a mistake.
12
And that is how we will take this franchise global.
13
It's a bit much, isn't it?
14
I mean, we're just a little shop that sells.
15
Shut and submit.
16
And today I'm overexcited because apparently Gary Preston's back from his travels.
17
He's lovely.
18
But I always make a cock -up if I see him.
19
Well, there's never any cock -up involved, if you see what I mean.
20
Oh, how naughty!
21
Oh, but the last time I saw him...
22
Come on, I'm going to dance to this one.
23
Oh, OK.
24
OK.
25
Say nothing, we'll speak no more of, and let's crack on with the show.

73
Look at that.

It's all about the recovery, isn't it?
76
How could a man think a woman is a man?
77
I mean, I do have a penis, but that's chocolate.
78
Actually, that would look wrong in public, wouldn't it?
79
Hello, hey, it's Gary Preston.
80
OK, calm, I can pose myself.
81
Smile.
82
Miranda?
83
Hi, how are you?
84
You okay?
85
You look like you're in pain.
86
No, no, I'm fine.
87
It's just trap wind.
88
Oh, that's better.
89
So, Gary, what are you doing here?
90
Well, I work here.
91
I'm the new chef.
92
I started last week.
93
Oh, well, my shop's next door.
94
No way!
95
Oh, God, it's great to see you.
96
You've just been ages.
97
Mm.
98
Mm.
99
You've been eating chocolate?
100
Well, to be precise, it's actually co -co -co -coccolate.
101
So, um, how was Malaysia?
102
Yeah, great, great, good.
103
It's good to be back, though.
104
Really?
105
Yeah, well, you know, you can have too much fun.
106
I've got to come back and settle down, be sensible.
107
I joined the gym yesterday.
108
Oh, the one round the corner?
109
Yeah, did you go?
110
Loads.
111
Never.
112
Yeah, no, I'm really into keeping fit, Gary.
113
Great, great.
114

115
Gymnastics.

117
I'll work with that.
118
I am a gymnast, Gary.
119
Wow.
120
Wow, indeed, yeah.
121
I mainly do ribbons.
122
Do you know?
123
You might have seen me at the last Olympics, actually.
124
Although, having said that, I wasn't on telly much, cos you will have noticed that a lot of gymnasts are quite manly, have no curves or breasts.
125
That's one category, not mine.
126
I'm in the bustier section.
127
It's less televised.
128
Certainly in widescreen.
129
gymnasts bust is
130
the right right
131
good well I better get back to work no the new job

I just saw Gary.
197
He's working next door.
198
No way. And?
199
I told him I was an Olympic gymnast.
200
Why?
201
You know when you get nervous socially, you end up lying to impress.
202
Exactly, we all do it.
203
So what is going on in here?
204
They still haven't taken the baby stuff back, been on hold for over an hour.
205
I mean, listen to the whole music.
206
It's continuous, I'm going insane.
207
And we've had a double delivery of chocolate penai.
208
You've never known how to have fun.
209
Yeah, well, some of us like to focus on work.
210
Now get round here and help me tidy -tidy, please.
211
You can't get these in.
212
Before you put the lid on.
213
It's quite a nice sort of shock, though, isn't it?
214
Hello?
215
Sorry, did you need to scare you?
216
No, it's fine.
217
Gary, you remember Stevie?
218
Stevie, it's Gary.
219
Hello, sorry.
220
We thought you'd come out of Miranda's box.
221
Wow, you seem busy.
222
Things are obviously going well.
223
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
224
But, put simply, I am deeply successful.
225
Yeah, so look around.
226
So I'm a cop magnet.
227
Shoot me.
228
Look, I just popped in to ask...
229
Actually, you're not with anybody or married or anything at the moment.
230
Yeah, yeah, of course, yeah.
231
Oh, really?
232
Kids?
233
Yeah, we've got two.
234
There's Orlando.
235
Orlando and, er, Bloom.
236
You?
237
No, no, still single.
238
Me too.
239
You just said you were married?
240
Divorced now. And the kids?
241
Dead.
242
Really?
243
What happened?
244
They froze.
245
They froze to death, Gary.
246
It's a funny story, actually.
247
Well, not funny ha -ha, but funny in that it's almost unbelievable.
248
You see, we were on holiday in the Himalayas, a base camp of Everest, and they were just running around in the shorts and a T -shirt, and I kept saying, you know,
249
put your coat on, you'll catch your death.
250
And they did.
251
None of that's true, is it?
252
No.
253
you know
254
when you get nervous socially you end up lying to impress
255
no exactly we all do it right well I just wanted
256

OK, what would the girls do?
267
Shopping, of course.
268
Something to wear.
269
Yes, I will Trini and Susanna myself.
270
I couldn't do it with them because I'd have to punch them in the face.
271
I hate those kind of programmes.
272
Welcome to I'm OK, Your Old Bees.
273
I know what I'd do if I had one of those shows.
274
Erm, excuse me.
275
Hello.
276
Right, let's have a look at you.
277
Well, I wouldn't wear that top, but you look comfortable, are you?
278
Yeah.
279
Do you like it?
280
Yeah.
281
Do you care that others may not like it?
282
No. Brilliant.
283
Then wear that, then.
284
Bye.
285
Oh, come on.
286
This is going really well.
287
Er, where are you going?
288
I've got to get something to wear.
289
How often do I have a date?
290
Never.
291
It's my first one.
292
First one of the many others I have also had.
293
I thought you said it wasn't a date.
294
You said it was a thing.
295
That's code for date, isn't it?
296
Yeah, well, just don't scare Gary off, OK?
297
And you can help me before you go shopping.
298
We've had another delivery of baby stock, and the hen night stock's still not here.
299
And I'm not enjoying telling the delivery company we're still missing fluffy handcuffs and love eggs.
300
Degrading, so no shoppy -shoppy till you tidy -tidy, hmm?
301
I'm fairly sure that's racist.
302
I can see you.
303
That was your fault.
304
Get out.
305
Don't you want to achieve?
306
I always think big, and then I think small.
307
Heather small.
308
I ask myself, What have you done today to make you feel proud?
309
What are you going to say?
310
Fine, I'd say Heather, Heather Small.
311
You were excellent on Strictly Come Dancing.
312
Yeah, she was, wasn't she?
313
And today I helped my lovely little friend by putting their boxes away.
314
Thank you.
315
And not in the kitchen slash workstation slash break area slash my personal space.
316
Slash.
317
Good word.
318
Sorry.
319
Stevie, I wouldn't.
320
Good, because I wouldn't put them in your flat slash...
321
Slash.
322
...personal space.
323
No, exactly.
324
So I wouldn't do that to you.
325
Ooh!
326
Hi.
327
Ah, um, forgot to say earlier, I'm just going to the baby shop to get a present for Cousin Georgina's christening tomorrow.
328
Very antisocial to have it on a, what I call, weekday.
329
It is a weekday.
330
It's not just what you call a weekday.
331
It is a weekday.
332
I mean, that is such an annoying what I call phrase.
333
Shall I get you something to give them?
334
I didn't even know there was a christening.
335
I don't know what I'm going to get them.
336
Such an ugly baby.
337
Your father suggested a balaclava.
338
Such fun.
339
Right, well, I must dash.
340
I'm off to meet someone for a spot of what I call tea.
341
It is tea.
342
It just is tea.
343
Stevie, I've tidy -tidied.
344
Ted.
345
Right, clothes shops.
346
I've been to big and long, nothing.
347
Just because people are taller or bigger than average, why do we have to shop in patronisingly named places?
348
What's next?
349
Lanky and sweaty.
350
Swallowers and Amazonians.
351
Huge and gross.
352
Just a 48 chest.
353
Shoes to 14.
354
Big sizes for one.
355
It's perfect.
356
Hi.
357
Hi.
358
How can we help you?
359
Well, I'm looking for something flattering for me and really feminine because, um, this might sound ridiculous, but I often get called Sir.
360
I know.
361
Embarrassing.
362
And I'm going out tonight, and I really don't want it to happen then.
363
I hear you.
364
Right.
365
Let's have a look at you, shall we?
366
Well, you're naturally very feminine.
367
You're lucky, shapely, lady -like curves. And, um...
368
It has for...
369
It's for these.
370
Astonishing.
371
I've seen quite a few in my time, and these are frankly something else.
372
Thank you.
373
Nice hair.
374
Where'd you get it?
375
My father's side.
376
Oh, haven't heard of them.
377
It's not going to take much.
378
Heads will turn, and not in a pointing and staring way.
379
No, I always knew I could pull it off, but I just didn't know what clothes would suit me best, you know?
380
Well, there's no point wearing jeans and T -shirt, is there?
381
Might as well be a man.
382
Well, let's sort you out for tonight, young lady.
383
Lady?
384
Stevie, I've got an outfit.
385
Are you ready?
386
Just give me a second.
387
so how do I look oh sorry I didn't realize we
388
had anyone here this is no problem Wow can I just say you look gorgeous oh thank you it's amazing so Feminine.
389
Oh, stop it.
390
Seriously.
391
I mean, you could pass.
392
Really?
393
Pass?
394
Brilliant.
395
I passed.
396
Oh, Miranda, why are you dressed as a transvestite?
397
I'm so sorry.
398
I thought that you...
399
Just get up, please.
400
You know, don't worry Didn't he just say that you looked, um You look gorgeous and feminine As a man,
401
Stevie For a man, he thought I was gorgeous and feminine A man A man Are you laughing?
402
No, there is nothing funny here
403

404
hi hi um did we say it was fancy dress tonight
405
no this isn't fancy yes it is fancy dress um i
406
was just trying on our new range of Transvestite costumes how does that help I don't know I'm panicking you're panicking
407
It'll all be fine just be yourself what an appalling piece of advice
408
So shall I come back no no two seconds I'll just get changed Okay.
409
Oh, Miranda, I cannot believe you filled my personal space.
410
This is not the time.
411
That's not what it sounds.
412
I'll be, um, two seconds.
413
I'll just...
414
I'll just get changé.
415
And how did you end up being a chef?
416
Just picked it up when I was travelling, really, worked in lots of restaurants and, yeah, I really got into it.
417
I think I've finally found what I want to do.
418
Well, that's great.
419
Your parents must be pleased you're back.
420
How's your mum?
421
Oh, still frantically trying to find me a wife.
422
My mother's the same.
423
What, trying to find you a wife?
424
Finding me a wife.
425
But just to be clear, she wants me to find a husband because I am a woman.
426
Right.
427
Exactly.
428
And it's not just marriage, it's like the desperation to have kids.
429
I know.
430
I mean, I just don't have that desperate urge to breed, you know?
431
I'm up here.
432
If we did have that desperate urge to breed, we could, er...
433
Why?
434
He's gone up.
435
I mean, the number of women who turn 30 and suddenly they're just obsessed with babies.
436
I know.
437
I mean, it's so boring.
438
I mean, I'd say I had a fairly normal, healthy interest in children, but, um...
439
Well, it's getting late.
440
Bye.
441
You ruined my chances last night.
442
Turns out a flat full of baby stock isn't an aphrodisiac.
443
Gary was in your flat?
444
What, was he lost?
445
Oh, sorry.
446
I just didn't think he'd come back.
447
And you shouldn't have put it all in my personal space.
448
Oh, I'm sorry.
449
Well, everything seems tidy -tidy in here now.
450
Well, they've finally picked up the extra penile.
451
And I've had a call from the baby shop.
452
That stuff upstairs is theirs, and they've got our hen night stuff.
453
Miranda, you are in a street with some very dodgy businesses.
454
That baby shop.
455
I've just come from the christening.
456
Marjorie gave a silver -encrusted rattle, Victoria an engraved mug.
457
I presented what I thought was a lovely toy rabbit.
458
Turns out it was a battery -operated rabbit...
459
..toy.
460
Worst thing was, the baby loved it.
461
Couldn't prize it off him.
462
It was absolutely what I call mortifying.
463
What are you doing?
464
I'm being nonchalant for Gary.
465
Good luck.
466
Miranda?
467
Oh, hello, Gary.
468
Oh, that's weird seeing you here.
469
I work here.
470
I mean, isn't that weird?
471
All the restaurants I could have just popped into and here you are.
472
But I work here and you know...
473
It's all just very weird.
474
Um, look, I was going to come and see you later anyway.
475
I should apologise about last night.
476
I shouldn't have stormed off without you explaining everything.
477
Well, you see, there was a stock mix.
478
No, no, no, you don't need to.
479
You don't need to explain.
480
But you do need to let me take you out for a drink later.
481
OK.
482
Great, great.
483
Was there anything else?
484
Did you want to order some food? do you do wedding cakes
485
that was just a joke that was
486
that was the worst kind of joke I could have made you know I'm not into all that stuff
487

Cosa imparerai con questo video
Questo clip è perfetto per esercitare due abilità cruciali nella pratica di conversazione in inglese: la gestione dell'imbarazzo e l'uso del linguaggio colloquiale. La protagonista, Miranda, affronta situazioni imbarazzanti (come essere chiamata "sir") con ironia, insegnando come esprimere disagio in modo naturale. Inoltre, il dialogo è ricco di espressioni informali come "cockup" (sbaglio) o "shirk" (fuggire dal lavoro), utili per capire il linguaggio quotidiano. Ideale per chi vuole imparare l'inglese con i video in contesti reali.
Ascolta questi suoni
Nel dialogo, noterai numerose esempi di connected speech (parola collegata) e riduzioni. Ad esempio, "I'm not asking for money" diventa "I'm not askin' for money" (la "g" finale di "asking" si scompare). Oppure "got to" si riduce a "gotta" in "gotta slow it down". Questi dettagli rendono il discorso più fluido e sono essenziali per migliorare la pronuncia inglese. Ascolta anche come "what's up with you" viene pronunciato velocemente, con "what's up" che si fonde in un unico suono.
Parla come un madrelingua
Per imitare il ritmo e l'accento dei personaggi, usa la tecnica del shadowspeak (o shadow speak): ascolta una frase, pausa e ripetila immediatamente, cercando di seguire la stessa intonazione e la stessa velocità. Nota come Miranda enfatizza le parole chiave in frasi come "He just called me sir!" (l'enfasi su "just" e "sir" trasmette sorpresa). Inoltre, la comicità del dialogo dipende dalla pausa: ad esempio, dopo "He looked straight at me, still thought sir was the right option" c'è una pausa che aumenta l'effetto umoristico. Ripetendo queste frasi, migliorerai non solo la pronuncia ma anche la capacità di comunicare emozioni attraverso il tono.
- Pratichi il shadowspeak con le scene più veloci, come il dialogo tra Miranda e Stevie sul "chocolate penises".
- Analizza l'intonazione in frasi ironiche, come "Work, not shirk" (l'accento su "work" e "shirk" crea un contrasto).
Con questo video, la pratica di conversazione in inglese diventa divertente e efficace: non solo impari a capire il linguaggio colloquiale, ma anche a esprimerti con naturalezza. Prova a ripetere le frasi più difficili e noterai progressi veloci!
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.
