1
The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats.
2
Deep in a lush green forest lived a wolf who was always hungry.
3
This wolf ate so much, but he never felt full.
4
He wandered the forest, day and night, chasing food.
5
Sometimes he couldn't catch the food he really wanted.
6
At such times, he'd go to his den and howl, Should I chew on stones from hunger?
7
The wolf's neighbor, the hyena, was smarter than the wolf.
8
Without tiring or running, he caught his prey using traps.
9
Though the wolf admired him, he wasn't smart enough to set traps.
10
One day he went to the hyena to join his rich feast.
11
But the hyena was just as sly and greedy as the wolf.
12
He said, I'd love to host you wolf brother, but I must eat first.
13
There's only enough for me, and made him wait outside.
14
From that day the wolf got determined.
15
I must get smarter and learn to trap or I'll starve.
16
A few days later, the hungry wolf left his den and discovered a cottage in the forest.
17
He was very curious about who lived there.
18
He quietly approached the cottage.
19
To avoid being seen, he peeked through the trees and watched the cottage carefully.
20
Inside lived a mother goat and her seven kids happily.
21
One kid was jumping on the hay.
22
Two kids were playing with a ball.
23
Two were swinging and the other two were picking flowers.
24
The mother goat was baking a pie in the kitchen.
25
The wolf was so hungry that his mouth watered at the sight.
26
Thinking he found food for a whole week, he smiled with delight.
27
He was just about to pounce and gobble them all up when he paused.
28
He thought it was the perfect time to set a trap, just like his clever neighbor the hyena.
29
The wolf hid all night, watching the cottage and making plans.
30
When the sun rose in the morning, the mother goat, unaware of anything, kissed her kids and was about to leave.
31
But before leaving, she warned them about the dangerous wolf in the forest.
32
She said, I'm going to the market, my little goats.
33
Be careful and don't open the door to anyone.
34
Remember what I taught you.
35
While the mother goat gave strict warnings for their safety, the kids listened carefully and then said goodbye.
36
The mother goat took her basket and left the house.
37
The little goat started playing inside the house.
38
The sneaky wolf, seeing the mother goat leave, jumped at the opportunity.
39
Now he had a plan to make the little goats open the door easily.
40
If he disguised himself as their mother, they might be fooled and open the door.
41
The wolf picked a dress from the laundry drying in a nearby yard.
42
He quickly put it on and walked away.
43
When the homeowner went to collect the laundry, they were surprised to find one dress missing.
44
Who in the forest would take a dress for someone as tall as me?
45
Of course it never occurred to them that a wolf might have taken it.
46
The hungry wolf broke two carob pods off a tree branch and wore them like a goat.
47
He laughed and said to himself, if they open the door, there's no reason they won't think I'm their mother.
48
A farmer came to collect the carob pods and was surprised to see broken branches and missing pods.
49
Who could damage a goat horn tree like this in the middle of the forest, he wondered.
50
Of course he never thought a wolf might be responsible.
51
Even in disguise, the wolf ran quickly to the cottage door.
52
He knocked on the door.
53
The kids, expecting only their mother, got excited and rushed to the door.
54
One wanted to open the door right away, but another stopped them.
55
We must first find out who it is before we open the door, one of the little goats said.
56
Then one of the little goats called out, Who is it?
57
The wolf was about to answer in his own voice, but paused.
58
He reminded himself to stick to the plan and answered in a high-pitched goat-like voice.
59
It's me, your mother.
60
Come on, open the door.
61
One of the kids cheered, It's our mother, hooray!
62
But another warned, But our mother's feet aren't black.
63
Look, these feet are pitch black.
64
Indeed, the feet visible under the door were pitch black.
65
One little goat said, Our mother has white feet.
66
Yours are black.
67
You are not our mother.
68
Realizing the kids didn't believe him, the wolf ran to a bakery.
69
He poured a whole sack of flour over his feet.
70
Now his feet were white like the goat's, and he ran back to the cottage.
71
The baker was shocked to see an empty flour sack in front of his shop.
72
Who would come to my bakery and waste a whole sack of flour, he thought.
73
Of course, he never imagined a wolf could be behind it.
74
Meanwhile, the wolf knocked on the goat's door again.
75
The little goats asked, Who is it?
76
In a gentle voice like the mother goats, he said, It's me, your mother.
77
Open the door.
78
Hearing the soft voice and seeing the white feet under the door, they thought it was truly their mother.
79
One of them cheered, Hooray!
80
Our mother, she's here!
81
And opened the door.
82
At first, the visitor looked like their mother, but within seconds they realized it was the hungry, dangerous wolf.
83
And it was too late.
84
The moment the door opened, the wolf burst into the cottage.
85
The little goats screamed, Help!
86
It's a wolf!
87
Help us!
88
and scattered everywhere.
89
One hid under the table.
90
Another crawled into the bed.
91
A third hid in the corner of the closet.
92
The fourth climbed into the stove.
93
The fifth ran into the kitchen.
94
The sixth hid behind the curtain.
95
And the seventh goat hid inside the big clock on the wall.
96
But the clever wolf moved quickly and caught them one by one from their hiding spots.
97
Only the seventh one inside the clock was not found.
98
Thinking, this many goats will surely fill me up, he carried them in a big sack to his dark den.
99
The hyena was very surprised to see the wolf with a huge sack full of goats.
100
Wow, how did you manage to hunt like that?
101
He asked.
102
The wolf smugly replied, I used my brain and set a trap and laughed.
103
The hyena said he wanted to visit the wolf as a guest, but the wolf replied, It's my mealtime now, and there's only enough for me.
104
After a while, the mother goat finally returned to the cottage.
105
But the door was open and the inside was a mess.
106
The mother searched everywhere but couldn't find her kids.
107
She began to cry, My babies!
108
Where are you, my little goats?
109
Hearing her cry, the little goat came out of the clock and ran to her.
110
He hugged her tightly and told her everything that happened.
111
Mommy, a hungry wolf took all my siblings.
112
I'm the only one who escaped.
113
The mother goat immediately went to the wolf's den with her kid.
114
The hyena saw the mother goat coming to rescue her babies, but he didn't tell the wolf about it.
115
He knew one goat wasn't enough for a full meal, so he just returned to his own den.
116
Meanwhile, the mother goat heard her little one's voices from inside.
117
She turned to her kid and said, This is the wolf's den.
118
We must be very careful now, my dear.
119
The mother goat and her kid made a brilliant plan to save the little goats.
120
They stood on opposite sides of the den.
121
At that moment, the hungry wolf had his mouth wide open, ready to eat one of the kids.
122
The mother goat and her kid waved their arms to cast a big shadow inside the wolf's den.
123
The shadow looked like a huge bear.
124
The mother goat deepened her voice like a bear and said, I am a giant bear, very hungry.
125
There must be a wolf here I can eat, she growled.
126
The wolf truly believed a bear had come to eat him.
127
He was terrified.
128
He left the six captured kids behind and ran away in fear.
129
He ran so fast he didn't even notice the mother goat and her kid standing at the entrance.
130
While running, he shouted, Help!
131
A bear!
132
It's going to eat me!
133
The hyena saw him and smirked, saying, That wolf really doesn't have a brain.
134
The hungry wolf disappeared into the depths of the forest.
135
The little goats were still too afraid to come out of the wolf's den.
136
They truly believed a bear had come.
137
But when the mother goat and her kid came in and showed themselves, they realized the truth and hugged her with joy.
138
Together they left the wolf's den and returned to their cozy cottage cottage.
139
The mother goat hugged her kids tightly and told them how brave they were.
140
From that day on, the mother goat and her seven kids lived safely in their forest cottage.
141
And the bad wolf never returned to that forest again.
142
Once upon a time, in a beautiful forest surrounded by green trees, lived three little pigs.
143
These little pigs lived in a tiny cottage with their mother.
144
When the piglets grew up, they wanted to build a life on their own.
145
One day, they went to see their mother.
146
And they told her they wanted to live on their own.
147
Their mother warned them, My children, build strong houses or the big bad wolf might find you.
148
The little pigs listened to their mother and set off.
149
But they didn't know that the big bad wolf was watching them.
150
The big bad wolf followed the three little pigs day and night.
151
Finally, the brothers found a lovely spot by the lake to build their homes.
152
First, the smallest pig wanted to build himself a house made of straw.
153
Because he was very impatient and wanted to finish quickly so he could go play.
154
So he quickly finished his straw house.
155
He excitedly grabbed his ball and started playing.
156
The oldest pig came over and took a look at the straw house.
157
He told his brother that the house wasn't very strong.
158
If the big bad wolf comes, he can easily blow your straw house down and catch you, he warned.
159
But the little pig didn't care about what his brother said.
160
The wolf won't come here.
161
He won't find us in this huge forest anyway, he said.
162
Then he happily kept playing with his ball.
163
Then the middle pig gathered thin sticks from around to build his house.
164
He quickly started building his house.
165
But the sticks were so weak that the house didn't look sturdy at all.
166
So his older brother came and warned him just like he did with the little brother.
167
But the middle pig disagreed.
168
My house is very strong, it just looks a little messy, he said.
169
Then he ran to his brother and played ball with him.
170
Finally, the eldest pig began building his own house.
171
He was very hardworking and smart, and he built his house with stones.
172
Each stone was very strong.
173
While his brothers played, he worked for hours to build his house.
174
He sweated a lot, got very tired, but finally built a beautiful and strong house.
175
When his brothers saw the house, they stared in awe.
176
Big brother, your house is amazing, but you didn't get to play with us, they said.
177
When evening came, each pig went into his own house.
178
The forest got cold and the owl started hooting.
179
The little pig was happy in his house, but very cold.
180
The middle pig couldn't sleep because of the owl's sounds, but the eldest pig was sleeping peacefully in his house.
181
The big bad wolf noticed this and made his move.
182
First, he came to the straw house of the little pig.
183
Open the door, little pig, or I'll huff and puff and blow your house down, he said.
184
The little pig was very scared but didn't show it.
185
No, you can't.
186
My house is very strong, he said.
187
The wolf took a deep breath.
188
He huffed, he puffed, and the straw house collapsed.
189
The little pig ran in fear to his middle brother, and the wolf followed them.
190
He came to the middle pig's stick house.
191
Open the door, little pigs, or I'll huff and puff and blow your house down, he said.
192
The two brothers were shaking with fear.
193
The middle pig also said, no, you can't.
194
My house is very strong.
195
The wolf took another deep breath.
196
He huffed, he puffed, he huffed again.
197
And the stick house also collapsed.
198
The two pigs started running in fear.
199
And the wolf chased after them.
200
When the big brother saw his siblings, he said, come quickly, my house is strong.
201
The brothers ran into the stone house.
202
The big pig closed and locked the door.
203
The wolf came to the front of the stone house shouted, open the door little pigs or I'll huff and puff and blow your house down.
204
The big pig smiled and said, no you can't.
205
My house is very strong.
206
The wolf took a deep breath.
207
He huffed, he puffed, he huffed again.
208
But the stone house stood strong.
209
This time the wolf got very angry.
210
He climbed up to the chimney.
211
I'll just Go down the chimney and eat them all, he said.
212
The big pig noticed this and quickly lit the fireplace.
213
The fire started sending smoke up the chimney.
214
As the wolf came down, he was surrounded by smoke.
215
Coughing, he jumped out quickly.
216
He ran away into the depths of the forest.
217
He never came near the little pigs again.
218
The three little pigs hugged each other.
219
The brothers thanked their big brother.
220
Then the two brothers also worked and built stone houses.
221
Since that day they lived in safety and happiness.
222
And they never forgot to be careful of the big bad wolf.

Consigli per la Pratica
Per ottenere il massimo dalla tua esperienza di apprendimento, ti consigliamo di utilizzare la tecnica di shadowing in inglese. Ascolta attentamente il video e ripeti immediatamente dopo il narratore, cercando di imitare non solo le parole, ma anche l'intonazione e l'espressione. Poiché il ritmo del racconto è vibrante e coinvolgente, fai attenzione alle pause e ai toni emozionali nella voce del narratore. Questo ti aiuterà a sviluppare una pronuncia più naturale e una maggiore comprensione della lingua parlata.
Se sei nuovo nel shadowing site, prova a segmentare la narrazione in frasi più brevi per rendere la pratica più gestibile. Inizia a ripetere una frase alla volta, poi progredisci a blocchi più lunghi man mano che ti senti più sicuro. Ricorda, il segreto del shadow speak è la ripetizione e l'imitazione. Non avere paura di fermarti e riascoltare parti che ti sembrano difficili. Con il giusto approccio, migliorerai significativamente le tue abilità linguistiche!
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.
