It was Mary Shelley at age 19.

How did this young girl come to create the most famous monster in the world?
18
She was on vacation with her friends in the Swiss Alps.

They decided to hold a contest to see who can invent the scariest story.

Really scary stories.

Yeah, no baby stuff.

It was a giant radioactive vampire lizard.

The end.
47
That wasn't scary, Buster.
48
It wasn't even a story.
49
I'll give you a scary story.
50
There was this girl, and she went to this dance.
51
Her dress was perfect, and so were her accessories.
52
She danced and danced.
53
It made her thirsty.
54
She went for punch, but the clumsy oaf in front of her tripped over his cheap shoe.
55
His punch spilled all over her dress, and the stain would never come out.
56
Was that supposed to be scary?
57
Fine.
58
Your turn, Arthur.
59
Go ahead and scare me.
60
Okay.
61
You asked for it.
62
There was this kid, and on his birthday, he got a hideous and mysterious pair of underwear.
63
He buried them in his underwear drawer, and that was that.
64
The next day, he was forced to go to the board and do long division.
65
Suddenly, his pants fell down.
66
And there it was.
67
The mysterious underwear.
68
The underwear he had never put on.
69
The underwear he thought he had buried forever.
70
Oh.
71
Arthur, you've got to get over your underwear obsession.
72
You split your pants months ago.
73
It's over.
74
Move on.
75
I guess it's my turn now.
76
My story is true.
77
It happened to my uncle.
78
He's the one who saw the thing.
79
The thing?
80
My uncle's an entomologist.
81
A what?
82
A person who studies insects.
83
You know, bugs, beetles, that sort of thing.
84
That's not the scary part.
85
Anyway, he's a scientist.
86
Stuff like that doesn't bother him.
87
But there was this one time.
88
One night, when my uncle was a graduate student, He was working late in the lab with one of his professors.
89
It was raining heavily.
90
They were unpacking specimens from an expedition to the Congo.
91
Some of the insects were quite large.
92
How large?
93
My uncle recalled a beetle with two -foot -long pincers, the Congolese pinchopod.
94
Eww!
95
Anyway, it was late, and the professor decided to go home.
96
He had no umbrella, so he decided to look around for an extra one that somebody might have left behind.
97
My uncle kept working.
98
He started to open the last crate and was surprised to find that it was already open.
99
That's odd, he remarked.
100
Kinda weird.
101
Well, just then the old professor called out that he had found an umbrella.
102
It was a plain umbrella with a long wooden handle.
103
The only distinguishing mark was a green emerald at the end of the handle, a large, round jewel that caught the light and glinted.
104
It looked almost as if it had blinked, as if it were some kind of eye.
105
My uncle walked the old professor to the door so he could lock up after.
106
The professor stepped out into the rain and opened the umbrella.
107
There was a high -pitched buzzing, and then a horrible rattle of scales and wings.
108
My uncle could see this was no umbrella.
109
It was some kind of a...
110
Thing?
111
He saw with horror that the wings were lined with hundreds of writhing stingers.
112
He folded the stinging wings over the old professor.
113
My uncle heard something like a satisfied slurp.
114
And then, with a blood -curdling shriek, the thing flew off into the night.
115
The old professor was never seen again.
116
I just...
117
I couldn't sleep.
118
Couldn't get that story out of my head.
119
I know.
120
I'd close my eyes and all I could see were those writhing stingers.
121
I kept hearing the satisfied slurp.
122
And the blood -curdling shriek.
123
Hey, everybody.
124
Isn't it beautiful today?
125
Why did you have to tell us about the thing?
126
Yeah, I was so happy before.
127
How does your uncle sleep at night?
128
Muffy, I don't have an uncle.
129
And there is no thing.
130
I made it up.
131
You guys know that.
132
But you said it was a true story.
133
Were you lying?
134
No. Saying that it all really happened was just part of the story.
135
It's a common storytelling device, Arthur.
136
By the way, Mary Shelley used it too.
137
But those details, the lab and the rain and the insects, you made it all sound so real.
138
Yeah, well, that's what a good storyteller does.
139
Look, it's not real, so get over it.
140
But I can still hear that blood -curdling shriek.
141
And that satisfied slurp.
142
And those writhing stingers.
143
Who can forget about those?
144
Come on, it's just stuff I made up.
145
You know what's really scary, Fern?
146
Your brain.
147
I mean, how could you think up a story like that?
148
Easily.
149
And I could think up even scarier ones if I tried.
150
Listen to this.
151
It was a dark and stormy night.
152
Let's get out of here!
153
Fraidy cats.
154
Hi, Buster.
155
Relax.
156
I just wanted to remind you about the library book sale tomorrow.
157
Can't hear you!
158
Can't hear you!
159
Hey, Arthur, will you help me with this?
160
What's in there?
161
Oh, Arthur, here.
162
It's just...
163
No!
164
Keep your scary stories to yourself!
165
Scarier pants -off books are always hot items at the book sale.
166
Are you absolutely sure you want to part with all of these, Fern?
167
Yeah.
168
Since I read Frankenstein, I found them all kind of tame.
169
Wait till I plug in these lights.
170
A touch of glitz and glamour for the book sale.
171
Be right back.
172
Welcome to the totally unscary book sale.
173
Here, everybody.
174
Garlic.
175
Prunella said it would protect us.
176
What's with the garlic?
177
Be gone, queen of darkness.
178
Your powers mean nothing here.
179
I am not the queen of darkness.
180
Um, what exactly caused this blackout, do you think?
181
Electrical hubris.
182
I blew a circuit when I plugged in the fancy -schmancy slime.
183
Hi, we've got lots of scare -your -pants -off books today.
184
Everybody likes a good scare.
185
Not everybody.
186
Well, if you don't want scary, we've got plenty of options here today.
187
This one's hilarious.
188
Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman. So funny.
189
I loved it.
190
Or how about this one?
191
A real tearjerker.
192
Old yeller. So sad.
193
I cried and cried.
194
Me too.
195
A good writer can make you feel anything.
196
You're right.
197
Arthur, I'm not ready to go.
198
Listen, guys.
199
I'm not the queen of darkness, and I can prove it.
200
Yeah, right.
201
My story was scary, but I can make it unscary.
202
Just listen.
203
No way!
204
The umbrella doesn't have to turn into the thing.
205
I can make it into anything you like.
206
It's a trick.
207
No, listen.
208
I could make it turn into something wonderful like...
209
Like a dragon.
210
Dragons are scary.
211
Not this one.
212
When the old professor opens the umbrella, it transforms into a golden dragon.
213
Golden is good.
214
Platinum is better.
215
Okay, it's a platinum dragon.
216
And it knows the way to a secret cave full of,
217
you know, treasures, jewels, and really great, um, accessories. And shoes.
218
Lots of shoes.
219
Shoes?
220
I don't get it.
221
Or maybe the umbrella turns into something else.
222
Like, like...
223
An alien? But a nice one.
224
Does it always have to be aliens?
225
No!
226
The umbrella could have superpowers.
227
Hold on to it and you can, um...
228
Fly?
229
Fly!
230
And rid the world of evildoers!
231
Stop!
232
Stop it, all of you!
233
You're ruining the thing!
234
D .W., what are you talking about?
235
You don't even know what the thing is.
236
I have ears, Arthur.
237
For the past two days, the thing is all you've talked about.
238
The slurp, the shriek, the stingers.
239
I want them back in!
240
But it's too scary, D .W.
241
It could be scarier.
242
I had a couple of ideas.
243
Oh, yeah?
244
Like what?
245
I think the big horrible thing should break up into a lot of little horrible things.
246
I really like the platinum dragon.
247
You mean like lots of little spiders or scorpions running around?
248
That kind of thing?
249
That's good.
250
We can hear you.
251
We can hear you.
252
We can hear you.
253
We can hear you.
254
We can hear you.
255
Here's the deal.
256
The little horrible things are really bloodthirsty.
257
They take over the...
258
What a wonderful kind of day
259
We can learn to work and play
260
And get along with each other
261
What a wonderful kind of day
262
What a wonderful kind of day

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.
