8
guys, what would be the most important scientific discovery of the year?
9
Some way to hold our school dance.
10
Incorrect.
11
Correct.
12
The Marine Park double -booked the function hall we hired and now we don't have a venue for the dance.
13
Relax.
14
Someone else will look after you.
15
That's someone else's us.
16
I'm the chairperson of the organising committee.
17
Well, I'm working on a scientific way that'll make it easier for you guys to be mermaids.
18
Maybe we could have, like, a street party.
19
We could cordon off the roads around the school and have dancing in the street.
20
I'll call the council.
21
I'm losing it, aren't I?
22
How about the cafe?
23
Brilliant.
24
That's way more intimate than a function room.
25
And there's still enough room for dancing.
26
You're a genius, Lewis.
27
Hey.
28
There's Miss Chatham.
29
Can't we just wave?
30
He sensed you're upset.
31
I sensed it from him.
32
A mind -reading dolphin?
33
Oh, a lot of sea creatures are empathetic.
34
It's like a kind of magic.
35
I mean, not the kind where you make things disappear.
36
They'd need a wand for that.
37
Fortunately, there's a thing called science to help the magic along.
38
Lewis was trying to figure out a scientific way to make it easier for us to be mermaids.
39
It won't work.
40
Well, it mightn't let them mind -meld with the jellyfish, but it will give them a chance to live like normal human beings.
41
Well, no one can mind -meld with a jellyfish.
42
They're jellyfish.
43
And these girls are not normal human beings.
44
Yes, they are.
45
What's happened to them might seem magical, but the cure will be scientific.
46
Can science explain why whales sing?
47
Yes.
48
Yes, it can.
49
Can it tell you what they're singing about?
50
Anyway, we've got a dance to organise.
51
Good luck.
52
I have to promise to stick to one rule.
53
No early finishing.
54
Don't want people saying I laid some curfew on you.
55
We can manage that.
56
Good.
57
Then go for it.
58
Cool idea, having it here.
59
Yeah, should make it a lot easier to organise the drinks.
60
And the music.
61
And the security.
62
Which should free up some time for me to help with food and the lighting.
63
It's a lot of organising.
64
Yeah, whatever it takes.
65
I'm gonna make sure this is the best chance ever.
66
Nothing's gonna get in my way.
67
Hey, everyone who goes is gonna have the best time.
68
Cool. So... are you going?
69
Don't see how I couldn't with all the work you're doing.
70
So I'll see you there.
71
What's wrong with you?
72
Why didn't you ask him to the dance?
73
The guy asks the girl.
74
That's how it works.
75
Oh, welcome to the 21st century.
76
I don't have time to worry about it, anyway.
77
This dance is the last time our whole class is gonna be together for the rest of the year.
78
Exactly.
79
The main thing is that we organise a great night for everyone.
80
Lewis hasn't asked you, either, has he?
81
Go and ask Lewis now.
82
Do not make the same mistakes certain other people make.
83
As if you'd ever ask a guy.
84
Of course I would.
85
As it happens, Zane's already asked me, so I don't have to.
86
But I would have.
87
Hi, guys.
88
Cleo's thinking about not going to the dance.
89
She should definitely go, shouldn't she?
90
We're both worried about getting wet.
91
Uh, a dork always brings a water pistol.
92
No, no, Ricky's right.
93
You should definitely go.
94
Oh, there's something I need to ask you.
95
Really?
96
Yes, which I will in a second.
97
Now, do you guys remember my research?
98
Well, I can now reveal that I'm this close to a formula that'll make you guys waterproof.
99
Really?
100
It looks that way, which means that you'll certainly be able to go to the dance.
101
And anywhere else, for that matter.
102
Wasn't there something else you wanted to ask me?
103
Oh, yes, um...
104
Cleo, I was wondering...
105
if you would like to give me one more hair sample?
106
I just need to do one more test.
107
Ow.
108
Sorry, I needed a follicle.
109
Bye.
110
Hey, Spunky.
111
You moved house lately?
112
Uh -huh.
113
No. Cool.
114
I know where to pick you up from, then.
115
Does this have anything to do with the dance, Nate?
116
Can be if you want it to be.
117
Yeah, I'm in the market for a chickie to take.
118
No. Well, I'll leave you to think it over, then.
119
Catch ya.
120
You are so lucky.
121
Jiggy.
122
Well, the dance is tonight, so I'm gonna need the ice as soon as possible.
123
Thanks.
124
I can't believe you're letting him get away with this.
125
If he wanted to take me to the dance, he'd have asked me.
126
No, not you.
127
Yeah, I'm sure you're too old for me.
128
Just the ice will be fine.
129
Thanks.
130
And anyway, I'm not letting anyone get away with anything.
131
I'm not even sure I want to go to the dance.
132
Okay, so will it be board games or card games?
133
I want to go.
134
And if Lewis won't ask me, then...
135
Look, I think you should give Lewis one last chance.
136
Last being the operative word.
137
Cleo, hi.
138
Hey, Lewis.
139
Lewis, is there anything you wanted to ask me?
140
Yes, there is, actually.
141
Really?
142
And what would that be?
143
Um...
144
Well, I was kind of embarrassed to ask in front of the other girls, but...
145
He wants a sample of my earwax.
146
Right.
147
Take no prisoners.
148
Hey!
149
Nate, I was just wondering if you'd still like to come and dance with me.
150
Cool.
151
Oi!
152
Where's something short?
153
I'm tired.
154
That's what? That was short. And tight.
155
Are we covered up enough?
156
Sure.
157
Not even a tiny spray of water vapor could touch our skin.
158
Do we look like dorks?
159
No way.
160
Not a chance.
161
Definitely not.
162
We're fine.
163
We look like dorks. So you're definitely coming?
164
Well, I'm the dance organiser.
165
It's my responsibility.
166
You're all here.
167
Brilliant.
168
We're all out of navel lint, Lewis.
169
No, no, I don't need any more specimens.
170
My research is finally complete.
171
Cleo.
172
We don't need deodorant either, Lewis.
173
It's not.
174
Look, I've developed an amino acid Teflon derivative compound that when in contact with skin, resists moisture.
175
You mean it'll waterproof us?
176
How can you be sure?
177
Well, I'm not, but this second bottle, it's full of water.
178
Lewis, I've already packed my towel in my bag.
179
You better be ready to catch me when this tail appears.
180
Do you see a tail?
181
We don't have to worry about getting wet anymore.
182
Mm -hmm.
183
That means we can wear what we want to the dance.
184
Yes!
185
The dance.
186
What do you think?
187
Sounds like a compliment to me.
188
Cleo, I am so sorry.
189
I just...
190
I just got so caught up in my research.
191
I just lost track and I didn't realise the dance was so soon.
192
But seeing as you're all dressed, I just thought perhaps you and I, uh, we could...
193
Well, you know, together, I thought, perhaps...
194
This is only if you want to...
195
Yeah, someone's here for you.
196
I thought I said something short and tight.
197
What?
198
Nothing.
199
Should we get going?
200
Lewis, you're not coming?
201
Um, I might get in there later.
202
Oh, you should bring a hose then.
203
Because it's gonna be hot.
204
Bye, Lewis.
205
You're letting my daughter go with him?
206
No, it's not really up to me.
207
Of course it is.
208
She only ever talks about you.
209
Come on, Lewis.
210
You're better than that, Goose.
211
Really?
212
Where's mate?
213
He parked me?
214
Mates now dance later At least someone's having fun
215
Do you think Lewis would have asked me if he'd remember the dancers tonight only one way to find out
216
You can dance now.
217
Mates, later.
218
I really messed it up, haven't I?
219
You know, there is such a thing as cutting in.
220
Come on, Lewis.
221
I need a partner for this one.
222
I'm just gonna go get a drink.
223
You're free.
224
That's dance.
225
Hey, it's time for a top -up.
226
It's OK.
227
It's really important to top up on your deodorant.
228
Stand for us.
229
Cool dance.
230
You've done great.
231
Lucky I didn't ask you to come with me.
232
You were going to ask me?
233
Sure.
234
Then you said how great you wanted to be
235
and how much work you had to do and nothing was going to get in your way.
236
So I took a hint.
237
That wasn't a hint.
238
It wasn't.
239
Hey, come over here, man.
240
We've got to, um...
241
Alright.
242
I didn't mention about deodorant, well, maybe you can help me.
243
Give it back!
244
Oh, sorry.
245
We used it all up.
246
That's okay.
247
You guys needed it more than I did.
248
You sure you're not angry?
249
I mean, you really are red in the face.
250
No, the smell of body odour tends to do that to me.
251
Well, it looks more like blood pressure.
252
I was trying to convince you how great the dance would be so you'd ask me.
253
Right.
254
I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.
255
I'm not embarrassed.
256
You look hot.
257
I'll go get you a drink, then.
258
Whoa!
259
You really need to take a break.
260
This isn't sunburned, Lewis.
261
What have you done to us?
262
Well, I don't...
263
It could be from the formula.
264
Of course it's from the formula.
265
What do we do about it?
266
Well, it's probably just, like, a minor allergic reaction.
267
I'll need to do some more tests.
268
More earwax?
269
Ideally.
270
And how is that going to help us now?
271
You've ruined our night, Lewis.
272
Look at us.
273
I say we run for it.
274
You can...
275
You can barely notice it.
276
There you are.
277
You're not red.
278
I'm a few things to this first.
279
Obviously, the formula only reacts with our human skin.
280
Yeah.
281
Now that we're mermaids, it doesn't affect us.
282
And that helps us how?
283
Just as Byram was about to make a move.
284
Really?
285
That's fantastic.
286
Yeah, and then I turned into a tomato pizza and ran out on him.
287
At least your guy is showing an interest.
288
Tiffany, there's something that I have to ask of.
289
Yes, Lewis? May I have...
290
A.. a toenail specimen.
291
Yes, Lewis.
292
Have the girls come back yet?
293
Would we be sitting here like losers if they had?
294
Well, I'm sure they won't be long.
295
Do you think they went home?
296
Something's happened.
297
Oh!
298
Well, let me guess, a little pop has told you that.
299
Am I wrong?
300
Yes!
301
Well...
302
No. You're right.
303
I messed everything up.
304
I told you.
305
Science and magic don't mix.
306
No, but science works most of the time.
307
Can science really explain what goes on in your heart?
308
Especially tonight.
309
All right, OK, just for argument's sake, let's say magic exists.
310
What good does that do me?
311
How can I use it?
312
Well, who knows?
313
It's magic.
314
No!
315
But the girls need my help.
316
And if science doesn't work and there's no operating manual for magic, then what am I supposed to do? Be their friend.
317
Oh, it mightn't seem like much.
318
And you mightn't get it right every time.
319
But those girls need a friend like you.
320
That's it.
321
That's all I've got?
322
Nearly back to normal.
323
Well, just looks like we're used too much flusher.
324
They'll be packing up the dance by now.
325
Guys!
326
Guys, are you there?
327
Uh, so it's just about worn off, then?
328
Just in time to help stack the chairs, Lewis.
329
I'm sorry.
330
I had no idea something like this was gonna happen.
331
I was trying to help, and I still want to.
332
Do we get choice of colour this time?
333
Em, you might want to know that Byron's still at the dance.
334
He was waiting to see whether he'd come back or not.
335
Not anymore, he won't.
336
He'll be walking Miriam home.
337
If he asked to go to the dance, he'd feel responsible for it.
338
But he didn't ask her.
339
She asked him.
340
Tiffany told me between handstands.
341
So I guess Miriam was able to get her closing to Zane?
342
No way!
343
Last I saw, she was stuck dancing with Nate and his mates.
344
Really?
345
Yes.
346
Zane asked them to keep her away from him.
347
He was...
348
I don't know.
349
Nate was asking about you.
350
I only went with him because no one else asked me to go.
351
Am I that no one else?
352
Yes.
353
But you didn't seem interested. Which was really annoying. Because...
354
I'm interested in you.
355
Mm -hmm.
356
Do we keep sticking around, or...?
357
I guess it's getting late.
358
Byron!
359
I don't know what to say.
360
Well, yeah, I mean, I guess I'm interested in you, too.
361
Wow.
362
Um...
363
Is.. is it like.. like a friend thing?
364
Like a.. colleague?
365
I hope not.
366
I...
367
I don't think so.
368
I don't think so.
369
That's not what I meant.
370
Um...
371
Cleo, it's just that the exact definition, it's not easy.
372
It's not.
373
You're still trying to analyse this.
374
After everything we've been through.
375
You're absolutely right.
376
M -Miss Chatham's right.
377
No. Not everything can be explained scientifically.
378
In fact, I'm not even gonna try and figure it out anymore.
379
I just wanna.. go with the magic.
380
Works for me.
381
Oh.
382
I think I could get to like this magic.
383
Get used to it, Lois.
384
It's too long, cause I'm no ordinary girl I'm from the deep underworld,
385
the land or sea I've got the power if I just believe Cause I'm no ordinary girl,
386
I'm from the deep underworld The land or sea, the world's my oyster I'm the pearl,
387
no ordinary Come along, it just gets bitter
388
So much to do in just a little time Cause it
389
all depends on whether You wanna leave the land above the
390
earth Cause I'm no ordinary girl I'm from the deep blue
391
underworld The land of sea The world's my oyster undercrumbs No ordinary girl

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.
