Pratica di Shadowing: "I Don't Need Pity, I Need A Paycheck" | Erin Brockovich - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

Hey, hey.

Hey, what's she doing here? Who?

Donald.

Hey, what's she doing here?

She works here.

Aaron, how's it going?

You never called me back.

I left messages.

You did?

Well, I didn't know that.

Donald seems to think that you said that...

There's two things that aggravate me, Mr. Masri.

Being ignored and being lied to.

I never lied.

You told me things would be fine.

They're not.

I trusted you.

I'm sorry about that.

I really am.

I don't need pity.

I need a paycheck.

And I've looked.

But when you spend the past six years raising babies, it's real hard to convince someone to give you a job that pays worth a damn, are you?

I'm getting every word of this down, honey, or am I talking too fast for you?

I'm sorry about that.

I really am.

We have a full staff right now.

Bullshit!

If you had a full staff, this office would return a client's damn phone call.

I'm smart, I'm hardworking, and I'll do anything, and I'm not leaving here without a job.

Don't make me beg.

If it doesn't work out, fire me.

Don't make me beg.

No benefits.

What we do in here is file all of the cases.

And then that way, at any time, we can tell the status of a file.

You know, where it is in the office, stuff like that.

And here's where we organize all the files alphabetically.

Something went out.

Okay.

And here's your desk.

Okay.

And now I want you to come with me.

I want to show you where the Xerox machine is.

Everybody has a code, and you need to know about that.

Do I get to pick my own code?

We'll see.

Mr. Masry?

Yeah?

I was wondering, can you tell me who I talk to about maybe getting an advance on my paycheck just for the weekend?

Uh, Rosalind's the office manager.

She handles payroll and petty cash. But she's gone already.

She leaves early on Fridays.

Okay.

Thank you.

Oh, for Pete's sake.

Here, here.

I've only got hundreds.

Here.

I don't want your money, Mr. Masri.

I really...

Where do you think your paycheck comes from?

Here.

Yeah.

Have a good weekend.

Thank you.

Hey, Ann.

Hi, Ann.

Good morning.

Hey.

Hi, my sweetie.

Hello.

How are you?

Matthew, Katie.

Hey, Mom.

Hi sweetie.

Hi.

How are you?

Okay.

Thanks a lot.

You're welcome.

Hey!

Hello?

What are you doing making all that goddamn noise?

Well, uh, I don't know.

We're just introducing ourselves to the neighbors.

I'm just kidding.

Hey!

I don't know.

We're just introducing ourselves to the neighborhood, I guess.

Well, I'm the neighbors.

Here, we're introduced.

100

So shut the fuck up.

101

Oh, hey, hey.

102

Wait, hold on there.

103

Let's start over, okay?

104

My name's George.

105

What's yours?

106

Just think of me as the person next door who likes it quiet.

107

Hey, come on, don't be like that.

108

Hell, we live next door to each other.

109

I feel bad.

110

I feel terrible.

111

I'm sorry.

112

Will you accept my apology?

113

I mean, hell, we're living right next door to each other if you need a cup of sugar or some cream.

114

I don't need sugar.

115

You don't need any sugar.

116

Well, why don't I take you out to dinner to apologize for my rudeness, huh?

117

You give me your number.

118

I mean, I already got your address, so you can't get away, huh?

119

And I'll call you up proper, and I'll ask you out and everything.

120

You want my number.

121

I do.

122

I do want your number.

123

Which number do you want?

124

George?

125

George.

126

Now, I like the way you say that, George.

127

Uh, well, how many numbers you got?

128

Oh, I got numbers coming out of my years.

129

For instance, ten.

130

Ten?

131

Yeah.

132

That's how many months old my baby girl is.

133

You got a little girl?

134

Yeah.

135

Yeah, sexy, huh?

136

How about this for number six?

137

That's how old my other daughter is.

138

Eight is the age of my son.

139

Two is how many times I've been married and divorced.

140

16 is the number of dollars I have in my bank account.

141

850-3943.

142

That's my phone number.

143

And with all the numbers I gave you, I'm guessing zero is the number of times you're going to call it.

144

Hey, how the hell do you remember your bank balance right off the top of your head like that?

145

See, that impresses me.

146

You're dead wrong about that zero thing, baby.

147

How long has she been crying like that?

148

Well, she's got that tooth coming in.

149

Why don't you give her a cold washcloth to suck on?

150

I gotta go.

151

There's a clean one in the bag.

152

I'll check my clear.

153

Where's Anna?

154

Um, she's out to lunch with the girls.

155

Oh.

156

Uh, I have to open the file.

157

Uh, real estate thing, pro bono.

158

Okay.

159

You know how to do that, don't you?

160

Yeah, yeah, I got it.

161

You're a girl.

162

Excuse me?

163

Why aren't you out to lunch with the girls?

164

You're a girl.

165

I guess I'm not the right kind.

166

Uh, look, now you may want to, now that you're working here, You may want to rethink your wardrobe a little.

167

Why is that?

168

Well, I think some of the girls are a little uncomfortable because of what you wear. Is that so?

169

Well, it just so happens I think I look nice.

170

And as long as I have one ass instead of two, I'll wear what I like if that's all right with you.

171

Mm-hmm.

172

You might want to rethink those ties.

173

Anna?

174

Anna?

175

With this real estate stuff, could you remind me, because I'm a little confused exactly how we do it, why are there medical records and blood samples in real estate files?

176

Erin, you've been here long enough.

177

If you don't know how to do your job by now, I am not about to do it for you.

178

Hello?

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.
