ARTHUR : Hey, D.W.!
5
Hey! Whoa! ARTHUR: Sometimes you think you know someone, but then they do something that really surprises you.
6
Like D.W. the other night...
7
ARTHUR: What are they?
8
Yaprak dolmasi, a Turkish delicacy.
9
Vine leaves stuffed with rice, lamb and pine nuts.
10
You made something else for D.W., right?
11
She's not going to want those anywhere near her plate.
12
D.W.: Hey! Little green hot dogs!
13
Wait, these don't taste like hotdogs.
14
They're ten times better!
15
Mmm! Delicious!
16
Can we have these every night?
17
Or Mr. Haney...
18
Who knew he could play the theremin while balancing plates?
19
And then there's...
20
Hi-ya! Ah! Hi-ya!
21
Hi-ya! Fern?
22
I didn't know you were into martial arts.
23
The ancient wisdom of the masters says, "Even a mighty oak was once a nut like you." I have no idea what that meant. Do you?
24
Oh, well. Maybe this will explain it.
25
Do you think Mr. Wu will have lots of great stories?
26
He's from China, right?
27
I don't know.
28
I know his daughter from work but I've never met him.
29
It's nice of you to help him out, though.
30
Well, I had to volunteer to get my Junior Explorers badge.
31
Why not help a wise elder?
32
MR. WU: It's open!
33
Hi! Are you the exterminator?
34
The alligator's in the bathroom.
35
Alligator? I'm kidding.
36
You must be Fern.
37
I'm Tony Wu.
38
Oh. Pleased to meet you, Mr. Wu.
39
Do you know how to make Mexican food?
40
Um... no. Me neither. Let's order in.
41
The menus are in the kitchen by the phone.
42
I'll pick you up later, sweetie.
43
Bye! TV ANNOUNCER: Jones needs this shot to go on to the finals.
44
: Great! Now he's in the sand trap!
45
He should have used a five iron.
46
Or maybe a waffle iron.
47
Did you used to play golf, Mr. Wu?
48
Oh yes. I've played in 18 different countries.
49
Really? Yep.
50
They were all in the Elwood City 'Round The World Mini Golf Course.
51
Oh. Could you get me some more mineral water?
52
And help yourself to whatever's in the fridge.
53
You don't have much in the fridge.
54
Do you want me to go shopping...
55
Hi, Fern.
56
Want to come over Saturday afternoon?
57
We're going to break in our new croquet set.
58
Sorry, I have to help Mr. Wu then.
59
I'm volunteering to get my Junior Explorers service badge.
60
Oh, too bad.
61
Wait, not Tony Wu?
62
Yeah. Why? I heard he lives in Elwood City, but I thought it was just a rumor.
63
Has he taught you anything?
64
What would he teach me?
65
Kung fu. He's a grandmaster.
66
He is? SUE ELLEN: In the 1960s and '70s, Tony Wu was one of the biggest names in martial arts.
67
He won tons of trophies and created his own kung fu style called Laughing Dragon.
68
He even made a few films.
69
I have one here: "Master Wu and the Rebel Monks." It's a terrible movie, but it's really cool to see Tony Wu's moves.
70
STUDENT: One year I have spent with you and you have taught me nothing.
71
Only how to sweep and swat flies.
72
Oh? Is that so?
73
You see, any practice-- even sweeping-- is kung fu if you learn to focus your mind.
74
Always pay attention to your surroundings.
75
Now, make soup!
76
Whoops. Wow. I had no idea who I was helping.
77
You think he'll teach me some kung fu?
78
I'd love to be able to do stuff like fly through the air.
79
He retired a while ago.
80
But you never know.
81
MR. WU: It's open!
82
Master Wu, I am ready.
83
Me too. Golf's just about to start.
84
Shall we order some Thai food?
85
Aren't there some chores you'd like me to do?
86
Well, I thought it could wait till after lunch, but there are one or two little things.
87
MR. WU: Just file it all alphabetically.
88
Angry letters go in the trash.
89
Thanks, Fern.
90
Filing? What kind of martial art can I learn from this?
91
Any practice is kung fu if you learn to focus your mind.
92
Now file! Hi-ya!
93
Hoo...
94
wah... Hoo...
95
wah... Hoo wah!
96
Aah! Any further instructions, Master Wu?
97
Huh? No, you did plenty.
98
Thanks, Fern.
99
Perhaps you can teach me sweeping style next week?
100
Sweeping style?
101
What's that?
102
I see. I am not ready.
103
I will try harder.
104
Hmm? BINKY: Hey, Fern.
105
What's with the funny ribbon?
106
I'm in training.
107
I can't talk about it.
108
I can only say I'm learning from a master.
109
A master of what? Headbands?
110
I would advise you not to mess with me.
111
I know filing style.
112
Hi-ya! Um, okay.
113
I'll let you know if I run into any papers that need filing.
114
I think you've cleaned that one enough.
115
But now you can start gluing it.
116
I'm so sorry, Master Wu.
117
It's just a plate.
118
I'll fix it later.
119
Now, about all this "Master" stuff...
120
Well, isn't that what students call their...
121
I mean, you're teaching me kung fu, right?
122
What? Now, that's funny!
123
Wait, so all these chores are just...
124
Helping out an old guy with bad knees.
125
And you've done a good job, too.
126
Except for the plate.
127
I don't believe it.
128
All this time I thought I was really learning something.
129
Wait. I'm rusty but if you really want to learn a martial art, I can teach you a few things.
130
You can? Thank you, Master.
131
But no calling me "Master".
132
I'm Tony. Now get me some mineral water, grasshopper.
133
Today we're going to try some tai chi.
134
That means "Supreme Ultimate Fist." Do what I do.
135
First posture, stand quietly.
136
Just stand?
137
Just stand.
138
A correct stance is very important.
139
Okay, now comes horse stance.
140
So when do I learn to climb walls and walk on trees and stuff?
141
That's just in the movies.
142
Now, get ready for the next stance: bow and sit.
143
SUE ELLEN: I can't believe you're studying Tai chi with Mr. Wu.
144
You're so lucky!
145
But it's so slow.
146
I'm sorry, but I don't think I could defeat an enemy with bow and sit stance.
147
What are you in training for, Fern?
148
The Slow Motion Olympics?
149
Ding bow on toe, step left foot out, toe to ground, keep back straight.
150
Tony, isn't martial arts about fighting opponents?
151
Tai chi is different.
152
It's a soft style, about focus and balance.
153
But you studied kung fu and combat style when you were young in China, right?
154
China? I grew up in California.
155
And I learned kung fu from my Aunt Shirley.
156
You're not even from China?
157
You have to let go of your ideas of how you thought things were and go with the flow.
158
Is that an ancient proverb?
159
It's from the '60s.
160
I learned it in Berkeley.
161
So, shall we continue?
162
Why don't we go out to the park and do our lesson there?
163
The park? Oh, no.
164
Come on. I've never seen you out of the house the whole time I've been coming here.
165
It'll do you good.
166
It's too far.
167
Too far? This from a kung fu master?
168
I don't have the right shoes.
169
Maybe you'll see some friends.
170
Friends? You've heard my jokes, Fern.
171
I don't have any friends.
172
I'll go, but I'm not going to like it.
173
Mind if I join in?
174
Please. You know, Fern, I think I like this after all.
175
Sometimes you have to let go of your expectations and...
176
MR. WU and FERN: Go with the flow.
177
MR. WU and FERN: Go with the flow.

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.
