What is going on?
7
It's just material.
8
Yeah, I know, but really, look at these pants.
9
I've seen pants bunch up before, yes.
10
I have never seen a bunch up like this in my life.
11
I have.
12
This is like a five -inch bunch up I got here.
13
Well, you don't have to play with it.
14
Is it a bad thing?
15
Maybe it's not such a bad thing, you know?
16
Oh, because you want people to think they constantly have an erection.
17
Is it a bad thing for me to walk around like that?
18
Yeah, it is.
19
I got a tent.
20
It's a big one.
21
Excuse me.
22
Is that a problem for you?
23
Excuse me.
24
Yeah, that's exactly right.
25
Could you be a little bit nicer about it and just go by?
26
A little bit nicer.
27
You make this big sigh.
28
I'm just trying to get by.
29
Did you have to move by while I'm sitting here and you could enter the other way?
30
Could you just move your legs?
31
What are you doing?
32
Are you looking at my breast?
33
You're looking at my breast.
34
I'm not looking at your breasts.
35
I'm trying to get to my seat.
36
He's looking at my breasts.
37
Yeah, yeah, you and your special breasts.
38
Just excuse me, please.
39
Please just go by without stepping on my foot.
40
Right, you wear that dress because you want people to look at your shoes, right?
41
Is that it?
42
Crick. Can you believe that?
43
I can't believe that.
44
Did you hear that?
45
I did.
46
Jerk.

48
What a sick...
49
Oh, my God.
50
I hate her, man.
51
She doesn't even move her knees to let somebody in?
52
She's sitting on the aisle.
53
She's sitting on the aisle.
54
She doesn't expect somebody to come in?
55
Oh, I'm so sorry.
56

58
You got really upset, didn't you?

60
Well, don't worry.
61

62
So, I'm not quite sure how to tell you this, but...
63
But I think your friend Nancy thinks she got me aroused in the movie.
64
Why would she think that?
65
Because of the tent and the pants, and she looked down.

She looked at it.
74
She looked at it.
75
She looked down.
76
What was her reaction?
77
What?
78
Like it was awkward.
79
There was a little twinkle, yeah.
80
You're sure that she looked over and thought that you were excited?
81

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.
