1
Hi, I'm Cece, and this is my story.
2
Before I begin, don't forget to like and subscribe.
3
And hey, new MSA merch alert.
4
Our latest bottles and notebooks are out now.
5
Grab them via the link in the description and upgrade your gear.
6
I was born in Paris, the city of love.
7
Love was everywhere, in the heart-shaped cakes in the bakeries, in the balloons all the street merchants sold under the Eiffel Tower,
8
and in the random rounds of applause whenever someone proposed publicly, which happens like 100 times a day.
9
Yeah, love was everywhere, except our house.
10
My earliest memories are of my parents fighting over the tiniest things, and of Lola, my sister who was seven years older, distracting me.
11
I got you new furniture for your dollhouse.
12
Let's rearrange it in my room.
13
Why are mom and dad yelling?
14
Are they gonna be okay?
15
Of course they'll be okay.
16
Parents fight.
17
This is normal.
18
Don't worry.
19
It didn't feel normal.
20
It felt like my whole world was going to crumble down.
21
And the only stable thing around me was Lola.
22
When her parents eventually divorced, Mom moved to Italy to become an opera singer, and Dad soon realized his mistake and spiraled.
23
He locked himself up in their room, and we rarely saw him.
24
From that moment onwards, Lola became my unofficial parent.
25
You cannot eat ice cream before dinner!
26
You're not my real mom!
27
Why did you fail math?
28
I spent my whole week tutoring you!
29
You're not my real mom!
30
It's fair to say I drove Lola crazy.
31
She was forced to become my mother at a very young age.
32
And I could be a brat.
33
Also, I kind of ruined her plans for the future and her relationship with her very serious boyfriend, Jordan.
34
Jordan and Lola had planned to go away to college together.
35
Seeing that Lola had to work and take care of me since our dad was useless, Jordan left her and went off to college on his own.
36
I'm sorry, Lola.
37
There isn't a place for both me and Cece in your life.
38
This is it for us.
39
I felt guilty that Lola had lost both her boyfriend and her dreams.
40
So I no longer wanted to give her a hard time.
41
I started paying attention in class, helping her around the house, and even preparing her favorite meals and desserts.
42
Ugh, there is no love like sisterly love, Cece.
43
Never forget that.
44
We only have each other in this life.
45
One day, as I was working at my part-time cashier job in a coffee shop, I noticed a very rich-looking guy staring at me.
46
I could feel his gaze without even lifting my head.
47
Naturally, I decided to stare back until he got uncomfortable and broke eye contact.
48
But he was a tough opponent.
49
Give it up, creep!
50
Didn't your mommy teach you it's rude to stare at people?
51
But he still didn't flinch!
52
He insisted on being in the line I was serving, even though the other one was empty!
53
One Americano, please.
54
Will that be all?
55
How about your number on the side?
56
I just stood there with a poker face until he finally gave up and said, Yes, that'll be all.
57
One Americano coming up.
58
Name?
59
Ben.
60
That'll be four euros, Ben.
61
He gave me a hundred and told me to keep the change with a wink.
62
Nice try, jerk.
63
If you think you can buy my number, you're sadly mistaken.
64
Take your stupid money.
65
I'm just a generous tipper, girl.
66
But I will get your number eventually.
67
And by the way, your eyes are gorgeous.
68
And then he left.
69
I wish I had shoved that change in his stupid face.
70
Oh well.
71
I could just use it to buy Lola something nice.
72
This rich jerk kept coming back every day, and I'd always notice he had bodyguards waiting outside the shop for him.
73
One day he came in when the place was empty.
74
I won't leave until you give me your number.
75
Then I hope you brought a change of clothes and a toothbrush.
76
You know, Cece, not to be a self-centered jerk, but I'm a great catch.
77
If you're so great, why are you so desperate to get my number?
78
Determined is a better term.
79
I enjoy a hard challenge, and I just can't get you out of my head.
80
Then get a new head!
81
I would, but I have great hair.
82
You're not getting my number, weirdo!
83
We'll see.
84
For the next few weeks, he showed up with extravagant gifts Like a full mariachi band?
85
Or roses that filled up the stores and customers couldn't get in?
86
My boss finally snapped and told me to handle the situation or I was out.
87
Of course, I couldn't get fired.
88
I had to help Lola with the household expenses.
89
So I caved and gave him my number.
90
I'd just block him later.
91
When I told my coworkers what happened, they all burst out laughing and started showing me his pictures on the internet.
92
Turns out, he wasn't just a rich kid, but a famous actor as well.
93
Apparently, he had bought the staff silence because he didn't want me to go out with him simply for being famous.
94
To my surprise, he wasn't that big of a jerk either.
95
He was crazy romantic.
96
Like, crazy romantic.
97
One day, I mentioned that I was craving pizza, so he insisted on going to Napoli for lunch.
98
I thought he managed to get last-minute tickets on a plane to Italy, but turns out we were going with his private jet.
99
You know, Cece, when I first met you and realized that you didn't know who I was, I felt truly alive.
100
I had a rare opportunity to introduce myself however I like to someone who didn't already have some opinions about me.
101
Well, for future reference, you didn't do a great job at it.
102
He came off as a creep.
103
Yeah, you made that very clear.
104
Don't worry.
105
He was sweet, charming, and attentive, and I found myself falling for him.
106
I was hesitant to bring Ben home to see our poor house and meet my useless dad.
107
Only when I made sure he actually loved me and accepted me no matter what, I invited him to dinner.
108
But Lola wasn't too enthusiastic about him.
109
You're spending too much time with him, Cece.
110
Boys are trouble and a distraction.
111
You should be focusing on your studies to get into a good college instead of dating flamboyant stars.
112
I'm not a kid anymore.
113
Don't worry about me.
114
Also, I can do both.
115
Then, Ben and I went public, and he started taking me to all his premieres and movie sets.
116
Sometimes, I would miss school and travel with him wherever he went.
117
Lola was furious about this.
118
I did not break my back to keep you in school
119
and give up on my dreams so you can live in some stupid fairy tale with a boyfriend.
120
Fairy tales aren't real.
121
I'm grateful for the things that you've done, but you can't keep holding that over my head.
122
You also chose to do this, and I try to pitch in.
123
You're welcome to stop caring for me now and go back to school.
124
You're an ungrateful brat, Cece.
125
You just met this boy.
126
You're not his first love, nor the last.
127
Don't get too used to this lifestyle, because it won't be long before he drops you.
128
Then we'll see what you'll do, kiddo.
129
You almost sound like you resent me for getting a taste of the good life.
130
Just let me be, Lola!
131
But she didn't let me be.
132
One day, I came home after a trip to Hollywood and found Lola waiting for me in the dark.
133
Have a seat.
134
OMG, you freak!
135
You scared me!
136
I think you should see this.
137
What's this?
138
Your Prince Charming isn't so innocent.
139
I hired a private detective to follow him around.
140
See for yourself.
141
I couldn't believe Lola would go that far.
142
Where did she even get the money to do this?
143
In the folder she gave me, I found pictures of Ben and Saint Tropez playing volleyball with many models, and screenshots of him replying to other girls' stories on Instagram.
144
That didn't really bother me, till I saw a photo of him having dinner with one of his exes, and they were holding hands.
145
I felt utterly disgusted, and couldn't believe Lola was right.
146
Ben had already left on another trip for two weeks, so I just blocked his number and blocked him on all the socials too.
147
And I promised Lola that I'd never speak to him again.
148
But I did find myself missing him.
149
So, instead of caving and unblocking him, I decided to watch one of his movies.
150
So, one evening, there I was, engrossed in his latest spy film and a family-sized pizza topped with pepperoni and my salty tears,
151
when I caught a glimpse of something outside my window.
152
It was Ben, swinging from a rope off the roof like a low-budget action hero.
153
I quickly opened the window before he fell down and smashed his most valuable asset, his money-making face.
154
What are you doing?
155
Well, it was impossible to reach you by any normal means, and Lola wouldn't let me in, so I thought I could swing outside your window until you tell me what's wrong.
156
Do you think I'm stupid?
157
Do you think I wouldn't know about your affairs?
158
What the?
159
You heard me.
160
I know all about Saint-Tropez and your DMs with other girls, and the dinner with your ex.
161
I showed him the pictures, and to my surprise, she burst out laughing and tussled my hair.
162
You dummy, you.
163
Well first, these so-called models are my cousins.
164
Gross.
165
I can't help it if we're all a good-looking bunch.
166
Secondly, these DMs are made by a very famous fake account.
167
Everyone on Earth knows this person is acting like me.
168
How did you even miss this?
169
Okay, fine.
170
But what about the dinner?
171
How are you gonna justify that?
172
Well, now that's embarrassing.
173
I got an anonymous call telling me that this big-time director wanted to meet me to discuss his upcoming superhero franchise, for which he wanted to cast me.
174
I smelled something fishy because the call didn't come through my manager, but I was too afraid to miss the opportunity, so I went.
175
There I found my ex, who had received the exact same call.
176
It was obviously some kind of stupid setup, but there wasn't even any paparazzi around that we could see.
177
And here, I'm holding her hand because she's telling me her cat died.
178
I didn't bring this meeting up because it wasn't anything important.
179
Do you honestly think I believe that?
180
Yes!
181
Do you know why?
182
I voice recorded all my calls and meetings, so here you go.
183
Oh man, he humbled me quickly and left me speechless.
184
I hated being proved wrong.
185
But where did you get these pictures?
186
Did you hire someone to stalk me?
187
Don't flatter yourself.
188
They were thrown my way.
189
Don't think for a minute that I'm obsessed with you.
190
Cece, baby, it's too late.
191
I've seen you eat that pizza with snot and tears crying over me.
192
I hit him with the cushion as he laughed, then he hugged me.
193
The next morning, I told Lola everything, but she wasn't relieved or happy.
194
And you believe him?
195
You're so naive, Cece.
196
Well, I know him more than you or your private detective.
197
He's an honest guy who loves and spoils me.
198
Can't you just be happy for me?
199
You're my sister!
200
Is that too much to expect?
201
Lola looked at me and then sighed.
202
You're right.
203
I suppose I can give him a chance.
204
I was only trying to protect you.
205
He seems too good to be true.
206
I know, but maybe I lucked out and he doesn't have any skeletons in his closet?
207
Yeah.. maybe.
208
But just as I thought everything was on track, it all exploded in my face!
209
One morning, as I was watching the news, I saw a picture of Ben's father shaking hands with some thug.
210
In the latest Hollywood drama, the famous businessman, also known as Ben's father, is allegedly smuggling illegal goods and accepting bribes.
211
Does this mark the fall of his empire, and possibly Ben's reputation and career too?
212
As I watched in horror, I suddenly noticed Lola standing behind the couch, a huge, evil smirk on her face.
213
And the realization washed over me.
214
Lola was somehow behind this.
215
Lola?
216
My scream shut the house and I turned around to pounce on her.
217
Even Dad, who hadn't come out of his room in ages, came out running as we rolled around on the floor.
218
How dare you humiliate Ben and his family like that?
219
What did you do?
220
Just use some AI-generated images!
221
Ow!
222
Calm down, will you?
223
I'm doing what's best for you!
224
This is what's best for me?
225
Ruining my relationship and someone's life?
226
How could you do that?
227
Ben was nothing but nice to you.
228
I've been nothing but nice to you.
229
What is your problem?
230
And then Lola's face twisted with rage.
231
My problem is you thinking you deserve to go off
232
and live your fairytale life with your stupid perfect boyfriend when I gave up everything for you. So what?
233
I should just live here and take care of our useless dad after giving up on my boyfriend and my dreams?
234
And it was all for you.
235
Finally, the truth comes out.
236
You jealous, horrible dinosaur!
237
I slapped her hard.
238
You selfish, ungrateful pig!
239
Our epic slap showdown kept going until our palms were sore and dad finally intervened.
240
I stormed off and shut myself up in my room.
241
How could I tell Ben my sister ruined his family's reputation?
242
I tried calling him to see how he was taking it, but I couldn't reach him or anyone from his family or managers.
243
He just disappeared from the face of the earth.
244
I joined my dad in despair and didn't leave my room when Lola was in the house.
245
And I certainly didn't leave the house.
246
One night, as I was watching one of Ben's films, I heard loud knocks on the door and police sirens outside.
247
Dad and I got out of our rooms quickly, only to find the police taking Lola away.
248
You're being detained on suspicion of defamation through made-up evidence.
249
You have the right to remain silent.
250
Lola, I swear, I had nothing to do with this!
251
I know, Cece.
252
I did.
253
Lola turned herself in? But why?
254
I rushed to prison after her and waited until I managed to see her.
255
Why did you do that?
256
I couldn't bear seeing you so miserable.
257
I already lost mom and dad, and I can't stand the thought of losing you too.
258
I was afraid you'd go off with your prince one day, and I'd be alone and miserable.
259
And I got really jealous and selfish.
260
Ben made you happy, and you deserve that.
261
Now that it's public, his father was framed, I'm sure he'll turn up again.
262
I was speechless.
263
I believed Lola regretted what she'd done, but she had to pay the price for it now.
264
And Ben would get to hear that it was Cece behind everything, and would make sure he stayed away from me forever.
265
But one day, as I was leaving the police station after visiting Lola, I bumped into...
266
Ben!
267
I...
268
I thought I'd never see you again.
269
My family and I were advised to stay low and not to talk to anyone till the matter was cleared up.
270
Now, I'm here to pay Lola's bail, and we're dropping all charges against her.
271
What?
272
Why would you do that?
273
Because she turned herself in, so she obviously regrets it.
274
And because I love you, and she's your sister.
275
And because I'm confident that I can win her over too.
276
I wore you down, didn't I?
277
You sure did.
278
And I love you too.

Obiettivi di parlato per questo clip
Questo video è perfetto per lavorare sulla fluency e sulla capacità di narrare storie personali con emozione. Attraverso la conversazione di Cece, gli apprendisti possono esercitarsi a gestire pause naturali, variare il tono di voce per esprimere sentimenti come la colpa, l'affetto o l'irritazione, e mantenere un flusso coerente anche quando si passa da ricordi infantili a situazioni più recenti. È un ottimo modo per migliorare la pronuncia inglese e prepararsi a comunicare storie reali in contesti informali.
Banca di frasi riutilizzabili
- "It felt like my whole world was going to crumble down" (Sembrava che il mio mondo stesse per crollare): utile per esprimere ansia o sconforto.
- "You cannot eat ice cream before dinner!" (Non puoi mangiare il gelato prima di cena!): esempio di comando gentile con tono autoritario.
- "There isn't a place for both me and Cece in your life" (Non c'è posto per me e Cece nella tua vita): frase per esprimere un dilemma o una scelta difficile.
- "Give it up, creep!" (Arrenditi, stalker!): modo colloquiale per scongiurare qualcuno in modo diretto.
Correggi i tuoi punti deboli
Il dialogo presenta molte frasi con intonazione varia, specialmente nelle espressioni di emozione. Per migliorare, usa la tecnica del shadowing in inglese: ascolta una frase, pausa e ripeterla immediatamente, cercando di imitare il tono, la velocità e le pause. Concentrati su parole come "crumble" (crollare) o "distracting" (distrarre), dove la pronuncia delle consonanti finali è cruciale. Un shadowing site o un video di YouTube come questo è perfetto per esercitarti: ripeti le frasi più difficili più volte finché non senti che il flusso è naturale. Ricorda: l'obiettivo è non solo pronunciare bene, ma anche trasmettere l'emozione dietro le parole. Imparare l'inglese con YouTube e con il shadow speech è un modo efficace per rafforzare la confidenza nel parlare.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | was born · was forced · are made |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | you've done · I've seen |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | someone who didn · guy who loves |
| Past continuous was/were + -ing — un’azione in corso in un momento del passato | was working · was serving · was craving |
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.
