Pratica di Shadowing: pranks are just rebranded bullying - Impara a parlare inglese con i video
Creazione lezione...
1
Hi dudes, I'm Brooke, and I hate pranks, especially the way that they're done for social media.
2
The idea of making somebody the butt of the joke has never sat right with me, and the definition of what is considered a prank now seems to be extremely vague and all -encompassing.
3
So like, a bookie cushion is a prank, but felony assault can be as well, depending who you ask.
4
And don't get me wrong, I love a silly little bit and an LOL and a ha ha ha,
5
this video, rebranded bullying.
6
Pranks have been around for hundreds of years and even animals play pranks.
7
Like my dog, Navy Blue, pranks my dumbass every single day.
8
Sometimes she swears she has to go potty and I take her outside and then she barks at the air instead.
9
And then she runs back inside waiting for a treat.
10
Like, "Got your dumbass.
11
Reward me, please." And I do.
12
But while joking and teasing are normal and common, pranks can be taken way too far.
13
Especially these days when a lot of people are willing to do just about anything to go viral.
14
Is there a door dasher?
15
I thought so, but I don't think so.
16
I guess there isn't a door dasher.
17
Yeah, man.
18
I can't hear.
19
No, I didn't seem like it.
20
Weird.
21
I guess it was just the wind.
22
And in that pursuit of virality, some have turned to fucking over or humiliating their loved ones, recording it, and then posting it for the world to see.
23
And there are levels to this, but I hate all of them.
24
Now, I've been toying with the idea of making this video since around last November, actually, and that's because I was inspired, derogatory, by a video that was going really viral of a family
25
the sister -in -law of the person being pranked that posted it and she said, "Convinced my brother's fiance that we're an intense turkey trot family and that we run a full 10k every Thanksgiving,
26
including matching t -shirts and a special costume just for her." - One, two, three.
27
two three we're kidding Are you scared?
28
We're matching shirts!
29
But most of the internet, myself included, didn't feel like this was a harmless prank.
30
They had like matching shirts made fully
31
and have her in like a turkey hat and a tutu
32
and everything and I feel like this would have been funny
33
if it was like a little gag in the moment where for like two minutes they go, "Oh yeah, we're doing a turkey trot on Thanksgiving.
34
We always do." And then after like a minute or so be like, "Just kidding.
35
You don't have to worry about it."
36
to convince somebody that they're about to run a 10k on Thanksgiving morning just to make them feel dumb is weird.
37
And when they do tell her, she looks like she's like in shock.
38
And if I'm not mistaken, she looks like she starts crying.
39
And a lot of people online were also wondering if she trained for this, because if she's being told
40
that she's about to have to keep up in a 10k with her fiance's family and that they do this every year, most people assumed that she would have trained.
41
That could be totally reaching though, because that is just conjecture from the internet.
42
But either way, which is just super mean.
43
It's also just a super fucking corny prank.
44
No pun intended, you know, like Thanksgiving.
45
Like, yeah, you got me.
46
Now we're all up early as fuck on Thanksgiving in running clothes for no reason.
47
Good one, guys.
48
Like, what now?
49
the another thing about pranks to me is
50
that a lot of the time it's just somebody being really irritating to be irritating
51
and then calling that a prank have a great day can you hand it to me
52
it don't work i need you to hit me oh it don't work
53
always stop playing with me don't play with somebody else i
54
don't feel like playing with nobody please i don't i'll just
55
send it up like why are we pestering a customer service
56
worker she has to deal with the most insufferable people all day
57
and walmart is surely not paying her as much as they should be as it is
58
so why make her job harder than it already is i feel like pranks
59
irritated me.
60
They said, we just wanted to celebrate Alexia for earning her master's degree.
61
you like
62
you aren't celebrating her you're giving her a chore i don't blame her for being like okay
63
so do i leave like can i go home
64
because like what is she gonna do just sit there and loudly pop
65
isn't the end of the world
66
but it's just annoying like she just finished her master's degree she's probably tired
67
and i'm sure there are exceptions but co -workers are not your friends
68
and it's things like this that put that into perspective
69
but the most heinous part of this entire video is the
70
absolute ludicrous amount of printed out ai images of this one
71
guy they really ran this one guy's one picture through chat gpt 14 times i counted
72
and have it decorating their entire office from the balloons
73
and the four oceans worth of water used up to make
74
these i think this office actually needs to be locked up for their environmental crimes
75
but whatever that's beside the point aside from
76
that a stupid prank like this is annoying at worst
77
but it's not a huge deal
78
but trust me they get worse a lot of these
79
that i would consider just irritating are couples pranks
80
which makes me wonder if they're staged for content
81
but who knows there genuinely are couples who prank each other like this
82
and i don't want to yuck anybody's yum
83
but like in this one he says i don't want to
84
get my hair wet fun for a second regret forever my hair wet please okay babe
85
what the fuck did you say don't get my hair wet
86
you absolute girl it's gonna be hard to get through this video
87
because i'm already pissed off i understand the idea of like
88
if you're in a pool or the ocean
89
or whatever there is a chance that you'll get splashed but
90
if i've told somebody that i'm trying not to get my hair wet
91
and they dunk me it would genuinely ruin my day like the prank is just you ignoring my wishes Huh?
92
And also something that has always driven me crazy about this is the idea
93
that us girls don't want to get our hair wet
94
because we're just so vain and shallow and we think we'll look ugly.
95
But that's just not what's happening.
96
I'm sure there are people out there who avoid getting their hair wet for looks, but for the most part it's because salt water and chlorine are extremely damaging.
97
Not to mention that now instead of showering quickly after, you're adding in a hair wash day.
98
I have tape and extensions, so it's super annoying to wash my hair.
99
I wash it like every three days because I absolutely hate the feeling of having any oil in my hair, but it is good for your hair your hair to not wash it too frequently.
100
Anyway, when I'm going swimming or just like going in a jacuzzi or something, if I don't care to get it wet, it's not worth the extra like 45 minutes it's gonna take to wash it and dry it and everything.
101
And not to mention in my case, like if I already had it curled, now I have to recurl it.
102
It's just so annoying and inconsiderate.
103
There's a much larger conversation to be had though about men being extremely inconsiderate of their partners in the - No,
104
I don't believe it.
105
- Like what's the joke?
106
That she's fucking sticky now?
107
That's not funny.
108
If this happened to me, no joke, I'm going home.
109
I'm way too OCPD for that, dude.
110
I'm not walking around fucking sticky all day and with
111
that drink all in my hair and like messing up my makeup and on my clothes, like, ugh.
112
Like it's just so inconsiderate.
113
And it also goes back to the weird humiliation from the Thanksgiving prank thing.
114
An actual like fun prank is supposed to be something where when you reveal the prank, everybody's laughing together.
115
Not just bullying one person for your entertainment.
116
But this sticky fucking nightmare reminds me of one of my least favorite prank traditions that there is, which is people smashing someone's face into cake.
117
I'm sure we've all seen this a thousand times.
118
Like it's somebody's birthday and they finish singing happy birthday, they blow out their in the top of the cake.
119
It's stupid, it's gross, and it's a waste of good cake.
120
Or you know how when you wanna smash the birthday girl's face into her cake, but you're facing her, so instead you just rip her by her hair into the cake?
121
You know, you know when that happens?
122
I'm not even joking.
123
I think this is legitimately assault.
124
And the man getting in there to help?
125
Like, dude.
126
Also, why even buy a nice expensive cake if you're not going to be able to eat it?
127
the fucking clowns.
128
The thing about smashing somebody's face into cake is
129
that not only is it mean and gross and ruining their hair and makeup, you could also literally take their eye out.
130
A lot of cakes have dowels or similar support rods holding them up inside, so you're giving them a fucking Mortal Kombat finisher on their birthday for no fucking reason.
131
And you can call me paranoid
132
Like guys, this is already bad, but it could have been so much worse.
133
Also, why are we laughing still?
134
It's not fucking funny.
135
She just got hurt.
136
This is gonna be me at any event that serves cake from now on.
137
Cake isn't the only food that gets wasted in these stupid ass pranks though.
138
No sweet is safe, apparently.
139
Like in this stupid piece of poopy shit ass video, he says, "Pranking my wife by smashing her ice cream." "Eat it.
140
It looks so funny, don't it?" "Deeve !" "She started crying.
141
Package has been secured." Oh my fucking god, it's not a prank to just fucking hit people.
142
And of course she's fucking crying.
143
Her husband just fucking smacked her ice cream out of her hand and got it all over her and wasted it.
144
world.
145
This genuinely pisses me the fuck off.
146
Like literally this whole video is just me rage baiting myself.
147
I'm pissed the fuck off.
148
Like maybe I'm just the fun police, but this would have pissed me off so fucking bad.
149
I would have been seeing red.
150
You know, those cartoons where they like make the cartoon like a pressure cooker
151
and like the red comes up here and they're like steam comes out of their ears.
152
That would have been me if you fucked with my fucking soft serve, dude.
153
Oh my God.
154
I love soft serve so much.
155
I'm literally going to order soft serve after I film this.
156
That sounds so good.
157
What's even worse is that there's also a whole trend of men eating Like this one he says, finishing my girlfriend's pregnancy craving to see her reaction.
158
Okay.
159
Okay.
160
Babe, okay?
161
It's not...
162
Babe.
163
Wait, no. I didn't know it was that small.
164
Wait, Delia, wait, no. Don't cry.
165
That, I'm sure it's staged.
166
It has to be staged.
167
If it's not...
168
Also, if it is staged, like, what is the fucking point?
169
I hate rage bait, it's so stupid, like.
170
- Oh!
171
- What am I?
172
- Why would you do that?
173
- I'm sorry, it looks so...
174
Why would you do that?
175
Again, with the soft serve.
176
Is any soft serve safe?
177
I'm so fucking pissed off.
178
Navy's pissed off too, can you hear her?
179
I'm, Navy's sensing my energy from the other room.
180
she feels it i genuinely i hate sharing as it is
181
so these piss me off
182
so bad i'm sure a lot of them are just rage bait
183
or like staged or whatever
184
but like dude i'm someone who like does not share food
185
i don't like sharing food at all i grew up with siblings i don't like to share now
186
that i don't have to even as someone who's not pregnant like
187
if i was getting my food with as like a bit
188
ha ha ha oh my god jump out the window also your girlfriend is pregnant with your child so are you from a baby.
189
Literally and my stupid ass pregnant wife.
190
But as far as like pranking pregnant women, at least he didn't leave her in the middle of the fucking ocean.
191
Like this woman posted, "12 weeks pregnant
192
and trying to face my phobia of deep blue sea when I hear the saxophones getting louder." And side note, I was confused what she meant by deep blue sea.
193
I thought she meant the movie like with the sharks that just glimpses into how shark -pilled my mind is.
194
She's actually talking about like when you go out to open ocean
195
or whatever and it's not crystal clear waters like you can't see through so it's you Bye.
196
The good news is that she did have a follow -up story time where she confirmed
197
that he is in fact her ex now.
198
I was with Mates boyfriend at the time.
199
I said to him, "Please promise she won't leave me in the sea." No, no, no, I won't leave me.
200
I should have known who was gonna because that's just a wind -up person that he is.
201
But the idea of leaving someone out in the middle of the fucking ocean in any case
202
but especially when you know they're particularly afraid of that
203
and just mustered up the courage to face their fears is so fucking cruel.
204
And then I heard the engine start was underwater
205
and I thought no. She said that to this day when she goes out on a boat on vacation or whatever, that she won't jump in the water again.
206
Because this was her one time trying to face her fear and he fucking drove the boat away from her.
207
I just hate the theme of pranks that are just giving people anxiety for no reason, even if it's just for a minute.
208
But before I get too into it,
209
the easiest way to find and speak to a registered dietitian and have it covered by your insurance.
210
I was super excited to meet with the nourished dietitian
211
because I'm a very picky eater
212
and it can be a struggle for me to make sure I'm getting the right nutrients
213
while also not eating the exact same thing every day.
214
My nourished dietitian was super kind and super knowledgeable and empathetic
215
and she gave me a lot of good advice on how to navigate some of the struggles I have with my nutrition.
216
I really liked that she didn't just hand me a pdf of the food pyramid and tell
217
working for me and gave me advice that I could implement alongside of those things.
218
You can meet with their vetted registered dietitians anywhere anytime conveniently over Zoom.

228
Thank you to Nourish for sponsoring this video.
229
Now back to me.
230
Like in this TikTok that I'm gonna show you, she makes her mother -in -law think that her son just lost his job as an April fool's joke.
231
Um, have you spoken to Tom?
232
No, why?
233
He got fired.
234
Why? Because he...
235
They all breath -out tested them. On Monday?
236
and He still had alcohol in his system.
237
from the weekend.
238
- And they fired him.
239
- Yeah, and they fired him.
240
Yeah, so he doesn't-- Yeah, because he's the only one that had alcohol in his system.
241
What's in my book in there?
242
Thank you.
243
I know, so now he doesn't have a job.
244
Oh my god.
245
Oh no What's the date today?
246
Five, six, two.
247
- 'Cause I'm like, you dickhead.
248
- You dickhead.
249
- I'm so sorry.
250
Like yeah, April Fools dude, you got her.
251
She believed that her son was unemployed for a second and got really stressed.
252
Like, huh?
253
Good one.
254
I fucking hate April Fools in general too because it's like just
255
because the first day of April you have to fuck with me?
256
"Please don't fuck with me." But speaking of fucking with me, do you guys fuck with me?
257
'Cause if you do, I would really appreciate it if you subscribed.
258
We have actually all been working together to beat MrBeast's subscriber count as it's due exclusively to misogyny
259
that he has more subscribers than I do.

261
#SharksBiteBeasts.
262
Thank you.
263
There was a prank trend that went really viral a while back where parents were cracking eggs on their kids' foreheads.
264
- And I crack one egg.
265
- Yes boy.
266
- Hey!
267
Stop.
268
Okay.
269
Okay.
270
Thank you.
271
One, two, three Those are very nice.
272
That wasn't very nice.
273
- Thank you to you.
274
Okay.
275
Like why are we hitting our kids?
276
It's just so fucking sad and mean.
277
Like I'm sure you've gone out of your way to teach your child
278
that they're not supposed to hit other people
279
and then you hit them in the face and they're supposed to like understand the difference there.
280
It's just cruel.
281
Like it's just so fucking mean.
282
Obviously I blur kids faces on my channel.
283
I'm not showing kids, but like
284
so many of them literally just like lose all of the like happiness immediately
285
that they were having from cooking with their parents.
286
Like so many of them were very clearly excited to help in the kitchen
287
and then they just got hit in the fucking face with a super hard object
288
and then got laughed at by the person who's supposed to keep them safe.
289
I know it isn't supposed to be that deep but it is that deep.
290
Some of these kids are so little too and
291
when I say there were like thousands and thousands of videos of parents doing this I am not exaggerating.
292
It is insane.
293
I've also seen a lot of accounts on social media where they do pranks on the general public and it's just harassment.
294
"Spraying people with water prank." What the fuck?!
295
like just so fucking annoying dude and also what
296
if one of the women down there was one of the mermaids from the hit show h2o just add water
297
and now she has to go jump in the ocean before she transforms in front of everybody
298
because you got water on her but you didn't think of
299
that though did you no you didn't think at all or there's this guy who said my favorite night activity
300
Thank you.
301
you Not
302
to be a fucking narc, and this whole video may be just me being the fun police, but that's assault.
303
Throwing liquid on a person is assault.
304
You can't just do that.
305
This looks Bill, fucking stop.
306
Oh my God.
307
And there's this one where he says, throwing water balloons at strangers.
308
That's just so fucking annoying.
309
It's also like nighttime in the last one too.
310
Like, why are we throwing things at people in general?
311
Just leave people alone.
312
The general public did not consent to be in your stupid fucking prank.
313
I'm gonna genuinely lose my sanity if I watch any more of these fucking videos, dude.
314
They genuinely rage bait me so bad.
315
I don't know why you guys forced me to do this.
316
me to do this topic.
317
You guys, that was really mean.
318
But there are pranks that I do like though.
319
I genuinely enjoy like harmless pranks that are just stupid.
320
Like this one the butt of the joke, nobody's day is ruined, nobody's humiliated, and most importantly, nobody's sticky.
321
All right guys, I'm gonna call it right there.
322
For more videos, check out my second channel, Brooksharks Bites, where I post beauty and lifestyle content.
323
A lot of you guys comment asking if I have a makeup or hair tutorial, and I do on my second channel.
324

325
You can also follow me on Instagram and TikTok, and you can join my Patreon.
326

Perché praticare il parlato con questo video?
Praticare il parlato attraverso video come questo è un metodo efficace per migliorare la pronuncia inglese e sviluppare la fluidità nella conversazione. Il video di Brooke esplora un tema controverso, permettendo agli studenti di ascoltare espressioni quotidiane e linguaggio colloquiale. Essere esposti a conversazioni reali aiuta a comprendere non solo il linguaggio, ma anche il contesto culturale. Un aspetto importante è la capacità di cogliere le sottigliezze delle emozioni e delle reazioni, che sono fondamentali per una comunicazione efficace. Attraverso questa pratica, puoi potenziare il tuo shadow speech e affinare le tue abilità di pratica di conversazione in inglese.
Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto
- Frasi colloquiali: L'uso di espressioni come "like" e "you know" è comune nel parlato informale. Brooke impiega queste frasi per creare un tono conversazionale, rendendo il discorso più accessibile.
- Uso del presente continuo: Espressioni come "are willing to do" descrivono azioni in corso e possono essere utili per parlare di intenzioni future o piani immediati.
- Domande retoriche: Domande come "Is there a door dasher?" sono utilizzate per coinvolgere l’ascoltatore e rendere il dialogo più dinamico, un ottimo strumento per migliorare la tua interazione.
- Frasi negative e sarcasmo: Frasi come "I hate pranks" indicano emozioni forti e il sarcasmo, che possono apparire in conversazioni più informali; sono elementi chiave da osservare e praticare.
Trappole comuni di pronuncia
Uno degli aspetti più interessanti di questo video è la pronuncia informale. Alcune parole possono essere insidiose, come "prank", che viene pronunciata in modo veloce e colloquiale. Anche la parola "dumbass" può causare confusione per la sua pronuncia mista di suoni “a” e “u”. Inoltre, l'accento e la velocità di Brooke possono rendere difficile seguire il discorso per chi sta imparando l'inglese con YouTube. È utile fare attenzione a queste pronunce e tentare di ripeterle, come parte della tua pratica di shadow speech. Se hai difficoltà con queste parole, ti consiglio di fermare il video e riprodurlo lentamente per affinare la tua pronuncia.
Ricorda che l'obiettivo è immergersi nella lingua e praticare in modo costante; ogni video ti avvicina al tuo obiettivo di migliorare la pronuncia inglese e diventare un parlante più sicuro.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|

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.
