Rapunzel Once upon a time,
2
there was a girl named Rapunzel.
3
Rapunzel lived in a tall tower in the middle of a forest.
4
The tower had no ladder,
5
no stairs, and definitely no elevator.
6
There was no way to get up or down.
7
So why did Rapunzel live in a tower?
8
Well, it all started with a witch.
9
As you know, witches can be very jealous.
10
They especially hate people stealing herbs from their gardens.
11
Unfortunately, Rapunzel's mother didn't know this about witches.
12
Many years ago, when she was pregnant with Rapunzel,
13
she snuck over the fence and stole some parsley from the witch next door.
14
The witch saw her stealing parsley.
15
She was furious.
16
She gave Rapunzel's mother two choices.
17
Option one, the witch would curse her unborn baby girl.
18
The girl would always be unlucky.
19
She would meet the wrong people and say the wrong things,
20
and wear the wrong clothes for every occasion.
21
She would never live happily ever after.
22
Option 2.
23
On the girl's tenth birthday,
24
she would go to live with the witch.
25
She would be the witch's apprentice.
26
The witch promised that, eventually,
27
the girl would live happily ever after.
28
Rapunzel's mother was heartbroken.
29
She chose option 2.
30
And on the evening of Rapunzel's tenth birthday,
31
the witch came to take her away.
32
She put Rapunzel in the tall tower in the woods.
33
After that, every day was the same for Rapunzel.
34
She cleaned her room at the top of the tower.
35
She braided her long, long hair.
36
And every day at lunchtime,
37
the witch came to the tower.
38
She stood under the window and shouted,
39
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair.
40
Rapunzel threw her braid out of the window.
41
The witch climbed up Rapunzel's hair like a rope and crawled in through the window.
42
The witch taught Rapunzel how to make medicines with herbs,
43
and Rapunzel loved the witch.
44
She was Rapunzel's only friend.
45
One night, Rapunzel was reading a book beside the window,
46
when she heard someone below.
47
Rapunzel!
48
Rapunzel!
49
Let down your hair!
50
That's strange, she thought.
51
The witch never comes this late.
52
She threw her braid out of the window and the person climbed up, up, up.
53
But when this person reached the top,
54
Rapunzel saw that it wasn't the witch.
55
It was a man.
56
Rapunzel quickly grabbed her book and smacked the man in the head.
57
Get out, get out, you're not the witch.
58
The strange man fell to the floor.
59
Oh, ow, stop hurting me, he begged.
60
Who are you?
61
What do you want?
62
Why did you climb my hair?" demanded Rapunzel.
63
I'm Justin.
64
My name is Justin, he whimpered.
65
I came here to…save you?
66
As you can imagine, Rapunzel was not very impressed.
67
Tell me, Justin, she growled.
68
Does it…look…like I need to be saved?
69
Justin sighed.
70
I'm sorry.
71
I thought this was my chance to be a hero.
72
What do you mean?" asked Rapunzel.
73
My chance to be a hero!
74
Every man needs to be a hero at least once in his life.
75
It's the only way to live happily ever after!
76
Rapunzel put down her book.
77
I don't need a hero, she said kindly.
78
Go away.
79
Be a hero somewhere else.
80
It's late.
81
I want to go to bed.
82
Rapunzel threw her braid out the window.
83
Well, can I come back and talk to you tomorrow?
84
Justin asked.
85
You seem nice.
86
Also, I brought a rope for you,
87
in case you change your mind one day.
88
Fine, fine, said Rapunzel.
89
Goodbye, Justin.
90
And Justin climbed out the window and down Rapunzel's hair.
91
The next day, Rapunzel cleaned her room and braided her hair.
92
The witch came at lunchtime.
93
She brought Rapunzel a sandwich and showed her how to make medicine to cure headaches.
94
But as the witch was leaving,
95
she saw Justin's rope lying on the floor.
96
Whose rope is this?
97
Where did you get it?' "'Do you want to escape?' Rapunzel tried to explain,
98
but the witch was too upset.
99
"'I love you like a daughter.
100
Do you really hate me so much that you want to leave?' "'No,
101
there was a man,' said Rapunzel.
102
A man! the witch cried.
103
Fine.
104
Go to him.
105
Go!
106
Tears poured down the witch's face.
107
Go and live happily ever after with this man!
108
The witch threw some magic powder at the floor,
109
and Rapunzel immediately fell asleep.
110
When she woke up, she was not in the tower any more.
111
She was lying under a tree in the forest.
112
Her hair was cut.
113
Rapunzel cried for ten minutes,
114
and then she stood up and decided to look for her tower.
115
Meanwhile, back at the tower, Justin returned as promised.
116
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!
117
He shouted from beneath the window,
118
and the hair dropped down in front of his face.
119
But as I'm sure you know,
120
it wasn't Rapunzel in the tower.
121
It was the witch.
122
When Justin got to the top of the tower,
123
the witch pulled him in through the window.
124
So, you are the man who wants to take my Rapunzel, she said.
125
I see.
126
Well then, go and live happily ever after together.
127
The witch blew a handful of powder into his face,
128
and with that, Justin was blind.
129
After walking all night, Rapunzel found her way home.
130
But the tower was gone.
131
All that was left was a burnt circle on the ground.
132
Oh no! cried Rapunzel, and she fell to the ground sobbing.
133
But then she heard a voice coming from behind some trees.
134
Hello?
135
Is someone there?
136
Can you help me?
137
I can't see.
138
I can't see anything.
139
It was Justin.
140
When Rapunzel saw Justin's blind eyes,
141
she knew what to do.
142
Stay right there, she ordered.
143
Rapunzel ran into the forest to find some herbs.
144
She ground the herbs and made medicine.
145
Then she put the medicine on Justin's eyes.
146
Then she cried again.
147
Please, don't cry, said Justin softly.
148
Why are you crying?
149
My home has gone.
150
My only friend is gone.
151
You are blind.
152
This is a mess.
153
Everything will be okay, Justin said.
154
Then he smiled.
155
Trust me, I'm a hero.
156
For three days, they camped in the forest.
157
Rapunzel made medicine for Justin's eyes.
158
Justin told her about every time he had tried to be a hero.
159
Once he tried to fight a giant.
160
But the giant was very kind.
161
He invited Justin inside for tea.
162
Once he tried to kill a dragon.
163
But the dragon had baby dragons in its nest.
164
Justin couldn't do it.
165
Once he rescued a cat from a tree.
166
But the cat immediately climbed back up.
167
It's really hard to be a hero, he complained.
168
When Rapunzel felt like crying,
169
Justin told jokes until she laughed.
170
When she couldn't sleep, he listened to all her worries.
171
On the fourth day, when Rapunzel woke up, Justin was already awake.
172
He was looking at her with his bright blue eyes.
173
He could see!
174
Thank you, my beautiful friend, he said.
175
You fixed my eyes.
176
Justin and Rapunzel walked to Justin's village.
177
Rapunzel liked it in the village.
178
Justin helped her build a new tower,
179
and this time the tower had stairs.
180
Rapunzel spent her days making medicine for the sick people in the village.
181
Did Justin ever become a hero?
182
Yes, of course.
183
There are many kinds of heroes,
184
but the best and bravest heroes are the ones who help their friends through hard times.
185
And Justin had helped his friend Rapunzel.
186
In the end, Justin and Rapunzel both lived happily ever after.
187
Just as the witch had promised.

Consigli per la pratica

Per ottenere il massimo dal tuo esercizio di shadowing, ricorda di seguire queste linee guida. Prima di iniziare, ascolta attentamente la narrazione per comprendere il contesto e le emozioni. Poi, metti in pratica il shadowspeak ripetendo frasi subito dopo averle ascoltate. Poiché il ritmo della narratrice è moderato, avrai il tempo necessario per articolare correttamente i suoni e le parole.

Incoraggia il tuo orecchio ad abituarsi a diversi accenti e toni; in questo caso, il UK English accent ti permetterà di apprendere le sottigliezze della pronuncia britannica. Se hai bisogno di più tempo, non esitare a mettere in pausa il video, ripetere la frase e poi continuare. L'obiettivo è arrivare a una pronuncia naturale e sciolta, quindi non esitare a dedicare più tempo alle frasi che ti sembrano più complesse.

Utilizzando le tecniche di shadowspeaks, potrai migliorare notevolmente la tua comprensione e pronuncia, portandoti un passo più vicino a una comunicazione fluida in inglese.

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.
