Creazione lezione...
1
Can I help you find something?
2
Yes.
3
I would like this in a size 10.
4
Um, unfortunately, all the sizes we have are already on the floor.
5
Rhonda always keeps a special supply for me in the back.
6
Don't you know who I am?
7
No. I am Avery Preston.
8
Probably this store's biggest spender.
9
Oh, I'm so sorry, Miss Preston.
10
This is my first day, but I have certainly heard your name.
11
Well, go find my jacket before it's your last day here.
12
Right away.
13
Did you want me to start a room for you?
14
I don't try things on.
15
If they don't fit, I throw them away.
16
Nina, I didn't know you shopped here.
17
Avery, hi.
18
Um, actually, I really don't.
19
I just, I was just returning something.
20
Are those the shoes I got you for your birthday?
21
Um...
22
Okay.
23
Yes, they are.
24
I'm sorry.
25
I'm returning them.
26
I just...
27
I love them.
28
It's not that I don't.
29
It's just...
30
I couldn't justify having $1,000 pairs of shoes.
31
I don't even have that much in my bank account.
32
You have got to be kidding me.
33
You are returning my gift for cash?!
34
It's fine.
35
Tacky. But fine.
36
Hurry up!
37
I don't have all day!
38
Get me my jacket.
39
No, Chester, I need to know how this happened.
40
I don't care how long it takes.
41
We need to get this thing fixed.
42
Apparently, some of our documents weren't filed properly, so...
43
So.. we may not be going public in two weeks like planned.
44
So what does that mean?
45
It means that the big liquidy event that I've been talking about may not happen.
46
Ben!
47
You said we had a big payday coming.
48
I know what I said, Avery.
49
But things may have changed.
50
Look, I don't know yet.
51
Look, either way, we need to cut down on spending for a little bit.
52
Look, just so we're in the clear.
53
I have spent my whole life pinching pennies.
54
I am not going back there.
55
I'm so sorry, miss.
56
Olivia, are you OK?
57
You're bleeding.
58
Do you have any idea how much those bowls cost?
59
More than your entire paycheck.
60
It was an accident.
61
I lost my grip, and I promise I'll pay you back somehow.
62
With what money?
63
You can't even afford a piece of that bowl.
64
Trust me.
65
Look, we have plenty of dishes, okay?
66
The most important thing is that you're going to be okay, alright?
67
I'm going to go get a Band-Aid.
68
You better not get blood all over everything as you clean up your mess.
69
Nina?
70
Is everything okay?
71
This is my transmission.
72
I think it's done.
73
There goes that thousand.
74
Why don't you just replace the whole thing?
75
I mean, I don't know how you're driving around in this car.
76
It's not by choice.
77
I'm in this car.
78
It's not by choice.
79
You know, not everyone is as fortunate as you.
80
Avery!
81
Oh, I love your purse.
82
It's so chic.
83
I'm so glad I ran into you.
84
Abby's having a birthday party at the end of the month.
85
Bring the girls.
86
It's going to be so much fun.
87
Oh, Destiny and I would love to come.
88
What does Abby want for her birthday?
89
Oh, anything's fine.
90
Lately, though, she has been into the Kylie cosmetics and the MAC makeup, even though I tell her you're too young to wear makeup.
91
But really, don't spend a lot.
92
Okay.
93
That's no problem.
94
I will get her both.
95
Aw.
96
Makeup is one of those great things that you can't return.
97
You know, because some people like to return birthday gifts.
98
Aw.
99
Well, there's Abby.
100
I gotta get going.
101
I'll see you later.
102
I did not appreciate that.
103
You know that I'm struggling.
104
Your little comments, they aren't helpful.
105
I don't know what you mean.
106
What happened to you?
107
Ever since you got all this money, you've changed.
108
Yeah, I've changed.
109
It's called gross.
110
You know that's not what I mean.
111
Avery, we grew up in the same neighborhood.
112
You know what it's like to have nothing.
113
Why are you looking down on me?
114
Look, I am not going to apologize for making it out just because you didn't.
115
And I would appreciate if you don't bring that up in front of people.
116
That is a chapter of my life I've tried hard to forget.
117
Hi, sweetheart.
118
Hi, Mom.
119
Oh, my gosh, we gotta go.
120
I've got that nail pointed.
121
Why do you have greasy hair here, sweetheart?
122
Oh, don't you worry.
123
Go ahead and sit in the car.
124
I'm gonna call somebody to help us.
125
Isaac, why are we stopped here?
126
I'm sorry, Mrs. Preston.
127
The road's blocked.
128
I can't turn.
129
Well, find your way around it.
130
If I am late for my nail appointment, Sally will cancel me.
131
You cannot go another day without a pedicure.
132
What did you do that for?
133
I'm sorry, Mrs. Preston.
134
This woman just jumped in front of the car.
135
I...
136
Mr. Preston.
137
Excuse me.
138
Do you have a death wish?
139
I'm so sorry.
140
I just really needed this bottle.
141
That's all.
142
I think you jumped out in front of the car on purpose.
143
Wanting a payout, I'm sure.
144
Look, I have a job.
145
But I collect bottles for some extra...
146
Wait.
147
Avery.
148
McMahen.
149
It's Brenda Long.
150
From apartment 2C.
151
We used to live right across the hall from each other before Ben's company started.
152
You must have me confused with somebody else.
153
Just watch where you're going next time.
154
You're lucky we didn't hit you.
155
Wow.
156
I'd heard that you had changed a lot since your boyfriend's business took off.
157
Husband.
158
Right.
159
Well, my mom used to say, be nice to everyone on the way up.
160
because you just might have to pass him again one day on your way down.
161
Good one. Who was that mom?
162
A nobody.
163
Isaac, let's get out of this neighborhood.
164
I don't want to be here another moment.
165
Yes, ma'am.
166
Hello, darling.
167
Hello.
168
Earth to Ben.
169
It's over, Avery.
170
What?
171
What are you talking about?
172
The S1 docs didn't get properly filed.
173
Now the IPOs.
174
Wait, wait, can't you tell me in normal people talk?
175
I have no clue what you're saying.
176
We have no money, okay?
177
The company hasn't been profitable in years, and we've been...
178
...living off of our investors' funding, and now that it's all dried up, I was pounding on that public offering.
179
God, now we're broke.
180
We're broke.
181
As in for a couple of weeks, or...?
182
I don't know.
183
It could be a couple of weeks, could be a couple of years.
184
It could be forever.
185
We need to cut out all of expenses immediately.
186
Oh, man, I just let Olivia go.
187
Now I gotta go talk to Isaac.
188
We're gonna have to move out of here. And... And?
189
What?
190
What else?
191
You may need to have to get a job.
192
I cannot believe this.
193
I have spent most of my life worrying about money.
194
And when we got married, you promised me I would never have to do that again.
195
Do you have any idea how humiliating this is going to be for me?
196
Me?
197
Avery Preston?
198
Having to get a job?
199
What are the other moms at school going to say, huh?
200
And where are we even gonna move to?
201
I talked to our old apartment.
202
They said that there's a unit available.
203
What do you want me to do?
204
We failed.
205
You failed.
206
You failed!
207
You failed!
208
Avery.
209
Losing control.
210
Avery!
211
Bring it back to me, me, me Bring it back to me,
212
me, me Bring it back to me,
213
me, me It's making me feel so weak
214
Feeling like a puppet controlled by some strings It's killing me cause I just can't say what I mean
215
And everywhere I go is the wrong place to be.
216
I think I should go home, but I don't know where it is.
217
Bring me back.
218
It's making me feel so weak.
219
Bring me back.
220
Avery.
221
Hi, Brenda.
222
I was just visiting my, um...
223
I ran into Ben this morning.
224
He told me you guys moved back.
225
Go ahead.
226
Rub it in.
227
I'm sure this makes you feel really good.
228
No. Not at all.
229
I'm just sorry about whatever happened.
230
Well, I'm off to my second job.
231
Does it really make a difference?
232
I mean, collecting cans, could you not pay your bills without it?
233
Oh, no, I can pay my bills and stuff like that.
234
I do this so that I can save up.
235
My son, he lives in New York with my mom.
236
I couldn't afford to take care of him,
237
so she offered to help. So it's, um...
238
It's been three years since I've held him, and, um, I do this so that I can buy plane tickets to go see him.
239
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get so emotional.
240
I'll see you later.
241
Brenda, wait.
242
Here you go.
243
Thank you.
244
Mrs. Preston, sorry for your wait.
245
Do you want me to get you a VIP room or a glass of champagne?
246
No, I don't need any of that.
247
Um, I came here because I want to return these items.
248
I'm sorry, I can't quite hear you?
249
I said I want to return these items.
250
Oh.
251
Was there anything wrong?
252
I know you're not one to return something.
253
No, I just...
254
I need the money.
255
Can we make it quick, please?
256
Yeah, right away.
257
I need some new stuff. Is there something funny?
258
It's just embarrassing.
259
You're just one of those people.
260
You probably buy designer clothes just to look rich and then return them.
261
Excuse me?
262
Do you know who I am?
263
I am Avery Preston, this store's biggest spender.
264
Looks like this store is biggest for Turner to me. So tacky.
265
All right, we're all set.
266
Did you want store credit?
267
Could I get cash, please?
268
Just a sec.
269
Hey.
270
Avery, are you okay?
271
Okay?
272
Um, yeah.
273
I will be.
274
What's up?
275
Well, whatever's wrong, I got some news that's gonna change all of that.
276
The company is going public.
277
Do you know what that means?
278
We're rich again.
279
We're rich, baby!
280
Are you sure?
281
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
282
Well, I didn't want to jinx it until it was done, and I just got the confirmation about an hour ago.
283
I'd already broken the lease on our apartment, and I found a spectacular $6 in the hills for us.
284
That's...
285
That's wonderful.
286
I'm sorry.
287
I'm still in shock.
288
Well, look, I know you're still at the store.
289
Why don't you just buy yourself something nice?
290
Shoot, why don't you just buy the whole store, okay?
291
Things are gonna go back the way that they were.
292
This is fantastic.
293
I love you so much, baby, okay?
294
And I'll talk to you later.
295
Alright, here you are.
296
Is there anything else I can help you with?
297
Actually...
298
Hi.
299
Moving out so soon?
300
Yeah, um...
301
Penn's company went public after all.
302
So we don't have to stay in this place anymore, thank...
303
Well, I'm happy for you.
304
At least one of us made it out of this mess, and you did it twice.
305
I'm sorry.
306
I didn't mean to make it sound...
307
I understand.
308
Take good care of yourself, girl.
309
Thanks.
310
Bye.
311
Why don't you go see how you can come.
312
Twenty dollars.
313
Mind if I join you?
314
Avery.
315
Yeah.
316
Go for it.
317
Thanks.
318
So, how have you been?
319
About the same.
320
But no complaints.
321
I heard, uh, Ben's company went public.
322
Congratulations.
323
Thanks.
324
I...
325
I got you a little something.
326
Oh, the gift table for Abby is on the inside.
327
This isn't for Abby.
328
Please, open it.
329
Well, you didn't have to do that.
330
I felt bad that you had to return them, and I felt even worse about what I said.
331
Well, thanks.
332
I mean, I really appreciate it, but I still can't take these.
333
I still feel wrong, Especially when I just spent my whole savings fixing my car.
334
But you don't even know what's inside.
335
I don't understand.
336
I feel terrible about how I treated you, and you were right.
337
I had changed.
338
But I spent the last couple of months walking down memory lane and.. now I remember where I came from.
339
Thank you.
340
Thank you so much.
341
You have no idea how much this is gonna help.
342
Oh, my gosh, yes!
343
It's Kylie's conchetti!
344
Oh, yeah!
345
Hey, you haven't given your gifts yet.
346
I'm guessing that one is from you.
347
Well...
348
She's not gonna be that happy when she sees what I got.
349
Hey, at least you got her something.
350
And you're doing the best you can.
351
And that is all that matters.
352

Perché esercitarsi a parlare con questo video?
Questo video offre un contesto reale e coinvolgente per imparare l'inglese attraverso situazioni quotidiane. Le interazioni tra i personaggi, come il malinteso riguardo a un regalo costoso, offrono opportunità uniche per imparare l'inglese con youtube. Praticare il shadow speech con dialoghi del genere non solo migliora la comprensione, ma aiuta anche a sviluppare la fluidità nella conversazione. Ascoltare come i personaggi esprimono emozioni e reazioni in situazioni sociali è fondamentale per apprendere le sfumature della lingua. Attraverso il shadowspeak, puoi assimilare strutture linguistiche, toni e modi di dire.
Grammatica & Espressioni nel Contesto
Nel dialogo, si possono notare alcune strutture grammaticali e frasi chiave che possono essere utili per i studente di inglese:
- Uso del futuro semplice: "We may not be going public" – Questo mostra come esprimere incertezza riguardo a eventi futuri.
- Esclamazioni: "You have got to be kidding me!" – Un esempio di come esprimere incredulità in modo colloquiale.
- Frasi condizionali: "If they don't fit, I throw them away." – Una struttura che aiuta a formulare condizioni suggerite nella conversazione.
- Discorso diretto: "I can't justify having $1,000 pairs of shoes." – Mostra come esprimere opinioni personali attraverso il discorso diretto.
Queste strutture possono essere efficacemente praticate tramite il shadowing site e aiutarti a migliorare la tua grammatica e fluidità.
Trappole di Pronuncia Comuni
Durante l'ascolto del video, ci sono alcune parole e accenti che possono risultare difficili da pronunciare:
- “kidding”: la pronuncia della “k” e la variazione dell’intonazione possono confondere i principianti.
- “justify”: richiede attenzione alla sillabazione e alla lunghezza delle vocali.
- “pairs”: la s finale può non essere pronunciata chiaramente, il che è comune tra i non madrelingua.
Esercitati a pronunciare queste parole attraverso la pratica del shadowing, che ti aiuterà a migliorare la pronuncia inglese e acquisire maggiore confidenza nelle tue conversazioni.
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.
