1
She thinks I'm going to sling back there and apologize.
2
She's got another thing coming.
3
She's not the boss of me.
4
I'm an ogre, and I'm not going to apologize for acting like one.
5
Help me.
6
Help me.
7
Please.
8
Come on.
9
Anyone.
10
Oh, help me.
11
Please help.
12
Please stop.
13
I'm stuck.
14
Oh, help.
15
Oh, please help.
16
Come on.
17
Anyone.
18
Oh, help me.
19
The pain.
20
I can see a bright light in the tunnel.
21
Grandma, is that you?
22
Yeah, it's me, Granny.
23
An ogre!
24
Oh, please, Mr. Ogre, please don't eat me.
25
I'm not gonna eat you.
26
But you are an ogre, aren't you?
27
Yeah, I used to be.
28
Look, move out or get crushed.
29
So you're not gonna eat me?
30
No, thanks.
31
I already had a big bowl of curly -toed weirdo for breakfast.
32
Hey, wait up!
33
Why don't you rush?
34
Where you going?
35
Nowhere.
36
What a coincidence.
37
I was just heading that way myself.
38
But seriously, let me give you a ride.
39
I insist.
40
Come on.
41
There's the least I could do after all you've done for me.
42
I got a hot rat cooking.
43
All right.
44
So can I interest you in a mudslide, smoking tonic, a liquid vibration to ease the frustration, huh?
45
Highballtini?
46
Well, maybe just one.
47
To the center, son.
48
That's not the half I'm talking about.
49
I gotta say, Shrek, I envy you.
50
Live the life of an ogre.
51
No worries, no responsibilities.
52
You are free to pillage and terrorize as you please.
53
Free?
54
Oh, that's a laugh.
55
Yeah?
56
Sometimes I wish I had just one day to feel like a real ogre again.
57
Well, why didn't you say so?
58
Magical transactions are my specialty.
59
Come on.
60
Oh, great.
61
Next to mimes, magicians are my favorite people.
62
Hold on.
63
King for a month, knight for a week.
64
Ogre for a day.
65
Think about it, Shrek.
66
To be feared and hated, you'll be like, rawr!
67
And the village will be like, get away from me, Shrek, I'm so scared of him.
68
It'll be just like the good old days, when you're swamped with your castle when the world made sense.
69
All right, what's the catch?
70
Catch?
71
No. There's no catch.
72
No catchings, really.
73
I mean, there's something, small thing, nothing.
74
All right, I knew it.
75
So what do you want?
76
A day.
77
A day.
78
Ooh, redstone!
79
Well, to make the magic work, you gotta give something to get something.
80
In this case, you gotta give a day to get a day.
81
That's all.
82
I can't just pick up and leave my family.
83
Oh, but that's the best part, Shrek.
84
It's a magical contract.
85
No one will even know you're gone.
86
And by the time this day is up, you are gonna feel like a changed ogre.
87
Still, I don't know.
88
Hey, no problem.
89
Forget it.
90
No big teeth.
91
It doesn't matter.
92
Hey, white meat or dark meat?
93
So what day would I have to give up?
94
Oh, I don't know.
95
Any day, a day from your past.
96
How about the day you had the flu?
97
A day you lost a pet.
98
A day some meddling old sucker's big nose where it didn't belong.
99
Just throwing your heads, it's running your life.
100
Just for an example.
101
Well, how about the day I met Donkey?
102
Now, there's a day I'd like to take back.
103
I don't know who that is.
104
I know.
105
What about a day you wouldn't even remember?
106
Like a day when you were a baby.
107
An innocent, mindless, little baby.
108
Take any of those days you want.
109
Take them all for all I care.
110
Oh, just one will do.
111
Okay, good.
112
A day from your childhood it is.
113
I guess there's nothing wrong with wanting a little time for myself.
114
It's just 24 tiny little hours.
115
I'm still my own ogre.
116
Yeah, you is.
117
I never needed to ask for anyone's permission before.
118
So why start now, huh?
119
Go on, Jack.
120
Sign it.
121
Go on, Jack.
122
Sign it, Jack.
123
Sign it.
124
You signed it.
125
So, tell me, what happens now?
126
Have a nice day.
127
Oh, God!
128
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
129
Whoa!

  3. Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come apologize, rush, castle.

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.
