Welcome to CAMFUN Courses, Cambridge English for young learners.
2
Today was not a brilliant day, but it wasn't bad.
3
I got up late because I forgot to turn on my phone.
4
It always wakes me up at 7.23.
5
If I don't get up then, Sarah, my older sister, gets to the bathroom before I do.
6
She always gets up at 7.25.
7
And she takes 17 minutes to wash her face, clean her teeth and comb her hair.
8
Oh, sisters!
9
So, today I didn't wash before I got dressed.
10
Oh, never mind.
11
I hope no one sees.
12
Dad was coughing a lot when I ran downstairs.
13
He put salt, not sugar, in his coffee because he was listening to the news on the radio
14
and reading his newspaper at the same time and not looking at his spoon.
15
I had a bowl full to the top of my favourite cereal.
16
Oh, and our fat cat, Sausage, ate a spider.
17
Holly, my little sister, said.
18
Sausage might run faster.
19
Now she's got a spider inside her.
20
My school shirt is pink i've only got one at the moment
21
mum washed it with my red football socks oh i couldn't believe it but pink is such a lovely
22
colour Harry, she said.
23
I don't think my mum understands, boys.
24
There was a new driver on the school bus.
25
When he opened his mouth to ask me for my ticket, I saw that he had three gold teeth.
26
I like making Holly frightened, so I tell her scary story sometimes.
27
I may tell her that the driver locks his gold teeth in a secret box with a special silver key,
28
and a really long snake sleeps around the box with the key in its mouth each night.
29
I love my little sister, but she's difficult to live with sometimes.
30
She broke our old computer.
31
She put a biscuit in the hole where the CDs went.
32
I had to hurry to get to school, but I got there at 8.38.
33
William and Emma, my best friends, were already in the playground.
34
When I was chatting to them about a program I'm using to make a puzzle app, I put my rucksack down next to theirs.
35
Emma's rucksack and mine look the same and yes,
36
of course, I picked up hers when I ran into class No English dictionary,
37
so I had to borrow one No lesson timetable No homework file No phone No geography book But a dinosaur project?
38
some glue, a pair of scissors, some science homework, a picture of an octopus,
39
and some expensive chocolate, gold paper.
40
I ate the chocolate before I gave Emma's rucksack back to her.
41
I shouldn't do things like that, but it tasted delicious.
42
It rained a little at morning break, but I didn't mind.
43
We were playing volleyball, so I took my sweater off, which was hiding my pink shirt.
44
I wanted the rain to change its colour back to white again, but it didn't.
45
It's still pink.
46
In our next lesson, history,
47
a boy called Michael made a noise that sounded like a mouse and whispered to Katie,
48
who called out, A mouse!
49
A mouse!
50
Our teacher, two of the girls, and my friend Richard, jumped on their chairs.
51
I tried not to laugh, but it was really funny.
52
Mr Brush, our school cleaner, came to find it.
53
But he couldn't, of course.
54
When we were playing football in the afternoon break, I kicked the ball so high it went up onto the roof.
55
I climbed up to get it and found three more footballs up there.
56
So we've got four footballs now.
57
Excellent!
58
I was lucky no one saw me on the roof.
59
That's not part of our playground, boys.
60
Mr Rocket, our gym teacher says.
61
The school bus left before I got to the bus stop because William and I were talking about inventions.
62
We want to invent a shampoo that tastes like bananas and socks that always smell like flowers.
63
So I had to walk home today.
64
I didn't mind, but my head and shoulders,
65
shirt, trousers and shoes got really wet because it started to rain again.
66
When my sister Sarah saw me, she said, Well, you needed a wash.
67
I went upstairs to dry my hair and put my jeans and black t-shirt on.
68
My school shirt is still pink.
69
Oh, well, never mind.
70
I'm beginning to like the colour, actually.
71
But I hope Mum washes it for me this evening.
72
then it may not be so pink tomorrow.
73
We had chips for dinner tonight.
74
Mum only lets us have them once a week.
75
I had fifty-two.
76
I counted each one, then Holly gave me five of hers.
77
So I had fifty-seven.
78
Excellent!
79
Hmm, what else?
80
Oh, Sausage came into the house with some plastic false teeth in her mouth.
81
I told Holly that they were great grandmas and that she lost them last weekend when she fell asleep in the garden.
82
Actually, they were some old toy ones that William gave to me.
83
Sausage looks so funny.
84
We couldn't stop laughing.
85
I did my information technology homework tonight.
86
Well, most of it.
87
The Wi-Fi stopped working and I needed to find something online.
88
I might try to finish it tomorrow morning.
89
I practiced on my drums too, so poor mum got a headache again.
90
Okay, my teeth are clean.
91
None of my teeth are plastic.
92
I've got my favourite old pyjamas on.
93
They've got spaceships on them, so they look a bit young.
94
But it doesn't matter.
95
I still like them.
96
What's the time?
97
Ooh, 9.45, and my phone is on, so it knows I must wake up at 7.23.
98
Good night, world.
99
Good night, me.
100
Huh?
101
Oh no!
102
There's a biscuit in my bed!

Obiettivi di parlato per questo video

Questo clip è perfetto per lavorare sulla fluency e sulla capacità di narrare eventi quotidiani in modo naturale. Attraverso il diario di Harry, gli apprendenti possono esercitarsi a descrivere situazioni semplici ma ricche di dettagli, migliorando la connettività tra le frasi e l'uso di tempi verbali come il passato semplice e il presente continuo. È anche un'ottima occasione per praticare il shadowing in inglese: ascoltare e ripetere immediatamente le frasi per imitare l'intonazione e il ritmo, fondamentali per un parlato fluido.

Banca di frasi riutilizzabili

  • "Today was not a brilliant day, but it wasn't bad" (Oggi non è stato un giorno fantastico, ma non è stato male) – per esprimere un giudizio misto su un evento.
  • "I got up late because I forgot to turn on my phone" (Mi sono svegliato tardi perché ho dimenticato di accendere il telefono) – per spiegare una causa e un effetto nel passato.
  • "Oh, never mind" (Oh, non importa) – per minimizzare un problema.
  • "I hope no one sees" (Spero che nessuno lo veda) – per esprimere una preoccupazione leggera.
  • "She takes 17 minutes to wash her face..." (Le servono 17 minuti per lavarsi la faccia...) – per descrivere azioni con una durata specifica.

Correggi i tuoi punti deboli

Il dialogo di Harry aiuta a lavorare su due aspetti cruciali: la pronuncia delle consonanti sorde (come in "spider", "school" o "secret") e il ritmo della frase, con pause naturali tra le idee. Per migliorare, prova il shadow speak: ascolta una frase, ferma il video e ripeterla immediatamente, cercando di imitare il tono e la velocità di Harry. Se vuoi esercitarti di più, usa un shadowing site o semplicemente YouTube: riproduci il video a half-speed, poi a velocità normale, finché non senti che la frase scorre fluida. Ricorda che l'obiettivo è non solo pronunciare bene, ma anche suonare naturale, come un madrelingua. E con questo diario, hai un contesto divertente per praticare: le avventure di Harry e sua sorella sono il modo perfetto per imparare l'inglese con YouTube!

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.
