8
I'm sorry guys, but I just can't.
9
It's fine, you don't have to.
10
Stop, Ocean.
11
Come on, Shilpa, stop being such a baby.
12
Yeah, Tara's right.
13
We all do it.
14
It's really not that big of a deal.
15
Yeah, listen to Rania.
16
Come on, just give it one puff and if you don't like it, you don't have to try it again.
17
Okay?
18
I can't.
19
I'm sorry.
20
Chilpa!
21
What in the world are you doing?
22
Just wait until your mother finds out about this.
23
No, it's not what it looks like.
24
I swear.
25
Light us up.
26
Are you calling my mom?
27
Please don't!
28
Luckily for you, it went to voicemail.
29
I wasn't going to smoke it.
30
You have to believe me.
31
To be honest, the only reason I was even considering it was because they were pressuring me to.
32
If friends are pressuring you to do something you don't want to do, they're not really friends, are they?
33
I just started hanging out with them.
34
They're the popular girls at school.
35
All I wanted to do was fit in.
36
Look, Toni, please don't tell my mom.
37
You know how strict she is.
38
She's gonna kill me when she finds out.
39
I have no choice.
40
Your mother trusts me.
41
I have to be honest with her.
42
I have to tell her.
43
If you do that, not only am I gonna be in huge trouble, but she won't let me hang out with them again.
44
Is that such a bad thing?
45
I'm sorry, Sherpa.
46
When your mom gets home, I'm telling her.
47
No, I...
48
Did you convince her not to say anything?
49
I'm dead, Tara.
50
When my mom finds out, I'm literally dead.
51
I mean, it's your word against hers.
52
Maybe your mom will believe you.
53
No, Tony's been with us for almost a year now.
54
My mom knows she's an honest person.
55
Unless we make her not an honest person.
56
Shilpa!
57
Tony, I'm home!
58
Hey, I'm so sorry Mr. Calls earlier.
59
It was such a busy day. And I... Is everything okay?
60
This isn't easy for me to tell you but today when I came home, I saw Shilpa with a few of her friends and uh...
61
Okay?
62
Shilpa, she was about...
63
Mom!
64
You're home!
65
Yes.
66
And uh, Tony was just telling me a story about you.
67
Oh really?
68
Um, maybe she can finish it later, but first have you seen my phone?
69
I can't seem to find it anywhere.
70
Uh, no, I actually just walked in so...
71
Um, Tony, have you seen it anywhere?
72
No, actually, no. Are you sure?
73
I'm sure.
74
Well then, do you mind calling it for me please?
75
Oh, sure.
76
Wait.
77
Is my phone in your purse?
78
What in the world?
79
Were you trying to steal it?
80
No, I wasn't trying to steal anything.
81
Then why was it in there?
82
I don't know.
83
I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding.
84
I mean, Tony wouldn't steal anything.
85
Maybe she confused it with her own phone.
86
No way!
87
Her phone is so old and cracked.
88
Oh.
89
I see.
90
You wanted my phone because you needed a new phone.
91
Silva.
92
I would never do that.
93
Oh.
94
I see what's going on here.
95
Uh-uh.
96
No. Look, when I came home today, Silva was about to smoke a cigarette with her friends.
97
What?
98
She's lying!
99
No, I'm not!
100
That's why I was calling you, and that's why I was trying to tell you when you walked in.
101
She probably put her phone in my purse trying to take attention away from her.
102
Is this true?
103
No!
104
I would never do that.
105
She's just trying to cover it up because she got caught red-handed.
106
What?
107
And you know what?
108
I'm sure this isn't the first time she's stolen something.
109
Has anything else gone missing, Mom?
110
Not that I've noticed.
111
Well then, let's have a look.
112
What?
113
Wait.
114
Mom?
115
Isn't this your bracelet?
116
No. How in the world did that get in there?
117
Buzha, you know me.
118
You know I wouldn't do anything like that.
119
I can't believe you just made up this whole story about my daughter.
120
I really trusted you.
121
But you serious?
122
You can't like...
123
I don't want to hear it.
124
Just go.
125
But you know how much I need this job.
126
Please don't do this.
127
I'm begging you.
128
Go.
129
Now.
130
Okay, cheers.
131
Cheers.
132
To my plan working perfectly and Shilpa still being able to hang out with us.
133
Shilpa, cheers.
134
I'm sorry.
135
Cheers.
136
So, um, your mom wasn't suspicious of anything?
137
Um, I don't think so.
138
Otherwise she wouldn't have dropped me off over here.
139
You guys don't understand how strict she is.
140
I'm sure if she caught me smoking, she'd just ship me off to India.
141
Well, now that no one else is around and we don't have to worry about your maid.
142
Uh, I'm sorry, but I decided not to smoke.
143
I'm not talking about cigarettes, silly.
144
I'm talking about something else.
145
Ooh, give me one.
146
What is that?
147
Something way more fun.
148
I promise you're gonna have the best night of your life.
149
Here you go.
150
You know what, I'm okay, thank you.
151
Come on, don't be such a party pooper.
152
Come on, you guys, it's fine.
153
If she doesn't wanna do it, we should- Don't be quiet, Ocean.
154
We're all here to take care of you.
155
You're gonna be fine.
156
Just try it.
157
You know what, I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
158
I'll be right back.
159
I knew she wasn't gonna do it.
160
She would just try it, she'd probably like it.
161
I don't know what she's so scared of.
162
Maybe if she doesn't know she's trying it.
163
No, no, no, no. Come on.
164
Don't.
165
Oopsie.
166
Now it's a party.
167
Yeah.
168
Guys, I don't feel so good.
169
Don't worry about it.
170
You're fine.
171
No, I can't.
172
Wait.
173
Wait, my mom's calling.
174
Can you please turn the volume down?
175
Stop being such a party pooper.
176
Just have fun.
177
No, but I have to answer.
178
Otherwise you can call her back later finish your drink it'll make you feel better Hey
179
What happens?
180
Oh my gosh, is she okay?
181
How did she get so sick?
182
You gave her half, right?
183
You put a full one in her drink.
184
I didn't know if she was going to drink the whole thing.
185
Sorry.
186
What are we going to do?
187
We need to call an ambulance.
188
Are you kidding?
189
No, wait, then we'll all get in trouble.
190
Then we need to call her mom, at least.
191
That'd be just as bad.
192
Well, we need to do something.
193
Look at her.
194
She's completely out of it.
195
Okay, Ocean's right.
196
We can't wait.
197
You guys just get off my back.
198
I'm trying to think, okay?
199
Why don't we drop her off at a hospital?
200
Look, don't you think people would ask a lot of questions?
201
I don't mean go inside, dummy.
202
I just drop her out out front.
203
On the street by herself?
204
Absolutely not.
205
What better choice do we have?
206
She needs medical attention.
207
We don't have time to talk about this, okay?
208
Help me.
209
Oh my god.
210
What happened to her?
211
Mom? Where am I?
212
Thank God you're okay.
213
I was so worried about you.
214
I don't remember anything.
215
The doctor said that you have drugs in your system.
216
I don't know what happened to you.
217
You used to be such a good girl.
218
And now you are someone completely different.
219
No, Mom.
220
I told them no, I swear.
221
Must have put something in my drink.
222
Right.
223
Just like you weren't smoking cigarettes.
224
I found this in your jacket.
225
No, Mom.
226
It's not what it looks like.
227
My friends were pressuring me too, but I didn't.
228
You have to believe me.
229
I don't believe anything you say anymore.
230
You even tricked me and set up Toni to fire her, didn't you?
231
You need help.
232
That's why I'm gonna be sending you to India to live with your...
233
Wait, no, am I going to jail?
234
I'll let you do whatever you have to do.
235
She needs to be taught a lesson.
236
I won't stop you.
237
What, Mom?
238
Please, you have to believe me.
239
I didn't know I was taking any drugs.
240
Please, I don't want to go to jail.
241
Actually...
242
I know that what you're saying is true.
243
Because she already told us what happened.
244
Go ahead.
245
Sylva didn't know that she took anything.
246
Tara put it in her drink when she was in the bathroom.
247
See, Mom tried to tell you.
248
Yeah, but you were still smoking.
249
And you got Toni fired.
250
Well, actually she wasn't even smoking either.
251
Tara and Rania were trying to pressure her into it, but she didn't want to.
252
And the whole set up with your maid was all Tara's idea, and Shilpa didn't even want anything to do with it.
253
I see.
254
Thank you for clearing that up.
255
Alright, come on.
256
Going downtown with the two other girls, I'm gonna need you to say that again.
257
See, Mom?
258
I told you.
259
I know.
260
But you are still in trouble.
261
You still lied.
262
You should not be hanging out with those girls.
263
And from now on, you are not to see those friends.
264
Do you understand?
265
Trust me.
266
You don't have to worry.
267
Because as Tony told me, if friends are pressuring you to do something you don't want to, then they're not your friends.
268
I'm sorry, Mom.
269
I'm sorry.
270
What?

Consigli per la pratica

Per utilizzare al meglio le tecniche di shadowing in inglese, è fondamentale ascoltare attentamente la velocità e il tono del dialogo. Inizia ripetendo frasi brevi seguendo il ritmo degli interlocutori nel video. Il shadow speech ti permetterà di migliorare la tua pronuncia e il tuo accento. Ricorda di immaginarti nella situazione, come se stessi realmente partecipando alla conversazione: questo ti aiuterà a mantenere l'energia e l'atteggiamento appropriati. Durante questa pratica, fai attenzione all'espressività nell'intonazione: le emozioni dei personaggi possono guidarti a capire meglio come esprimere le tue stesse emozioni in inglese.

Puoi utilizzare shadowing site e risorse online che offrono esercizi simili per migliorare ulteriormente le tue abilità. Quando ti senti più sicuro, prova a registrarti mentre pratichi; questo ti darà la possibilità di rivedere la tua performance e fare aggiustamenti. Shadowspeaks è una tecnica efficace per affinare la tua comprensione dell’inglese parlato e per costruire una connessione più profonda con la lingua.

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.
