Let me put this another way, miss.

130
and - Hideously embarrassed, I suddenly noticed it.
131
Two of my nails were chipped.
132
My perfect nails.
133
Not so perfect anymore. Who?
134
Is the idiotic pea -brained buffoon who crashed into me?
135
Oh, come on.
136

137
In the cafeteria?

141
Hey, calm down, weirdo.
142
What's the matter with you?
143
and the perfect house and the perfect boyfriend.
144
And if my name wasn't Olivia, it would have been perfection.
145

146
Now I'm here, in this stupid school, looking like some hobo with chipped nails!

And then, I started crying uncontrollably.
150
I could barely breathe.
151
having a panic attack.
152
Give her some space guys.
153
Hey Olivia, look at me.
154
You're gonna be okay.
155
Just breathe.
156
So yeah, I lost my mind.
157
You helped me calm down and brought me to your workplace.
158
I had to.
159
You were in shock and clinging to my arm like a python.
160
And now you know my whole story.
161
You're probably thinking, look at this whiny rich girl who lost some money and can't handle it.
162
But it's not just that.
163
I never realized before that my entire life was so fragile.
164
I just never put his hand on mine.
165
I wasn't thinking that.
166
You've been through a lot, and I'm sorry.
167
Thanks.
168
By the way, how tall are you?
169
Six feet four inches.
170
No wonder I've been feeling so tiny all day.
171
My life still sucked, but it sucked a little less now that I had a friend.
172
Jackson was so different from any of the guys I'd known.
173
He didn't talk about sports cars or the newest smartphones or the best companies to invest in, but he taught me how I could cut out grocery coupons from newspapers,
174
He got me a waitressing job at the cafe and covered up for my mistakes.
175
He lived in a tiny, run -down house with his mom and three younger sisters.
176
And even though they didn't have much, I was always made to feel welcome.
177
One day at the park, while Jackson was feeding the ducks with his sisters, I accidentally knocked over his backpack and a sketchbook fell out.
178
I opened it to find the most amazing comic drawings.
179
I leafed through the pages and found a sketch of me.
180
And then another?
181
And then another?
182
What do you think you're doing?
183
I'm sorry, it just fell out.
184
Jackson, you're so talented.
185
It's just a silly hobby.
186
Do you apply to an art school?
187
In case you haven't noticed, I'm poor.
188
I have to work right out of high school.
189
But you're too good to not take this seriously.
190
You have to - Can we please not talk about this?
191
Okay.
192
And I didn't make your sketches because I have a crush on you or something.
193
You're just a new, interesting face.
194
Does interesting mean the same as pretty?
195
Not necessarily.
196
So you don't think I'm pretty?
197
You're not not pretty.
198
And what is pretty anyway?
199
There's no set standard.
200
Shut up, Jackson.
201
You said Olivia's the prettiest girl you've ever met.
202
No, I didn't.
203
I said Bolivia has the prettiest girls.
204
That I've never met.
205
He wrote a poem in his diary about your eyes being blue as cornflowers.
206
And what was the next line, girls?
207
I could stare into those sapphire lakes for hours.
208
You see what I mean?
209
I need to earn money to put them all in a mental institution.
210
I couldn't stop laughing as he chased the girls away
211
and I felt a warm tingle in my toes at the thought that maybe Jackson liked me.
212
A few weeks later, we were sitting in the cafeteria when I got an email alert on my phone, and Jackson noticed my face fall.
213
What's wrong?
214
Oh, it's just that witch Penelope.
215
She's hosting her grand annual Halloween party, and I guess she just forgot to take me off the invite list.
216
Forget I mentioned it.
217
Okay, then.
218
So, my mom's making her famous shepherd's pie this weekend, and she thinks I don't know what the secret ingredient is.
219
I think I want to go to the party!
220
What?
221
Why?
222
Because I.. well...
223
I want revenge!
224
Penelope and all these people hurt me, and I want to hurt them back!
225
What would you even do?
226
I don't have it all planned out, but I want to ruin our stupid party because it means a lot to her and her stupid friends.
227
And you should come with me.
228
No, and you shouldn't go either.
229
You'll get in trouble.
230
It's Halloween.
231
We'll be in costumes.
232
No one will recognize us, and we won't be there for too long.
233
And Penelope will have the best food.
234
I'm certain she's stolen my caterer.
235
I don't know.
236
Please, I need this, and I don't want to go alone.
237
All right, the food better be good.
238
part of town and walked the last few blocks to Penelope's house.
239
No one's gonna recognize me, right?
240
You're dressed like an evil eggplant.
241
It's very unlikely.
242
You look good as a tree.
243
Very tall and leafy.
244
Now you remember the plan, right?
245
Right.
246
Make as many things go wrong as possible.
247
Am I forgetting anything?
248
Nope, that's the whole plan.
249
Let's go.
250
Penelope's place was swarming with guests
251
and no one paid much attention to us as we slipped in and we got down to our mission right away.
252
smashed some carved pumpkins.
253
We locked up the kitchen doors, and we threw the keys in the swimming pool.
254
Where did all the balloons go?
255
I ordered 500 of them.
256
People, watch where you're going.
257
You're smashing the pumpkins and walking into the cobwebs.
258
And where are all the waiters?
259
Why is there no food?
260
As Penelope stormed off towards the kitchen, Jackson and I high -fived.
261
Should we go now?
262
Oh, no. This was just a warm up.
263
Penelope always has a surprise celebrity singer perform at her Halloween parties.
264
And I know this time it's Harry Styles!
265
We have to wreck his concert!
266
It'll drive her crazy!
267
No, that's going too far.
268
Someone will catch us.
269
Can you stop being such a scaredy -cat?
270
Just tell me if you're in or out.
271
Olivia, I think I'm out.
272
And then he actually left.
273
Fine, I'd finish the job myself.
274
I ran off to the back of the house where I knew all the power supply boards would be.
275
I spotted a toolbox nearby, picked up a plier, and started snipping away at every wire.
276
I wouldn't let this concert happen.
277
I'd ruin the whole party.
278
Everyone would remember it as the worst Halloween ever.
279
Just then, I saw a figure emerge from the shadows.
280
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
281
I flung the pliers to one side and started running for my life across the garden.
282
slowing me down.
283
And suddenly, I found myself being pushed forward and pinned to the ground.
284
When the person chasing me turned me over, I saw that it was-- Chad?
285
How do you know my-- oh my god, Livy?
286
Is that you?
287
Why are you an eggplant, actually?
288
What are you doing here?
289
I could ask you the same question.
290
My whole life blew up, and you couldn't send a text, but you made sure you didn't miss Penelope's party?
291
Listen.
292
Just then, a pretty girl I'd never seen before came running behind us.
293
Babe, are you okay?
294
Who's this creep?
295
I'll call security.
296
No, don't.
297
There's been a misunderstanding.
298
Babe, is that what she just called you?
299
Who are you, and why are you dressed up like an eggplant?
300
Because Baba Ganoush is my favorite dip.
301
Not that it's any of your business.
302
I pushed Chet away and stormed off, tears pouring down my face.
303
I just made it a few blocks down when I ran into a tree.
304
I'm so sorry.
305
I shouldn't have left you behind.
306
I came back.
307
Now let's go destroy Penelope.
308
here was a stupid idea.
309
Let's just go home, Jackson.
310
I felt more crushed and betrayed than ever.
311
I was busy sulking in bed the next day.
312
When mom called me saying I had a visitor, I walked out into the lounge to see it was Chad.
313
"Mom, why did you let him in?" "You should hear him out, honey." Mom left the room and Chad hesitantly sat down next to me.
314
"Is it okay if I sit here?" "You're already sitting here and no, none of this is okay.
315
In fact, this is giving me a fuzzy flashback to when you were heart bench.
316
Wait, wait, it's all coming back to me now.
317
Yes, there I am with my bleeding toes and broken shoe.
318
And yep, that's you, walking away after breaking my heart.
319
You have every right to be mad.
320
I was such a fool, Livy.
321
I thought I was doing the right thing.
322
Long distance relationships are so hard.
323
I just panicked.
324
I know what I did was awful, but I swear, I never stopped thinking about you.
325
Just long enough to meet that blonde twig who called you babe?
326
She was just my date for yesterday.
327
I don't care about your love life, but what I'm really angry about is...
328
I know, your dad.
329
I wanted to reach out to you, but my dad forbade it.
330
He's one of the investors in your dad's company.
331
He feels betrayed by what your father did.
332
I expected his friends to believe that.
333
The evidence against him is too strong.
334
You've gotta face facts.
335
He committed a crime, but I'm sorry you're also paying the price.
336
I asked around about you after we met yesterday, and I couldn't believe you're living in this neighborhood now.
337
For the first time, the thought crossed my mind that maybe Dad was the one who was wrong, and I burst into tears.
338
Chad hugged me.
339
"I'm in town for a few weeks, and I'm gonna try to get Dad
340
and the other investors to go easier on your dad with his prison sentence." You'll really try?
341
I can't promise anything, but I'll try my best, Livy.
342
I walked Chad out of the apartment building, and as I was going back in, Jackson suddenly popped up!
343
So, who was that guy with enough gel in his hair to set all the cheesecakes in America?
344
That was Chad.
345
Chad?
346
Like your ex -boyfriend Chad?
347
Like the guy who broke up with you on a park bench Chad?
348
Yes, that Chad!
349
That's such a stupid name.
350
Chad is a country.
351
Isn't Jackson a city?
352
Not the same thing.
353
What was Chad doing here?
354
Offering to help me?
355
Why would you trust him?
356
Because he's the only shot I've got at helping dad.
357
Chad started turning up almost every day.
358
And even though I hadn't forgiven him for the way he'd broken up with me, I could see he really regretted it.
359
He was extra attentive.
360
He seemed to remember all my favorite pastries and perfumes
361
and never came without a gift but when he'd take me for drives around the city, I almost felt like my old self again.
362
One afternoon as I was leaving school, Jackson caught up with me.
363
Wanna go to the park today?
364
Nah, I'm tired.
365
How about you come to my place tomorrow?
366
My annoying sisters miss you.
367
I have a thing.
368
A Chad thing, right?
369
Look, it's none of my business, except as your friend, I would advise you not to date Chad again.
370
We're not dating.
371
We're just meeting up to discuss Dad's case.
372
And what's the progress on that?
373
He's working on it.
374
Okay then.
375
Enjoy your "thing" tomorrow.
376
Don't do those dumb air quotes.
377
It's not a date.
378
Why don't you come with me?
379
We're just going to an art exhibition and then having dinner.
380
Sounds like a date.
381
It's not a date, you giraffe.
382
Join us.
383
Chad won't mind.
384
Chad didn't look too happy either, and I could see the way he looked Jackson up and down disapprovingly.
385
But things got worse in the art gallery.
386
Wow, what a stunning piece of art.
387
Holy mother of noodles.
388
That's for $50 ,000.
389
It's a picture of a rotting apple.
390
It shows the complexities and slow ruin of postmodern society.
391
Dude, it's an ugly apple.
392
I could draw this with my left foot in my sleep.
393
- And you're even more-- Chad, he's an artist too.
394
And he's your guest, so be nice, okay?
395
I thought I'd manage the situation, but it got worse over dinner.
396
Chad had just raised his glass and was about to say something when Jackson exclaimed, - Oh no, Grandma ran away from my aunt's house.
397
She climbed out of a third -story window and fell.
398
Oh my god, is she okay?
399
My sister is just updating me.
400
Yeah, she survived the fall, but then she went out to the lake on a paddle boat and fell in the water.
401
What?
402
Did she drown?
403
Okay, no. Apparently, she's a very good swimmer.
404
But then she went to a diner and choked on her food.
405
Is she still alive?
406
Phew, thankfully yes.
407
Someone in the diner performed the Heimlich maneuver on her, but she's in the hospital for a mild concussion.
408
Can we leave early so I can see her? Of course!
409
You can leave now.
410
I'll call you an Uber.
411
I can stay for the main course.
412
We'll skip dessert.
413
Anyway, before I was interrupted, I was about to make a toast to us, Livy.
414
Friendship, much like the delicate petals of a rare flower, unfurls its beauty only to those who possess the refined senses,
415
to savor its exquisite fragrance amidst the mundane garden of existence.
416
That's lovely.
417
Uh, I'm sorry.
418
What does that even mean?
419
Excuse me?
420
Why do you think it's cool to say vague nonsense?
421
Friends don't treat friends the way you've treated Olivia in the past.
422
Can't you be honest about anything?
423
Why don't you start with her and tell her you don't actually have any plans to help her?
424
You want honesty?
425
I think you're a worthless piece of trash.
426
Before I knew it, Chad had attacked Jackson, and they were in a full -scale fight, bumping into waiters and falling onto tables.
427
Several people managed to pull them apart, and I dragged Jackson outside.
428
What were you thinking?
429
He attacked me.
430
You provoked him.
431
a tall, angry windmill, so I keep it in and stay calm mostly.
432
But I'm mad right now.
433
How can you even stand that pretentious windbag?
434
Because he belongs to my world.
435
This is the life I had before.
436
You go to stupid exhibitions and talk about trivial things over food and laugh at dumb jokes, and you didn't even give him a chance.
437
You were determined to hate him just because he's a rich guy.
438
Is that what you really think of me?
439
You know what?
440
I'm the problem here.
441
I don't belong in your Jackson walked off, and my heart sank.
442
He wouldn't even reply to any of my texts or calls later, and he avoided me in school entirely.
443
A few days later, Chad asked me to come over to his place to have a talk with his dad, and I arrived early.
444
As I walked towards the study, I suddenly heard raised voices, and I stopped outside.
445
That girl is really coming here right now?
446
Chad, what is the matter with you?
447
Look, Dad, when you told me that you
448
and the other investors were making a fake case against her father to get control of his company,
449
up with Livy and left because you didn't want me to be associated with her after her dad got a bad reputation.
450
But I didn't realize Livy and her mom would have everything taken away from them.
451
What else did you think was gonna happen, son?
452
I don't know.
453
I just thought the dad would go to jail and we'd be richer.
454
It's not fair.
455
She lives in a dump now.
456
And how are they supposed to afford shampoo and makeup and all the creams and serums they use?
457
Just lie to her and say you're working on getting her dad out of jail sooner so she feels better.
458
And maybe we can give her some money every month.
459
Fine, my son is such a philanthropist.
460
Don't get serious about her again though.
461
Dad, I'm 18.
462
I'm not serious about anyone.
463
I'm leaving in two weeks anyway.
464
I've just been nice to her because she was never very tough and I feel sorry for her.
465
I stepped away quietly, blood pounding in my head.
466
I felt fury beyond anything I'd ever felt in my life.
467
I texted Chad that I couldn't come over and I went home and told mom everything.
468
We stayed up half the night trying to think about how we could get proof of dad's innocence.
469
We finally fell asleep exhausted, but the next morning I woke up to Mom's screams.
470
I rushed to the lounge and saw the TV on with the news
471
that Chad's father and all the other investors in Dad's business had been arrested.
472
How?
473
What are they being arrested for?
474
They're saying on the news that some anonymous employee in the company had approached the FBI some time ago,
475
claiming that Chad's father and the other investors framed your dad and are still involved in other illegal activities.
476
I guess they overheard the conversation between Chad and his father that you heard yesterday, too.
477
Dad's lawyer called.
478
He's going to be released tomorrow.
479
Later, I went to Chad's place as it was being sealed by the FBI officers.
480
Livy, it's not what you think.
481
No, only I will talk now.
482
I heard the entire conversation between you and your dad yesterday with my own ears.
483
And I just came to say, I hate you.
484
I despise you with a burning rage of a thousand suns.
485
I wish only bad things to happen to you, and my wish is coming true as we speak.
486
You will lose everything, and you're not even half as tough as me.
487
You will really suffer, and I will dance with joy knowing that.
488
Then I punched his perfect nose and stormed off.
489
Well, actually, I skipped off happily and headed straight for the cafe.
490
I spotted Jackson taking someone's order and ran to him.
491
Jackson, my dad's innocent, and he's getting out of jail tomorrow.
492
Chad's father framed him, and he's been arrested.
493
I'm gonna get my life back!
494
I'm working right now.
495
My shift ends in a while.
496
I can't wait, okay?
497
I can't stand that you're not talking to me, and I know that it's my own fault.
498
I'm sorry I said you were jealous of Chad because he's rich.
499
You were right about everything.
500
He's an obnoxious jerk, and that apple painting was so ugly!
501
Also, if there's anything I've learned, it's that I don't want all of my old life back.
502
I don't want to have fake conversations or fake friends who turn away at the lowest point of your life.
503
I want to have fake conversations or fake friends who turn away at the lowest point of your life.
504
I want to have fake conversations people like you.
505
You literally saved me and I love you for that.
506
Also, you're very tall, which is hotter than you know !" Jackson just stared back at me
507
and then suddenly his sisters burst in with a huge bunch of lavender balloons, a congratulations banner, and a cake!
508
"Are we late?
509
Do you know how hard it is to find lavender balloons?" I dropped a cake on the way.
510
We can scrape off some of the icing.
511
I told you girls, we're meeting at Olivia's place, not here!
512
We heard the news about your dad, and we were coming over after my shift.
513
Even though you were mad at me?
514
I can't stay mad at you.
515
Look, just let me take this customer's order.
516
Just kiss her, you moron!
517
Hey, don't call him a moron!
518
But seriously, just kiss me, dummy!
519
Wait, wait, how's your grandma doing?
520
You wanna talk about my grandma right now?
521
Actually, I don't have one.
522
I made up that whole thing to annoy Chad.
523
I like you even more right now.

Impara l'inglese con "The Beautiful Olivia": una lezione divertente per la pratica di conversazione in inglese
Questo video, una mini-filmato chiamato "The Beautiful Olivia", è perfetto per esercitarti nella comprensione orale e nella pronuncia. Attraverso il dialogo tra Olivia e un altro personaggio, potrai familiarizzare con espressioni colloquiali, toni vari e una narrazione dinamica. Ideale per chi vuole migliorare la pratica di conversazione in inglese in modo divertente!
Parole e frasi chiave da imparare
- Whirlwind: Un turbinio (es. "My life was a whirlwind of glamorous parties" = "La mia vita era un turbinio di feste glamour").
- Cherry on top of the sweet life: La ciliegina sulla torta (es. "The cherry on top was my boyfriend Chad" = "La ciliegina sulla torta era il mio ragazzo Chad").
- Dreamboat: Un sogno (usato per descrivere una persona affascinante; es. "my dreamboat boyfriend" = "il mio ragazzo sognato").
- Cutting-edge: All'avanguardia (es. "cutting-edge algorithms" = "algoritmi all'avanguardia").
- Synergizes: Sinergizza (es. "synergizes complex neural networks" = "sinergizza reti neurali complesse").
Trucchi per la pratica con il shadowing in inglese
Il shadowing è una tecnica efficace per migliorare la pronuncia e l'intonazione. Ecco come usarlo con questo video:
- Ripeti a tempo con i personaggi: La conversazione tra Olivia e l'altro personaggio è veloce e colloquiale. Pausa il video ogni 5 secondi e ripeti le frasi immediatamente dopo, cercando di imitare il tono e la velocità. Questo aiuta a esercitare la shadowspeak in contesti reali.
- Focus sulle espressioni idiomatiche: Frasi come "your guess is as good as mine" (la tua ipotesi è uguale a la mia) o "to hell one day" (un giorno all'inferno) hanno un significato non letterale. Ripetile più volte per memorizzarle e usarle nella pratica di conversazione in inglese.
- Analizza l'intonazione: Olivia passa da un tono entusiasta (quando parla della sua vita ricca) a uno ironico (quando racconta il incidente con la scarpa). Imita questi cambi di tono per rendere le tue frasi più naturali.
Per approfondire, usa un shadowing site che ti permetta di controllare la velocità del video e ripetere le parti difficili. Con la pratica, noterai che la tua pronuncia e la tua confidenza nella conversazione miglioreranno!
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Frasi condizionali if + frase, will/would + verbo — una condizione e il suo risultato | if we're meant to be, we'll find · If anyone would help, he would |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | I've accepted · I've been framed · You've been |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | was depressed · was charged · were seized |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | blanket, which was · friends who adored · person who could |
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.
