10
Honey's house!
11
What is this girl to Honey's house?
12
Once upon a time, there was a little old lady who was not afraid of anything.
13
One windy afternoon, the little old lady left her cottage
14
and went for a walk in the forest to collect herbs and spices, nuts and seeds.
15
She walked so long and so far that it started to get dark.
16
There was only a sliver of moon shining through the night.
17
The little old lady started to walk home.
18
Suddenly, she stopped.
19
Right in the middle of the path were two big shoes.
20
And the shoes went, clomp, clomp.
21
Get out of my way, you two big shoes!
22
I'm not afraid of you,
23
said the little old lady.
24
On she walked down the path.
25
But behind her she could hear two shoes go, Clomp!
26
Clomp!
27
A little farther on the little old lady stumbled into a pair of pants.
28
And the pants went, Wiggle!
29
Wiggle!
30
Get out of my way, you pair of pants.
31
I'm not afraid of you,
32
said the little old lady.
33
And she walked on.
34
But behind her, she could hear.
35
Two shoes go, clomp, clomp.
36
And one pair of pants go, wiggle, wiggle.
37
Farther still, the little old lady bumped into a shirt.
38
And the shirt went, Shake!
39
Shake!
40
Get out of my way, you silly shirt!
41
I'm not afraid of you,
42
said the little old lady.
43
And on she walked, a little bit faster.
44
But behind her she could hear,
45
Two shoes go clomp, clomp.
46
One pair of pants go wiggle, wiggle.
47
And one shirt go shake, shake.
48
A little ways on, the little old lady came upon two white gloves and a tall black hat.
49
And the gloves went clap, clap.
50
And the hat went, nod, nod.
51
Get out of my way,
52
you two white gloves and you tall black hat!
53
I'm not afraid of you, she said.
54
And on she walked, just a little bit faster.
55
But behind her she could hear.
56
Two shoes go, clomp, clomp.
57
One pair of pants go wiggle wiggle.
58
One shirt go shake shake.
59
Two gloves go clap clap.
60
And one hat go nod nod.
61
By now the little old lady was walking at quite a fast pace.
62
She was very near her cottage when she was startled by a very huge,
63
very orange, very scary pumpkin head.
64
And the head went, Boo!
65
Boo!
66
This time the little old lady did not stop to talk.
67
She did not stop at all.
68
She ran.
69
But behind her she could hear.
70
Two shoes go.
71
Clomp.
72
Clomp.
73
One pair of pants go.
74
Wiggle.
75
Wiggle.
76
One shirt go.
77
Shake.
78
Shake.
79
Two gloves go.
80
Clap.
81
Clap.
82
One hat go, nod, nod.
83
And one scary pumpkin head go, boo, boo.
84
The little old lady did not look back.
85
She ran as fast as she could
86
and didn't stop to catch her breath until she was safe inside her cottage with the door locked.
87
She sat in her chair by the fire and she rocked and she rocked.
88
It was so quiet in her cottage before the knock knock on the door.
89
Should she answer it?
90
Well, she was not afraid of anything.
91
So she went to the door and opened it.
92
What do you think she saw?
93
Two shoes go clomp, clomp.
94
One pair of pants go wiggle, wiggle.
95
One shirt go shake, shake.
96
Two gloves go clap, clap.
97
One hat go, nod, nod.
98
And one scary pumpkin head go, boo, boo.
99
I'm not afraid of you,
100
said the little old lady bravely.
101
What do you want anyway?
102
We've come to scare you.
103
You can't scare me, said the little old lady.
104
Then what's to become of us?
105
The pumpkin head suddenly looked unhappy.
106
I have an idea, said the little old lady.
107
She whispered into the pumpkin's ear ear.
108
The pumpkin had nodded and its face seemed to brighten.
109
The little old lady said goodnight,
110
closed the door and whistled on her way to bed.
111
The next morning she woke up early.
112
She went to her window and looked out into her garden.
113
And what do you think she saw?
114
Two shoes go clomp clomp.
115
One pair of pants go wiggle wiggle.
116
One shirt go shake shake.
117
Two gloves go clap clap.
118
One hat go nod nod.
119
one scary pumpkin head go and scare all the crows away.
120
The little old lady was able to find something useful for all of her new friends to do.
121
Everyone likes to feel needed, don't they?
122
I hope you enjoyed our story today.

Perché praticare la conversazione con questo video?

Il video "La vecchietta che non aveva paura di niente" offre un eccellente contesto per praticare la lingua inglese. La storia è divertente e coinvolgente, rendendola ideale per gli studenti che desiderano migliorare le loro abilità di conversazione. Interagendo con il contenuto, gli studenti possono esercitarsi a pronunciare frasi in modo naturale e fluido, ascoltando anche come i madrelingua esprimono emozioni e reazioni. Utilizzare storie interattive come questa rappresenta un modo efficace per imparare l'inglese con youtube, migliorando la comprensione orale e la pronuncia attraverso la tecnica shadow speak.

Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto

In questo video, ci sono alcune strutture grammaticali e frasi chiave che possono essere utili per gli studenti. Ecco alcune delle più importanti:

  • Condizionale: La frase "I'm not afraid of you" mostra l'uso del presente semplice per esprimere stati d'animo e atteggiamenti.
  • Imperativi: Frasi come "Get out of my way!" evidenziano la forma imperativa, utile per dare comandi o istruzioni.
  • Descrittori: Parole descrittive come "big", "silly" e "tall" sono perfette per migliorare il vocabolario degli studenti, ampliando le loro capacità di descrivere oggetti e situazioni.
  • Onomatopee: Le espressioni sonore come "clomp, clomp" e "wiggle, wiggle" dimostrano come il linguaggio possa essere giocoso e coinvolgente, aspetto essenziale per shadowspeaks.

Trappole comuni di pronuncia

Durante la visione del video, gli studenti potrebbero incontrare alcune difficoltà di pronuncia. Ecco alcune parole e frasi che potrebbero risultare insidiose:

  • Clomp: Questo termine onomatopeico richiede una pronuncia enfatica per trasmettere il suono dei passi pesanti.
  • Wiggle: La "g" in questa parola può essere difficile per alcuni, richiedendo attenzione per non accentuare troppo il suono.
  • Shake: Fai attenzione a come si pronuncia la “sh”. Assicurati di creare il suono morbido e corretto.

Praticare la pronuncia di queste parole attraverso la tecnica di shadow speak non solo migliora la fluidità, ma rende anche la comunicazione più naturale. Segui il video e prova a ripetere le frasi, prestando attenzione ai suoni e al ritmo.

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.
