1
The story I want to tell you today is a sad one about loving someone who doesn't love you back.
2
And it starts with a game.
3
Mmm.
4
Ah!
5
Oh, no, I hate this part.
6
Hey, Charlie.
7
Yes, Ed?
8
Don't you ever get tired of watching this game?
9
It's not the game I'm interested in, Ed.
10
No, no, no, wait, I'm not ready.
11
Oh!
12
Oh!
13
Ah!
14
Wow.
15
She loves that part, you know.
16
Oh.
17
Oh.
18
All right.
19
What I meant to say was, don't you ever get tired of watching her from a distance?
20
It's getting kind of pathetic.
21
Good morning, Miss...er...thingy.
22
Hello, Mr...Stevenson.
23
I've got it!
24
You're out!
25
Woohoo!
26
Fantastic play!
27
Oh, hello, Ed.
28
Oh, hi, Elsa.
29
Er...well...
30
Well, what?
31
Do you want to go for a stroll by the woods or don't you?
32
Oh...
33
Forget it, Elsa.
34
I assure you, Charlie's attention is elsewhere entirely.
35
But I'd be happy to go for a stroll by the woods with you.
36
Well, I was kind of hoping...
37
Oh...
38
Why not?
39
Yes, let's you and me go for a stroll by the woods.
40
I thought you'd never ask.
41
No, no, no, no, wait!
42
Bye!
43
Bye! And there I was.
44
And Master Nick threw me up in the air and then the paddle swung and wham!
45
And then I flew way, way, way up there.
46
And then I saw Mr. Stevenson.
47
And we chatted for a little while, as we always do.
48
He's such a charming fellow.
49
Hello, Martina.
50
Hello.
51
Erm, Choke?
52
Charlie?
53
Oh, yes, yes.
54
I, er, I was wondering...
55
Yes?
56
Well, maybe you'd like to, with me, that is, go for a stroll by the picnic?
57
A stroll by the picnic?
58
Oh, I mean, go for a river by the woods.
59
I'm sorry, Chucky.
60
I'm afraid I'm quite busy this afternoon.
61
Did you know my parents were genuine silk slippers?
62
Yes, I did know that actually.
63
It's great, isn't it?
64
It's wonderful.
65
See you.
66
Have you ever wondered if your approach might need a little polish?
67
Well, look at Mr Slick.
68
I must say it's the best colour you've had so far.
69
Crisp, vibrant, just the business.
70
Yeah!
71
Hey!
72
Isn't this great?
73
Martina is bound to like me like this.
74
We will be a perfect match.
75
Erm...
76
Would you like to go for a walk by the river with me?
77
Well, the fact of the matter is, Chuckie...
78
Charlie?
79
Charlie, that I'm...
80
I'm engaged to be married to Mr. Stevenson.
81
Mr. Stevenson?
82
The swallow up on the roof.
83
The one with the hat.
84
No, Mr. Stevenson.
85
Oh, that Mr. Stevenson.
86
Well, well, well, well.
87
Engaged, eh?
88
I'm so happy for you.
89
I...
90
I...
91
I...
92
I...
93
I have to go.
94
Oh!
95
Yes!
96
Oh.
97
Oh.
98
Oh.
99
Oh.
100
Yoo -hoo.
101
Good morning, Mr. Stevenson.
102
Oh, good morning, Miss.
103
I'm sorry.
104
I have to admit I never did catch your name.
105
It's Martina.
106
Oh.
107
That's me.
108
I'm Martina.
109
I see.
110
What a silly ball.
111
That's the 14th time she's been up there today.
112
Planning a wedding must be really complicated.
113
I know it's not easy, but now that she's getting married, maybe it's about time you forgot about her.
114
Don't you think?
115
There are other fish in the sea.
116
It's not a fish I want, Ed.
117
It's a ball.
118
That ball right there.
119
Martina.
120
I think it's gone.
121
Did you see it?
122
It has gone.
123
Martina!
124
That's it.
125
She's gone off to marry him.
126
Oh, let's find you another fish.
127
What do you say?
128
I told you, it's not a...
129
I know, I know, Charlie, but it looks like you're not getting the ball.
130
So why not look for something else?
131
Never!
132
Come on, Charlie.
133
You have to stick to the beat.
134
Many years went by and Nick grew up.
135
He got married, and he and his wife had a son called Eric.
136
More years passed, and that seemed to be the end of it.
137
But that's not always how fate works.
138
Take it easy, will you?
139
Hey, don't blame me.
140
This kid's just not getting ahead of it. Where did he go?
141
Charlie?
142
Oh.
143
Oh.
144
He must be around here somewhere.
145
Help!
146
I'm in here.
147
Oh, at last, someone I can talk to.
148
Don't be put off by my appearance.
149
Actually, I'll have you know, my parents were genuine silk slippers.
150
Wait a minute!
151
You're not!
152
Martina!
153
What are you doing here?
154
Chucky!
155
Oh, Charlie!
156
I thought you were married to Mr. Stevenson, off somewhere living happily ever after.
157
Oh, if only.
158
I'm afraid that was just something that never existed anywhere but inside my head.
159
So, what happened?
160
Where have you been all this time?
161
Well...
162
Oh...
163
Whoa!
164
Oh, yoo -hoo!
165
Oh!
166
Oh!
167
Oh!
168
Oh!
169
Oh!
170
And you've been here all these years?
171
That's right.
172
Now I'm old and I'm ugly.
173
Martina, there's something I want to ask you.
174
Why did you never want to go with me for a stroll by the picnic?
175
I mean by the river. With you?
176
Why would I want to go for a stroll with you?
177
My parents were genuine silk slippers, you know.
178
Oh, you'll never change.
179
I'm fine, just the way I am.
180
Oh!
181
Ah, I found it.
182
Charlie's all right.
183
Dear Santa and all his helpers, he's all right.
184
Hey, look at that.
185
I think I...
186
Yes, I do remember this ball.
187
I lost this when I was about your age, Eric.
188
Ew! But, Charlie,
189
what's the difference between you thinking she'd married someone else years ago and her just being here all this time ignoring you.
190
Oh, there's a big difference! Which is?
191
If she had been here all these years ignoring me I would have realized how horrible she is
192
and look for love elsewhere a long time ago.
193
That's exactly what I've been telling you all along.
194
Well, sometimes it takes me a while.
195
And so, after all these years,
196
Charlie had finally learned his lesson. so

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.
