The Secret Garden, Chapter 21,
2
Visitors That afternoon, Dr. Craven came to see Colin.
3
He always visited after a temper tantrum.
4
Last night, Mary flew at Colin like a cat, Mrs. Medlock explained as she led the doctor upstairs.
5
She stamped her feet and ordered him to stop screaming.
6
Somehow, she startled him so that he stopped.
7
And today, well, you won't believe your eyes.
8
In Colin's room, he and Mary were talking and laughing over a book.
9
But as soon as they noticed the adults, the two children grew silent.
10
I'm sorry to hear you're ill, my boy, said Dr. Craven.
11
I'm much better now.
12
I'm going out in my wheelchair soon, if the weather is good.
13
I want some fresh air.
14
Dr. Craven sat down next to him.
15
I thought you didn't like fresh air.
16
I don't when I'm by myself, but Mary is coming with me.
17
And so is your nurse, of course.
18
No, I won't need the nurse.
19
Colin sounded like a Raja again.
20
I'm always better when Mary is with me.
21
A very strong boy I know will push my wheelchair.
22
Dr. Craven felt alarmed for a moment.
23
If Colin got well, then the doctor would lose all chance of inheriting Misslethwaite Manor.
24
But Dr. Craven was not a bad man.
25
He wouldn't let Colin run into danger.
26
This boy who's pushing you must be strong, said Dr. Craven.
27
And I must know something about him.
28
Who is he?
29
It's Dickon, said Mary.
30
She was sure that everyone knew Dickon, and she was right.
31
Oh, you'll be safe with him, said Dr. Craven.
32
He's as strong as a moor pony.
33
That afternoon, Dr. Craven did not give any medicine or leave instructions for the nurse.
34
This certainly is a new state of things, he said to Mrs. Medlock as they went downstairs.
35
That night, Colin slept peacefully for the first time.
36
He had been awake for only ten minutes the next morning, when Mary ran into his room.
37
There's that nice smell again, cried Colin.
38
You've been outside.
39
You never saw anything so beautiful, said Mary.
40
Spring has really come. Has it?
41
Colin sat up in bed.
42
Open the window.
43
When Mary opened the window, fresh smells and bird songs came pouring into the room.
44
Lie on your back and breathe deeply.
45
That's what Dickon does.
46
Colin did as he was told.
47
He lay still and breathed in the fresh air while Mary described everything she had seen in the garden that morning.
48
She also told him how Dickon had rescued a newborn lamb whose mother had died.
49
After a while, the nurse brought breakfast for Colin and Mary.
50
When do you think Dickon will come? asked Colin.
51
Soon, replied Mary.
52
And in a few minutes, they heard a crow cawing.
53
That's soot, said Mary.
54
Listen, do you hear a tiny sound?
55
Oh, yes, cried Colin.
56
That's the lamb.
57
Dickon's coming.
58
In a moment, Martha opened the door and announced.
59
If you please, sir, here's Dickon and his creatures.
60
But Colin's behavior did not make Dickon feel shy or awkward.
61
Wild creatures always stared at him until they knew him.
62
He walked over to the sofa and laid the lamb on Colin's lap.
63
The lamb began to butt its head against Colin's side.
64
What is it doing? asked Colin.
65
It wants its mother.
66
I brought it to you a bit hungry because I knew you'd like to see it feed.
67
Dickon knelt by the sofa and took a bottle out of his pocket.
68
Colin watched in amazement, while Dickon fed the lamb and told them how he'd discovered it on the moor.
69
I heard a weak cry, but couldn't find it.
70
At last I spotted a bit of white near a rock.
71
As Dickon talked, soot flew in and out of the window.
72
Nut and Shell made trips to the big trees outside and ran up and down the branches.
73
The captain curled up near Dickon after the lamb fell asleep.
74
The children looked at some of Colin's books, which were full of pictures of flowers.
75
We call that one columbine, said Dickon, pointing to a flower that had a long Latin name in the book.
76
There are big clumps of columbine in the garden.
77
They'll look like a bed of blue and white butterflies when they're blooming.
78
I'm going to see them, Colin said firmly.
79
Mary nodded solemnly.
80
Yes, yes you are, she said.

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.
