1
Les miserables.
2
What can change a person's life?
3
Punishment or kindness?
4
When someone has made mistakes, should we only remember what he did in the past?
5
Or should we give him a chance to become a different person?
6
In 19th century France, many poor people lived hard and difficult lives.
7
Valjean was one of them.
8
He was a strong young man, but he had very little money.
9
After his parents died, he had to help take care of his sister and her children.
10
One winter, the family had almost nothing to eat.
11
Valjean tried to find work, but there was not enough work for everyone.
12
One night, he saw a bakery with warm bread inside.
13
His family was hungry and he was desperate.
14
He broke a window and took a loaf of bread.
15
He was caught and sent to prison.
16
His punishment did not end quickly.
17
Because he tried to escape several times, his prison sentence became longer and longer.
18
In the end, he spent 19 years in prison.
19
When Valjean was finally released, he was given a yellow passport.
20
It showed that he had been a prisoner.
21
Wherever he went, people saw the passport and refused to give him a room or a job.
22
He was free, but he was not truly accepted by society.
23
He walked for a long time, tired and angry.
24
People had treated him like a dangerous man for so many years
25
that he began to believe he could never become good again.
26
One evening, he arrived in the town of Dean.
27
He asked several people for food and a place to sleep, but they refused him.
28
At last, someone told him that he could go to the home of Bishop Mariel.
29
The bishop welcomed him into his house.
30
He gave Valjean warm food, a bed, and a safe place to sleep.
31
Valjean was surprised because he had expected another rejection.
32
That night, however, However, he made a terrible decision.
33
He took the bishop's silver plates and left the house.
34
The police soon caught him and brought him back.
35
They believed he had stolen the silver, but when the bishop saw him, he did something Valjean never expected.
36
Instead of accusing him, the bishop told the police that the silver had been a gift.
37
He even gave Valjean two silver candle holders and said that he should use the silver to start a new life.
38
The police released him.
39
Valjean could hardly understand what had happened.
40
The bishop had every reason to punish him, but he had chosen forgiveness instead.
41
Instead, that moment changed Valjean.
42
He realized that someone had trusted him when everyone else had rejected him.
43
From that day on, he decided to become a better man.
44
Years passed and Valjean created a new identity.
45
He became Monsieur Madeleine, a successful businessman in the town of Montré -sur -Mer.
46
He worked hard, created jobs, and helped poor people.
47
The town became richer because of him.
48
The people respected him, and he eventually became the mayor.
49
But there was one man who never stopped watching him.
50
His name was Javert.
51
Javert was a police officer who believed strongly in law and order.
52
Years earlier, he had worked in the prison where Valjean had been held.
53
Something about Mayor Madeleine made Javert suspicious.
54
The man was strong, quiet, and unusually generous.
55
Javert began to wonder if he was really the former prisoner Valjean.
56
At the same time, another unhappy story was beginning.
57
A young woman named Fantine lived in Montre.
58
She had a little daughter named Cosette.
59
Fantine was poor and alone.
60
Because she needed work, she had left Cosette with a family called the Thanardiers.
61
The Thanardiers owned an inn.
62
They promised to care for Cosette, but they were not kind people.
63
They treated the little girl like a servant and demanded more and more money from Fantine.
64
Fantine worked in a factory owned by Mayor Madeline.
65
She tried to hide the fact that she had a child because she feared losing her job.
66
But someone discovered her secret, and she was dismissed.
67
Without work, Fantine quickly became poorer.
68
She sold her belongings, then her hair, and finally almost everything she had.
69
She only wanted to send enough money to the Thenardiers so that Cosette could survive.
70
Her health became worse, but she continued working whenever she could.
71
One day, Fantine was walking down the street
72
when a man deliberately put some snow down the back of her clothes and laughed at her.
73
Fantine became angry and fought back, and the two of them got into a struggle.
74
Javert arrived and only saw Fantine fighting with the man.
75
He believed that she was causing trouble in the street, so he decided to arrest her.
76
Fantine felt frightened and helpless, because she had already lost her job and her life had fallen into a desperate situation.
77
Mayor Madeline arrived and stopped Javert.
78
He ordered him to take Fantine to a hospital instead.
79
At first, Javert was shocked.
80
His suspicion of Madeline became stronger.
81
Then news came that another man had been arrested.
82
The authorities believed that this man was Valjean, the former prisoner who had disappeared years earlier.
83
Mare Madeline knew the truth.
84
If he said nothing, the innocent man would be sent to prison for the rest of his life.
85
Valjean faced a terrible choice.
86
He had built a new life and had become respected by everyone.
87
If he revealed his identity, he would lose everything.
88
But if he remained silent, another man would suffer for his crime.
89
He could not accept that.
90
He went to the court and revealed that he was Valjean.
91
The truth shocked everyone.
92
He was arrested again, but he managed to escape.
93
Before leaving, he remembered Fantine, who was seriously ill in the hospital.
94
He had promised to find her daughter, Cosette.
95
Fantine died before Valjean could bring Cosette to her.
96
Valjean never forgot his promise.
97
After escaping from the police, he found Cosette living with the Thenardiers.
98
The little girl was poorly dressed and forced to work.
99
She was treated very differently from the Thenardiers' own children.
100
Valjean paid the family and took Cosette away.
101
For the first time in her life, Cosette had someone who truly cared for her.
102
Valjean became like a father to her.
103
They moved to Paris and lived quietly.
104
Valjean wanted Cosette to grow up safely, so he kept his past secret.
105
He knew that Javert was still searching for him.
106
For many years, Valjean and Cosette lived a peaceful life.
107
Cosette grew into a beautiful young woman.
108
Then she met a young man named Marius.
109
Marius came from a family with strong political opinions.
110
He was a serious young man who cared about justice and the poor.
111
His relationship with his grandfather was difficult, and he eventually left home.
112
In Paris, Marius became friends with a group of young students who dreamed of changing France.
113
They believed that poor people deserved a better life.
114
Marius often saw Cosette in a garden.
115
They did not know much about each other at first, but they slowly fell in love.
116
Valjean noticed that Cosette had changed.
117
She was growing up, and her heart was no longer completely centered on him.
118
He did not understand Marius, but he could see that Cosette loved the young man.
119
At the same time, the political situation in Paris became more dangerous.
120
In 1832, people were angry about poverty, inequality, and the government.
121
The students decided to build a barricade in the streets and fight for what they believed was right.
122
Marius joined them.
123
When Valjean discovered that Marius was in danger, he went to the barricade.
124
There he saw Javert.
125
Javert had been captured by the students and was being held as a prisoner.
126
Valjean was given the chance to kill him, but he did not.
127
Instead, he secretly allowed Javert to escape.
128
This was difficult for Javert to understand.
129
In his mind, Valjean was a criminal and criminals were supposed to be punished.
130
Yet the man he had spent years hunting had just saved his life.
131
The fighting at the barricade became worse.
132
Many of the young students were killed.
133
Marius was badly wounded.
134
Valjean found him and carried him away through the Paris sewers.
135
It was a dangerous journey through darkness and dirty water, but Valjean continued because he wanted to save the young man Cosette loved.
136
As Valjean carried Marius through the sewer, Javert eventually found him.
137
Valjean was exhausted and could barely move.
138
Javert could have arrested him immediately.
139
But something inside Javert had changed.
140
He had spent his whole life believing that people were either good or bad, and that the law could clearly separate the two.
141
Valjean had always been a criminal in his eyes.
142
Yet again and again Valjean had chosen to help others.
143
He had saved Fantine's child.
144
He had saved Marius.
145
He had even spared Javert, when he could have killed him.
146
Javert could no longer fit Valjean into his simple idea of justice.
147
He let him go.
148
For Javert, this was almost impossible to accept.
149
His whole life had been built around the belief that the law was always right.
150
If Valjean could be a good man despite breaking the law, then perhaps his own understanding of justice was incomplete complete.
151
Unable to live with this conflict, Javert ended his own life.
152
Meanwhile, Marius survived his injuries.
153
After he recovered, he married Cosette.
154
For a short time, everything seemed peaceful.
155
However, Valjean believed that Marius should know about his past.
156
He told Marius that he had once been a prisoner and had also lived under another name.
157
But he did not explain everything he had done for Cosette over the years,
158
nor did he tell Marius that he had saved his life at the barricade.
159
Marius was shocked when he heard this.
160
He did not know what Valjean had really done in the past.
161
All he knew was that this man had once been a prisoner.
162
Marius began to feel uneasy about Valjean's past.
163
He did not know that he was slowly misunderstanding a man who had once saved his life and had always protected Cosette.
164
In the end, Valjean chose to leave Cosette and Marius.
165
He believed that only by leaving them could they live a peaceful life.
166
Later, Marius learned the truth.
167
He discovered that Valjean had saved him at the barricade.
168
He also learned that Valjean had spent years caring for Cosette and protecting her.
169
Marius finally understood the kind of man Valjean had become.
170
He and Cosette rushed to find him they found Valjean very weak and close to death.
171
Cosette sat beside him holding his hand.
172
Valjean was happy to see Cosette again.
173
He told her about Fantine and explained how he had promised her that he would take care of her daughter.
174
He also told them about the bishop who had changed his life many years before.
175
Valjean died peacefully with Cosette and Marius beside him.
176
Valjean was not a perfect man, but he chose to become a better one.
177
That is the heart of Les Miserables.
178
A person's past does not have to decide his future.
179
Sometimes, one act of kindness can change a life, and that kindness can then be passed on to others.

Perché praticare il parlato con questo video?
Questo video è una vera gemma per la pratica di conversazione in inglese, soprattutto per i principianti. Raccontare storie è un contesto naturale e coinvolgente: la trama di "I miserabili" ti fa immergerti nel linguaggio quotidiano, ma con una profondità emotiva che aiuta a ricordare espressioni e frasi. Inoltre, la narrazione lenta e chiara è perfetta per il shadowing in inglese – puoi ripetere le frasi a tempo con il speaker, migliorando fluenza e intonazione senza stress. Ecco perché è ideale: combina apprendimento grammaticale con pratica attiva, rendendo il processo divertente e efficace.
Grammatica e espressioni nel contesto
Osserva queste strutture chiave nel video, utili per la tua pratica di conversazione in inglese:
- "He had to help take care of his sister": L'uso di "had to" per esprimere un dovere o una necessità. Una struttura base ma fondamentale per parlare di situazioni reali.
- "Instead of accusing him, the bishop told the police...": "Instead of" è perfetto per confrontare azioni. Puoi usarlo per dire cosa fai invece di fare altro (es. "Instead of watching TV, I study English").
- "He became a successful businessman, created jobs, and helped poor people": La congiunzione di verbi nella stessa forma (past simple) per mantenere la coerenza. Una regola semplice ma cruciale per una narrazione chiara.
Trappole di pronuncia comuni
Nel video, alcuni vocaboli possono creare difficoltà – ecco come evitarle per migliorare la pronuncia inglese:
- "Valjean": La pronuncia corretta è "Val-jan" (non "Val-je-an"). Ascolta attentamente il speaker per imitare l'accento francese leggero.
- "Bishop": La "sh" è soffice, come in "shop". Evita di pronunziarla come "s" (non "bisop").
- "Desperate": La "e" finale è silenziosa. La parola si dice "des-per-at" (non "des-per-ate").
Con il shadowing, ripeti queste parole finché non le senti naturali. Un shadowing site può aiutarti a registrare te stesso e confrontarti con il video, ma anche ripetere a mano è efficace! Ricorda: la chiave è la costanza – anche 10 minuti al giorno fanno la differenza.
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 he revealed his identity, he would lose · if he remained silent, another man would suffer |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | was caught · was finally released · had been held |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | man who never · someone who truly · man who cared |
| Past continuous was/were + -ing — un’azione in corso in un momento del passato | was beginning · was walking · was causing |
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.
