1
Once upon a time there lived a brother and sister named Hansel and Gretel.
2
Their mother had passed away when they were babies.
3
They lived with their dad in a hut in the forest.
4
Their dad was trained to earn their living by working as a woodcutter
5
and was looking after the kids at the same time.
6
A couple of years passed and struggling to juggle work and two kids at the same time, their dad decided to get married again.
7
The woodcutter's wife was from a wealthy family and she hated the fact
8
that they were poor and she had to live in a small ruined hut deep into the forest.
9
Plus she did not like her step children at all.
10
On a cold winter night, as they were getting ready for bed, Hansel and Gretel heard their stepmother talking to their dad.
11
How are you going to get through this winter?
12
We don't have enough food.
13
If you do not get rid of these kids, we will all starve to death.
14
Their dad opposed furiously.
15
No need to argue.
16
I made up my mind.
17
Tomorrow we'll take them to the woods and leave them there.
18
Hearing all that, Gretel started to cry.
19
Her brother Hansel comforted her.
20
Please don't worry Gretel, somehow we'll find our way back home.
21
Later that night Hansel snuck out and collected as many pebbles as he could in his pockets.
22
In the morning they all started to walk towards the forest.
23
Their father told them that they were going for a family hike.
24
As they were walking, without anyone noticing, Hansel dropped the pebbles to mark the way back.
25
In the afternoon, their dad and stepmother lit a fire and told them that they will be back soon.
26
They walked off and vanished in the woods.
27
Of course, they did not come back.
28
When the night fell, the horrible sounds of all the wild animals in the forest started to echo around them.
29
Shivering with the horrifying sounds of the wolves, Hansel and Gretel did not leave the fireside until the moonrise.
30
Then they started to follow the pebbles shining in the moonlight and walked towards home.
31
Well done Hansel, this was very clever of you.
32
When the kids came back home, their dad was very happy and surprised at the same time.
33
The stepmother also acted as if she was happy, but deep inside her decision was still the same.
34
She was very upset that they were back.
35
After three days, the stepmother tried to get rid of them again.
36
This time at night, she locked Hansel and Gretel's door, and did not allow Hansel to collect pebbles again.
37
But Hansel was a clever boy.
38
When they were walking to the forest in the morning, this time he dropped the breadcrumbs
39
that he had put in his pocket the night before and again made a trail the way back home.
40
Around noon their father and stepmother made up an excuse and went off, leaving them all alone in the forest again.
41
Realising that they were not coming back, Hansel and Gretel wanted to start walking back home before it got dark.
42
But this time, they could not find the trail they left, because all the breadcrumbs were eaten by the birds.
43
Gretel started crying.
44
For the first time, Hansel also felt hopeless.
45
This time the kids were really lost.
46
With no food and scared to death, they wandered around the forest for three days.
47
On the third day, they saw a bird, wide as snow.
48
The bird chirped songs with its beautiful voice for them.
49
They forgot their hunger for a moment and started to follow the bird.
50
The bird brought them in front of a funny looking house.
51
This house had walls of bread, a roof made out of cake and windows of candy and was covered with colourful cream all around.
52
Ansel and Gretel could not believe their eyes.
53
The house looked incredibly delicious.
54
The kids forgot all about how tired they were and started to run to the house.
55
Just as they were both going to have a bite from the house, they heard a voice from inside.
56
Oh, now who is nippling on my house?
57
They looked around and they saw a cute and sweet old lady at the door.
58
When they told her all about what had happened to them, she felt very bad for them and so she let them in.
59
The inside of the house was very different from the outside.
60
It was dark, scary and it didn't feel right.
61
But because they were so tired and hungry, the kids did not care much.
62
The old lady brought all kinds of food and desserts for them and the kids ate food that they hadn't had before.
63
That night, they slept on the softest bed they had ever seen.
64
When they woke up in the morning, the old lady wasn't there.
65
They started to look around.
66
At the end of the corridor, they saw a small door.
67
When they opened the door, they found cases full of gold and treasure inside.
68
They were very surprised of course.
69
Hansel wanted to get in and take a closer look.
70
Right at that moment, they heard her voice again.
71
What do you think you are doing?
72
When they turned around, the kids faced the witch standing right there in front of them.
73
Apparently, the old lady was a witch leading the kids to a dungeon with a house covered with cake and candy.
74
The kids tried to run away but the door was locked.
75
The witch pulled Hansel by the hair and locked him in a cage.
76
Then she dragged Gretel to the kitchen.
77
Your brother is too skinny.
78
Cook some food for him and make him fat.
79
When he's in good shape, he'll be a delicious meal for me.
80
But don't you dare eat anything.
81
All the food is only for him.
82
Having no choice, Gretel did what she asked for.
83
Fortunately, Hansel was a clever and wise boy.
84
He decided to trick the evil-hearted witch.
85
Every night when the witch was asleep, he was digging a hole in the ground of the cage.
86
The witch was controlling Hansel every morning to see if he gained weight or not.
87
But Hansel wasn't eating anything his sister cooked.
88
Instead, he was burying them in the hole that he digged.
89
In the meantime, the witch was telling Gretel to cook more.
90
This went on for days until finally the witch had enough.
91
Fat skinny!
92
I don't care anymore!
93
Today I will make Hansel Pie!
94
She turned to Gretel.
95
Look in the oven to see if the dough is baked enough.
96
Although she was in fear, Gretel was also a wise girl just like her brother.
97
She understood that the witch was going to push her in the oven.
98
I can't get my head in there and see the doll.
99
Whined Gretel.
100
The witch pushed her aside and stuck her head inside.
101
Gretel gathered all her strength and pushed the old witch into the oven and closed the oven door.
102
Ehhhhhhhhh!
103
Gretel knew where the witch was hiding the keys.
104
She ran straight away and saved Hansel from the cage.
105
The flames from the oven covered the whole house.
106
Hansel and Gretel ran away from the burning house into the woods, but they did not know where to go.
107
A while later they came across a river.
108
A giant swan took them one by one to the other side of the river.
109
The kids looked around and suddenly they realised where they were.
110
They ran home as fast as they could.
111
Seeing his kids, father was full of joy.
112
With tears of joy, he explained to them how their stepmother had gone back to her parents' house.
113
Soon after, they had left them in the forest.
114
and how sorry he was for all that he did and no matter how hard he had searched for them, they were nowhere to be found.
115
The kids loved their father very much, so they forgave him.
116
But another surprise was waiting for their father.
117
They both reached their pockets and brought out gold and diamonds they had found in the witch's home.
118
Their father could not believe his eyes.
119
All the problems that their family had ever had went away and they lived happily ever after.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
