1
The End The End The End The End The End The End Come on, Willy.
2
Buck up a bit.
3
This outing has gone on too long.
4
Seriously, Maya.
5
It's getting really close to nap time.
6
But you've already taken four naps.
7
Only four?
8
That's why I'm feeling a bit weak.
9
Weak.
10
Okay, that's enough.
11
Come on, move.
12
We're going.
13
You always decide everything.
14
Well, guess what?
15
Right now I...
16
Watch out!
17
My ball!
18
My ball!
19
My ball!
20
My ball!
21
My ball!
22
Oh!
23
Hmm.
24
Ben?
25
You all right, Ben?
26
Nothing broken?
27
What?
28
My ball!
29
Where's my ball?
30
Oh, there it is.
31
My ball.
32
My ball.
33
My ballie-wally.
34
Come on, we're going.
35
Yes!
36
Yes!
37
Yes!
38
Yes!
39
Yes!
40
Yes!
41
Yes!
42
Yes!
43
Oh, no!
44
My ballie-wally!
45
It's stucky-stuck!
46
Me too!
47
Hmm?
48
Max?
49
Is that you?
50
Yes.
51
doing in Ben's ball?
52
I'm not in the ball.
53
I'm behind it.
54
I can't get out.
55
I can't dig through the rock.
56
You stay there.
57
We'll get you out.
58
Come on, guys.
59
It's on three.
60
One, two, three.
61
It won't ruin.
62
I won't become a me without my ball.
63
I'm sorry to bother you,
64
but it would be good if I could get out of here,
65
because if it rains, the water will flow in here,
66
and then I'll drown.
67
Hey, what was I just saying?
68
Max is right.
69
We have to do something, and quick!
70
Max, you can't dig through the rock,
71
but you can dig through Ben's ball!
72
Huh?
73
What?
74
No one's touching my ball, you hear me, Max?
75
Do not touch my ball!
76
No need to get all upset, Ben.
77
I'm afraid it's going to make me sick.
78
Even the smell is making me feel nauseous.
79
Hmm, okay, but then what are we going to do?
80
I have an idea, come on!
81
Another order?
82
Don't worry, everything's gonna be alright.
83
Thank you, Ben, that's kind of you.
84
I was starting to think that you didn't care about your poor old friend.
85
You were right, I wasn't talking to you.
86
I was talking to my ball.
87
Lya, really?
88
Hobbs, who goes there?
89
Well, you just said it, Arnie.
90
It's us, Maya and Willie.
91
We would like to speak to Paul.
92
Negative.
93
Colonel Paul is very tired.
94
He is resting and he needs SILENCE!
95
Uh, ah, Colonel!
96
We need help.
97
It's really urgent.
98
Huh?
99
What's wrong?
100
Oh, nothing.
101
He's just explaining that he is going to shrink to grow smaller until he's about yay high.
102
And a girl's smaller faster,
103
he's not talking anymore to help him focus.
104
Hang on, I get it.
105
You see, Paul has lost his voice.
106
But if you don't have a voice,
107
then you can't give orders.
108
Oh, this is bad.
109
What will we do?
110
The Colonel is saying that you should shrink too.
111
No, no, he wants Maya to replace them.
112
So then I'll be the Colonel?
113
Great, and you just love giving orders.
114
At your command, Colonelette.
115
You don't say Colonelette, you say colony.
116
At your command, your colony!
117
Excuse me, would you please gather around me?
118
I don't think you should do it like that.
119
I've watched Paul and he always says, Troops, fall in now!
120
Follow me.
121
It's this way.
122
Troops, forward, march!
123
Permission to speak, your colony?
124
Permission to speak, granted.
125
Silence!
126
Private Barney, permission to speak, granted.
127
You have to give the order to do it, your colony.
128
To do what?
129
Uh, to do the chant.
130
Oh, okay.
131
Troops, do it!
132
When they need us, we are there!
133
One, two, we are brave and we care!
134
Three, four, we have four arms, they are strong.
135
Five, six, and two legs, they are long.
136
Seven, eight!
137
Do you remember when you were tiny and I pushed you?
138
And when you were bigger and I pushed you?
139
And last fall, when I pushed you?
140
Not even can we work the way?
141
One, two, we're all working just a bit.
142
You took your sweet time.
143
You should be thinking about my ball.
144
Don't worry, Ben.
145
Maya's the Colonel now.
146
Really?
147
That's me.
148
Hmm.
149
We'll get you out of there, Max.
150
Oh, okay, I won't say no. Troops,
151
at my command, do it!
152
Night and day we work away!
153
One, two, we're all working!
154
Stop!
155
Troops, at my command push the ball
156
Wake up your mind is it push or don't push I think it's don't push Hmm?
157
Hmm?
158
Hmm?
159
Hmm?
160
Well this is great!
161
If I were you, I'd explain the goal of the mission.
162
No one told them what's going on.
163
Listen, Willy, Paul officially appointed me to replace him.
164
I'm in charge of these troops,
165
so everyone must do as I say, including you.
166
Fine!
167
Do what you want.
168
I'm taking a nap.
169
Perfect!
170
Hmm?
171
Ah!
172
Oh no!
173
Oh no!
174
Oh no!
175
Oh no!
176
Oh no!
177
Oh no!
178
Oh no!
179
Riddler, take cover!
180
Troops, show some courage!
181
Everybody stand to the left of the ball and push it!
182
When you say left, your colony,
183
do you mean that way?
184
Uh, no, left is that way.
185
Look, it's not difficult.
186
The right is your right hand,
187
and the left is your left hand.
188
This is the left side.
189
Okay, troops, push the ball!
190
No, no, troops!
191
On three, push the ball at the same time!
192
No, no, no, I counted three and then six.
193
Push the ball.
194
Well, you should have said that before.
195
Alright, troops.
196
One, two, three.
197
Hmm now what well we're waiting for you to count to six oh Look,
198
it's really easy on three six of you push We're sorry your colony,
199
but we don't get a word you're saying that's not fair
200
We have always done our work correctly if it's not right then maybe you don't know how to give orders Excuse me.
201
I think I am very good colony.
202
Oh Colonel Maybe, but if your orders don't start getting easier to understand,
203
then we can't do anything.
204
Right, Barney?
205
That's right, Arnie!
206
Hmph!
207
What?
208
Hm?
209
Hm?
210
Max, you have no choice!
211
Dig through the ball!
212
Too late!
213
I don't have enough time!
214
Uggggh!
215
It was nice knowing all of you!
216
Max, hang on, please!
217
Farewell, my ball.
218
This is your fault, Maya,
219
because you don't know how to give orders.
220
I'll be right back.
221
I'll never forget the great times we shared together?
222
Me neither.
223
Ah, my mom!
224
What?
225
Hm?
226
Ah, Willie!
227
Hm?
228
Hm?
229
Hm?
230
Hm?
231
Hello, your colony.
232
So, how's it going?
233
Well, not too good.
234
I'm really sorry, Willie.
235
You were right.
236
I was way too bossy.
237
I'm ready to listen to you.
238
Hmm?
239
All right.
240
I think a good leader is somebody who listens to their soldiers.
241
Maybe the ants know exactly what to do.
242
But then what's the point of having a leader?
243
Because you need someone to guide the others like an orchestra conductor.
244
Hmm?
245
You're right, Willy.
246
Come on!
247
Hey!
248
My Polly!
249
Max, you okay?
250
I have to confess that I'm almost out of my depth!
251
Hmm?
252
Private Arnie, tell me, how would you go about moving this ball?
253
Move the ball?
254
Well, that's not difficult.
255
We just have to all go on one side and push it.
256
But that's what I've been trying to tell you guys.
257
Uh, negative?
258
Yes?
259
I don't think so.
260
Alright, alright.
261
Private Arnie, how would you give that order?
262
Well, I'd say, troops at my signal,
263
deal with it however you want,
264
but move the darn ball!
265
Huh?
266
That's it?
267
Affirmative?
268
Why complicate things, your colony?
269
Truth!
270
At my signal, deal with it however you want,
271
but move that darn ball!
272
Thank you everyone.
273
If I had arms I would shake your hands.
274
Oh Max, you scared us!
275
Yay!
276
Ha-ha-ha!
277
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
278
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
279
Bah-Paul!
280
Huh.
281
Hm?
282
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
283
Show me the verse.
284
The show is a good one.
285
Mission accomplished, Colonel Paul.
286
I brought back your troops.
287
I never thought giving orders could be so complicated.
288
Affirmative Maya.
289
It's simply exhausting.
290
That's why sometimes I do lose my voice.
291
Actually, Colonel, it looks like you found it again.
292
But what I don't get is why you're still the same size.
293
Private party, 7200 push-ups starting now!
294
At your command, Colonel.
295
You're all done, Colonel!

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
