The End

You always get it right You always get it right You always get it right That's where we'll go.

Aunt Detta says it's even more beautiful in real life and that we'll be much better off than here Heidi, hurry up and pack your suitcase Yes,

Aunt Detta You know we leave at dawn Rizzy, you scared me.

Maybe I could take him too?

Heidi, think about it.

This poor cat has never left this street and you'd like to take it all the way across the country.

Shoo!

Get out!

Move!

Leave Heidi alone.

I can't wait to see the mountains.

Is it true they go all the way up to the clouds? Of course.

Come on, finish your packing instead of talking instead of talking.

Hmm.

How long will I stay there?

It will depend on my job in Frankfurt.

You'll stay there as long as necessary.

What about Grandfather?

Do you think he'll be happy to see me?

Aunt Etta?

Of course he'll be happy.

He's your Grandfather after all.

Hmm.

What does he look like?

You know, I haven't seen him in a long time.

I'm sure everything will be alright.

Hmm.

Well, now, get ready for bed while I'm taking a bath.

Hmm.

My frizzy.

I'll miss you, you know.

Dear Little Star, please let the trip be uneventful and let Grandfather be very nice to me.

Oh!

What did you say?

I'd say...

Goodbye!

Whee!

That was close!

I told you to hurry!

But it was frizzy.

I couldn't leave without saying goodbye.

Of course, but it's only a cat, you know.

My doll!

I lost my doll!

It's too late, Hydey.

The train is rolling.

But I want my doll.

Ouch!

What is this little miss doing?

We haven't even left yet and she already wants to go home.

But...but...my doll!

She fell on the platform.

Listen, little one.

I'm sure the station master will pick it up.

When you come back, I'll have her waiting for you.

Um, she's going to stay on Durflee.

Oh.

Well, in that case, I can give it to your mother.

I am her aunt.

Her mother passed away a long time ago.

Oh, sorry.

It will be okay, Heidi.

This gentleman will find your doll, and I'll give it back to you when we see each other again.

Really?

Oh, thank you.

Come on now, stop carrying on.

That's a good little girl you have here.

Oh, how

cute.

Don't be afraid.

I'll get you out of there.

You'll see.

I'll find a safe place for you.

There.

You'll be fine in here.

I'll be fine in here until I can find a place to let you go.

Great!

A station.

You'll be much better off out here.

Theresa, what a clumsy girl.

I didn't mean to, Mother.

It was this girl's fault.

She was in the way.

You should have paid attention.

Go on, move aside, will you?

Heidi!

What are you doing?

Dette, what a surprise.

What are you doing here?

Good morning, Alda.

I'm going to Durfley.

You've had enough of the city and you're coming back to Durfley.

No, I'm with my niece and...

Your niece.

I'm going to leave her in her grandfather's care.

You're going to leave her with the uncle.

The uncle?

Do you mean grandfather?

100

Why don't you go and play over there with Mrs Keller's daughter while I'm talking to her mother?

101

I'm sure you'll both soon be really good friends.

102

Very good idea.

103

Theresa, go and play over there with Heidi.

104

Tell me everything.

105

I want to know it all.

106

Well, hi.

107

My name is Heidi.

108

Is it true you're going to live with the uncle?

109

Hm?

110

Do you mean my grandfather?

111

Yes, except in Durflee, everyone calls him the uncle.

112

Well, I suddenly wouldn't want to be you right now.

113

Really?

114

Why?

115

Because he's an ogre.

116

He doesn't talk to anyone.

117

He grunts.

118

They say he eats birds without plucking them.

119

Without even cooking them.

120

That's silly.

121

Ogres don't exist.

122

And our debtor told me that grandfather would take good care of me.

123

Well, then why would everyone in the village say his anger makes the mountains shake?

124

But I'm telling you that I don't have a choice.

125

Mother!

126

Mother!

127

Theresa, what's the matter with you?

128

She's...she's got her.

129

She's got what?

130

A mouse!

131

A mouse?

132

A mouse!

133

Stop!

134

You scare her!

135

Oh, Heidi!

136

What on earth are you doing now?

137

What's going on here?

138

There's a mouse in this carriage.

139

Come now, ladies.

140

No need to get into such a state for a mere mouse.

141

Of course we should.

142

Why would you want to hurt her?

143

Look how cute she is.

144

But Heidi, let go of that thing.

145

It's disgusting.

146

Please, allow me, ma'am.

147

Well, little one, there is a lot happening when you're around, isn't there?

148

She's my friend.

149

Don't hurt her.

150

I will complain to the highest level.

151

Don't you worry, ma'am.

152

I'll take care of it.

153

Follow me, little miss.

154

How horrible!

155

This is outrageous!

156

How disgusting!

157

This lady doesn't ever travel without complaining.

158

But this time, your little friend taught her a lesson.

159

Give me your mouse.

160

I'll free her at the next stop.

161

I promise.

162

Everything's going to be okay.

163

He's a friend too.

164

You can trust him.

165

Bye.

166

What on earth were you doing with a mouse on a train carriage?

167

It's not my fault.

168

It's Theresa.

169

She was scaring me on purpose.

170

She.. she said grandfather is an ogre.

171

An ogre?

172

An ogre?

173

Of course not.

174

Don't believe anything she says.

175

As you can see, they're frightened of everything.

176

Heidi, get down this instant.

177

We're here!

178

Here!

179

Turfley!

180

This is Turfley!

181

Wow!

182

This is so beautiful.

183

Let's go.

184

It's a long way up to Grandfather's.

185

Put your shawl on.

186

Oh, Aunt Teta, look how beautiful this is.

187

Yes, yes, it's very nice.

188

You see, this is the girl that will live with the uncle.

189

Rawr!

190

What now?

191

Is this really the way you welcome visitors?

192

Well, no, sir.

193

Carl, go back home.

194

Yes, father.

195

You'll waste less time reading a book than making ugly faces.

196

Can I have a drink out, Ditty?

197

Yes, good idea.

198

Wait!

199

Wait!

200

Data, it's been such a long time.

201

What a pleasure to see you.

202

What brings you back here?

203

Well, I found a good position in Frankfurt, with a rich family that I met in Badregards.

204

Very good people.

205

I've come to leave Heidi and her grandfather's care.

206

Leave Heidi to the uncle?

207

But no one even knows how he lives up there.

208

He doesn't talk to anyone anymore.

209

With his bushy eyebrows and his ogre beard, he looks like a bear.

210

Yes, but he is her grandfather.

211

But the little one will be scared to death.

212

If he knew everything they say about him.

213

Well, I'm not interested in knowing.

214

How can you trust him after what happened with Tobias?

215

I don't have a choice.

216

I have given Heidi everything since the death of my sister.

217

My time, my energy.

218

So now I deserve to live a little, don't I?

219

Oh, sorry, Dehta.

220

I didn't mean to...

221

Goodbye, Bubble.

222

Heidi?

223

Heidi!

224

What on.. where have you gone to now?

225

Ah!

226

Heidi!

227

Heidi!

228

Excuse me, have you seen a little girl wandering around?

229

Brunette, about this high.

230

Over there.

231

Thank you.

232

Heidi!

233

Aunt Tenta, you were right.

234

This is so beautiful.

235

Heidi, where are your shoes?

236

And your shawl?

237

Well, over there.

238

You left your clothes like that in the middle of nowhere.

239

I was following a butterfly, and I was too hot.

240

And then I...

241

Hello, you.

242

You certainly are cute.

243

My name's Heidi.

244

Heidi, this is not the time to talk to a goat.

245

Go and get your clothes.

246

Stop.

247

It tickles.

248

Huh?

249

Tell me goat herd would you like to earn a coin?

250

Uh-huh.

251

Well get me that shawl and shoes over there near that big rock Careful not to ruin them

252

Thank you young man well you certainly can run fast the coin is yours Are they your goats?

253

Do they all belong to you?

254

Can't he talk?

255

No, I think he's just a bit...unsociable.

256

Come on, we've wasted enough time.

257

Put your shoes back on and for the last time, you stay close to me, okay?

258

I'm hungry.

259

All right, let's stop a bit.

260

Are we close now, Aunt Detta?

261

Aunt Detta?

262

Huh?

263

Oh, well, yes.

264

Here, get some strength.

265

Thank you.

266

You know, if it had been at all possible, I would have kept you with me.

267

But with this new job, I really can't.

268

Well, you do understand.

269

Mm-hmm.

270

Look!

271

Mushrooms!

272

Do you think we can eat them?

273

Oh, these woods are really beautiful.

274

Aren't they, Aunt Ditta?

275

Aunt Ditta?

276

Are you okay, Aunt Ditta?

277

You look like you're about to cry.

278

I'm fine.

279

I'm just a little tired.

280

Come on, let's go. Is that Grandfather's cabin?

281

Yes.

282

We're here.

283

What's that noise?

284

Uncle, it's me.

285

I found a good job in Frankfurt as a cook.

286

I can't keep your granddaughter with me any longer.

287

Go away.

288

I have taken care of her since she was a baby.

289

Now you have to look after her.

290

Now to the question.

291

I'm not asking you.

292

No one asked me when I had to take her in.

293

And I managed.

294

You are her sole family.

295

You have to take her.

296

The mountain?

297

There's no place for a town girl.

298

Have you seen her?

299

She won't last two days.

300

Life is tough up here.

301

You owe her this much, after everything that happened in the past.

302

One more word and...

303

She can stay.

304

But you, go back to where you came from and don't you ever show up here again.

305

Come on, Joseph.

306

Make sure you wash your face every morning.

307

Don't stay up past your bedtime and be careful not to spoil your clothes, alright?

308

Your grandfather is not in a good mood today, but I am sure everything is going to be okay.

309

There you go.

310

I'll come back to visit you very soon.

311

I promise.

312

You won't forget to ask the ticket inspector for my doll.

313

Oh...

314

I promise, Heidi.

315

I promise.

316

Um, where's my bedroom, grandfather?

317

Hello, you.

318

Hey, careful!

319

Calm down, sweetheart.

320

I don't want to hurt you.

321

Do you mind if I settle here next to you?

322

Grandfather looks upset, and I don't want to upset him anymore.

323

And I don't want to upset him anymore.

324

I think this could make a very cozy bedroom.

325

Hmm?

326

Grandfather must have brought me that.

327

Grandfather?

328

Is that you?

329

You...

330

You...

331

You scared me.

332

Joseph?

333

That's your name, isn't it?

334

You know, where I come from, I have a cat.

335

His name is Frizzy, and we get along really well.

336

So, you and me, maybe we could be friends too.

337

Oh, that's my star!

338

It followed me!

339

I'm sure it sent you as a friend.

340

I think we'll get along fine, you and I.

341

And I hope that tomorrow, grandfather won't be cross anymore.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
