Okay.

Anyway, um, at least you're trying your best.

But it's not enough.

I must be doing something wrong.
20
You know, when something's really difficult,
21
you might just have to try a new way.
22
mix things up, like read the pups some different books.

I've already read them every book I have, like a zillion times.

They're just bored.

We'll start a puppy library.

The first one ever.

Nikki's on her way.

She forgot her phone and she's out of bars.

Hang on, honey.

If ever I needed to be SuperDuperGirl, it's now.

Shuffle off.

We have important business to conduct.
82
Yeah.
83
Catch ya never.

But Daisy needs to record the tide pool,

so we can't really move.

There's plenty of room on the beach for everyone.
87
There's plenty of room on the beach for everyone.

Eh.
89
Wrong.
90
This is the only Dune Surfer rated hover disc golf course in Malibu,
91
and we've got to perfect our moves before tomorrow's tournament.
92
Okay, we can just work around each other.
93
Daisy, let's get your mic set up while Renee puts up the volleyball net.
94
Aye aye!
95
Dude, now what?
96
Oh yeah, check this one out.
97
Ew, super mature guys.
98
Things went downhill from there.
99
Of course, we tried to take the high road.
100
Oh, fantastic!
101
Oh, did that block your shot?
102
Sorry.
103
Seriously?
104
Come on.
105
Come on.
106
Trey wanted to look cool in front of his friends.
107
Fine.
108
I knew all I had to do was get him alone,
109
and we could work out a compromise.
110
So?
111
I will never compromise.
112
Okay, so you kinda sorta made them think you'd kept up with your violin playing.
113
And the truth is, it's been a while.
114
A long while.
115
And I've got this awful feeling they're going to ask me to play a song at our New Year's celebration.
116
Well, if it's only one song,
117
I bet we can find one you remember.
118
Do you still have your violin?
119
Yeah, somewhere.
120
Back at my house.
121
So what are we waiting for?
122
I'll drive you.
123
You really think?
124
Trust me, you'll be fine.
125
At least I thought she'd be fine.
126
I mean, playing an instrument is just like riding a bike.
127
You never really forget how to do it.
128
Hey everyone, I thought we'd try something new today.
129
Renee and Teresa are about to battle it out for total water domination in the Pool Float Seesaw Challenge!
130
Hi!
131
Hello!
132
The object is to stay on no matter what.
133
Ready?
134
Go!
135
I'm gonna spend you on the plane!
136
Get off my...
137
Teresa!
138
Whoa!
139
No!
140
I got it!
141
Teresa!
142
Ah!
143
Got it!
144
You got it!
145
Ah!
146
Whoa!
147
No!
148
My phone!
149
You never know when you're gonna have a poolside emergency,
150
so luckily my phone has a waterproof case.
151
The video wasn't exactly what I had in mind,
152
but with nothing else to post,
153
I went ahead and posted it.
154
I thought at least it'd be good for a few laughs.
155
Whoa!
156
Try 16,000!
157
What?
158
Oh my gosh!
159
Look at the number of views it's getting!
160
16,709!
161
17,000!
162
17,619!
163
This is crazy!
164
I just posted it an hour ago!
165
The numbers!
166
They're alive!
167
Okay, we have no time to lose.
168
I've got to make new charts and graph the timeline,
169
tweak our tracking algorithms.
170
Whoa, Theresa, slow down.
171
You don't have to do anything.
172
What?
173
Don't you see what's happening?
174
We're going viral!
175
Seriously?
176
No way.
177
Sweet!
178
We need to act fast or we'll lose all your momentum.
179
Yeah!
180
Let's do this!
181
Awesome!
182
So what do we do now?
183
We need follow-up videos.
184
Fast!
185
Hey!
186
My toe!
187
And lots of them!
188
New spins on popular memes,
189
cool skills we can showcase!
190
Yo, slow down!
191
Come on.
192
Everyone, go home and start practicing your weirdest skill!
193
I've got numbers to run!
194
No dogs allowed on the beach?
195
By order of Malibu City Council?
196
But the wiener pups love the beach!
197
So does Taffy!
198
Whoa!
199
Sorry, girl.
200
You can't be on the beach anymore.
201
Who wants more tea?
202
Hmm.
203
Aha!
204
There you are, Blissa.
205
You're the guest of honor at my tea party.
206
Time to put on your crown.
207
Ah, Blissa!
208
It's crazy!
209
So unfair!
210
Totally ridiculous!
211
Hey girls, what's unfair?
212
What are you talking about?
213
Apparently dogs aren't allowed on the beach anymore.
214
Wait a sec, I just got an email about that.
215
The Malibu City Council voted 3-2 last night to ban dogs from all city beaches.
216
Says here the law was proposed by Ron Slusher.
217
Ron Slusher?
218
Didn't he used to work for Whit Reardon?
219
Ah, now it makes sense.
220
Poppy must be behind this.
221
I don't care if it's the law.
222
It's wrong and somebody needs to do something about it.
223
Well, there is an election coming up.
224
You should do it!
225
Run for office?
226
I did run for kindergarten hall monitor and lost to the class gerbil.
227
She had amazing charisma.
228
But this time you could be the gerbil!
229
I mean the winner!
230
And that'd be a huge win for the dogs of Malibu!
231
You know what?
232
I'll do it.
233
If you'll be my campaign manager.
234
Are you kidding?
235
I'm so in!
236
Let's do it!
237
We got this!
238
Alright, yeah!
239
Here you go, girls.
240
Thanks for covering for me.
241
You go through this much trouble for all your guests?
242
Oh, truth is, there are no other guests.
243
Like I said, business is bad.
244
But the show, it's sold out.
245
Yeah, I practically put every last penny I had into promoting it.
246
I didn't want to spoil your trip, Barbie.
247
But the truth is, if this show doesn't bring in a whole lot of new customers,
248
I'm afraid the Windy Willows Inn will have to close.
249
The Windy Willows Inn was about to go out of business?
250
What terrible news!
251
I loved the Windy Willows!
252
I practically grew up in those rooms!
253
There was no way I was gonna let Anta-Dell down.
254
Morning, girls.
255
Just on my way to the coop for some fresh eggs.
256
Make yourselves at home.
257
Wow.
258
An egg from an actual chicken.
259
What's that like?
260
A lot of memories.
261
Yeah.
262
I can't even imagine the Windy Willows not being here anymore.
263
We-we just can't let that happen.
264
I thought I specifically asked for fresh squeezed Of course we'll get that for you right away Um,
265
why don't you have a seat outside on the porch fresh air is very good for the vocal cords.
266
Hey, aha What are you doing?
267
My parents gave aunt Adele this electric juicer for her birthday ages ago looks like she's never even used it Yeah,
268
she kind of likes to do things old school, doesn't she?
269
Well, we're gonna help her out a little new school.
270
You know how this thing works?
271
Sure, I think.
272
Uh, fruit goes in here, just comes out there.
273
Where does the lid go?
274
Lid?
275
Turn off, little!
276
Oh, goodness!
277
Aunt Adele!
278
Skipper, let me out!
279
For once, that wasn't the Reardon's fault.
280
Skipper, stay on your side!
281
This is ridiculous, Stacy!
282
Look, I just need to step over the line to get to the door!
283
This is my side.
284
You can't come over here.
285
You don't own the door!
286
I own this side of the room!
287
What's going on?
288
Hang on, it sounds like you're training an elephant in here.
289
We divided the room in half,
290
but Skipper won't let me out!
291
Too bad, the door is on my side.
292
Oh, but don't worry, I'll send you pics of all the things you miss out on.
293
Ugh, not fair!
294
The line was your idea.
295
Come on, guys, sharing a room can't be that bad.
296
Oh yeah?
297
Try listening to her mix a single track over and over and over, every day!
298
At least I make real beats,
299
unlike the endless random boppity boppity bop bop bop of your basketball dribbling.
300
Don't listen to her, Bolly.
301
Anyone know what happened to the deck tape?
302
This room isn't big enough for the two of us!
303
Finally!
304
Something we agree on!
305
Uh...
306
I'll go look in the garage.
307
Now look what you've done!
308
You've upset Chelsea!
309
She upset me!
310
She upset me!
311
Oh!
312
Ha!
313
Hey!
314
Get your finger off my side!
315
Don't you think you're both kind of overreacting?
316
Easy for you to say.
317
You have your own room.
318
You try sharing a room with Skipper!
319
Okay, sure, I will.
320
Come again?
321
Do what now?
322
We'll do a room swap, temporarily.
323
You two obviously need a break from each other,
324
so Stacy can have my room for the weekend,
325
and I'll stay here with Skipper.
326
Score!
327
Cool.
328
Welcome aboard, roomie.
329
Abracadabra!
330
Ah, the old hat trick.
331
What do you got in there?
332
A rabbit?
333
Silence!
334
Assistants don't speak.
335
Right.
336
Don't want to scare the cute little bunny.
337
You just go ahead and pull out that sweet, fuzzy...
338
AHHHHH!
339
BAT!
340
That's just a bat, Grayson!
341
Where did you get that?
342
Ah, shoot!
343
Shoot!
344
Get away!
345
Get away!
346
Whoa!
347
My bat!
348
Ouch!
349
Come back!
350
Grayson, wait!
351
Whoa!
352
Gotcha!
353
No!
354
It got away!
355
So, Ken, what's going on?
356
Grayson is the owner's grandson,
357
and the reason I'm here apparently.
358
To babysit.
359
Let me go!
360
I don't need a babysitter!
361
Um, not exactly what you had in mind.
362
Not at all.
363
But I'm dealing with this.
364
Not at all.
365
But I'm dealing with it.
366
I gotta show Miss Crawford I'm a team player if I want to work here, right?
367
Okay.
368
Hang tight, buddy.
369
I'll be right there.
370
What are you doing?
371
Oh, hi!
372
A helicopter lesson, but I can stay if you need help.
373
Go.
374
Grayson and I will be fine.
375
Uh, okay.
376
Grayson?
377
Huh?
378
Grayson!
379
Not the acupuncture table!
380
Ta-da!
381
Oops.
382
Yeah.
383
That one needs work.
384
Can you pass me that potato?
385
I'll help!
386
Fine by me.
387
It's the least I can do.
388
Poor Trey.
389
Poor us.
390
We're stuck with him.
391
Come on, he's not that bad.
392
Not that bad?
393
Are we talking about the same tray?
394
Got it!
395
Oh no!
396
Okay, fair point, but this is different.
397
This wasn't his fault.
398
Right!
399
It was Stacy's!
400
Now you're making me feel even worse!
401
Stace, we know it was just an accident.
402
My question is, was it?
403
I understood where Skip was coming from.
404
Troy wasn't always the most truthful of guys,
405
but for whatever reason, I still felt that deep down he had a good heart.
406
Helping him find it.
407
That was gonna be the tricky part.
408
Well?
409
Give me a break.
410
It took them forever to leave.
411
We don't have forever!
412
The postcard said they must file their blueprints with City Hallway tomorrow.
413
That means you need to find and destroy them today!
414
I know!
415
Don't worry!
416
I got this!
417
Trey!
418
The pain is never ending!
419
Hey, hey, hey!

The dialogue revolves around the difficulties faced while trying to engage puppies in reading activities. This context provides a playful and relatable backdrop for learners who want to practice their English speaking skills in an informal setting. The characters brainstorm a solution, illustrating the importance of teamwork and innovation, which can serve as valuable lessons in both language learning and real-life problem-solving.
Top 5 Phrases for Daily Communication
- How's it going? - A common greeting to ask someone how they are doing.
- Is everything okay? - Inquiring if there is any problem or concern.
- That's funny! - A response expressing amusement or finding something humorous.
- I must be doing something wrong. - An acknowledgment of personal frustration and the need for improvement.
- What to do, what to do? - A phrase expressing uncertainty or seeking advice on a situation.
Step-by-step Shadowing Guide
To enhance your english speaking practice utilizing this transcript, consider following the shadow speech technique. This method involves listening to the dialogue and repeating it immediately, which improves pronunciation, intonation, and fluency.
- Listen attentively: Watch the video and focus on the characters' speech patterns and expressions. This step is crucial for understanding context and emotion.
- Break it down: Select short segments of the dialogue, such as the greetings and humorous exchanges. This will enable you to practice manageable phrases without feeling overwhelmed.
- Repeat aloud: Whether you choose to go for IELTS speaking practice or general conversation skills, mimic the characters as closely as possible. Pay attention to their tone and emotion.
- Record yourself: After shadowing, record your speech. Listening back helps identify areas for improvement, making you more aware of pronunciation errors or hesitations.
- Consistency is key: Aim to practice daily using dialogues from this and other similar videos. Utilize a shadowing site or app that allows you to track your progress over time for motivation.
Through consistent shadowing, you can foster improved speaking skills, elevate your confidence, and navigate daily conversations with ease.
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.
