15
that's not fair It's not my mom's fault that Wonderland is sealed off from Ever After.
16
I mean, okay, maybe she poisoned Wonderland's magic, and sure, because of her, Wonderland is even topsy-turvier than ever.
17
But, and yeah, thanks to her, the Queen of Hearts is a total wacko screwball.
18
Whoa!
19
Oops.

Party-crushing!

Good question.

The Wonderland Curse.

And Professor Grimm will remove the seal between our world and Wonderland!
155
I don't know, guys.
156
I'm really still just getting the hang of my magical powers.
157
But you transported to this meeting.
158
Yeah, but...
159
To the study hall! To the study hall!
160
So, would you rather live in a posh castle or a delicious gingerbread house?
161
Ooh, that's easy!
162
Gingerbread House any day of the week to the study hall!
163
But I wanted the posh castle!
164
Oh, come on!
165
Oh, brilliant move by the White Queen!
166
Dropped a big down!
167
Oh, dancing?
168
That's not what I've trained for.
169
That's what I'm counting on.
170
This is your imagination!
171
Come on, guys!
172
Yay!
173
Chessboards are for chess pieces, but everyone's welcome on a dance floor.
174
Let's see what you've got.
175
You can do this, Chase.
176
Oh, please.
177
Really?
178
Come on.
179
I'm doing it.
180
I'm doing it.
181
The Red Knight has fallen.
182
You passed!
183
Thank you very much for voting, everyone.
184
You've dealt me, Coughly Jester, a whole new hand by sending me to Everthai.
185
Not only did you release me from Wonderland Prison, which, let me tell you, was not so Wonderlandiful, but thanks to your choices,
186
I now have my own story.
187
I've had the best time getting to explore the village of Bookend and all its spell-tacular boutiques, cafes and more.
188
Oh, my favourite hangout so far is the Mad Hatter's Tea Shop for a nice cup of Wonderland Rosebud tea.
189
Mmm.
190
Poppy O'Hare helps me keep up my Wonderland style in the Tower Hair Salon.
191
And, as you all know, I love diving into other people's stories.
192
So, the multi-hex theatre is perfect.
193
As you know, in Wonderland, school was just one day a year.
194
And trust me, that was more than enough.
195
But at Ever After High, I'm so glad to be here every day.
196
I'm trying new classes like Princessology.
197
Who wouldn't want to rule one day?
198
Crown Killers.
199
All this practice counting cards paid off.
200
General Villainy.
201
Old habits die hard, I guess.
202
So far, that class this Joker is most suited for.
203
I might even have my eye on a storybook romance with...
204
Alistair Wonderland?
205
I've liked him since forever after.
206
Come on, Courtly.
207
We'll be late for your favorite extracurricular activity, Extreme Croquet.
208
Since you're from Wonderland, you're a natural.
209
Uh-oh.
210
Looks like I better cut the deck.
211
Time to go.
212
Thanks to your choices, my wildcard days are behind me, and I have a new story ahead.
213
So far, life at Ever After High is like a...
214
Well, it's like a fairy tale.
215
They told you everything was waiting for you.
216
They told you everything was set in stone.
217
But now you're feeling like a different ending.
218
Sometimes you gotta find it on your own.
219
It's an open book, a road in reverse.
220
A brand new hook, forget that.

Practice Tips
To make the most of this lesson, consider using a shadowing app while watching the video. Shadow speaking involves mimicking the speakers as closely as possible. Because the characters in this video use a mix of humor and conflict, pay attention to their tone and pacing. Try these tips for effective shadowing:
- Watch the video once without pausing to understand the context and storyline.
- On your second watch, pause after each sentence. Repeat the dialogue out loud, mimicking the characters’ pronunciation and intonation.
- Focus specifically on the emotional tone—how excitement, sarcasm, or frustration affects delivery. This will be useful for your IELTS speaking practice.
- Practice speaking along with the video until you feel comfortable with the speed. Don’t hesitate to rewind if you need to repeat a challenging section.
- Record yourself to evaluate your clarity and naturalness, then compare it with the original dialogue.
By consistently practicing with this method, you'll improve your spoken English and develop confidence in your communication skills. So, dive into the whimsical world of Wonderland while you learn English with YouTube!
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.
