163
Listen and look.
164
There is one example.
165
Holly's father is telling Holly about some things he found at home.
166
What did he find in each place?
167
Hi, Holly.
168
I tidied our home while you were at school today, inside and outside.
169
I found something of yours on the balcony.
170
What, Dad?
171
Was it something that I lost?
172
Yes, your comb, the one your cousin gave you.
173
Here you are.
174
Wow, thanks.
175
I looked everywhere for that.
176
I know you did.
177
Can you see the letter A?
178
Now you listen and write a letter in each box.
179
I'm very pleased that I found this old key.
180
Oh, where was that?
181
On the ground by the gate.
182
I found it when I was cutting the grass.
183
It's lovely.
184
It's really old, isn't it?
185
Yes.
186
My grandfather always opened and closed his favourite cupboard with it.
187
What about my trainers, Dad?
188
Did you find those too?
189
I don't know where they are.
190
I'm sorry, Holly.
191
No, I didn't.
192
Oh, dear.
193
But I found this by the swing.
194
It's your lucky bracelet.
195
But it's broken.
196
I can fix it.
197
Don't worry.
198
I'm lucky too.
199
I found this money. Where?
200
On the steps outside.
201
I saw it when I went out to the post office this morning.
202
And you didn't use it to buy some more stamps?
203
No. And look, these were under the cooker.
204
I saw them when I was cleaning the floor.
205
My little scissors.
206
Excellent.
207
I like to keep those with my glue for when I'm making my model dinosaurs.
208
Perhaps I dropped them.
209
Yes, perhaps you did.
210
Well, wash and dry them carefully before you take them to your room.
211
All right.
212
And last, well, you asked me about getting some more stamps.
213
Look.
214
Four of them?
215
And they're all the same?
216
Yes.
217
Guess where I found these?
218
I don't know.
219
In the basement.
220
They were under a box down there.
221
They're very unusual.
222

268
There is one example.
269
Who is Michael going to go to the theatre with?
270
Hello, Mr. Roberts.
271
How's your son?
272
Good morning, Mrs. Day.
273
Oh, you mean Michael.
274
He's very excited, actually.
275
He's going to go to the theatre tonight.
276
Some actors are going to come and talk about their work.
277
That sounds interesting.
278
Is he going with you and your wife?
279
No. He's going with his older sister.
280
Lovely.
281
But I've forgotten her name.
282
Zoe.
283
She has the same name as her grandmother.
284
She wants to be an actor one day.
285
Can you see the tick?
286
Now you listen and tick the box.
287
1. How did Michael find out about the special evening at the theater?
288
How did Michael find out about this special evening with the actors?
289
He read about it in a magazine.
290
Was that on a website?
291
No, it wasn't.
292
He phoned all his friends about it.
293
I think quite a lot of them are going to go, too.
294
2. How will Michael travel to the theater?
295
They wanted to travel to the theater on the train this evening, but the station is too far away.
296
Well, could they go there on the bus?
297
That's not easy.
298
I told them to go in a taxi.
299
They were happy about that.
300
Good.
301
That's the quickest way, too, I think.
302
3. What time does Michael want to arrive at the theater?
303
Will Michael have to go before dinner?
304
No. We'll eat early.
305
He wants to leave home just before 7 o 'clock.
306
Oh.
307
So, what time will he arrive at the theater?
308
It starts at half past seven.
309
Michael says he wants to be there by quarter past, so they'll have enough time to find their seats.
310
Four.
311
What will Michael be most interested in?
312
How do actors remember all the things they have to say?
313
I don't know, but Michael isn't very interested in hearing about that.
314
Why not?
315
I'm not sure.
316
He's much more interested in finding out about building the things you see on the stage.
317
Well, I'm always interested in the actor's costumes.
318
I make all my clothes. Do you?
319
Well done.
320
5. Where are the theatre tickets?
321
But I've got to go now, Mrs. Day.
322
Michael's just sent me a text.
323
He can't find the tickets.
324
He's looked in all his pockets.
325
Oh, dear.
326
I hope he didn't drop them in the street.
327
No, don't worry.
328
I know where they are.
329
I put them in my diary.
330
Good.
331
Well, I hope it'll be fun.

382
There is one example.
383
I'd like you to do some colouring and writing here.
384
Sure.
385
What can I colour first?
386
How about the castle?
387
The one on the hill.
388
Make it pink, please.

409
right deep there Alright, so it'll be difficult for that boy to get his football back Yes Oh dear,

412
Find the colour green and use it to colour one of the swans.

417
I know, it's all right.
418
4. Those lights are unusual.
419
Would you like to colour one of them?

421
It'll be easier.
422
That's a good idea.
423
What colour?
424
You choose.

It's perfect for learning how to understand everyday speech and practice speaking naturally—great for english speaking practice and learn english with videos.

Practice Tips: Master the Shadowing Technique
The shadowing technique is a great way to improve your pronunciation, intonation, and fluency. Here's how to use it with this video: First, listen to a short part of the dialogue (3-5 seconds) and pause. Then, repeat it out loud immediately, trying to match the speed, tone, and stress of the speakers. The conversation is at a natural, conversational pace—don't worry if you miss a word at first! Focus on copying the rhythm. For extra practice, use a shadowing site to slow down the audio if needed, but aim to keep up with the original speed as you get better. This shadow speech practice will help you sound more like a native and understand real-life English better. Try it with the part about Emma going fast down the hill—notice how the speaker's voice rises when they say "she's really brave!" Copy that energy to make your speech more natural.

| Superlatives the -est / the most … — the top or bottom of a group | the most famous · the best · the quickest |
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.
