Creating lesson...
1
Let's keep cooking in...
2
Run for it! With Shane the Chef!
3
Ah, Maggie's not answering her phone.
4
Well, I'll ride over and get today's vegetables myself.
5
OK, Dad.
6
Whoa!
7
Sorry about that, Shane.
8
No problem, Sid.
9
Where are you off to?
10
I run every morning before school.
11
It's a great way to get fit.
12
You should try it.
13
Well, I'm pretty sure that running a busy restaurant keeps me in tip -top shape.
14
Ouch.
15
If you say so, Shane.
16
By the way, you should put pasta on the menu so I can have it before I train.
17
It's great for energy.
18
See ya!
19
Whoa!
20
Whoa!
21
Come on!
22
Whoa!
23
Come on, easy now.
24
Whoa!
25
Ah!
26
What's that?
27
Hi, Maggie.
28
Be right with you, Shane.
29
I hope.
30
I found a hay right where you said it would be.
31
I didn't know you started keeping donkeys.
32
I don't.
33
Penny found this one when she was out on a nature walk with Honey and Jay.
34
Why don't you take him to the local donkey sanctuary?
35
Oh we did, but they don't have enough money to look after any more donkeys.
36
I wonder if we can help.
37
We can hold a sponsored run.
38
I'm sure people would love to get involved.
39
All we need is for someone to sign up first and get the ball rolling.
40
Don't look at me.
41
Well what about you Shane?
42
Me?
43
All right.
44
Okay.
45
Hi Dad.
46
Has Mr. Singh arrived to start your training?
47
Yeah, I'm expecting him now.
48
Where are you off to?
49
It's still early.
50
Me and Honey are going to collect sponsors before people go to work.
51
See you later.
52
Morning, Shane.
53
One training partner has arranged.
54
Let's go.
55
Okay.
56
Easy does it.
57
Come on, Shane.
58
You can do it.
59
Come on, knees up.
60
I can't get my breath.
61
Morning, Shane.
62
Would you like a doughnut?
63
Ooh, thanks, Mama Polenta.
64
Shane, stop!
65
Huh?
66
Doughnuts won't help you run.
67
Remember what I said.
68
You should eat things like pasta.
69
Oh, surely just one won't hurt.
70
Sizzling saucepans!
71
Stop!
72
Thief!
73
Oi, come back here!
74
Oi, Jolly, come back!
75
Oh, what's Jolly got?
76
That bird's been getting training tips from Sid.
77
Not many people know this, but in my youth, before I took to the sea, I was quite the athlete.
78
I remember me old mum saying...
79
Why don't you sign up for the sponsored run, then?
80
No, that's not what my old mom said.
81
Er...
82
Oh, right.
83
So I've got pasta in small -toned basil sauce.
84
Pasta?
85
Sid says pasta's good for energy when you're running long distances.
86
Ooh!
87
Oh, that's red tasty, that is.
88
Perfect pasta.
89
What other foods are good for an athlete in training?
90
Well, Mr Singh gave me a list.
91
Oh, hello.
92
Okay, potato, fish, beans.
93
That is a very long list. So...
94
Let's get cooking! And training!
95
I'm going to put a little bit of a knife in the middle of the middle.
96
I'm going to put a knife in the middle of the middle.
97
I'm going to put a knife in the middle.
98
I'm going to
99
put a knife in the middle.
100
I'm going to go ahead and put the water on the top.
101
I'm going to go ahead and put the water on the top.
102
I'm going to go ahead and put the water on the top.
103
Woo!
104
Yay!
105
Well done.
106
That's your best time yet.
107
Right.
108
I think we're ready, Sam.
109
Yeah!
110
The race will begin shortly.
111
Donkey, stop it.
112
This is it, Izzy.
113
Excited?
114
You bet.
115
Children, to the start man, please.
116
There should be no trouble.
117
Better do some stretching.
118
I'm ready to race.
119
On your marks, get set, go!
120
You're not in the race. Are the adults ready?
121
Okay, guys.
122
Try to keep up.
123
Good luck, Maggie. And you.
124
Good luck.
125
This remains me of the time I set a new school running record.
126
On your marks.
127
Get set.
128
Go!
129
Oop, oop!
130
The run hit the night, Peter!
131
Wait for me!
132
What did I just tell you?
133
Oh, no!
134
Slow down.
135
Oh, oh, slow down.
136
Come back here, donkey!
137
Sorry, Sam.
138
Excuse me.
139
I'm so tired.
140
I'm going to have a break.
141
Mmm, ham and tomato.
142
Thank you, Mama.
143
Shane, Maggie, watch out!
144
Sorry.
145
Oh, sorry!
146
Oh!
147
Where's Sam got to?
148
Oh, I don't know.
149
OK, you carry on.
150
I'm going to go back and check he's OK.
151
Coming through, Sid!
152
Donkey, slow down!
153
Oi, get your own!
154
Well done, Mario.
155
He's finally stopped.
156
Sam!
157
What are you doing back here?
158
Go on without me, Shane.
159
The old sea legs have let me down.
160
Come on, Sam.
161
We trained for this run together, so that's how we'll finish it.
162
Rejoa!
163
Hello?
164
Oh!
165
Oh!
166
Oh!
167
Oh!
168
Oh!
169
Oh!
170
Yes!
171
Well done, guys!
172
We did it!
173
Yay!
174
Yay!
175
Ho -ho -ho!
176
Hang on!
177
Where's Mum?
178
And where's the donkey?
179
Look!
180
There he is!
181
Oh!
182
And your mum! And Mario!
183
Oh, we've reached!
184
Yeah!
185
Yeah!
186
Yes!
187
Oh, I did it!
188
Yay!
189
Come on, Sam, you can do it.
190
Now you stay here this time.
191
Oh, yeah, well done, Sam.
192
Function.
193
I guess there is life in these old zines.
194
Two legs yet.
195
Of course there is sound.
196
All those healthy meals really helped us train.
197
And they were lovely.
198
And the winner of the adult run is Penny Seat.
199
Attention, everyone!
200
Good news!
201
We have raised enough money to get a place for Donkey at the local sanctuary.
202
Give yourselves a chip.
203
Yay!
204
You did it!
205
I couldn't have done it without you, Sam.
206
Hooray!
207
And let's hear it for Donkey.
208
He's not there.
209
Erm, where is he?
210
Oh, I...
211
I thought I tied him up.
212
Er...
213
Oh, dear.
214
Not again.
215
Please, stop!
216
Donkey, slow down!
217
Let's get cooking in.. in the pink.
218
With James the Chef!
219
Ready, Izzy?
220
Now pull!
221
I need a...
222
Yay!
223
My first beet treat!
224
My turn now!
225
Oh, not too hard, Mario!
226
Whoa!
227
Can you really eat this? Of course!
228
You can make lots of delicious things with beetroot.
229
Even a cake.
230
A cake?
231
Yeah, a cake!
232
Hey!
233
Hi honey!
234
Sorry I'm late.
235
I had football practice.
236
Yeah, you need it.
237
I know how to play football, thank you.
238
Ha!
239
Just watch the expert.
240
Hey!
241
That's my ball!
242
Give it back!
243
I'm gonna get it!
244
Looks like Mario and Honey prefer football kicking to beetroot kicking.
245
Oh, you're right there, Izzy.
246
Beetroot salad?
247
I don't know.
248
Roast beetroot?
249
Maybe.
250
Beetroot tart?
251
Morning, Shane.
252
Parcel for you.
253
Catch.
254
Oh, hi, JG.
255
Aha, my new kitchen aprons.
256
I was waiting for these.
257
Oh, that's strange.
258
I ordered two aprons, not ten.
259
And certainly not this size.
260
They're a bit on the small side.
261
They're all kids' aprons.
262
Oh well, I'll just have to send them back.
263
Hi Dad, I've got your beetroot.
264
Brilliant.
265
Maggie says you can make cake with it.
266
Is that for real?
267
That's it.
268
That can be today's special.
269
Beetroot cupcakes.
270
Izzy, you're a genius!
271
I thought beetroot was only for salads.
272
Aha!
273
That's where you're mistaken.
274
Beetroot's a wonderful vegetable.
275
Such a lovely pink colour.
276
Quick!
277
We need a referee!
278
Huh?
279
I am definitely the best footballer.
280
No, you're not.
281
I scored ten goals for the school team last season.
282
That's only because I was injured.
283
Seriously?
284
Are you two still arguing about football?
285
Only because Honey won't agree I'm a better footballer than her.
286
I'm just as good as you.
287
Well, it's only one way to find out.
288
A football tournament.
289
Count me in.
290
Back in the day, I was the best scorer in my class.
291
Over to me, Honey.
292
To you, Dad.
293
Ouch.
294
I'll show you how it's done.
295
Now, when I was playing in the Mackerel Marauders, we won the Fisherman's League 20 times in a row.
296
Fisherman's League?
297
Amateurs, Italy is the true home of football.
298
Keep it for the pitch, please.
299
Honey, Mario, you're the team captains, I'll be the referee.
300
And the winning team gets my special cupcakes.
301
Mmm, I hope they're chocolate.
302
Maybe with a little something extra.
303
Come on, Mario.
304
Let's pick our teams.
305
And I'd better go and boil my beetroot.
306
Hmm, I've got more beetroot than I need to make my cupcakes.
307
I know, I'll make some ham and beetroot rolls as well.
308
That'll keep the footballers happy, won't it, Eddie?
309
Sorry, Eddie, but these rolls are for footballers only.
310
Jay, Izzy, Maggie, JJ.
311
Exciting!
312
What about me?
313
I've been practicing my keepy uppies.
314
Oh!
315
Ah!
316
Oh!
317
Ha ha!
318
Watch this!
319
Amazing!
320
Bring it on, JG.
321
And that's the last beetroot.
322
Sizzling saucepans!
323
Oh well, I've always liked pink.
324
Now let's get cooking!
325
And into the oven they go.
326
Come on, Eddie, let's get this match started.
327
Mew, wew.
328
Over here! To me! To me!
329
Pass!
330
Me, me!
331
I'm here.
332
Not to Sam, he's on the other team.
333
Oh, sorry, Mario.
334
Over here.
335
Oh, so...
336
Yes, that's it.
337
No, Mr. Singh's not on your team.
338
Whoops!
339
And Singh has the ball, and he's passing it.
340
Hmm.
341
Dad, to me! To me!
342
Heads up!
343
No, Mr Singh, honey's the opposition. Is she?
344
It's no use.
345
The grown -ups are hopeless.
346
I'm here.
347
Just in time, Dad.
348
The grown -ups keep forgetting whose team they're on.
349
Well, it's not our fault.
350
We're not wearing any team colours.
351
Ha -ha!
352
Apart from Shane.
353
Oh, yeah.
354
That was the beetroot water.
355
You should have worn one of your new aprons, eh?
356
That's it.
357
That's the answer.
358
Penny, I'm gonna need your help with this.
359
Of course, Shane.
360
Everyone else stay here and keep practicing.
361
Okay.
362
One saucepan of pink beetroot water and one load of small aprons.
363
You're going to dye the aprons pink.
364
Yep.
365
Well, half of them anyway.
366
They'll make the perfect bibs for one of the teams.
367
Fantastic.
368
Oh, I hope this works.
369
Whoa!
370
That's awesome!
371
Looks like Eddie wants to be on a team as well.
372
He's got better ball skills than a grown -up.
373
Where is Shane?
374
I'm sure he'll be here soon.
375
Oi, oi!
376
I'm here!
377
OK, you two, heads or tails?
378
Whoever guesses right, their team gets to wear the pink bibs.
379
Tails.
380
Heads. And hits it is!
381
Here you go, Mario.
382
Cool.
383
The pink team is gonna win.
384
Shoot!
385
Here we go!
386
Here, tackle him!
387
Oh, lucky!
388
Ah, that's a free kick.
389
Here we go.
390
Fantastic!
391
Oh!
392
Wah -ha -ha -ha!
393
Woo -hoo!
394
Great save, JG.
395
Great save, JG.
396
Great save, JG.
397
Great save, JG.
398
Can you tell who's the best footballer yet?
399
It's me, isn't it?
400
Nope.
401
It'll all depend on the final score.
402
Wahey!
403
Yaaah!
404
Demi!
405
Demi!
406
Demi!
407
Whoa!
408
Great interception, Mum!
409
Hi!
410
Go, Mama!
411
Jaws are like coming through!
412
Ha ha ha!
413
Oh!
414
Phew!
415
Oh, no!
416
Oh, calamity!
417
Goal!
418
Hey, that's not fair.
419
Pass it over, Eddie.
420
Go!
421
Hey, hey!
422
Goal!
423
Hey, that's not fair.
424
My cakes are ready.
425
It's a draw!
426
It's official.
427
Honey and Mario, you're both as good as each other.
428
OK, agreed.
429
Agreed.
430
Oh, Shane!
431
These ham and wheat fruit rolls are delicious.
432
I'm saving myself for the cakes.
433
Here you go.
434
My special tournament cupcakes.
435
Wow, they look fab.
436
Team captain first.
437
Alright.
438
Mmm.
439
What are they made of?
440
Is it chocolate?
441
Not exactly.
442
A little cocoa but mostly...
443
Beetroot!
444
Oh, um...
445
Mmm.
446
I love beetroot!
447
Back of the oven!
448
Yay!
449
Great!
450
Let's get cooking in...
451
Cook Off!
452
With James the chef!
453
She's like my basil plants.
454
Oh!
455
Oh, it smells gorgeous, Izzy.
456
He goes well with pasta too, uh -huh.
457
I'll water them later.
458
Dad's in the kitchen.
459
I'm going to film him making fresh...
460
Pasta.
461
Ah, perfect timing, Mama Polenta.
462
I'm ready to make the pasta dough.
463
I love pasta.
464
Mmm, me too.
465
Ready to roll, Izzy?
466
Ready and.. recording.
467
Hello, everyone.
468
Welcome to the Shane the Chef channel.
469
Today I'm going to show you how to make the perfect pasta.
470
I mix flour and eggs just like this.
471
Then combine it by hand to work it into a dough.
472
Ahoy there!
473
I've got today's delivery!
474
Oh, Sam.
475
I'll finish filming later, Dad.
476
Oops!
477
Sorry about that.
478
I didn't mean to interrupt.
479
No problem, Sam.
480
Oh, looks like you've had a busy morning.
481
Oh, aye.
482
The early bird catches the worm.
483
Or in this case, the shellfish.
484
Ooh.
485
What's that you're making?
486
Pasta.
487
You know, it would be delicious with my special bolognese sauce.
488
Oh, no. Seafood is best with pasta.
489
What sauce are you making, Dad?
490
Eh, I'm not sure.
491
Probably something simple and fresh to show off the pasta.
492
But my recipe is so rich and tasty!
493
Ah, but you can't beat freshly caught seafood.
494
But mine is a true Italian recipe.
495
And mine is straight from the sea to the plate.
496
Can't beat it.
497
Yes, I can!
498
No, you can't.
499
Hey, let's have a cook -off in the town square.
500
You'll have one hour, and then the customers can pick the winning dish to go on the menu at Fresh.
501
Oh, mamma mia, but I couldn't.
502
It would be too easy What with my quality seafood?
503
I don't think so Only a true Italian can make the perfect pasta sauce We'll see
504
You're going to love my bolognese everyone Wait till you've tried my seafood pasta.
505
One time I fed it to the pirate Longbeard.
506
Of course, he still wanted me to walk the plank.
507
Er...
508
And there we have it.
509
Taglitelli pasta.
510
Nice one, Dad.
511
The Shane The Chef channel viewers will love to learn to make pasta.
512
Great!
513
But I hope we've made enough.
514
We're gonna be needing extra helpings today.
515
Er...
516
Dad?
517
I think we've got plenty of pasta now.
518
Oh...
519
Yeah, OK, you're right.
520
Come on, then.
521
Let's go and see how the competition is heating up.
522
You go ahead.
523
I'm going to water my basil.
524
Give it to me, Sam!
525
But I need it!
526
No, I do!
527
Give that to me!
528
That is mine!
529
Uh -oh.
530
Whoa, there.
531
There's plenty of pans for both of you.
532
This one's for you, Sam, and this one's for you, Mama Polenta.
533
Oh, thanks.
534
Oh, er, thank you.
535
Yay!
536
Oh, blooming onions.
537
Always making me cry.
538
Oh!
539
Are you sad at the thought of losing, Sam?
540
No, crying for you because you're going to be in floods of tears when my seafood sauce steals the day.
541
Your mum and son are hilarious.
542
This is way better than TV.
543
I know.
544
Hey, where's Izzy?
545
She's missing all the fun.
546
I'm going to find her.
547
Here we go.
548
Yeah.
549
Yeah.
550
Izzy, are you in here?
551
There you go.
552
Here's that drink I promised you.
553
You're very thirsty, aren't you?
554
Err.
555
Ah, whoa.
556
Maybe a little bit.
557
Oh, um, hi Mario.
558
You gave me a fright.
559
Who were you talking to?
560
Oh, my plants.
561
It's supposed to help them grow.
562
What kind of plants are they?
563
Basil.
564
This one's ready to pick.
565
What for? To eat.
566
Basil tastes great with pasta.
567
But it's green.
568
It's really tasty.

Who Will Benefit from This Video?
This video is perfect for beginner to intermediate English learners aiming to practice everyday conversation. Itโs ideal for those focusing on practical vocabulary (food, fitness, community) and natural dialogue flow. The cartoon-style storytelling keeps it engaging, making it great for learners who want to learn English with videos while improving listening and speaking skillsโespecially for shadowing practice, where you repeat lines to mimic pronunciation and rhythm.
Useful Words & Idioms to Add to Your Vocabulary
- Tip-top shape: In excellent physical condition. Example: "Running a restaurant keeps me in tip-top shape."
- Get the ball rolling: Start a process. Example: "We need someone to sign up first and get the ball rolling."
- Sponsored run: A run where people donate money based on your performance. Example: "We can hold a sponsored run to help the donkey sanctuary."
- Sign up: Register for an activity. Example: "Will you sign up for the run?"
These phrases are common in casual speech, making them essential for english speaking practice. Try using them in your own sentences to reinforce learning.
How to Mimic the Accent & Pronunciation
The video features clear, conversational English with a friendly toneโgreat for shadowing. Focus on:
- Reduced speech: Phrases like "I'll ride over" and "It's still early" are spoken quickly. Use a shadowing app to repeat these lines, paying attention to how "I'll" and "it's" blend with the next word.
- Intonation in questions: "Where are you off to?" rises at the end. Practice this upward inflection to sound natural.
- Stress on key words: In "It's a great way to get fit," stress "great" and "fit" to emphasize the point. A shadowspeaks tool can help you compare your stress patterns to the speaker's.
For best results, use shadow speak techniques: pause the video, repeat each line immediately, and record yourself to check for clarity. This method builds confidence and improves fluency fast.
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 โ like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1โ2 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 โ making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
