Hot off the press!

Oh… I want to read it… I’ll take this one.
5
I have the gift certificate here.
6
Oh… I’m so jealous… Mom!
7
Mom! Jadoo!
8
Didn’t I tell you to take out your lunch box and tidy up after school?
9
That’s not important right now.
10
I’m in a hurry!
11
Mom, I need some allowance.
12
I need to buy the new comic book.
13
Allowance? You have plenty of books already!
14
Go clean your room!
15
Will you give me money if I do?
16
Yeah, right!
17
Why would I give you money for comic books?
18
Aw, come on!
19
I hate you!!
20
Ugh… Dear me… Ugh, I wish money could fall from the sky… You can’t wait for fortune to just come to you like that.
21
What are you talking about?
22
If you want fortune to come, you have to do something to merit it to come to you.
23
Yeah, so how?
24
Ta-da! What’s that?
25
The story we’ll send to a radio show.
26
It’s for their “Happy Home” segment.
27
Get a life… If they pick your story, they give you a gift certificate.
28
Well! Why didn’t you say so?
29
Oh, this won’t do!
30
No! Ahhh! Oh..
31
What do we do?
32
How come nothing is easy in this world?
33
How can writing a story be so hard… It sounded easy when I listened to them… Hey, Jadoo.
34
How about we write one together?
35
If we get picked, we can split the gift certificate in half.
36
3 to 2! Okay! I only need two certificates to buy what I need.
37
All right! Let’s see what we’ve written so far.
38
What did you write about?
39
Huh? What? What?
40
There’s nothing to write about for our family.
41
The whole country will be listening.
42
We can’t say our dad is messy.
43
And we can’t say our mom is cheap.
44
It wouldn’t be picked anyway.
45
You know, how about a happy story of three kids with a cool dad and an elegant mom?
46
Okay! Let’s write it.
47
We don’t have time.
48
It should be on by now… It’s right after this.
49
Yes, that was a great song.
50
And here’s our most popular segment.
51
“Happy Home.” Here’s our story for today.
52
What are you girls listening to?
53
Shh! We’ve gotten a lot of stories from you this week.
54
The winner for today is… Choi!
55
Ja! Yeon! Aw, come on… Got excited for nothing.
56
What’s going on?
57
What is it?
58
Dad, could you give us some allowance? Please?
59
Dad~~ Girls. I would love to… But I don’t have any money of my own.
60
Not even for emergencies… Sorry… They’ll run out of all the new editions.
61
Jadoo, we need an emergency strategy.
62
Strategy? Yes!
63
All the stories that were picked so far Are out of this world… They’re totally drama-worthy.
64
Yeah… That’s why ours won’t get picked… I have a great idea!
65
Mimi, we don’t have time to be so idle.
66
They say imitating is the beginning of creation.
67
Let’s get inspired by this.
68
Shh! Be quiet!
69
Something important is going to happen today!
70
Both of you stop fighting now.
71
The truth is… You are… Brothers.
72
Brothers from different mothers.
73
Wow! How did you know?
74
It’s nothing special.
75
Mother… Please… Please let us get married, Mother… That lady is her mom.
76
I’m sorry… I’m your mother… Huh?
77
No more! Come on, Baby, let’s read a book.
78
No more TV for today!
79
Yeah, no more for our Baby.
80
Come with me. Mimi!
81
Okay! Baby, since when were you so/ all-knowing of dramas?
82
Seriously! You just knew what they were going to say next!
83
I don’t know.
84
I always watched them with Mom, and one day, I just knew.
85
Then if we mix what you know, we could create an extraordinary story. Right?
86
Story? I-I mean, a very fun story.
87
Baby, let’s start slowly from the beginning.
88
Long ago in a village, there were three little siblings.
89
What happens next? What about the mom?
90
A mean old stepmom that bullies them!
91
And then? The kids become happy later.
92
What about the villain?
93
The evil stepmom gets punished!
94
Wow, Baby, you’re so smart!
95
Oh, you precious little angel!
96
Oh, I’m so nervous… Shh!
97
Now it’s time for the “Happy Home” segment, where the winner gets gift certificates.
98
Here is today’s pick.
99
Reading this story just broke my heart and gave me the feels.
100
It brought me to tears because I was so moved.
101
Today, the story is from Choi Jadoo, who sent us the story “We Are The Three Siblings.” Wow!!!
102
We are the three siblings.
103
Let’s quiet down and listen.
104
Actually, our family has a rather extraordinary story.
105
On the outside, we look like a happy family, but that’s not the truth. It’s because of our scary stepmom.
106
Our stepmom is nice to us normally, but when Dad’s not home, she completely changes.
107
She makes us do all the chores and always scolds us.
108
We thought about telling our dad all this, but we didn’t want to make him feel sad, so we’ve been hiding it. I hope one day I can be happy.
109
Jadoo. I can sense your love for your father and siblings.
110
Don’t lose courage, and hang in there!!
111
I’ll send you five gift certificates!
112
Yay!! What… are you girls doing?
113
Mom, when did you… Mom, did you hear the radio?
114
Yes. I did… (gasp) Oh my goodness.
115
What an awful mother she is… I feel so bad for the kids.
116
You two… Hm?
117
Consider yourselves lucky!
118
There are kids out there who don’t lose hope even with such an awful mother… I don’t think she heard my name.
119
That was so close!
120
Yeah. That was a close one.
121
Hey. I heard everything on the radio.
122
(Gasp) Oh… Baby. Well… Mom! Mm! Mmmph!
123
You guys… I’ve never seen these before. Where did you get them?
124
We didn’t order anything… These are presents from all over the country.
125
Presents? You must have the wrong house… We didn’t… These are good kids!
126
Be nice to them!
127
What? Thank you!
128
Goodbye! You must be Jadoo. (Sad) I heard your story too… One block of tofu, please.
129
No! I can’t believe you’re so awful.
130
I’m not selling my tofu to you!
131
What? What are you… We heard everything on the radio Jadoo!
132
You must’ve suffered so much from such an awful mother… Ma’am! You’ll be punished for your sins one day!
133
What did the kids ever do to you?
134
Take this and share with your siblings.
135
Jadoo, you can come to me anytime you’re hungry.
136
Jadoo… Tell me what’s going on… W-Well… It’s her.
137
Oh, what an awful person!
138
No! My mom is not an awful mother!
139
She’s a good mother!
140
Wait! Just listen to me!!
141
I heard everything on the radio.
142
Ma’am, you shouldn’t be such a bad person.
143
Ugh! Who was that! Don’t hurt my mom!
144
The story… was all made up.
145
I just wanted the gift certificates. I’m sorry!
146
Oww! What in the world is going on?
147
Was it just a prank by some kids?
148
Kids these days… I’m sorry.
149
Are you done?
150
Finish washing the dishes and go do laundry!
151
Oh, Mom! I didn’t even do my homework yet… I’m sorry, Mom.
152
I’m sorry… Who are you?
153
Who’s your mother?
154
Aw, come on… I don’t have any daughters.
155
Mom~~ What are you doing?
156
There’s a ton of more chores to do!
157
Mom!! We’re sorry!!!

Focus on understanding familial relationships, expressing needs, and navigating daily life scenarios.

Practice Tips

To effectively improve your speaking skills using this video, consider using shadowing techniques, which involve mimicking the speech patterns of the characters. This technique, known as shadowspeak, allows you to absorb the language organically. Listen to the dialogue carefully and repeat phrases in real-time. Focus on the speed and tone of the speakers, which are essential in conversational English.

When practicing with this video, try the following:

  • Set your playback speed to normal at first. Pay attention to pronunciation and intonation.
  • Use a shadowing app to track your progress and compare your speech with the original audio.
  • Repeat sections multiple times, gradually increasing your fluency and confidence.
  • After shadowing, summarize the story and express your own thoughts about it to enhance both speaking and comprehension skills.

Using these strategies will not only boost your confidence in English speaking practice but also prepare you for various speaking scenarios, including exams like the IELTS.

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.
