1
This is the story of a little girl, her grandma, and a big bad wolf.
2
The little girl lived in a little white house.
3
The house was in a village, and the village was near a forest.
4
She was a good little girl.
5
Her mother and father loved her very much.
6
Her grandma loved her very much, too.
7
The little girl's grandma lived in a very old house in the middle of the forest.
8
The little girl often went to her grandma's house.
9
One Christmas, grandma gave the little girl a beautiful red cloak with a hood.
10
Oh, thank you, said the little girl.
11
She wore the cloak all day on Christmas Day and the next day, too.
12
She wore it all the time, so people gave her a new name.
13
They called her Little Red Riding Hood.
14
One day, her mother said, Little Red Riding Hood, your grandma is ill.
15
Go to her house and take her this basket of bread and butter.
16
Walk quickly to her house.
17
Don't stop and play.
18
And don't leave the road.
19
Do you understand?
20
Yes, Mother, said
21
Little Red Riding Hood.
22
Little Red Riding Hood took the basket and ran into the forest.
23
She walked very quickly.
24
She did not stop and play.
25
But soon after, she saw a wolf.
26
Hello, said the wolf.
27
How are you today?
28
I'm very well, thank you, she answered.
29
But my grandma is ill.
30
I'm taking this basket of bread and butter to her.
31
Are you, said the wolf.
32
That's interesting.
33
The wolf was very hungry.
34
He looked at Little Red Riding Hood with his big, hungry eyes.
35
Where does your grandma live? he asked.
36
She lives in a little old house in the middle of the forest,
37
said Little Red Riding Hood. Is it far?
38
No, it's very near here.
39
Mmm, thought the wolf.
40
Perhaps I can eat this little girl and her grandma.
41
Look over there, said the wolf.
42
Can you see those nice flowers?
43
Does your grandma like flowers?
44
You can go and get some for her.
45
Oh, no, I can't, said
46
Little Red Riding Hood.
47
I can't leave the road.
48
But you can come back to the road later, said the wolf.
49
Yes, that's true, said
50
Little Red Riding Hood slowly.
51
I can.
52
Oh, all right.
53
So she walked through the trees to the flowers.
54
Now the bad wolf ran quickly to Grandma's house.
55
He went to the door and knocked.
56
Who is it? called Little Red Riding Hood's grandma.
57
It's me, Grandma, the wolf answered.
58
It's Little Red Riding Hood.
59
Open the door and come in, dear. Where are you, Grandma?
60
called the wolf.
61
I'm upstairs in bed, dear.
62
I am ill today and I can't get up.
63
I've got some nice bread and butter for you.
64
called the wolf.
65
He went up the stairs and ran into grandma's bedroom.
66
Then he jumped onto the bed and opened his big mouth and ate her.
67
The wolf put on one of grandma's night dresses and got into her bed and waited.
68
He waited for Little Red Riding Hood.
69
Little Red Riding Hood got lots of beautiful flowers in the forest.
70
Then, suddenly, she remembered her grandma.
71
Oh, dear, she said.
72
I'm going to be late.
73
She ran back to the road, and soon she came to her grandma's house.
74
She stopped when she saw the open door.
75
That's strange, thought
76
Little Red Riding Hood.
77
Why is Grandma's door open? And she went in.
78
The wolf heard
79
Little Red Riding Hood.
80
Who is it? he called.
81
It's me, Grandma.
82
It's Little Red Riding Hood.
83
I'm upstairs in bed, dear, called the wolf.
84
I am ill today, and I can't get up.
85
So Little Red Riding Hood went up the stairs.
86
Grandma's voice is very strange today, she thought.
87
It's because she's ill.
88
Little Red Riding Hood went into the bedroom.
89
Hello, Grandma, she said.
90
I am sorry you are ill today.
91
Look, I've got some nice bread and butter for you.
92
And some beautiful flowers.
93
Thank you, dear, said the wolf.
94
Put them on the table and come here.
95
So Little Red Riding Hood put down her basket and went to the bed.
96
Oh, Grandma, she said.
97
You look very strange today.
98
And suddenly she was afraid.
99
Oh, Grandma, said
100
Little Red Riding Hood.
101
You've got very big eyes today.
102
That's because I want to see you, my dear, said the wolf.
103
Oh, Grandma, said
104
Little Red Riding Hood.
105
You've got very big ears today.
106
That's because I want to hear you, my dear, said the wolf.
107
Oh, Grandma, you've got a very big nose today.
108
That's because I want to smell those beautiful flowers, my dear.
109
Oh, Grandma, said
110
Little Red Riding Hood.
111
You've got a very big mouth today and a lot of very big teeth.
112
Yes, my dear, said the wolf.
113
And that's because I want to eat you.
114
And the wolf jumped out of the bed and ate
115
Little Red Riding Hood.
116
Now the wolf was big and fat, and he wanted to go to sleep.
117
He took off
118
Grandma's nightdress and put it on the floor.
119
Then he got back into bed and went to sleep.
120
Soon, he began to snore loudly.
121
He snored.
122
Soon after, Little Red Riding Hood's father came to the house.
123
He saw the open door.
124
That's strange, he thought.
125
Why is the door open?
126
And what's that noise?
127
Snored the wolf.
128
Grandma's voice is very strange today, thought Little Red Riding Hood's father.
129
He went upstairs to Grandma's bedroom.
130
He looked at the bed and saw the wolf.
131
It's you, he said.
132
He knew about the wolf.
133
All the men in the village wanted to find it and kill it.
134
What are you doing in Grandma's bed?
135
Well, you can't run away now.
136
And he took his knife and killed the wolf.
137
Then he thought, Perhaps Grandma is alive.
138
So Little Red Riding Hood's father took his knife and cut open the wolf.
139
And Little Red Riding Hood jumped out.
140
Oh, Father, quick!
141
Help Grandma!
142
She's in there, in the dark!
143
Then Grandma jumped out.
144
Oh!
145
Oh!
146
Where's that bad wolf?
147
she said.
148
Everything's all right now, said
149
Little Red Riding Hood's father.
150
The wolf is dead.
151
So Grandma had a cup of tea and some nice bread and butter.
152
Then Little Red Riding Hood and her father went home to their little white house.
153
Little Red Riding Hood ran to her mother and told her everything.
154
But it's all right now, she said.
155
Yes, said her mother.
156
But Little Red Riding Hood, do not talk to wolves again.
157
And do not leave the road when you go through the forest.
158
Do you understand?
159
Yes, Mother.
160
After that, Little Red Riding Hood always stayed on the road,
161
and she never saw a wolf again.

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.
