29
You want to look smart, answer their question with your own question, and then answer that question like this.
30
Excuse me, Officer Hopps, what can you tell us about the case?
31
Well, was this a tough case?
32
Yes.
33
Yes, it was.
34
Do you see?
35
You should be up there with me.
36
We did this together.
37
Well, am I a cop?

No. No, I am not.

Funny you should say that.

Because, uh, well, I've been thinking it would be nice to have a partner.

Officer, it's time.

So now, I'll turn things over to the officer who cracked the case.
47
Officer Judy Hobbs.
48
Yes?
49
What can you tell us about the animals that went savage?
50
Well, the animals in question...
51
Are they all different species?
52
Yes.
53
Yes, they are.
54
Okay, so what is the connection?
55
All we know is that they are all members of the Predator family.
56
So, Predators are the only ones going savage?
57
That is accurate.
58
Yes, that is accurate.
59
Yes.
60
Why?
61
Why is this happening?
62
We still don't know.
63
But, uh, it may have something to do with biology.
64
What do you mean by biology?
65
A biological component, you know, something in their DNA.
66
In their DNA?
67
Can you elaborate on that, please?
68
Yes.
69
What I mean is, thousands of years ago,
70
predators survived through their aggressive hunting instincts.
71
For whatever reason, they seemed to be reverting back to their primitive savage ways. Are we gonna try?
72
Officer Hopps, let it happen again!
73
It is possible.
74
So we must be vigilant.
75
And we at the ZPD are prepared and are here to protect you.
76
We're more mammals than savage!
77
What is being done to predators?
78
Have you considered a mandatory quarantine on predators?
79
Okay, thank you, Officer Hopps.
80
That's all the time that we have.
81
No more questions. Was I okay?
82
Oh, you did fine.
83
Oh, that went so fast.
84
I didn't get a chance to mention you or say anything about how we...
85
Oh, I think you said plenty.
86
What do you mean?
87
Clearly there's a biological component.
88
These predators may be reverting back to their primitive, savage ways.
89
Are you serious?
90
I just stated the facts of the case.
91
I mean, it's not like a bunny could go savage.
92
Right, but a fox could, huh?
93
Nick, stop it.
94
You're not like them.
95
Oh, there's a them now.
96
You know what I mean.
97
You're not that kind of predator.
98
The kind that needs to be muzzled?
99
The kind that makes you think you need to carry around fox repellent?
100
Yeah, don't think I didn't notice that little item the first time we met.
101
So, let me ask you a question.
102
Are you afraid of me?

Boost Your English Speaking with This Zootopia Press Conference Clip

What You'll Learn

This lively scene is perfect for english speaking practice! You'll master two key skills: handling quick back-and-forth conversations (like Judy's nervous prep) and delivering clear, confident answers (ideal for IELTS speaking practice). Plus, you'll learn how to pivot questions smoothly—notice how characters redirect with phrases like "Funny you should say that" to stay in control of the conversation. These are real-world tools that work in interviews, meetings, or even casual chats!

Listen For These Sounds

Native speakers often link words or reduce sounds—listen closely and you'll hear it! For example, "I'm Gazelle" becomes "I'mGazelle" with no pause, and "can't you see" shortens to "cancha see." Even "Chief Bogo" gets a quick, connected "ChiefBogo" in the chaos. These small tweaks make your speech sound natural, and practicing them with the shadowing technique (repeating lines right after the speaker) will help you internalize them fast. Pro tip: Use a shadowing app to slow down the audio and catch every link!

Say It Like a Native

Rhythm and stress are key to sounding confident. In Judy's nervous "I'm so nervous," the stress is on "nervous"—it's short and sharp, showing her anxiety. When the chief says "You were just trying to protect your job," the stress lands on "job," emphasizing his point. Mirror this by stressing the most important words in your sentences. Try shadowspeaks (repeating lines with the same energy and pace) to nail the rhythm. You'll be surprised how quickly your speech starts to flow like a native's!

Ready to practice? Hit play, pause, and repeat—this clip is your ticket to more natural, confident English. Whether you're prepping for a test or just want to chat better, these skills will take you far!

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.
