1
Little Red Riding Hood Once upon a time there was a forest where the trees were big and green.
2
They were so old that they had heard all the stories of goblins and fairies and always slept dreaming with princesses.
3
It was the forest where in a hidden place,
4
almost secret, a mother and her little girl lived.
5
No one knew the girl's real name,
6
but everybody called her Little Red Riding Hood.
7
Mother, there were so many people calling me Little Red Riding Hood that I can't even remember my own name.
8
Oh darling, when you were a baby I always put on you a red hood that your grandmother gave you.
9
You looked so beautiful.
10
Everybody started calling you like that since then.
11
From that moment on, every year your grandmother knits for you a bigger hood with the same red color,
12
just like your mouth's color.
13
The last time I was at my grandmother's,
14
she told me that my new hood was almost ready!
15
Little Red Riding Hood, I just baked an apple pie.
16
You should take it to Grandma's house.
17
Oh, but wait!
18
I'm afraid you get distracted playing in the forest and might encounter the big bad hole.
19
You know he's a cheating awful animal and he will do anything to turn you into his dinner.
20
Little Red Riding Hood was a very beautiful but stubborn girl,
21
so she didn't take seriously her mother's advice.
22
Don't be afraid, Mom.
23
I know the way, and I'll go by the path that the hunter watches,
24
where the wolf doesn't dare to pass.
25
That way, I'll be always safe.
26
Are you sure?
27
Oh, my girl, just remember that you should never play with the wolf.
28
But Little Red Riding Hood had other plans.
29
She wanted to explore the forest.
30
She said goodbye to her mother,
31
and she left carrying a basket with the delicious pie.
32
The mother didn't see what the tree saw.
33
If she had, she would have ran behind the girl to keep her safe.
34
In the forest, there was a great pine tree so old he hadn't sung his birthday for a thousand years.
35
He slowly whispered to a little pine tree.
36
Little pine, there goes Little Red Riding Hood disobeying her mother.
37
Look how she goes into the forest by the path that isn't watched by the hunter.
38
But Ol' Pine, that part of the forest is very dangerous.
39
There in the deep left the big bad wolf and they say he hasn't ate in months.
40
What do we do, little pine?
41
I got it!
42
Let's move our branches with all of our strength so that little red riding hood lessens and hopefully stops.
43
We can try, but I can assure you that people Never listen to any advice from trees!
44
Little Red Riding Hood heard how the tree branches moved
45
and thought for an instant that it was the big bad wolf that was coming her way. But...
46
The wolf!
47
Doesn't matter.
48
I'm not scared of any big bad wolf.
49
And she started to pick up flowers of every color to decorate the basket she was taking to her grandmother.
50
Very close to her, grey claws with large nails moved among the bushes
51
and shiny red eyes watched attentively Little Red Riding Hood's silhouette.
52
Minutes later, the inevitable happened.
53
Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf went face to face.
54
Hi, Little Red Riding Hood.
55
I'm glad that you came to the forest to play,
56
and I would love to give you a very...
57
warm welcome.
58
Big fat wolf!
59
They've told me awful things about you.
60
But I can see that you're very friendly.
61
They call me Big Bad Wolf,
62
I'm the bad guy of the story I'm much faster than the wind,
63
just train me, you will see Big Bad Wolf is the bad guy of the story He's much faster than the wind,
64
just try him, you will see Now I'm Danny Wolf goosebumps,
65
and I'm drooling on the floor When I'm thinking that by then,
66
it's this little girl I'm seeing When I look into the mirror,
67
I'm so proud of what I see Such a fright I'm in when I'm woke,
68
that is what I love to feel
69
They call me Big Bad Wolf
70
He's the bad guy of the story I'm much faster than the wind
71
He's the same hidden from the sea They call me Big
72
Bad Wolf He's the same hidden from the sea I'm much
73

74
I'm so proud of what I see Such a frightened big bad wolf,

76

77
and it's time for me to eat her Eeeegh!
78
Come with me, Little Red Riding Hood.
79
I'll show you how nice I can be if you accept to be my guest.
80
It would be wonderful, Mr...
81
Wolf.
82
Heh.
83
But I have to take this guy to my grandmother's and...
84
Oh, that's a shame.
85
And can we play maybe for a little while?
86
I'm really sorry, but if I don't get there soon,
87
my grandmother will get very worried.
88
Hmm, how about a race?
89
If we race, it won't take you long.
90
Look, I'll go this way,
91
and you'll go that way,
92
and whoever gets to your grandmother's place first will be the winner.
93
The wolf wanted to eat Little Red Riding Hood.
94
So he decided to trick her and send her to the longest
95
and most difficult path so he would be sure that he would arrive first.
96
Little Red Riding Hood was so excited to play with her new friend
97
that she accepted without knowing that she was being tricked by the big bad wolf.
98
The race started and the wolf arrived much earlier than Little Red Riding Hood.
99
He thought that he could also eat her grandmother,
100
so he thought of an evil plan to do it.
101
Grandmother!
102
Grandmother!
103
The cheater called.
104
faking his voice so it would seem like Little Red Riding Hood's voice.
105
Who is it?
106
The old lady asked from inside.
107
I'm Little Red Riding Hood!
108
Open up!
109
Your voice sounds very weird, Little Red Riding Hood.
110
Grandma!
111
Quickly!
112
Open!
113
The wolf is coming!
114
Grandma opened the door, and as soon as the wolf saw her,
115
without hesitation, he ate her.
116
He put on the grandmother's clothes and glasses,
117
and with his disguise, he laid down in the bed and waited for Little Red Riding Hood to arrive.
118
The Old Pine, with its amazing height,
119
saw from above what was happening,
120
and the Little Pine, since he couldn't help Little Red Riding Hood, cried.
121
Old Pine, we have to do something!
122
We have to help her, please!
123
I have an idea, little guy.
124
We are going to move our branches,
125
all of us, all the trees of the forest at the same time.
126
Maybe that way, the hunter will know what's happening at Grandma's house.
127
Yes, yes, it has to work.
128
Meanwhile, little Red Riding Hood arrived at her grandma's filled with joy to tell her
129
that she had won a race against the big bad wolf.
130
She was so proud and enthusiastic that she didn't notice that the wolf was on her bed disguised as her grandma.
131
Grandma, I just want to race against the big, fat wolf.
132
I found him in the forest and...
133
Grandma, why do you have such big eyes?
134
So I can see you better, my child?
135
And why do you have such big ears?
136
So I can hear you better!
137
Yes, but why do you have such a big nose?
138
So I can smell you better! And...
139
Why do you have such a big mouth?
140
So I can eat you better!
141
Why are your eyes all shiny?
142
Oh why, oh why, oh why?
143
And they are so big and yellow Oh why, oh why, oh why?
144
So I can see you better Pretty lovely dog This is not even my voice Cause I'm the babe that was
145
Why is your nose so pointy?
146
Oh why, oh why, oh why?
147
So shippy and so hairy Oh why, oh why, oh why?
148
So I can smell you well Your perfume I desire Crazy for your smell Cause I'm the baby wolf
149
Why is your mouth so gigantic?
150
Oh why, oh why, oh why?
151
With those big and scary teeth Oh I, oh my, oh my!
152
So I can eat you all Your taste is what I crave
153
So I can eat you all So I can eat you all So I can eat you better
154
Set the wolf jumping out of bed,
155
taking off the disguise and showing his sharp teeth.
156
Little Red Riding Hood tried to escape,
157
but it was too late.
158
The wolf jumped and caught her in his claws.
159
Help!
160
Someone help me!
161
Old Pine and Little Pine's idea had succeeded.
162
The hunter was alarmed just when he was passing by the house listening to Little Red Riding Hood's screams.
163
Wolf, stop!
164
He yelled from the door,
165
pointing his gun at the wolf.
166
The wolf got so scared that his eyes went red and his hands came to the ground while opening his big mouth,
167
letting the scared grandmother out.
168
Without thinking about it, the hunter grabbed the wolf by his ears
169
and pushed him out of the house with all his strength.
170
The wolf ran through the forest and was never heard from again.
171
Little Red Riding Hood returned home with her grandmother and the hunter,
172
Old Pine, Little Pine and all the trees and animals of the forest heard her sing this song.
173
The wolf is a very good,
174
not so brave after all With his curly fur,
175
shiny teeth and pointy claws But the hunter like a thunder,
176
shouting, rescue In the moment even see the time unbeat With my silk and little flake
177
Now that the worst has passed That great lesson is at hand
178
Always hear your mother Cause they want the best for you
179
With the wolf no games no more In his tricks I'll never thought What if no hunter save us?
180
Though the story would be told What if no hunter save us?
181
Another story will be told

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.
