1
Who are you?
2
And what are you doing at my table?
3
I'm so sorry.
4
What an idiot.
5
Go away.
6
I will.
7
I'm sorry.
8
Quickly.
9
Hey, what is going on here?
10
This criminal was stealing our food.
11
I'm sorry.
12
I should leave.
13
No, no, wait.
14
You must be very hungry.
15
You can eat.
16
We don't mind.
17
Henry, can we invite all the homeless people from the neighbourhood to our table?
18
Thank you so much, but I've had enough shame for now.
19
No, hold on.
20
Do you need a job?
21
Do you have something to offer?
22
Well, we need a maid in the house.
23
A rich man invites a poor girl to his place.
24
Isn't this the beginning of a fairy tale?
25
But what followed wasn't fabulous at all.
26
I am Martha, and this is my love story.
27
Wonderful!
28
You found someone for the job?
29
Maybe we can find someone better in the trash.
30
Lily, be polite.
31
You yourself asked me to hire a maid because with the wedding coming up, you have no time for a housework.
32
Yes, but you should have hired some old lady, not this...
33
I've lost my appetite.
34
No, she's not going anywhere.
35
She's gonna work for us.
36
I've made up my mind.
37
I'd been working at Henry's house for several weeks.
38
It seemed that peace had finally come to my life.
39
But I was wrong.
40
Hello?
41
This voice was very familiar to me.
42
I ran away from him, never to hear it again.
43
But here he was again.
44
It's me!
45
Open it! Be careful!
46
Sorry...
47
And open at last.
48
I'm sorry, I can't.
49
Why did you run away?
50
I wanted to introduce you to Ben, my right-hand manning business.
51
Another time, please.
52
Sorry.
53
Okay, no problem, but what is going on with you?
54
Hey, hey, you're shaking all over.
55
Don't worry about me.
56
I'll be back to my duties soon.
57
Don't be in a hurry.
58
Alright.
59
The main thing is to know that you are safe here.
60
No matter what happened before.
61
I am by your side.
62
And I won't let anyone hurt you.
63
Henry!
64
Ben is waiting for you.
65
In another room.
66
On my way. Do you know Ben?
67
Yes, please, I'm begging you, don't tell him up here.
68
Oh, I won't tell anything.
69
I promise.
70
You know what?
71
I'm glad that you are with us.
72
Like, really.
73
You're such a nice girl.
74
And I trust you.
75
Can you come here for a second?
76
I want to show something.
77
Henry was just adorable.
78
As if the prince himself was getting married.
79
How do I look?
80
I think it suits you. Does it?
81
I don't really like it.
82
Maybe it could use a little change. Can I?
83
Yes, of course.
84
Sorry.
85
Look now.
86
Wow.
87
It's a whole new look.
88
But nothing will save a face like mine.
89
Don't be ridiculous.
90
You're very handsome.
91
Lily is so lucky to have you. But... Am I?
92
What do you mean?
93
Lately I don't think Lily is being sincere.
94
As if the love between us has disappeared.
95
It seems she wants something completely different from me.
96
I think it's just your pre-wedding titters.
97
Lily's a perfect girl.
98
And I think that true happiness awaits you.
99
I'm not so sure, but after talking with you, I feel better.
100
Henry and I became close.
101
I started to notice how he was looking at me.
102
Differently.
103
He spent more time with me than with Lily, who only came around when she needed some cash.
104
At that time, how could I have known what a horror was waiting for me?
105
Yes?
106
Is the groom ready for the altar?
107
One thing remains the wedding vows Can I rehearse with you?
108
Yeah, sure Your kind eyes conquered me from the moment I met you I dream about them every night
109
I dream of holding her hand for the rest of my life. And I...
110
You wrote a beautiful speech for a lily.
111
Actually, it's not what I wrote.
112
I was just improvising right now, looking at you.
113
Martha!
114
Open the door!
115
They broke my wedding dress.
116
Hurry!
117
I can't do this.
118
It's all wrong.
119
Martha, what happened?
120
What happened?
121
I'm sorry, but I won't be able to attend your wedding.
122
Aww.
123
Did you just now realize that stories about rich men and a poor girl only exist in fairy tales?
124
You think I haven't seen you hanging around my fiancé?
125
You should know, my little maid, that if you keep clinging to him, Ben will find out you're here.
126
Marta?
127
Hey, where are you going?
128
I won't disturb you again.
129
No, hold on, hold on.
130
Listen, maybe it's crazy, but I can't let you go.
131
Just say one word and I will cancel the wedding.
132
Mr. Jones, don't be ridiculous.
133
Ferrisers aren't real.
134
I wandered around the city aimlessly for several hours.
135
But my feet just sort of brought me to him.
136
I wasn't a part of the celebration.
137
It made me sad to see Henry. For the last time.
138
Well, Martha...
139
You thought I'm not gonna find you.
140
Let me go.
141
No, now I will never let you go.
142
Now we will be together forever.
143
There is no way I'll go back to the hell I would fool you.
144
Shut up, shut up.
145
Hey, let her go.
146
Now it is clear where the bruises on her wrist came from.
147
Mr. Jones, she's just a young fool.
148
She ran away from me although I gave her everything.
149
But now she's coming home.
150
No!
151
No, you're wrong.
152
Marta is not going anywhere with you.
153
And you'd better leave before I kick your ass.
154
And expect a visit from the police, you bastard.
155
Get out!
156
Why didn't you tell me everything right away? Who would you believe?
157
Your right-hand man?
158
Or a girl from the street.
159
I was afraid that she would bring me back to him.
160
I will never let you go.
161
What's going on here?
162
I realized that I was leading the wrong person to the altar.
163
No, no, no, Henry!
164
You can't do that!
165
Like, we should have read our vows already!
166
I tried to write mine, but all I could think about was Martha.
167
I cancelled the wedding.
168
It wouldn't be fair to you, Lily.
169
But you promised me the car after the wedding!
170
So that was your main goal?
171
Well, you'll have to walk.
172
Scumbag!
173
Ah!
174
Thank you for appearing in my life.
175
We all make mistakes.
176
But the main thing in love is to make the right choice when your time comes.
177
Thank you.

  • On your second viewing, pause frequently and use shadow speak by mimicking the characters' lines immediately after they are spoken. Pay attention to their emotions and expressions.
  • Repeat challenging sentences several times until you feel comfortable with the pronunciation and rhythm. This is particularly useful for preparations like IELTS speaking practice.
  • Record your own voice while shadowing to analyze your pronunciation and intonation. Compare it with the original video to identify areas for improvement.
  • Lastly, try to use the new vocabulary in your own sentences. This not only reinforces memory but also prepares you for real-life conversations.

By practicing consistently with this engaging content, you will improve not only your speaking skills but also your listening and comprehension abilities, making it easier to engage in everyday conversations.

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.
