(narrator): Daddy, Peppa and George have come to the supermarket.
102
- Daddy, what things do we need to make jelly?
103
- Well, we don't need flour, or eggs, or milk, or butter.
104
To make jelly, we just need, uh...
105
jelly! - It doesn't look very wibbly or wobbly.

123
- Right! Let's make jelly!
124
(giggles) First, we open the packet and take out the jelly cubes.
125
- Ooh, they are a bit wibbly and wobbly.
126
- We break the jelly cubes into a bowl, and add some hot water.
127
A grown-up must do this bit.
128
And stir. - The water has gone strawberry colour!
129
- Yes! The jelly cubes have melted.
130
Now we can pour it into the jelly mould!
131
(children): Ooh!
132
- The fridge will make it go cold and wobbly.
133
- How long will it take? (snorts) - Not long, let's set the timer.
134
When the timer goes "ping" the jelly will be ready.

Love from Peppa and George.
141
Kiss, kiss." Umm...
142
"Please, can you share your jelly with Peppa and George?" (coughs) "And can Daddy have some too?" - Lovely.
143
(dinging) (narrator): The timer has gone "ping" and the jelly is ready!
144

(narrator): Peppa is drawing a picture. - Look!
160
I've drawn me and George!
161
- That's lovely, Peppa!
162
- When I was a little piggy, I used to do drawings in my diary.
163
- What's a diary?
164
- It's a storybook you make about the things you do each day.
165
This is my old diary.
166
- Oh! - This day, I got up and I played in the garden.
167
Next day. Got up. Played in the garden.
168
Next day... - You got up, played in the garden!
169
- No. Next day, got up. Played in the garden.
170
Then the circus came to town!
171
Here is the big tent with acrobats flying about!
172
- Wow! I want to keep a diary!
173
- Good idea, Peppa!
174
- You can start your very own diary.
175
- Oh, goody! I'm going to draw in my diary everyday!
176
- It is the next morning.
177
Peppa is asleep. (cock-a-doodle-doo) - Morning time!
178
I got up. I played in the garden.
179
Then what happened? - Grrr!
180
- Oh yes! George's dinosaur said "grrr".
181
but that is not interesting enough for my diary.
182
- Daddy Pig and Mummy Pig are getting lunch ready.
183
- Mummy, I've run out of things to put in my diary. - Oh.
184
Why don't you tidy your room?
185
- But it needs to be something exciting!
186
You went to the circus!
187
- Hmm. I've got an idea!
188
Daddy Pig, please fetch the toy basket!
189
- Right you are, Mummy Pig!
190
- Daddy Pig is taking the toy basket into the garden!
191
- What are we doing? - We can make our own circus!
192
- Roll up! Roll up!
193
See the amazing Mummy Pig juggle before your very eyes!
194
- Watch, as Daddy Pig juggles with four plastic skittles!
195
- Ho ho! George please hold this hoop.
196
And now, Mummy Pig will jump through the hoop.
197
- Oh, okay! Drumroll please.
198
(drumroll) Hoopla! (together): Hooray!
199
- This is just like a real circus!
200
- And now! Peppa Pig will jump through the hoop!
201
- Drum roll please!
202
(drumroll) Hoopla!
203
(all): Hooray!
204
And now, George Pig! (drumroll) - Hoopla! (all): Hooray!
205
(snort) - Now, it's Daddy's turn!
206
- Yes... The hoop seems to have shrunk since I last used it.
207
I've got a better idea!
208
(laugh) - Where is Daddy going now?
209
- Ta Da! Woah...
210
Here's my old unicycle.
211
I used to ride it a lot before I met Mummy Pig.
212
- Do be careful, Daddy Pig.
213
- It's alright! I know what I'm doing!
214
Ah! Where are the brakes? (scream) Ta Da! (all): Hooray!
215
- That was the best circus ever!
216
Now I've got lots to put in my diary.
217
- It is bed time for Peppa and George.
218
(clears throat) - Today...
219
I got up. I played in the garden.
220
And then the circus came to town!
221
Ta Da! - What a busy day!
222
- Yes! And tomorrow, I will do lots more things and draw them in my diary.
223
- Peppa loves keeping a diary!
224
Everyone loves keeping a diary!
225
(Peppa): Jumping stick!
226
(narrator): Today, it is raining at Peppa and George's house.
227
(doorbell ringing) - Package for you, Daddy Pig.
228
(whispering): Ah, thank you, Mr. Zebra.
229
- What have you bought off the internet this time, Daddy Pig?
230
- I-I don't know.
231
It could be a... (fanfare) Ah!
232
- What's that? - It's a jumping stick.
233
(Mummy Pig sighing) - Yes!
234
I thought it might be fun!
235
- You've got a lot of fun things already in the cupboard, Daddy Pig.
236
- Ah, but this was the best kind of fun when I was a little piggy.
237
I remember bouncing around for hours on one of these.
238
- How does it work? - I'll show you.
239
- I think jumping sticks are an outside toy, Daddy Pig. (chuckling) - Don't worry, Mummy Pig. I'm a bit of an expert at this.
240
Ha-ha! See? Oops!
241
(crash!) - Daddy Pig?!
242
- Perhaps the jumping stick is an outside toy.
243
Once you find your balance, it's the most fun thing in the world!
244
You see? Easy as pie. (exclaiming) (crash!) - Oh!
245
- Hmm. Not quite as much fun as I remembered.
246
- Oh, poor Daddy Pig. Are you alright?
247
- I'm fine. But I think there's something wrong with this jumping stick.
248
- No, no, I think it's working fine.
249
- Can I have a go, Mummy? (snorting) - Okay.
250
But maybe you should wear your cycle helmet, too.
251
(giggling) - Ah! It's impossible!
252
- Hmm. The ground is too soft.
253
- No, no. The ground is fine. (George snorting and giggling) (narrator): George wants a go on the jumping stick.
254
- I think you're too little, George.
255
But you can try if you wear a helmet.
256
(giggling) - Here. Let me help you.
257
- Oh. - Yes, George, you are too little for jumping sticks.
258
- Oh, I think jumping sticks are for big boys and girls.
259
- Like me! I'm a big girl!
260
- Well... Peppa, I-- - Mummy, Daddy, George, you can go now.
261
I am going to learn the jumping stick.
262
- Okay, but just be careful.
263
(bell ringing) (narrator): Pedro Pony, Danny Dog and Suzy Sheep are here.
264
- Hello, Peppa. What's that?
265
- It's called a jumping stick! (others): Ooh!
266
- What do you do with it?
267
- You stand on it and jump!
268
- Why? - Because my daddy said it was fun.
269
- Go on, then. - It is very hard to do it.
270
You need to practise a lot.
271
- Show us, Peppa! - Let's count the bounces!
272
(kids): One-- - Wah!
273
- It doesn't look that much fun.
274
- It gets more fun if you do more bounces.
275
- Can I have a go? - Yes.
276
(others): One, two... (giggling) - My turn!
277
(others): One, two, three! (giggling) - Pedro, do you want a go? - No, thank you.
278
I can bounce on my super space hopper!
279
It's the same as your jumping stick, really.
280
- But you stand up on that.
281
- Yes, but they are both good at bouncing. (giggling) - Have another go, Peppa. - Okay!
282
Wah! - Peppa, are you alright? - Yes, Mummy.
283
But maybe I'm not big enough for the jumping stick yet.
284
(chuckling) - At least you gave it a try.
285
- Shall I put it in the cupboard now?
286
- Uh, no, no. I want another go, please.
287
(laughter) - Don't be sad, Peppa.
288
The jumping stick is not easy.
289
- I'm not sad, Daddy, because I know a really fun way of jumping!
290
And you don't need to practise it!
291
Whee! (giggling and snorting) Jumping up and down in muddy puddles! (laughing) (narrator): The jumping stick is fun for big boys and girls, but muddy-puddle jumping is fun for everyone! (laughter)

Practice Tips
To make the most of your english speaking practice using this transcript, consider utilizing the shadowing technique to enhance your pronunciation and intonation. Start by listening to the episode segment at a slower speed, allowing you to catch every phrase and emotional nuance. As you repeat after Peppa and George, pay close attention to their giggles and expressions, which convey excitement and playfulness. This will help you mirror their tone and rhythm, making your practice more engaging and authentic.
For effective shadowing, try the following:
- Listen to a sentence, pause, and then repeat it, imitating the characters' expressions.
- Focus on the natural flow of conversation instead of just pronunciation—this is key to achieving fluency.
- Record your voice while shadowing to assess your progress and make necessary adjustments.
- Practice regularly using this shadowing site format to build confidence and develop a more fluid speaking style.
Remember, consistency is crucial when mastering a language. The more you engage with fun content like this, the easier it will become to speak naturally. Happy shadow speaking!
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.
