Creating lesson...
1
Yo, Sonny, check it out!
2
We're Verity!
3
Uh, this isn't cool, bro!
4
What happened to me?
5
I don't want to be this yellow ball!
6
He's so cursed!
7
He's only cursed when you're not Verity.
8
But when you become Verity, it's awesome!
9
Let me show you all of his abilities.
10
Okay, this seems pretty cooked.
11
Oh, this isn't cooked.
12
But when you activate monster mode...
13
Ah!
14
What is that thing?
15
Get away from me!
16
It's me, Sonny!
17
I'm in monster mode!
18
When a round is so messed up and how many hits does it take to kill a rabbit?
19
You just slaughtered that little guy.
20
It still takes two hits.
21
I do four times the melee damage in Verity mode.
22
Amazing brother.
23
What do you mean still two hits?
24
Normally it takes like five hits.
25
Yeah, but I was hoping I would one -shot it.
26
Unfortunately, I still don't.
27
You are so cursed, bro.
28
I do not like the way you move.
29
It's okay.
30
I'm no longer the Verity monster, Sonny.
31
Because you can only become the monster once per day.
32
Okay, interesting.
33
So I should stay as this adorable little ball and not do anything too cooked with monster mode.
34
Yes, for now.
35
At least wait till we expand the fire.
36
Okay, me chop down trees because me Verity.
37
There's still one more Verity ability I haven't told you about yet.
38
Oh no, that is very concerning.
39
What the heck else can this little ball do?
40
Put a log in the fire?
41
That's me.
42
I'll show you.
43
We just gotta find something.
44
Follow me, follow me.
45
I'm following you, but I don't see anything special out here.
46
Just gotta find a chest.
47
I would recommend leveling up the fire if you want that.
48
Here, let me help.
49
I'm gonna get some coal pieces.
50
I got a little lump over here.
51
And I got another lumpy in here that should be enough for me to get you a level three fire.
52
Yep.
53
I'm helping out as well I'm rolling on in boom level three now.
54
Let's find ourselves a chest.
55
All right.
56
I'm with you Roly -poly -oly style bro.
57
This is crazy.
58
Let me guess Verity's superpowers that every chest in the game has been removed what it feels like But check it out.
59
We found a bathroom, which means there should be a chest in here.
60
It's in the boys room Here it is open up that chest.
61
Okay.
62
Open session This chest will give me a revolver.
63
Bro, why did I get so many items?
64
I got three spears!
65
Bro, that's actually perfect!
66
In monster mode, our melee damage gets upgraded.
67
So now that we have a better melee weapon, they're super overpowered.
68
Oh my goodness, I'm slapping these wolves down too, don't mess with Faraday.
69
And I got a lot more spears, bro.
70
You got like five spears from that chest.
71
Yeah, we do not need all those spears.
72
What I'm doing now is heading to the campfire.
73
Just gotta mash up a rabbit really quick.
74
Grab this and this.
75
Now I got trades when the pelt man spawns in.
76
Good stuff, Sonny.
77
My name is Verity.
78
Treat me with the respessasid I deserve.
79
What are you talking about?
80
Bro, I deserve respect.
81
Otherwise, I'm gonna curse your world.
82
Actually, technically, Sonny, right now, your name's Rathu.
83
Shut up.
84
Don't call me Rathu.
85
That was to troll you, and it was a one -time thing.
86
Now I'm stuck as Rathu.
87
Fault is
88
that my fault I should have read the fine print I
89
can only change my display name every seven days I thought I could just spend Robux to change it back.
90
Nope doesn't work like that.
91
Whatever.
92
I am the wrath you and I will Ratata all of these entities now where the wolves defending dino kid.
93
I want to enter monster mode.
94
Oh, bro You're gonna annihilate those wolves.
95
I found them.
96
Hello my pretties watch me cook Die!
97
Die!
98
Oh my gosh, I almost died.
99
I thought I would get a little more health in monster mode.
100
I guess not.
101
Yeah, you gotta be extra careful.
102
And I'm gonna put this kid in my sack.
103
I'm gonna loot his chest.
104
Oh, my body looks cooked.
105
I got leather body that's on my hands only.
106
Yeah, dude.
107
Nice gauntlets.
108
They're more like sock and boppers.
109
It's more fun than a pillow fight.
110
And I'll kill you with them.
111
Are you trying to kill me?
112
We're on the same team.
113
Yeah, but you weren't a monster like I was.
114
Also, check me out now that I'm a ball.
115
You got your two gauntlets on your side.
116
They look like shoulder pads now.
117
Yeah, you trying to catch these shoulders?
118
No, I'm not!
119
Stop being weird!
120
We need to work together to survive till 99 days!
121
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we got this in the bag, bro.
122
Verity could probably just tell the game, uh, skip to night 99 and you'll probably just do it.
123
Okay, it's not working.
124
Hey, it was worth a try though.
125
It was worth a try.
126
Maybe I just used the wrong command or maybe only monster Verity can use those.
127
I don't know.
128
I'm still stuck with this old sack.
129
I've murderized so many bunnies, but none of them have dropped a bunny foot.
130
Well, doesn't that suck to be you?
131
Sucks to be a ball sometimes.
132
Nah, not me, dude.
133
Not me.
134
I just keep rolling on, rolling through life.
135
Remember, chests are overpowered as Verity, so make sure you open all I've been looking for chests, but I'm not finding any.
136
Plus the chests around us right now are trash.
137
We have to upgrade the campfire.
138
Yeah, I'm going monster mode just to find loot.
139
Where is all of the loot?
140
It needs it.
141
It needs the fuel.
142
Yeah, maybe if you open a chest you could get multiple fuel cans.
143
Well, that would be goaded.
144
Well, I found another chest.
145
I'll unlock it right now. And...
146
What?
147
I just got a bandage from that.
148
Do not open chests in Verity Monster mode.
149
It scams you.
150
Wait, you didn't even get four items?
151
I got one item.
152
Yeah, that's what happened to me with my body armor, but I thought maybe it was just because it was armor.
153
I think it's because we're in Verity Monster mode, and only the ball gets three items.
154
That makes sense.
155
So the ball gets bonus loot because he's cute and he's cuddly, and then the monster gets bonus damage because he's evil and cursed.
156
Yes.
157
So when you're looting, make sure you're the ball.
158
Yep, that sounds like a good game plan.
159
The deer started attacking me.
160
I open a chest and got another fuel can.
161
I think I could level this fire up.
162
Nice.
163
I'm opening a chest now.
164
Give me four fuel cans.
165
Nope.
166
I got leather body, good axe, and a spear.
167
I'm dropping this loot off.
168
Fuel can one.
169
Fuel can two and that was enough to level up the fire.
170
Excellent work, Melon.
171
And I have found a barn.
172
Inside of this barn, there's always a chest.
173
Oh, no. Melon Verdi can barely climb ladders.
174
That was cooked.
175
And this chest is cooking up.
176
Oh, look at that loot.
177
Revolvers, diamonds.
178
That was nice.
179
Okay, can I climb a treehouse ladder?
180
Let's see.
181
Oh, no. Definitely not.
182
I couldn't look for fuel today.
183
Oh, that's a good idea.
184
I see some cultists who need to die!
185
Oh no, first person.
186
There we go.
187
Got him.
188
Now I pillage their chest loot.
189
Are you in monster mode?
190
Yeah, I was, my bad.
191
You fool.
192
It's all good.
193
Verity got a gun now.
194
I got a rifle.
195
I'll show you how to effectively use monster mode.
196
Let's go!
197
Take these alpha wolves!
198
Oh, they almost killed me.
199
Wait, bandage.
200
Take them down!
201
Let's go!
202
You gotta be careful in monster mode.
203
You can still die very easily.
204
fuel cans.
205
Oh, spears again.
206
All right, I've shrank down.
207
So I'm going to find more fuel in that form, but I didn't really find anything.
208
Well, I'm going to loot this chest and finally pull some fuel canisters.
209
Let's cook.
210
Oh, iron chest plate, ammo, good sack, rifle.
211
I mean, that's pretty good loot, all things considered.
212
Well, time for me to return to the campfire.
213
I got quite a bit of items.
214
Knocking the chest in Kraken Kid's area.
215
Bro, I got two iron bods.
216
Let's go.
217
Double armor, Gabby.
218
I'm scrapping my materials, and I have a lot of fuel to cook.
219
I will get us a level five fire.
220
Never mind, 58%.
221
But I got a fuel canister, so maybe I can increase that even more.
222
70%, nice.
223
Also, if we're trying to survive 100 nights, I'm gonna get us this good bed to speed things up.
224
Yeah, that's a good idea.
225
Boom, there it is.
226
Now we'll need some cultist gems to get the final bed, Looking for fuel.
227
Gotta take advantage of your monster mode.
228
You get to do it once a day.
229
I'm saving it to kill bears later.
230
Okay, what?
231
You're doing that today?
232
Maybe.
233
Maybe I will.
234
Will, maybe you won't.
235
We just have to level the fire up first.
236
I'm doing right now.
237
Looking for fuel.
238
I am surrounded by alpha wolves, but they can't touch this.
239
What is this?
240
Buns.
241
I don't want those items.
242
Ow.
243
So how did you climb a ladder?
244
I didn't.
245
Oh, guess we can't access tree houses then.
246
Yeah, the barn, I was able to make the jumps up the ladder rungs, but I couldn't do it for the tree house.
247
Oh, we got a nice chest over here.
248
It's time to scoop.
249
Oh no, the cultist is on me.
250
Open it, please.
251
Yes, double fuel cans and a strong flashlight.
252
That was huge.
253
Hey, I got a fuel can.
254
Nice.
255
We can definitely level this fire up.
256
I'm heading back to the base.
257
And for the cultist gems, we could go monster mode and hunt down cultists in the volcanic biome and then sacrifice them to the lava.
258
You're right.
259
We'll be able to do that so fast.
260
Well, there we go.
261
Level five fire.
262
And let's craft ourselves a sundial.
263
That's what I'm talking about right now.
264
Now we keep track of the time.
265
You're gonna kill squid kid.
266
I'd like to but those bears might hurt me.
267
Well, I'm not scared.
268
I got 15 seconds.
269
Let's go I'm quick with it.
270
Hope you have some medical supplies.
271
These bears are cooked.
272
These bears are cooked.
273
Where's the other one?
274
Oh?
275
you Chop him up.
276
Oh, why did an alpha wolf join him?
277
Doji, you needed medical supplies.
278
That's okay, Rathew's back.
279
Brother, I had bandages.
280
I just didn't think an alpha wolf was gonna rock up and hit me.
281
Well, I'll finish the job as a little beardy ball.
282
Wait.
283
I think I'm glitched!
284
What if I have infinite monster powers and I'm a ball now?
285
Oh, never mind, my speed went away.
286
Doesn't last forever, Sonny, unfortunately.
287
I actually just died.
288
Are you serious?
289
"Oh, cringe bro, you should have brought medical supplies." I had medical supplies!
290
I couldn't for the life of me find Squid Kid's location!
291
"Bro, you have a mini -map.
292
It literally tells you." I know, and then the second I whipped out my mini -map, Sonny, I fell in a trap.
293
And then the second the deer swiped me, putting me at one hit.
294
I went to heal, and then an alpha wolf came out of nowhere and killed me.
295
Well, maybe you should try getting good.
296
Well, maybe you should try actually saving Squid Kid, like me, who's going to save him before you.
297
That's fine.
298
You can have the glory.
299
It sounds like you need a little pick -me -up.
300
I'm out here gathering up cultist bodies to make a big sacrifice.
301
Wait, Sonny, I just realized.
302
Squid kid, what kind of chest does he have?
303
Oh, this is good.
304
He's got a ruby chest, Sonny.
305
He's got a ruby chest!
306
I'm too big to pick it up right now, though.
307
I am going to get so much loot.
308
Let's go.
309
What am I getting?
310
What am I getting?
311
What am I getting?
312
Two chainsaws and kunai.
313
That's it?
314
Oh my god.
315
I've been scammed.
316
What's done sonny?
317
Give me a tactical shotgun.
318
Give me a thorny body and a chainsaw and I actually don't really know what else I want.
319
I got a thorny body.
320
Take that.
321
I didn't get a tactical shotgun though.
322
I got kunai's.
323
Two kunai's.
324
I got a strong flashlight and a rifle in this house for you if you want it.
325
Maybe a strong flashlight.
326
I already got a rifle.
327
Melon, I found a barn house on the edge of the map.
328
Maybe we're gonna get another red chest.
329
Come on.
330
Climb up this ladder.
331
I want from it?
332
Oil barrels.
333
Oh ho ho!
334
Two of them!
335
Oh that's huge actually.
336
We can max out our fire soon.
337
I mean Sonya had a maxed out fire.
338
We can find a ruby and even emerald chests.
339
We are going to become the most powerful beings in the forest.
340
Yes indeed we shall.
341
Okay, I'm gonna return to the fire It's time to scrap all this stuff up and level up the campfire.
342
Here we are time to scrap it And let me put my dead cultists with the other ones.
343
And then add this fuel to the fire.
344
Oh yeah, we're good.
345
Two more fuel cans over there.
346
Boom!
347
Maxed out.
348
Let's go.
349
And we got Squid Kid.
350
And we got a jam in the forest.
351
Oh my goodness.
352
We are Zooming, bro.
353
Day 16.
354
And what, it's gonna upgrade to like day 21?
355
Heck yeah, it is.
356
Koala Kid's location is to the west.
357
Before we go and attack Koala Kid, I think we gotta find some emerald chests and try and get ourselves an evening star.
358
Yes, we need the most powerful melee weapon in the game.
359
Plus Monster Verity's strength.
360
Absolutely.
361
I'd also like an emerald chest plate, so I'm tankier.
362
Yeah, you gotta upgrade your armor, brah.
363
I got a thorny body.
364
Oh wait, I could also go for an infernal blade and cook everything.
365
Wait, what the?
366
Come Verity monster many, many times.
367
- What are you talking about?
368
- Oh, I got spammed with a message.
369
Yeah, I'm gonna go monster mode real quick.
370
I gotta get to the volcano biome.
371
Bruh get down.
372
I'm gonna kill you.
373
Another one.
374
Oh, I'm back to being a ball.
375
I only killed like four cultists sadly.
376
I'll come over there and help you out.
377
I just gotta unlock another Ruby chest real quick.
378
Nice.
379
And I got a riot.
380
I got two riot shields.
381
Wow, that was trash.
382
Don't wear any body here if you want it though.
383
Nah, I'll get an emerald chest plate when the time's right.
384
I'm gonna go hunt some cultists.
385
It's time we need to get all those cultist gems.
386
I'm in monster mode.
387
Where are these cultists?
388
I mean, you could just go to the volcano.
389
I have 13 cultists already.
390
No, Dad.
391
I'll kill them all.
392
Alright, well I got 15.
393
I just need to go in the volcano now.
394
There's another one right here.
395
Yeah, my inventory's pretty full, but I'll pick it up.
396
Die all you cultist scum!
397
Alright, I cleared them out.
398
Wow, that is beautiful.
399
Great work, Barity.
400
You're welcome, Barity.
401
And now I make the sacrifice...
402
And check it out, we got all of the gemstones.
403
Nice.
404
I don't think we have enough wood or scrap to make this giant bed though.
405
I have three chairs.
406
That's actually pretty good.
407
I got two more.
408
And nighttime's approaching.
409
I want to get back to the fire and warm up.
410
Absolutely.
411
There we go, scrap it up.
412
And let's see...
413
Crafting bench level four, purchase.
414
And if we want to get ourselves the giant bed, all we need is six logs.
415
Oh, I got that.
416
Nice.
417
You can craft it.
418
Gigantic bed acquired.
419
Our day multiplier is almost maxed out.
420
We just have to save Koala Kid.
421
Yep, which we shall do on the morrow.
422
But first, we gotta upgrade our weapons.
423
Let's find an emerald chest.
424
In that case, we should split up and cover more ground.
425
An emerald chest is what I have found, and I will open it and I will get a ray cannon and an emerald chest plate, and I don't even know what else.
426
Oh, I got a mining helmet ray cannon.
427
Please tell me something fell off the back of it.
428
Dang it!
429
That was it!
430
I didn't get the armor.
431
Sonny, we're not after the armor.
432
What we're after is that evening star.
433
And I'm about to get one right here.
434
Oh no, I got emerald armor.
435
Okay, okay, we need to swap spots.
436
So you see where I'm at?
437
Yeah, I'm gonna trade places with you.
438
Sounds good.
439
I left the armor for you.
440
Oh good.
441
I left a ray cannon for you.
442
Loki also, I want this mining helmet.
443
Yeah, I grabbed it too.
444
You don't even see it on your little ball head.
445
I am going monster mode.
446
That way I could run to your emerald chest faster.
447
What's the building?
448
Keep going up.
449
Keep going up.
450
It's one of those houses.
451
Dude, dude, look, you're discovering new land.
452
Open the mini -map.
453
Oh no, the bear.
454
The bear is after me and I'm getting stuck on the staircase.
455
If I die like this, I'm blaming you.
456
Why is this my fault?
457
It doesn't matter.
458
I made it.
459
I got emerald armor.
460
I'm opening the chest.
461
Give me that evening star.
462
Oh, I got it!
463
Evening Star!
464
The best melee weapon in the game!
465
Peep this drip!
466
This thing is crazy strong!
467
Hopefully I get one too, come on!
468
Yes, I got it as well and emerald armor, which is actually even stronger than thorny body armor.
469
Let's go with our new items We can destroy the bears who are protecting koala kid Absolutely, but I have to wait till tomorrow cuz I went monster mode.
470
I guess I'll wait for you then I'm gonna hide behind this rock and I could kill them all right now, but I won't.
471
The next day.
472
Ah, another beautiful day in Verity's forest.
473
Melon, are you ready to kill these bears?
474
I'm looking at them.
475
I'm going monster mode, Sonny, and I'm heading to Koala Kid right now.
476
My turn!
477
Monster mode!
478
Evening star!
479
Bro, I look so...
480
Flippin cooked.
481
Take these bears down!
482
Going in!
483
Too tappered!
484
I'll kill the wild ones too!
485
The armor actually made a huge difference.
486

What You'll Practice in This Lesson

This lesson uses a lively Roblox gameplay video to help you improve your English speaking and listening skills. You'll practice understanding casual, conversational speech—complete with slang, exclamations, and quick back-and-forth dialogue—while also working on your pronunciation through shadowing. The video's energetic tone and real-world interactions make it perfect for mastering natural English flow.

Key Vocabulary & Phrases

  • Cursed: Describing something unlucky or eerie (e.g., "He's so cursed!").
  • Slaughtered: To kill quickly or brutally (here, in a playful context: "You just slaughtered that little guy").
  • Melee damage: Damage dealt with close-range attacks (common in gaming: "I do four times the melee damage").
  • Cooked (slang): Crazy or unexpected (e.g., "This seems pretty cooked").
  • Level up: To improve or upgrade (gaming term, used here: "I would recommend leveling up the fire").

Practice Tips for Shadowing Success

The video's fast pace and casual tone make it ideal for practicing the shadowing technique. Start by watching the video once to grasp the context, then play short 5-10 second clips. Pause, then repeat the lines immediately, mimicking the speakers' intonation, speed, and emphasis—this is shadow speech. Focus on phrases like "Yo, Sonny, check it out!" to nail conversational rhythm. For tricky parts, slow down the video speed (most platforms allow this) and practice until you match the natural flow. This method is proven to improve English pronunciation by training your mouth and ears to adapt to real-world speech patterns. Use a shadowing site if you need tools to loop clips, but even repeating directly from the video works. Remember, the goal is to sound natural, not perfect. Embrace the playful energy of the dialogue—this will help you feel more confident when speaking English in casual settings. With consistent practice, you'll notice your ability to keep up with fast conversations and pronounce slang terms like a pro.

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.
