1
On a sunny spring day, everyone was on the streets to find a Father's Day gift.
2
The toy maker, Geppetto, who was standing alone in his shop, was looking out sadly.
3
Because he didn't have a son to give him a Father's Day gift.
4
His cat Tutu came and sat on Geppetto's lap.
5
Oh, I wish I had a child!
6
Meow. Of course.
7
You're a child of mine, Tutu.
8
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
9
Geppetto wanted to make a childlike toy for the first time that day.
10
And he took a piece of pine tree stumps and began to carve it.
11
Ouch!
12
What?
13
Did you say something, Tutu?
14
Geppetto heard strange sounds as he carved the lock.
15
Ow!
16
While Geppetto was painting the stump he had delicately carved,
17
he left it on the table and went out in front of the shop with curiosity.
18
At that time, the log in the form of a puppet boy jumped up from the table.
19
Geppetto couldn't believe his eyes.
20
Hello!
21
There was a talking puppet standing in front of him.
22
You!
23
You're a talking puppet boy!
24
You are my Father's Day gift!
25
Father's Day?
26
Are you my father?
27
Yes, son!
28
You are now my son, too!
29
And your name is...
30
Let me think...
31
Pinocchio!
32
Pinocchio!
33
Let me cook you a nice meal Pinocchio!
34
When Geppetto went inside a mischievous woodpecker came to Pinocchio.
35
Hey kid, talk talk.
36
What are you waiting for?
37
The weather is beautiful!
38
Come out!
39
Out?
40
Yup!
41
Tuck, Tuck!
42
Go and run free!
43
As the woodpecker said, Pinocchio went outside and started running.
44
When Geppetto returned, he could not see his son where he had left him and was very alarmed.
45
He went out and ran to find him, but because he was too old, he got tired and sat down.
46
Pinocchio, on the other hand, was running around and got lost in the bazaar.
47
Ah, I mixed all the roads!
48
How will I go back to my father now?
49
As Pinocchio wandered around sadly, his stomach rumbled with hunger.
50
He saw a beautiful fruit stand up ahead.
51
He dipped his hand and took a banana.
52
Hey, kid.
53
You can't have my fruits for free.
54
Don't you have parents?
55
You have to give me money!
56
Oh well, I actually have a lot of money, but at home!
57
At that moment, Pinocchio's nose began to grow!
58
Huh?
59
My nose!
60
What's wrong with my nose?
61
My nose, my nose, my nose!
62
Pinocchio was running around in panic.
63
If you have money, you should bring it right away, kid!
64
Oh no, no!
65
Don't be angry!
66
I can't because I don't have any money, sir!
67
When Pinocchio told the truth, his nose returned to its original state.
68
But he ran away without realizing it.
69
Finally, he stopped in front of a window and looked at his reflection in the glass.
70
My nose is the same as before!
71
Master Geppetto looked for his son from street to street until dark.
72
Finally, when it started to rain, he started to wait in a corner, hoping that maybe his son would pass there.
73
Where are you, Pinocchio?
74
My dear son, where are you?
75
Pinocchio, on the other hand, was drenched in the rain and smelled like wet wood.
76
He desperately jumped into a trash can to shelter from the rain.
77
But in the morning, he realized that he was not alone in the trash can.
78
Hey, wooden kid!
79
I'm very hungry!
80
Let me nibble on a piece of your foot and fill my stomach!
81
Pinocchio was so scared that he wanted to leave immediately.
82
But the mouse grabbed Pinocchio's foot with his huge hands.
83
No!
84
Let me go!
85
My dad is a tiger!
86
If he sees you, he'll eat you in one bite!
87
If your father was a tiger, you would have a tail too!
88
Yes, I already have a tail!
89
When Pinocchio lied, his nose grew again.
90
My nose!
91
Then give me a bite of your tail!
92
Pinocchio jumped out of the trash can in fear.
93
Don't bite!
94
I have no tail!
95
I have no tail!
96
Pinocchio stood in front of a puddle and was relieved to see his reflection
97
that his nose had returned to its original state.
98
Hmm, that means I have a nose that gets longer when I lie and shorter when I tell the truth.
99
However, he did not notice the evil thief approaching him silently from behind.
100
When the thief saw a puppet running and walking by himself, he wanted to steal it and sell it.
101
Thanks to you, I can make a huge amount of money.
102
I'm rich now!
103
Let me go!
104
I'm a real kid!
105
I'm not a talking puppet!
106
Master Geppetto looked at every shop and every street he saw throughout the day, but he could not find Pinocchio.
107
Maybe my son went to the beach, but what if he fell into the sea?
108
Geppetto rushed to the shore and began to look for him, calling out.
109
In the meantime, he saw a strange-looking big man carrying a large cloth bag on his back.
110
He approached him and asked him if he had seen a puppet child.
111
Recognizing his father's voice, Pinocchio immediately started screaming.
112
Dad!
113
I'm here!
114
I'm here!
115
When Geppetto heard the voice of his son Pinocchio, he asked the man to give him back.
116
The man on the other hand said that he would sell him and make a lot of money, and pushed Geppetto aside and continued walking.
117
At that time, Pinocchio lied constantly inside the cloth bag.
118
Hmm, and uh, I'm a thief too!
119
Um, well, I've got a lot of money!
120
The color of my hat is also red.
121
And that way, his nose grew and the cloth bag was pierced.
122
And he jumped out of the hole and ran to his father, Geppetto.
123
Daddy!
124
My son!
125
When the thief noticed this, he angrily walked up to them.
126
Geppetto threw the fishing net on the ground at the thief.
127
The thief got caught in the net and lost his balance and fell into the sea.
128
Deppero and his son Pinocchio hugged each other tightly.
129
Pinocchio immediately restored his nose by telling all the truths he knew.
130
And also, I'm a good kid.
131
I don't want to upset anyone.
132
Besides, I love my dad so much!
133
At that moment, a miracle happened, and Pinocchio became a child of flesh and blood.
134
From that day on, all the fathers and sons of the city believed that miracles are created out of love, not lies.
135
Once upon a time when Rapunzel, who had long golden hair, heard about the circus coming to the city,
136
she got down from her tower with excitement and went to the market.
137
When she saw the colorful lights and tents, she went inside.
138
While she was wandering around admiringly, she heard someone crying from afar.
139
Why would anyone cry in such a happy place? thought Rapunzel.
140
She approached the lion which was standing there with its back turned with curiosity.
141
Dear lion, is it you who is crying?
142
The lion looked a little unhappy but said, No, I'm not the one crying.
143
This time Rapunzel saw the panda trying to ride a unicycle.
144
Panda, are those sobs coming from you?
145
Panda looked at Rapunzel with surprise.
146
Uh-oh, he replied.
147
I can't cry riding a unicycle.
148
Rapunzel continued on her way, but suddenly a clown blocked her way.
149
Come on, let's laugh a little.
150
He said and walked away, spinning the ball.
151
While Rapunzel was watching the clown with admiration, the crying was heard even closer.
152
Rapunzel couldn't believe her eyes when she entered another small tent ahead.
153
Because the wooden boy Pinocchio was looking at her from inside the cage, crying.
154
Pinocchio, are you the one crying?
155
Who locked you here like this?
156
No, no, I am not crying.
157
As soon as he said this, Pinocchio's nose grew longer.
158
Rapunzel insisted that he tell the truth, but when Pinocchio said, I am not crying, I am very good.
159
Again, his wooden nose grew longer again.
160
Oh, Pinocchio, why are you lying?
161
I see.
162
Look, your nose is getting longer.
163
Come on, tell me.
164
Why are you locked in this cage?
165
Pinocchio told Rapunzel that the circus owner had deceived him and imprisoned him here.
166
Moreover, everyone is forced to work here, he said Rapunzel was very sad about the situation of Pinocchio
167
and the others It turns out that no one was happy in the circus that she was so curious about Hmm,
168
well, I have a good plan in mind Rapunzel quickly went and appeared in front of the circus owner Hey circus owner,
169
I am a very famous magician and this is my magic cabinet.
170
I can help you make a lot of money.
171
The evil circus owner accepted the offer as soon as he heard about money.
172
The circus was packed.
173
After acrobatics and exciting shows, Rapunzel appeared on stage.
174
For this crazy show, I invite the circus owner to the stage with your applause.
175
The circus owner went on stage accompanied by applause and entered the closet unaware of everything.
176
As soon as Rapunzel said, Hocus Pocus, every part of the cabinet was locked.
177
The person you see here is forcing everyone in the circus to work.
178
He's a bad person.
179
Come on, my friends.
180
Run away from the circus.
181
No!
182
The audience applauded when they learned the truth.
183
In this way, while all the animals escaped, Pinocchio came and hugged Rapunzel.
184
Thank you so much, Rapunzel, for being so kind-hearted and saving us all.
185
The greedy circus owner who did everything back for money was finally punished.
186
However, real wealth arises from cooperation and solidarity, like the one between Rapunzel and Pinocchio.

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.
