Chapter 2.
2
Saying Goodbye to America It was a lot of news for a seven-year-old boy.
3
Uncles dying, an English grandfather, a new home in England, a new name.
4
He did not understand it all at first.
5
And when he did, he was not very happy.
6
Oh, dearest, he said to his mother.
7
Cedric's father always called her dearest, and so the little boy used the name too.
8
I don't think I want to be an earl.
9
None of the boys in our street are earls.
10
Please, can I not be one?
11
Your papa loved his home in England, said he, said his mother.
12
I think he would like you to go there and be an earl one day.
13
I'm sorry to leave all my friends, Dick and Bridget and everyone, said Cedric sadly.
14
And Mr. Hobbs isn't going to like the news.
15
He says kings and lords are all bad people.
16
America has a president, and Mr. Hobbes says presidents are much better than kings.
17
The next day Cedric went to see Mr. Hobbes at his grocery store.
18
He sat down in his usual place.
19
But at first he could not find the words to tell Mr. Hobbs his news.
20
Then he said it all at once, very quickly.
21
Mr. Hobbs stared at him.
22
"'Well,' he said, "'can this be true?' Yes, Mr. Hobbs, said Cedric.
23
I'm sorry to say, it's all true.
24
Mr. Havisham says I am Lord Fauntleroy now,
25
and one day I'm going to be the Earl of Dorincourt after my grandfather dies.
26
Well, said Mr. Hobbs, well, well, well.
27
They talked about it for a long time, and in the end Mr. Hobbs was happier about lords and earls.
28
He liked his young friend very much.
29
He first knew Cedric when he was six weeks old, and he had a grandfatherly interest in the boy.
30
But he did not like Cedric going to England.
31
"'Can't you stay here and be an earl?' he asked.
32
"'No, I can't,' said Cedric sadly.
33
"'Dearest says we must go to England.' The Dorincourt name was an old and famous one.
34
The family was very rich, with great houses and castles in England.
35
Mr Havisham, the family's lawyer for forty years, knew the Earl very well.
36
He remembered the Earl's words to him before he left England.
37
I hate that American woman.
38
She married my son because he was an earl's son, and she wanted to be rich.
39
Her son is going to be just like her." But after a week in New York,
40
Mr. Havisham knew differently.
41
Mrs. Errol married the Earl's son because she loved him with all her heart, he thought.
42
She's not interested in money.
43
She asks nothing for herself.
44
She only wants her little boy to be happy.
45
I think the Earl is wrong about her and about her little boy."
46
Mr. Havisham was surprised and pleased by the new Lord Fauntleroy.
47
Cedric was a fine boy,
48
tall and strong, with his mother's brown eyes and his father's golden hair.
49
He spoke well, was not afraid of anything, and was friendly with everyone.
50
He had a kind heart too.
51
Mr. Havisham learned that very soon.
52
One day he was with Cedric when his mother was out.
53
Mr. Havisham wanted to talk to him about his new life in England.
54
But Cedric spoke first.
55
Please, what is an earl?
56
he asked.
57
I don't know anything about them.
58
Please can you tell me?
59
An earl is.. is a very important person," Mr. Havisham said.
60
He usually comes from a very old family.
61
The first earl of Dorincourt lived four hundred years ago.
62
"'Well, well,' said Cedric.
63
"'That was a long time ago.
64
"'That's interesting.
65
"'But what does an earl do?' "'This was not an easy question to answer.
66
"'An earl,' Mr. Havisham began, "'um, an earl often helps the king.
67
Perhaps he's a soldier for the king.
68
Some earls were very brave men in the old days.
69
Oh, said Cedric, my papa was a soldier, and he was a very brave man, you know.
70
I'm pleased earls are brave.
71
It's a good thing to be brave, don't you think?
72
Yes, Mr. Havisham said.
73
There is another good thing about earls.
74
Some of them have money, a lot of money.
75
That's a good thing to have, said Cedric.
76
I'd like a lot of money.
77
Would you? said Mr. Havisham.
78
Why?
79
Well, Cedric said happily, a person can do so many things with money, you see.
80
I can buy beautiful things for dearest, like books and pretty dresses.
81
I can buy a warm winter coat for Bridget.
82
She lives in our street and has twelve children.
83
And a present for Mr. Hobbs at the grocery store.
84
And then for Dick—who is Dick?" asked Mr. Havisham.
85
"'Dick is a boot-black,' said Lord Fauntleroy.
86
"'He cleans people's boots in the street, you know.
87
He's one of the nicest people in the world.
88
When I was little, he was very kind to me once.
89
And when someone is kind to you, you never forget it, do you?
90
And what would you like to do for Dick? asked the lawyer.
91
He smiled a little smile.
92
A boot black, a grocery man, a poor woman with twelve children,
93
Strange friends for the grandson of an earl.
94
Buy the business for him, said the young lord happily.
95
He works for Jake now, and Jake is no good, you see.
96
Dick does all the work, and Jake takes all the money.
97
Dick gets so angry.
98
Rick needs new brushes and new clothes,
99
and a sign, and then he can get somewhere." At that moment Mrs. Errol came home.
100
"'I am so sorry to be late,' she said.
101
I was at the house of a friend.
102
Her husband is ill, and she needs help, poor thing.
103
Oh, cried the young lord.
104
He jumped up from his chair.
105
That's Bridget.
106
I must visit her, too.
107
One moment, said the lawyer.
108
He remembered the earl's words.
109
The boy can have anything.
110
Tell him that.
111
Put money in his pockets and tell him it came from his grandfather.
112
Mr. Havisham told Mrs. Errol and Cedric about the Earl's money, but he said it more kindly.
113
Then he asked, So, would Lord Fauntleroy like to help this poor woman?
114
At first, Cedric did not understand.
115
His mother put her arms around him.
116
Ceddy, dear, she said, the Earl is your grandpapa, your papa's father.
117
He's very kind, and he loves you, and he wants you to love him.
118
He wants you to be happy and to make other people happy.
119
He's very rich, and he gave Mr. Havisham some money for you.
120
You can give some to Bridget now, to pay her rent, and to buy food for her husband and her children.
121
Isn't that fine, Setty?
122
Isn't he good?" Cedric's face was suddenly very excited.
123
He looked from his mother to Mr. Havisham.
124
Can I have it now? he cried.
125
Can I run to her house and give it to her this minute?
126
Mr. Havisham gave Cedric twenty-five dollars, and Cedric was out of the house in seconds.
127
A short time later, Cedric was back, with a big smile on his face.
128
Bridget cried, he said.
129
She cried because she was so happy.
130
I think I'm going to like being an earl.
131
The old lawyer smiled his little smile again.
132
What's the Earl going to think about that? he thought.
133
He gives his grandson money, and the boy gives it to a poor woman to pay her rent.
134
The day for leaving New York came quickly.
135
In the last days, Lord Fauntleroy was very busy.
136
With the Earl's money, Bridget's children all had new clothes,
137
and Mr. Hobbs had a very fine gold watch from his little friend.
138
"'Look,' said Cedric, "'the watch has our names on the back,
139
so you can't forget me.' Mr. Hobbs held the watch in his hand,
140
and at first he could not speak.
141
I'm not going to forget you, my boy, he said at last.
142
You never forget a good friend, do you?
143
Dick, too, could not find words at first to thank his little friend.
144
He now had new brushes,
145
a big new sign, and the best boot-black business in New York.
146
On the last day, he came to the house to say goodbye.
147
I'm sorry he's going away.
148
I really am," he said to Mr. Havisham.
149
I never had a friend like him.
150
Dick shook Cedric's hand for a long time.
151
Goodbye, he said.
152
Write, and tell me all about it, earls and everything.
153
That evening, Cedric's mama was very quiet.
154
Cedric held her hand.
155
It's sad saying goodbye to all our friends and our little house, isn't it, dearest?
156
he said.
157
Yes, said he dear, it is, she said, very, very sad.
158
Thank you.
159
Thank you.

Primeiras impressões: por que esse vídeo é ótimo para falar inglês
O vídeo "Chapter 2" é um material perfeito para aprender inglês com vídeos graças à sua linguagem cotidiana e à emoção contida nas falas. As conversas entre Cedric, sua mãe e o Sr. Hobbs refletem situações reais de negociação de sentimentos, o que torna o conteúdo fácil de se conectar e imitar. Além disso, a variedade de tons — de tristeza a surpresa — ajuda a praticar a intonation de forma natural, essencial para uma pronúncia convincente.
Analisando frases: por que elas soam naturais
- "Oh, dearest, I don't think I want to be an earl.": A expressão "dearest" (caro) usada por um menino mostra como apelidos informais são parte da fala cotidiana. A estrutura "I don't think I want" é mais suave do que "I don't want", o que soa mais natural em conversas.
- "Mr. Hobbs says kings and lords are all bad people.": A repetição de "kings and lords" cria um ritmo fluido, comum na fala espontânea. O verbo "says" sem "that" (Mr. Hobbs says that...) é uma característica da linguagem coloquial.
- "She's not interested in money. She asks nothing for herself.": Frases curtas e diretas, com repetição do sujeito "she", imitam a forma como falamos quando queremos enfatizar um ponto. Isso evita complexidade e deixa a mensagem clara.
Rota de prática: shadow speech para melhorar a pronúncia
Para usar o vídeo no shadowing em inglês, siga esse passo a passo: 1) Assista o trecho uma vez para entender o contexto. 2) Repita cada frase imediatamente após o áudio, copiando o tom, a velocidade e a pausa — isso é o shadow speech. 3) Grave sua voz e compare com o original: preste atenção a sons como "earl" (consoante final "l") e "Hobbs" (sílaba tônica). 4) Repita 3 vezes por frase até sentir que a pronúncia flui naturalmente. Essa rotina ajuda a treinar a audição e a fala ao mesmo tempo, sendo uma das melhores formas de melhorar a pronúncia em inglês.
Com o "Chapter 2", você não só aprende frases úteis, mas também desenvolve a confiança para falar em situações reais. Lembre: a chave é a consistência — pratique diariamente e veja os resultados!
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
