I'm not now, he says.

I have a name for you.
6
Are you ready?

Yes.
8
Anna Lund.
9
He doesn't say anything for a minute, then...
10
Anna.
11
It's Anna.
12
Are you sure?
13
It's Anna's laptop.
14
Perhaps she did it or perhaps her spark and flash friend did it, but it's her laptop.
15
Right.
16
Jeff Clayton's voice is angry.
17
I'm calling the police in the morning.
18
They can come to the office and when Anna walks in, Wait!
19
I say.
20
Here's the bad news.
21
Anna or her friend downloaded the Blanding's file, but they didn't keep the file on her laptop.
22
It went onto a memory stick.
23
I took some screenshots of the file download.
24
We can show the police those, but they don't prove anything.
25
Somebody took the file from the office computer, yes, but the file's not on her laptop now.
26
But the download happened on her laptop, says Jeff.
27
Of course she's the thief.
28
Listen, Jeff, what's she going to say?
29
She's going to say, what file?
30
What are you talking about?
31
Where is this file on my laptop?
32
I don't know anything about a file.
33
She's not stupid, and she's going to be ready for any question.
34
She did it, yes, but we can't prove it.
35
Yes.
36
Yes, I see.
37
You're right, Shirley.
38
Jeff's voice is very unhappy.
39
So, what are we going to do?
40
Well, the Trojan horse was plan A, and now I have plan B, I say.
41
Where is the Blanding's file now?
42
We need to know that.
43
Maybe Spark and Flash have got the file already.
44
But maybe they haven't, and maybe Anna is meeting somebody tomorrow,
45
so I'm going to watch Anna all day.
46
Where does she go?
47
Who does she meet?
48
OK, what can I do? asks Jeff.

Nice to everyone.
52
Talk about work, the weather, the football, whatever.

We don't want her to worry.

I wear my student disguise.
63
I have long hair, a big hat and a wonderful long skirt with red and yellow flowers all over it.

It's a great skirt.
65
People look at the skirt and not at the face.

I'm hungry.
80
I eat two chicken and tomato sandwiches on brown bread and drink two cups of tea.

When Anna comes out, I'm standing in the street looking into a shop window.
90
She walks quickly for ten minutes and then goes into a big pub by the river.
91
It's lunchtime and the pub is noisy, full of people.
92
I go in at another door and look around for Anna.
93
She's with a man, a tall man with red hair.

No, he's more than a friend.
96
Anna is kissing him.

He has his arm around her.

They're excited, happy, laughing.
100
I move a little nearer to them.
101
I get my phone out, hold the phone to my ear but take photos, lots of them.
102
Nobody looks at me.
103
I'm just a student in a long flowery skirt talking on my mobile phone.
104
I take a taxi back to my office and sit down at my big laptop.
105
I download the photos to the laptop.
106
The camera in my phone is a good one, and these photos are really good.
107
So who is this guy with Anna?
108
Some people work for Spark and Flash Design and I have all the names.

Sobre esta lição

Nesta lição, você vai praticar a compreensão oral e a pronúncia em inglês por meio de um diálogo dinâmico entre dois personagens. O vídeo conta uma história de suspense, com conversas informais e emoções como raiva e preocupação, o que ajuda a treinar a escuta de tons naturais. Você vai aprender a imitar a velocidade e a entonação, além de expandir o vocabulário em contextos reais. Ideal para quem quer melhorar a fala com shadow speech e aprender inglês com vídeos.

Vocabulário e frases-chave

  • Memory stick: Pen drive, dispositivo de armazenamento portátil.
  • Screenshots: Capturas de tela, imagens salvas de uma tela de computador.
  • Trojan horse: Cavalo de Troia, termo usado em informática para um programa malicioso disfarçado.
  • Be normal: Ser normal, agir de forma comum sem chamar atenção.
  • Downloaded: Baixado, transferido de um servidor para um dispositivo.

Dicas de prática

O diálogo tem uma velocidade média, com pausas naturais entre as frases, o que é perfeito para o shadowing. Siga estes passos: 1) Assista o vídeo uma vez para entender o contexto. 2) Repita cada frase imediatamente após o personagem, tentando igualar a entonação (notem a raiva em "Jeff Clayton's voice is angry" e a preocupação em "Jeff's voice is very unhappy"). 3) Use um shadowing site para gravar sua voz e comparar com o original, focando em palavras como "screenshots" e "memory stick" para melhorar a pronúncia em inglês. 4) Pratique as frases curtas, como "Wait!" e "Are you sure?", para treinar a clareza na fala rápida. Lembre-se: a chave é a repetição constante, até que a pronúncia e o ritmo fiquem naturais. Com este método, você vai ver progressos rápidos no shadowspeaks e na confiança ao falar inglês.

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.
