Welcome to the Point of View mini-stories for Greek Family.
2
Let's get started.
3
First, the past tense.
4
Five years ago, I was walking down the street when a guy came to me and said, Hi, can I chat with you for a moment?
5
He looked clean and very neat.
6
I was quite naive, so I thought he was just being friendly.
7
I said, Okay.
8
The man asked me, How far would you go to save yourself?
9
I said, What do you mean?
10
He said, I'm talking about the Christian faith.
11
I want you to convert to Christianity.
12
Actually, I'm a Buddhist, I said.
13
What about your relatives?
14
Are they Buddhists too, he asked.
15
I told him, no, just me.
16
He then told me that I would go to hell if I didn't convert.
17
He said I was a bad person.
18
He told me all Buddhists would go to hell.
19
Finally, he said that the Buddha and all Buddhists served the devil.
20
That was the last straw.
21
It was the straw that broke the camel's back.
22
I yelled at him, go away.
23
I refuse to listen to you anymore.
24
All right, our second version.
25
I'm going to change this a little bit so you get a little more practice.
26
Just change the order of the story.
27
Since I was a child, I have been very naive.
28
I have always thought that people are very friendly, even if they're not.
29
I have always accepted people and not worried about them or been suspicious, right?
30
I've always been quite naive since I was a child.
31
Well, one day, I was walking down the street when a guy came up to me and said, Hi, can I chat with you for a moment?
32
He looked clean and very neat.
33
Since I was quite naive and have always been naive, I thought he was just being friendly, so I said, Okay.
34
The man asked me, how far would you go to save yourself?
35
I said, What do you mean?
36
He said, I'm talking about the Christian faith.
37
I want you to convert to Christianity.
38
Actually, I'm a Buddhist, I said.
39
What about your relatives?
40
Are they Buddhists too, he asked.
41
I told him, no, just me.
42
He then told me that I would go to hell if I didn't convert.
43
He said I was a bad person.
44
He told me all Buddhists would go to hell.
45
Finally, he said that the Buddha and all Buddhists served the devil.
46
That was the last straw.
47
That was the that broke the camel's back.
48
I yelled at him, go away.
49
I refuse to listen to you anymore.
50
So you can notice I use the present perfect have been for something
51
that started long ago when I was a child and continued up to the time this story happened.
52
Then I changed to the simple past because we're talking about one specific event and that it's already happened, it's done.
53
Okay, now let's go to the future.
54
Back to the future.
55
Here we go.
56
In 10 years, 10 years from now.
57
I'm imagining this.
58
Maybe I dream this, okay?
59
This is a dream.
60
I have a dream.
61
In 10 years, I will be walking down the street when a guy will come up to me and he'll say, Hi, can I chat with you for a moment?
62
He'll look clean and very neat.
63
I'll be quite naive, so I'll think he's just being friendly.
64
I'll say, okay.
65
The man's going to ask me, how far would you go to save yourself?
66
And I'll say, what do you mean?
67
He'll say, I'm talking about the Christian faith.
68
I want you to convert to Christianity.
69
Actually, I'm a Buddhist, I'll say.
70
What about your relatives?
71
Are they Buddhist too, he'll ask?
72
I'm going to tell him, no, just me.
73
He'll then tell me that I will go to hell if I don't convert.
74
He'll say I'm a bad person.
75
He'll tell me all Buddhists will go to hell.
76
Finally, he'll say that the Buddha and all Buddhists serve the devil.
77
That's going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
78
I'll yell at him, go away.
79
I refuse to listen to you anymore.
80
All right, go back, listen to each version.
81
After each version, pause and try to tell that version yourself out loud so you can hear it.
82
So listen to the first version, the past, pause, and tell the whole story again using the past, ten years ago.
83
time start the story with you know since I was a child
84
and tell the story yourself out loud
85
and then again listen to the future version and pause
86
and tell the future version yourself if it's difficult
87
if you can't do it no problem just relax go back listen very carefully again and again and and again,
88
and then try again.
89
All right, I'll see you next time.
90
Bye-bye.

Dicas de Prática

Para aproveitar ao máximo este vídeo, considere usar a técnica de shadowing, onde você repete as falas imediatamente após ouvi-las, imitando o ritmo e a entonação do falante. Preste atenção à velocidade da narração, que é moderada, tornando-a acessível para praticantes de diferentes níveis. Tente não apenas repetir as palavras, mas também captar a emoção e o tom da conversa. Essa técnica é extremamente útil para melhorar sua shadow speech e ajudar você a internalizar as construções gramaticais apresentadas.

Recomendo que você ouça trechos da história várias vezes, focando em cada frase, até se sentir confortável em reproduzi-las. A prática regular, combinada com o uso de um shadowing site, pode acelerar seu aprendizado e aumentar sua capacidade de se comunicar efetivamente em inglês. Não se esqueça de anotar palavras ou expressões que você ainda não conhece e busque seu significado; isso enriquecerá seu vocabulário e suas conversas futuras.

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.
