Prática de Shadowing: I Secretly Lived in a Gymnastics Gym - Aprenda a falar inglês com vídeo

Today, I'm secretly living in a gymnastics gym  because I just started coaching a team that refuses to practice. They say they're already  the best, but I haven't seen them do a single flip. So, instead of coaching them, I'm sending a  mini me to test their hardest skills and see what they do when they think I'm not watching. There's  only 10 minutes until practice starts. So, I need to go find a hiding spot and I need to transform  into a mini Anna. My plan is to make a hiding spot out of mats because the mats will blend right into  the gym. Let's just see the best spot to put it.

This could be a really good spot. I think I just  need to put one mat on top and then they'll never find me here. Wait, someone's coming in the gym  right now. It's one of the gymnasts on the team.

I do not think they would show up to practice this  early. We need to move. Let's go behind this mat.

Wait, she's coming over here. This is not good.  Okay, hide. Hide. As I try not to get caught, Kinley is running out of time. First, I need  to change into an outfit that looks just like Anna's. I think this outfit works great. Anna  had her hair and two pigtails, so I'm going to do the same thing. Kinley thinks she's just  getting ready to coach, but once practice starts, everything changes. Guys, she's literally right  there. Well, I definitely can't hide there right now, so I'm going to set up some hidden cameras  around the gym. I think this outfit is pretty good. And I also brought this teddy bear. I think  it will be perfect to bring to the gym because the eyes are cameras. I already set up a few cameras  earlier, but I definitely need a few more. The gymnast is right across the gym. One wrong move,  and I'm caught. Next, Anna is super flexible, so I need to do three of her poses. I'm going  to pick this one. Kinley doesn't know it yet, but she's supposed to be challenged by every  gymnast on my team. Okay, I think that's pretty good. Let's go for this one. The middle  split. And luckily, as she was stretching, the gymnast that showed up early finally left  the mat. I need to find a hiding spot so fast now. I think if I just make a fort out of mats  right here. Hopefully, they don't notice it. This could go really badly, but this is all I have time  for. We are going to go with this one. Back bend.

This mat is taller than me, so it's a perfect wall  to hide behind. But we still have this whole open area they could see me. I need to figure this  out so quick. They could be here any minute.

It's been 10 minutes. I hope Anna found a good  hiding spot. I finished my hiding spot. I think this is perfect because I'm completely covered  with mats and their practice is starting right now. I made it to the gym. Let's see if they let  me coach them. I hope they let Kinley coach. Oh, hey Kinley Are you going to join the team? I'm  coaching you guys today. You're a bit young.

Anna sent me. She couldn't make it. Are  you serious? Just because she's younger doesn't mean that she can't coach them. I  really hope they let her coach. Otherwise, my entire plan is ruined. Well, I mean, my friends  are good gymnasts and we need a good coach. So, if you want to coach us, you have to compete  against them. Okay, be right back. Anna, wait, I think she's saying my name.  Okay, I need to go. I hope they don't see me. Come out of your hiding spot for a second. What is it?  I really can't be seen right now. They want me to compete against them. What should I do? This is  actually perfect because then I can see all their best skills. What if I lose? Honestly, I think you  got it. Just remember to keep the teddy bear next to you so I can see everything. Okay, thank you.  You got this. I hope this is a good spot, Anna.

Okay. Well, this is Harlo, and she is the best on  our team on floor. And to be our coach, you need to win against her. Wait, Harlo is the best on floor,  and Kinley needs to win two out of three rounds to move on. I'm getting nervous now. You guys  are going to play a game of copycat. That's my favorite game. This should be fun. They're doing  copycat, which means if they can't copy the skill, they lose. Well, Harlo, you can go first. That  was perfect. But I know Kinley can do this skill.

Well, that was an easy move. We can go on to the  next one. I honestly don't know if Harlo can do this because they wouldn't show me anything at  practice. That was so good. I had no idea she could do that. Literally, they were not doing any  skills at practice. But Kinley's going, "Come on, you got this, Kinley." That was perfect. Why  does she have a teddy bear? What coach brings a teddy bear to practice? Guys, wait. They noticed  the teddy bear. Wait, no. No. They're picking it up. This is not good. I set up so many hidden  cameras though, so I think we should still be able to see everything. I think we need to step it  up a little. It's getting too easy. And Harlo is the best. So, we need to see more skills from  you if you're going to be our coach. I agree.

Those skills were pretty easy. And if Kinley's  going to prove that she can coach this team, she'll need to show her best skills. Okay,  then I'll do a standing backtuck. I guess you won this round, but next round, my team's  going to win. She might have won copycat, but her biggest challenge is still to come,  competing alone against the entire team. The next round is the coolest floor combo. I know Kinley  can do some cool floor combos, but I'm wondering what Harlo's going to do. I think you should go  first this time. I think I know what I should do.

A roundoff handspring full. That was so good.  I need to be quiet. They can't hear me. But that was really difficult. That's going  to be so hard to win. Harlo, your turn.

a front Ariel, I had no idea she could do that.

She's actually really good. I did not realize  this team I was coaching was so good because they would not practice. Well, those were both  really hard and really cool. But I think I have to choose Harlo on this one. She did a front  aerial and her pass was really good. Wait, Harlo, why? But Kinley's pass was so difficult.  I mean, I guess hers was really cool, too. But that means they're tied. You need to  beat this one to move on to our most flexible.

And this will be a handstand competition.  First up, let's do a straight handstand.

They're both really good at handstands. Okay, can  you guys do a stay? Let's see. Single stag. This is crazy. They're holding this so long. A split.  Let's see who can hold it. It's going to fall first. Oh, wait. She's doing amazing as my mini  me, but later I'm going to reveal myself, too.

Okay, Kinley, I guess it looks like you can move  on to our most flexible. And it's not going to get easier from here. Okay, let's do this. They're  moving on to flexibility, which is my specialty to coach. So, if Kinley's going to prove she can  coach this team, she needs to win this. Kinley, this is Alexa, our most flexible on the team,  and you guys will be competing in a backbend race. Whoever gets to that first wins. I feel  like this is going to be close. Ready, set, go. Okay, this is going to be very hard. They're  both going so fast. Kinley's right there. Okay, Kinley's definitely in the lead. She might get  there first. She got it. That means Kinley needs just one more point. Next challenge, we'll be  doing the oversplit. And first, we'll start on the ground and see how far you guys can level up.  Okay, level one seems pretty easy. It's kind of a low oversplit, but how high are they going to  go? Let's try this one next. Wow. I know Kinley's good at splits, but Alexa seems really flexible.  Well, it isn't fair. She's taller than me. Sorry.

You already agreed to the challenge and it's  the highest over split. Well, next one. Let's try this one. You both are really good at this.  We might need to make it harder. Let's try this one for the last one. Honestly, the last couple  doesn't seem like it's going to be that hard. I think Kinley can do this. Okay, Alexa is flat and  so is Kinley. I honestly feel like they don't have a winner here. Well, I know I said this one was  the last one, but you guys are doing pretty good.

So, we're going to go on to this mat, which is  double the height. This is so tall. Wait, this is going to be so unfair. This mat is taller than  my leg. Well, you're just going to have to try your best. How is she going to over split on that?  Well, you guys are both doing pretty good, but I think Alexexas is lower. That isn't fair because  the mat's almost taller than me. Well, we're just going to have to let the next challenge decide  who wins. Guys, they are literally right there right now. I need to be so quiet. I'm honestly  surprised they haven't noticed the mats yet. Okay, guys. This is best flexibility combo. Who wants to  go first? I'll go first. Okay. Okay. Her technique is so good. Okay, those are pretty easy skills  though, so I think Kinley has a chance. Okay, the aerial was perfect. That was really good.  I have no idea what Kimley's going to do to top that, but I hope she can. That was a really  good jumper was so cool. This is so creative. And a front Ariel. Honestly, I think Kinley should  get this one. This is a really tough decision. I think she should get the point cuz a front Ariel  is really hard. I think you're right, Kinley. I think you get this point. Yay. Hey, wait. That's  actually so nice. Alexa decided that Kinley should get the point. You won most flexible. And now  we're going to move on to our last one. Oh, she's going to the other team members. Guys, she  was really flexible. I think we need to go three versus one. I feel like that's impossible.  Okay, wait. Let's go ask the judge. Well, it looks like Kimley has one final chance to prove  that she can coach this team. And if she does, that means I'm back coaching them, too. So, I need  to go improve my coaching skills. But they cannot see me. Let's sneak out really quietly. Do you  think we could do three versus one? I feel like that's a little unfair. She's way better than all  of us. Can you Right. Yeah. And we need to see if she's going to be a good coach. Yes. I think we  should. While I'm seeking out the gym, Kinley is starting her hardest competition yet. This will  be a strength competition and you will have to compete against the rest of the team to see who  can reach the top first. So, it's the whole team against me. Yeah. And whoever makes it the highest  on the rope wins. Meanwhile, I just arrived at a new gym. I do not have a lot of time before their  practice ends, but I know exactly who to come help me become a better coach. Let's call them. Hello.  Hi, Elena. So, I know it's kind of last minute, but is there any chance you could come to the gym  right now? Right now? Yeah. I need your help with something. Uh, I was about to get dinner. You want  me to come like right now? Right now? Like Yeah.

Like, if you can come, I have a surprise for you,  too. Oh, a surprise. Is it food? Yeah, a surprise.

But you have to come right now. Okay. No, no,  no problem. Is it chocolate? You'll see when you get here. I can't tell you what the surprise is.  Um, okay, fine. Okay, cool. See you soon. This is perfect. But I need to be quick because I need to  get back before practice ends. I'm here. What is a surprise? Oh my. Well, I actually have three  surprises for you, but you can only win these prizes if you help me with my coaching skills.  I don't know what coaching skills we're doing, but I like surprises. Let's do it. As Elena goes  for her first prize, the first gymnast is up on the rope. I have to go first. All right, let's  see. Come on. You got this. You're so close. Oh, it's okay. Who will go next then? Harlo, I know  you're good at this, so you can go next, right?

Yes. You're so close. You're almost there. No  one's completed the rope yet, but hopefully Elena can complete her challenge. This coaching session  is not going to be easy, so you need to be fully stretched out, and we're going to do that by doing  an obstacle course. If you complete this course, you can open the first prize. First prize. Okay,  let's go. It starts with a handstand on this mat over straight into a teardrop back bend. And  then we're going to stretch your legs with an oversplit on the trampoline. This will really  stretch you out. That's a warmup for you. Yeah, I know you're really flexible, so I had to make  it, you know, stretchy. So, that's going to stretch you out. But to actually warm up, we're  going to do alternating between toe touches and split jumps on the trampoline. This is not a warm  up. This is like after three warm-ups. Wo! And split walk. Nice. I like split walk to the rope.  As Elena gets set to try her first challenge, Alexa steps up on the rope. Come on. You got to  do this for team, Alexa. You got this. No. I'm ready for this first surprise. Let's do it. Okay,  so handstand and then go into an arched handstand and then teardrop. Yeah, I think you got it. Over  split. Yes, just like that. And then lift up your arms. That's perfect. Okay, split. Make sure to  keep your legs straight. Okay, that was a really good toe touch. Last part. And I think I forgot  how to do a split walk. Go into a split and then cross one leg over the other. Okay. Okay. Okay.  I think I memorized how to close to the rope now.

My first friend. Let's go. While Elena's about  to open her first prize, it's time for the final rope attempt. Everyone's been having a really  hard time. But it's your turn now, Kinley. Okay.

Oh my, you're so close. How is she getting  all the way up there? I don't know. That's so hard. You're right there, guys. I think she's  going to make it. Good job, Lily. I guess you win. Are you ready for the first surprise? Yes.  I'm so excited. I came all this way. None of this better be good. Let's go. Oh, okay. So, we  have a Hello Kitty congratulation plushy. I think it's really cute. What is this? You graduated  level one. The next prize is way better. Yeah, this is just like a small prize. This is  definitely not the best prize. The last one is actually my favorite. But we need to  hurry because the gymnasts are already on round two. Now, guys, this will be your best  strength move and you guys will do one move and I'll choose which one's the best. I'll  go first. I'm going to do a push-up clap.

I'm going to do a press headstand.

I can't do that. But I'm going  to do a regular press handstand.

I'm going to do a back extension to a headstand.

Well, that was all really good. And you guys  made it such a hard choice. But I think I'm going to have to go with Kendra. Now Kinley only  has one more chance to become their coach. And to make it back in time, I need to finish coaching  Elena fast. This next challenge is a lot harder.

You have to perfect your aerial. Oh, Ariel.  In rhythmic gymnastics, we typically don't do aerials. So, I don't really practice them  that much. I know. That's exactly why we're practicing it right now. So, first, let's just do running into a cartwheel. Okay, I can do that one. run and cartwheel. Okay, that  was really good. But I think if we're going to get a perfect aerial, you could wait a second before  putting your hands down. That's a good tip. Let's do this. Yes. Just like that. I think we're ready  to move on to the air track. Let's go. Okay, we're moving fast now. Let's do a plank competition.  Whoever holds it the longest wins. Ready, set, go. You guys are holding it pretty strong. I love  planks. Well, Kinley, you seem pretty confident.

You think you're going to win? Yeah. We're going  to go straight for the aerial. I don't think I've ever done aerial on the trampoline, so this is  going to be interesting. Oh, really? This is your first time? Yeah, let's try this. You just kind  of run across the air track and then just don't put your hands down. That was so good. Do you  have any tips on landing it nicely? Just try to keep your balance at the end. Okay, land nicely.  Come on, let's do this. Come on. You got it. Wait, you landed in a split. I mean, you know, my coach  is Anna, so I have to have nice splits, you know.

Honestly, I think that was even better. And we  can move on to doing it on the floor. Meanwhile, they're still in planks. They all must really want  to win. Come on, guys. You got this. One time I held a plank for 6 minutes. My feet are kind of  slipping, guys. Yeah, now it's time to go for the aerial on the floor. Can I do a running start?  Yeah, you can definitely run into it. Try to get as much power as you can. Okay, just like we did  on the air track. That was a really good landing, but to get it perfect, you need to keep your  arms straight. I've never tried an aerial with straight arms, so I'm really nervous about this.  But if Coach Anna says so, I'm going to do it.

Wait, your arms were perfectly straight. That  was so good. That means you can open the second prize. Oh my, I can't believe I did that.  I am so surprised you did that so quickly. Thank you, Anna. It's all thanks to Coach Anna. Let's  go. That was definitely a success. But over in the plank challenge, someone is about to  get eliminated. Sorry, guys. I can't. Well, Alexa's out now, so it's between the three  of you guys. Oh, you guys are really strong.

You're holding it for a long time. Time to see  what's in box two. I'm so excited. Okay, Kitty, watch this. I think it's going to be like  chocolate. Oh, okay. Are these close? See, we can like twin with these. See, that would be  so cute. Oo, I get to pick between two. Okay, Anna gave me choices. I like it. What is this  last one? The third prize is the best. As Elena tries to win her best prize yet, the final three  are still in their planks. I can't do it anymore.

Well, now it's between the two of you. Come  on, Harlo. You got this. To get the last prize, you have to do a skill on beam. Yeah, we don't  do beam that much in rhythmic, so this going to be quite difficult for me. We're going to do  a front walk over. And step one is landing it perfectly on this line. Just like that. I think  that's fairly simple, right? There's no height, so I can just go. Oh, you would have just fallen  off the beach. Would have fallen off. You have to stay on the line, your hands and everything to  finish. Right on the line. That was good. I think we can move on to the low beam. Oh my, this  is going to be so difficult on the beam. Just have to be on the line. Straight. Come on, just stay  on the beam. Yes. Just like that. Do you think you're ready for the high beam? High beam. You  sure about that? You want the prize? You have to do it on the high beam. You're right. I need the  prize. Let's do it. This is the final step. So, if you do this, you can open the box. Okay. I just  have to be confident. It's almost the same as the low beam. It's just like the low beam. Exactly.  I know. It's scary. All right. Let's do this.

Yes. Yes. That was it. You got it. That was so  good. That was awesome. Time to open the third prize. And we finally have a winner for the  plank challenge. Oh, I'm sorry, guys. Kinley, you win this one. Kinley, you have left for so  long. That was so good. It looks like Kinley earned her spot to coach, but I still need to  make it back to find out why this team would not practice. I am so happy I got that skill.  That was so good. I was not expecting it to be that good. Okay, let's see what this last prize  is. Wo! Okay, let's see. You have skirts. Yeah, you didn't know that. Anna skirt. What? I'm  going to wear this. So, what did you think of the coaching? Oh, you actually did really good.  I learned how to do an aerial with straight arms and do a front walkover on the beam really cleanly.  So, I think you did a really good job coaching. Do you think I'm ready to coach a full gymnastics  team? Honestly, I think you could do it. Your pointers were really good. Okay, I need to  go now then before the practice ends. Oh, right now. How was practice? I was actually hiding  in the gym the whole time and I watched your entire practice. Why were you guys not doing  those skills earlier? They're so good. Well, while you were gone, Kinley was here and she was  a really good coach. I think you should both coach us. Yeah, I think that would be a great idea.  So, you want to keep practicing? Yes, of course.
