2:13.37 – 2:14.39 (1.0s)
28
It's so far, he said to himself.
2:16.11 – 2:18.47 (2.4s)
29
Why doesn't it fall like a stone?
2:19.75 – 2:21.27 (1.5s)

Suddenly, a small sound broke his thoughts.
2:23.13 – 2:26.57 (3.4s)
31
Thump!
2:27.09 – 2:27.37 (0.3s)
32
An apple fell from the tree, landing on the grass near his feet.
2:28.49 – 2:32.15 (3.7s)
33
Newton stared at it.
2:33.47 – 2:34.71 (1.2s)
34
The apple was round and red, with a tiny dent where it hit the ground.
2:35.75 – 2:40.99 (5.2s)
35
He picked it up, turning it in his hands.
2:41.13 – 2:44.29 (3.2s)
36
Why did you fall?
2:44.53 – 2:46.23 (1.7s)
37
He whispered.
2:46.71 – 2:47.95 (1.2s)
38
Most people would laugh and eat the apple, but Newton was different.
2:48.45 – 2:52.75 (4.3s)
39
His mind started to race.
2:53.19 – 2:55.41 (2.2s)
40
He looked at the tree, then at the sky.
2:55.77 – 2:58.87 (3.1s)
41
The apple falls to the ground, he thought.
2:59.65 – 3:02.81 (3.2s)
42
Does the moon want to fall too?
3:03.41 – 3:05.05 (1.6s)
43
Newton stood up, his heart beating fast.
3:06.17 – 3:09.25 (3.1s)
44
He paced under the tree, kicking grass with his boots.
3:09.71 – 3:13.81 (4.1s)
45
The apple was still in his hand.
3:14.21 – 3:16.43 (2.2s)
46
He dropped it again, watching it hit the earth.
3:16.91 – 3:20.11 (3.2s)
47
Something pulls it down, he said.
3:21.47 – 3:23.71 (2.2s)
48
He thought about stones, rain, even birds landing on branches.
3:23.25 – 3:28.29 (5.0s)
49
Everything fell toward the ground.
3:28.65 – 3:30.49 (1.8s)
50
But why?
3:30.73 – 3:31.81 (1.1s)
51
He sat again, opening his notebook.
3:32.81 – 3:35.19 (2.4s)
52
He drew the apple, the tree, and an arrow pointing down.
3:35.75 – 3:40.25 (4.5s)
53
A force, he wrote.
3:40.41 – 3:42.83 (2.4s)
54
A force pulls things.
3:42.63 – 3:44.79 (2.2s)
55
His mind jumped to the stars.
3:45.29 – 3:47.27 (2.0s)
56
He had read about planets moving in circles around the sun.
3:46.97 – 3:50.45 (3.5s)
57
What if the same force pulls the moon to the earth, he thought.
3:51.27 – 3:54.75 (3.5s)
58
He imagined a giant hand in the sky, holding everything together.
3:55.01 – 3:59.97 (5.0s)
59
But it wasn't a hand.
4:00.39 – 4:02.09 (1.7s)
60
It was something invisible.
4:02.67 – 4:04.01 (1.3s)
61
He called it gravity.
4:04.25 – 4:06.27 (2.0s)
62
The word felt right, like a key opening a locked door.
4:06.65 – 4:11.03 (4.4s)
63
He wrote faster, his pencil scratching loud in the quiet garden.
4:11.49 – 4:16.45 (5.0s)
64
The sun began to set, but Newton didn't notice.
4:17.39 – 4:21.35 (4.0s)
65
He was lost in ideas.
4:21.71 – 4:23.85 (2.1s)
66
He thought about cannonballs.
4:24.29 – 4:25.94 (1.6s)
67
If I shoot one far, it falls slower, he said.
4:27.14 – 4:30.60 (3.5s)
68
He drew a hill, a cannon, and a ball flying out.
4:31.42 – 4:34.38 (3.0s)
69
What if I shoot it so far, it never falls?
4:35.44 – 4:38.14 (2.7s)
70
Like the moon?
4:39.10 – 4:39.68 (0.6s)
71
His drawings grew wild.
4:41.50 – 4:42.94 (1.4s)

76
A rare sound.
4:50.24 – 4:52.10 (1.9s)
77
The Earth pulls the apple.
4:52.10 – 4:54.86 (2.8s)
78
The moon.
4:54.86 – 4:55.84 (1.0s)
79
Even me.
4:55.84 – 4:56.82 (1.0s)
80
Newton stayed under the tree until it was dark.
4:58.20 – 5:01.00 (2.8s)
81
The air grew cool and stars appeared.
5:01.00 – 5:04.30 (3.3s)
82
He looked up, seeing the moon glowing white.
5:04.66 – 5:09.14 (4.5s)
83
You're falling too, he told it, smiling.
5:09.38 – 5:13.60 (4.2s)
84
He felt like he found a secret.
5:13.60 – 5:16.08 (2.5s)
85
But he wasn't I need to test this, he thought.
5:16.08 – 5:22.64 (6.6s)
86
He knew math could help.
5:23.28 – 5:24.58 (1.3s)
87
He had learned about numbers that could explain movement, formulas from men like Galileo.
5:25.56 – 5:32.44 (6.9s)
88
He would use them to check his idea.
5:33.72 – 5:36.20 (2.5s)
89
The next day, Newton went to his room.
5:37.62 – 5:40.14 (2.5s)
90
It was small, with a wooden desk and shelves of books.
5:41.20 – 5:44.90 (3.7s)
91

94
His mother called him for dinner, but he forgot to eat.
5:57.54 – 6:00.32 (2.8s)
95
Just a minute, he shouted, his pen moving fast.
6:01.60 – 6:04.78 (3.2s)
96
His sister Hannah peeked in.
6:05.08 – 6:06.62 (1.5s)
97
Isaac, you're strange, she said.
6:07.80 – 6:10.68 (2.9s)
98
He grinned.
6:11.30 – 6:11.90 (0.6s)
99
Maybe, but I'm right.
6:12.58 – 6:14.72 (2.1s)
100
Weeks turned to months.
6:15.52 – 6:17.00 (1.5s)
101
Newton kept his idea quiet.
6:17.54 – 6:19.60 (2.1s)
102
He was shy and didn't like fights.
6:19.70 – 6:23.26 (3.6s)
103
Other scientists might laugh.
6:23.72 – 6:26.08 (2.4s)
104
Falling moons?
6:26.38 – 6:27.74 (1.4s)
105
Silly, they'd say.
6:27.94 – 6:29.88 (1.9s)
106
But Newton worked on.
6:30.02 – 6:31.72 (1.7s)
107
He wrote letters to friends asking about stars and math.
6:31.82 – 6:36.26 (4.4s)
108
By 1667, the plague was weaker, and he went back to Cambridge.
6:36.36 – 6:41.23 (4.9s)
109
There, he shared his thoughts with a few people.
6:42.41 – 6:44.95 (2.5s)
110
Gravity, he said, it pulls everything.
6:45.81 – 6:48.43 (2.6s)
111
Apples, planets, everything.
6:48.97 – 6:50.57 (1.6s)
112
Some nodded.
6:52.43 – 6:53.19 (0.8s)
113
Others frowned.
6:53.97 – 6:54.69 (0.7s)
114
Years later, in 1687, Newton wrote a book, Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, or Principia.
6:55.37 – 7:03.87 (8.5s)
115
It was long and heavy, full of math.
7:04.55 – 7:07.11 (2.6s)
116
He explained gravity, how it made apples fall and kept the moon in place.
7:08.05 – 7:13.61 (5.6s)
117
The book changed science.
7:14.79 – 7:16.51 (1.7s)
118
People read it in England, France, even faraway lands.
7:17.25 – 7:21.77 (4.5s)
119
They called Newton a genius.
7:23.05 – 7:24.95 (1.9s)
120
He didn't care for fame.
7:26.05 – 7:27.45 (1.4s)
121
I just watched an apple, he said laughing.
7:28.75 – 7:31.63 (2.9s)
122
Newton grew old, with white hair and deep lines on his face.
7:32.81 – 7:37.29 (4.5s)
123
He became a leader at Cambridge and helped run England's money.
7:38.21 – 7:41.59 (3.4s)
124
But he never forgot the apple tree.
7:42.45 – 7:44.45 (2.0s)
125
It was still there, in Woolsthorpe, growing old like him.
7:44.01 – 7:49.97 (6.0s)
126
Visitors came to see it, asking, Is this the tree?
7:51.43 – 7:55.11 (3.7s)
127
Newton nodded.
7:55.87 – 7:56.71 (0.8s)
128
Maybe, he said with a wink.
7:57.57 – 7:59.81 (2.2s)
129
He liked the story, even if it grew bigger than the truth.
8:00.09 – 8:04.49 (4.4s)
130
In 1727, Newton died at 84.
8:05.25 – 8:09.57 (4.3s)
131
His ideas lived on.
8:10.31 – 8:12.93 (2.6s)
132
Today, we use gravity to send rockets to space, to land on the moon.
8:13.53 – 8:19.91 (6.4s)
133
Scientists still read Principia.
8:20.89 – 8:23.97 (3.1s)
134
The apple tree is gone, but its story stays.
8:24.67 – 8:27.83 (3.2s)
135
A tale of a young man who saw fruit fall and asked why.
8:28.35 – 8:33.11 (4.8s)
136
Newton once looked at the stars and thought, can one question open the sky?
8:34.13 – 8:39.35 (5.2s)
137
His life said yes.
8:39.91 – 8:41.81 (1.9s)
138
From a quiet garden, he gave the world a new way to understand everything.
8:42.51 – 8:48.91 (6.4s)

Sobre Esta Aula

Você irá aprender a descrever situações cotidianas, comparar ideias e explorar perguntas diferentes que surgem em nossas mentes. Esta abordagem não só melhora seu vocabulário, mas também proporciona uma compreensão profunda de como as ideias se conectam no idioma. Ao final, você terá uma boa base sobre como utilizar a técnica de shadowing em inglês para melhorar a pronúncia em inglês, fazendo uso de histórias.

Vocabulário e Frases-Chave

  • maçã - apple
  • estrelas - stars
  • plaga - plague
  • campo - field
  • cabeça pensante - thoughtful (uma pessoa que pensa profundamente)
  • caírem - fall (na forma de queda)
  • céu - sky
  • notebook - notebook

Dicas de Prática

Para aproveitar ao máximo a técnica de shadow speech, é essencial você se concentrar na entonação e no ritmo do narrador do vídeo. A história é contada de maneira calma e reflexiva, refletindo os pensamentos de Newton. Faça o seguinte:

  • Assista ao vídeo algumas vezes, prestando atenção especial às pausas e à ênfase nas palavras. Isso ajudará você a captar o tom da conversa.
  • Tente repetir as frases imediatamente após ouvir, procurando se igualar à velocidade original. Isso é conhecido como shadowing em inglês e é uma ótima forma de praticar.
  • Grave sua voz enquanto você faz o shadowing. Ouvir sua própria pronúncia pode revelar áreas que precisam de mais atenção.
  • Use as palavras e frases que você aprendeu para criar suas próprias histórias ou perguntas sobre o que você vê ao seu redor, fazendo isso você promove a prática de conversação em inglês.

Essas técnicas não só ajudarão você a aprender inglês com youtube, mas também a construir confiança ao falar e a enriquecer seu vocabulário.

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.

Como praticar de forma eficaz no ShadowingEnglish

  1. Escolha seu vídeo: Escolha um vídeo do YouTube com inglês claro e natural. TED Talks, BBC News, cenas de filmes, podcasts — todos funcionam bem. Cole a URL na barra de pesquisa.
  2. Ouça primeiro, entenda o contexto: Na primeira vez, mantenha a velocidade em 1x e apenas ouça. Não tente repetir ainda. Concentre-se em entender o significado.
  3. Configure o modo Shadowing:
    • Modo de espera: Escolha +3s ou +5s — após cada frase, o vídeo pausa automaticamente para você repetir.
    • Sinc. legendas: Legendas do YouTube às vezes estão adiantadas ou atrasadas. Use ±100ms para alinhar.
  4. Faça Shadowing em voz alta (a prática principal): Assim que a frase tocar — ou durante a pausa — repita em voz alta, clara e confiante. Imite o ritmo, ênfase, tom e sons conectados do falante.
  5. Aumente o desafio: Quando um trecho ficar confortável, aumente a velocidade para <code>1.25x</code> ou <code>1.5x</code>. Pratique 15-30 minutos por dia para resultados visíveis em poucas semanas.
