Chapter 2 The Card So next day,
2
at seven o'clock, I came to the shop in a cab.
3
There were not very many people in the road, because it was early in the morning.
4
In November, it is dark at seven o'clock in the morning, and I could not see the shop very well.
5
I waited five minutes.
6
A postman walked past.
7
Then the door of the shop opened, and the creature, Merrick, came out.
8
I could not see his face or his body.
9
He had an enormous black hat on his head, like a big box.
10
A grey cloth came down from the hat in front of his face.
11
There was a hole in the cloth, in front of his eyes.
12
He could see out of the hole, but I could not see in.
13
He wore a long black coat, too.
14
The coat began at his neck and ended at his feet, so I could not see his arms, his body, or his legs.
15
On his feet, he wore big shoes like old bags.
16
He had a stick in his left hand, and he walked very slowly.
17
I opened the door of the cab and got out.
18
Good morning, Mr. Merrick, I said.
19
Can you get in?
20
Help my upper steps, he said.
21
I'm sorry, I said.
22
I don't understand.
23
For a minute, he stood by the door of the cab and said nothing.
24
Then he hit the cab with his stick.
25
Steps, he said loudly.
26
Help me up the steps.' Then I understood.
27
There were three steps up into the cab, and he could not get up them.
28
"'Yes, I see.
29
I'm sorry,' I said.
30
"'Let me help you.' I took his left hand and began to help him.
31
My right hand was behind his back.
32
I felt very strange.
33
His left hand was like a young woman's, but his back under the coat was horrible.
34
I could feel the bags of old skin on his back under the coat.
35
He put one enormous foot on the first step, and then he stopped.
36
After a minute, he moved his second foot slowly.
37
Then he stopped and waited again.
38
"'Hello, sir.
39
Can I help you?' I looked behind me.
40
It was the postman.
41
And behind him, I could see three young boys.
42
One of the boys laughed.
43
The postman smiled.
44
"'Is the gentleman ill?' he asked.
45
I thought quickly.
46
Yes, but this is a lady, not a gentleman.
47
I'm a doctor, and she's ill.
48
Take her hand so I can help her better.
49
The postman took Merrick's left hand, and I helped him with two hands from behind.
50
Slowly, very slowly, Merrick went up the steps and into the cab.
51
One boy was very near the cab.
52
He called to his friends.
53
"'Come and see this, boys.
54
A fat lady in a black coat.
55
And look at that enormous hat!' The boys laughed.
56
They were very near the cab, too, now.
57
I closed the door quickly.
58
"'Thank you,' I said to the postman.
59
"'That's all right, sir,' he said.
60
She's a strange lady, sir, isn't she?
61
She's ill, that's all, I said quickly.
62
We're going to the hospital.
63
Goodbye, and thank you.
64
The cab drove down the road to the hospital.
65
I looked at Merrick.
66
That was difficult, wasn't it?
67
I said.
68
At first he said nothing, but then he spoke.
69
His voice was very strange, but I listened to him carefully, and I could understand him.
70
"'The steps were very difficult,' he said.
71
"'But most things are difficult for me.' "'Yes,' I said.
72
"'Nothing is easy for you, is it?' "'No,' he said.
73
He was very quiet for a minute.
74
Then he said, "'Who are you, sir?' Who am I?
75
Oh, I'm sorry.
76
My name is Dr. Treves.
77
Here, this is my card.
78
I gave him a card with my name on.
79
Then I thought, that was no good.
80
This man can't read.
81
But Merrick took the card and looked at it very carefully.
82
Then he put it in his trousers pocket.
83
I did not talk to him very much at the hospital.
84
I looked at his head and arms and legs and body very carefully.
85
Then I wrote the important things about him in a little book.
86
A nurse helped me.
87
Merrick looked at her sometimes, but she did not smile at him or talk to him.
88
I think she was afraid of him.
89
I think Merrick was afraid too, because he was very quiet.
90
At four o'clock I took him back to the shop in a cab.
91
The next day, I looked in the shop window again, but the picture was not there.
92
Thank you.
93
Thank you.

Контекст и фон диалога

В видео «Chapter 2» разворачивается история о встрече доктора с необычным человеком, Мериком. Речь происходит рано утром, в ноябре, и описывает детали их первого общения. Такой контекст помогает ощутить реальную атмосферу разговора в повседневных ситуациях — с неожиданными вопросами, объяснениями и небольшими трудностями. Это отличная база для практики разговорного английского, потому что диалог естественный, с живыми репликами.

5 ключевых фраз для повседневного общения

  • Can you get in? — «Ты можешь зайти?» (простой вопрос, часто используемый при приглашении)
  • I don't understand. — «Я не понимаю» (важная фраза для обозначения неочевидности)
  • Help me up the steps. — «Помоги мне подняться по ступенькам» (удобно в ситуациях, когда нужна физическая помощь)

Пошаговый гид по shadowing для этого видео

Чтобы улучшить произношение английского и научиться говорить естественно, попробуй метод shadowspeak (отзвучка). Вот как работать с этим диалогом: 1. Сначала прослушай видео целиком, чтобы понять контекст. 2. Раздели запись на короткие отрывки (5–7 секунд). 3. После каждого отрывка сразу повтори его, копируя интонацию и темп. 4. Обрати внимание на слабые формы (например, «I'm sorry» произносится как «аим сори»). 5. Проверь, как ты говоришь, записывая себя — сравни с оригиналом. Такой подход поможет быстро освоить реальный разговорный английский. И помни: учить английский с YouTube — это эффективно, потому что ты слушаешь живую речь, а не отработанные фразы.

Практикуйся каждый день, и ты увидишь прогресс! Shadowing английский — это ключ к уверенности в разговорах.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
