1
Hi, I'm Hailey, better known as Hailey, or Princess Hailey, the poetess turned supermodel.
2
I don't think they know.
3
Of course they do.
4
Everyone knows me.
5
We'll get to that later.
6
First, like and subscribe to MSA because I have a crazy story to tell you.
7
My great-great-great-great-grandfather's sister was married to the Duke of Scotland, so that made us partially royal.
8
Dad got a big chunk of land and inheritance, but he sold that and moved to New York to work as a designer where he met my mom.
9
They got married and had me, but when I was 10, Mom decided to turn into a spiritual yogi.
10
Truth is a myth.
11
Happiness is a myth.
12
Life is a myth.
13
The only thing true is today, and today will be tomorrow, and tomorrow the day after.
14
What is she saying, Dad?
15
I wish I knew.
16
Mom went bonkers, left for the Himalayas, and never came back.
17
Dad was sad for a while, but then he threw himself into his work and started his own fashion line.
18
And as for me, I fell in love with poetry.
19
Roses are red, violets are blue, a face like yours belongs in a zoo.
20
Hold up.
21
Violets are not blue.
22
Violets are just.. well.. uh.. violets?
23
I don't know.
24
Who made this dumb poem?
25
It's poetry, okay?
26
It doesn't always have to make sense.
27
Yeah, so I loved poetry and spent hours in my room, reading and writing stuff from scratch.
28
I dreamt of publishing my own set of poems when I grew up, but then I turned 18 and everything changed.
29
I was at a shoot for dad's new fashion venture when a photographer saw me and was totally floored.
30
She's a diva.
31
I've never seen so much beauty in my life before.
32
She should be the face of your brand.
33
Turns out the photographer was right and I was a natural.
34
The ad went live after a week and everyone loved me.
35
I had fan accounts on social media, and my life became a series of parties and fancy dinners.
36
At one such dinner, Dad introduced me to his investor's son, Marcus.
37
He was the only heir to his dad's multi-million dollar business, and he was dumb as a button.
38
Dad got me a private jet last week for my birthday.
39
Pick a country, and I'll take you for dinner there.
40
Really?
41
I've always wanted to visit the United States of never-in-this-lifetime.
42
That sounds like a cool place.
43
Where exactly is it?
44
Oh, it's close to, I can't believe you're so stupid.
45
I've never heard of it, but I'm sure we could make something work.
46
This guy was unbelievable.
47
And no matter how much I tried stalling him, Marcus just never gave up.
48
Poor guy.
49
You want to date him?
50
I'm pretty sure he's single and I can put in a good word for you.
51
Uh, no thank you.
52
Anyway, a few months passed and my life as a model only got busier.
53
I hardly got time to breathe and was constantly tired.
54
I tried telling dad about it, but he always had one thing to say.
55
It's just a phase.
56
Just get a good night's sleep, and you'll be fine.
57
No, dad.
58
I need a break.
59
Breaks are for losers, Haley.
60
You're on top, and if you want to stay there, you'll have to push your limits.
61
I tried, but things kept getting messier.
62
And then one day during a party, I just decided I'd had enough.
63
So when dad was busy talking to some stupid investors, I slipped away, rushed across the street, and slid into a taxi.
64
Let's go.
65
Uh, I need a location, ma'am.
66
Just take me to the first place that comes to your mind.
67
Anywhere.
68
As you say.
69
The driver hit the accelerator and rushed through traffic, landing us straight in front of a public bathroom.
70
You couldn't think of anything better?
71
I was under pressure, and I haven't peed in almost 12 hours.
72
This is the only place I could think of.
73
Now wait here, and I'll be back in 10.
74
You'll take ten minutes to pee?
75
Yes, I have a big bladder, okay?
76
Runs in the family, actually.
77
Why am I telling you this?
78
No idea.
79
The driver shot me a glance and darted to the bathroom.
80
When he walked back, I noticed he was kind of cute.
81
You're drooling.
82
I am not.
83
Want me to zoom in?
84
No, that won't be necessary, and I thought you were zipping it up.
85
Whatever.
86
Anyway, the guy introduced himself as Tyler and offered to take me to a diner close by, and I happily agreed.
87
As the order came, I stuffed my face in food while Tyler gave me a soft smirk.
88
So, what's your story?
89
What do you mean?
90
I mean, you're either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid to trust a taxi driver in the middle of the night.
91
I was hungry, and you looked harmless.
92
Also, I always carry pepper spray in my bag, so in case you act funny, I'm well equipped.
93
Tyler shot me a funny look before bursting into a laugh.
94
I joined him, and the two of us ended up having a great time.
95
I was kind of disappointed when he dropped me back home.
96
I didn't think I'd ever meet Tyler again.
97
But the next morning, while I was leaving for my shoot, I saw him outside my house.
98
So, you've been thinking about me, I see.
99
Uh, you left this minion keychain in my car last night.
100
Oh, this! Of course!
101
It's my lucky keychain!
102
You know it's important to be lucky, or you'll get unlucky.
103
And you can't get unlucky because then you're just sad.
104
And I don't want to be sad, so thanks for making me lucky.
105
Sorry, I mean, bring my luck back.
106
I should go.
107
Actually, I was thinking, do you want to grab some ice cream?
108
Or not, you're probably busy.
109
Darn right she is.
110
I turned around and saw Marcus walking in our direction.
111
Why are you talking to this loser, Haley?
112
Is he bothering you?
113
The only thing bothering me is you, Marcus.
114
Tyler here is a friend.
115
Really?
116
I didn't know you were friends with sewer rats.
117
What did you just call me?
118
Tyler stepped up with his fists balled up, but I got in the way.
119
He's not worth it.
120
And Marcus, stop butting in my conversations and find someone else to waste time with.
121
Marcus looked furious, but I just held Tyler's arm and left.
122
He was still mad when we got to the ice cream parlor, but I calmed him down and we ended up having a great time.
123
Tyler was cute, easy to talk to, and he had the best taste in music.
124
We got talking, and I told Tyler everything about my life and how I actually wanted to be a poet, but Dad was against it.
125
Tyler tucked a strand of hair behind my ears and came closer, and my heartbeat was in chaos.
126
Excuse me!
127
I think I need to get myself checked for diabetes.
128
You're spoiling my moment!
129
Fine, fine. So, yeah.
130
After that day, Tyler and I just got closer.
131
He would drop by at my shoots with my favorite coffee and read Gopher Drives.
132
I was the happiest I'd been in months with Tyler around.
133
But of course, Marcus hated it.
134
What are these rumors about you going around with that gutter-faced taxi driver?
135
Firstly, that's none of your business.
136
And secondly, they aren't rumors.
137
I genuinely like Tyler.
138
So you'd choose that poor rat over me?
139
Are you blind or just dumb?
140
Tyler is twice the man you'll ever be, Marcus.
141
At least he works hard to pay his bills than just feed off his father's money like a parasite.
142
Now get out of my way.
143
I accidentally pushed Marcus a bit too hard, and he landed in a bunch of chairs.
144
I'm sorry.
145
You'll pay for this, Haley.
146
Mark my words.
147
Saying that, Marcus just got up and left, and when I got home, Dad was waiting for me, looking like a ball of fire.
148
What were you thinking, Haley?
149
Marcus's dad is our biggest investors, and you hurt his son.
150
He was being annoying, Dad, and it was barely a scratch.
151
That's not the point.
152
You need to treat Marcus better.
153
He's not just anybody.
154
He's a.. a moron.
155
And he's rude and flashy.
156
I'm already doing everything you're asking me to do and literally left all my dreams behind.
157
Like what?
158
Become a poet and roam around asking people to read your stupid poems?
159
Let's face it, Haley.
160
You're doing so much better here with me.
161
Now remember, next time you see Marcus, be nice and don't do anything stupid.
162
I wanted to argue more, But Dad got a phone call and he left.
163
I was so bummed when I met Tyler the next day and told him what happened.
164
You did the right thing by standing up for yourself.
165
I don't know.
166
Dad's not happy at all.
167
He'll be fine.
168
Now come on, I want to show you something.
169
We were sitting on a bench overlooking the ranch when Tyler turned to me.
170
He held my hand in his and I felt my cheeks turn red.
171
Haley, I know it's probably a long shot and you look like a dream in this moonlight.
172
But I can't keep this to myself anymore.
173
I think I think before Tyler could finish someone pushed him hard
174
and he landed on his face I turned around and saw Marcus standing behind us.
175
What the heck are you doing here?
176
Your dad has been calling you for hours, but you weren't answering He thought someone kidnapped you
177
and came to me for help So I used my contacts to track you
178
and now I'm gonna tell everyone how this guy abducted you unless of course You agree to come with me.
179
I'd rather eat a bag of worms than go anywhere with you Don't make me force you.
180
I'd punch your teeth in before you touch Haley.
181
Uh-huh.
182
Let's see what you got.
183
Marcus punched Tyler, but Tyler ducked away just in time.
184
He kicked Marcus in the shin before punching his face.
185
Not my face, you moron!
186
Just then, the police walked in along with Dad.
187
Marcus must have alerted them once he knew where I was.
188
Take him.
189
He kidnapped my girlfriend and then hit me.
190
See?
191
He bruised my perfect jawline.
192
I think I'm feeling dizzy.
193
Saying that, Marcus dropped to the ground like a fly and passed out.
194
Okay, I take my words back.
195
Marcus is a moron.
196
Finally, we agree on something.
197
Marcus was carried off in an ambulance.
198
Tyler got arrested and I tried to stop the police, but Dad shoved me in the back of his car and took me home.
199
Why would you do that?
200
Tyler is innocent and Marcus is lying.
201
I need to talk to the police.
202
You can't.
203
Why not?
204
Because I'll lose everything.
205
That's when Dad told me that a few months back, he ran into money troubles and started gambling.
206
He even got involved with some illegal businesses
207
and would have been in jail if Marcus' dad hadn't used his connections to help Dad out.
208
The only condition was that you and Marcus get married.
209
You've gotta be kidding me!
210
I'm not.
211
Marcus fell for you the day he saw your first dad.
212
He's the one who told his dad to invest money in my business.
213
I thought you guys were old friends!
214
Dad, I'm not marrying that jerk!
215
You don't have to marry him.
216
You just need to date Marcus.
217
I will stall the wedding by a few months and figure out a way to get out of this debt.
218
Please, help me." I wanted to say no, but Dad was practically begging me.
219
I'd never seen him so helpless in my life before, and it crushed my heart.
220
That night, I called Marcus and told him that I was ready to give him a chance, if he took back his complaint against Tyler.
221
Marcus agreed, and the next morning, Tyler was out.
222
I went to the station to see Tyler, but before I could say anything, he spoke.
223
I don't think I want to see you anymore.
224
You and I come from very different worlds.
225
Reputation is everything for me, and I can't keep going to jail because of you.
226
So it was nice knowing you, but goodbye.
227
Really?
228
Is that how you feel about me?
229
Yes.
230
Just please, stay away from me.
231
Before I could say another word, Tyler walked away.
232
I rushed after him, but Marcus got in my way.
233
You heard him, Hales.
234
He doesn't want to see you.
235
Now, be a good girlfriend and forget about that leech.
236
I have planned something exciting for you.
237
The next few weeks were a blur.
238
I missed Tyler terribly and tried reaching out to him, but he never responded.
239
I wanted to go to his place and talk to him, but Marcus was stuck to me like chewing gum.
240
And now he was even more controlling than ever.
241
You look hideous in that dress.
242
Change it.
243
It's my dad's design.
244
Well, it sucks.
245
And keep your hair down.
246
It hides your ears better.
247
In fact, you should get plastic surgery to fix those ugly ears.
248
The nose needs a little work, too.
249
I'm fine just the way I am.
250
You could be better.
251
Marcus was horrible, and Dad was nowhere close to getting the money.
252
I didn't know what else to do except wait, but we were running out of time, and soon my engagement was announced.
253
On the engagement day, I felt heavy and heartbroken.
254
I was in the room, weeping my eyes out, when I heard some voices.
255
I rushed outside to see Marcus holding my dad by the collar.
256
What do you mean you can't pay for a champagne fountain?
257
I already told all my friends, I don't have that kind of money, Marcus.
258
You know that.
259
Then beg, borrow, rob a bank.
260
I don't care.
261
It's customary in our culture for the girl's father to pay for everything.
262
Marcus kept screaming at dad, and I felt my blood boil.
263
I walked up to Marcus, punched him in his gut, and he winced like a little boy.
264
What do you think you're doing?
265
It's customary in my culture to punch the guy if he acts like a jerk.
266
And for the record, this engagement is off.
267
You can't do that.
268
I'll ruin you and your family.
269
Try me.
270
I took Dad's hand and the two of us walked out of the venue.
271
As expected, Marcus' dad pulled out his investment and tipped off the police about Dad's involvement in the illegal business deals, and he got arrested.
272
Dad lost the company, and his case went to trial.
273
But fortunately, we had enough savings to hire a good lawyer, and Dad's sentence was reduced to six months.
274
I'm sorry for dragging you into this mess, Haley.
275
I wish I was a better father.
276
You can be one now, Dad.
277
It's never too late. Are you crying?
278
No, I'm not!
279
Don't look at me!
280
I'm hideous!
281
I don't disagree.
282
Anyway, I picked up modeling again and moved to a smaller apartment.
283
Marcus tried getting in touch a few times, but I got a restraining order against him, and a few weeks later, I saw on the news that his dad was arrested for smuggling.
284
Karma paid him a visit after all.
285
Everything was falling in place, except I still missed Tyler a lot.
286
I had gone to visit him at his family ranch, but his neighbors told me he'd moved.
287
A few months passed, Dad got out of jail, and I finally quit modeling.
288
I wanted to give poetry an honest shot and was writing in a cafe when I heard a familiar voice behind me.
289
Glad to see you're still writing.
290
Tyler?
291
Oh my god, how have you been?
292
Good.
293
I quit working as a taxi driver and got into college.
294
We even sold the place on the ranch to move closer to college.
295
I know, I visited.
296
Listen, Tyler, I know you don't want to see me, but let me stop you right there.
297
Whatever I said at the police station that day was because Marcus threatened me and my family, Haley.
298
As much as I loved you, I couldn't let him hurt my mom and grandma the way he hurt me.
299
So I decided to let you go, and it was the most difficult thing I'd ever done.
300
You should have just told me the truth, Ty.
301
And hold up, did you say you loved me?
302
Yeah, dummy, I loved you.
303
Actually, I think I still do.
304
So, if you'd like, maybe we could catch up over coffee?
305
I'd like that, and in case it wasn't clear, I love you too.
306
I think that's pretty obvious now.
307
Yeah, yeah, whatever.
308
Now, can you look away so we can kiss?

Первое впечатление: почему этот клип идеально подходит для практики разговорного английского
Видео «I'm Better Than Cruella» — отличный материал для тех, кто хочет улучшить произношение английского и научиться разговаривать естественно. Диалог в нем живой, с разными эмоциями и повседневными выражениями, что делает его близким к реальной речи. Благодаря смешным и неожиданным моментам (например, шутка про «United States of never-in-this-lifetime») вы легко запоминаете новые фразы, а интонация героев помогает понять, как передавать настроение через речь. Это идеально для тех, кто учит английский с YouTube и ищет практику, которая не скучна.
Анализ: 3 фразы, которые звучат естественно и как ими пользоваться
- «Hold up. Violets are not blue.» Фраза «hold up» используется, чтобы остановить разговор или выразить сомнение — это современный и очень частый в разговорном английском выражение. Вместо формального «wait a minute» оно звучит более естественно, как в дружеском диалоге.
- «Mom went bonkers, left for the Himalayas.» «Went bonkers» — это неформальное выражение для «сошла с ума», которое часто используется в повседневной речи. Оно добавляет эмоциональность и делает речь живее, чем простое «became crazy».
- «He was dumb as a button.» Это идиома, которая означает «очень глупый». Идиомы важны для того, чтобы речь выглядела не только правильной, но и естественной. Запомните, что такие фразы не переводятся дословно, а нужно запоминать их целиком.
Практика shadow speech: простая рутина для улучшения произношения
Чтобы эффективно использовать этот клип, попробуйте метод shadowspeaks (теньвое повторение). Сначала посмотрите фрагмент видео (10–15 секунд) и слушайте внимательно интонацию, темп и ударения. Затем остановите видео и повторите фразу сразу после говорящего, пытаясь копировать его звуки и эмоции. Запишите себя на телефон и сравните с оригиналом — обратите внимание на те моменты, где ваше произношение отличается. Повторяйте этот цикл каждый день на 10–15 минут, и через неделю вы заметите, как ваша речь стала более плавной и естественной. Это простой, но проверенный способ практики разговорного английского, который подходит даже новичкам.
Грамматика в этом видео
Конструкции, которые говорящий использует чаще всего, с точными словами из видео:
| Конструкция | В видео |
|---|---|
| Present Perfect Continuous have/has been + -ing — действие началось раньше и продолжается | you've been thinking · has been calling |
| Пассивный залог be + причастие прошедшего времени — важно, что происходит, а не кто это делает | was carried · was stuck · was announced |
| Present Perfect have/has + причастие прошедшего времени — прошлое действие, важное сейчас | I've never seen · I've always wanted · I've never heard |
| Past Continuous was/were + -ing — действие, которое длилось в определённый момент прошлого | were zipping · was leaving · was thinking |
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.
