1
English Speaking Course Ellie and Benny are planting trees in the garden behind the house,
2
but they face a lot of problems.
3
Let's watch the video to see what happened with their trees.
4
How do you feel about your trip to the countryside?
5
It's amazing, Mom!
6
Me too!
7
I really want to have another chance to go back there!
8
Really?
9
I'm so surprised!
10
Now tell me, what things did you find out?
11
Mom, this trip was really fun because I could go with my friends from my club?
12
Right!
13
And after this trip, we know that there are a lot of differences between the countryside and the city.
14
What are they?
15
Life in the countryside is more peaceful than in the city.
16
Yes!
17
Why do you find the countryside peaceful?
18
The countryside is not as noisy as here.
19
It is more tranquil.
20
I think it's because there aren't many cars.
21
And the city has a higher population density than the countryside.
22
Correct!
23
Good job, son.
24
I also find that the air in the city is dirtier than in the countryside.
25
Indeed, I really like the fresh air there.
26
The air makes people more comfortable than in the sweltering and dusty air of the city.
27
Good point!
28
Do you know why the air in the rural area is cleaner?
29
I guess it's because the countryside has more trees.
30
Exactly.
31
Well, I find living in the countryside more interesting than living in big cities.
32
Maybe you're right.
33
How about making our house look like the countryside?
34
Good idea, but how can we do that?
35
We can make the house greener.
36
Do you mean we plant trees?
37
Exactly.
38
Behind our house is an empty garden.
39
Planting trees there is a good idea.
40
I'm sure our house will be more similar to the countryside.
41
Let's plant some trees!
42
Sure!
43
Penny, how can we plant trees in the garden?
44
I'm still thinking.
45
Actually, we haven't done this before.
46
Our mom does everything and we know nothing.
47
I think that we should plant trees or sow seeds. Which one is easier?
48
I'm not sure.
49
But sowing seeds will take longer than planting a tree.
50
Well, let's do both.
51
Okay.
52
But what kind of tree should we plant?
53
Or ask mom, what do we know?
54
But mom said to leave it to us to decide.
55
Right, I love roses, can we plant roses?
56
Roses?
57
I don't think it fits.
58
On the trip, I didn't see any roses in the countryside.
59
But it is the most beautiful of all flowers.
60
For me, a fruit tree would be more suitable. For example?
61
Orange or apple?
62
Well, apple is the best choice, I think.
63
Great, so we will plant some apple trees here.
64
I find the location in the center to be the most suitable.
65
Later, when it grows, the tree shadow will cover more than just planting it in the corner of the garden as you said.
66
Let me think.
67
Okay, cool.
68
I will plant a tree and you will take care of it.
69
No way!
70
Planting trees is fast, but taking care of plants takes longer.
71
Do you know how long it takes for a tree to grow?
72
So how are you going to divide the work?
73
You go to school earlier than me in the morning, but leave early in the afternoon.
74
So you will water the trees in the afternoon, and I will water them in the morning.
75
What about the weekends?
76
We'll both work together.
77
Okay, it's done.
78
Ellie, come here and see.
79
What happened?
80
There's a worm in the tree.
81
Oh no!
82
I see our tree has strange expressions.
83
It looks more yellow than usual, right?
84
Yeah, a little yellow.
85
And there are a few leaves with holes in them due to insect bites.
86
It used to be a big strong tree.
87
Of all those trees, it was the most powerful and greenest tree. And the tallest one.
88
But now it has a worm.
89
How can we deal with it?
90
I don't know.
91
We don't have any experience with agriculture.
92
Let's search on the internet.
93
Being bitten by worms may make trees weaker.
94
They said that we have to catch those worms.
95
Oh, that's scary.
96
But we have to try for our trees.
97
We should do something before it gets worse.
98
No way, Betty!
99
What?
100
Not only one tree, but all of the rest of the trees have also been destroyed by worms.
101
Oh my god.
102
We've been catching worms often.
103
Maybe we did something wrong.
104
What should we do now?
105
I don't know.
106
Ah, there's a greeter one.
107
Move it somewhere else so it doesn't get bitten by worms.
108
Okay.
109
Oh my god, what are you doing?
110
What is going on?
111
Is that Mr. David's dog?
112
That's right.
113
It jumped on the seedlings we just watered and knocked them over.
114
Oh my god.
115
Only a few trees left.
116
Naughty stupid dog.
117
Think of a way to prevent it from entering the garden next time.
118
We have a camera.
119
Let's watch and chase it when it comes.
120
But how can we sit all day watching the camera?
121
think of a way that takes less time and is more accessible.
122
Yes, or make a fence to prevent it from entering the garden area.
123
This is the best solution right now.
124
Ask Dad for help.
125
Let's see what you've done with our garden.
126
Actually, we have planted several plants and seeds.
127
But due to worms and the neighbor's dog, only two trees are left alive.
128
These are the two strongest plants in the garden!
129
Although they are still small, we will care for them more to help them grow greener.
130
Ellie, Benny, we are so happy when you spend lots of time planting trees.
131
You did a great job!
132
I think you are more skillful now.
133
Thank you, Mom.
134
I worked hard to water them every day.
135
It was me who sowed those seeds.
136
I also diligently studied documents about trees to take good care of them.
137
Really?
138
Well, I spent some time after I finished my homework learning about plants.
139
Compared to before, I am now an expert on trees I worked harder, I caught the worms You know,
140
it was so hard because I was so scared But now, I'm braver And even though you caught all the worms,
141
they still destroyed nearly all the trees Better than doing nothing, how about you?
142
Did you do anything?
143
I looked after Mr. David's dog Without me, how can these two trees be left?
144
What did you say?
145
What are you two doing?
146
Obviously, I tried harder.
147
I'm more hardworking than you.
148
Aw, look at what the lazy boy said.
149
What did you say?
150
Stop, Ellie.
151
So who wants to take this job?
152
Comparative adjectives are used to compare two people or things
153
and superlative adjectives are used to compare more than two people or things structure.
154
Noun subject plus verb plus comparative adjective plus than plus noun object.
155
Two.
156
Noun subject plus verb plus the plus superlative adjective plus noun object.
157
Examples.
158
I am more hardworking than you.
159
I think you are more skillful.
160
It's the tallest one.
161
But it is the most beautiful of all flowers.
162
Life in the countryside is much more peaceful than in the city.
163
Thank you.

Ваше задание: Shadowing Challenge

Чтобы улучшить произношение английского и научиться говорить с естественной интонацией, попробуйте упражнение shadowing (или shadowspeak). Сначала прослушайте фрагмент диалога, затем повторяйте его сразу за говорящим, стараясь копировать ритм, тон и паузы. Начните с коротких предложений, например: “The air in the city is dirtier than in the countryside”. Для тренировки можно использовать специальные shadowing site, где вы найдете записи с четким произношением. Пracтикуйтесь 5–10 минут ежедневно, и скоро вы заметите прогресс! Помните: главное — не бояться ошибок, а говорить громко и уверенно.

Этот простой метод поможет вам не только запомнить новые слова, но и сделать ваш речь более естественной. Давайте начнем прямо сейчас!

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.
