So tell everyone your story starting with your name.

My name is Erica, and I'm from Los Angeles, and I want to be a rock star like Madonna.

Please like and subscribe to this channel.

It's my turn.

Dude chill.

No need to get handsy squirt.

That's enough.

Steve started it!

He always starts with me because he's such a bookworm!

Books are good, Erika.

You could learn something from your brother.

You heard what mom said.

You should learn from me.

Seriously, you're still such a dweeb.

Why do you always gotta creep up on me, huh?

And why are you always binge watching these ancient vids, dude?

Are you hunting for one of your boring old songs you used to make up?

Ha!

Today would be Mom's 45th birthday.

I miss her.

Yeah, totally.

Well, I'm heading to the library.

Same thing you dropped yesterday, and yet you didn't roll in until after midnight.

What's the real date?

Stay out of my business, Erica.

I'm nearly 18 and don't need to take orders from you.

Well, I'm almost 20 and I'm still older than-- Are you expecting anyone? Is there something wrong?

We have to go.

What?

What's going on?

We don't have time.

We'll escape through the back.

Steve, you're scaring me.

What is going on?

You know we lost Mom when she was involved in some dangerous spy stuff and...

Okay, let's run.

Are you for real?

We're legit hiding in our treehouse right now?

You're going to hide there.

You can't just leave me here all alone.

This place is old and smelly and it has spiders.

You know I hate spiders.

guy that broke down our door.

They're not good guys and I don't want you to get involved in all this.

You're doing something shady, Steve?

Like illegal stuff?

No, they want something from me.

A device.

I have to go before they see you.

No!

I promised mom that I would protect you, so I'm coming with you.

It's too dangerous, Erika, but you can follow behind.

They'll take me to the Wood Creek warehouse.

But that place has been shut down for ages.

Listen, I don't have time.

Please be careful.

And no cops.

The cops can't be trusted.

Oh my gosh, this feels like a nightmare.

Maybe it is.

I should slap myself.

Ow!

Okay, not a dream.

He said I should follow him.

Oh boy, this is terrifying!

This place looks dangerous.

What the freaking rats, little bro?

What have you gotten yourself into?

I'm clueless about what to do.

He said no cops, but seriously, am I supposed to storm in there and zap the bad guys with my imaginary superpowers?

Yeah, I wish.

Anyhow, I can't just abandon my brother.

Screw it.

Here goes nothing.

Where did you hide the latest device?

It's stashed away in a secure spot where your boss, Mason, will never sniff it out.

I designed that device for the CIA, you know, to keep people safe from crooks like you.

Tell us where it is, or else we'll pluck every strand of hair on your head with a tweezer.

Is that even lethal?

Erica!

Now will you tell me what's going on?

Maybe after you untie me.

Watch out, he's coming for you!

Jeez, where did you learn how to be such a karate kid?

TV.

Come on, quick, let's get the heck out of here!

Wait, not so fast.

I need to retrieve the device.

What?

What device?

Are you kidding me?

Did you see the size of this guy?

We need to run before he gets up!

You go, and if I don't come back, call the cops.

I need to get the device I invented, or else...

Lot of people will be in danger.

Are you crazy?

Why would you create a device for bad guys?

Hey?

100

Didn't it was for the CIA and then we have to hide

101

My Jeep is parked outside

102

if we get out now we can get away no Erica

103

You don't understand these people are not going to leave me

104

alone until they get what they want I didn't you ever open up to me about all this before

105

because you and your buddies labeled me as a geek nerd

106

And you always made it seem like I was the big dumb sister who never got an A+.

107

Do you know how frustrating it was competing with you?

108

I never asked to be a genius.

109

It happened, and I never expected you to compete with me.

110

What do you think mom would have done in this situation?

111

Well, she isn't here.

112

All we've got is ourselves.

113

Well, I miss her, and I wish she was...

114

ZAVE!

115

No!

116

How did we get here?

117

I think they knocked us out and then tied us up.

118

How are we gonna get out of here, Steve?

119

I don't know, Erica.

120

I'm scared out of my mind.

121

Why did I ever create that dumb device?

122

Now we're bo - Listen.

123

I'm here with you, so no need to be scared.

124

What even did you invent?

125

This mind -boggling device I've engineered is a revolutionary neuro -connective interface.

126

It combines cutting -edge neuroimaging technology with advanced artificial intelligence algorithms.

127

By analyzing neural patterns and decoding brainwave frequencies, it can extract thoughts, emotions, and even subconscious desires.

128

It's like having a direct neural connection to someone's inner world.

129

I was recruited by this technology company, and I made this device as an undercover Okay, that's supposed to be a good thing.

130

What happened?

131

After I invented the mind reader device, the chief executive's brother, Mason, started acting strange.

132

And then one day, he offered me more money to work for a new company he started.

133

I told him I would think about it, and then all of a sudden, it was being followed.

134

He got his guys to bring me to this place.

135

Mason offered me more than a million dollars for the device.

136

Wow!

137

Did you take the money?

138

No!

139

I wanted to, but then I found out what his plan was.

140

He was going to use the device to take control of mankind by reading their minds

141

and manipulating their lives in the most sick and vicious way imaginable.

142

That's absolutely horrifying.

143

We can't let him get away with this.

144

Yeah, that's why I need to keep the device hidden.

145

Real tight!

146

What if you showed them where the device is and when they let us go, we go to the cops?

147

They're never gonna let us off the hook, Erica.

148

We know way too much about their shady de - Ah, come now Steve, my boy.

149

That's not true.

150

Once you show me where the device is, I'll let you two birds fly free without any trouble.

151

I don't believe anything you say, Mason.

152

Well, I can play this game forever and leave you and your sister in here to rot!

153

Does it include a nuclear explosion?

154

Erica, what are you doing?

155

This guy is crazy!

156

All he wants is to end the world!

157

Yeah, my device does that nuclear effect.

158

If you let us go, I can take you to it.

159

Erica, are you serious right now?

160

I just saved you from getting kicked in the face, Dufus.

161

Enough!

162

I don't want your dumb nuclear device.

163

Convince your brother to do what's right.

164

Or else I'll leave you in here with my very hungry dog.

165

Take us to a public place, and then my brother will tell you where the device is.

166

Erika, what are you doing?

167

He can't harm us in public.

168

So, what is it, Mason?

169

At least your sister has some common sense.

170

Fine, we'll do it your way.

171

My guys will be on the search once your brother reveals the hiding place.

172

And if he lies...

173

I won't be afraid to do anything in public. So here we are.

174

Now speak, boy.

175

Have you ever considered what your brother would think when he learns of your treachery?

176

Your actions could jeopardize his CIA contract!

177

My brother has always been a spoiled brat growing up.

178

It's high time he experiences the bitter taste of failure.

179

Now my patience is running out.

180

Tell me where the device is.

181

Fine!

182

Oh my goodness!

183

Madonna!

184

The one and only rock star goddess!

185

I have to talk to her about my band!

186

Sit down this instant!

187

I don't care what you do right now!

188

This is my once in a lifetime dream come true!

189

Being up close and personal with Queen Madonna has been my childhood dream!

190

And nobody can stop me!

191

Get your sister back here immediately!

192

You heard her!

193

No one can stop her!

194

Do you want me to put a leash on her?

195

Okay, okay.

196

Give me a second.

197

I have this band.

198

We call ourselves the Grasshoppers.

199

But yeah, you have been my inspiration ever since I was born.

200

Like, you mean the world to me and - Erika!

201

Erika!

202

big event.

203

I really wish you could come see us.

204

Erika, we're still in a lot of trouble.

205

Let's get back to the table.

206

Fine!

207

Wait, I just thought of something, but you have to be ready.

208

Well, if it means me not giving them what they want, then I'm ready.

209

Run!

210

What are we gonna do now?

211

Mason has his goons in every inch of the city!

212

We go to the cops?

213

No!

214

He's got connections with the police too!

215

Great!

216

We are so fried!

217

First, let's try to lose this big guy!

218

- I don't see how crazy Jane is gonna help us with any of the trouble we're in.

219

Uh, I don't have any sodas, but I can make you guys some tea if you like.

220

Great, just what we need.

221

A frickin' tea party while a bunch of criminals are after us.

222

Water will be fine, thanks.

223

Jane is my best friend, and a computer genius.

224

I think she can help us if you give her a chance.

225

So, Steve, if you created that device for the CIA, shouldn't they be able to protect you?

226

within the CIA.

227

Putting my faith in the wrong hands could still end up costing me my entire future.

228

I could totally hack into the CIA files for you.

229

I've got some serious skills when it comes to this stuff.

230

My uncle used to work there back in his day, and before he passed away, he showed me a bunch of epic tricks and techniques.

231

Wow, that would be great.

232

Having someone from the inside there to protect us would help.

233

But what if they can't be trusted?

234

Don't worry.

235

That's why I'm here.

236

I'll do a background check before I refer you.

237

Looks like someone has the huts for you.

238

Should I be planning your wedding?

239

- Here comes the nerds.

240

- You have time for jokes?

241

- Jimmy Crabfeet.

242

Halfbeat?

243

Yeah, funny last name.

244

But his profile is clean, and I think he can save you from this problem.

245

Thank you, Jane.

246

How do I get a hold of him?

247

We could call him and have him meet us here.

248

Let's do it.

249

Okay, an hour has passed and this CIA guy is still not here.

250

Chill out.

251

Maybe he got stuck in traffic.

252

It's 11pm at night.

253

What traffic is there?

254

I need to use the bathroom.

255

Do something in your kitchen?

256

Sure.

257

Knock yourself out.

258

What are you doing?

259

Looking for her spices, carbonate soda, and vinegar.

260

Okay.

261

Now I need a plastic bottle.

262

Are you gonna tell me what you're up to?

263

Found the bottle.

264

I don't trust anyone right now, so I'm preparing something to protect us.

265

Mom showed me how to do this.

266

If danger comes to us, we will have this to spray in their eyes.

267

You can trust Jane.

268

I've known her for years.

269

Yeah, well, she's not blood, and blood is thicker than water in situations like these, so trust me.

270

Did you get what you wanted from the kitchen?

271

Yep.

272

I get really thirsty... So - That's okay.

273

Hmm?

274

Looks like our guy is here.

275

Hello again.

276

How did you get your first holiday gig?

277

Steve, Erica, meet my uncle Mason.

278

Erica, I think we're gonna need Mom's recipe now!

279

Not my eyes again!

280

I can't see!

281

I can't see!

282

That will teach you about being a traitor!

283

My brother cared about you!

284

Forget about her!

285

We need to get out of here!

286

How deep did you dig to hide the device?

287

Don't worry, we're almost there!

288

I am worried.

289

We're on the enemy's territory.

290

They don't know I hid the device here.

291

They're out there looking for us.

292

There it is!

293

Ha ha ha!

294

Wow!

295

This looks like some kind of alien gadget.

296

Pretty cool, huh?

297

Not so cool, since we are in all of this trouble because of it!

298

Now what do we do?

299

I...

300

I called someone.

301

What?

302

You know we can't trust anyone!

303

It's an old person, one of Mom's friends.

304

She's an old cop and I think she can help us.

305

Oh, Erika, what have you done?

306

Finally, we have the device.

307

Ah, Steve, my loyal accomplice.

308

You've done well.

309

With this device I shall possess the power to invade the minds of every soul on this planet.

310

Their thoughts shall be mine to manipulate.

311

Their secrets exposed to my wicked desire.

312

No one shall be safe from my reign of psychological dominance.

313

I guess there's nothing more you need from me now.

314

You're funny.

315

But you're right.

316

There is nothing more I need from you.

317

So I'll just have my guy here.

318

Get rid of you two.

319

No!

320

Wait!

321

We won't say anything!

322

Please!

323

What is going on here?

324

Looks like Mom's friend didn't sell us out after all.

325

I guess there are still some good people we can trust.

326

Thank you, Mom.

327

Thank you, Erika.

328

You saved us.

329

Erika, right?

330

Madonna?

331

You actually came? Of course.

332

You and your band were incredible tonight.

333

This is my card.

334

Maybe we can collaborate on something special.

335

Did you hear what she just said?

336

Oh my goodness, dreams really do come true.

337

Hey, Erika, you totally killed it tonight.

338

And congratulations on the Madonna encounter.

339

We aren't grateful to have him as the best little brother in the world.

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.
