The Hard-Working Confectioner A long time ago,
2
in a town, there lived Mandy,
3
a confectioner whose candies and cakes were famous all over town,
4
especially her strawberry and chocolate cupcakes.
5
Mandy would open her bakery very early and sell only the freshest cakes,
6
made with the best ingredients.
7
If any cakes were left at the end of the day,
8
she would distribute them free of cost to children and make fresh ones the next day.
9
People would throng to her little confectionery shop.
10
Truly, Mandy, your cupcakes are so good.
11
My son wants only your cupcakes for his birthday.
12
Thank you so much.
13
And here are two extra cupcakes for you on your birthday.
14
Happy birthday.
15
Oh, thank you, Auntie.
16
Right opposite her shop was Barney's sweet shop.
17
Barney was lazy.
18
He would see customers lining up for Mandy's cakes and feel jealous.
19
If her business continues growing like this,
20
no one will come to my bakery.
21
Must do something.
22
So Barney thought of a scheme to get more customers to come to his shop.
23
Two cupcakes for the price of one!
24
Two cupcakes for the price of one!
25
Some customers from Mandy's shop went to Barney's,
26
but soon they went back to Mandy.
27
Two cupcakes for the price of one?
28
Barney, somehow the taste of your cupcakes is not as good as Mandy's.
29
Even if you have priced them so low.
30
Your cakes are just not fresh enough.
31
Sorry.
32
One day, a nobleman came to Mandy's shop.
33
Are you the famous confectioner, Mandy?
34
Yes.
35
How may I help you?
36
My son had your chocolate cupcakes at a friend's birthday,
37
and he insists that he wants those for his own birthday party.
38
That would be an honor, sir.
39
Why don't you sample a cake and decide whether you would like them?
40
Ah, that would be great.
41
Mmm, these are delicious.
42
I would certainly like them for the party.
43
I am so glad!
44
How many would you like and when is the birthday?
45
The party is on Saturday.
46
Three days from now, could you send about a hundred cakes to my home?
47
I will have the cakes ready and sent to you by three o'clock on Saturday.
48
Mandy worked really hard and prepared a hundred cupcakes.
49
On the other hand, Barney heard about the massive order Mandy had got and decided to spoil it.
50
If the nobleman at the King's court likes her cakes,
51
nobody will ever come to my bakery.
52
I must spoil her order.
53
So that night, when Mandy had got all the cakes ready,
54
Finally, all the hundred cakes are done.
55
I shall reach them to the nobleman's home first thing in the morning.
56
You will send the cakes only if they still exist in the morning.
57
The next morning, when Mandy came to her shop,
58
she was shocked to see her cakes eaten by mice.
59
Goodness!
60
How did this happen?
61
What am I going to do now?
62
The cakes are due in three hours!
63
Mandy was really worried.
64
Just then, Barney got there.
65
What happened, Mandy?
66
Why are you so worried?
67
You!
68
You never opened your bakery this early.
69
What are you doing here?
70
I have a delivery of cupcakes today at the nobleman's house.
71
You stole the cupcakes from my shop!
72
Everything is justified in business.
73
Now Mandy was really angry.
74
She would not let Barney get away with this.
75
But what could she do?
76
She suddenly got an idea.
77
She quickly went into the kitchen of her shop and three hours later,
78
this is what she came up with.
79
Look, Mother!
80
A cake that looks like a castle!
81
A castle cake!
82
I want one!
83
Wow!
84
What a beautiful looking cake!
85
Did you make it on your own?
86
Yes!
87
So Mandy delivered a cake like no one had seen before to the nobleman's home.
88
Oh, what a beautiful cake.
89
Thank you.
90
I know you wanted cupcakes,
91
but I thought of making something special for your birthday.
92
I love it.
93
And now Mandy was famous,
94
not only for her cupcakes,
95
but also for the beauty of her cakes.
96
And she started receiving even more orders than before.
97
In a helpless situation, Mandy did not lose her calm and using a bit of creativity,
98
she changed it to emerge even more successful than before.

推薦影片
為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語?
通過觀看並模仿《努力工作的糖果師傅》這個影片,學習者可以深入理解日常對話中的真實語境。這不僅能幫助提高英語發音,還能增強自信心,使學習者在與他人交流時更加流利。該影片展示了一個關於甜品店老闆曼迪和她的競爭對手巴尼的故事,豐富的對話內容讓學習者能夠在角色扮演中練習不同的口語場合。這種沉浸式的學習方法尤其適合準備雅思口語練習的學生,因為它結合了情境、語氣及表達方式,有助於激發學習者的口語潛力。
語法和表達的語境分析
在影片中,有幾個重要的語法結構及表達方式值得注意:
- 詢問和提供幫助:如“我能為您做些什麼?”等問題及表達方式,幫助學習者理解如何主動與他人交流。
- 條件句:例如“如果你想要,我可以給你準備……”這種表達方式可以幫助學習者學會在假設情況下進行對話。
- 描述性語言:使用形容詞如“新鮮的”和“美味的”來形容食物,不僅豐富了對話,還能提高發音的準確性。
這些結構使得口語練習更具實用性,有助於提高英語交流能力。
常見發音陷阱
影片中的某些單詞和句子,會對學習者構成發音挑戰:
- “confectioner”(糖果師傅)這個詞的發音較長,學習者需要多加練習以準確把握重音位置。
- “delicious”(美味的)在快速對話中容易發音不清,因此建議進行提高英語發音的專門訓練。
- 巴尼的角色體現了妒忌的情緒,他說的話語中夾雜著情緒色彩,學習者可以通過“shadowspeak”和shadowing site來掌握情緒表達的技巧。
注意這些發音陷阱,結合影片內容進行反覆練習,可以有效提升口語能力,尤其是在進行雅思口語練習時。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構,並附上影片中的原話:
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的 | were left · is justified |
| 比較級 -er than / more … than — 比較兩個事物 | more orders than · more successful than |
| 最高階 the -est / the most … — 一組中最高或最低的 | the freshest · the best |
| “will” 表將來 will + 動詞 — 決定、承諾或預測 | will come · will have · will ever come |
什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
