Hansel y Gretel Part 4 final

Le groupe s’approche du royaume du roi Arthuren. Sur le chemin, ils parlent à quelques paysans.
Les paysans semblent effrayés. Lars et les gardes arrivent. Ils parlent au roi Arthuren. Lars et le roi
se connaissent. Le chevalier donne au roi les dernières potions de force. Il dit ensuite le secret à
Alfred. Arthuren n’a plus d’eau magique. Il va essayer de faire plus d’eau magique. Il utilisera les
potions. S’il ne peut pas faire plus d’eau magique, il y aura peut-être une autre grande bataille.

TV NEWS music plays and introduction animations fly across the screen. A reporter is standing on the street. Behind her is a loud group of protesters. They are holding signs and chanting. The reporter is yelling to be heard over the noise.

Reporter: I’m here in front of the Ace’s Chicken Company factory. As you can see behind me, 
protesters have gathered to take down the chicken giant. They are chanting Down with Ace and other slogans. They have set up a sound system and are playing loud hip-hop music—which, as insider sources have speculated, is Ace’s most hated genre of music. Let’s now speak to the leader of this movement, Sally. Why are you all out here today?

Sally: We’re not going to stand for the propaganda that Ace has been spreading. He’s published lies about me and is trying to manipulate the public perception of his slaughterhouse. The truth must be known. Ace’s chicken is killing people!

Reporter: And what do you have to say to the opposition? As you know, there is a vocal group of employees who have publicly commented that Ace is a kind leader who only wants what’s best for public health.

Sally: They have been paid off! My sources have told me that Ace personally approached every one of them and offered huge amounts of money, and if they declined, he said he would have their careers destroyed. Ace is only interested in how people perceive him. He isn’t a genuine
manufacturer. He’s a powerful baby!

Reporter: You heard it here, folks. Sally, an ex-employee, claims that Ace is spreading propaganda and paying employees to pretend. Sally, what is it that your group wants?

Sally: We want to see that evil dictator fall!

Reporter: Strong words. Back to you in the newsroom.

Sally the Fried Chicken


في شمال إيطاليا، في بيرونا نحتفل بقدّيسة اسمها لوسيا. إنها أهم من قدّيس نيكولاس.

في يومي اثنا عشر وثلاثة عشر في ديسمبر، القدّيسة لوسيا تأتي على حمارها مع زميلها كاستالدو.

الأطفال يتركون قهوة للقدّيسة وطحينًا للحمار وخبزًا لكاستالدو. ينام الأطفال عندما تأتي القدّيسة، ويجب عليهم ألا يروها أو سترمي رمادًا في عيونهم ولن يستطيعوا الرؤية خلال مدة.

يقال إن شابًّا وقع في حبّ المُقدّسة عندما رأى عيناها. طلب الشابّ منها عينيها وأعطاها عينيه. ولكن أصبحت للقدّيسة عينان أخرتين وكانت معجزة. الشاب طلب منها مرة أخرى عينيها فرفضت وقالت إنها قد أعطته عينيها من قبل وهذه معجزة.

الشاب قتلها بطعن في القلب.

رُبما تعود هذه التقاليد إلى القرن الرابع عشر، عندما كان هناك وباء عيني وحشي للأطفال في مدينة فيرونا. بعد الوباء، قرر الآباء الذهاب إلى الكنيسة المخصّصة للقدّيسة بدون أحذية. الأطفال كانوا يخافون من البرد ولكن وعد الآباء بأن القدّيسة ستحضر لهم الحلوى والهدايا عند عودتهم إلى المنزل.

Are you trying to speak too fast in English?

So you want to sound more like a native English speaker. That means you have to speak fast English, right?

Noooo waaaay :)

There is a danger with speaking fast - you might lose clarity of what you are saying ..

You may think you’ll impress people with how quickly the words come out of your mouth, but what they really want is to understand you.

When you speak too quickly, you might start mumbling, dropping important sounds, or rushing through your vowels. 

Is this the kind of impression you'd like to create? What if people that are listening to you have a challenge with listening, what will this mean? ..

Listen to the recording and to some suggestions I have for you + listen to my speed too and reflect on my example when communicating in English daily 

Making it a permanent habit will make all the difference.

I hope it helps and chooe&book some of my limited slots to train with me now.
