Holly Schenk.
2
Good morning, your honor.
3
Good morning.
4
Your lawyer?
5
My husband.
6
Oh, I thought he was a lawyer.
7
No. Moral support.
8
Moral support?
9
Oh, I think it's a little bit more than that.
10
Hope so.
11
No, I think.
12
I know every time I stand next to my wife for moral support,
13
I end up paying.
14
I don't think anybody's going to be paying on this one,
15
but maybe I'm wrong.
16
Wow.
17
I don't know.
18
Inspector Carrick is the prosecutor.
19
He's pretty tough.
20
What do you think, Inspector?
21
Is she gonna pay?
22
I think he's gonna pay,
23
Your Honor, no matter what happens.
24
Either way.
25
Okay, this is a very serious offense.
26
It's no parking, 8 to 10.
27
And you were there at nine o'clock in the morning on Williams Street.
28
So what do you want to tell me about it?
29
You have photographs.
30
I have a photograph.
31
Oh.
32
It says no parking on particular days,
33
but not the day that I was there.
34
So I was there on July 1st. All right.
35
Hello.
36
She did get a nice picture,
37
but this isn't the sign,
38
and this wasn't the reason why she got that violation.
39
You see.
40
So, Holly, you're presenting to me a paper sign on a tree that says there'll be no parking because of street sweeping.
41
Yes.
42
I can't say that five times in a row.
43
Street sweep, it's tough.
44
So I have to take my time.
45
Street sweeping.
46
And it says that between April 28th and July 12th
47
at certain times that you would not be able to park between 10.30 at night and seven o'clock in the morning.
48
Only between those hours, because you would otherwise be allowed to park there after 10.30, right?
49
So that sign just refers to those hours.
50
Yes.
51
I want you to say five times in succession, street sweeping.
52
Can you do that?
53
Street sweeping, street sweeping, Street sweeping, street sweeping, street sweeping.
54
See?
55
Not bad.
56
I was planning on like a triple fine here,
57
but now I asked for it, right?
58
All right.
59
Nevertheless, not withstanding that sign,
60
there was another sign that says no parking eight to 10.
61
Not where I was.
62
Well, the city is required to have one sign per block.
63
So you, Holly, I think you just kept looking until you saw a sign that says,
64
well, let me see, I can use this one as an excuse.
65
That was exactly in front of where I was parking,
66
in front of a friend's house,
67
and I never saw another sign.
68
I don't know where, it could have been down three blocks or something,
69
but I didn't see it.
70
Sue, what is your first name?
71
John.
72
John.
73
John, usually in cases like this,
74
the court has to make a determination about whether someone's telling the truth.
75
And to make that determination,
76
we have to decide whether or not their reputation in the community is one for truth and veracity.
77
So I suspect you've been married for a while.
78
I am.
79
49 years.
80
And she's a very truthful person.
81
What did you expect?
82
You expected you to say anything different?
83
That's why they've been married for 49 years.
84
Okay, the sign's misleading.
85
Thank you.
86
At any rate, you were there at nine o'clock in the morning.
87
What's the secret to a long marriage, John?
88
Say yes a lot more than no.
89
We had someone appear before the court and they were talking about being married for a long period of time.
90
And I jokingly said that,
91
you know, I've been married over 50 years,
92
so I jokingly said that when we're with friends and they'll say,
93
my wife looks younger than I do,
94
so they'll say, oh, how long have you been married?
95
And I usually say, oh,
96
we've been married over 50 years.
97
I say, oh, we've been happily married for five years.
98
And they say, oh, is this your second or third wife?
99
No, it was my first wife,
100
been happily married for five.
101
So I told that story to this couple that was before us.
102
And she turned to him and says,
103
we've been happily married for 44 years.
104
She says, is that right?
105
And he says, yes, dear.
106
You got it.
107
We've been happily married for 43 years, right?
108
Yes, dear.
109
I'm not gonna ask you,
110
John, if you've been happily married because I know you're gonna say yes.
111
Thank you.
112
Anyway, based on the explanation,
113
Howie, the matter's gonna be dismissed.
114
Thank you very much.
115
Have a great afternoon.
116
Good luck.
117
Good luck.
118
Thank you, Your Honor.
119
Thank you.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
