[17:35] Growth and Responsibility: Children's Musical Stories and Family Disputes

Learning English is not just about mastering grammar and vocabulary, but more importantly, about using it naturally in real-life situations. However, textbook sentences are often too formal and differ greatly from real-life expressions. To speak authentic, natural English, you need exposure to real-world dialogues. Here, we’ve selected frequently used English expressions for everyday life, covering social, work, and travel contexts, to help you break free from 'textbook English' and learn how native speakers really talk. Below is the content of this episode, 'Episode 38 of Season 4 – The Sound of Music.' Keep practicing, and your English will become more in tune with real life!

Now that they're just us, would you please tell me your name again and how old you are? I'm Lisa. I'm sixteen years old and I don't need a governor. Well I'm glad you told me, Lisa, we'll just be good friends. I'm Friedrich. I'm fourteen. I'm impossible. Really? Who told you that, Friedrich? For oil, I'm Josephine. Four governors is a girl. I'm Bukita. Um, didn't tell me how old you are, Louisa. I'm Brigita. She's Louisa. She's thirteen years old and you're smart. I'm Ken and I think your dress is the ugliest one I ever saw. Brigita, you shouldn't say that. Why not? Don't you think it's ugly? Of course. But for all I'm Hildes was a list. I'm Kurt. I'm eleven. I'm in Cardinal. Congratulations. What's in Cardinal? I think it means you want to be treated like a boy. I'm Martha and I'm going to be seven, I'm three-stay. And I'd like a pink pair of far. Well, pink's my favorite color too. Yes, your brittle and your five-year-old. Why, you're practically a lady. Now I have to tell you a secret. I've never been a governor before. Do you mean you don't know anything about being a governor? Nothing, I'll need lots of advice. Well, the best way to start is to be sure to tell father to mind his own business. You must never come to dinner on time. Never eat your soup quietly. And drink it. Always blow your nose. But where they say throwing my ring real. No, why not? Because I like you. All right, down children, outside for your walk. Father's orders. Now hurry up, hurry up. Quick, quick, quick, quick. From line Maria. I'm proud Smith to help keep her. How do you do? I'll show you to your room. Follow me. Hi, I'm Maria. Can we do this every day? Don't you think it's going to get tired of it, Louisa? I suppose so. Every other day? I haven't had so much fun since the day. But glue on frontline just finished to the brush. I can't understand how children as nice as you can. I just have to pay such awful, sick, so people. Oh, it's easy. But why do it? Well, how else can we get father's attention? Yes. Oh, I see. Well, we'll have to think about that one. All right, everybody. Over here. What are we going to do? Let's think of something to do for the Baroness when she comes. Father, there's an artistishing. Well, perhaps we can change his mind. Now, what songs do you know? We don't know any songs. Not any. We don't even know how to sing. No. Well, let's not lose any time. You must learn. But how? Let's start at the very beginning. A very good place to start. When you read, you begin with A B C. When you sing, you begin with Doremi. Doremi. Doremi. The first three notes just happen to be Doremi. Doremi. Doremi for so lucky. Oh, let's see if I can make it easier. Dore a deer, a female deer. Ray, a dropper golden sun. Me and Nate, I call myself far, long, long way to run. So a needle-pulling thread, Law and note to follow, sir. He, a drink with jam and bread, That will bring us back to do. Oh, oh, oh, oh, go! And me? This is Baroness Trader. And these? Are my children. How do you do? All right, go inside. Dry off, clean up, change your clothes to a pot back here. Immediately. Prahlani, we'll stay here, please. I, uh, think I'd better go see what Max is up to. Now, Prahlani. I want a truthful answer from you. Yes, Captain. Is it possible? Or could I have just a match with it? Have my children, by any chance, been climbing trees today? Yes, Captain. I see. And where may I ask that they get these, um, these... Late notes. Oh, is that what you call them? I made them, from the drapes that used to hang in my bedroom. Drey. They sure had plenty of wear left. The children have been everywhere in them. Do you mean to tell me that my children have been roaming about... ...sutsp, dressed up in nothing but some old threaps? Mm-hmm. And having a marvelous time. They have uniforms. Straight jackets, if you'll forgive me. I will not forgive you for that. Children cannot do all the things they're supposed to do if they have to worry about sporting their... ...prisoning their silver. Well, they wouldn't dare. They love you too much. They fear you too much. I don't wish you to discuss my children in this manner. Well, you've got to hear from someone you're never home long enough. I said I don't want to hear anything more from you about my children. I know you don't, but you've got to. Not take lethal. I don't want to be a hero. You're going to wake up and find she's a woman. You won't even know her. And Friedrich, he's a boy, but he wants to be a man like you... ...and there's no one to show him how. You dare. Tell me about myself. Friedrich could tell you about him if you'd let her get close to you. She notices everything. And Kurt pretends he's tough, not to show her her tea is when you brush him a sander. That will do. The way you do all of them. The reason I don't know about you... I said that will do. Someone has to find out about her and the little ones just want to be loved. Oh, please, Captain. Love them. Love them all. I don't care to hear anything further from you about my children. I'm not finished yet. Fry life. Now you will pack your things this minute... ...and return to the abbey. What's that? It's singing. Yes, I realise it's singing, but who is singing? The children. The children. I taught them something to sing for the Baroness. Fry life. I... ...behaved badly. I apologise. I'm far too outspoken. It's one of my worst faults. You were right. I don't know my children. Still time, Captain. They want so much to be close to you. You brought music back into their hearts. I've forgotten. Fry life. I want you to stay. I... I ask you to stay. To stay. You can't be of any help. You have already. More than you know. It's very kind of you to offer to help me, Baroness. I'm delighted, isn't it? I really don't think I do have anything that would be appropriate. Now where is that lovely little thing you were wearing? You're reading me. When he's captain, he couldn't keep his eyes off him. Come, my dear, we are women. Let's not pretend we don't know when a man notices us. Here we are. Captain notices everybody and everything. There's no need for you to be so defensive, Maria. You are quite attractive, you know. My captain would hardly be a man if he didn't notice you. I hope you're joking. Not at all. But I've never done a thing to do. She would have had too much of her. There's nothing more irresistible to a man than a woman who's in love with him. In love with him, of course. But what makes it so nice is he thinks she's in love with you. But that's not true. Surely you've noticed the way he looks into your eyes. And you know, you blushed in his arms when you were dancing just now. Don't take it to heart. He'll get over it soon enough, I should think. Men do, you know? Then I should go. I mustn't stay here. There's nothing I can do to help. Don't know. Yes. Please don't say a word about this to the captain. No. No, I wouldn't dream of it. Good binary, eh? I'm sure you'll make a very sign. Hello. I thought I'd just mindfiring you here. Is that... was there something you wanted? No, no, no, no. Sit up, please. Ah, Mary? You know, I was thinking and I was wondering two things. Why did you run away to the abbey? And what was it that made you come back? Well, I had an obligation to fulfill and I... I came back to fulfill it. Is that all? And I missed the children. Yes. Only the children. No. Yes. Isn't it right I should have missed them? Oh, yes, yes, of course. I was only hoping that perhaps you... perhaps you might... Yes. Well, nothing was the same when you were away and... it'll be all wrong again after you leave. And I just thought perhaps you might... change your mind? I'm sure the Baroness will be able to make things fine for you. Maria? There isn't going to be any Baroness. There isn't? No. I don't understand. Well, we've... called off engagement, you see. Oh, I'm sorry. Yes. You are? You did? Yes. Where are you? You can't marry someone when you're... in love with someone else. Can you? Marry someone else? My fellow Austrians. I shall not be seeing you again, perhaps for a very long time. I would like to sing for you now a love song. I know you share this love. I pray that you will never let it die. I pray that you will never let it die. Happy to meet me. Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow. Bloom and grow forever. Edelweiss, Edelweiss. Bless my homeland forever. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you. The festival competition has come to its conclusion, except of course we don't know yet what that conclusion will be. And while the judges are arriving at their decision, I have been given permission to offer you an encore. This will be the last opportunity the Von Trapps will have of singing together for a long, long time. Even now, officials are waiting in this auditorium to escort Captain Von Trapp to his new command in the naval forces of the Third Reich. And so, ladies and gentlemen, the Von Trapp family again bids you farewell.
