Hello everyone, it's Jessica here, back with all of you lovely learners on the Learn English with Jessica channel.

Exercise 1, shadowing.

In this exercise, I want you to try to copy exactly the rhythm and the tone of the dialogue.
6
Pay attention and we'll practice together.
7
Hey, did you try the chicken recipe I gave you?
8
Yes, I did, but it didn't turn out well.
9
Oh no, what happened?
10
The chicken was undercooked.
11
Did you follow the cooking time?
12
I thought I did.
13
Maybe my oven isn't working right.
14
You should check the oven temperature.
15
I will.
16
And the spices were too strong.
17
Which spices did you use?
18
I used all that were listed.
19
Maybe too much of each.
20
It's important to measure them correctly.
21
I'm not good at guessing amounts.
22
Next time, use measuring spoons.
23
I'll do that.
24
And it was a bit salty.
25
How much salt did you add?
26
I'm not sure.
27
I just put some in.
28
Always measure the salt too.
29
I guess I'm not a natural cook.
30
Cooking takes practice.
31
Don't worry.
32
Thanks.
33
I'll try the recipe again soon.
34
Let me know how it goes.
35
Definitely.
36
I hope it's better next time.
37
If you need help, I can come over and cook with you.
38
Really?
39
That would be great.
40
Yes, it'll be fun.
41
We can make it together.
42
Thanks, Emma.
43
I appreciate it.
44
No problem.
45
Cooking with friends is always better.
46
I'll get some fresh chicken for next time.
47
And we'll double-check all the spices.
48
I'll be more careful with the salt, too.
49
Looking forward to our cooking session.
50
Me, too.
51
See you then.
52
See you?
53
No. Exercise two, duet.
54
Good job.
55
Let's move to the next exercise.
56
So now you're in the conversation.
57
I'm going to read my lines, and you'll read your lines on the screen.
58

59
I can't decide which American dish is the best.
60
It's hard to choose.
61
There are so many.
62
What about hamburgers?
63
They're classic.

74
Well, how about mac and cheese?
75
A comfort food classic.

But is it the best?
77
It's delicious, but maybe not the most exciting.
78
What's your top pick then?
79
I might have to go with barbecue ribs.
80
Really?

Hamburgers are great, but ribs have that special flavor.

America has some amazing food.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
