Hi, I'm Teacher Aaron from Can Can School.

Welcome to my story time.

Today our story is The Lion and the Mouse.
4
The Lion and the Mouse.
5
One day a lion was taking a nap.
6
Soon a little mouse came running by.
7
He was in a hurry to get home.
8
The mouse did not see the lion, so he ran over the lion's nose.
9
The lion woke up with a loud roar.
10
He grabbed the little mouse with his big paw.
11
I'm going to eat you, roared the lion.
12
You woke me up.
13
The lion opened his big jaws.
14
He was going to eat the little mouse.
15
Dear lion, please do not eat me, said the mouse.
16
I did not mean to wake you up.
17
Please let me go.
18
The little mouse kept talking and begging, Dear Lion, please let me go.
19
If you do, maybe one day I will help you.
20
The lion laughed at the little mouse.
21
He laughed so hard that he could not stop.
22
You think you can help me, he asked.
23
How could a little mouse ever help me?
24
What a funny little mouse you are, said the lion.
25
I think I will let you go.
26
I am not that hungry anyway.
27
The little mouse was so happy he ran off to his home.
28
Thank you, dear lion, he called.
29
but the lion did not hear him.
30
He was still laughing too hard.
31
A few days later, the lion was out walking.
32
Suddenly, a hunter's net trapped him.
33
He was caught!
34
The lion roared and tried to get free, but he was trapped.
35
The little mouse was close by.
36
He was taking a nap.
37
The mouse woke up when he heard the lion roar.
38
The lion needs my help, he said.
39
So he went to find the lion.
40
The little mouse saw the lion in the hunter's net.
41
I will help you, dear lion, he said.
42
Do not be silly, little mouse, said the lion.
43
What can you do?
44
No one can help me now.
45
I can help you, said the little mouse.
46
So the mouse went to work.
47
He bit at the ropes with his teeth.
48
He bit and he chewed.
49
He chewed and he bit.
50
Then he bit and he chewed some more.
51
It took the little mouse a long time, but at last the lion was free.
52
How can I thank you? asked the lion.
53
What can I do for you?
54
Well, there is one thing, said the mouse.
55
I want to be your friend. And so it was.
56
The lion and the mouse became best friends.
57
And the lion learned this lesson.
58
A little friend can be the best friend of all.
59
Boys and girls, I have a question for you today.
60
What can we learn from this story?
61
Do you agree that a little friend can be the best friend of all?
62
I do too.
63
I think this is very good to remember.
64
I'm teacher Erin from Can Can School.
65
Thank you for reading a story with me today.
66
I hope you have a wonderful day.
67
I'll see you very soon.
68
Take care.
69
Bye for now.

¿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.
