Shadowing Practice: 16 Personalities Try to Catch a Traitor - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
Three of the sixteen players at my round table are secretly...
2
...traitors.
3
The rest of you are faithfuls.
4
Now is the time to banish one player who you suspect of being...
5
...a traitor.
6
Will you succeed?
7
Or will the traitor slip through your fingers?
8
Players...
9
...the floor is yours.
10
Ahem.
11
Uh, uh, I just had to cough.
12
We need to be logical if we want any hope of catching a traitor.
13
Exactly.
14
Now at breakfast when we learned the traitors had murdered Brian, did anyone notice any suspicious behavior?
15
I did.
16
Digby's reaction was very sus.
17
Me?
18
What did I do?
19
Nothing.
20
You had no reaction to Brian getting murdered.
21
That's not normal.
22
I was sobbing.
23
That's not normal either.
24
Brian wasn't literally murdered.
25
He was eliminated from a TV game show.
26
In fact, we should all be happy that it was him and not us, because with his death, each of our chances of winning the game goes up by roughly 6%.
27
Only a traitor would turn murder into a math problem.
28
All in favor of voting him out.
29
Okay, wait, no. Digby is not a traitor.
30
What's the one thing traitors have to be good at?
31
Being a murderous evil scoundrel.
32
Lying, right.
33
And Digby seems unable to lie, like he's the kind of guy who would give you a brutally honest answer
34
when you ask how you look in a pair of jeans.
35
Ah.
36
Put you up to this, didn't she?
37
She's right.
38
He's too oblivious to social norms to be a traitor.
39
Okay, I get it.
40
Who do you think is a traitor, Genevieve?
41
Oh, uh, I don't know.
42
That's exactly what a traitor would say.
43
We've been here one day.
44
I'm not even sure I remember everyone's name.
45
I mean, I think I do, but I never use names anyway because I'm always worried about getting them wrong.
46
I never even try to learn them.
47
What's my name?
48
Mike?
49
Constantine.
50
Ah, see, I told you.
51
Maybe not using names is your way of creating emotional distance so you don't feel bad when you murder us.
52
No, I'm a faithful.
53
Though you might have a point about the emotional distance part.
54
I have a hard time letting people in.
55
Aw, honey.
56
Okay, this is getting us nowhere fast.
57
Does anyone have any useful information?
58
I've got something.
59
Oh, what?
60
Has she been here the whole time?
61
Uh, yes, I have been here the whole time.
62
It's not my fault if you haven't noticed me.
63
Anyway, I get strong trader vibes from you, Steve.
64
Okay.
65
No way, Steve is 100% faithful.
66
I trust Steve with my life.
67
Steve is much too virtuous to be a traitor.
68
I sat next to Steve at breakfast, and when we found out Brian got murdered, he laughed and said bye bye, Brian, in this creepy voice.
69
The dastardly traitor.
70
He isn't.
71
Give Steve a chance to defend himself.
72
Steve?
73
I said bye bye, Brian, because I never got a chance to say goodbye.
74
Oh.
75
No, no, no, no, no, no. He said it in this creepy voice like Sid from the original Toy Story.
76
Oh.
77
Sid is so scary.
78
He is.
79
He is, he is.
80
Give Steve a break.
81
Can't you see he's broken up over the end game death of his friend?
82
Bye bye, Brian.
83
He did it again!
84
Who else would accuse Faithful Steve of being a traitor but a traitor?
85
That is traitor behavior.
86
No, Walter.
87
If I was a traitor, I would have murdered you because you annoy the crap out of me.
88
Okay.
89
Who do you think is the murderer, Charles?
90
Who is Charles?
91
Ah, I did it again.
92
The guy right there who we've been talking about.
93
Steve?
94
Steve, yes, thank you.
95
We've said his name like 10 times in the last minute.
96
I said I'm sorry.
97
Anyway, who do you think is a traitor?
98
Steve?
99
No. See?
100
It wasn't a yes or no question.
101
Steve's heart is too pure to fathom the concept
102
that people could be so horrible and monstrous and despicable that they could be traitors.
103
That's right.
104
So can we just acknowledge that this is a game and the traitors are not actually evil people?
105
Who would feel the need to say traitors aren't evil except an evil traitor?
106
Sometimes this feels less like a TV show and more like an unethical psychological experiment.
107
I think what Genevieve was trying to say is that if we continue to play this game emotionally, the traitors are gonna win because they're playing it logically.
108
And how would you know what kind of game the traders are playing Spencer?
109
First-hand knowledge perhaps?
110
I came into this show fully prepared to be a trader.
111
I had a whole game plan worked out.
112
I would have wiped the floor with you people.
113
Unfortunately I did not get selected to be a trader.
114
Instead I got stuck with all the brain-dead faithfuls banging my head against the wall
115
while The traders actually got to have some fun harsh, but fair.
116
Okay.
117
Let me throw my hot take out there.
118
I am suspicious of our boy Walter Walter he's too nice.
119
He's a phony.
120
Okay.
121
Yes being a nice person is Essentially suppressing your true emotions and feelings and being a phony,
122
but I do that all the time not because I'm a traitor He literally just said I'm a traitor
123
Got him no Walter is not a traitor.
124
Ah, this is painful.
125
How do you know?
126
He's not a traitor barely knows what's going on He'd be the worst trader of all time.
127
Ah, that's a good point.
128
Or maybe I'm just playing everybody and you're the biggest SUCKER of all time.
129
How dare you?
130
Well, at this point, Walter would be playing a double bluff and there's no way he could pull that off.
131
Oh, I can pull off a double bluff, okay?
132
You couldn't pull off finding your way out of a paper bag.
133
You guys are gonna be really sorry you didn't banish me when you had a chance.
134
Uh, I think we should be suspicious of the one person around this table who has not said a single word.
135
I have said three words so far.
136
I'm talking about grandpa. Which grandpa?
137
You're the only one here.
138
Oh, and what are we talking about here?
139
Did we get menus yet?
140
Okay, so this is a reality show called the traders and you're on it, unfortunately.
141
Oh, oh, oh, that's right.
142
That's right.
143
Yes, I am a traitor.
144
I was right.
145
You're not supposed to just tell us you're a traitor.
146
Now wait a second.
147
How do I know that I'm a traitor again?
148
Oh my god.
149
If you killed Brian last night.
150
Bye-bye, Brian.
151
Steve said it again.
152
He is grieving, Iris.
153
Brian's dead.
154
Well, that's too bad.
155
Was it expected?
156
They can't let this go to air, can they?
157
Well, like I just said, I am 100% faithful.
158
That's not what you just said!
159
The traitors have to stay up real late for their secret meetings, and I couldn't do that every night.
160
By 8 o'clock, I'm in bed falling asleep to the talking heads on TV arguing over politics.
161
It's 9 right now.
162
And those traitor meetings drag on, let me tell you.
163
Last night it was past midnight before Steven Blue Shirt could decide to murder Brian.
164
So you are a traitor?
165
Me?
166
Yes!
167
What I was, was a traitor.
168
To the traitors.
169
So you pretended to be a traitor, but you're actually a faithful?
170
I was a double agent just like back in the war.
171
Vietnam?
172
World War I.
173
You'd have to be like 125.
174
Yeah, probably.
175
Okay, well it's clear the traitors are Steve in blue shirt.
176
I'm not a traitor!
177
And I have a name.
178
Steve is 110% faithful.
179
I trust Steve with my life.
180
Steve has a heart of gold and could never, ever be a two-timing traitor like I could be.
181
You're just gonna ignore all the evidence against Steve because you have an emotional attachment to him?
182
It would seem so.
183
Well, at least you're consistently illogical.
184
Allow me to point out that being a double agent is not a thing in this game.
185
So Grandpa is lying to us and is in fact a traitor.
186
No, I'm sorry, what did she say?
187
Come on, look at him, do you really think Grandpa could be a traitor?
188
If Grandpa got chosen over me to be a traitor, I will be livid.
189
I honestly don't know if Grandpa's a traitor or
190
if he's just suffering from severe cognitive decline due to being 125 years old.
191
My cognition is perfect, I am number three on the worldwide leaderboard for the hit mobile game smacking bunnies.
192
Wow, maybe I was wrong about Grandpa.
193
I saw Dose Traitors.
194
Blue short?
195
Hey, my name is Blue Shirt!
196
I mean, no, my name is... And Steve.
197
I'm not Steve.
198
I look nothing like Steve.
199
Grandpa said he saw you there, and he's number three on the leaderboard for Smackin' Bunnies, so...
200
He called me Steve.
201
You called Constantine Mike.
202
And it of hurt my feelings.
203
He put me on the spot and I got flustered, okay?
204
Let me ask you all something.
205
Who else would get flustered except a traitor?
206
Butt out, George.
207
George.
208
Walter.
209
Dang it.
210
I'll make this easy, everyone.
211
Please vote for me.
212
I'd like to go home as soon as possible
213
so I can start working through the trauma of being on this show with my therapist.
214
For the record, my name is...
215
The time for deliberation is over.
216
Are you kidding me?
217
Players, write down who you think should be banished from my castle forever.
218
The votes are locked in.
219
Players, let's see who you've chosen to banish.
220
Iris, tell us who you voted for and why.
221
Steve, I voted for you because it's extremely obvious.
222
Next, Venetia.
223
Who did you vote for?
224
Blue shirt, sorry, I know it's a little ironic.
225
No apology needed.
226
Minta, please revere your vote.
227
I voted for Genevieve, sorry.
228
I just didn't know who to vote for and you were the last person named, so...
229
So you voted for me due to the psychological phenomenon known as the recency effect.
230
That's great.
231
I didn't understand anything she just said.
232
Walter.
233
Genevieve, because you call me George.
234
I can't believe this.
235
Philomena.
236
Genevieve, yeah, I don't know if you're a traitor, but I wouldn't feel too bad about you getting banished either way.
237
Thanks.
238
Cam, I voted for blue shirt, but I put a broken heart to dot the i to show that I'm sad about it.
239
Genevieve, Steve, it's like he went to ChadGBD
240
and asked what are the signs someone is a traitor and then did all those things.
241
No, I didn't.
242
That's two votes for Steve, two votes for blue shirt.
243
Okay, I know you know my name.
244
And three votes for Genevieve.
245
It's unflippin believable.
246
I don't think Blue Shirt's a traitor, but he asked us to vote for him, so...
247
You are a gentleman and a scholar.
248
Blue Shirt.
249
Steve.
250
Grandpa.
251
Oh, well this was a hard decision, but I'll take the sea bass.
252
Okay, Blue Shirt.
253
I wish I could vote for me, but instead I'll vote for your mom.
254
Tristan, who did you vote for?
255
And if it's a joke, I might strike you.
256
No joke.
257
Genevieve.
258
You got suspiciously nervous when the heat was on you.
259
I get nervous when the heat isn't on me.
260
That's just how I am.
261
I'm a nervous person.
262
Steve, who did you vote for and why?
263
Bye bye, Brian.
264
Oh my gosh.
265
Spencer, Grandpa. Which one?
266
We gotta get rid of him, even if he's a faithful.
267
I don't care, he makes deliberations so confusing and laborious, there's no chance we're ever gonna get a traitor with him around.
268
You are so mean.
269
I know, thank you.
270
And that's why I should have been a traitor.
271
But the show screwed up and picked three of you jokers and clowns.
272
And one of them could be me, just saying.
273
The statistical probability of you being a traitor is negative infinity percent.
274
Oh, bless your heart.
275
Bless it.
276
That's three votes for Steve.
277
Four votes for Blue Shirt.
278
It's blue.
279
Four votes for Genevieve.
280
One vote for Grandpa.
281
One vote for Bye Bye Brian.
282
One vote for your mom.
283
And a dinner order for Seabass.
284
I'm awake.
285
Only one vote remains.
286
PJ, if you voted for Bruchert or Genevieve, they will be banished from my castle forever.
287
PJ, revere your vote to us now.
288
Wow, I've got the power.
289
Anytime.
290
Don't ruin this for me.
291
It is with great pleasure that I cast the deciding vote and crush the hopes and dreams of...
292
She voted for blue shirt.
293
Back off Spencer!
294
Yes!
295
So long suckers.
296
Blue shirt, come down to the circuit of truth and reveal to us, are you a faithful or a traitor?
297
Well, first of all, thank you all for nothing.
298
You're welcome.
299
I met nobody that I liked and hated every second of this.
300
You burn those bridges, dog.
301
And I am and always have been.
302
It's a little awkward because the circle of truth is behind me.
303
Oh, faithful!
304
Guys, come on.
305
Do you really think I was a traitor?
306
Give me a break.
307
And my name is...
308
Players, the traitors have slipped through your fingers.
309
I'll just go.
310
Do try to do better tomorrow.
311
Why'd you dummies vote for blue shirt?
312
He literally asked us to.
313
You old fool, you led us astray!
314
He did.
315
He did, he did.
316
Ashtray?
317
Sorry, I don't have one.
318
I switched over to vapes.
319
You're about to need to switch to life support.
320
I feel like a ding dong bell.
321
Why did I listen to anything Grandpa said?
322
He voted for sea bass.
323
Poor blue shirt.
324
And who got us voting for him?
325
Grandpapa.
326
Well, I can't vote for Grandpa.
327
He's like 125 years old.
328
If we do not get Grandpa banished next time, I will literally flip the round table over.
329
I know it's a gigantic table made of solid wood, and I'm only 5 feet tall and 90 pounds, but I'll do it.
330
I'll be so angry.
331
The adrenaline will make me be able to do it.
332
And I'll tell everyone to get out of the room first because it's going to be kind of dangerous.
333
I'm telling you, Grandpa's got to go or I'm going to flip over the round table.
334
I'll do it.
335
I am playing the greatest double bluff since World War I.
336
I told everyone point blank that I am a traitor
337
and they won't believe me because they think I'm too old and senile.
338
I am going to win this whole thing.
339
I just need to find a way to take out those other two traitors.
340
I could really use that money because I'm still paying off my student loans from like 1917.
341
This is the nicest Cracker Barrel I've ever been to.
342
And I've been to quite a few, let me tell you.
343
I'm positive of two things.
344
One, Steve is a traitor.
345
And B, everyone else is an imbecile.
346
I would bet my life savings that Steve is a traitor.
347
My life savings is $37 and change that I keep in a piggy bank.
348
Why do people think I'm a traitor?
349
I'm just being my authentic self.
350
Brian was the only one who understood me.
351
Bye-bye, Brian.
352
The only people I think for sure are faithfuls are me, clearly.
353
Steve, whom I trust with my life.
354
Walter, because Walter.
355
I could be a traitor.
356
I'd be an amazing traitor.
357
I mean, I'm like so good at lying and deception.
358
Oh, who am I kidding?
359
I feel like I'm gonna throw up just talking about it. And Minta.
360
She's not strategic enough to be a traitor.
361
I can tell Grandpa is going to play this game dirty, so I need to stab him in the back first.
362
Literally, if necessary.
363
Okay, not literally.
364
I realize that's probably not legal for me to say.
365
I think I've figured it out.
366
The traitors are Grandpa, Menta, and...
367
I never learned the third person's name.
368
It doesn't matter.
369
No one's gonna listen to me anyway.
370
Whew, after that roundtable, I think I am in danger of getting murdered.
371
Because the traitors are gonna want to get rid of a guy like me, who's clearly got the biggest brain in the room.
372
You know, I still have no idea who the traitors are.
373
This game really makes you lose faith in humanity.
374
Not that I had that much to begin with.
375
This was actually my whole strategy coming into the game.
376
To talk so openly about wanting to be a traitor
377
that everyone would just assume I was a faithful because no traitor would ever want to call that much attention to themselves.
378
And what do you know?
379
Not once did my name come up.
380
No one suspects I'm a traitor.
381
It's the perfect strategy.
382
Which is why it's so infuriating that you people didn't pick me to be a traitor!
383
I'm so glad I can help save Steve from banishment because he's such a nice guy.
384
Plus, as long as he's around, people are going to keep accusing him of being a traitor, which will keep everyone off the scent of us real traitors.

¿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.
