On Pleasant Valley Parkway.

Do you remember this?

9
I was wrong, no question about it.
10
I made a right-hand turn,
11
and that's the first violation I've gotten in 72 years of driving.

Really?
13
Yep, look up my record.
14
I'm going to look it up.

You were in the Navy?
25
Yep.
26
How long did you serve?
27
I served three years.
28
1943, February on my 17th birthday,
29
I joined the Navy and I didn't come back for three years.
30
And the truth of the story is,
31
I can tell you a little story if you've got a few minutes.
32
I want to hear it.
33
I joined the Navy when I was 16 years old.
34
I went up to Federal Hill Holy Ghost Church.

I forged it.

I joined the Navy.
40
Everything went fine until two weeks later the policeman in the Navy come up
41
and they wanted to arrest me because I forged my birth certificate.
42

44
29 months in the Pacific.
45
Every battle that was in the Pacific, I was there.
46
I was in it.
47
I received letters from people every day and I received a number of letters from veterans
48
who actually send me checks and the purpose for them sending me checks is to help other veterans.
49
Now, I would really dismiss your case outright anyway.
50
I would dismiss it.
51
It's not going to go on your record,
52
but I'm not going to have you pay anything of this.
53
But I have a gentleman who sent me a check for $50,
54
and he wants me to—he said his father was a World War II Navy veteran.
55
And please use this to honor him in his service as a veteran.
56
And you were a World War II Navy veteran as well.
57
So I'm going to use this check.
58
This is from Anthony Christensen.
59
And Mr. Christensen is from, looks like Panhandle, Texas.
60
Tell me about your experiences during the war.
61
Well, I was on board ship,
62
a big ship, a battleship,
63
and we were in many,
64
many battles, many of them.
65
The worst one I seen was Iwo Jima. That was a...
66
That was terrible.
67
We lost more Marines in that invasion,
68
and I think any other war outside of the Battle of the Bulge.
69
That was the worst activities.
70
You couldn't believe how bad that was.
71
You were there?
72
I was there.
73
Yes, I was.
74
I was in every battle in the Pacific from 1943 to 1945.
75
We didn't miss one.
76
Not one.
77
And they were brutal.
78
Well, you have been known as the greatest generation,
79
and you were the greatest generation.
80
And you said something earlier.
81
Second World War brought about a sense of patriotism in this country that we have not seen since.
82
Right.
83
But there was such strong patriotism that here you were,
84
a 16-year-old boy, and you wanted to go and fight for your country.
85
So much so that you even forged a document to try to get into the service to go and protect the country.
86
And I got caught. But you went back.
87
I went back a year later, right on my birthday.
88
I joined the Navy.
89
And within three or four months I was out in the Pacific.

Came into this country at 18 years old.

He couldn't get a job, things were tough.
93
He joined the army and he went into World War I.
94
He was there for 18 months and he survived.
95
He came home.
96
And that's how he became a citizen.
97
They should build a monument to your family between your father in World War I and you and all your cousins.
98
My uncles.
99
And your uncles in World War II.
100
Unbelievable.
101
And they all came back.
102
We all came back.
103
Yep.
104
Every one of them.
105
I can't thank you enough for your service.
106
Thank you.
107
Thank you.
108
Good luck to you.
109
You're welcome.

And that 93 judge, he's got a wonderful head of hair, too.
111
I've got to commend him for that.

Oh, he still does.
114
He still does.

A courtroom like no other.

¿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.
