1
Hi, my name is Evie and this is a video to help you practice your listening comprehension.
2
Today, We are going out to buy a coffee and to walk my dog Wilson.
3
It is going to be a cozy, relaxing day because it is raining outside.
4
It has been raining all morning.
5
But, Now, I think the rain has stopped.
6
So let's go outside.
7
Let's take Wilson for a walk.
8
And let's spend some time together.
9
So I'm going to be cold if I don't put on a jumper.
10
I'm going to wear this one.
11
And it's this amazing Azul bleu We would also say in the UK,
12
that it is like a royal blue colour.
13
I'm also going to need a coat just in case it rains again.
14
I don't know if you can see me okay but this is Wilson.
15
Wilson
16
a sausage dog so he is super small
17
and he is very low to the ground basically Wilson hates
18
the rain I think he might need a little bit of persuasion to Come outside.
19
with us today.
20
Here is Wilson.
21
Let's go.
22
To take Wilson for a walk we need two things.
23
One is His Honest.
24
This goes over the top of his head.
25
and underneath his belly, This part here under his arms is called his armpits.
26
and we need a lead as well.
27
Let's go!
28
Come on then.
29
Good boy!
30
- Yeah you Okay.
31
I'm in the car with Wilson.
32
This is his tennis ball Wilson loves tennis balls.
33
This It's his favourite thing.
34
My favourite thing in the whole world is coffee.
35
So let's go.
36
What the f *ck?
37
So we just arrived and it started raining again.
38
You can see the windscreen wipers on my car are moving so that means the rain has started again.
39
- Thank you.
40
How does Thank you.
41
Thank you.
42
- Okay, I now have my coffee.
43
It's an iced caramel latte, which is My favourite coffee.
44
and it's so good.
45
I also wanted to talk a little bit about the fact that Wilson could go into the cafe with me.
46
I know that in every country this is not normal
47
but in the UK there are lots of cafes where you are allowed to bring your dog
48
and lots of pubs as well.
49
So it's quite common to see dogs in cafes.
50
For example there were two dogs in the cafe today.
51
So now it's time to take him, Wilson, for a walk.
52
Let's turn on the engine and see if it still beeps at me.
53
Okay, this is better but this is too much.
54
Okay, we have just arrived.
55
so much wind Last night there was a storm and the waves are breaking over the top of the cliffs.
56
So I think this is going to be quite a short walk today.
57
What do you think?
58
Wilson.
59
you you Thank you.
60
you Another thing about this beach is there is a church.
61
you you you you Thank you.
62
- Okay, it's Freddy.
63
- Oh What's up?
64
Good boy!
65
okay we have both just got back into the car.
66
It is like so windy outside.
67
I am so cold, my hands are freezing because the wind is really strong.
68
I also wanted to say this is my seatbelt and if you're wondering what the verb is,
69
for a seatbelt is we put our seatbelt On.
70
Also, my car is an automatic car.
71
I don't have to change gear.
72
So this is the gear stick and I just put it into drive mode
73
and then the car will change gear for me.
74
Down here, there are only two pedals.
75
This is the gas.
76
This is go and this is the brake.
77
If this car was a manual car, if this car had a gear stick,
78
then we would have another pedal here which in English we call the clutch.
79
This as well is my steering wheel.
80
These are my wing mirrors.
81
This here is the dashboard.
82
If you don't know how to drive,
83
Sorry for that explanation, but I thought I would give you some some car vocabulary while we're here.
84
And it's time.
85
It's time for us to go home.
86
- We just got back from I'll walk.
87
It's time to take off Wilson's harness.
88
over his head again and he doesn't want to be but he needs his belly to be dry.
89
Good boy, Wilson.
90
You're a good boy.
91
You're a good boy.
92
There we go.
93
So it's now time for lunch.
94
I have put some toast.
95
some toast in the toaster.
96
And here we have some soup.
97
I cannot eat all of this soup.
98
So, In this saucepan I am going to 'ladle' - this is a ladle.
99
I am going to ladle in one portion of soup just for me.
100
Also in the UK, we really like butter.
101
So I have this little pot of butter.
102
It has crumbs.
103
Crumbs in it.
104
But I'm going to butter.
105
my toast.
106
If you put butter on something, The verb is "to butter it" so I'm going to butter my toast.
107
Can you see the butter?
108
has melted into the toast So good.
109
Thank you.
110
Now I have washed up the dishes, it's time to dry them off.
111
and put them away i need to wipe down the counter as well
112
the rain has turned to ice and we call that hail.

¿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.
