So today, I'm going to talk about the zoo.
Hoy voy a hablarles del zoológico.
6
This is a topic that I really like because I've always liked going to the zoo.
Este es un tema que me gusta mucho porque siempre me ha gustado ir al zoológico.
7
I'm from San Diego, which has one of the best zoos in the world.
Soy de San Diego, que tiene uno de los mejores zoológicos del mundo.
8
The San San Diego Zoo is famous for its animals and exhibits.

9
I have many great memories from this zoo,
Tengo muchos recuerdos maravillosos de este zoológico.
10
and I hope that I get to go again soon.

11
Let's talk about the different animals that you can find at a big zoo like the San Diego Zoo.
Hablemos de los diferentes animales que puedes encontrar en un zoológico grande como el Zoológico de San Diego.
12
Let's start with the most famous animal at the zoo, the panda bear.
Comencemos con el animal más famoso del zoológico, el oso panda.
13
This animal is many people's favorite animal, including my wife's.
Este animal es el favorito de mucha gente, incluida mi esposa.
14
Honestly, I don't know why so many people love pandas,
Honestamente, no sé por qué a tanta gente le encantan los pandas.
15
because they seem pretty boring to me.
porque me parecen bastante aburridos.
16
But I think people just find them cute and funny.
Pero creo que la gente simplemente los encuentra lindos y graciosos.
17
They're also popular because only certain zoos are allowed to have them.
También son populares porque solo ciertos zoológicos tienen permitido tenerlos.
18
Most zoos around the world don't have any pandas, actually.
En realidad, la mayoría de los zoológicos del mundo no tienen pandas.
19
So that's another reason why the San Diego Zoo is really famous.
Esa es otra razón por la que el zoológico de San Diego es tan famoso.
20
However, I like other types of bears more.
Sin embargo, me gustan más otros tipos de osos.
21
When I was in college,
Cuando estaba en la universidad,
22
I took an animal biology class,
Tomé una clase de biología animal,
23
and for one of my projects,
y para uno de mis proyectos,
24
I studied the sun bear.
Estudié al oso malayo.
25
This is one of my favorite animals,
Este es uno de mis animales favoritos,
26
because it's a really unique type of bear.
porque es un tipo de oso realmente único.
27
It's smaller than other bears,
Es más pequeño que otros osos,
28
and it spends a lot of its time climbing trees,
y pasa mucho tiempo trepando árboles,
29
which I think is pretty cool.
30
Alright, moving on to safari animals,
31
there are elephants, lions, rhinoceroses,
32
giraffes, and a lot of other species.
33
These exhibits are some of the most popular ones at many zoos because these animals are so iconic.
34
Children love watching movies and reading books about the wild animals in Africa,
35
so of course they want to see them in real life too.
36
I've always liked the big cat animals such as lions,
Siempre me han gustado los grandes felinos como los leones,
37
but honestly they don't do much.
38
When you see them at the zoo,
39
they're always just lying down or sleeping.
40
The elephants are usually more active,
41
and it's always fun to watch them swing their trunks around.
42
Other popular attractions at the zoo are the monkeys,
43
gorillas, and those types of animals.
44
There are usually some different types of small monkeys that are really energetic and playful.
45
You can always see them swinging from tree to tree and playing with each other.
46
The gorillas, on the other hand, are usually calmer.
47
But sometimes, they get really close to the glass and look right at you.
Pero a veces, se acercan mucho al cristal y te miran fijamente.
48
It's actually kind of scary,
49
because it feels like they can reach out and grab you.
50
One other exhibit that's usually pretty popular is the Arctic exhibit.
Otra exposición que suele ser bastante popular es la del Ártico.
51
This is where they have the polar bears.
Aquí es donde tienen a los osos polares.
52
This exhibit is way different from the other exhibit,
53
because it's a completely different climate.
54
It's ice, rocks, and cold water.
55
Some zoos also have penguins as well,
56
which are some of the funnest animals to watch.
57
They constantly jump in and out of the water,
58
and you get to see the cool way that they swim.
59
Penguins are definitely some of my favorite animals.
60
Alright, that's all for today.
61
Leave a comment down below and tell me what your favorite animal is.
62
I'll see you next time.

¿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.
