1
What happened, guys?
2
Where's the truck?
3
Uh, well, there was a bit of a mix -up.
4
Oh, no. What?
5
Well, the rental company had our reservation listed for this afternoon, not this morning.
6
So, until then, no truck.
7
It seems like it was just a mistake, but I got kind of upset with the guy at the front desk.
8
Really?
9
That doesn't sound like you.
10
Yeah, normally I would have been more polite.
11
It's just that I've been so stressed.
12
Getting ready to move and all.
13
Well, you must have been frustrated.
14
I was, but I feel terrible.
15
I shouldn't have lost my temper.
16
It wasn't his fault, really.
17
That may be true, but he really could have been more helpful.
18
So, what are you going to do?
19
I don't have much choice.
20
I leave for Los Angeles in two days.
21
So I'm going to pick up the truck this afternoon.
22
Well, it sounds like you couldn't have done much else, Liz.
23
And don't worry.
24
I can help this afternoon.
25
No problem.
26
So can I.
27
Me too.
28
Oh, thanks, you guys.
29
I really owe you one.
30
So since we have the time, why don't we help you with your boxes?
31
That's a great idea.
32
Come on.
33
So, where do you want this?
34
Um, let's just pile all the boxes in the living room for now.
35
You got it.
36
I've got this one.
37
Ooh, what happened here?
38
There's a big stain on the floor.
39
Oh, yeah.
40
There's a problem with the refrigerator.
41
It was leaking, and it caused some water damage. But it's working now?
42
Yeah.
43
The landlord got someone to come in and fix it.
44
Finally.
45
It took a long time.
46
Is your landlord going to have the floor repaired before someone else moves in?
47
He should.
48
Hey, Liz.
49
Why won't the light turn on in here?
50
Oh, you know what?
51
The light in here was flickering on and off this morning.
52
I'm not sure what's wrong.
53
Hold on.
54
Maybe I can fix it.
55
Ta -da!
56
The light bulb just needed to be screwed in tighter.
57
You're kidding.
58
I should have known that.
59
I guess I'm kind of out of it.
60
Thanks.
61
Uh -oh.
62
What's wrong with the shower?
63
Oh, it won't turn off completely.
64
It keeps dripping.
65
I think the shower head might need to be replaced.
66
Want me to try to fix it?
67
Sure, if it won't take you too long.
68
The knob on the faucet is loose.
69
Maybe it just needs tightening.
70
Do you have a screwdriver?
71
So, that's everything in the kitchen.
72
What's next?
73
Uh, that picture needs to be taken down.
74
Okay.
75
Uh -oh, there's a hole in the wall.
76
Oh, yeah.
77
Yeah, I should get that fixed before the landlord comes.
78
He's coming later this week to inspect the place.
79
We want to make sure we get our security deposit back.
80
Do you have to get the apartment painted too?
81
No, no, that's the landlord's responsibility.
82
We do need to have the place cleaned though.
83
Okay, got that end?
84
Just a sec.
85
Ow, that hurt.
86
You okay?
87
Yeah, I'm fine.
88
I just broke a nail.
89
You need help?
90
No, I think we can handle it.
91
Thanks anyway.
92
Okay.
93
You ready?
94
Let's try it again.
95
One, two, three, lift.
96
Oh, shoot.
97
Is everything okay?
98
What happened?
99
Oh, Alex was trying to fix the shower.
100
Yeah, but I didn't realize I had to turn off the water first.
101
Ugh.

  3. Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como desk, helpful, repair.

¿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.
