I was going to say water.
11
Oh, girl, no. Hey, what?
12
Girl, you knew.
13
This one isn't right.
14
What?
15
What?
16
It doesn't have lines, babe. Are you into geography?
17
No. Why?
18
Because I'm from America, babe.
19
The only geography I know is California.
20
Not the...
21
Would you say that you were a romantic person?
22
I can be romantic.
23
Yeah?
24
It depends the situation.
25
I feel like I need to, like, be with the right person because no one really gets my freak.
26
How would you describe your freak?
27
Probably gay.
28
Is New York a romantic place?
29
It can be.
30
I, again, think it just is about the people because so many people, they're up there on ours.
31
Arse.
32
Yeah, I'm trying to be British. Are you quite blind?
33
Yeah, I'm really blind.

That's why I'm wearing these glasses.

Are you modeling right now?
36
Yes.
37
Okay.
38
Sam, what you think, boo?
39
I'm selling it.
40
Everybody get you a boneless.
41
Um...
42
Sam, is this gluten-free?
43
I don't think it is.
44
I think he's scared of me.
45
Do you like boneless?
46
Yes, babe, I can't eat the bone.
47
My type's model of the M.
48
Oh!
49
Mm.
50
Okay, well, today's your perfect date then.
51
What do you do to make a date not awkward?
52
My favorite thing to do is not bring my wallet.
53
That kind of always makes it awkward.
54
One time I wanted to date with someone.
55
Oh, I have a lot of interesting date stories, babe.
56
I need to tell you about this one in particular.
57
I didn't bring my wallet, and I guess neither did he.
58
Humbled me.
59
Do you think a fashion show is a good place to fall in love?
60
Hell no. Actually, low-key, yes.
61
I do.
62
I've always had this, like, freaky dream of having sex backstage at a fashion show.
63
And has it ever happened?
64
Mm-mm.
65
What has to happen, do you think, for that to happen?
66
I need to be around someone that's not gay.
67
Do you think you'd make a good nurse in real life?
68
No, girl.
69
I don't know how to do any of that shit.
70
Like, how do I take a pulse?
71
Do you know how to take a pulse?
72
Well, I think you put your fingers, like, on their skin or something like that.
73
No, not on the elbow.
74
That's a bone.
75
I heard that if you weren't a model, you'd be a mathematician.
76
I would.
77
I would love to be a circus performer.
78
Tightrope with this tight pussy.
79
Okay.
80
I feel like that makes sense.
81
What would you do, girl?
82
Well, I actually would love to be a dancer.
83
Hey, background? That was so shady.
84
I'm kidding.
85
I don't want to be a background dancer.
86
I want to be the star performer.
87
Oh my god, okay, period.
88
So like dancing with the stars.
89
Why did that?
90
Why wasn't that the first thing that came to your head with me?
91
Because I want to be a background dancer.
92
Well, good for you.
93
We would make a great combination.
94
Okay, cool.
95
Well, if it was me and you together, then I would be kind of down.
96
Diva down.
97
Diva down?
98
Diva down.
99
Diva down, yeah.
100
But you'd diva up.
101
Diva up?
102
And you'd be down?
103
None of us are down.
104
We're going up from here.
105
Who's Victoria and what's her secret?
106
Well, Victoria's actually this middle-aged man named Victor.
107
Yeah, and he doesn't have any secrets.
108
He's an open book. Are you artistic?
109
Artistic?
110
Mm-hmm.
111
Yeah.
112
I'm like, yes!
113
I'm very artistic, honestly.
114
Like, it's like my thing.
115
Like, if you know me, you know I'm artistic, so I'm surprised you didn't know that.
116
Do you like believe in witches?
117
Yeah.
118
I am a witch.
119
I'm a witch.
120
Believe it or not.
121
Has anyone ever shit their pants during a date?
122
Not that I know of.
123
Would you like...
124
Would you like...
125
What?
126
Sorry.
127
I just shit my pants.
128
Just kidding.
129
I didn't.
130
I'm a Cancer. Are you?
131
Leo cusp.
132
So I was born in Leo, but...
133
So you're a Leo?
134
Yeah. But I'm a cusp.
135
You know what that means?
136
So it's like I was born...
137
This is actually...
138
I was born at 4.20am, the first day of Leo.
139
I get on really well with Leos.
140
Period.
141
Makes sense.
142
Aquarius.
143
Blubbit.
144
Baddie.
145
Really?
146
B-H-A-D.
147
Bahad.
148
Bahad.
149
That's you.
150
Okay.
151
Well, I'm glad that we do believe in star signs though, or is it just sort of powerful?
152
I do.
153
I used to not, but I feel like now more than ever, I'm like meeting people and I'm like, it gives, like, your sign, no shade, sometimes.
154
Like, Aquarius is good, Taurus is fine, Aries is great.
155
Yeah.
156
Gemini.
157
I'm a guy and I'll do a couple things later.
158
I'm 13 people now, or 31 people like the other day.
159
We'll get a full-time job.
160
There's so much for me that I'm so much better than I can.
161
I'm just kidding.
162
I'm just kidding.
163
I'm just kidding.
164
I'm just kidding.
165
I'm just kidding.
166
I'm just kidding.
167
Like a weird combination of your hair, you're trying to sell your hair and I don't want to know get in the ice 30.
168
That's crazy because you're only 21.
169
21. 21.
170
No, honestly, it was.
171
Do you think there's a misconception that models don't have a personality, or are you just the only exception?
172
I mean, some of them have personalities, but they're just not fun.
173
They're just very concerned with their appearance, maybe over anything else.
174
Yeah, no one wants to be ugly anymore.
175
I mean, like, you don't always need to be serving cunt.
176
Do you think that beauty is actually more important on the inside than the outside?
177
I've always said this, I don't know if you agree, but I don't remember what someone looks like, I remember how they act.
178
Do you think that I would suit a bleached brow?
179
Yeah.
180
That, it sounded like that was a no. Yes.
181
Would you go to space?
182
No. I don't like that.
183
I feel like I already gave Alien.
184
So I kind of want to just do it here.
185
Maybe it's actually fun being single.
186
Maybe we don't need anyone.
187
I think 2025 is the year of being single.
188
Wow.
189
Actually.
190
Profound.
191
Yeah, because, I mean, yeah, being in a relationship is fun, but, like, so much work. Are you paying?
192
Because I didn't bring my wallet, so...
193
Classic you.
194
I've already paid.
195
Hey!
196
I'm in my dream!
197
People say models don't eat, but...
198
Well, I ate, so y'all can stay mad.
199
You already ate.
200
Believe it or not, it's actually 10 a.m right now.
201
Don't...
202
Sorry, I'm ruining the fantasy.
203
10 a.m., you guys.
204
It's not.
205
Thank you.

¿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.
