I'm having some trouble with the sales report.

It's my first one, and I'm a bit lost.

Don't worry, everybody finds the first one hard.

Which part are you stuck on?

I'm not sure where to find last month's figures.

They're all in the shared folder, under Finance.

Oh, I've looked there, but I couldn't open the file.

Ah, you probably need permission from the manager.

I'll send her a quick message for you.
12
That's really kind of you. Thank you.
13
While I'm here, could I ask something else?

Keep it short. One page is usually enough.

I should have a first draft by tomorrow lunchtime.

Perfect. Just drop it on my desk.

Thanks again, Martin. You've saved me hours.
26
Happy to help. We've all been new once.

I'll bring you a coffee tomorrow, I promise.

Now that's an offer I can't refuse.

¿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.
