1
Hey, no cuts.
2
You're behind my backpack.
3
It's holding my place.
4
Sorry, there's no holding places.
5
Well, put it back.
6
It's my helper backpack.
7
I'm very injured.
8
No, you're not.
9
You're just lazy.
10
I saw you vault over two trash cans on your way in here.
11
Are you saying I'm faking?
12
This is real.
13
I might be out for the whole rest of the football season.
14
Everyone's freaking out.
15
Oh, yeah, me too.
16
I'm just hiding it behind, not caring at all.
17
Well, I probably don't care about whatever it is you do either, so...
18
Actually, I'm co-founder of the Green Club, photographer on the school paper.
19
Axel Heck, your assigned tutor is Cassidy Finch.
20
Well, great.
21
I see you two have already started to get to know one another.
22
Oh.
23
And in my spare time, I tutor dumb jocks.
24
So, your score of zero out of 20 on the quiz makes it pretty clear
25
that you read nothing about the Bay of Pigs invasion.
26
Well, in my defense, I was totally sitting down to read this
27
when the guys called me and invited me to the lake.
28
Everyone was there.
29
And P.S awesomeness ensued.
30
Why didn't you go?
31
Steve, this is why I hate high school.
32
All everyone does is go to lame parties.
33
And for your information, I had to study.
34
And so should you.
35
You have a test tomorrow.
36
No. The teacher said yesterday it was the day after tomorrow.
37
Wow.
38
God does not give with both hands.
39
And that means what?
40
It means attractive people are usually not that bright.
41
I'm not that bright.
42
You think I'm attractive?
43
I didn't mean it that way.
44
OK, so where was I?
45
The Bay of Pigs, right?
46
It's important because it was a crucial moment in history.
47
I mean, those three days were fraught with confusion and tension.
48
JFK had only been in office a couple of months.
49
He barely knew what he was doing and yet he knew he had to take bold action.
50
He deployed...
51
How you like high school now?
52
Seriously?
53
Oh my god, I have to go.
54
What?
55
Oh, you're reviving me all these signals
56
and you're saying I didn't have to go to parties and you're talking about tension and deployment and stuff.
57
What was I supposed to do?
58
Oh, hey.
59
Hey.
60
Um, look, I know I'm the last person you want to see, but, uh, I just wanted to let you know I got a B on that government test.
61
Really?
62
That's great, Axel.
63
Nice job.
64
Yeah.
65
Um, I know things are kind of weird between us now because of that kiss thing, so I get if you don't want to tutor me anymore.
66
It was lame of me.
67
You hated it.
68
Sorry and stuff.
69
So just to recap, me, lame.
70
Bye.
71
I didn't hate it.
72
You didn't?
73
No. Actually, it was kind of pleasant.
74
But the thing is, I have a boyfriend.
75
He's away at college, so it's moot.
76
Cool.
77
Cool.
78
Yeah.
79
Yeah, um, uh, yeah, well, if you ever break up with that moot guy, let me know.

¿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.
