I think you need to go straight to hospital.

Hospital, said Mum.
63
She's only eaten too many sweets.

I'm not talking about Bella, said Mrs. Smails.

I'm talking about Joe.
66
Didn't you notice that he'd broken his elbow?
67
What? said Mum.

At the hospital, Mum and Joe had to sit in the waiting room until Joe could have his x-ray.
69
Why didn't you tell me?

Mum said.
71
I did try, said Joe But you wouldn't listen Then my teacher noticed I couldn't move my arm
72
At the hospital they were very kind to Joe They took an x-ray of his arm
73
And the doctor showed him the picture of the crack in his bone

¿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.
