1
Hang on a second.
2
Okay, you have my undivided attention.
3
Right, have you found someone to interview for the plastics feature yet?
4
That's what I wanted to talk about.
5
I think there's been a misunderstanding.
6
I just wanted to clarify what I actually meant by living without plastic in my pitch.
7
Go on.
8
Well, my plan wasn't to interview someone else.
9
I wanted to do an experiment myself, try to live without plastics for a month.
10
The main hook for the readers is imagining a life without plastic.
11
Huh.
12
Okay.
13
I obviously got the wrong end of the stick there.
14
The thing is, I'll need a bit of money for expenses.
15
You know, so I can shop for everyday products that don't contain plastic.
16
Money's tight right now.
17
You can't find anything in the budget?
18
What I'm saying is doing the experiment yourself isn't an option.
19
That's to say there's no time, no resources.
20
Why not find someone to interview instead?
21
Someone who's already doing it.
22
Although bear in mind, we can't pay a fee for interviews either.
23
Okay.
24
I'll take a look.
25
See who I can find.
26
I know it's not initially what you had in mind, but...
27
I'm sure you can still do a great job.
28
What have you got so far?
29
Well, I've done a lot of research.
30
Really interesting stuff on the linear plastics economy and green chemistry.
31
Susan, pretend I don't know anything about this because I don't.
32
Yes, of course.
33
So, in layman's terms, linear plastics economy is single -use plastic designed for the dump.
34
Stuff like plastic shopping bags, shampoo bottles and coffee cups.
35
We chuck out 95 % of all plastic containers and packaging.
36
95 %?
37
Wow.
38
and green chemistry that's about designing products and processes
39
that cut out on all the hazardous stuff
40
or at least cut down on it anyway all
41
this is just background for the story right gotcha listen i know you're new here
42
so if you don't mind i'll just go over our approach style wise we put out informative
43
and entertaining stuff in other words
44
There's no investigative journalism, no exposing wrongdoing, nothing like that.
45
Leave that to Newsweek.
46
The point I'm trying to make is keep it light, but with a bit of gravitas.
47
Friendly, but with no dumbing down.
48
Okay, I actually thought we could have small fact boxes like that 95 % figure.
49
I mean, without going overboard with all the technical stuff and a few quotations from a scientist, maybe?
50
Great.
51
Just to keep it accessible and engaging.
52
Oh, and get a good photo of the expert if you can.
53
What about the other images?
54
Well, I like this photo of seabirds on the piles of waste.
55
Really evocative.
56
Yes, but remember we're not National Geographic.
57
Try and stay more on topic.
58
Right, right.
59
I'm sure I can find some good stock photos.
60
Perfect.
61
Also, I was thinking, maybe our readers might want to contribute their own ideas and tips for life without plastic.
62
Like it?
63
We can get good engagement with that.
64
Right, well, we seem to be on the same page now.
65
Let's chat deadlines.
66
Thank you.

- Palabras largas — cuida el acento: experiment /ɪkˈspɛɹ.ə.mənt/, accessible /əkˈsɛs.ɪ.bəl/, investigative /ɪnˈvɛstɪɡətɪv/, informative /ɪnˈfɔːmətɪv/, evocative /ɪˈvɒk.ə.tɪv/

- /dʒ/ — no es la “y” ni la “ch”: package /ˈpæk.ɪd͡ʒ/, engage /ɪnˈɡeɪd͡ʒ/, engagement /ɪnˈɡeɪd͡ʒ.mənt/, journalism /ˈd͡ʒɝnl̩ˌɪzəm/
Cómo practicar con este vídeo

- Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como experiment, chemistry, reader.
¿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.
