1
Good morning.
2
What can I do for you?
3
I want to report a theft.
4
I had some things stolen out of my bag yesterday.
5
I'm sorry to hear that.
6
Right, so I'll need to take a few details.
7
Can I start with your name?
8
Louise Taylor.
9
Okay, thank you.
10
And are you resident in the UK?
11
No, I'm actually Canadian, though my mother was British.
12
And your date of birth?
13
December 14th, 1977.
14
So you're just visiting this country.
15
That's right.
16
I come over most summers on business.
17
I'm an interior designer, and I come over to buy old furniture.
18
Antiques, you know?
19
There are some really lovely things around here, but you need to get out to the small towns.
20
I've had a really good trip this year, until this happened.
21
Okay, so you've been here quite a while?
22
Yes, I'm here for two months.
23
I go back next week.
24
So, may I ask where you're staying now?
25
Well, at present, I've got a place at Park Apartments that's on King Street.
26
I was staying at the Riverside Apartments on the same street, but the apartment there was only available for six weeks,
27
so I had to find another one.
28
Okay.
29
And the apartment number?
30
Fifteen.
31
Right.
32
Now, I need to take some details of the theft.
33
So you said you had some things stolen out of your bag?
34
That's right.
35
And were you actually carrying the bag when the theft took place?
36
Yes.
37
I really can't understand it.
38
I had my backpack on, and I went into a supermarket to buy a few things, and when I opened it up, my wallet wasn't there.
39
And what did your wallet have in it?
40
Well, fortunately, I don't keep my credit cards in that wallet.
41
I keep them with my passport in an inside compartment in my backpack, but there was quite a bit of cash there.
42
About 250 pounds sterling, I should think.
43
I withdrew 300 pounds from my account yesterday, but I did a bit of shopping,
44
so I must have already spent about fifty pounds of that.
45
Okay.
46
At first I thought, oh, I must have left the wallet back in the apartment.
47
But then I realized my phone had gone as well.
48
It was only a week old, and that's when I realized I'd been robbed.
49
Anyway, at least they didn't take the keys to my rental car.
50
Yes.
51
So you say the theft occurred yesterday?
52
Yes.
53
So that was September the 10th?
54
And do you have any idea at all of where or when the things might possibly have been stolen?
55
Well, at first I couldn't believe it
56
because the bag had been on my back ever since I left the apartment after lunch.
57
It's just a small backpack, but I generally use it when I'm traveling because it seems safer than a handbag.
58
Anyway, I met up with a friend, and we spent a couple of hours in the museum.
59
But I do remember that as we were leaving there, at about four o 'clock, a group of young boys ran up to us,
60
and they were really crowding round us, and they were asking us what time it was.
61
Then all of a sudden, they ran off.
62
Can you remember anything about them?
63
The one who did most of the talking was wearing a t -shirt with a picture of something.
64
Uh, let's see.
65
A tiger.
66
Right.
67
Any idea of how old he might have been?
68
Around twelve years old.
69
And can you remember anything else about his appearance?
70
Not much.
71
He was quite thin.
72
Color of hair?
73
I do remember that.
74
He was blonde.
75
All the others were dark -haired.
76
And any details of the others?
77
Not really.
78
They came and went so quickly.
79
Right.
80
So what I'm going to do now is give you a crime reference number so you can contact your insurance company.
81
So this is ten digits.
82
8795482361. Thank you.
83
So, should I contact...

¿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.
