Well, I suppose it had to happen sometime.

I mean, however good-natured you are, there's only so much bad behaviour you can take.
3
Yeah.
4
I mean, we've known him all these years, and we've put up with all sorts of terrible scenes with him, and times when he's been awful to both of us.
5
I'm just amazed neither of us has had the guts to say anything to him before.
6
I'm not sure it was a lack of courage on my part.
7
I think it was more a misplaced sense of loyalty.
8
I mean, we go back a long way.
9
I know, but it's hard to come up with many good memories.
10
Anyway, I guess it's over now and that's the last we'll see of him.
11
Yeah, his reaction was typical.
12
The minute we confronted him about this latest dreadful piece of behaviour, he just totally lost it.
13
He's obviously never had any idea of the effect he has on people, even people who were supposed to be his friends.
14
Well, it was inevitable that it would come to this.
15
We've said our piece and frankly I'm glad to see the back of him.
16
So that's that.
17
Yeah, let's forget all about it now.
18
Now you will hear the recording again.

OK, we've had a letter here from Paul who says that his friends are into all the latest trendy hobbies and fashions, whereas he really likes trains.
37
He's a train spotter.
38
He likes looking at trains and reading about them and collecting the numbers of ones he's seen, his friends make fun of him for it.
39
He's worried that they'll stop being his friends if he carries on with his hobby.
40
What would you tell him, Esther?
41
Well, we usually end up choosing friends because we have something in common with them.
42
Perhaps he needs to look at why he wants to be friendly with these people
43
when they make fun of what he's interested in.
44
I'm sure there are plenty of potential friends out there who share his interest.
45
With them, he could enjoy that interest rather than having it used against him.
46

57
well of course no single theory has yet been able to explain how jokes work
58
even the great comedians have been stuck for a proper analysis of course many jokes are written backwards with the punchline,
59
the funny line at the end that gets the laugh, sorted out first.
60
However, a line or a phrase doesn't necessarily need a narrative set up to make us laugh.
61
Witness comedy shows in which characters get laughs simply from saying catchphrases.
62
This is also how an in-joke works among a group of friends.
63
Life itself provides the setup and a word
64
or two sometimes just a knowing look between two people who
65
are in on the joke provides the punchline another thing about jokes is
66
that a professional comedian's routine may be based on personal experience
67
but real experience doesn't tend to come conveniently complete with a
68
punchline that's why most comics are outrageous liars it's also why
69
some comics may even begin to provoke hilarious episodes by deliberately forgetting their wedding anniversaries or leaving their children in the supermarket.

¿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.
