1
It's great to see so many members of the Twinning Association here tonight.
2
Since the twinning link between our two towns, Stanthorpe here in England and Malat in France was established,
3
the relationship between the towns has gone from strength to strength.
4
Last month, 25 members of the association from Stanthorpe spent a weekend in Malat.
5
Our hosts had arranged a great programme.
6
We learned how cheese is produced in the region and had the chance to taste the products.
7
The theme park trip had to be cancelled, but we all had a great time on the final boat trip down the river.
8
That was the real highlight.
9
This is a special year for the association because it's 25 years since we were founded.
10
In Malat, they're planning to mark this by building a footbridge in the municipal park.
11
We've been discussing what to do here, and we've decided to plant a poplar tree in the museum gardens.
12
We considered buying a garden seat to put there, but the authorities weren't happy with that idea.
13
In terms of fundraising to support our activities, we've done very well.
14
Our pancake evening was well attended and made record profits.
15
And everyone enjoyed the demonstration of French cookery, which was nearly as successful.
16
Numbers for our film show were limited because of the venue, so we're looking for somewhere bigger next year.
17
We're looking forward to welcoming our French visitors here next week,
18
and I know that many of you here will be hosting individuals or families.
19
The coach from France will arrive at 5pm on Friday.
20
Don't try to do too much that first evening as they'll be tired,
21
so have dinner in the house or garden rather than eating out.
22
The weather looks as if it'll be okay, so you might like to plan a barbecue.
23
Then, the next morning's market day in town, and that's always a good place to stroll round.
24
On Saturday evening, we'll all meet up at the football club,
25
where once again we'll have Toby Sharp and his band performing English and Scottish country songs.
26
Toby will already be well known to many of you, as last year he organised our special quiz night and presented the prizes.
27
Now, on Sunday, we'll be taking our visitors to Farley House.
28
You may not all be familiar with it, so here's a map to help you.
29
You can see the car park at the bottom of the map.
30
There's an excellent farm shop in the grounds where our visitors can buy local produce.
31
It's in the old stables, which is the first building you come to.
32
They're built round a courtyard and the shop's in the far corner on the left.
33
There's also a small cafe on the right as you go in.
34
I know that one or two of our visitors may not be all that mobile.
35
The main entrance to the house has a lot of steps, so you might want to use the disabled entry.
36
This is on the far side of the house from the car park.
37
Children will probably be most interested in the adventure playground.
38
That's at the northern end of the larger lake, in a bend on the path that leads to the lake.
39
There's lots for children to do there.
40
There are a number of lovely gardens near the house.
41
The kitchen gardens are rectangular and surrounded by a wall.
42
They're to the northeast of the house, quite near the smaller lake.
43
They're still in use and have a great collection of fruit and vegetables.
44
The Temple of the Four Winds is a bit more of a walk, but it's worth it.
45
Take the path from the car park and go past the western sides of the stables and the house.
46
Then, when the path forks, take the right hand path.
47
Go up there with the woods on your left and the temple is right at the end.
48
There are great views over the whole area.
49
OK, so that's...

¿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.
