Attention passengers, look, I know we've been stuck here for nearly two hours

14
Okay, I need to fix the train with a sandwich now.
15
Okay, see ya.
16
Bye-bye, passengers.
17
I should not have said that.
18
I was panicking and I wasn't thinking straight.
19
And I guess I just said sandwich because I didn't know what else to say.
20
And now I have to fix the train with the sandwich.
21
Because that's what I promised my passengers to do.
22
Oh, my God.
23
The driver has officially lost his mind.
24
How on earth will he fix the train with a sandwich?
25
How enough am I going to fix the train with the sandwich?
26
Oh.
27
I may as well change my address to courage B at this point.
28
Jeez, Louise.
29
Oh, you came out of nowhere.
30
Look where you're going.
31
Sorry, sorry, sorry, I just...
32
Are you actually going to fix the train with a sandwich?
33
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll be quick, I'll be quick, I promise.
34
Okay, how do you fix a train with a sandwich?
35
Foo!
36
Use dry sand only.
37
Well, I mean, my sandwich is pretty dry.
38
And it does really taste like sand.
39
Is he really trying to fix a train with a sandwich? with a little son.
40
I wonder if I should just...
41
Oh my God, I'm a genius.
42
Oh my god, I'm a genius.
43
Let's go.
44
Let's go, baby.
45
This is the best day ever.
46
Guys, I have fixed the train with a meal deal sandwich.
47
Thank me later, guys.
48
Thank me later.
49
You know what?
50
I deserve a pay rise.
51
Actually, I deserve to be the CEO of all...
52
No way did he just...
53
Oh.
54
My.
55
God.
56
I am a geni- Oh, come on!
57
Shut up!
58
Did the engine just really fail on me again?
59
I really thought we had it for a second there.
60
Though I guess it did work for a bit.
61
A singular sandwich got me this far.
62
So maybe I just need more sandwiches.
63
Thanks to that sandwich, we were able to travel around 40 meters.
64
My destination is around 23.7 miles away from here.
65
So if one meal deal sandwich got me 40 meters, Then I need to approximately...
66
Okay, guys, don't worry.
67
I have a solution.
68
Attention passengers, look.
69
The bad news is that our train is once again broken.
70
But don't worry.
71
We only need 1,050 free sandwiches in order for us to reach our destination.
72
So I'll quickly run off this train, get 1,050 free meal deals, and I'll get this train up and moving again.
73
I'll be as quick as I can.
74
May have you officially lost it?
75
I think you need to go to the hospital, because no way are you gonna buy 1,053 sunroaches to fix a train.
76
Do you hear yourself?
77
Cheers for your patience, guys!
78
Wait, do not close that door on me.
79
I am still talking to you.
80
That is severe...
81
I should probably start running.
82
Hey, uh, excuse me.
83
Excuse me, sir.
84
Sir.
85
Did you call me?
86
Yeah, when's the next train?
87
Oh, it's a bit broken right now, but I'm going to fix you with some sandwiches, so it won't be long.
88
Yeah, I think I'll just take the bus.
89
Thanks though.
90
No problem, no problem.
91
There's something I quickly realized about obtaining 1050 free sandwiches.
92
You see, if I went to the local Tesco and decided to buy 1050 free sandwiches there, that wouldn't necessarily work.
93
They'd start being suspicious start asking questions on why I require 1050 free sandwiches they'd even get the authorities involved
94
It seems like obtaining that many sandwiches is way easier said than done Nah, I got to find a different way to obtain my sandwiches,
95
but don't worry I've thought of a solution eventually But for my idea to work I have to go far.
96
I have to go to places.
97
I haven't seen for decades I have to go visit the
98
only guy I know in the entire world who would be able to reliably give me
99
1053 meal deals in order for me to fix my own train
100
His name is John
101
and though he may be far away though This journey may
102
cost way more than it may be worth it I know deep down in my heart
103
that my passengers five years from now will look back at this very memory
104
and think to themselves damn that driver was amazing
105
I'm finally here according to my calculations John should be on this train right now getting off any second now
106
so I just need to get right onto the other platform and meet him there.
107
God, I really need to stop talking to myself.
108
Hey, John.
109
Shhh.
110
Keep your voice down.
111
I'm here for my 1053 sandwiches I ordered.
112

113

¿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.
