1
Hello there, it must be Mr Clark, is that right?
2
That's right, yeah.
3
Okay, I'm Dr Baker, what can I do for you?
4
Right, well it's not for me, it's about Martin here, I'm quite worried about him.
5
He's had a stomach ache for the last, or been complaining of stomach ache for the last fortnight now.
6
Are you worried about exactly what?
7
Well, there might be something a bit more serious and just, you know, an ordinary sort of tummy ache.
8
I mean, it's been going on for, as I say, two weeks every morning, you know, before school.
9
He's been complaining, it hurts.
10
So how bad is it?
11
Well, he's been off school.
12
Okay, but I mean, is this a constant pain or is it a sort of spasmodic type pain?
13
What do you mean spasmodic?
14
Well, you know, does it come and go?
15
Well, it comes on in the morning, it's just gone by late afternoon.
16
Right.
17
Okay, and what about sort of opening his bowels?
18
How's he on the toilet?
19
When did you last have a poo mate?
20
A couple of days ago.
21
A couple of days ago.
22
Okay, and what was that like? Was it normal?
23
Yeah.
24
Yeah, it was normal.
25
Okay.
26
Does it hurt to open the bowels?
27
No. No?
28
No. No. All right, do you think he's been constipated though?
29
No, no. It sounds very much like that.
30
No, he eats plenty of fruit and vegetables.
31
That's supposed to be good for you, isn't it?
32
I mean...
33
Yeah, I mean, how much roughage is he getting?
34
What do you mean roughage?
35
He gets plenty, I mean, as I told you, he's plenty of fruit and vegetables, he's getting everything he needs.
36
Okay, so you think he has enough fiber?
37
It sounds like you accuse me of not doing my job properly.
38
No, I'm just checking that he's got enough fiber in, because you know what kids are like, they sort of chips and burgers.
39
Well, no, not in our house, no, no, it's not like that.
40
OK, well, I mean, it sounds like the thing we need to do next, really, is to examine him.
41
So perhaps if we can pop over to the couch, I can examine his abdomen, and we can take things from there.
42
OK, so shall we go over to the couch and do that then?
43
OK, go on.
44
OK.
45
OK, well, I examined Martin there and couldn't find anything to worry about at all.
46
So, as I said before, I think the most likely thing is that this is constipation.
47
And I know you said you've given him plenty of...
48
He's eaten all the right sort of things.
49
Fine.
50
I'm going to continue with that, but perhaps I can give you some medicine as well to help things along.
51
OK, if that's what you want to do.
52
I don't see the point, but if you think that's the best thing to do, then we'll do that.
53
I think we can treat with that and see if it helps and I think that would be the central way forward.
54
It's quite simple, it's something called Latchelose, it's a syrup and it's just a spoonful once in the morning and once in the evening.
55
I can organise a prescription that you can pick up a bit later on
56
and then we can perhaps see Martin again in about ten days time.
57
Ten days, okay, right, ready with that?
58
Does that sound okay?
59
Well, if that's what you think some do for the best, yeah.
60
Okay, so we'll meet up again then.
61
Okay.
62
I'll see you then.
63
Cheers.
64
Thank you.

¿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.
