Exciting.

I mean, my dreams are real simple.
109
Get married, have a family, stuff like that.
110
I can't explain it.
111
I just want to know everything I can about music.
112
I'll get my degree and make something myself.
113
Well, when you become a big star and you get your first hit song, don't forget your friends here at the factory.
114
Me?
115
Forget?
116
Never.
117
I'll even send you a free copy.

131
How about it?
132
Kevin Casey, high school graduate.
133
Ah, it's too bad your mother can't see you now.
134
What's for lunch?
135
Kevin, come sit here.
136
Rebecca and I are both worried about your finals.
137
How was your exam today?
138
A breeze.

142
What about the others?
143
Science, history.
144
Dad, give me a break.
145
I'll pass them all with flying colors.
146
Oh, thanks.
147
Thanks.
148
This won't even cover my bills.
149
Your whole paycheck?
150
Yeah.
151
I lent some money to Jack.
152
You can sure kiss that money goodbye.
153
Why are you so hard on Jack?
154
You know, he's really a good guy.
155
I'm sorry, I just don't think the...
156
Let's forget it.
157
I'd like to cash this check, please.
158
Do you have an account at this bank?
159
Yes.
160
Could I see some form of identification, please?
161
Why do I always have to show Matt?
162
He's a new teller.
163
Hey, they do it for your protection.
164
Right, so we have to show our ID every single time.
165
20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200.
166
Thanks.
167
Hi, I'd like to deposit this whole check into my savings account, please.
168
Why do you live without cash?
169
I get money from the cash machine, $40 dollars at a time.
170
Oh, I can't stand you, Rebecca.
171
Don't they charge you for these cash machines?
172
Depends on what kind of account you have and whether you have enough money in it.
173
And you have that much money saved?
174
How else am I going to pay for college?
175
Save, save, save.
176
Do you know about this videotape?
177
The Boston School of Music?
178
Yeah, this is the music school that Becky wants to go to.
179
Why doesn't she study something practical like business?
180
She'll never make any money with a degree in music.
181
You never know.
182
Now, let's review and discuss the story.
183
Kevin is Rebecca's brother.
184
He's a senior in high school.
185
Kevin Casey, high school graduate.
186
Patrick Casey.
187
Is Patrick Casey Rebecca's father?
188
Yes.
189
Hi, Dad.
190
Rebecca's mother died a long time ago.
191
Rebecca meets her best friend Sandy in the factory.
192
Hey, girl, you just made it.
193
There's a big difference between those two women, Rebecca and Sandy.
194
Your dreams are so big, exciting.
195
I mean, my dreams are real simple.
196
Get married, have a family, stuff like that.
197
I just want to know everything I can about music.
198
get my degree and make something myself.
199
I don't think it's good to judge what is right, what is wrong, and it's just a personal choice.
200
And Sandy, if that's really what she wants to do and have a family settle down, that's fine.
201
You can also do both.
202
I think these days married women are not stuck just sitting home and having children.
203
I think you can have a career and do whatever you want.
204
So these two things are not really conflict with each other can have both
205
if you can manage it well in both situation you you gain something you lose something at the same time too

¿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.
