Creando lección...
1
Hello.
2
My name is Michaela.
3
I'm one of the nurses in A &D.
4
I believe that you've injured your leg.
5
Can you tell me what happened?
6
I was walking to my friend's house when a dog rushed up and bit my leg.
7
I was just about to open the gate to a house when the dog ran up.
8
No warning at all.
9
That must have been a shock.
10
When did the incident happen?
11
It sure was.
12
Like I said, I was just minding my own business.
13
I really wasn't doing anything at all, and it just came up.
14
Right, sorry to interrupt, but can you tell me when the incident happened?
15
Yeah, sorry.
16
It happened yesterday.
17
Early in the morning.
18
I should have come in earlier, but I thought it wasn't serious.
19
Well, you came into A &E eventually, which is good.
20
Can you tell me what the bite looks like?
21
It looks pretty awful.
22
It's sort of a gash on my lower leg.
23
My right leg.
24
It's really deep, it's still bleeding a bit and it's a bit of a mess.
25
Okay, I'll take a look at it for you.
26
I'll explain what I'm going to do with the wound now.
27
The first thing I'll do is to clean the wound well. With antiseptic?
28
No, that's not necessary.
29
What is important is to make sure any dirt is removed from the wound.
30
Okay, that makes sense.
31
You'll be pleased to know that the wound probably won't need any stitches.
32
Really?
33
I don't understand why I don't need stitches.
34
These days it's more common not to stitch dog bites if they're more than a day old.
35
It's thought to be better to let certain wounds heal without being stitched.
36
For example, old wounds, deep wounds or infected wounds.
37
Right, well I didn't know that.
38
And after I've cleaned it well, I'll put on our clean, dry dressing.
39
All right.
40
I see.
41
Is there anything else I have to do?
42
Like at home?
43
There are a couple of things you should do when you go home.
44
You need to do the dressing every two days.
45
I'll give you some dressings to take home.
46
Okay.
47
I should be able to do that.
48
Try not to get the dressing wet when you have a shower.
49
One way you keep the dressing dry is to cover it with a plastic bag before you get in the shower.
50
It's very important that the dressing stays dry to prevent bacteria growing in the wound.
51
Okay.
52
I understand.
53
I should be able to manage all that.
54
Can you tell me when you had your last tetanus jab?
55
Oh.
56
It must have been around 12 years ago.
57
I see.
58
That was quite a while ago.
59
You'll have to have a tetanus jab now.
60
Oh, look.
61
I really don't want an injection.
62
I hate them.
63
And, it's only a dog bite.
64
Aren't they quite clean?
65
Unfortunately, that's not true.
66
Dog bites are actually very dirty.
67
It's important that you protect yourself against tetanus.
68
Are you sure it's necessary?
69
Can't I wait and see if I develop any symptoms?
70
Then I'll have the shot.
71
I can understand that you don't want an injection if it's not necessary, but it really isn't advisable not to have a tetanus shot after a dog bite.
72
It really is very important that you protect yourself against tetanus.
73
It can be a serious disease.
74
I suppose you're right.
75
Okay, I guess I should have the injection.
76
I'll try to be brave if it's so important.

¿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.
