159
Let's plan to meet up on Saturday and explore some new art.
160
Family!
161
Who do you look like in your family?
162
I look like my mom in appearance.
163
We both have the same nose, hair, and brown eyes.
164
But I'm like my dad in character.
165
He's very funny and outgoing, just like me.
166
We both love to make people laugh with funny jokes.
167
I also share his love for basketball,
168
and we're both smart and hardworking.
169
That's amazing.
170
I look like my grandmother in appearance.
171

Hey, how's it going?
185
How's it going?
186
Not great.
187
I'm feeling really tired and sluggish.
188
I also have back and neck pains all the time.
189
Why's that?
190
I've worked very much lately,
191
and I've been pretty sedentary over the past two years.
192
I spend most of my day sitting down.
193
I work at a desk job,
194
and when I get home,
195
I watch TV or play video games.
196
Well, I jog every day,
197
and it really helps me feel energized.
198
I love being active and doing outdoor activities.
199
I wish I had the energy to do it too, but I don't.
200
Once you begin working out,
201
you'll see that the extra activity boosts your energy levels.
202
A sedentary lifestyle can increase the risk of heart disease,
203
diabetes, and other health problems.
204
That's really scary.
205
Yeah, it is.
206
But the good news is that you can change your lifestyle.
207
There are many small changes you can make,
208
like taking breaks to walk around,
209
or doing some stretching during the day while you are working,
210
ideally every 20 minutes to half an hour.
211
Even small changes like these can make a big difference in your health.
212
Exercise is crucial when you sit for 8 to 12 hours a day.
213
That's a good idea.
214
I'll try to do that.
215
And instead of spending all your time looking at screens,
216
you could try doing something more active.
217
Like running, dancing, or going for a bike ride. That sounds like fun.
218
I'll definitely try to do that too.
219
That's great to hear.
220
Your body will thank you for it.
221
Clothes and style.
222
Hey, Luke.
223
I can't decide what to wear to the party tonight.
224
I need something to make me feel confident.
225
Will you help me find an outfit?
226
You have an eye for fashion.
227
Sure, I'll help you.
228
What do you think of this dress?
229
Hmm, it's not really your style,
230
and it's not on trend anymore.
231
What about that blue midi dress you have?
232
The one with braces?
233
No way.
234
I wore that last time.
235
What about this black skirt with peplum and this white top?
236
It's cute, but it's not really party material.
237
It's too formal.
238
How about that red dress you wore to your graduation party?
239
No, it's too fancy for this party.
240
What else do you suggest?
241
Well, you could wear some leather pants with a crop top and heels.
242
That would look hot.
243
Ew, no way.
244
That's not my style at all.
245
Okay.
246
How about that lace cocktail dress that you bought online?
247
It's beautiful and very flattering.
248
That would definitely turn heads.
249
Yes, that's perfect.
250
I forgot I had that.
251
Thanks for your help, Luke.
252
No problem, sis.
253
Just doing my brotherly duty.
254
Now all I have to think about is what shoes to wear.
255
Money Hey, do you ever think about how much money you spend each month?
256
Definitely.
257
I have to keep track of my expenses to make sure I don't overspend.
258
What kind of expenses do you have each month?
259
I have to pay for my phone bill,
260
dorm, laundry, food, bus pass,
261
school supplies, and personal items.
262
Wow, that's a lot of expenses.
263
How much do you spend each month?
264
I spend around $500 each month.
265
That's a lot of money.
266
What's your monthly phone bill normally?
267
Normally, my phone bill is about $45.
268
How much do you usually spend on lunch?
269

275
On the weekends, I usually spend maybe $25.
276
Do you have a credit card?
277
Yes, I do. Do you ever gamble?
278
No, I never gamble.
279
How much money do you have left over each month after paying all your bills?
280
And what do you do with it?
281
After I pay my bills, I have $10 to $25 left.
282
I usually buy some books with that money.
283
Have you thought about traveling anywhere lately?
284
Yes, I have.
285
I'd love to travel to South Korea.
286
Have you ever been there?
287
No, I haven't.
288
Why South Korea?
289
Well, South Korea has a fascinating culture,
290
delicious food, and breathtaking nature.
291
It's also home to some of the most advanced technology in the world. That sounds amazing.
292
South Korea is also known for its K-pop music and entertainment industry,
293
which has a global following.
294
Plus, the country has a rich history and traditions that are worth exploring.
295
That's interesting.
296
I've always wanted to go to Australia.
297
Have you been there?
298
Yes, I have.
299
Australia has some of the most beautiful beaches,

vibrant cities, and unique wildlife in the world.

¿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.
