1
Oh, hi, honey.
2
You finished work early today.
3
Yeah, my secretary helped me a lot.
4
Well, I'm sure you were very busy.
5
No, I wasn't very busy.
6
My secretary was much busier than I was.
7
I hope she wasn't too busy.
8
She typed all the letters,
9
phoned all the clients, and she completed all of the reports.
10
And what about you?
11
I'm sure you worked at something.
12
No, mostly.
13
I just watched my secretary work all day.
14
John, where were you?
15
It's so late.
16
I'm sorry.
17
I missed the bus.
18
I cooked all your favorite foods for dinner,
19
and I waited for two hours.
20
I know.
21
I'm sorry.
22
I walked from my office all the way here.
23
I was so worried about you.
24
I tried to call here,
25
but nobody answered the phone.
26
Oh, sorry.
27
I was in the shower.
28
Hi, Tom.
29
Hi, Susan.
30
Come in.
31
Was there a lot of traffic?
32
No, there wasn't, but it started to rain about ten minutes ago.
33
Well, I'm happy you're here.
34
I fixed lots of delicious food.
35
We're happy you invited us for dinner.
36
My pleasure.
37
But I burned the chicken.
38
I smelled it when we walked in.
39
Tom, don't complain.
40
It was very nice of her to invite us for dinner.
41
Great game.
42
You played really well today.
43
Thanks.
44
I'm surprised I scored that many points.
45
Were you on the tennis team at your university?
46
No, I wasn't.
47
I wanted to play, but I was too busy with my studies.
48
Well, you moved really fast on the court today.
49
You weren't so bad yourself.
50
Okay, bye.
51
Congratulations, Tom.
52
I hear you opened your own business.
53
Was it difficult?
54
Yes, it was.
55
I saved my money for five years and invested it all.
56
It looks like you succeeded.
57
I always believed you could do it.
58
That's so nice of you to say.
59
Hey, I hear you moved to this part of town.
60
Yes, and the last time we talked,
61
I asked you for a job.
62
Are you still interested?
63
I sure am.
64
Well, welcome to the company.
65
Mark, why were you so quiet in the meeting?
66
I wasn't in a very good mood this morning.
67
Why?
68
What happened?
69
The bank called me this morning and told me they blocked my credit card.
70
What?
71
Were you deep in debt with them?
72
No, I wasn't.
73
The manager said they accidentally billed me twice for the same month.
74
Was he impolite to you?
75
No, he wasn't.
76
He was very nice.
77
But they corrected the problem, right?
78
Yes, finally.
79
They blamed it on a computer error.
80
Hurry up!
81
All of the other passengers have boarded the plane already.
82
I can't find the tickets.
83
Or I think maybe I packed them in the blue suitcase.
84
You mean the suitcase that we checked in at the counter?
85
I'm sure they weren't in that one.
86
Wait a minute.
87
Were they in this carry-on?
88
Yes, they were.
89
I hope you still have them.
90
Here they are.
91
They were pushed down to the bottom.
92
Great.
93
Come on, let's go.
94
Jill, I loved the cookies you baked.
95
Thanks.
96
I wasn't sure if anybody liked them.
97
What do you mean?
98
They were delicious.
99
I added extra chocolate chips.
100
Everybody liked them.
101
Were they difficult to make?
102
No, they weren't.
103
It was an old recipe from my grandmother.
104
Hey.
105
What was wrong with Bill yesterday?
106
He acted so strangely all day.
107
Oh, his boss was angry at him.
108
Why?
109
A customer contacted Bill's boss and complained about Bill.
110
Really?
111
Was it about something important?
112
No, it wasn't important important.
113
Was the problem cleared up?
114
Yes, it was.
115
Bill apologized and the customer calmed down.
116
What happened to you?
117
I crashed my car into a tree.
118
Oh, were you hurt badly?
119
No, What happened to you?

No, it wasn't.
126
There was a problem with the tires on my car.
127
Well, I hope you claimed it with your insurance company.

Yes, I did.
129
They accepted all of the responsibility.
130
Ow!
131
What happened to you?
132
I crashed my car into a tree.
133
Oh.
134
Were you hurt badly?

144
Did I tell you what I did yesterday?
145
No, you didn't.
146
What did you do yesterday?
147
I had lunch at a new restaurant.
148
How was it?
149
I never found out.
150
What do you mean you never found out?
151
Well, I ordered my food.
152
And then?
153
And then I remembered I forgot my money.
154
No way!
155
So what did you do?
156
I told the waitress to cancel my order.
157
Was she angry?
158
Not at all.
159
In fact, she offered to buy me lunch.
160
That's nice.
161
You accepted her offer?
162
No. I felt embarrassed so I left.
163
John, wake up.
164
I thought I heard a sound.
165
Did you bring the cat in the house last night?
166
No, I didn't.
167
I told you, I put the cat outside.
168
Did you put the dog out too?
169
Yes, I did.
170
Honey, I didn't sleep very much last night.
171
I'm very tired.
172
Did we lock all the doors?
173
Yes, we did.
174
They were all locked before I came upstairs to bed.
175
Maybe the wind blew a window open.
176
Maybe it did.
177
I will go and check.
178
Good idea.
179
Good luck.
180
Good night.
181
Police department, how can I help you?

He ate cookies and drank a glass of milk, too.

But it's a good thing he did.

Because he gave us a great set of fingerprints.

I wrote a list of everything that he took.

Why did he cry?
222
What did the thief take?
223
He took that beautiful painting that John hung on the wall in the living room.

I came to tell you that one of your neighbors saw the thief.
233
Oh, that's great!
234
Did you catch him?
235
We're not sure, but we did bring a man to the jail.

My wife, Cathy, just got home from shopping.

She can go with you to see if that's the man man.

¿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.
