165
I hardly ever see them during the week.

Why don't you take a day off this weekend?
167
I have to finish my presentation by Monday.

My boss wants to see it first thing in the morning.

If I were you, I'd try to finish it today so you could relax tomorrow.
171
That's a good idea.
172
I wish I were better at organizing my time.
173
Well, you could make a list of everything you need to do and decide what's most important.

You're right!
175
I should try that.
176
I also wish I had more energy after work.
177

178
I wish I didn't have to work such long hours either.
179
Maybe we both meet a vacation.
180

181
Neither do I.
182
So do I.
183
What do you usually do in your free time, David?
184

203
Neither do I.
204
Simple recipes are usually my favorite.
205
Well, we seem to have a lot in common.
206

That sounds like a great idea.
209
Mustn't versus don't have to.

216
I have to wear formal clothes, but I can choose what I want to wear.
217
That's nice.
218
At least you don't have to wear the same thing every day.
219
Exactly.
220
But my manager said I mustn't wear jeans or sneakers at work. That makes sense.
221
Hotels usually have a dress code.
222
Do you have to wear a tie, too?
223
No, I don't have to wear a tie unless I'm attending an important meeting.
224
Great!
225
So you can wear a shirt and dress pants most days.
226
Yes, but I'm not sure what colors are appropriate.
227
You can't go wrong with white, blue, or gray.
228
And you mustn't wear anything too flashy.
229
Good advice!
230
I also need to buy some comfortable shoes because I'll be standing for hours.
231
Definitely!
232
You don't have to spend a fortune though.
233
You can find good shoes at reasonable prices.
234
I hope so.
235
Well, you mustn't forget to keep the receipts in case you need to return anything.
236
You're right!
237
Thanks for your help!
238
Do you want to come shopping with me tomorrow?
239
Sure!
240
I don't have to work tomorrow, so I'm free all day.

¿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.
