6
A wicked eye in the air!
7
Great space!
8
Thunder, thunder, thunderation, We're the Merry Pitford delegation.
9
When we fight with determination, We create a great sensation!
10
Woo!
11
All right!
12
Whoo!
13
Ugh.
14
Yet another example of her pathetic, unrelenting need for attention.
15
Hope she does the splits again.
16
Hey!
17
Ouch!
18
Look out!
19
I hated when she does that.
20
I just heard the best news.
21
What?
22
More than anything in the world, what concert are you dying to see?
23
No. Yes.
24
Not Vice Grip.
25
Next month, our city, our concert.
26
I hate it when they do that.
27
Oh, my God.
28
Oh, my God.
29
Oh, my God.
30
Do you believe it?
31
This is amazing.
32
Tickets go on sale Saturday.
33
We have to be the first in line.
34
We'll get front row seats.
35
It'll be the greatest.
36
Imagine, you and me and the four hottest guys in the universe.
37
Unreal.
38
We're sitting so close, I can see the sweat pouring off lead singer Jason Devine.
39
Wait, I know.
40
After the show, they're like, why don't you come and meet us backstage?
41
Then we all hop in their car and cruise to a totally cool club.
42
You know we're gonna be there.
43
There was no doubt about it.
44
That day felt like the official beginning of everything.
45
All the good parts about being a teenager were finally starting to happen.
46
What did you just say, Sharon?
47
I said it's going to be the best concert ever, so I totally, totally have to go.
48
Hey, Mom, can you drive me to wrestling practice?
49
Do you mind?
50
I'm talking about something important.
51
What could be more important than perfecting my headlock?
52
Oh, no. Look at the time.
53
We've got to fly, Josh.
54
You'll be late for your lesson.
55
But I'm not finished.
56
There's just a few details we have to go over.
57
Go and get your music.
58
Sharon, honey, this isn't a good time.
59
Adam, if you want a ride, I'm leaving now.
60
Come on, Josh.
61
I'm coming, I'm coming.
62
Jeez, you're giving me indigestion.
63
Does that mean I can go?
64
We'll talk about it tonight.
65
Oh, and I'd appreciate it if you'd do the dishes.
66
Thanks, Brout.
67
Ugh.
68
Gross.
69
Mom?
70
Finished your homework?
71
Yes.
72
Okay.
73
Better get to bed then.
74
It's getting late.
75
Hey, I haven't had one of those for a while.
76
About the concert.
77
What concert?
78
I told you all about it at dinner.
79
Don't you remember?
80
Sorry, honey.
81
I was distracted.
82
Mom, it's really important.
83
Oh, yes.
84
The band you like.
85
The boys with all the tattoos and body piercings.
86
It's okay if I go, right?
87
Aren't they the ones who jump into the audience?
88
Yeah, but it's just for fun.
89
Anyway, Maria's asking her parents, too.
90
We're gonna bring our sleeping bags and camp out overnight at the ticket booth so we can get front row seats and...
91
Whoa!
92
Wait a minute.
93
Back up.
94
There is no way you're lining up overnight to get tickets.
95
What?
96
It's out of the question.
97
You're too young.
98
Mom, I am not a baby.
99
Of course you're not, but that whole concert culture, you're just not ready for it.
100
Believe me.
101
Are you saying I can't even go to the concert?
102
That's what I'm saying.
103
I take back that kiss.
104
How unfair can you get?
105
Too young!
106
Can you believe it?
107
Definitely overprotective.
108
Now I'll never see Jason Devine up close.
109
And what's worse, he'll be making gaga eyes at some other girl, sitting in my seat.
110
Extreme bummer.
111
All because of my prison guard mother.
112
Parents.
113
Can't live with them, can't pay for the cell phone without them.
114
Face it, my life is over.
115
Really, Sharon?
116
Don't frown so much, you'll get more wrinkles.
117
The bubonic plague followed trade routes from the east, arriving in Europe in 1348.
118
It appears the plague was passed on through infected rodent feces, much the same way E coli bacteria gets into hamburgers.
119
Rat poo?
120
E coli?
121
Gross.
122
Once afflicted, the only thing a person had to look forward to was a slow, painful death.
123
Mr. Beardsley, um, I don't feel well.
124
High fever and aching limbs was soon followed by oozing pus-filled boils.
125
Excuse me, Mr. Beardsley?
126
Man, oh man...
127
Uh...
128
What are you staring at, you little puke?
129
Oh my god, look at your face!
130
What?
131
What's the matter with my...
132
AAAAAAAH!
133
AHHHHHHHHH!
134
HELP!
135
It's the plague!
136
I've got the plague!
137
The plague passed!
138
Run!
139
Run!
140
Run!
141
Sit down!
142
Right now!
143
Do you hear me?
144
Help!
145
I'm going to die!
146
Oh, no. I think I'm going to...
147
It's the plague!
148
Help!
149
It's the plague!
150
The plague!
151
Run!
152
Run!
153
Run!
154
It's the plague!
155
Psst!
156
Alden, over here.
157
Nina?
158
Oh, Alden, something terrible is happening.
159
Save yourself while there's still time.
160
It's too late for me.
161
Uh, Nina?
162
Figures she'd use this to get in with him.
163
You don't think he buys the plague bit, do ya?
164
Of course not.
165
What's with her?
166
Nothing!
167
Maybe it's smallpox.
168
What day to care for that?
169
I'm doomed.
170
Doomed.
171
Hey, I have your attention.
172
Please, boys and girls, free CDs to anyone who's quiet.
173
Yeah, just kidding.
174
Now down to business.
175
It appears a highly contagious rash is spreading through the school.
176
It is in no way life-threatening.
177
There is no killer virus.
178
I repeat, no killer virus.
179
We've all had a nasty scare today.
180
In order to help us deal with this crisis, I've asked someone to speak with us.
181
She's a psychologist who specializes in trauma counseling.
182
Please welcome Dr. Spitz.
183
Excuse me?
184
Good afternoon.
185
Some of you may know me as Sharon's mom.
186
Hi, Sharon.
187
How embarrassing is this?
188
But today I'm here in a professional capacity.
189
My job is to give you all an opportunity to talk about what happened.
190
Does anyone have any special concerns?
191
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Dr. Spitz!
192
Yes?
193
Do you think I can hide these ugly blotches with my regular cover-up?
194
Or should I buy a thicker concealer?
195
Well, now, that's an interesting question.
196
Of all the psychologists in the world, why'd they have to pick her?
197
Actually, your mom seemed pretty clued in.
198
She could have her own talk show, like Oprah.
199
Sure, she's the perfect mother to every teenager except me.
200
There you are, Sharon.
201
Oh, hi, Dr. Spitz.
202
You were awesome.
203
Thanks, Maria.
204
Gotta fly.
205
See you later.
206
Call me.
207
I thought we might walk home together, if that's okay.
208
I guess.
209
Dr. Spitz!
210
Dr. Spitz, wait!
211
Quick, duck in here.
212
Can I talk to you privately?
213
I suppose so.
214
Sure.
215
Do you mind waiting over there?
216
We'll just be a sec.
217
Who did Nina think she was anyway, muscling me out of the way?
218
There she was, whispering to my mom like she was her best friend or something.
219
Was she asking her about more personal hygiene products?
220
Or how to cultivate an even more annoying personality?
221
Thanks, Dr. Spence.
222
See you Thursday.
223
What was that all about?
224
Oh, Nina's gonna come and see me for private sessions.
225
Somebody please tell me this wasn't happening.
226
My archenemy was seeking out my mother to solve her dumb problems, and at the same time, that very same mother was ruining my life.
227
What was wrong with this picture?
228
Nice moves.
229
Ever heard of knocking?
230
Personally, I find vice grip too juvenile.
231
I mean, pink hair?
232
Please.
233
I don't think I heard anyone ask for your opinion. In fact...
234
You're here, Nina.
235
Good.
236
Come on in.
237
Hi, Dr. Spitz.
238
Thanks again for fitting me in.
239
I know how busy you are.
240
Oh, my, yes.
241
Well, then, right this way.
242
Little miss suck-up.
243
What's she doing here anyway?
244
I don't know.
245
Probably trying to get advice on how to wrap more grown-ups around her finger.
246
Yeah, or how to get Alden to like her.
247
Alden?
248
You think my mom's giving her tips on how to get Alden?
249
She wouldn't, would she?
250
They're probably having a heart-to-heart right now.
251
Oh, Sharon, this could be bad.
252
I have to get to the bottom of this.
253
I know they envy me.
254
She's so lucky, they think.
255
Head cheerleader, A student.
256
But hey, I can't help it if I'm better than they are.
257
Truth is, they work at it.
258
They think it's easy being me.
259
They have no idea of the pressure.
260
Sounds like being popular is important to you.
261
It's the burden I must suffer.
262
Before the whole rash escapade, I took my natural good looks for granted.
263
That's when it hit me!
264
What if I wasn't the most popular girl at Mary Pickford Junior High?
265
What if I was just an ordinary girl with splotches on her face?
266
Do you need something, Sharon?
267
I...
268
Just wanted to tell you, I'll make dinner.
269
How thoughtful.
270
There's these people.
271
They drill holes in their skulls.
272
Say it makes them smarter because more oxygen gets to their brain.
273
I saw it on TV.
274
I remember that.
275
Blood was gushing everywhere.
276
It was awesome.
277
I'm trying to eat.
278
Sharon, thank you for making dinner.
279
Mom, about the concert.
280
Oh, honey, don't start.
281
Please, I'm begging you.
282
Tickets go on sale the day after tomorrow.
283
It's my last chance.
284
Sweetie, I thought we discussed this already.
285
I'm not comfortable with you going to this concert.
286
But everybody's going.
287
Everybody is not.
288
Nina Harper isn't.
289
So is that what you're doing in those sessions?
290
Comparing me to her?
291
I'm just saying, not everybody is going.
292
If you're so interested in Nina Harper, maybe you should ask her to be your daughter.
293
Sharon, for your information, Nina Harper is nothing more than a super sucky, super phony, I'm a cheerleader watching you the splits girl!
294
You know, she really ought to learn how to deal with her anger.
295
I can't believe my mother.
296
She's so...so...so doesn't get it.
297
I get it.
298
What's her problem?
299
How could she not realize how important Vice Grip is to me?
300
Huh?
301
And how could she even sit in the same room as Nina?
302
I wish that rash was the plague, and then Nina wouldn't be around to torment me.
303
But then I'd probably get it.
304
Bet my mom would be sorry then.
305
Come on, Connor.
306
You're being paranoid.
307
Let me in.
308
It's for your own good.
309
The rash isn't contagious anymore.
310
Besides, I've been around lots of people who have it.
311
Tell you what, I'll open the door a crack, but for your own sake, keep your distance.
312
It's about my mom.
313
I'm so mad at her.
314
She doesn't care about anything I care about.
315
But she has all the time in the world to listen to complete strangers, including Nina Harper.
316
You're talking about her work.
317
Why are their pathetic problems more important than mine?
318
For one good reason, they pay her.
319
But she went through childbirth with me.
320
You have a point.
321
Maybe your problems aren't big enough.
322
What do you mean?
323
Face it.
324
You're a normal kid.
325
The worst thing that's ever happened to you was getting braces.
326
No, that's just the worst thing that's happened to me this year.
327
If having bigger problems was gonna get my mom's attention, fine.
328
One thing I knew for sure, I could come up with something a lot better than Nina's all consuming popularity crisis.
329
Cool outfit.
330
Go away, Josh.
331
This is important.
332
Josh?
333
Let me guess, theater arts project, right?
334
Nice to see you two working together for a change.
335
I'll be in my office if you need me.
336
Ah!
337
Urgh!
338
Uhhhhhh...
339
Umm...
340
Ba-ba-meh...
341
Na-kong-pai-ha-o-ya...
342
Now I get it.
343
You're doing a scene from Hamlet, right?
344
The part where Ophelia's going mad.
345
Very believable, dear.
346
Bravo!
347
Ah!
348
Thought you said your mom wouldn't let you.
349
Let's just say I'm taking matters into my own hands.
350
So, are you coming or what?
351
This is way cool!
352
Ha ha ha!
353
Huh?
354
Hey!
355
What's that?
356
Wow, 9.30 already.
357
What are you doing?
358
Well, gotta go, you know, 10 o'clock curfew.
359
What are you talking about?
360
Aren't you staying the night with me?
361
I never said anything about staying the whole night.
362
Are you crazy?
363
My father would kill me.
364
I can't believe you.
365
What?
366
You're gonna stick it out?
367
Of course I am.
368
I thought that was the plan.
369
So we can get front row seats when the box office opens in the morning.
370
Yeah, but I guess I never believed we'd really do it.
371
Fine.
372
Do what you have to do.
373
But I'm not leaving.
374
Sharon Esther Spitz.
375
I was worried sick.
376
How could you?
377
After I explicitly said no. Oh, no. What?
378
I said I don't know why I did it.
379
Maybe we should make an appointment and discuss it, Dr. Spitz.
380
Since when do we need an appointment to talk to each other?
381
Forget it.
382
Does this have something to do with my seeing Nina Harper?
383
Seems to me when people come to your office, you listen to them.
384
But I just get treated like a kid.
385
Because I wouldn't let you go to the concert.
386
I was perfectly fine out there.
387
Nothing would have happened to me.
388
You weren't scared all by yourself?
389
No. Not even a teensy-weensy bit?
390
Well, maybe just a little.
391
And maybe I was being a teensy-weensy bit overprotective.
392
I mean, for the most part, you are pretty responsible. At least you were.
393
I'm sorry, Mom.
394
Me too.
395
And I promise we'll start spending more time together.
396
And we did, because for the next two weeks, I was grounded grounded.
397
Nina's rash cleared up, and with it, so did all her problems.
398
Which was good news, actually.
399
She got her peaches and cream complexion back, and I didn't have to put up with her around the house.
400
Do you know what day it is today?
401
The last day of my sentence.
402
That's right.
403
You're no longer grounded.
404
And to celebrate, I got you a little present.
405
Open it.
406
Oh, yeah!
407
Woo-hoo!
408
This is the ultimate, coolest present you've ever given me!
409
I can't believe it!
410
You're the best!
411
True, they weren't front row seats.
412
And Maria finally ended up getting that rash plague thing and couldn't even come.
413
But I guess I got almost everything I wanted from my mom.
414
Just not exactly the way I imagined.

- Los sonidos de “th”: pathetic /pəˈθɛtɪk/, thunder /ˈθʌndɚ/, childbirth /ˈt͡ʃaɪldˌbɝθ/, thoughtful /ˈθɔːtfəl/, threaten /ˈθɹɛt.n̩/
- Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: rash /ɹæʃ/, complexion /kəmˈplɛkʃən/, specialize /ˈspɛʃəˌlaɪz/, sensation /sɛnˈseɪʃən/, delegation /dɛlɪˈɡeɪʃən/
- Palabras largas — cuida el acento: overprotective /ˌoʊvɚpɹəˈtɛktɪv/, psychologist /ˌsaɪˈkɑl.ə.d͡ʒɪst/, archenemy /ˌɑː(ɹ)t͡ʃˈɛn.ə.mi/, indigestion /ˌɪn.dɪˈd͡ʒɛs.t͡ʃən/, delegation /dɛlɪˈɡeɪʃən/
Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:
- s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: scare /skɛɚ/, smallpox /ˈsmɔlpɑks/, specialize /ˈspɛʃəˌlaɪz/, splotch /splɑt͡ʃ/, sweetie /ˈswi.ti/
- /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: overprotective /ˌoʊvɚpɹəˈtɛktɪv/, overnight /əʊvə(ɹ)ˈnaɪt/, believable /bɪˈliːvəbl̩/, cultivate /ˈkʌltɪveɪt/, bravo /ˈbɹɑvoʊ/
- /z/ — sonora, no /s/: specialize /ˈspɛʃəˌlaɪz/, cruise /kɹuz/

¿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.
