1
Ryan, your dad and I want you to start doing some chores.
2
But I already tidy up my room.
3
Isn't that enough?
4
You also need to do chores around the house.
5
The whole family must contribute to how the household runs.
6
When children help out, chores get done sooner.
7
This frees up time for the family to do fun things together.
8
Okay, so what exactly do I have to do?
9
Let's start with putting dirty clothes in the hamper,
10
watering the plants, and taking out the trash.
11
Okay, what else?
12
How about setting and clearing the dining room table?
13
Is that all?
14
And loading and unloading the dishwasher.
15
But I don't know how to do that.
16
I will teach you.
17
It's really easy.
18
Do I have to do all of these things every day?
19
No, I want you to share these chores with Leticia.
20
You can both decide which ones you want to do.
21
That's not fair!
22
Why isn't this fair?
23
She's going to pick the easiest ones for herself and give me the harder chores to do.
24
No, she won't.
25
I'll take care of that.
26
You don't know, Leticia.
27
If I have to share chores with my sister,
28
I'm going to be doing most of the work.
29
I'll keep an eye on her and make sure she won't cheat, I promise.
30
Okay, so let me show you how to load the dishwasher.
31
On the top rack, we must put the bowls,
32
cups, mugs, and glasses facing down so the water will drain out.
33
We need to leave space between the glasses and other items
34
because the water can cause the glasses to bang together and crack.
35
Pretty easy so far.
36
What shall we put on the bottom rack?
37
The bottom rack should be used for plates,
38
large bowls, pots, and pans.
39
What about the four spoons and knives?
40
We must put them in the cutlery basket.
41
Can I put this plate on the top rack?
42
There's no room for it on the bottom rack.
43
No, we shouldn't overload the dishwasher.
44
Why not?
45
A dishwasher is less effective if it's crammed full of stuff.
46
The dishes will not come out clean.
47
We can wash the items that are left out by hand.
48
The dishwasher is loaded now.
49
What's next?
50
Next, we put the detergent in the dishwasher.
51
We open the detergent drawer.
52
Add the tablet with the red ball facing up and close the drawer.
53
Now let's choose the Eco program and press Start.
54
Once the cycle is finished,
55
check that the detergent has done its job.
56
It's fully rinsed away and that the dishes are dry.
57
If they're still damp, let them dry for about 30 minutes before putting them away.
58
Honey, we're out of bread.
59
Could you go to the store and buy two loaves?
60
Yeah, sure, no problem.
61
And I also need some mangoes,
62
lemons, and avocados and two rolls of paper towels.
63
Do you need any help with dinner, Mom?
64
Yes.
65
Could you please make the mashed potatoes?
66
Okay.
67
Where are the potatoes?
68
The potatoes are in the cellar.
69
They are right in the middle,
70
under the cheese, and between the pumpkin and the flour sacks.
71
And how many should I peel?
72
About 20 will do.
73
Where is the peeler?
74
The peeler is in the second drawer to the right of the oven,
75
and really you could use any of the pots.
76
Is this one okay?
77
It's perfect.
78
Cover the potatoes with water and add a generous pinch of salt.
79
Bring them to a boil and cook for 30 minutes.
80
What are you making there?
81
turkey meatballs.
82
Wow, I love them!
83
Please show me how to cook them.
84
In a large bowl, combine ground turkey,
85
breadcrumbs, one onion, parsley, two eggs,
86
garlic, basil, oregano, one teaspoon salt, and half teaspoon pepper.
87
Then mix well.
88
Add oil to the pan and wait a few seconds for it to heat up.
89
Shape the mixture into balls and carefully place them in the hot pan.
90
Fry the meatballs until browned on all sides.
91
That's it.
92
It's not hard at all.
93
That's right.
94
The potatoes are really soft now.
95
We must drain them and then use a potato masher to mash the potatoes.
96
Pour over some warm milk,
97
then add a little butter and sour cream.
98
Dinner is almost ready.
99
Let's set the table, Brian.
100
Okay, Dad.
101
First, let's put the plates and bowls on the table.
102
Perfect.
103
Now let's put a napkin on the table by each person's plate on the left side.
104
Next, let's bring the spoons and forks.
105
We're going to place the fork to the left of the plate.
106
Is it okay if I put it on top of the napkin?
107
Better put it next to it.
108
The knife will be directly to the right of the plate.
109
Next to that will be the spoon.
110
What about the dessert spoon?
111
That comes above the plate.
112
The glass should be positioned directly above the knife.
113
Put the bread plate above the fork.
114
The table is set.
115
It looks very good.
116
Let's bring the food now.
117
We have chicken soup, mashed potatoes,
118
meatballs, pickles, salad, and cherry cake.
119
Sit down, everybody.
120
Dinner's ready.
121
The first thing that we need to do is put our napkin on our lap.
122
First, let's eat the soup.
123
You need to wait to start your soup until everybody got served.
124
Bon appetit!
125
Lily, we don't pick up the bowl and slurp the soup like this.
126
You must use your spoon.
127
Hold your soup spoon like you would hold it as a pencil.
128
Does the soup have any meat in it, Mom?
129
No, Brian, it doesn't.
130
It only has vegetables and noodles.
131
Letitia, pass the meatballs, please.
132
Here you go, Dad.
133
Thanks.
134
Brian, don't put your elbows on the table when you're eating, and sit straight.
135
That's not really great manners to have your elbows out.
136
Lily, don't chew with your mouth open.
137
Sorry, Mom.
138
Letitia, never reach across a dish or someone else's plate to reach something.
139
Instead, politely ask the person sitting next to you to please pass me the salt.
140
Please pass me the salt, Brian.
141
Here you go.
142
Thanks.
143
Brian, can you hand me the pickles?
144
Here.
145
Can I have some more potatoes, Mom?
146
Sure, honey, here you go.
147
Would you like some more meatballs, Brian?
148
No, Mom, they're delicious, but I'm full.
149
And I need to save room for dessert, too.
150
Lily, don't just get up and leave.
151
It's not polite.
152
Always ask to be excused when finished.
153
Let's clear the table now.
154
Have you taken my book,
155
Prehistoric and Ancient Civilizations, Leticia?
156
No, I haven't.
157
What should I do with such a book?
158
I don't even like history.
159
I can't find it anywhere.
160
It's a book that I borrowed from the library today.
161
I think I've lost it.
162
Maybe you left it at school.
163
No, it's not there because I went to the library after classes.
164
Oh, it really bugs me when I lose things.
165
Have you looked into your room?
166
I've looked everywhere.
167
It's not here.
168
I must have dropped it somewhere,
169
but I can't figure out where.
170
Don't panic.
171
It's bound to be around here somewhere.
172
It's not.
173
I think it's lost for good,
174
and it's such an important book.
175
I needed it for my history project.
176
Oh, chill out, Brian.
177
Let's just try and work out where you left it.
178
Let's see, where did you go from the library?
179
Well, I popped into a cafe to buy some cookies.
180
Then I went directly to the bus station.
181
Did you take your book out of your backpack on the bus?
182
Yes, I did.
183
I browsed it for a few minutes,
184
then I put it back and prepared to get off the bus.
185
Oh, I remember that right before getting off,
186
I stumbled and almost fell down the stairs but luckily I landed on my feet.
187
Then I came straight home,
188
and when I wanted to take the book out of my backpack and read it,
189
it wasn't there any longer.
190
It just disappeared.
191
Then it must have fallen out of your backpack when you stumbled in the bus.
192
Maybe you forgot to zip up your backpack?
193
I think you're right.
194
It makes sense.
195
Let's tell Mom about this and see what needs to be done in this case.
196
Well, don't worry.
197
I'm going to call the bus depot and ask them if the bus driver left the book there by any chance.
198
Good news!
199
The bus driver found your book and will return it to you in the morning.
200
Yippee!
201
Hi, I'm home.
202
Have you had a good day?
203
No, not really.
204
Actually, it's been a bit of a nightmare.
205
Oh dear.
206
What's happened?
207
Well, first, I waited in all morning for the new TV to be delivered.
208
But they never showed up.
209
Oh, I don't believe it.
210
Hadn't they promised to be here today?
211
Yeah, but I'm not surprised, to be honest.
212
They didn't show up last week, either.
213
I was pretty angry, though.
214
I bet you were.
215
Anyway, I called them, and they said that they'd definitely be here next Monday.
216
Next Monday?
217
They are really shameless.
218
That's the earliest they could do, they said.
219
I told them if they didn't show up next time,
220
I'd cancel the order.
221
Quite right, too.
222
That TV costs a fortune.
223
And then my laptop crashed while I was on the internet.
224
I couldn't work anymore.
225
I think it's got a virus.
226
Didn't you install that antivirus software?
227
I forgot to do it.
228
No wonder you've got a virus.
229
I'll have a look at it later, if you like.
230
Then Brian's teacher called me and said he was caught fighting during the break.
231
Fighting?
232
That has never happened before.
233
I wonder what got into him.
234
He said that the other boy started it.
235
Don't worry.
236
We'll work it out.
237
I'll go and talk to him in a bit.
238
Is there anything to eat?
239
I'm starving.
240
Dinner's in the oven.
241
So, how was your day?
242
Well, I had quite a good day, actually.
243
At least one of us had a good 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.
