1
Right on the Magic School Bus!
2
Maybe now the engine's gonna start.
3
Oh, it should, Ralphie.
4
This heartwarming chamber is where all three ingredients we need to get the engine started come together.
5
Gas!
6
Air!
7
And what else?
8
Look out!
9
We're gonna get crushed!
10
What happened?
11
Nothing happened.
12
The engine still won't start.
13
At least we didn't get crushed.
14
Stop!
15
You're going to crush us!
16
Go away!
17
Don't drop that!
18
You'll be sorry!
19
I don't get it, Miss Frizzle.
20
We had gas.
21
We had air and the bus still didn't run.
22
Maybe the engines burned out.
23
That's it!
24
That's what's missing!
25
The engine burns gas.
26
Remember, we need to find a way to get it to burn.
27
According to my research, you have to be very careful around gasoline because it burns so easily.
28
Oh, that's right, D.A.
29
In fact, a big fire can start with just a little spark.
30
Gas, air, and a spark!
31
That's the three ingredients! Did you say spark?
32
Like a spark plug?
33
Like that thing up there?
34
What an explosive discovery, Carlos!
35
But I don't see any sparks!
36
No wonder!
37
More peanut butter!
38
Oh no!
39
We're going down again!
40
I'll get the penis butter!
41
Oh no!
42
There's more gas and air coming in!
43
Hang in there, Carlos!
44
Whoa!
45
Way to go, Carlos!
46
You cleaned off the spark plug!
47
It's a sticky job, but someone's gotta do it!
48
Hey, look at all that gas and air coming in!
49
The engine should fire up now!
50
Get ready to blow this joint!
51
Wait a minute.
52
Just how big is this fire going to be?
53
Wahoo!
54
As we travel with the burned gases,
55
let's enjoy the enchanting exhaust pipe,
56
a tunnel of exotic fumes,
57
and dark surprises that will take us into the metallic maze known as the Muffler.
58
We did it, Ms. Frizzle!
59
We got the engine running again!
60
And not a second too soon!
61
We gotta get the bus outta here!
62
Hit it, Liz!
63
The Mesmerglobber should work now!
64
I don't think I'm gonna like this!
65
Wahoo!
66
Wahoo!
67
Way to go!
68
We saved the bus!
69
We got gas to mix with air.
70
Added a spark in Kaboom!
71
We've got the engine running again.
72
Liz, that was fantastic!
73
Hip hip hooray!
74
Hip hip hooray!
75
Whoa, whoa!
76
I got more bus.
77
What happened to the bus?
78
Hmm, looks like the mesmerglobber blew a gasket.
79
Onto the bus, class!
80
This is an emergency!
81
Ms. Frizzle, wait!
82
Sorry, we have a busy, busy day ahead.
83
No time for waiting.
84
Only time for...
85
Taking chances, making mistakes, getting messy.
86
Huh?
87
Hop in, Ralphie.
88
I wonder if this could be another...
89
Nah, it couldn't be.
90
Yeah!
91
It is a field trip!
92
Wow!
93
This is incredible!
94
Cool!
95
Look out below!
96
Long time no see, Valerie!
97
They must know each other!
98
Class, meet Radius Ulnahumorous, magical mechanic at large.
99
Humorous?
100
As in upper arm bone?
101
Or are you humorous, as in really funny?
102
I love it!
103
Carlos!
104
R.U is the genius who taught me everything I know about busonautics.
105
You must have forgotten it all,
106
or else this bus has acquired a split personality.
107
Or else it's the mesmerglobber behind the shrinkerscope,
108
which I believe is still under warranty.
109
I'll check it, Val, but you caught me at a bad time.
110
I'm expecting another customer.
111
More important than moi?
112
No one's more important than you, my little toggle bolt.
113
My little toggle bolt?
114
Watch your flank, my little sprocket!
115
Careful, my feisty flywheel!
116
Ignition!
117
The bus has never done that before.
118
It's definitely not the Gnesberglobber.
119
Oh well, maybe it's the plane-dabber.
120
Find the problem yet, are you?
121
One thing's for sure.
122
Your levitation linkage is leaky.
123
Sorry, my little...
124
It ain't gonna rain no more,
125
no more, it ain't gonna rain no more...
126
Whoa!
127
Excuse me, Miss Frizzle, but let's say you need to make some connections.
128
But you don't know how.
129
Mm, you mean connections as in meeting the right people,
130
connections as in a cable TV hookup,
131
or connections as in joints to let your bones move.
132
Um, probably closer to the last one.
133
Everything hinges on making the right connections, my boy.
134
Time to buckle down before my next appointment gets here.
135
Catch my bent?
136
So I guess it all goes to prove something, doesn't it, Ralphie?
137
Yup.
138
And when you've got all the moves like I do,
139
it's pretty hard to make improvements.
140
Yeah!
141
Unless you're a magic schoolbuster, that is.
142
Yeah!
143
Whoo-hoo!
144
There was nothing wrong with the shrinkerscope,
145
my little wingnut, and you knew it.
146
And looks like your other customer never showed up, are you?
147
Oh, yes they did!
148
As I always say, Wahoo!
149
And two, and one, and two,
150
and one, and two, one, two.
151
The heat is getting from our bodies.
152
Should melt the fat and warm up the bus enough so it can start. But wait!
153
We're losing the heat through the metal of the bus!
154
Now what do we do?
155
If only the bus could turn itself into a polar bear with all that thick fur.
156
That's it!
157
To warm up the bus,
158
we've got to trap the heat we're making so it can't get out.
159
How?
160
Um...
161
Give me a minute.
162
It'll come to me.
163
So that's where you stash the igloo building equipment.
164
Igloo?
165
Igloo.
166
Igloo!
167
Good thinking, Arn.
168
Thanks.
169
Come on, you guys.
170
Keep those snow blocks coming.
171
I had no idea snow was such a good heat, Trapper.
172
You'd think it would be too cold.
173
Ah, yes, but see how light and fluffy it is?
174
That's because it's filled with tiny little air pockets which block the heat.
175
Like the tangled hair that insulated the bear.
176
That's fair.
177
One and two and one and two.
178
Come on, guys, don't quit now.
179
No turn, no burn.
180
No heat, no. Hey, it's working.
181
The igloo's keeping our body heat from escaping.
182
The bus is warming up.
183
Ah, the inspiration of insulation.
184
Excellent work, class.
185
And just in time.
186
All aboard!
187
Let her rip this, Brizzle!

¿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.
