They're planning to get married next year and start a family when they're financially ready.
35
That's wonderful.
36
I think people should settle down when they feel ready, rather than doing it just because their parents expect them to.

Right.

58
Does she get on well with the younger generations?
59
Most of the time, yes, but sometimes she finds it difficult to understand modern technology.

She doesn't always fit in with the way young people communicate, and she can't understand why we spend so much time online.
61
I can understand that.

Every generation has its own habits.
63
Young people sometimes run out of patience when older people don't understand their choices, while elderly people may struggle to keep up with rapid changes.
64
That's why we should try to understand each other.

We shouldn't judge people just because they belong to a different generation.

Absolutely.

¿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.
