1
Dr. Alden Royce.
Dr. Alden Royce.
2
I'm here to introduce Miley.
3
She's going to be our new addition into the technology and scientific expansion program.
Ella será nuestra nueva incorporación al programa de expansión tecnológica y científica.
4
Ha!
5
Ms. Golden, did you have something to say?
6
No, I just didn't realize we were a daycare.
7
Hmm.
8
Done.
9
Well, that is incorrect.
10
Wh-wh-how?
11
Well, I...
12
Miley can solve the problem.
13
Okay.
14
I said solve it.
15
There's no way.
16
Fantastic work, Miley.
17
That is absolutely correct.
18
How?
19
That doesn't make any sense.
20
Well, here, let me demonstrate.
21
Hello, Miley, to explain, please.
22
Sure.
23
These have a one-to-one ratio, correct?
24
So, by your logic, it would complete one full rotation by the time it returns to its starting position.
25
However, it completes two full rotations.
26
Many problems may seem simple with obvious answers, but it's important to always make sure that it still works when applied to real-life scenarios.
27
Great work, Miley.
28
Wow.
29
I'm telling you why this is all she's gonna have this family.
30
She's going to be incredible.
31
I'm a fast woman.
32
She's gonna have all of this.
33
Do you want to go back to that house of horrors with those kids?
34
Hmm?
35
I didn't think so.
36
I heard they just admitted a prodigy into your program.
37
Yeah, um, she's just some kid who looks like she belongs in middle school.
38
Do not lose the tough spot in your class to her.
39
Unless you're okay with it tarnishing the family name.
40
No, I won't, I promise.
41
Promises don't cut it.
42
You have to prove it.
43
Well, how?
44
Miley, I'm handing you a phenomenal opportunity here.
45
So be a good girl and make me proud.
46
Understand?
47
Getting into the mentorship program.
48
Two months over the summer being mentored by a Nobel Prize winner.
49
Perfect way to fast track your career.
50
I was just hoping for a little bit of a break.
51
Break?
52
You think Mr. and Mrs. Riley's daughter takes breaks?
53
No. That's why she's the lead researcher at Nova Biomedical.
54
Get into the program and we'll get you a violin. And lessons?
55
Sure.
56
Next summer.
57
But I don't even want to work in...
58
You know that I have your caseworker on the speed dial.
59
Hm?
60
So if you want, I can just...
61
No. No. I'll do it.
62
Good.
63
Hey, Mom.
64
Hey, Dad.
65
Guess who survived their first day of college?
66
It's not exactly what I thought it'd be, and Dr. Alden Royce, He's like Machiavelli with tenure.
67
But he did get me out of that home.
68
So I guess that makes him my least favorite life draft.
69
I don't know.
70
I'm just trying to be optimistic.
71
Maybe I'll make a friend.
72
Just one would be really cool, but...
73
But I don't really fit in anywhere.
74
Not here.
75
Not there.
76
Not anywhere really But that's the update for today I still really miss you guys Now more than ever
77
Today you will all be given a small live challenge.
78
Now this is courtesy of our classroom AI.
79
Now this assistant has been freezing mid-task.
80
So you will be given ten minutes to identify the fault and propose a solution.
81
But before we do that, I'd like you to meet our guests right here.
82
They are from the Integrated Intelligence Alliance, and they are actually here recruiting candidates for the International Youth Innovation Cohort.
83
Your time begins now.
84
Oh, it's a threading issue in the decision-making subroutine, probably a memory leak.
85
Memory leak.
86
Oh, that's.. odd.
87
The log looks clean.
88
You might want to keep your eyes on our youngest student here.
89
This isn't a software bug.
90
Can I use the flashlight?
91
She's taking apart the flashlight.
92
The power flexations were scrambling the AI's logic pulses.
93
The batteries were too erratic for the AI's pulsing loop.
94
Hello.
95
Please see the nature of your medical concern.
96
So you made a diagnosis of the hardware failure without even looking at the software.
97
Nice.
98
I think that's...
99
We'd like to speak with her privately.
100
Absolutely.
101
Hey!
102
I know this must seem like one big, fun field trip for you, but my entire life literally depends on me being the top student in our class.
103
So can you just go home and play Animal Crossing or whatever you do?
104
I'm sorry.
105
I'm not trying to upset anyone.
106
Wait. Where are you headed?
107
Oh, oh.
108
Ugh, sorry about that.
109
That's okay.
110
I love classical music.
111
Really?
112
Most kids your age don't appreciate Mozart.
113
It's pretty evident I'm not most kids my age.
114
Classical music's the one thing that keeps me sane.
115
Like, I've always wanted to learn how to play the violin, but my parents say that it is a waste of time, so...
116
Speaking of parents, why didn't yours come pick you up?
117
Um, they can't.
118
I'm just saying like it's a little irresponsible of them to let you just walk home like that.
119
Like I get that you are a genius and all but you're still a kid at the end of the day.
120
And I also get that they probably have jobs but still I don't think that's like a valid job.
121
They can't because they're not around anymore.
122
Oh.
123
I'm sorry.
124
Oh.
125
I'm sorry.
126
What happened to them?
127
Thanks for the ride.
128
Ugh. Where have you been?
129
I'm only five minutes late.
130
And what do I always tell you?
131
Early is on time, on time is late, and late never happens.
132
That's correct.
133
Now what kept you from getting home on time?
134
I was just dropping off a friend.
135
What?
136
Friend?
137
You can't have any friends.
138
You need to be focused on school.
139
There's no room for distractions.
140
Here, now go steady.
141
I'm sorry.
142
What has gotten into her?
143
Mind if I sit?
144
Sure.
145
Nobody else wants to.
146
Yeah, I know the feeling.
147
So, oh, do you have a favorite composer?
148
Currently, a little Vico and Adi.
149
Experience is minimalist, but it's built like a story.
150
Like, the piano's remembering something painful in real time.
151
Right?
152
That song kills me.
153
It's like.. like.. controlled chaos wrapped in calm.
154
You actually remind me a lot of myself when I was your age.
155
Did you also spend all your time with your head in a book when you were my age, slowly watching your childhood pass you by?
156
Kinda, yeah.
157
What time's your last class?
158
Why?
159
I was thinking we could do something fun.
160
Yeah?
161
Yeah.
162
Okay.
163
Stop it!
164
No, I got the box.
165
No, stop it!
166
Have you lost your mind?
167
This doesn't look like the library to me.
168
You should be studying, not playing video games with some brat.
169
Your assessment for the mentorship program is tomorrow.
170
How did you know I was here?
171
Don't try to change the subject.
172
We're the ones that are asking the questions.
173
Now come on, we're going home.
174
Do you want us to buy you that stupid little violin or not?
175
Because if you don't get into that program tomorrow, you can kiss that offer goodbye.
176
Forever.
177
Come on.
178
I'll get you an Uber.
179
Dr. Voss's mentorship is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
180
Now, you will compete across multiple challenges.
181
Creativity, intellect, and composure all on display.
182
but only one of you will be selected.
183
The first challenge, code optimization under pressure.
184
Your second challenge is a prototype sprint.
185
Solve a human problem in two hours.
186
Let's see what you come up with.
187
It's a wristband that senses emotional spikes and then plays calming music to help the consumer.
188
Would you like to talk?
189
Try switching out the 3-volt with the 5-volt.
190
It will stabilize the sensor.
191
Your third challenge, a real-world scenario, solve the traffic optimization crisis.
192
This assistant doesn't give answers.
193
It asks questions.
194
Ones I'd wish someone had asked me.
195
How are you feeling, Miley?
196
Um, that's it.
197
Thank you.
198
Okay, so I got an email this morning, and I am very pleased to announce the mentee for the mentorship program is,
199
drum roll please, Soraya Golden.
200
Miley, you're a genius.
201
So what made you think it was a smart idea to throw in the towel like that?
202
Hmm?
203
You humiliated me.
204
I didn't bring you here to...
205
I don't want to do this anymore!
206
Fine.
207
Then go ahead and pack your bags.
208
I'll make sure to dump you at the foster home as soon as your caseworker gets in touch with them.
209
Guess what?
210
I got into the mentorship program.
211
As you should.
212
Next you'll need to focus on impressing your mentor and getting a job offer.
213
Shouldn't the next thing be getting me a violin?
214
Not until you've proved to us that you've earned it.
215
Hm?
216
Well, wasn't that the whole point of getting into the program?
217
Or the university or training since I was five?
218
We're not going to reward you for doing the bare minimum.
219
Try switching out the 3 volt with the 5 volt, it will stabilize the sensor.
220
How are you feeling, Miley?
221
Um, That's it.
222
Thank you.
223
Sarai, what are you doing here?
224
Mind if I come in? So?
225
Are you gonna tell me why you purposefully let me win?
226
I didn't want to get in the way of anything that you wanted.
227
Especially since I have a few years before I'm actually old enough to go to college.
228
Well, my parents lied, so no violin for your friend here. Are you moving?
229
Yeah, I am. Where to?
230
Back to the foster home.
231
You don't have any family?
232
The truth is...
233
My parents were top scholars.
234
And they were flying back from a speaking event to make it in time for my birthday party. But...
235
They didn't make it to the party.
236
The plane crashed with both my parents on it.
237
So, I got put into the system and wound up at a foster home.
238
The other kids picked on me because I wasn't interested in the same things as them.
239
They called me a freak.
240
Then, Dr. Alden Royce found me, and he recruited me to join his university.
241
I didn't really want to, but I had no choice.
242
And since I'm refusing to be his puppet, he's sending me back to the foster home.
243
By the way, I never got the chance to tell you, but thanks for taking me to the arcade the other day the other day.
244
It was really nice to feel like a kid and the first time since I don't even know how long.
245
I'm gonna miss you.
246
Maybe you could come and visit me sometime?
247
How dare you sneak out?
248
You are in big trouble, young lady.
249
Are you tracking me?
250
You are?
251
What the heck?
252
It's for your own good, because clearly you don't know what's best for you.
253
Now come on, we're going home.
254
No, I'm not.
255
Excuse me?
256
I'm not going anywhere with you.
257
I have a right to live my life the way that I want to, and I've literally done everything that the two of you have asked of me, but it's never enough, so I'm done.
258
Fine.
259
If that's how you want to do this, then you are no longer our daughter.
260
Great.
261
Get out!
262
So, what are you going to do?
263
I don't know.
264
But I'll figure it out.
265
What about you?
266
Same.
267
Mind if I crash here tonight?
268
I think I'm nearly homeless.
269
Yeah.
270
Miley, there's someone here to see you.
271
Hi!
272
Hi!
273
I'm sorry it took me so long to visit.
274
I just, I had to get a few things in order.
275
Don't be sorry.
276
I'm just happy you're here.
277
I have a few surprises for you.
278
So I did some digging and turns out
279
that Royce here gets a percentage of any patents you develop under his mentorship program since you're still a minor.
280
So thankfully he won't be exploiting any more big brain prodigies.
281
This is the best surprise ever.
282
I do have one more surprise for you. Is this for real?
283
Mm-hmm.
284
I had to take some time to get a steady job and an apartment of my own, but I did.
285
So, how would you like to come live with me?
286
I take back what I said earlier.
287
This is the best surprise ever.

¿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.
