Creando lección...
1
Hi, how can I help?
2
Hi. I dropped my phone this morning, and now it's completely dead.
3
Oh no. Let me have a look at it.
4
I've tried to turn it on many times, but nothing happens.
5
Did it fall far, or just off a table?
6
Out of my pocket, onto the stone floor at the station.
7
Well, the screen is badly broken, as you can see.
8
But the bigger problem might be inside.
9
Can you fix it? I really need it for work.
10
I'll need to open it first to find out.
11
Okay, the screen is broken, and the battery is damaged too.
12
How much will that cost?
13
About a hundred and fifty dollars for both.
14
Wow. That's nearly half the price of a new phone.
15
I know. It's your decision, of course.
16
How long will the repair take?
17
Usually about a day. You can pick it up tomorrow afternoon.
18
What would you do if it were your phone?
19
Honestly, it's only two years old, so I'd repair it.
20
Will I lose my photos? There are pictures of my kids on it.
21
I don't think so. Your data should be fine.
22
Okay, then please go ahead and fix it.
23
Here you go. It's working perfectly now.
24
Oh, thank goodness! And all my photos are still here.
25
I'd recommend getting a good case and screen protector.
26
Definitely. I'll take one of each right now.
27
Great. That way, it won't happen again.

¿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.
