Oliver, thanks for covering for me next week.
2
No problem at all. Where are you off to?
3
Portugal, for ten days. I can't wait.
4
Lovely. So, what do I need to know?
5
There are three things you'll need to look after.
6
First, the Henderson order has to go out on Monday.
7
Has the customer already paid for it?
8
Yes, they paid last Friday, so it's ready.
9
Second, please check the team inbox every morning.
10
What should I do if something is urgent?
11
If it can't wait, pass it to Priya.
12
She's dealt with most of these customers before.
13
All right. And what's the third thing?
14
The monthly report is due on the fifteenth.
15
I've already written most of it.
16
So I just need to add the final numbers?
17
Exactly. I've left clear notes in the shared folder.
18
Brilliant. That'll make my life much easier.
19
Can I ring you if I get really stuck?
20
Only if it's a real emergency, please.
21
Fair enough. You deserve a proper break.
22
Thanks. I haven't had a holiday since last summer.
23
Then switch your phone off and enjoy it.
24
I will. I've already set my out-of-office message.
25
Is there anything else I should know?
26
I don't think so. You've got everything now.
27
Great. Have a wonderful time in Portugal.
28
Thanks, Oliver. I owe you one.

¿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.
