For this week's podcast on English.com we're talking about household chores.
2
Yes, not very nice.
3
Well, some are nicer than others but some are very unpleasant.
4
The laundry, Richard.
5
Yes, washing the clothes.
6
Not too bad.
7
Very easy.
8
We have a washing machine.
9
So actually we're not really doing that, are we?
10
No. Put it in the washing machine and then… but then drying.
11
Yes, we don't have a tumble dryer so… We have to hang the laundry out.
12
Yes.
13
And then ironing.
14
Well, we have an ironing board and we have an iron.
15
But in fact, Richard, neither of us do the ironing, do we?
16
No. Now I don't have an office job.
17
I don't need to iron my shirt.
18
Yes.
19
And another rather boring chore,
20
Richard, that's the dusting, isn't it?
21
Yes, I don't like the dusting.
22
We have a nice feather duster.
23
It's just a bit boring.
24
I think I do that more than you.
25
Yes, you do the dusting and I do the hoovering.
26
Yes, I don't know why I don't like the hoovering.
27
I think it's because of the noise.
28
It's very, very noisy, yes.
29
I don't mind that.
30
Another thing I don't really mind doing too much is the washing up.
31
As you do all the cooking,
32
I feel I have to do the washing up.
33
Yes, we don't have a dishwasher, do we?
34
No dishwasher.
35
So you do it all by hand.
36
Exactly.
37
But that's not too bad.
38
No, not at all.
39
I don't find it too bad.
40
After a good meal.
41
And then there are actually,
42
there are some things that we have to do every day,
43
some chores that we have to do every day,
44
but actually are quite nice.
45
With our animals.
46
Yes.
47
One of those is taking the dog for a walk.
48
Yes.
49
I take the dog for a walk.
50
Well, actually the dog takes me for a walk.
51
and often I just throw the ball just to make sure she gets lots of exercise.
52
But you do that quite a few times during the day.
53
Yes, two or three times a day.
54
And the thing that I do,
55
usually, and that's feeding the chickens.
56
Yes, I do that occasionally as well.
57
So those are our daily chores and I think, Jackie, it's your turn.
58
Get out and feed those chickens.
59
you

¿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.
