Today's story is Elephants Can't Fly.
11
Nala and Ellie the elephant are playing together in the sun.
12
Ellie is lifting Nala on her big, strong trunk.
13
She flings Nala onto her back.
14
Whee!
15
shouts Nala as she flies through the air.
16
Let's do that again, she cries.
17
I love flying.
18
But Ellie has stopped playing.
19
Her trunk has flopped to the floor and her big leathery ears droop around her face.
20
What's wrong, Ellie?
21
Nala asks.
22
I miss my little butterfly friend, Bettina, she sniffs.
23
Whenever I think about somebody flying, it reminds me of her.
24
I wish I could fly.
25
Oh, that's sad, Ellie.
26
Why can't you see Bettina?
27
Because she lives in another country.
28
There is just so much land and water between us.
29
I can walk a long way on my four strong legs and I can even swim pretty well,
30
but I definitely can't swim all the way across the ocean and I can't fly across either.
31
You're right, you can't fly Elephants can't swim across the sea either You have long, thick legs and a big,
32
bendy trunk You would sink in no time, Ellie
33
I know, Ellie sighs I can only walk and stomp and swim a short distance It sounds like you really miss her,
34
comforts Nala But what if you could send a message to her?
35
I'd love that, Nala, but how?
36
Ellie cries.
37
Well, you have lots of animal friends, right?
38
Well, yes.
39
So your friends can help you to deliver a message to Bettina.
40
But how can they do that?
41
inquires Ellie.
42
Every animal moves differently, you see.
43
Some of your friends can move across land and others can cross the ocean.
44
Maybe they could deliver your message to Bettina.
45
Great idea, trumpets Ellie with her trunk high in the air.
46
Ellie's loud noise startles Fabio the frog, so he comes to find out what all the ruckus is about.
47
Boing, boing, boing.
48
Fabio hops from one rock to another in a clear, still pond.
49
So, calls Fabio the frog, What's all this noise about?
50
We're looking for some animals to do a special job for Ellie, explains Nala.
51
Would you like to be one of them?
52
Oh, yes, please, croaks Fabio happily.
53
It would be such a pleasure.
54
I want to send a message to my friend Bettina the Butterfly, but she lives a long way away.
55
Could you please deliver this message to Wally the Humpback Whale?
56
Your bendy legs can help you hop all the way to the ocean where he lives, explains Ellie the elephant.
57
I don't normally travel that far, but I'm glad to help, he croaks.
58
What's the message?
59
Ellie gently whispers the message to Fabio.
60
Got it, he shouts as he hops away.
61
Boing, boing, boing, he goes, hopping from one rock to another on his skinny, springy legs until he reaches the seaside.
62
Wally!
63
he yells.
64
I need your help.
65
Can you please take a message to Benny, the Bengal tiger?
66
Benny lives a long way away, right across the ocean, in fact.
67
Who's the message from?
68
Wally bellows in his loud whale voice.
69
It's from Ellie the elephant.
70
She can't swim across the ocean herself, you know.
71
Oh, yes, that's very true.
72
But I can swim a long way because my body is big and powerful.
73
Leave it to me, Fabio.
74
So, what's the message?
75
Fabio tells Wally the message.
76
Then he swims away with strong swishes of his huge whale tail, until...
77
He reaches the shore and calls out to Benny.
78
Who's calling me?
79
yawns Benny as he wakes up from a nap.
80
It's Wally!
81
I have a job for you!
82
he yells.
83
Benny runs over on his four strong legs.
84
Hi, Wally.
85
I haven't seen you in ages.
86
What can I do for you?
87
Ellie the elephant wants to get a message to Bettina the butterfly,
88
but she couldn't come herself because elephants can't swim very far.
89
Oh, yes, true, true, Benny agrees.
90
So, can you run with your strong legs until you find Bettina?
91
You should be able to reach her in no time That's a good plan,
92
Wally I can't fly, but I can walk
93
and run on my four legs That's more than me I can only swim in water We all move so differently,
94
comments Benny Now, tell me the message and I'll find Bettina.
95
Wally whispers the message to Benny and then slips back under the water.
96
Benny runs off on his four legs right away.
97
Oh, Bettina!
98
He roars.
99
Suddenly, a beautiful blue and black butterfly flutters towards Benny.
100
She is so little and light
101
that her tiny wings can carry her through the air with ease Left and right she darts,
102
flying through the air in all directions She settles her tiny body on top of a bush Yes,
103
Bettina breathes, her voice is very soft
104
I've got a message for you from Ellie the Elephant Benny pants A message from Ellie?
105
cries Bettina.
106
Oh, how lovely!
107
But she is so far away, right across the ocean, she exclaims.
108
How did you receive her message?
109
Well, Bettina, all her animal friends helped to deliver the message.
110
First, Fabio hopped the message to Wally the humpback whale.
111
Wally swam all the way across the ocean to deliver the message to me,
112
and I ran through the trees to deliver the message to you how wonderful bettina sighs
113
but what's the message let me see the message from ellie
114
the elephant is dear bettina i'm having a big party next week
115

118

119

Frogs are very fond of hopping in a pond.

¿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.
