1
Hello, everyone!
2
Remember Jesse?
3
He's still working to become more independent, and in this new unit, we're going to learn about how to get ready for our day.
4
It looks like Jesse just woke up.
5
Hmm, and his sheets look pretty messy.
6
Over the night, Jesse does tend to move around a bit.
7
His sheets are all over.
8
Today, let's learn how to make your bed.
9
A neat bed looks great, and it helps the room look nice and tidy.
10
It can also give you a sense of accomplishment to start your day.
11
But beds don't make themselves.
12
Someone, of course, needs to make the bed.
13
That's where you come in.
14
Before we look at the steps involved in making your bed, let's first check out what each piece of bedding looks like.
15
There is a specific order for how bedding is laid down on the bed.
16
Take a look.
17
The comforter is the thick blanket that goes on top of the bed.
18
It does a great job keeping you warm.
19
Under that is the top sheet.
20
This is the flat sheet that you sleep under.
21
Under those two is the fitted sheet.
22
It's the sheet with the stretchy elastic that keeps it on the mattress.
23
It's what you sleep on top of.
24
Now, let's look at the steps we take to make our bed.
25
First, get in bed and find the top corners.
26
Maybe you're already in bed, but if you're not, it's easiest to do this step from in bed,
27
since it's hard to reach both top corners from out of your bed.
28
So find the two corners of the comforter and the top sheet and get them in your hands.
29
It might be hard to reach all the way to each corner.
30
Do your best.
31
Next, pull them up and spread them out.
32
Giving the blankets a little shake can help to smooth them out too.
33
Then, get out of bed and smooth the covers.
34
Do your best to straighten and flatten any bumps or folds.
35
Finally, arrange your pillows.
36
You can fold the top edge of the comforter and top sheet down if you'd like.
37
Maybe even put a stuffed animal on the pillows.
38
Ah, what a nice finishing touch.
39
And that's how you do it.
40
Now, let's review the steps.
41
First, get in bed and find the top corners.
42
Next, pull them up and spread them out.
43
Then, get out of bed and smooth the covers.
44
Finally, arrange your pillows.
45
It sure does feel nice to slide into a neatly made bed at the end of a long day.
46
Since Jesse did a nice job making his bed today, he earned his...
47
Tidy Bedmaker Badge.
48
Practice making your bed to earn your badge too.
49
Nice work today!
50
Keep that bed looking neat, and we will see you next time!

Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:

  • s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: smooth /smuːð/, slide /ˈslaɪ̯d/, straighten /ˈstɹeɪtn̩/, stretchy /ˈstɹɛt͡ʃi/
  • /dʒ/ — no es la “y” ni la “ch”: badge /bæd͡ʒ/, arrange /əˈɹeɪnd͡ʒ/

Cómo practicar con este vídeo

  1. Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
  2. Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
  3. Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como sheet, pillow, earn.

¿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.
