1
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20.
2
Now listen and answer questions sixteen to twenty.
3
Now, if you can take a look at your plans, you'll see Branley Castle has four towers joined together by a high wall,
4
with the river on two sides.
5
Don't miss seeing the Great Hall.
6
That's near the river in the main tower, the biggest one which was extended and redesigned in the eighteenth century.
7
If you want to get a good view of the whole castle, you can walk around the walls.
8
The starting point's quite near the main entrance.
9
Walk straight down the path until you get to the south gate, and it's just there.
10
Don't go on to the north gate.
11
There's no way up from there.
12
There'll shortly be a show in which you can see archers displaying their skill with a bow and arrow.
13
The quickest way to get there is to take the first left after the main entrance
14
and follow the path past the bridge.
15
Then you'll see it in front of you at the end.
16
If you like animals, there's also a display of hunting birds, falcons and eagles and so on.
17
If you go from the main entrance in the direction of the south gate, but turn right before you get there instead of going through it,
18
you'll see it on your right, past the first tower.
19
At 3pm, there's a short performance of traditional dancing on the outdoor stage.
20
That's right at the other side of the castle from the entrance and over the bridge.
21
It's about ten minutes' walk or so. And finally, the shop.
22
It's actually inside one of the towers, but the way in is from the outside.
23
Just take the first left after the main entrance, go down the path and take the first right.
24
It's got some lovely gifts and souvenirs.
25
Right, so we're just arriving.
26
That is the end of Section 2.
27
You now have half a minute to check your answers.

¿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.
