Yes, of course.
8
Can I take your name?
9
It's Peter Chin.
10
OK, Peter.
11
Well, if you want to ask about the job, and then if we're both still interested, we could arrange for you to come for an interview.
12
Great, thanks.
13
I'm afraid I missed the advert for the job, but heard about it from a friend.

That's no problem at all.
15
What would you like to know?

Well, um, what sort of work is it?

Washing up?

22
And how many nights a week would it be?
23
Well, we're really only busy at the weekend.
24
So two nights?

Three actually, so it would work out at twelve hours a week.
26
That'd be fine.
27
It wouldn't interfere with my studies.
28
Are you at the university?
29
Yes, first year physics student.
30
Oh right.
31
Um, and because I'm not an EU national, would I need a work permit?

We're offering £4.45 an hour.
43
That's very good.
44
My last job was £3.95 an hour.
45
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10.
46
Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10.
47
We feel it's pretty good, and we also offer some good fringe benefits.
48
Really?
49
Well, we give you a free dinner, so you eat well.
50
Right.
51
Better than hostile food.
52
We certainly hope so.
53
And we also offer extra pay for working on national holidays.
54
Oh, that's a really good perk, isn't it?
55
Yes, we think so.
56
And then, because of the difficulties of getting public transport, if you're working after 11 o'clock, we drive you home.
57
Oh, that's good to know.
58
Well, we'd certainly be interested in inviting you for an interview, if you're still interested.
59
Oh, yes, certainly.
60
Could I just also ask what qualities you're looking for?
61
Well, for this particular job we want a clear voice, which you obviously do have.

Thanks.

And you must be able to think quickly, you know?
64
Well, I hope I...
65
So, when could you come in for an interview?
66
We're actually quite quiet tonight.

¿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.
