Part 2
2
you will hear a principal of a school talking to a group of parents about a three -day trip for pupils, to an outdoor education center.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
5
Good evening.
6
It's good to see so many parents here.
7
Let me begin by explaining why we go to the Outdoor Education Centre.
8
Well, by age 10, we feel the children are ready for a trip away from home
9
but still in a safe environment and under the guidance of a familiar adult.
10
At the school, we strongly believe children should be encouraged to try different things, and not give up when it gets difficult.
11
And that's what the centre is all about, having a go.
12
Anyway, To start with, The sleeping arrangements.
13
For some children, this will be their first time in a tent and away from home so please prepare them.
14
You can do this just by making sure they have some early nights before we go.
15
Another thing, There's space for three children per tent so we can't guarantee your child will be in with their best friends.
16
So do make them aware of this.
17
Now, you should have received a list with the clothing the children will need in their backpack.
18
but there are some extras Please provide a packet of biscuits or maybe fruit bars.
19
but these need to go in the box in the school hall, not with the children.
20
Actually, what we do need in the backpacks are bags for cleaning up, and for wet clothing, so plastic ones please.
21
A torch is a good idea, But don't worry about putting money in because there's nothing to buy.
22
While we're on the subject, let's talk about some other items.
23
Cell phones are permitted, but they must be switched off at night, and also off during the teaching sessions.
24
Also, for wood carving activities, Knives will be provided by the centre so children shouldn't bring them from home.
25
Electronic games are banned, so rather than bring one of these, children should bring quiet board games.
26
Turning to the question of parent attendance, in the past we've had too many volunteers, so we have written names on bits of paper and pulled them out of the box.
27
But then some parents have changed their minds.
28
So, if you're absolutely sure you can come, put your name down on the sign -up form and the first 10 will be asked to come.
29
"Experience isn't required.
30
We just want you to lend a hand." Now, I'm afraid the fee for the trip needs to be paid by the 15th.
31
Payment to the centre is made by school, not by parents.
32
and your teacher will be given your child a form with the school's bank account details
33
if you want to use them to make payments.
34
Otherwise, please leave payment in an envelope in the box at the school office.
35

¿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.
