That new blue building?

Oh, no need.
83
They're each labelled.

Great.

So which one would I put magazines in?
86
Actually, they don't go in any of the bins.

Unfortunately, magazines can't be recycled because of the material they're made of.
88
It's such a waste.

So, would you be interested in volunteering?

Um, I'll think about it.

Could you send me some more info?

| Estructura | En el vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — una acción que empezó antes y continúa | I've been seeing |
| Voz pasiva be + participio pasado — importa lo que ocurre, no quién lo hace | will be played · will be given · has been done |

Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:
- s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: spell /spɛl/, speller /ˈspɛ.lə(ɹ)/
- /h/ — una aspiración suave, no la “j”: neighbourhood /ˈneɪbə.hʊd/, helpline /ˈhɛlpˌlaɪn/

- Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
- Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como encourage, booklet, volunteer.
¿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.
