1
Hey friends, it's Miss Bell.
2
Today we're going to be reading a story and learning even more about our community helpers.
3
This story is called Percy's Neighborhood and here's Percy right here.
4
He's going to be helping his dad with hanging up some signs around his town.
5
Let's join Percy and and his dad and see what we learn about the different people in our community.
6
Here we go.
7
Percy really wanted to go to the park.
8
Not yet, said his daddy.
9
First, we have work to do.
10
We have to hand out these posters for the fun run, said his daddy.
11
We'll give them to the community helpers in our neighborhood.
12
I can't wait for the fun run, said Percy.
13
But what's a community?
14
He asked.
15
Hmm, friends, let's think, think, think about some of the community helpers that we know, and then we can see if we find those people in our story.
16
So let's think, what's one community helper that you know?
17
Tell me.
18
That's a good one.
19
I was thinking about a mail carrier.
20
I wonder if we will see that person.
21
Maybe a mail carrier or a firefighter.
22
Maybe a police officer.
23
I bet we could even think of more.
24
Maybe a teacher.
25
That's a good one.
26
Or a construction worker.
27
Those are lots of different community helpers that we might see in our story.
28
Let's find out who Percy meets.
29
A community is a place where people live and work together, said his daddy.
30
A neighborhood is the part of the community nearest to you.
31
Now, let's hand out the posters and find out what community helpers do.
32
Their first stop was Dr. Russo's.
33
Doctors keep us healthy, said Percy's daddy.
34
We help people get better when they are sick, said Dr. Russo.
35
Give me a thumbs up if you thought about a doctor as a community helper.
36
You did?
37
Nice job.
38
Let's see who he meets next.
39
Next stop, the fire station, said Percy's daddy.
40
He hung a poster on the station door.
41
Firefighters put out fires, said Firefighter Bates.
42
We also teach people how to prevent them.
43
So first they went to the doctor.
44
Then they came to the firefighter.
45
Let's see who they will meet next.
46
Back on the street, they saw Frida, Emma, and Pickle.
47
We're going to the park, said Frida.
48
Want to come?
49
Yes, said Percy.
50
Can we go now, Daddy?
51
Not yet, said his daddy.
52
We have a few more posters left.
53
Soon, they reached the police station.
54
Friends, who will they see inside of the police station?
55
That's right, they're going to see a police officer.
56
Let's find out what they do.
57
Officer Ruiz told Percy, Our job is to keep people safe.
58
We also make sure that everyone obeys the laws of our community, she added.
59
Do police go to the fun run? asked Percy.
60
You bet!
61
I'll be directing traffic, said Officer Ruiz.
62
They turned the corner and went into Read-A-Lot Library.
63
Ooh, friends, this is a tricky one.
64
Who works at the library?
65
Is it a nurse or a librarian?
66
A librarian.
67
Let's read and find out.
68
We borrow books and movies and all sorts of stuff at the library, said Percy.
69
That's right, said Mr. Kim, the librarian.
70
My job is to help you do that.
71
It's time to go, said Percy's dad.
72
I hope we'll see you at the fun run, Mr. Kim.
73
Percy and his daddy crossed the street.
74
They were finally at the park.
75
We're practicing for the fun run, said Emma.
76
Pickle was practicing too.
77
Where have you been?
78
Frida asked.
79
I handed out fun run posters to the community helpers in the neighborhood, said Percy.
80
Friends, let's look over here and see who he handed the posters to.
81
First, he handed a poster to the doctor.
82
Next, he handed a poster to the firefighter.
83
Then, he handed a poster to the police officer.
84
And last, he handed a poster to the librarian.
85
Way to go, friends.
86
We put those in order from first to last.
87
It was finally the day of the fun run all of Percy's friends were there.
88
Look, said Percy, all the helpers in our community are here too.
89
They are all a part of our community.
90
Just like us.
91
All right, friends, let's look at this picture right over here.
92
I'm going to give you a clue, and I want you to see if you can make a smart guess about who I'm talking about.
93
Ready?
94
Who helps to keep us healthy and take care of us when we're sick?
95
That's right, a doctor.
96
Way to go, friends.
97
Let's do two more.
98
Who helps the community by putting out fires and teaching people how to prevent them?
99
Way to go.
100
I was talking about a firefighter.
101
All right, last one.
102
Who works in a library and helps us find books?
103
Way to go, friends, a librarian.
104
Thanks for reading along with me and learning more about our community helpers.
105
I'll see you guys again soon.
106

¿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.
