1
I found condoms in her room!
2
What?
3
It is worse!
4
The box isn't full!
5
Well, did you talk to her?
6
She is at school.
7
Who's the boy?
8
I don't know who he is.
9
Gimme.
10
Why?
11
I think I can help.
12
Uh, if you're okay with it,
13
I can talk to her.
14
Why?
15
Well, she trusts me.
16
Maybe I can find out what's going on.
17
I know what's going on!
18
There's a three-pack of condoms and only two left!
19
Well, that could mean a lot of things.
20
Like?
21
Like?
22
Let me talk to her and get back to you.
23
Okay.
24
Thanks.
25
Why was she snooping in my room?
26
More importantly, you cannot tell her I gave them to you.
27
She's gonna kill me.
28
Probably.
29
What do I do?
30
She doesn't know you did anything.
31
She knows there's a condom missing.
32
Right.
33
I'm dead.
34
Well, I think we have two options here.
35
We come clean and we hope she understands,
36
or we lie our asses off.
37
That one.
38
Asses.
39
I'll tell your mom that you stole them from the drugstore.
40
Why?
41
Well, shoplifting.
42
It's a distraction, like pleading guilty to a lesser offense.
43
Smart.
44
Mm-hmm, and you were curious how they worked,
45
so you took one out and you put it on a banana.
46
A banana?
47
A cucumber, a carrot, it doesn't matter.
48
What matters is, you weren't having sex.
49
Thank you.
50
I got your back.
51
What have you got?
52
It's not as bad as you think.
53
There was no sex.
54
Oh, thank the lord.
55
Wait, why then was there a condom missing?
56
You're gonna laugh.
57
She was curious, so she took one out and she put it on a banana.
58
That's what she told you?
59
Yeah.
60
And you believed it?
61
You don't?
62
No. That is the stupidest story I've ever heard.
63
No, it's a good story.
64
It's very plausible.
65
Oh, and she stole them from the drugstore.
66
Well, that part I buy.
67
She didn't believe the banana story,
68
which is crazy because it's so good.
69
I gotta go.
70
Oh, but she did believe you stole it, so run with that.
71
Who is the boy?
72
There is no boy.
73
You had better start explaining yourself.
74
Why?
75
You're just gonna tell me I'm going to hell.
76
Sex before marriage is a sin.
77
You did it.
78
And God punished me with a disrespectful daughter.
79
I'm not talking about this.
80
But you'll talk to Mandy?
81
Yes, she listens and doesn't lecture me.
82
Did she know about this?
83
Hello?
84
She's headed your way and she's pissed.
85
Why don't you tell her?
86
I'll get it.
87
Where is your lying wife?
88
I know you're mad.
89
About what?
90
You don't know?
91
About this one giving your sister condoms?
92
What?
93
Hey, she came to me.
94
Then you lied about it?
95
Only because I didn't want to get her in trouble or get me in trouble?
96
You?
97
Stay away from Missy.
98
I've never seen her so upset.
99
She ain't the only one.
100
Missy was talking to me about this guy she's seeing.
101
It was starting to get serious,
102
so I wanted to make sure she was safe.
103
Did you try telling her not to do it?
104
If anybody had told you that, would it have worked?
105
That's different.
106
I'm a guy.
107
So it was okay for you to have sex in high school,
108
but not the girls you were with?
109
Yes.

¿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.
