I started my new job on Monday.
4
Congratulations!
5
So do you drive there every day?
6
No need.

It's a ten -minute walk, and if it rains, I take the bus.
8
There's a bus stop just outside the office.
9
You're lucky.
10
I spend so much time and money driving to work.
11
But that's not my problem.
12
Now you have left the office, I have no one to talk to.
13
Everyone's so boring.
14
I know, that's one of the main reasons I left.
15
And the money, of course.
16
£19 ,500 was good. But...
17
£22 ,500 is better and I save another £3 ,000 as I'm closer to home.
18
Do you still answer calls and send emails?
19
I do, but I also have to be with the manager when he's in a meeting.
20
It's tiring, but so much better than sitting at my desk all day.
21
Well, Linda, I'd love to do that.
22
I wish Miss Pierce would give us something new to work on.

Why don't you talk to her?

¿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.
