Great choice!
151
Your mom will love it!

164
It looks like it was declined again.
165
Do you have another card you want to use?
166
No, only this one.
167
No problem.
168
If you have cash, I can take that.
169
Uh, cash?
170
Yes, but I don't have enough.
171
No worries, there's an ATM just outside the store where you can take out money.
172
How about my things?
173
I can hold them here while you get the cash.
174
Thanks!
175
If I'm not back in 10 minutes,
176
Maybe it's because the ATM doesn't work too.
177
Music.
178
Hi, excuse me.
179
What can I do for you, Mr. Luciani?
180
I need to change some Euros to Dollars.
181
My card isn't working.
182
I can't pay for things or get cash.
183
I see.
184
Sorry, but we can't change money here at the hotel.
185
Oh, so what can I do?

There's a bank two blocks away that changes euros to dollars.
187
But they're only open during the day.
188
"I see, but it's 7pm now and I need cash for dinner.
189
What can I do?" You can eat at our hotel restaurant.
190
We can put it on your room bill. That fancy one?
191
I think just a drink there might cost more than my card balance.
192
We also have room service for dinner.
193
It is cheaper.
194
Maybe I'll try that.
195
Where can I see the menu?
196
There's a menu in your room or you can look at our website.

253
Alright, I see.

255
It may have been delayed during the process.
256
Oh no, I'm supposed to attend a wedding in a few hours.
257
How long will it take for my luggage to arrive?
258
It should be about an hour or so before it arrives.
259
I can help you with a few things in the meantime if you'd like.
260
We can also provide you with a kit for toiletries if you need anything.
261
That's good to know.

280
Like dollars in America.
281
Ah, I see.
282
Thank you.
283
5 euros.. hmm.. a little expensive?
284
I understand, but this is good quality.
285
It's made of metal, not plastic.
286
Good quality.

Room Reservation Issue Hello,
305
I have a reservation under the name of Josh Thompson.
306
Let me check.
307
Ah, yes, I see your reservation here.
308
You've booked a standard room for three nights.
309
Actually, I thought I booked a room with a king -size bed.
310
I specifically asked for it when I made the reservation.
311
Hmm, I'm not seeing that in the system.
312
It looks like you've been assigned a room with two twin beds.
313
Oh no, that's really not going to work.
314
I need a king -size bed.
315
Is there anything you can do to change it?
316
Let me check our availability.
317
Good news!
318
We do have a king -size room available.
319
But there's a small upgrade fee of $20 per night.
320
Would you like to switch?
321
Yes, please.
322
I really need a bigger bed for a comfortable stay.
323
I'll make the change right now.
324
Your new room is on the fourth floor, and here's your keycard.
325
Sorry for the inconvenience.
326
That's okay.

Are you looking for a regular bike or an electric one?
331
Just a regular bike, please.
332
How much is it for a day?
333
It's 15 euros for the whole day.
334
That sounds good.
335
Do you have a smaller bike?
336
I'm not very tall.
337
No problem.
338
We have bikes in different sizes.
339
Let me check.
340
Here you go.
341
This one should be comfortable for you.
342
Perfect.
343
Does it come with a lock?
344
Yes, every bite comes with a lock.
345
Amsterdam's safe, but it's always a good idea to lock your bike.
346
Great.
347
And, uh, do I need a helmet?
348
Helmets aren't required here, but we do have them if you want one.
349
It's 5 euros extra.
350
I'll take the helmet, too.
351
Better safe than sorry.
352
Good choice.
353
"Ah, how do I return the bike?" You can return it here before 8pm or if it's late, just use the drop -off box outside.
354
Awesome.
355
Thank you for explaining everything.
356
Enjoy exploring Amsterdam!
357
Number five, shipping souvenirs online.
358
Hi, do you ship internationally?
359
specifically to Germany.
360
Yes, we ship worldwide.
361
Germany is no problem at all.
362
what are you looking to order?
363
I really like this Statue of Liberty model.
364
It looks so detailed.
365
That's a great choice.
366
It's a popular item.
367
This one is $20 and shipping it to Germany will be an additional $15.
368
Hmm, $15 for shipping?
369
That seems a bit high.
370
How long does delivery take?
371
Typically, it takes about two weeks.
372
We use a reliable courier service to ensure it arrives safely.
373
Two weeks?
374
That's not bad.
375
Do you provide tracking information?
376
Yes, absolutely.
377
Once your order is shipped, we'll send you an email with the tracking details.

381
Going on a hike in the Swiss Alps.
382
Wow, Tom!
383
This place is absolutely stunning!
384
I can't believe we're really hiking in the Swiss Alps.
385
It's beautiful, but I have to admit, this hike looks a bit intense.
386
Are we sure we're ready for this?
387
Don't worry, we'll take it slow and steady.
388
The trail we're doing today is manageable for beginners, but the views make it worth every step.
389
That's a relief!
390
How long does the hike take?
391
It should take about three hours to reach the summit, but we'll stop along the way for rest breaks and to take in the views.
392
Okay, that sounds more doable.
393
I just hope I don't slip on these rocks.
394
I'll make sure to hold your hand if you need it.
395
If you both follow me here, we'll get a nice view of the valley below.
396
It's perfect for photos.
397
I'm definitely getting some pictures of this.
398
Can you help us take a group photo when we reach the top?
399
Absolutely, I love capturing moments for guests.
400
Shopping for traditional crafts.
401
Mom, look at this bowl.
402
It's so colorful and unique.
403
It's beautiful, Jane.
404
I love the vibrant colors.
405
How much is it?
406
That one is $120.
407
It's made by a local Pueblo artisan.
408
And the design is inspired by traditional Native American patterns.
409
I've never seen anything like it.
410
Can I get it for my room?
411
It is beautiful, but $120 is a little more than I expected for a souvenir.
412
Do you have any smaller pieces?
413
Yes, we have smaller bowls and trinkets.
414
Let me show you some.
415
This one is cute.
416
How much is it?
417
This one is $50.
418
It's still hand -made, but it's a smaller size.
419
I like this one.
420
How about we get this one, Jane?
421
It's perfect for my desk.
422
Do you have any discounts if we buy these two small bowls?
423
Since you're taking two pieces, I can give you a 10 % discount.
424
So, it would be $90 for both.
425
That sounds good.
426
Do you take credit cards?
427
"Yes, we do.
428
Would you like me to gift wrap them for you?" That would be wonderful.
429
Thank you.
430

Only $120 and it's in perfect condition.
437
It's an investment, Jake.
438
This jacket is timeless.
439
You can never go wrong with vintage.
440
I just don't get how old clothes are worth so much.

It's not just any jacket, it's a piece of fashion history.
443
"Exactly.
444
It's got soul.
445
I'll take it.
446
Can I try it on first?" Of course.
447
You look like you just stepped out of an old rock band.
448
It's perfect for you, Dad.
449
He's rocking it, right?
450

¿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.
