I don't know how he does it.

He gets into the office before everyone else in the morning and he's also always the last to leave.
33
He must be exhausted all the time.
34
He seems pretty fit though and whenever I see him at the weekends he looks relaxed and happy.
35
Maybe he just likes getting everything done before he goes home.
36
Yeah, maybe you're right.
37
But he earns just the same as we do, and that's not much.
38
It's not too bad, though, is it?
39
And I think he'll be promoted before any of the rest of us are.
40
He's obviously very keen.
41
There's no denying that.

You hear an author talking about his new book.
55
Oh Thanks for inviting me to come on the program and talk about my new book.
56
I thought the book might never happen when I was sitting at my desk day after day.
57
I wish the words would simply flow out like they did when I was writing my other books.
58
Sometimes I wondered if I'd ever get it finished.
59
Of course, I know it's unlikely to become a bestseller, but I hope that my loyal readers will enjoy it.
60
They'll recognize some of the characters from my first novel.
61
Older and wiser, at least in some cases.

Question four.
69
You hear two friends talking about something they saw on TV.
70
Oh It's funny really, but I just didn't get it.
71
Everyone was talking about it, but I just thought it was silly.
72
You mean you wanted more information?
73
Exactly.
74
I mean, what's the point of something like that?
75
It didn't even make me laugh.
76
Oh, come on.
77
You have to admit, it was pretty funny.
78
Well, I didn't think so.
79
And it was annoying the way everybody whistled the tune all the time.
80
Why on earth would that make me buy something?
81
I think you're too serious sometimes.
82
It was just a bit of fun.
83
If you want to find out more, then look on the internet.
84
Oh It's funny really, but I just didn't get it.

Question 5.

100
Oh You know how it is.
101
As soon as you've finished one project, you have to get started on something else, and it's often something completely different.
102
I don't find that a problem, though, and I enjoy the fact that I can get it done effectively.
103
After all, I've been in this job for a long time, so I think I can say I know what I'm doing.
104
I wish that was true of the people I'm working with.
105
I reckon if I didn't keep checking, they'd never get on with things.
106
Though I guess I'm not feeling very motivated about this project either.
107
You know how it is.

116
Mmm, delicious soup!

You think so?
118
It's a bit hot, isn't it?
119
What do you mean hot?
120
Too many spices or the temperature?
121
It burned my mouth.
122
Well, you should have had something else.
123
There was plenty to choose from.
124
There may have been for you, but don't forget, I'm a vegetarian.
125
There wasn't much there for me.
126
But at least we haven't paid a fortune for it.
127
Mmm, I couldn't even make it at home for that price.
128
But I still think we should go somewhere else next time.
129
Mmm, delicious soup!
130
You think so?

Question 7.
143
You hear a woman talking about her neighbour's holiday photographs.
144
Oh They always invite us round for dinner after they've been on holiday and show us all the photos they've taken.
145
I didn't like the dinner much, but of course I didn't say anything.
146
They go to some interesting places, and they actually do pretty well considering they don't have expensive equipment or any training as photographers.
147
I wish I could remember the name of the place they went to this summer.
148
'Mmm, that's really annoying.
149
I should have written it down.' I'll have to ask them next time I see them.
150

157
You hear two friends talking about a concert they've just been to.
158
Oh.
159
I really enjoyed that, didn't you?
160
Despite the technical problems at the beginning.
161
Wonderful!
162
Spanish flamenco music just makes you want to get up and dance.
163
I noticed you standing up at one stage.
164
Yeah, but that was to get a better view.
165
Ah, yes.
166
Pity we were at the back.
167
But it was all that was available when I bought the tickets on Friday.
168
I know, but next time we must book earlier.
169
It was very hot in there.
170
Did that bother you?
171
I just kept thinking it was like summer in Spain.
172
and then the rhythm of the sticks they beat on the floor.
173
Me too.
174
I really enjoyed that, didn't you?
175
Despite the technical problems at the beginning.
176
Wonderful!

¿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.
