1
Now turn to part three, questions fourteen to nineteen.
2
You will hear a telephone message about a business studies course.
3
For each question, fill in the missing information in the numbered space.
4
You now have twenty seconds to look at part three.
5
Now we're ready to start.
6
Listen carefully.
7
You will hear the recording twice.
8
Hello, this is Green Hill College.
9
I'm leaving this message in answer to your inquiry about the Business Studies course.
10
Firstly, you asked when the course starts.
11
It begins on the 12th of June and finishes four weeks later on the 7th of July.
12
According to your letter, you're free at this time, so I hope those dates will be alright.
13
At the beginning of the course, there are no lectures because we spend time watching business videos
14
so you won't need to bring anything for the class as everything is provided.
15
Don't forget however that although you can bring your own laptop if you wish, mobile phones are not allowed in the classroom.
16
I'm afraid these can disturb the classes so they've now been banned.
17
You said you're coming by car.
18
Well, as it's only a short course, you can use the visitors' car park, which is just beside the main entrance.
19
We're only a short walk away.
20
Just turn right after the Science and Technology Centre, cross the staff car park, and you'll see the door to the Business Studies Department in front of you.
21
Finally, you also wanted to know if it's possible to attend a language course while you were here.
22
Well, the answer is yes, but we only have room on our Italian classes.
23
Oh, no, actually, there's one place on the Spanish course too.
24
We usually offer French and Japanese as well, but there aren't enough students for those classes this summer.
25
So, I think that's all.
26
But if you need to ask any further questions, please call Sonia Ashley.
27
Ashley, that's spelt A-S-H-L-E-I-G-H.
28
She's the secretary in the Business Studies department and she'll be happy to help.
29
Thank you for your inquiry.

Now listen again.

¿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.
