1
Okay guys, Angie's birthday is next week.
2
What do you think we should get her?
3
Well, she likes watches.
4
What about a nice wristwatch?
5
That's good, but I have a better idea.
6
She's always saying how much she likes horses, so why don't we get her a couple of hours riding lessons in Village Park?
7
Wow, she'd really like that too.
8
Both of the ideas we've heard are really good ones.
9
But I'm afraid there's one problem.
10
Yeah, I know what you're gonna say.
11
It's money, right?
12
Yeah, uh, running lessons...
13
and a wristwatch all cost a lot of money.
14
Even if the three of us shared the cost, it'd still be expensive.
15
Okay guys, so we're not millionaires, but let's remember that it's not important how much we can or can't spend.
16
But that we want our friend to be happy on her birthday.
17
Lexi, you are right.
18
We don't have to spend a fortune to make Angie feel special.
19
I have an idea.
20
She likes clothes from this shop down on Istaklá.
21
If we went there, we could get something really nice for Angie.
22
Do you want to go now?
23
Sure.
24
If it doesn't work out today, we still have time to get something next week.
25
Let's see how we do today.
26
Yep.
27
Okay, let's go.
28
Sure, okay.
29
Hmm.
30
This is nice.
31
Hi guys!
32
Welcome to our store!
33
How can I help you?
34
Well, our friend, her name is Angie, is having a birthday next week.
35
and she loves your store a lot.
36
Can you help us pick out some clothes for a present?
37
Well, I will certainly try.
38
Why don't you start by telling me a little about your friend?
39
while she's turning 26.
40
She's about your height and about your shape.
41
She likes a lot of color in her clothes.
42
She likes things that are a little unusual.
43
You know, bright and colourful but not too weird.
44
But because it's summer, we have lots of colourful shirts and T -shirts, also some jeans and slacks, and some light summer sweaters.
45
Then of course there are the scarves, shoes and hats that can go with them.
46
Well, we're not used to buying clothes for girls, so let's keep this simple.
47
Sure, fellas.
48
Let's start with a shirt or a blouse first.
49
And then we can build an outfit for her.
50
Let me show you a few summer prints over here, and then you can tell me what should be next.
51
What do you think of this pink shirt?
52
Yeah, that looks like something she'd wear, doesn't it?
53
Yes.
54
How about if...
55
We'd put this shirt...
56
underneath it.
57
Hey, good idea.
58
It would look like this.
59
That is really nice.
60
Or your friend Angie, does she like to wear jeans or is she more likely to wear khakis or even white slacks?
61
If you put the shirt and blouse, With Thank you.
62
some jeans or some khakis and then some white pants, we could get a good idea.
63
Guys, I think your friend Angie is very lucky to have three friends like you.
64
My friends would never spend so much time to buy a gift for me.
65
Well, Angie is a really great person.
66
I noticed these belts.
67
They're really nice.
68
I think Angie would like one with her jeans.
69
What do you think, guys?
70
Yeah, this is easier than I thought.
71
Jeans, T -shirt, blouse, and now this belt.
72
It's all coming together.
73
OK guys, just a minute.
74
We just got these sweaters in today.
75
Let me show you how she could wear the sweater or wrap it round her shoulders when it's chilly.
76
Hey, your ideas are very good.
77
Thanks, I like working here and I like putting different outfits together for my customers.
78
Hey, guys.
79
- Look at this shirt, it's just like hers.
80
Um.
81
Do you mean hers or Angie's?
82
Hers!
83
Do you think Angie would like it?
84
Yeah, it looks great on her and I think that Angie would like it too.
85
I'm glad you like this shirt, it isn't mine.
86
My roommate bought it here.
87
and I'll wear it sometimes.
88
It's great colour.
89
Let's get that 2 for Angie.
90
So guys, now you've got two shirts, a blouse, a pair of jeans and a belt.
91
And what about the sweater I mentioned?
92
Yeah, we like that too.
93
So whose idea was it to come here today?
94
It was his idea to show off the clothes.
95
I'm very glad to have helped you guys today, It's been my pleasure.
96
Now let's get these paid for and we'll help wrap for your friend.
97
I hope her birthday is a great one.

¿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.
