George decided to keep looking for his new friend. At least...
2
Well, I agree with you!
3
I don't think it's better.
4
What if I can make you...
5
He's happy with you...
6
Ugh...
7
It looked like George's friend wanted to play. And George was it.
8

9
And now nobody could pull us apart Companions through and through That's me and you

13
And now nobody could pull us apart Companions through and through That's me and you
14
Charky!
15
Where are you?
16
This exhibit needs a map.
17
Charky!
18
Charky!
19
Charky!
20
Charky!
21
Charky!
22
Whoa!
23
Hang on.
24
You moved.
25
Museum displays don't just move around.
26
Unless...
27
I drill!
28
Help him, Margaret!
29
Exploring sure made a monkey hungry.
30
George's friend was hungry too.
31
He didn't like apples.
32
And he didn't seem to find anything else he wanted to eat either.
33
George knew you had to look both ways before crossing traffic.
34
The stegosaurus was an herbivore.
35
That means it ate plants, not other dinosaurs.
36
George wondered what other nice dinosaurs he could introduce his friend to.
37
Triceratops means three horned face.
38
The Barosaurus's long neck helps him reach high leaves.
39
The Tyrannosaurus Rex was one of the most fearsome dinosaurs of all.
40
Phew!
41
At least his friend finally found something he liked to eat.
42
It was a dinosaur bird, and its head was stuck.
43
Ah!
44
Huh?
45
Ah!
46
Ah!
47
Ah!
48
Ah!
49
George's friend
50
might have been a picky eater.
51
Until he found something he liked.
52
Back at the nest, the mama wondered where her baby was.
53
It wasn't like him to go far.
54
Was that his mother calling?
55
It must be time to go home.
56
Only, which way was home?
57
They'd come a long, long way.
58
And then George saw it.
59
A Baranosaurus.
60
They passed him on the way here.
61
The Tyrannosaurus Rex was a feared predator.
62
A T-Rex!
63
They passed him before too.
64
Shhh!
65
Once he got home, they'd have to pass him again.
66
The Tyrannosaurus Rex was a feared predator.
67
The Tyrannosaurus Rex was a feared predator.
68
They made it past the Berosaurus.
69
Then came the Triceratops. And then the Stegosaurus.
70
They were getting closer.
71
Now they just had to cross the Dinosaur Highway away
72
Unfortunately rush hour
73
Everything looked the same.
74
George couldn't tell which way to go.
75
Maybe he could see the way back to the nest from up there
76
But all he saw was more grass
77
It was George's bird friend George recognized that volcano.
78
It was near the nest.
79
George
80
and his friend continued retracing their steps.
81
I've known you a while, but you were always a stranger.
82
So full of style, a real game changer.
83
Since we've been hanging around a bit, I've got something I must admit.
84
I don't have anyone like you.
85
You're my best friend.
86
They made it to the edge of the forest.
87
They were almost home now.
88
That's me and you.
89
He'd done it.
90
He'd found the nest.
91
Bum-bum!
92
Bum-bum!
93
Bum-bum!
94
Bum-bum!
95
Bum-bum!
96
Where was the dinosaur's mama?
97
Bum-bum!
98
Bum-bum!
99
Bum-bum-bum!
100
At least they found Charky!
101
Bum-bum-bum!
102
Bum-bum-bum!
103
Bum-bum-bum!
104
Bum-bum-bum-bum!
105
Charky?
106
I thought I'd never find you!
107
Uh oh!
108
George, come here, quick!
109
Remember what you were saying before about this being real?
110
Uh huh!
111
It is!
112
That's a real dino over there!
113
Back away, George!
114
Back away!
115
Uh...
116
George?
117
Is this what I think it is?
118
Awww!

¿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.
