1
How hot did the conversation get?
2
It got rather heated.
3
We were, you know, our voices were elevated and we were doing some yelling, Your Honor.
4
So I want you to tell me your version of what happened after you were screaming
5
and yelling at each other on the phone.
6
And it's clear that the front end of your vehicle assaulted the back end of her vehicle.
7
How that happened, you're going to tell me a different story.
8
You want to go over there and tell me your version of how it happened?
9
Well, not really, because her version's pretty accurate up until the point where I believe she intentionally started
10
and stopped at that particular intersection there because she had some defective taillights and she also had a situation where...
11
Okay, so you're changing your story now.
12
It's not that she pulled around in front of you and put on her brakes intentionally.
13
I was following her, Your Honor.
14
I understand that.
15
You say she pointed out a police car nearby At her request, I got between her and the police car to protect her from being pulled over because she had a broken taillight.
16
After the police car made a right turn and was no longer behind us, she took advantage of the situation and purposely slammed on her brakes, causing me to rear-end the car.
17
Absolutely.
18
Yeah.
19
Okay.
20
Not so.
21
It's your responsibility.
22
Now, because now you told me a different story.
23
A moment ago, you said you think she purposely started and stopped and started and stopped.
24
Well, if that's the case, then you have a responsibility as the driver in the rear to maintain enough of a distance
25
so that you don't hit her in the rear.
26
Your Honor, she intentionally did that.
27
I don't know whether she intentionally did that, whether she didn't, but all I can tell you is, you didn't tell me, sir, that she slammed on her brakes.
28
There was nothing in your conversation that said
29
that she pulled around in front of you and slammed on her brakes in order to cause an accident.
30
Now, you have a very large truck, is that right?
31
That is correct.
32
What kind of truck do you have?
33
I have a GMC pickup.
34
That's a huge truck.
35
And what kind of car does she drive?
36
A G6.
37
A G6.
38
What is that?
39
That is a Pontiac.
40
It's a car.
41
Is it a big car or a little car?
42
I would say it's a mid-sized car.
43
Much smaller than your car?
44
Much smaller.
45
Much smaller than your car.
46
And to your knowledge, Mr. Rausch, has Ms. Lloyd been psychiatrically hospitalized in the past five years?
47
No. No. So, in order for somebody to say, I'm going to slam on my brakes this huge truck that's
48
behind me slam into my car with a strong probability that I'm going to be injured by that, you have to have somebody that's really missing one from a six-pack.
49
Right?
50
You put that all together and I find that you're responsible for rear-ending her car.
51
Now, did he pay some to have it fixed?
52
Your Honor, in the accident, my taillights were smashed out, my trunk was caved in, and my bumper was cracked.
53
He did buy taillights, which you can see from this evidence that there's brand new taillights, but he did not buy anything else.
54
So he put it in.
55
Okay.
56
So do you have...
57
So I could legally drive it.
58
Do you have photograph of the car?
59
Yes.
60
I'd like to take a look at the photograph of the car.
61
Oh, yes.
62
Nobody does that so that you're going to smash into their car, Mr. Rauch.
63
Your Honor, she had a defective taillight situation going on in the back that she needed fixed.
64
They were not protective until he smashed it.
65
What did that have to do with smashing into the back of the car?
66
Well, she, I think she figured if I smashed into the back of the car
67
that I would have to address all those issues she was having back there.
68
You know, what kind of work do you do?
69
Electrical.
70
Yeah, she'd become a fiction writer.
71
Judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of 1356, which is the amount of the estimate.
72
Thank you, that's all.
73
Parties are excused, you may step out.

¿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.
