1
It's 1216 Rosella Drive, Scottsdale, Arizona, 85262.
2
1216. Okay, because the application I'm looking at today clearly gives the address as 1216.
3
1216, that's correct, sir.
4
But in the original submission, we're seeing 1261 Rosella Drive.
5
It is 1261.
6
1261. I think if you double -check, you'll see that 1216 is correct.
7
There seem to be two different addresses here.
8
Mr. Commissioner, I have a copy of our Notice of Intent, which was published in newspapers in Arizona and New Mexico.
9
It clearly states the address is 1261 Rosella Drive.
10
Mr. Commissioner, it...
11
1261 Rosella Drive.
12
Yes, I have a copy of the Notice of Intent, too.
13
But on the actual filing, the address reads 1216. So, which is it?
14
Mr. Commissioner, if I may confer with my clients?
15
Certainly, please.
16
It's absolutely 1261.
17
You are mistaken, and with all due respect, you're muddying the waters here.
18
Muddying the water?
19
Look.
20
Just look.
21
Well, this is clearly an error.
22
It's 1261.
23
I know where my own damn bank is.
24
Oh, let's just all calm down.
25
I'm sure we can straighten this time.
26
I've got a billiard remodel at 1261 Rosella.
27
I don't know where the hell 1216 is.
28
I -I don't quite understand.
29
12 -61.
30
12 -61.
31
Is this gonna be a problem?
32
Because I'm sure it won't be.
33
Um, Mr. Commissioner, I apologize.
34
Unaccountably, there appears to be a discrepancy in our filing.
35
So the correct address is the one that appeared in the notice of intent, the 1261?
36
It would seem so.
37
We'd like to request an adjournment of just a few minutes
38
so that we can amend the filing to reflect the correct address.
39
Well, I -I can give you an adjournment, uh, uh, but, uh...
40
Uh, I don't think we can get you back in today.
41
If I may, when do you think you might be able to schedule us?
42
I'm being told by staff that they've already done the research for 1216 Rosella Drive.
43
Our folks are going to have to go back to square one on the new address.
44
If we -we could obtain a provisional agreement today to allow the -the branch to open a meeting...
45
No, no. All due respect, it's up to you folks to submit accurate paperwork.
46
Maybe next time double -check.
47
Now, uh, the soonest we could revisit this matter, well, it looks like six weeks from Friday.
48
We.. we can't wait six weeks.
49
Mr. Commissioner, Mesa Verde has put effort and resources into preparing this branch to open immediately,
50
However unusual, provisional approval would be most appreciated, most welcome, time being of the essence.
51
Charles, I'm sorry.
52
I'll see you in six weeks.
53
That closes the matter for today.
54
Well, staff, please note that Mesa Verde will return in six weeks, at which time we will revisit this application.
55
That's on the schedule now.
56
And we'll have expedite all the additional research.
57
This is not possible.
58
This is not possible!
59
1261. No, no. Chuck.
60
I don't understand.
61
I don't understand.
62
It was 1216.
63
It was.
64
I checked.
65
I double -checked.
66
Chuck, it happened.
67
Now we take our licks and we move on.
68
This doesn't just reflect on you.
69
An office full of associates and paralegals let this get by.
70
I did too, for that matter.
71
It was 12 -16, I promise you.
72
Everyone makes mistakes.
73
This was no mistake.

¿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.
