April 13, 2002.
179
Dwight, I'm in a meeting.
180
That's very rude.
181
I barge because I care.
182
April 13, 2002.

191
April 13, 2002.
192
That is the last day that you evaluated your paper needs.
193
Is it not?
194
We all know that the economy is bad and bloated companies like Dunder Mifflin are going to fall by the wayside.
195
Two of their branches have closed within the last year.
196
The Michael Scott Paper Company, however, has opened a new branch this very month.
197
What he's not telling you is that he will abandon you.
198

Thank you, Mr. Schofield, for your time.
207
Much appreciated.
208
Oh, and tell me, um, how's your gay son?
209
Excuse me?
210
I color code all my info.
211
I wrote gay son in green.
212
Green means go, so I know to go ahead and shut up about it.
213
Orange means orange and glad you didn't bring it up.
214
Most colors mean don't say it.
215
How is, uh, Tom, the homosexual sophomore?
216
Well, Pam and I have eloped.
217
Actually, we just robbed a bank, and we are on the lam.
218
Seriously, I am on a lecture circuit.
219
Apparently, Scranton has the best sales of any regional branch, so David Wallace has asked me to go to all the branches,
220
except Nashua, still a little bit raw there.
221
But I'm going to these branches and I'm telling them my secret recipe for success.
222
My 11 business herbs and spices in a sales batter.
223
Oh wow.
224
Ah, legs are sort of up.
225
Long drive in the car.
226
So let's just continue.

Okay.
229
Michael, get off the floor.
230
Yeah.
231
Yeah.
232
I can't do this, Pam.

Pronunciación a tener en cuenta
El hablante usa 47 contracciones y formas reducidas, como I'm, don't, can't. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.
- Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: friendship /ˈfɹɛn(d)ʃɪp/, reduction /ɹɪˈdʌk.ʃən/, delicious /dɪˈlɪ.ʃəs/, shout /ʃaʊt/, negotiation /nɪˌɡəʊ.ʃiˈeɪ.ʃən/

- s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: steal /stiːl/, scare /skɛɚ/, spice /spaɪs/, stockholder /ˈstɑk.hoʊl.dɚ/
- /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: provider /pɹəˈvaɪ.də(ɹ)/, evaluate /ɪˈvaljʊeɪt/, vodka /ˈvɑdkə/
- /dʒ/ — no es la “y” ni la “ch”: generous /ˈd͡ʒɛn(ə)ɹəs/, sociology /ˌsoʊsiˈɑləd͡ʒi/, barge /ˈbɑɹd͡ʒ/, jello /ˈd͡ʒɛloʊ/

¿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.
