Track 16.

Hi guys, it's me again, Jeff.
3
Can you let me know when you've received this message?
4
I've just realised that I probably won't be able to be there at the start of the competition, because I have an appointment that I can't cancel,
5
so I'm going to tell you what event I want each of you to organise during the day, just so that you know.
6
I've tried to work it out so that each of you can be in charge of the event you prefer, as far as possible.
7
So, first of all, the morning.
8
Now, Steve and Amanda, I know that you both like badminton, and Amanda, you used to do gymnastics, so I know you'd be happy with either,
9
but I have to make sure of the best arrangement on the day.
10
Amanda, if I remember rightly, you also once did some training in the rules of badminton, so it might be best if you take that on, rather than the gymnastics.
11
It will be useful to have you there to help with judging line calls and so on.
12
That means either you, Steve, or you, Malik, with the gymnastics.
13
Either of you is capable of doing that, but that leaves the weightlifting.
14
Both of you do a lot of the general training in our sports centre, but this is a bit more specialist in terms of getting the weights right for each competitor.
15
Okay, for the moment, I'll put Steve in charge of the gymnastics, and Malik can take care of the weightlifting in the morning,
16
as I think you have just that bit more experience of dealing with weights, Malik.
17
For the afternoon, I know Amanda and Malik would both love to do the basketball, as you both play it, but Malik, you're already doing the weightlifting,
18
so perhaps Amanda, you can do the basketball.
19
Actually, no. I've just thought.
20
I'm pretty certain I'll be in for the afternoon.
21
So Malik, you won't need to do the weightlifting then.
22
How about you do the basketball, Malik?
23
Then I can take over the weightlifting in the afternoon, as I'm particularly keen on that, as you all know, and I'd like a chance to get involved with it.
24
So then, Amanda, you can do the table tennis, but that leaves Steve without anything.
25
No, that's okay actually, if we leave it at that.
26
Steve, you can be available to help wherever you're needed in the afternoon.
27
And if something happens and I can't make it in the early afternoon, you can take care of the weightlifting till I arrive.
28
Though I don't think there'll be any problems.
29
Okay, if you need to check on anything, call me on my mobile.
30
Otherwise, see you next week.
31
I think we're going to have a great day.

¿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.
