My room?

25
Shall I run through the basics of hospitality again, Henry?

There should be a lure about who gets to stay in your room.
29
She's gonna spy on my things, play with my toys, read my comics!
30
Thanks so much for having Margaret to stay.
31
She's such a little angel.

May I take those?

You're sleeping in Henry's room, but don't worry.
37
I've cleaned it.
38
She'll be no trouble.

Margaret's always polite, eats everything and never complains.

Good as gold, aren't you precious?
41
See you in a week's time.

Henry.
43
Margaret.

I'm the guest, so you'd better be polite.
45
Show me to my room!
46
It's my room!
47
We hope you'll be very comfortable here, Margaret.
48
There's too much dust.
49
I'm allergic to dust.
50
Achoo!

Oh dear.
52
Well, don't worry.

I'm hungry.
58
Fine.
59
We'll eat early.
60
Phew.
61
Watch out!
62
Peter, those things belong to our guest.
63
You should be more careful.
64
Oh! For you, Margaret.
65
I don't like sprouts, and I like my corn off the cob.
66
Fine, give it to me.
67
And put the corn on a separate plate.
68
I don't like vegetables touching my meat.
69
Yeah, and put Margaret in a separate room.
70
I don't like looking at her.
71
Ouch!
72
Henry kicked me!
73
No, I didn't!
74
This is so embarrassing.
75
Don't be horrid, Henry.
76
Henry?
77
When I'm king, I'll show Rudy Margaret who's.. who's.. king!
78
Henry, stop playing with your food.
79
Henry?
80
You've already lost your pocket money for one month, Henry.
81
We can make it two if you don't start behaving now.
82
Good night, Bunny.
83
Good night, buddy.
84
Oh, yuck.
85
Margaret.
86
Get it all.
87
Margaret did this, Peter.
88
Why don't you tell Mum and get Margaret into trouble for a change?
89
Tell my guest.
90
I couldn't.
91
It's bad manners.
92
Bad manners?
93
You're a wormy worm.
94
She's in there snooping through all my stuff!
95
Eureka!
96
That's it!
97
Yes!
98
Marlott is our guest.
99
If she wants to snoop, then it's my duty to make it easier for her.
100
Tomorrow is going to be the return of Henry!
101
What?
102
What?
103
What?
104
Stop it!
105
Stop it at once!
106
Oh, for goodness sake, it's six o'clock in the morning I always wake up at six o'clock
107
And I always practice before breakfast Fine,
108

109
All clear.
110
Operation Bye-Bye Margaret is a go.
111
Urgh!
112
Girl stuff in my room!
113
Hey, what are you doing?
114
Nothing, erm, nothing.
115
I'm just writing in my diary.
116
Diary?
117
Huh, I didn't know you had a diary.
118
It's secret, my secret thoughts.
119
Not to be read by the likes of you, which is why I keep it in this box, which I lock with this key.
120
And that's where it stays.
121
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have teeth to clean.
122
Once a snoop, always a snoop.
123
Dear Diary, I'm really, really worried that she's going to put Peter in the rubbish bin.
124
Peter would never tell on a guest, so I'd be blamed and really, really punished.
125
My life would be over and it'd all be Margaret's fault.
126
When I said your wish is my command, this wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
127
What are you going to do?
128
Tell?
129
I could never tell on a guest.
130
Good.
131
Watch your fingers.
132
Oh, over here!
133
Don't forget this one!
134

143
Peter!
144
Peter!
145
Operation Bye Bye Margaret!
146
Phase 3!
147
Henry, I warned you what would happen if you did this again I didn't do it, ask Peter who did it Well?
148
Um, remember, never tell on a guest Remember, never tell a lie You're right,
149
I have to tell the truth It was Margaret Margaret?
150
How could you be so hurried?
151
You set me up.
152
And why did you throw my stuff out the window?
153
I did what?
154
You did what?
155
This is disgraceful behaviour, young lady.
156
If your parents were here, you would be on your way home.
157
Hold that thought.

¿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.
