it's going to be very heartfelt like i'm just writing a card to the place and to my colleagues that i worked with so i don't think it's that deep just pick one please.

This is actually kind of cute and I think it would fit with the aesthetic of the GP that I'm working in because everyone in the GP practice that I'm working in are women.
29
All the workers, all my colleagues are women except the pharmacist but you know it's a women run family practice for that reason I think they would appreciate some flowers.

46
Let's put these upstairs in the kitchen area slash break room.

48
This is your last day.
49
13 patients to see today.
50
And...
51
no.
52
Okay, I thought they gave me a home visit.
53
Whenever they gave me a home visit, which means seeing the patient in their home, that just takes my whole lunch break and I can't get a chance to have a lunch.
54
And then I get a migraine.
55
I'm glad they didn't give me a home visit on my last day.
56
Yeah, thankfully.

63
I've successfully finished GP, yay!
64
One of the best things about family medicine or GP is how much teaching and research it involves and I wanted to show you how I created visuals for my research write-up using Gamma Imagine,
65
saving me so much time and probably had some role in impressing my supervisor.
66
So this was my actual research project and I wanted to add a polished chart to present my data.
67
But designing visuals manually is time consuming and when I try to do it, it just never looks that good.
68
So instead, I just told Gamma exactly what I wanted and what my results were and it instantly generated multiple visuals for me to choose from and I could tweak colours, get creative with the style.
69
It's basically your own AI design partner for any visuals you need.
70
and then I just export the image and add it to my research report just like that.
71
Super quick and easy.
72
You can try Gamma Imagine for yourself at gamma.app We're in Oxford!
73
I had a couple of days off before starting my new rotation at the hospital so I wanted a bit of a scenery change thank you have you been here before?
74
you know I haven't true fair enough but maybe they don't know if you have what happened right?
75
I think you'll enjoy it more than wherever you've not been in oh god it's so nice today so sunny
76
Can we get a large cup with pistachio, Dubai and strawberry cheesecake?
77
It's okay.
78
Why should we eat it?
79
If you're not cold you can sit outside.
80
Oh no, it's raining!
81
Oh my god, it's hailing!
82
It's not in my brain!
83
Wow!
84
That's crazy.
85
The Dubai chocolate one is so nice and it's like a huge chunk of chocolate
86
I'm trying to understand what's happening here right now.
87
Yeah So many different things going on at the same time, right?
88
There's so many different shows and I'm trying to understand what's so special about today like is that like a national Like what is going on?
89

¿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.
