1
Christmas What usually comes to mind when you think of Christmas?
2
Santa Claus, snow, bright lights, pine trees, Christmas carols.
3
Many people say that it just doesn't feel like Christmas without snow.
4
To followers of the Christian faith, however, Christmas has a more holy meaning.
5
To them, it is the day when Jesus Christ was born.
6
However, Jesus was born in Israel, which was desert land, and therefore there couldn't have been any snow on that day.
7
In addition, the warm and dry climate of Israel makes it difficult for pine trees to grow.
8
So how did the image of Christmas become something completely different from its original image?
9
After the Europeans adopted Christianity, they began to mix the meaning of Christmas with the image of wintertime in their own climate.
10
They cut pine trees, which can be easily found in Northern Europe, and decorated them with colorful ornaments.
11
With the passage of time, Europeans spread Christianity to countries all around the world.
12
That is why today, when people think of Christmas, they picture snow and pine trees in their minds.
13
This is a nice example of how the image of a certain holiday can change according to the culture that adopts it.

¿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.
