1
Happy birthday, dear Georgie.
2
Happy birthday to you.
3
Hey!
4
Aw!
5
Thank you guys so much.
6
Man, y'all my work busy.
7
Y'all always lose it down.
8
What are you doing standing around?
9
Get back to work.
10
Oh, um, sorry, Angela.
11
I mean, Mr. Williams.
12
They were just celebrating me and bringing me a cake for my birthday today.
13
Last time I checked, I don't pay you guys by the hour to sit around eating cake.
14
I'm not going to ask again.
15
I'd like to see you in my office.
16
Discuss your performance lightly.
17
Now!
18
What?
19
No way.
20
Come in.
21
Hey, sweetheart.
22
Sabrina let me in.
23
Oh, hey, Dad.
24
I brought you a little something for your birthday.
25
Thank you so much, Dad.
26
Your grandfather gave me this on my 21st birthday.
27
Okay, and now I'm giving it to you.
28
It's almost a hundred years old.
29
Oh, it's a watch.
30
Not just any watch, it's a very special watch, as you get to see.
31
Do you not like it?
32
Oh, it's not that.
33
I love it, Dad.
34
Thank you.
35
I just have a lot on my mind right now, that's all.
36
You want to talk about it?
37
Adam canceled our plans tonight.
38
30 minutes before we're supposed to go out to dinner.
39
I'm sorry.
40
Are you sure you should be with this guy?
41
I know it's not my place, but you complain about him all the time.
42
It seems like he doesn't treat you the way you deserve to be treated.
43
Yeah, I mean, he has his issues, but I don't know.
44
It's not just him.
45
My boss yelled at me today because I took literally two minutes to celebrate my birthday with some of my coworkers.
46
And then he pulled me aside to his office and he told me, I'm on my last straw.
47
It just hurts, you know?
48
I feel like I'm giving all of myself to this company.
49
I'm literally the hardest working person in that office.
50
But he pays me $13 an hour.
51
Minimum wage.
52
It's like whatever I do, he doesn't see my value, you know?
53
Sweetheart, do me a favor.
54
After work tomorrow, go buy that pawn shop on MLK and see how much they'll offer you for that watch.
55
Wait, why would I do that?
56
This was grandpa's.
57
And you just gave it to me for my birthday.
58
Just do it for me.
59
Let me know how much they offer you, okay?
60
Alright, Dad.
61
I will.
62
Let me walk you out.
63
Oh, sorry about the mess.
64
This is all Sabrina's stuff.
65
Is she not clean?
66
If it wasn't for me, this would be like an episode out of Hoarders, okay?
67
She literally doesn't lift a finger. So annoying.
68
But anyway, thank you for stopping by and for the gift.
69
I love you, sweetheart.
70
Happy birthday.
71
Thanks.
72
Sabrina!
73
Did you take my jacket without asking me?
74
It even has a stain on it!
75
Hey, how can I help you?
76
Yes, I'd like to see how much this watch is worth.
77
Alright.
78
Okay, let me take a look.
79
Okay.
80
Come on, come on, come on, I don't got all day.
81
Okay, there you go.
82
Mm-hmm.
83
I'll give you 150 for it.
84
That's it?
85
My dad said this is a very special watch.
86
It belonged to my grandfather.
87
Special to him?
88
Maybe.
89
Not here.
90
That's the best I can do.
91
Take it or leave it.
92
Alright.
93
Thanks.
94
Okay, I'm thinking the chocolate lava cake.
95
What do you think?
96
Mmm, yeah let's skip dessert.
97
I mean, I shouldn't be eating cake and honestly, you shouldn't either.
98
But it's my birthday.
99
Yesterday was, not today.
100
Well, we would have been having dinner yesterday had you not cancelled on me last second.
101
Are you even listening to me, Adam?
102
Adam, you've been on your phone all night.
103
Alright, phone's down.
104
What's up?
105
Hi, I'm taking over for Harold.
106
Is there anything that looks good?
107
Yeah, this sure is.
108
Sure is.
109
Oh, strawberry cake rack, Georgie.
110
Actually, we'll just take the check.
111
Thanks.
112
OK, no worries.
113
I can take this for you.
114
Thank you.
115
You are not going to believe this.
116
You know I left my wallet home.
117
I am so sorry, babe.
118
Look, I'm going to use a can.
119
I'll be right back, OK?
120
Hi, Dad.
121
Hey, honey.
122
Everything all right?
123
It's just Adam.
124
I'd rather not talk about it.
125
What's up?
126
Did you go to the pawn shop like I asked you?
127
Yeah, they said that they offered me $150 for the watch.
128
I'm kind of surprised it's not worth more.
129
It's not worth more or they didn't offer you more.
130
What's the difference?
131
Tomorrow, after work, take it to the high-end jewelry shop on Beverly and see what they're willing to offer you.
132
Is there a point to all this?
133
I really don't want to sell it.
134
Plus, I doubt that they'll offer much more.
135
Just take it, please.
136
It'll make sense soon.
137
Sure, Dad.
138
No problem.
139
I love you.
140
I love you, too.
141
Call me after you take it.
142
Okay.
143
Bye.
144
Bye, honey.
145
Happy birthday!
146
Thank you. Of course.
147
Enjoy.
148
Hi there.
149
Oh, hi.
150
Do you guys buy used watches?
151
Yes, we do.
152
Is there something I can help you with?
153
Yes.
154
I got this watch as a birthday present.
155
Supposedly it's over 100 years old.
156
Do you mind telling me what it's worth?
157
I haven't seen one of these in ages.
158
The thing is, it's really difficult to put an exact
159
price on it because these types of watches just don't come around very often.
160
Can you give me a ballpark of what it's worth?
161
I would be willing to...
162
I'd be willing to offer you $10,000 for it.
163
Wow.
164
Okay.
165
I think I'll hold on to it because it has sentimental value, but thanks for your time.
166
I understand.
167
Um, if you change your mind, you know where to find me.
168
Thank you.
169
Have a good day.
170
You too.
171
Hey.
172
Uh, are you cutting your toenails on the table?
173
Yeah? So?
174
Okay, that is gross, okay?
175
I eat on that table.
176
Sabrina, you've been saying that you're gonna clean up for weeks, okay?
177
This is all of your stuff.
178
I know, and I'm gonna do it.
179
I've just been like super busy.
180
Busy doing what?
181
Okay, you don't even have a job right now.
182
Exactly.
183
I've been really busy looking for a job.
184
Oh, that's rich.
185
That's a new one.
186
What's this?
187
It says our electric bill wasn't paid.
188
It's literally the only utility bill that you're in charge of.
189
I'm gonna do it.
190
Relax.
191
He is not a nice person.
192
Mom, because you're a janitor, does that mean I'm going to be on this?
193
No!
194
Not a sweetheart, unless you want to be.
195
Did you eat half of my pasta that was yours?
196
Well, considering that there's only two people that live here, whose else did you think it was?
197
My bad.
198
She was...
199
telling me to clean them up.
200
And you just left all the dirty dishes in the sink too?
201
I mean, classic.
202
I am just trying to watch TV peacefully, but I think I'll go upstairs since you're just picking on me for literally everything.
203
Don't leave your toenails there!
204
Sabrina!
205
Sabrina!
206
Hey, Dad.
207
Hi, honey.
208
Why the long face?
209
Oh, nothing.
210
Just roommate drama.
211
Nothing new.
212
Sorry to hear that.
213
So, did you take the watch to the jewelry store like I asked?
214
Yes, I did.
215
And you're not going to believe it.
216
They offered me $10,000 for it.
217
Way more than the other place.
218
I was actually thinking about selling it too, but I didn't have the heart to.
219
Well, I'm glad you didn't, because I have a friend who's a high-end art collector, and he's coming over later today.
220
I think you should show it to him so we can get his opinion on how much he thinks it's worth.
221
Okay, wait, what's the point of that?
222
Like, I already have a great offer on it, and it's not like I'm going to part ways with it anyway.
223
Just please, meet with him.
224
I won't ask you to do it again.
225
I promise.
226
Okay, Dad.
227
I'll come by in a bit.
228
I'll see you soon.
229
I love you.
230
Love you too.
231
Bye.
232
Sweetheart!
233
Hi, Dad. Did you bring it?
234
I did.
235
Perfect.
236
This is Alfredo, the friend I told you about.
237
Oh.
238
Hi.
239
Hi.
240
Hi.
241
I understand you have an interesting piece you want to show me.
242
Yes.
243
Let's take a look.
244
Uh-uh.
245
No. This can't be.
246
It is absolutely marvelous.
247
Do you have any idea how rare this is?
248
Um, yes.
249
I actually took it to a store and they offered me 10 grand for it for it.
250
That was so funny.
251
$10,000?
252
Yeah.
253
My dear, you must not have shown this to anyone that knows the true value of this watch.
254
Within a day, I could find 10 buyers willing to pay over $100,000.
255
Easy.
256
Uh, 100?
257
Yes.
258
Oh, yes.
259
No, that's 10 times more than what the last person offered me.
260
Well, it's a good thing your dad's friend's a collector knows what it's really worth, hmm?
261
Listen, there are only a few of these left in circulation in the whole world.
262
I'd hang onto it at all costs because a few years from now, it'll be worth double.
263
Thanks, Alfredo.
264
I appreciate you coming by.
265
I'm confused.
266
You knew that the watch was worth that much this whole time?
267
Then why'd you have me go and see all these other people?
268
Sit down, sweetheart.
269
You see, I wanted you to do all of that
270
because I wanted to teach you the same lesson my father taught me.
271
Only the right place can value you the right way.
272
I still don't get it.
273
The watch represents you, Georgie.
274
In life, sometimes you're going to find yourself in the wrong place.
275
And you may be upset because you're not being valued.
276
But the truth is only those who know your worth are capable of appreciating you.
277
So don't stay in a place where someone doesn't see your value.
278
Wait. Are you saying...
279
Your boss doesn't see your value, just like the pawn shop did.
280
Your roommate and your boyfriend don't see your value, just like...
281
The jewelry store didn't.
282
Precisely.
283
But Alfredo did.
284
So what I'm trying to teach you is your value doesn't decrease based on someone else's inability to see your worth.
285
You're special, just like this watch.
286
And you have to go to the right place to find someone who can truly appreciate how special you are.
287
Thanks, Dad.
288
Sometimes I play it safe And you can see it It's easy for me to show But sometimes I'm really brave
289
And that just means that I'll try again tomorrow It's my dark, the eight of mountains where the valleys used to be
290
Gotta change perspective if I really wanna see them Sunrise over the water,
291
I swam over and under Get lost in all the wonder, never call it quits When life hit me apart,
292
I went faster I just gotta remember I was made for this
293
I was made for this Sunrise over the water, I swam over and under Get lost in all the wonder,
294
never call it quit or slow When life hit me apart,
295
I went that soul farther I just gotta remember I was made for this Oh,
296
it's such a time as Lisa Oh,
297
I was made for this I looked him dead in his eye Dead enough?
298
And I said, you can go get it yourself.
299
No way.
300
No, you didn't.
301
No, I didn't.
302
With my chest in awe, OK?
303
I was through with him.
304
You know, sometimes I just wonder.
305
You're funny, you're smart, and you are absolutely beautiful.
306
How did I get so lucky to be with a girl like you?
307
Aw. So sweet.
308
Hey, you're Chad, right?
309
We went to high school together.
310
It's me, Janessa.
311
Yes, hey, how you been?
312
It's so good to see you.
313
Wow, you look amazing.
314
Um, this is actually my girlfriend, Georgie.
315
We're celebrating her birthday today.
316
Aw, happy birthday!
317
Can I get you something?
318
Dessert?
319
Cake, maybe?
320
Actually, I'm okay.
321
You sure?
322
On the house.
323
Yeah.
324
I'm trying to watch my face.
325
No, no, no, no, no. You gotta be kidding me.
326
You are absolutely perfect the way that you are.
327
Look at her.
328
Isn't she stunning?
329
I mean, picture perfect.
330
How in love.
331
Look, we'll get a chocolate lava cake with one scoop of vanilla ice cream.
332
Just what?
333
Oh, you want two scoops of vanilla ice cream?
334
That's my favorite.
335
I'm never gonna get it.
336
I love it.
337
Okay, I'll be right back with that guy.
338
Oh, and don't you even reach for that Wally.
339
This is all on me.
340
I got you.
341
Why are you smiling so hard?
342
It's nothing.
343
Feels good to be with someone who values me.
344
That's all.
345
I got you.
346
you

¿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.
