So what do you usually do in winter?

In the evening, we have dinner at my sister's house.

Well, I wear this hat every day.

Lovely.

See you after my holiday.

Right, it's always hot and sunny in Cairo.
24
Usually, But not always.
25
Once in 100 years, there's snow.
26
Wow, and what about this year?
27
Just hot.
28
So what's your advice for tourists in Egypt in the spring or summer?
29
wear a hat, and drink lots of water.
30
Don't worry about snow boots for another hundred years.
31
Thanks, Sam.

I'm in Argentia, Newfoundland in Canada.
37
But I can't see you.
38
This is my view.
39
Ah, there you are.
40
There's a lot of fog.

It's like this 200 days a year, even in the spring and summer.
42
Wow.

The weather report says Saturday, Sunday and Monday fog.
44
On Tuesday, a great day.
45
Fog in the morning and a little sun in the afternoon.
46
It's always like this.
47
Do you like living there?
48
Sure.
49
I get about 100 days of sun a year, so I'm okay.
50
And it's warm and sunny over in the next town today, so I can have dinner there.
51
Thanks Jenny and enjoy Tuesday.
52
Bye.
53
Well, Ethan, I think people enjoy all kinds of weather.

¿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.
