Hello, I'm 13 years old and I go to Stanley School.

I'm in Form 3 and I'm really interested in science, but I find maths and especially English a bit hard.
12
I'm good at running and I've run for the school team in the 800 metres.
13
My dad sells farm machinery.
14
We live in the country about four miles from school, so I get to school by bicycle.
15
My uncle has a farm and I spend most of my free time helping out there.
16
He's got 50 cows and I like to help him with them.

I help to do the milking every Saturday and sometimes I have to clean the cow shed.

It's hard work, but it's good to see everything looking clean.

I'm looking forward to that.
23
On Mondays I go to the young farmers group which I've belonged to since I was 10.
24
It's mostly fun but we also learn things like how to look after animals properly.
25
I definitely want to work in the countryside when I leave school.
26
I wouldn't like to live in a town or sit in an office all day.

My father thinks I should work in his business, but I want to be like my uncle and have my own farm one day.

¿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.
