You know, I'd really like to buy one of those mountain bikes.
14
Well, what's stopping you?
15
Do you know how much they cost?
16
At least £300.
17
Where can I find that kind of money?

You could save the money.

If you save £5 a week, you'll have enough money in about six months.
35
That won't help me get to college next term.
36
I really think you should learn to save some money.
37
I'll tell you what I'll do.
38
If you manage to save £100, I'll give you the rest.
39
That way you'll be riding a new bike in a few months.
40
Go and get the old one repaired and bring the bill to me.
41
Thanks, Mum.
42
I suppose I'll just have to ride my old bike for a little longer.
43
I must say I had hoped to be able to get a new one straight away.

It's going to take me ages to save up.

¿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.
