How are you getting to college?
13
It's already five to nine.
14
You've missed the bus.
15
Are you going to walk?
16
No. I'm borrowing your car, remember?
17
Oh, Matthew, I need it today.
18
If you want to borrow the car, you need to ask me several days before.
19
Sorry, you're going to have to walk.
20
It just isn't convenient today.
21
But I did ask you.
22
We talked about it last week, don't you remember?
23
I've promised to help Alan move all his books and things after my lecture today.
24
He's moving to a new flat and his car's broken down.
25
I've got to help him move his things.
26
He can't stay in the old flat after today.
27
I promised him.
28
All right, all right.
29
Of course you must keep your promise.
30
I remember now you did tell me, but I thought you said next Wednesday.
31
You said the 9th, and that's next week when I'm in Birmingham for a meeting, so I shan't need the car.
32
I didn't ask for it next Wednesday.
33
I've got an exam next Wednesday.
34
I can't help Alan when I'm doing an exam, can I?
35
No, I suppose not.
36
Well, I expect you're right.
37
I didn't write it down, so it's my fault.
38
Next time, we must both write it down and make sure we write down the same date.
39
OK.
40
So, can I have it today?
41
I need to go or I'll miss my lecture.
42
Well, what am I supposed to do?
43
I need to be at work in half an hour.
44
Well, I'll give you a lift there on my way to college.
45
How about that?
46
I suppose I haven't got much choice.
47
Come on, then.
48
Now listen again.

¿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.
