1
Now turn to part four, questions 20 to 25.
2
You will hear a conversation between a boy, Tom, and his sister, Claire, about school.
3
Now we are ready to start.
4
Listen carefully.
5
You will hear the recording twice.
6
Guess what, Claire?
7
I've been chosen for the school swimming team.
8
What do you think about that?
9
Well, I think it's great, but I'm sure Dad won't say the same when he finds out.
10
You know how he feels about you doing all this sport and not doing your schoolwork.
11
You'll never get all your homework done, especially if you have to travel to other schools for competitions.
12
It won't make any difference.
13
I can do my homework on the bus.
14
Honestly, Tom, you know what your teacher said to Dad last term?
15
You've got a good brain, and you could improve your marks at school if you spent a bit less time thinking about sport.
16
Sometimes I wonder if you ever think about anything else at all.
17
Well, I work hard at everything I like doing, not just sport.
18
I mean, take maths, for example.
19
OK, it's your life, but you know you have your examinations next year for college, and at most of the good colleges they have great sports facilities.
20
If you aren't accepted, then you'll have to find a job, and that won't be easy.
21
Oh, I've thought about that already.
22
I'm thinking of applying to do sports science at college, and someone told me some of the colleges often take students with lower marks if they're good at sport.
23
Well, I wouldn't depend on what one of your friends says if I were you.
24
For your information, it wasn't one of my friends, it was a teacher at school.
25
I'm only trying to help.
26
And anyway, it doesn't really matter what I say.
27
It's Dad you have to worry about.
28
Yes, OK.
29
I know you're right about that.
30
I'll have a chat with him tonight and explain things again.
31
Good luck.
32
Now listen again.
33
Guess what, Claire?
34
I've been chosen for the school swimming team.

¿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.
