1
Where were you when you can fill in the blank?
2
A big moment in history, a small moment on the playground, in a bar, on the subway,
3
a time when someone needed help,
4
needed your help, needed you to stand up. Did you? Did you stand up?
5
Did you do something?
6
Did you say something?
7
You don't have to.
8
You can look away.
9
Put your head down.
10
Cross the street.
11
You can stay home and lock your doors.
12
There is no law that says you have to do anything to prevent a crime.
13
And if Jared Nash hadn't sat there eating cereal and watching the light die from Christine Campbell's eyes...
14
Then we wouldn't be here today.
15
You don't have to help the victim, but you cannot help the perpetrator.
16
That is what you cannot do, and that is why we're here, because that is what Mr. Nash did do.
17
Missed prison of a felony is a crime as old as this court, and it requires that the government prove four essential elements.
18
One, that the principal committed and completed the felony alleged.
19
Well, we know that.
20
Brad Hargrove has pleaded guilty to murdering Christine Campbell.
21
Two, that the defendant had full knowledge of that fact.
22
That also is not a question.
23
Jared Nash has admitted he knew, and the defense does not contest that he knew Brad Hargrove killed Christine Campbell.
24
Three, that the defendant failed to notify the authorities.
25
This, too, is not in dispute.
26
Jared Nash proudly did not notify authorities.
27
And four, that he took an affirmative step or steps to conceal the crime of the principal.
28
We're here on that question and that question alone.
29
And on that question, the evidence is clear.
30
At the exact time Hargrove was beating Ms. Campbell to death, Jared Nash turned up his music.
31
So loud, you could hear nothing else in that building.
32
He did this to conceal the screams of Christine Campbell.
33
He did this to conceal this crime.
34
Where were you when Christine Campbell was dying?
35
Most of you were at home, asleep.
36
Some of you may have been working or out or out.
37
You didn't know her.
38
You couldn't see her, you couldn't hear her.
39
You couldn't help her. But you can now.
40
You are here now. And she needs you.

¿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.
