Track 45 Hillcrest Academy Special Memories Anya,
2
age 13 My special memory is from when I was three years old.
3
We were staying with my grandparents at their house in the country.
4
They lived in an old wooden house.
5
I remember the house was always cold and it was near a forest.
6
When it was time for bed, Grandma took me upstairs to read me a story.
7
On my bed, there was a lovely wool blanket.
8
It was really colourful.
9
I remember touching it and it was so, so soft.
10
It's yours.
11
I made it for you, my Grandma said.
12
I still have the blanket on my bed at home.
13
It looks really small there, but I remember when I was younger it seemed so big.
14
Pete, age 14.
15
My special memory isn't from very long ago.
16
I was opening presents on my 13th birthday.
17
My older brother gave me a large box.
18
It was very hard.
19
What could it be?
20
I opened it and felt inside.
21
I'm blind, so I needed to touch everything because I can't see.
22
It was smooth and round.
23
I remember thinking, it's a leather football and feeling upset.
24
I can't play football because I can't see the ball.
25
I picked it up.
26
It felt quite heavy and and it made a noise.
27
My brother told me it was a special football for blind people.
28
There are little metal balls inside that make a noise when someone kicks or throws it.
29
Perfect!
30
Now I play football all the time.
31
You will hear Carmen talking to Murat about some things she has found in her grandparents' house.
32
Who does each thing belong to?
33
I'm looking for a small wooden clock.
34
It belongs to my grandad and he says I can paint it.
35
I think it's in this box.
36
Let's have a look.
37
Oh, here's a heavy old computer.
38
Is that your grandma's?
39
Actually, it's my aunt's.
40
She doesn't use it anymore, though.
41
And this old hat's cool.
42
Is it your mother's?
43
That was a present from my mum to my uncle.
44
He never liked it.
45
Oh, look, a toy bear.
46
Oh, it's really soft.
47
Is this your baby cousin's?
48
That's my brother's.
49
My dad gave it to him when he was little.
50
Oh, and look at this painting.
51
Oh, I painted that and I gave it to my dad when I was about eight.
52
I don't know why it's here.
53
It's lovely.
54
And what's this?
55
Oh, it's a colourful cotton jacket.
56
Is it yours? That thing?
57
That's not mine.
58
My aunt gave it to my grandma.
59
Well, the box is empty now.
60
The clock isn't here.
61
Oh, no. Carmen?
62
Yes?
63
What's that on the wall?
64
Huh?
65
It's the clock!
66
Thanks, Murat.

¿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.
