Music Welcome to Storyline Online, brought to you by the SAG -AFTRA Foundation.
2
I'm Bryan Cranston, and today I'm going to read Professor Nincompoop, written by Jimmy V and illustrated by Ben Askew.
3
"Have I told you about my most impressively impressive discovery ever?" "No, Professor," Nick replied.
4
"But we watch your videos," Tess said.
5
"Of course you do!
6
I'm amazingly amazing !" "My discovery started here in one of the deepest
7
and darkest parts of the world !" "But pardon me, Professor, you know that's your closet, right?" Right?
8
Precisely, Tess.
9
I never travel without my trusty suitcase,
10
especially when I'm searching for an animal so mysteriously mysterious that only other animals know where it lives.
11
And with your help, I will reveal it and get my picture in the Professor's Hall of Fame.
12
My lifelong dream.
13
And we'll be the first to see it, right?
14
Right -o -neek?
15
And we'll get to take a selfie with it?
16
Indeed -es.
17
Wait, if only other animals know where to find this creature, how did you find it, Professor?
18
My dear boy, I speak 743 different animal languages.
19
And I'm even half fluent in flea.
20
I chatted with some cheetahs in Chan.
21
Meow meow, me me mo.
22
Bantered with baboons in Borneo.
23
Oh, ah, oh, oh, oh.
24
And palavered with porcupines in Peru.
25
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.
26
Did they really tell you where to go, Professor?
27
exactly where to go, but before I could capture the critter, beastly beasts surrounded me.
28
Thanks!
29
I thought I was doomed.
30
Um, it doesn't look very scary to me, Professor.
31
Silly Nick, they were viciously vicious.
32
I only escaped thanks to my cat -like reflexes and my lucky suitcase.
33
Professor, Tess asked.
34
I walk right up to the critter.
35
It was massively massive!
36
Professor, it...
37
Doesn't look very big.
38
Tess, it was huge!
39
For its size.
40
Were you scared, Professor?
41
Of course not, my boy.
42
You can't scare an income poop.
43
I channeled my training in, I don't know, Taekwondo.
44
And after the scuffle, I lugged the beast home.
45
In a bicycle basket, Tess said?
46
We know you're making this up, Nick added.
47
Your conclusions are cabbywampus.
48
This story is indeed true and this species is indeed new.
49
Here are the facts.
50
Fact 1: Face like a panda.
51
Fact 2: Tail like a poodle.
52
Fact 3: Smells like chicken poop in a chicken coop.
53
Tess quirked an eyebrow.
54
"You can't be serious." Are you even a real professor?
55
Deep press.
56
Count to ten.
57
Bing, bing.
58
Yoga pose.
59
Professor Nincompoop is a scholar.
60
Not a liar.
61
I have incredibly credible degrees.
62
And I'm even on the Internet.
63
Everyone's on the Internet, Professor.
64
Oh!
65
This is scientific fact.
66
I'll prove it.
67
Behold!
68
The Panda Poodle Cuckadoodle!
69
We know that's not a panda or a poodle, and it doesn't smell like chicken poop or chicken coop.
70
Nick's brows knitted together.
71
Yes.
72
But, they do like to cuddle and take selfies, Tess giggled.
73
Smile, Professor.
74
Snap!
75
Is that for the famously famous Professor's Hall of Fame?
76
No, Professor, it's for the awesomely awesome Pets' Wall of Fame.
77
Indubitably, my lifelong dream.
78
Nincompoop is never wrong.
79
But, sometimes I must admit, I'm not quite right.
80
Come on, Lewis!
81
Let's go, Clark!
82
We'll find that elusively elusive critter and get into that Professor's Hall of Fame someday.
83
But at least we had some fun.
84
Made new friends and got our picture on the Pets' Hall of Fame.
85
Oh, Daddy loves his fuzzy little babies.
86
Thank you.
87
Professor Nincompoop.
88
That was fun to read.
89
And it reminded me of talking to friends when I was growing up about what was real and what was make -believe.
90
And it's good to have both, but it's also good to know when someone is making something up or when it's an actual true story.
91
So this book reminded me of that.

¿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.
