Unit 8.
2
B. The Seven Ravens A once upon a time there lived a man and a woman who had seven sons.
3
The couple wanted a daughter and eventually they had a girl who they loved very much.
4
One day the father needed water for the child, so he sent the seven brothers to a well in the forest to get it.
5
Once there though, the boys began to fight and the water jug fell into the well.
6
The boys did not know what to do.
7
They were afraid to go home.
8
Bee hours passed.
9
Where are those boys? shouted the angry father.
10
They are probably playing a game and forgot about the water.
11
I wish they were all turned into ravens.
12
When he looked up, he saw seven black birds flying away.
13
The father was shocked.
14
What have I done? he thought.
15
But it was too late.
16
He could not take back his words.
17
See, in time the girl grew up and discovered she had brothers.
18
The story of their misfortune affected her greatly, and she was determined to find them.
19
For years she searched and did not stop.
20
Finally she found their home.
21
To enter she needed a special key made from a chicken bone, which she did not have.
22
The girl thought for a moment, and then took a knife and cut off one of her fingers.
23
With it she opened the front door and went inside.
24
On a table there were seven plates and seven cups.
25
She ate and drank a little from each of them.
26
In the last cup she accidentally dropped a ring that her parents had given her.
27
Titi eventually the ravens returned for their meal.
28
The girl hid behind a door and watched.
29
When the seventh raven drank from his cup, something hit his mouth.
30
The raven recognized it immediately.
31
It was his parents' ring.
32
I wish our sister were here, he said, and then we could be free.
33
Their sister quickly ran to them, and suddenly the ravens were human again.
34
The brothers kissed their sister, and they all went home together happily.

¿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.
