1
4. A.
2
I've found the Titanic.
3
A. As a boy, Robert Ballard liked to read about shipwrecks.
4
He read a lot about the Titanic.
5
My lifelong dream was to find this great ship, he says.
6
B. On August 31st, 1985, Ballard's dream came true.
7
He found the wreck of the Titanic.
8
The ship was in two main parts lying four kilometers under the sea.
9
Using video cameras and an undersea robot, Ballard looked around the ship.
10
He found many items that told the sad story of the Titanic's end.
11
For example, he found a child's shoes, a reminder of the many deaths that happened that night in 1912.
12
C. In 1986, Ballard visited the Titanic again.
13
This time, he reached the ship in a small submarine.
14
A deep-sea robot took photos inside the ship.
15
When other people saw the photos, they wanted to visit the ship too.
16
D. When Ballard returned in 2004, he found the Titanic in very bad condition.
17
Other explorers had taken away about 6,000 items like clothes, dishes and shoes.
18
Some even took pieces of the ship.
19
They think these things should be moved to a safer place, but Ballard doesn't agree.
20
E. Ballard believes that taking things from the Titanic is wrong.
21
Instead, he wants to put lights and cameras on and around the shipwreck.
22
This way, people can see the great ship and remember what happened to it.
23
As long as she needs protection, says Ballard, the Titanic will always be part of my life.

¿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.
