1
Five are the disease detective.
2
Six children were in the hospital.
3
They were C very sick, but the doctors didn't know what to do.
4
They called Dr Richard Besser, an expert on strange illnesses.
5
Finding a cause B first, Dr Besser needed to find the cause of the D illness.
6
He looked for germs in the children's bodies.
7
In every child, Dr Besser found the same type of the bacteria, E coli.
8
He then looked at the bacteria's DNA.
9
It showed him that type of E coli was dangerous.
10
See, Dr. Besser knew E coli could move from animals to humans.
11
Had the children touched animals that carried the bacteria?
12
Besser found other E coli cases in the area where the children lived, but it wasn't enough.
13
D. Besser then made a list of what the sick children had eaten.
14
They had all eaten cheese, apple juice and fish.
15
He then made a list of what healthy children in the area had eaten.
16
They had eaten the cheese and fish, but not the apple juice.
17
Case closed.
18
Besser went to where the apple juice was made.
19
He saw animals around the apple trees.
20
He also saw the workers using dirty apples that had fallen on the ground.
21
More importantly, he saw that the apples were not washed before the juice was made and that the juice was not heated.
22
Doing these things would kill the bacteria.
23
Besser then knew it was the apple juice that made the children sick.
24
F. Besser's E coli case had a happy ending.
25
The children got better.
26
And what Besser learned that day now helps keep others safe.

¿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.
