Taking photos?

I said get lost!

Consider yourself lucky and get lost.

Come on, honey.

Hey, Pierre, I don't get it.
29
Why do you park so far away?
30
You might as well be in another city.
31
Oh, Mr. Gibson, I'm really sorry.
32
It's not gonna happen again.
33
Okay, let's go to the office of late.
34
Yes.
35
Hey, what's this?
36
This, I'm not really sure,
37
you know, because there was not a spot in here before, so...
38
Man, I'm not paying you for excuses.
39
I'm gonna take care of it on my own expense, okay?

It's not gonna happen again.

You!

You again!

What the hell are you doing here?

I'm here for the interview, actually.
49
Interview?
50
Oh, Rebecca, are you here already?
51
This is Peter, my driver.
52
Have a seat.
53
Driver?
54
Well, nice to meet you, Peter.
55
Well, I must say I'm impressed with your resume.
56
Thank you, sir.
57
I imagine that you're a pretty good admin.
58
Admin?
59
Yes, Peter.
60
You'll both be working together to help an old man.
61
Do you have any specialized education in this field?
62
Actually...
63
Last time I checked, Peter,
64
you were my driver, not HR.
65
Rebecca, thanks for coming.
66
Consider that the job already in your pocket.
67
I'll give you a call.
68
Thank you, sir.
69
Have a nice day, Peter.
70
Sir, she cannot work here.
71
Why?
72
She's some poor girl.
73
Well, then I'll play the role of an excellent employer.
74
Mr. Gibson, please listen to me.
75
She doesn't belong here.
76
Please, let her take care of her kid, for example.
77
I don't know, something like...
78
A kid?
79
Yeah.
80
She doesn't have children.
81
I wouldn't even consider her condition as bad.
82
And then playing with a the child such a headache.
83
Please stop, okay?
84
Stop, please.
85
What's now?
86
I wanted to apologize for my behavior this morning.
87
I was a little bit too noisy at the interview.
88
Okay, your apology accepted.
89
Can I go now?
90
No, no, no, no. Wait, please.
91
I was really, really wrong, so...
92
Yes, you are.
93
Look up for it and I put in a good word for you to Mr. Gibson.
94
Are you kidding me?
95
No. And also, I'll show you the car of Mr. Gibson.
96
Thanks, but I don't need it.
97
Think about your kid.
98
Wouldn't he be happy to see a picture of his mother driving the car?
99
Huh?
100
Just a picture.
101
Oh snap, my phone is out of charge.
102
Can we use yours?
103
Yeah, sure.
104
You ready?
105
Um...
106
Yeah.
107
This is my car.
108
I'm so happy.
109
And one more.
110
Okay.
111
Oh, thanks.
112
That's enough.
113
Oh.
114
Uh, wait.
115
Here.
116
What is this?
117
This is the address of the car detail service and a car wash.
118
Few people know about them,
119
but they're really good in this city.
120
You helped me and I helped you.
121
Wow.
122
Thank you.
123
Thank you.
124
And really nice car.
125
Really nice car.
126
I had the same one before and Kevin really liked it.
127
I really like that.
128
Oh, by the way, thanks for not saying that I have a son.
129
For a single mom, it is really hard to find a job.
130
So what happened to the car?
131
Kevin became seriously ill, so I had to sell it to pay for his treatment.
132
But now he's fine, right?
133
Almost.
134
Thanks.
135
We still need the therapy and rehabilitation,
136
but since I had this job, everything's gonna be fine.
137
Yeah, everything's gonna be fine.
138
Oh, Mr. Gibson asking me to come back.
139
Maybe you're a little worried.
140
No, no, no, no, no,
141
no, no. Listen, you better not come there yet.
142
Why?
143
When I left, Mr. Gibson was in a really bad mood, so...
144
Come on, he's not calling me up to school me yet.
145
I'm just tired, isn't it?
146
Come on.
147
Why didn't you say I have a kid?
148
Sir, can I say something?
149
Shut up!
150
I'm not talking to you!
151
Excuse me, sir.
152
I really have a son,
153
but he's sick, and that's why I need this job.
154
Please give me a chance.
155
Sir, just one chance.
156
A chance?
157
Yes.
158
What did you say?
159
Yeah, when Peter dropped this photo to me,
160
I knew right away that you weren't going to be my admin.
161
You'll become the director of one of our branches.
162
Uh, but what?
163
But why, sir?
164
I want to prove that ordinary people like you can get high positions too.
165
I need a girl as smart as you holding a post of branch manager in the Northwest.
166
The Northwest?
167
This is the most problematic branch.
168
I'll announce you as the new manager at tomorrow's press conference.
169
Are you pleased?
170
Uh...
171
Sir, but this is somehow wrong, really.
172
I don't have this kind of experience, and maybe...
173
I'm obviously just taking someone else's place.
174
Maybe you will reconsider your decision and...
175
This is an approximate salary of our branch manager.
176
But.. that's.. that's a lot.
177
It's yours right now.
178
You sign a couple of papers,
179
And you can spend the rest of the time with your son.
180
This money will help him get back on his feet Yeah,
181
that's Thank you so much You don't even know how much it helps Thank you both of you See you tomorrow,
182
okay The Northwest is bankrupt She'll take all of the blame.
183
Well, yes.
184
This is part of my plan, Peter.
185
Plan?
186
Yes, North's branch is deep and deep.
187
I don't want to be responsible.
188
I didn't know who to set up.
189
You helped me.
190
Now.
191
This is this poor girl's problem.
192
This is terrible.
193
You can't do this.
194
What?
195
She's never had such money in her hand as I just gave her.
196
Let her thank me.
197
Tomorrow all the journalists will write that Michael Gibson appointed a single mom with a sick child as the branch manager.
198
It's gonna be huge.
199
My rating will skyrocket.
200
But, sir...
201
Don't worry, Peter.
202
I haven't forgotten about you.
203
You're the one who sent me those pics.
204
That's why you get a promotion.
205
Here it is.
206
Where you'll be next, Peter?
207
Choose.
208
I'm sorry.
209
My speech has come to an end,
210
but before we bring up the CEO of the company,
211
I'd like to announce some important news.
212
News that should blur the line between rich and poor.
213
The presentations got mixed up really bad,
214
so we need to run this quickly, okay?
215
I'd like to invite Rebecca Mitchell to the stage.
216
Well, we are all looking forward to it.
217
Regardless of status, all people deserve equal material benefits.
218
So I decided to give this girl a truly incredible gift.
219
Now, namely...
220
This is some kind of mistake.
221
Mr. Gibson, tell me, is this your first charity event?
222
Are you just helping to this family or do you plan to help to everyone?
223
Are you ready to sacrifice your career for charity?
224
And only one signature separates this boy from recovery.
225
I'm proud of you, Michael.
226
You'll regret this beer.
227
Don't doubt that.
228
Thank you so much, Mr. Gibson.
229
I don't have any words.
230
Me too.
231
I'm an ordinary driver, and I've always taken my cues from my boss, Mr. Gibson.
232
I've always thought that being rich is the most prestigious thing that you can do in life.
233
But it was Mr. Gibson,
234
actually, who taught me otherwise.
235
The most important thing in life is being kind.
236
Thank you, Mr. Gibson.
237
Thank you.
238
It is truly inspirational.
239
I also want to join Mr. Gibson's initiative and help this family.
240
Michael Gibson, as an encouragement,
241
I appoint you the manager of the Northwest branch of our company.
242
Congratulations.
243
That's what you wanted, right?
244
A new branch has a new manager.
245
Congratulations.

¿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.
