There were some robberies up in some of the other properties, so I took a sweep for any Key Rocks yesterday.
14
And you just blipped up on security.

Oh, that's okay.
16
I got it.
17
Sure.
18
Code's 347 once you're in.
19
Uh, there was another renter, but I cleaned up after she...
20
Oh, well, that's, uh, I'm glad there's no one here then, so, um, thanks.
21
Uh, call.
22
My number's downstairs on the fridge.

53
All I got is tens or twenties.
54
Look, no one's gonna pay $2 .50 for the other half, and I hate quarters anyway, so...

82
Your resume looks great, but I gotta be honest with you, we heard things, Ravina, about your time with Henderson and Longworth.
83
Long absences, health problems, and anyway, bottom line, we're looking for someone with more corporate merger experience. But again,
84
I do think my work -processing naturalizations for corporate immigration clients will carry over nicely to more general contract law areas.
85
And a short -term contract basis, I agree, is probably the best way to start out on a new adventure into this sort of work.
86
Which I really did find interesting back in law school.
87
Okay.
88
We will keep that in mind.
89
We have a few more people to see, Raveena, and if your application makes it fit in the next phase, someone from our office will reach out.
90
Good luck.
91
Okay.
92
Bye.
93
The body evolved to hold you still during these waking dreams.
94
The mind creates perceptions to explain that paralysis.
95
That's the shadow man.
96
The subconscious imagines a body, your shadow.
97
It can hit anyone who's feeling vulnerable to dark external forces.
98
You overcome it by better sleeping habits or careful use of supplements to induce lucid dreaming.
99
So when it starts, you know, I'm dreaming.
100
It's not real.
101
It's me.
102
I'm sorry.
103
Carl.
104
A ghost.
105
I don't know.
106
I mean, she had, um, her skin was falling off and she had these yellow eyes and she kept coming toward me, but I couldn't move and...
107
Sorry, all out.
108
Yeah, well, how old was that stuff you gave me because, because it didn't do anything?
109
You're not feeling nothing off a half of anything doesn't surprise me.
110
Look, basic rule.
111
Don't sell to people seeing dead chicks.
112
Oh, come on.
113
It's just Zimavan, Trazodone, I'll do Lunesta.
114
I'm not driving.
115
I'm not partying.
116
I'm just trying to not see shit.
117
It's...
118
No, hunch wins.
119
Nobody else dying up there.
120
Sorry, I got something for you, but you gotta take it with water.
121
Wait!
122
What are you doing?
123
Razzadine.
124
My grandpa's dementia.
125
Also good for lucid dreaming.
126
One possible side effect, sleep paralysis.
127
But you already got that, so to me it's a win -win.
128
I've never heard of it.
129
Exactly.
130
It's for old people.
131
So it made him sleep?
132
Yeah, sleep dementia, it's all good.
133
Look, there's no risk.
134
I don't think so.
135
There's always a traditional method.
136
We could just get Black out.
137
Maybe we could.
138
Carl, I think you should go.
139
You gonna take it?
140
Fair game.
141
Sleep tight.
142
I don't know.
143
I'm sorry.
144
I'm sorry.
145
I'm sorry.
146
I'm sorry.
147
I'm sorry.
148
I'm sorry.
149
No!
150
You're just a dream.
151
You're just in my head.
152
You aren't going to kill me.
153
Stay here!
154
We need some ASAP and your CV fit the bill, so we're hoping you can jump on a temp contract before doing the full process to go permanent down the road.
155
We are a smaller shop, but we think it can work better.
156
The fewer names to learn, the better.
157
And the help with the relocation, I really appreciate that.
158
It'll help me get up to speed on all this.
159
Sure.
160
I'll get it done.
161
All right, Rubina.
162
I'll have stuff to sign in your email soon.
163
Wonderful.
164
Thank you, Gabe.

¿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.
