1
Hello, and welcome back to my Sloan English podcast.
2
Today, I am at my aunt's house.
3
I traveled to the United States to visit my family.
4
I really missed the big houses and green trees and the hot Cheetos.
5
Flaming hot Cheetos are my favorite type of Cheetos.
6
I also bought a new hat at the thrift store.
7
It was only $6.00.
8
Super cheap.
9
I bought it at the thrift shop.
10
So, it's all second-hand clothing.
11
Second-hand means that it's already been used.
12
So it's previously been worn.
13
But it's still really good quality.
14
The weather in Nebraska has been so warm,
15
but today, as you can see from my red nose,
16
it's a little bit cold.
17
I had to wear a sweatshirt.
18
It's a nice breeze, but I prefer the warm sun.
19
How has your summer been so far?
20
I know some people get a long vacation during the summer,
21
but some people don't.
22
I remember my mom
23
and my dad always had a vacation during the summer
24
when it was warm and we could all go out to swim or play at the park.
25
But some of my friends' parents would always work all year round.
26
Some all year round jobs are like doctors,
27
sales people, waiters and waitresses.
28
Lots of workers don't get summer off.
29
Only really teachers do.
30
And only because the students need a break as well.
31
What I enjoyed the most about living in the United States,
32
specifically Nebraska, were the seasons.
33
I loved having chilly autumn or fall,
34
snowy winters, blossoming springs, and warm summers.
35
Or should I say, hot summers.
36
In Mexico, there's basically only two seasons, rainy and dry.
37
Just like in Thailand, I remember there was only rainy season and dry season.
38
I really missed having four seasons because even though winter here is super intense,
39
The sidewalks are frozen ice.
40
The streets and roads are slippery.
41
It's so easy to slip and hurt yourself.
42
The fall is chilly and sometimes the sun never shines
43
and I can get allergies during the spring.
44
It's all worth it for the gorgeous summers here.
45
The summers in Nebraska, they're something else.
46
They're so lovely.
47
The birds chirping.
48
The green landscapes everywhere you look.
49
The gorgeous trees blowing in the wind.
50
And kids playing everywhere.
51
Summer here is like in the movies.
52
Definitely.
53
I really enjoy visiting my aunts and uncles
54
and seeing my grandma and grandpa
55
and shopping for new clothes and really just relaxing and eating so much food.
56
One thing about the United States is the food.
57
I feel so unhealthy when I'm here.
58
I eat so much junk food.
59
Doritos, Flaming Hot Cheetos, Cinnamon Rolls,
60
Nachos, Hot Dogs, Donuts, Slushies.
61
There's too much here to eat.
62
And it's so easy to eat everything,
63
especially since I never get to eat it in Mexico.
64
We don't have the same kind of Cheetos in Mexico.
65
We don't have Hostess Donuts or the slushies that I like.
66
The Doritos also taste different in Mexico.
67
Not bad, but different.
68
So eating junk food in the United States brings me back to when I was a kid.
69
Are there any foods, specifically junk foods,
70
that you love and can't resist when you're in your home country.
71
Your home country is where you were born and raised.
72
It was my cousin's graduation when I arrived,
73
so my My aunt had a huge celebration planned.
74
She got nachos, taco meat,
75
an ice cream machine, a whole table filled with every candy you can imagine.
76
Doritos, Cheetos, juices of all the flavors, and cake.
77
It was definitely delicious, but my stomach hurt so bad after.
78
Tomorrow I'm going to visit my grandparents.
79
They live on a farm in Nebraska.
80
My grandpa loves his cows and pigs and chickens and hogs.
81
He takes care of his farm really well.
82
And my grandparents bake us some rhubarb pie every time we go.
83
Tomato soup, hamburgers, eggs, anything with fresh farm ingredients.
84
And it is wonderful.
85
I'm really excited to show you guys my new podcast in Spanish.

95
I'm sorry.

Sobre esta lección

¿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.
