The I

think we're
3
okay.
4
How do I get in that room though?
5
Guys Oh fucker!
6
What was that?
7
What was that?
8
Okay, wait.
9
You seem very busy today, huh?
10
Yep.
11
Well, I don't want to seem nagging or anything, but, um, what you working on?
12
Remember a few months ago when I told you about that strange place that I fell into?
13
I do?
14
I've been thinking ever since I fell through our very own floor on how that was even possible.
15
Or what if there was a potential way to get back there?
16
Wait, go back?
17
Yes, that place felt different.
18
And something was very off about it, but I can't explain why.
19
Okay, hold on.
20
Let's go back for a sec.
21
I don't really want to be that guy or anything, but you sure you didn't hit your head?
22
Or could it be, you know, it's a side effect of a concussion?
23
I appreciate your concern, but it wasn't.
24
The walls, the carpet, and the hum of these often-like lights that I saw there?
25
It felt way too real to be imagined.
26
Honestly, I believe you, buddy.
27
You have no reason to lie.
28
However, if you wanted to travel to that place...
29
Oh, like you said yourself, the fall was a complete random event with no rational explanation of how you did it.
30
Well, I might have a solution for that.
31
Introducing the Quantum Phaser Device.
32
Wasn't that an alien translator at some point?
33
Yes, but it's been re-impurposed, and it's still a work in progress.
34
But the central idea is that this device will tear open a portal
35
and will allow us to phase through to another plane of existence.
36
That's way more than my hedgehog brain can comprehend, Tails, But how would you know if something like that would even work?
37
It all comes down to quantum tunneling.
38
Please elaborate.
39
Basically, quantum tunneling is when the wave's length of electrons, protons, and atoms match the speed of each other.
40
And it allows solid matter to phase through solid surfaces.
41
Well, let's pretend for a second I understood all of that, but, you know, in case I didn't, care to put it into simpler terms?
42
Think of it like a ghost being able to pass through walls and objects.
43
Gotcha, so you're basically saying we can teleport through walls.
44
But, even if that was true, how would that allow us to go back to that place?
45
I mean, wouldn't we go through the wall, the floor, or get ourselves decapitated through some weird physics?
46
Only one way to find out.
47
Wait, don't you wanna plan this out first?
48
Just like you always say, an adventure waits for no one.
49
Now, uh, are there potential side effects to this?
50
If everything goes right, then we should relatively face through the other side easily.
51
If not, our entire body matter will be erased and evaporated from existence.
52
Oh, lovely.
53
Uh oh, is that supposed to happen?
54
I'm not sure why though.
55
I think this device may be malfunctioning.
56
The End Haha!
57
It worked!
58
Finally something I created finally worked!
59
You see Sonic?
60
Sonic?
61
Oh no...
62
The device!
63
I'm
64
going to go. Where are you, Sonic?
65
Tails?
66
Hello?
67
I'm sorry.
68
I'm sorry.
69
Everything just looks the same.
70
Man, what the hell is this place?
71
Oh, come on, bud.
72
You gotta be around here somewhere.
73
I hope.
74
I'm sorry.
75
The I'm
76
sorry so
77
The End
78
Hey, who said that?
79
There's more to this place than you realize.
80
Hey Tails, are you around here?
81
Sonic!
82
Oh, finally!
83
So glad to finally see your face again!
84
Same, just can't believe your device actually worked!
85
T- was this the place you were referring to for many months now?
86
Kind of...
87
Odo, it looks awfully different from when I remembered it.
88
It's almost like there were two different places.
89
Strange...
90
Well, uh, anyways, as much as I love new adventures, this place is very unsettling, and I think it's best we get the hell out of here.
91
Unfortunately, we can't.
92
I don't have the device.
93
You, uh...
94
You what?
95
It must have fell somewhere in this maze when we fell through.
96
So, it could literally be anywhere in this...
97
...multiplex.
98
I guess so.
99
Oh...
100
Looks like we have no other choice, right?
101
Where's this place supposed to be at?
102
I'm not even sure.
103
Although, judging by the look of the walls and carpet, it seems like this endless maze is a warm stretch version of an office.
104
Fascinating.
105
Ran through these halls not too long ago, but it seems to never end.
106
Doesn't help that this giant space gives off isolated vibes either.
107
Hmm.. very interesting.
108
What the heck was that?
109
That's right.
110
I think it left.
111
Oh!
112
No!
113
The device!
114
I'm not going to die.
115
I'm not
116
sure what you're doing.
117
Huh?
118
We're back?
119
Yes, we are.
120
How'd we get sent to the beach, though?
121
I'm really confused as well.
122
But it might be because the device phased us out to a random location that it could find.
123
Whatever the case may be, I'm just glad we're out of that maze.
124
Something just felt wrong about us being there.
125
And seeing those monsters weren't really a delight to see.
126
I agree.
127
Though it leaves me with a lot of curiosity and questions.
128
I feel like researching will fill this void that I've been needing lately.
129
Okay, buddy.
130
Listen.
131
I'm glad you found something that excites your work, but think logically here.
132
That place was gigantic with a lot of empty spaces and hallways that led to nowhere.
133
Not to mention, the unknown creatures that inhabit that area.
134
For your safety, I think it's best if you stop going any further, Tails.
135
You're right, Sonic.
136
It just sucks with that discovery being so unique.
137
Hey, come on.
138
Let's get some chili-dum- Whatever you want to cheer you up.
139
After we find out where home is...
140
What? so I'm
141
sorry.
142
I'm sorry.

¿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.
