1. I hate using taxis here.
182
The drivers drive too fast and really dangerously.
183
And they're often rude.
184
The cars are mostly in pretty poor condition.
185
But what I hate the most is that they aren't air-conditioned.
186
It's so hot here.
187
They really need air-conditioned taxis.
188
By the time I arrive somewhere,
189
I feel really hot and uncomfortable.
190
2. I've taken quite a few taxi rides recently.
191
I've never had any big problems using taxis here.
192
They're usually clean, and the cars are pretty new.
193
The prices are good, too.
194
The thing I like most, though, is the drivers.
195
They drive very carefully, and I think that's very important.

They're a little expensive, though.
202
I paid $75 to come from the airport.
203
That's too expensive.
204
I guess the thing I hate the most,
205
though, is that the drivers don't speak English very well.
206
It's very difficult to explain to them where you want to go.
207
4. The taxis here are okay, I guess.
208
The drivers take credit cards.
209
That's the thing I like most about them.
210
It's really convenient.
211
But the taxis are pretty old,
212
so they're not very comfortable.
213
Half of them don't have seat belts or air conditioning.

¿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.
