Creando lección...
1
David, could I talk to you for a moment?
2
Sure, Emily. Come in and take a seat.
3
I'm afraid I've made a mistake with an order.
4
Okay. Tell me exactly what happened.
5
I sent the wrong price to a customer yesterday.
6
It was ten percent lower than it should be.
7
I see. Has the customer replied yet?
8
Yes, they've already accepted the offer.
9
Hmm. How did it happen?
10
I used last year's price list by accident.
11
I should have checked the date on the file.
12
Well, I'm glad you told me right away.
13
How much money are we going to lose?
14
About four hundred dollars on this order.
15
That's not great, but it's not a disaster.
16
What do you think we should do?
17
I could call the customer and explain the mistake.
18
If I apologize, they might accept the correct price.
19
Maybe, but I'd rather keep them happy.
20
Let's keep the lower price this one time.
21
Thank you. I'm really sorry about this.
22
It happens. So how can we stop it happening again?
23
I'll delete the old price lists today.
24
And I'll ask someone to check every offer.
25
Good. That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
26
I'll be much more careful from now on.
27
I know you will. Thanks for being honest.
28
Thanks for understanding, David.

¿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.
