1
What are you doing?
2
Making sure you don't run away!
3
Why?
4
Because that's what happened the last time you and Mom fought.
5
I'm not going anywhere.
6
Now get out of here, creepo.
7
Why did you get so mad at Mom?
8
I don't want to talk to her about that stuff.
9
It's so embarrassing.
10
Why?
11
If you have to ask that something's wrong with you.
12
But the topic was procreation, and she clearly has procreated.
13
Ew.
14
And then Missy said it was embarrassing to talk to our mother about reproduction.
15
Interesting.

17
That's what I said.
18
The missy said something's wrong with me.
19
Oh, I think you're as normal as I am.
20
Thank you.
21
Although, I have been called an odd duck and one time a quirky turkey.
22
Those people were probably jealous.
23
You know, there's some science to indicate that adolescents process embarrassment with a different part of their brain than adults do.
24
Really?
25
So maybe Missy's right and I'm an outlier.
26
Perhaps.
27
Let's increase our sample size.
28
Andy, would you feel embarrassed talking about sexual intercourse with your mother?
29
Uh, stammering, red-faced, he does seem embarrassed although he may just be embarrassed by the subject in general.
30
How would you feel discussing it with a co-worker?
31
Say, say me, for example.
32
And now we know conversations like that can cost you your job.
33
You'll learn something new every day.
34
My phone was ringing off the hook.
35
Apparently, this little talk y'all were planning on giving is causing quite the tizzy.
36
A good tizzy?
37
There's no such thing as a good tizzy.
38
There's only bad tizzies.
39
You know who wasn't afraid of causing a tizzy?
40
Yeah, yeah, Jesus, but he didn't get 14 messages from angry parents on his answering machine.
41
There's probably more, but that little tape got full.
42
Yeah, people have had some strong feelings, but I think if they heard us out, they'd see we're not putting impure thoughts in anyone's heads.
43
Right, Mary?
44
No!
45
I mean, yes, we're not.
46
I mean, if we're upsetting people, we should just back off.
47
Exactly.
48
The talk is off.
49
I never want to talk about the talk again.
50
Hallelujah.
51
If you'll excuse me, I have 14 phone calls to return.
52
Everyone's parents are upset about the sex talk mom wants to give, and all my friends are blaming me.
53
What?
54
It wasn't your fault.
55
That didn't stop Marjorie Jones from taking my seat at the lunch table, and I also got uninvited from two birthday parties.
56
That's silly.
57
All you did was ask questions.
58
And it's ruining my life.
59
I'm never talking about sex again.
60
Well, all right.
61
Missy, I know you're upset.
62
Would you like a hot beverage?
63
Go away!
64
Every culture has their taboos.
65
In the Ukraine, it's rude to whistle indoors.
66
And they're correct, not a fan.
67
In our society, any discussion of human reproduction seems to be so upsetting, it causes nothing but chaos.
68
Lost jobs.
69
Lost friends.
70
Sleepless nights.
71
Even the word sex provokes an uncomfortable reaction.
72
I thought fornicate might work, but that seemed too judgy.
73
Then I found the perfect word.
74
A word so bland and clinical that it would be impossible to take offense to it.
75
Coitus.
76
That'll work.
77
Thank you.

Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:
- s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: sleepless /ˈsliːpləs/, stammer /ˈstæmɚ/
- /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: provoke /pɹəˈvəʊk/, beverage /ˈbɛv(ə)ɹɪd͡ʒ/
- /z/ — sonora, no /s/: tizzy /ˈtɪzi/, indoors /ɪnˈdɔɹz/
Cómo practicar con este vídeo
- Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
- Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como embarrassed, embarrass, reproduction.
¿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.
