I can do that, she thinks.

Nathan is very good, but I don't need a stand-in.

Natalie goes to speak to Zach.

What's wrong, Natalie?

Zach asks.
63
Mr. Wakeman, please, can I do some of my stunts? asks Natalie.
64
I don't always need a stand-in.
65
Sorry, Natalie, says Zach.
66
The stunts are too dangerous.
67
Why do you want to do your stunts, Natalie?
68
Brad Poole asks her.
69
I'm happy to leave the dangerous acting to Bud.
70
Are you coming to my party tonight, Natalie?

It begins at eight o'clock.

Yes, Mr. Wakeman, says Natalie.
74
Me too, says Brad.

I can give you twenty dollars to park the cars at my party tonight, Nathan, he says.

That night, Natalie Nevins arrives at Zach Wakeman's house in the Hollywood Hills.

Hi, Nathan, says Natalie.
82
Are you working here tonight?
83
Yes, says Nathan.
84
I'm helping to park the cars.
85
Why? asks Natalie.
86
Because I need the money, Nathan tells her.
87
The cat is out again.
88
This time, he is going to steal from Zach Wakeman's house.

Quickly, he runs across to the building and begins to climb.
91
Nathan does not see the cat.
92
He is watching Natalie Nevins go into the house.
93
There are lots of movie stars here tonight,
94
he thinks, but Miss Nevins is the most beautiful.

After some time, Nathan goes to look at the swimming pool.
96
A minute later, he sees Natalie Nevins.
97
She is coming out of the house.
98
She has two drinks.
99
I have a drink for you, Nathan, she says.
100
Oh, thanks, Miss Nevins, says Nathan.
101
You're a good stand-in, Nathan," she says.
102
But I want to do some of my stunts in the movie.
103
Mr. Wakeman says no, but I— Suddenly,
104
she sees someone running to the trees.
105
Look, she says.
106
Who's that?
107
It's the cat, says Nathan.
108
Remember him from the newspaper?
109
He's going to that car.
110
"'Quick!' says Natalie.
111
"'Let's get my car!' "'Do you want me to drive?' Nathan asks.
112
"'I can drive really fast.' "'No!' Natalie tells him.
113
"'I'm driving!' Natalie drives fast,
114
and it is a dangerous road.
115
Be careful, Miss Nevins, says Nathan.
116
You have a movie to finish, remember?
117
It's okay.
118
I'm a good driver, she says.
119
She smiles.
120
You can call me Natalie." Nathan smiles too.
121
Okay, he says.
122
We're getting near to him, says Natalie.
123
Yes, but look, there's a train coming, says Nathan.
124
Natalie looks quickly.
125
It's okay, she says.
126
It's not going to hit us.
127
The train is moving fast.
128
We aren't going to do it, says Nathan.
129
Yes, we are, Natalie tells him.
130
Wow, that was close, says Nathan.
131
Natalie laughs and says nothing.
132
Suddenly, two policemen see Natalie's car.
133
Look at them, says one policeman.
134
How fast are they going, Joe?
135
Too fast, Sam, says Joe.
136
Let's stop them.
137
It's not going to be easy,
138
says Sam, but let's go.
139
Suddenly, Nathan sees the police car.
140
Uh, Natalie?
141
He says.
142
What is it?
143
She asks.
144
There's a police car behind us, says Nathan.
145
It wants us to stop stop.' "'I'm not stopping,' she says.
146
"'It's okay.
147
We can tell them everything later.
148
First we have to stop the cat.' Suddenly,
149
the cat sees the police car too.
150
"'Oh no,' he says.
151
I need to get out of this car.
152
He stops his car and runs.
153
Soon after, Natalie and Nathan are jumping from Natalie's car.
154
The cat looks back and sees them.
155
They're stopping too, he thinks.
156
So, who can run the fastest?
157
Minutes later, the police car stops near Natalie's car.
158
The two policemen jump out and look for Natalie and Nathan.
159
Where are they, Sam? asks Joe.
160
I don't know, says Sam.
161
I can't see them.
162
There are too many people.
163
There he is, says Natalie.
164
There's the cat!
165
He's running to that building," says Nathan.
166
Let's go," says Natalie, and she runs after the cat.
167
Nathan runs after her.
168
He's going up to the roof,
169
he says, and the three of them begin to climb up to the roof of the building.
170
Suddenly, the cat throws his bag at Natalie.
171
She does not see it, but Nathan does.
172
"'Natalie, the bag!' he calls.
173
The bag does not hit Natalie, but it hits Nathan.

Nathan!

She thinks.

Nathan sees her.
184
Wow!
185
Look at her!
186
He thinks.
187
The cat sees her too.
188
How How can I get away from her?
189
He thinks.
190
He cannot get away from her.
191
Got you, says Natalie, and she jumps on him.
192
So who are you?
193
She takes off the cat's mask.
194
You, she says.
195
It's Bud, says Nathan.
196
The policemen arrive and look from Natalie to Bud and back again.
197
It's the movie star Natalie Nevins, says Joe.
198
Yes, says Sam, and the cat.
199
The next day, Nathan and Natalie tell Zach their story.
200
Bud is the cat? he asks.
201
That's right, says Natalie.
202
And you want to be Brad's new stand-in?
203
Zach says to Nathan.
204
OK, but we need a new stand-in for Natalie.
205
Who can do her stunts?
206
Natalie doesn't need a stand-in, says Nathan, laughing.
207
She can do her stunts.
208
Thank you.

¿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.
