1
How's your new place, Julie?
2
It's really nice.
3
I finally finished unpacking, so now I feel more settled.
4
Have you met your neighbors yet?
5
Yes.
6
I met them yesterday.
7
They're really friendly.
8
But they're a bit too passionate about protecting the environment.
9
They're really keen on renewable energy.
10
You know, like using solar or wind energy.
11
They took great pride in showing me the mini wind turbine in their garden and the solar panels on their roof.
12
They're also fanatical about recycling.
13
They gave me a tour of their bins.
14
They have five different bins, all with different types of rubbish.
15
And it's all neatly sorted and divided.
16
They sound like model members of the community.
17
I don't know why you are complaining.
18
Anyway, isn't it a good thing to be environmentally conscious?
19
Well, yes, but I couldn't get away once they started talking about it.
20
They kept talking to me for nearly two hours.
21
I was almost late for work.
22
What kind of things did they talk about?
23
Oh, so much.
24
They started off by talking about how our dependence on fossil fuels is causing a buildup of CO2 in the atmosphere,
25
which is damaging the ozone layer.
26
and how this would inevitably lead to increasing temperatures and rising sea levels all around the world.
27
Well, they're not wrong.
28
I know, but this was the first time I'd ever met them.
29
They went on to talk extensively about the problems brought about by deforestation.
30
Like habitat loss?
31
Yes, and other things, like how the trees can help to soak up CO2 from the atmosphere and offset the damage by fossil fuel use.
32
Oh, really?
33
That's interesting.
34
I didn't know that.
35
In that case, I'll have to introduce you to them, then.
36
They are thinking about launching a new community campaign to convince more people to recycle.
37
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.
