Come on, who wants to race?
25
Harry couldn't believe it when Tom Todders plotted over.
26
I will raise you, Harry, he said quietly.

Tommy's low coach?
28
Are you serious?
29
Asked Harry.
30
You wouldn't even get started.
31
That's a good one.
32
I mean it, said Tom.
33
Let's have the race next Saturday at 10 o'clock.
34
You choose where to race.
35
Well, we'll all have a good laugh anyway.

48

55
Harry was already at the starting line.
56
Tom slowly ambled over.
57
Come on, Tommy!
58
Let's not start late!
59
On your marks, get set, go! shouted the umpire.
60
Harry raised off and disappeared almost at once.
61
Everyone laughed as poor Tom plodded over the line.
62
As soon as he was out of sight,
63
Harry stopped beside a tree to rest.
64
Just need to catch my breath.
65
After all his early morning training, Harry was very tired.
66
Nobody was looking.
67
He had plenty of time to sit down for a while.
68
He would still win this race easily.
69
His eyes started closing.
70
Why not have a nap?
71
That would make it even funnier when he won the race.
72
He sat down in the shade.
73
Soon he was asleep.
74

78
Hours passed.
79
The sun was setting and the air was cool.
80
Harry woke up with a start.
81
Where was he?
82
Suddenly, he remembered the race.
83
He hadn't meant to slap for so long,
84
but he could still beat Tom.
85

86
He did a few stretches, then raised off.
87
He could see the finish line now.
88
There was a huge crowd.
89

90
At that moment, he saw a small brown shell shape coming up to the line.
91
Harry felt cold all over.
92
Surely that wasn't Tom?
93
He rang faster than ever before.
94
Yes, he could do it!
95
Then the cheering grew louder and louder.
96
Look, it's Harry!
97
Whatever happened to him?
98
Harry died over the line.
99
But he was too late.

Tommy's the winner!

104
These are a collection of short stories first told in the ancient Greece around 4,000 years ago.

106
but the stories are still popular today,

The moral of the story about the hare and the tortoise is,
112
slow and steady wins the race.

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.
