The End I don't know.

Let's go. Can I help you?

Uh, I'd like a room, but...

No worries.

You pay when you leave.

Oh, okay.

Enjoy your stay.

Chuck will walk you to your room.

Say hello, Chuck.

The vending machine is missing.

Oh, Chuck, don't bother him with that.

Take our guest to his room.

Thank you.

We are just getting word that Dean Clark, an inmate from the state penitentiary, escaped earlier today.

His last known whereabouts are on Prospect Drive.

Be on the lookout if you're in the area.

Please call the police immediately if you see anything suspicious.

I don't know.

Sorry about that um i uh chuck is having a rough week let me get that cleaned up

You have a nice day.

Clean it up.

Enjoy.

I just thought I'd bring you a little food after what happened earlier.

Didn't want to rattle you or anything.

So, how have you been liking your stay here?

It's good.

Yeah, I like it.

It's nice.

It doesn't seem like you packed very heavy.

Are you planning on checking out soon?

You only just got here.

Uh, I'm not really sure what's next. Of course.

sometimes we don't know what's next

and that's okay you just have to let other people help you like making you a meal Chuck forgets

that sometimes I need to remind him well anyways I'll let you finish your food in peace have a nice

day.

Dean Clark is still on the run and has not been seen in the past 24 hours.

Officials suspect that he has fled the area and neighboring states have begun their own searches for the missing convict.

Once again, if you have any information or see anything suspicious.

Chuck tends to forget that sometimes.

I just need to remind him of him.

I've got to get back to you.

I've got to get back to you, buddy.

Chuck!

Stop!

Hi Dean, it's so good to see you all late. Is Chuck okay?

Oh, Chuck?

He's great.

Got your clothes all washed up.

They were just so dirty.

Such a nice picture.

You and your son.

Some sort of a break in with the vending machine.

I just thought I should report it.

I'm glad you did.

Someone broke out of the state penitentiary a few days back.

Have you heard of Dean Clark?

Hmm, Dean Clark.

I don't think so, but I can double -check my tenants, just in case.

Yeah, we're not exactly sure where he is, but we know he's in the area.

Really?

Could be worse than the vending machine, that's not.

Right, well, if you think of anything else, let us know.

Have a good night, man.

Did you enjoy your stay?

I did.

Glad to hear.

Dean, how are you?

Why did you do that? Do what?

Are you trying to scare me?

Scare you?

Those clothes you brought me earlier?

Then calling the police about the vending machine?

I get it.

You know who I am.

I'll go.

The police have already left.

They aren't likely to return.

This is your safe space.

Oh, don't worry about him.

He doesn't care.

What do you want out of me?

Nothing.

I want to help.

I don't want your help.

I'm leaving.

Let me explain.

I didn't tell the police about you because I needed you more than they did.

Or you need me more, I suppose.

Either way, you're staying here.

Fuck.

Help!

you've got all the help you need in your room for the next guests

I don't know. so so

100

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.
