The first thing you see is the counter.
7
So that is the counter where you order your food.
8
You can also see the menu That is the menu that shows the meals and promotions in an eye -catching way.

11
Well, This one doesn't have a self -service kiosk, As you can see in the picture, Bye!
12
It has the counter.
13
If you choose to order at the counter, you can use some chunks, such as Can I get...
14
in the name of the sandwich or drink Can I get a cheeseburger, please?
15
or I'll have a cheeseburger, please, in the name of the sandwich or drink.
16
I'll have A Coke.
17
I'll have a cheeseburger, I'll have a double -double,
18
and then you can actually insert the names according to the sandwiches that you are ordering at that moment
19
So there's a little self -checkout kiosk here.
20
That's why I'm gonna order at the counter.
21
So let's go and see how I order it.
22
It's the combo number one or number two.
23
Can I get combo number three?

35
or patties in the plural when you come here to the United States.

¿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.
