Cording 19b Would you do to be famous?
2
I think a lot of people want to be famous nowadays, and that's why reality TV is so popular.
3
But I wouldn't like to be famous at all.

Being famous nowadays simply means that you're in the Trineloids a lot, and you're followed by the paparazzi everywhere you go.
5

10
They just don't seem to be part of the real world at all.

I think they should have a positive influence on young people, but many of them don't.
13
Some personalities are good role models and use their celebrity status to encourage people to think about important issues,
14
but we often see fofososomous people behaving badly.

I think it can affect us in both positive and negative ways.

¿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.
