1
Good morning.
2
Renfrew Activity Centre.
3
How can I help you?
4
Hello.
5
I'm calling about your activity weekends.
6
Some colleagues and I would like to learn some new skills.
7
We're fed up with the boring things like playing tennis or going to the gym.
8
We thought something like rock climbing might be quite fun.
9
That's one of the activities you do, don't you?
10
That's right.
11
The rock climbing takes place here in the center grounds.
12
Fine.
13
From your website, I see that the main technique I would learn would be rope work.
14
What is that exactly?
15
Well, you need to know how to use ropes if you're going to climb.
16
So we spend the first morning learning about that, and then we practice on the indoor climb.
17
On the second day, we take you on two supervised climbs outside.
18
And what's the cost of the weekend?
19
Well, it depends how many of you there are.
20
Up to nine people is 65 pounds per person.
21
There'll be about 12 of us.
22
Right, that's 60 pounds each.
23
That's very reasonable.
24
Does that include our accommodation and food?
25
No, but it does include the equipment.
26
Right.
27
Now, I was wondering about the mountain biking weekends.
28
Oh, yes, they're very popular.
29
Do you have to be an experienced rider?
30
Not at all.
31
We do take you out in the mountains, but our routes are relatively easy.
32
The website said that we learn to do safety checks on our bikes.
33
Yes, you learn all about that.
34
That'll be very useful.
35
And how much is that?
36
It's 70 pounds and includes all the help you need from our guide.
37
He knows all the best places.
38
Some of my colleagues might prefer something a little less energetic.
39
Maybe camping or walking.
40
There was something on the website called Wild Camping.
41
It's in the forest, the website said.
42
That's right.
43
I read a bit about it in the paper last week.
44
They said that the forest has the most amazing plants.
45
Do we get a chance to learn something about that?
46
Yes, you do.
47
And the cost?
48
Fifty pounds.
49
That includes your tented accommodation.
50
Right, I've got that.
51
I think the other activity which we may be interested in is the hill walking one.
52
That's in the National Park, isn't it?
53
Yes, it's very popular, and it gives people a chance to get to know each other.
54
And so you won't get lost when you go walking on your own.
55
We teach you some navigation skills.
56
And the cost of that?
57
Ninety pounds.
58
Does that include accommodation?
59
It doesn't, but there are some very inexpensive B&Bs nearby.
60
Or you can stay at the local youth hostel, but lunch is included.
61
Thanks.
62
Oh, and just a couple of other things.
63
Yes?
64
Will you need a deposit with the booking?
65
Yes.
66
When you book, we usually ask for a deposit of £25 per person.
67
But if you're booking for a group, then it'll be 20% of the total cost.
68
Okay.
69
And is there any equipment we must bring with us, or is it all provided?
70
The most important thing is to have the right shoes, so you'll need to bring those.
71
Other things like maps and wet-weather gear can be borrowed from here.
72
Right.
73
That's good to know.
74
I'll get back to my colleagues and call you when we've decided what to do.
75
Or you could book it online.
76
But don't hesitate to call me if you still have questions.
77
My name's Gordon.
78
Gordon Arkwright.
79
That's A-R-K-W-R-I-G-H-T.
80
Thanks for your help.

¿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.
