91
Okay, so when everything is ready, I sit down at the table and I have my breakfast.
92
We use the verb have in English to talk about food and drinks.
93
So, you can have lunch, have breakfast, have dinner, have eggs, have coffee, for example.
94
So I usually have my breakfast with a cup of tea or coffee.
95
Okay, the water was boiled a while ago.
96
So here I am drinking my tea or my coffee.
97
It depends what I am in the mood for.
98
Okay, do you drink tea or coffee in the morning or do you prefer a different drink?
99
I still have the shell.
100
This is the finger of power now, okay?
101
With a cup of tea or coffee, I usually have my breakfast and I check my phone.
102
Oh, thank goodness, it's in my left pocket and not my right pocket.
103
And do you check your phone while you are having your breakfast?
104
I know it's not a good habit, but I do it.
105
I check my emails, I check social media, and I check the news usually.
106

107
I need to wash my hands before we continue.

After breakfast, I brush my teeth.
111
This is called a toothbrush.

113
so after breakfast I brush my teeth and prepare lunch for my kids it's very important that my kids stay healthy.
114
But today we don't have a lot of options in the kitchen.
115
So I looked in the fridge.
116
I have some organic almond butter and an onion.
117
So I guess today my kids are eating onions with almond butter.
118
I will put that in their backpack for school.

121
They get dressed, they pack their things for school, they get ready for school.
122
We leave the house.
123
We get in the car and I drop them off at the bus stop.
124
Drop someone off is to take them to a place and leave them usually with a vehicle like a car.
125
So we get in the car and I drop them off at the bus stop.

135
I eat dinner early.
136
I'm sure even for many Canadians, this is early, but my kids come home, they are hungry, basically.

Sobre esta lección
¿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.
