1
Wow, this reminds me of my guest spot on Law & Order.
2
So, the science elective is supposedly really hard, so you probably won't be spending much time here.
3
No offense, but if you've never been in a real school before.
4
Dude, he's been homeschooled.
5
Okay, I'm just saying.
6
Science is supposedly really hard.
7
But you're taking it too, right?
8
Maybe you could fail together.
9
Why don't you get out of the way so we can check it out?
10
Okay.
11
I mean, there's nothing much to see.
12
Desks, chairs, the incubator, bunch of murders.
13
Those are some really gross science posters.
14
Oh.
15
And this is an eraser.
16
He knows what an eraser is.
17
How am I supposed to know what he knows?
18
He doesn't say anything.
19
You know what an eraser is, right?
20
Dude, you have to say something.
21
Yeah, I know what an eraser is.
22
It.. is your name Jack or Jack Will?
23
Wait, you thought his name was Jack Will?
24
Yeah, a lot of people call me by my first and last name.
25
I don't know why.
26
Got any other questions?
27
Actually, I've got a question for Auggie.
28
What's the deal with your face?
29
Dude, I mean, were you in a car crash or something?
30
Julian!
31
What?
32
Tushman said we could ask questions if we wanted to.
33
Not rude questions.
34
Besides, he was born like that, Mr. Tushman said.
35
Yeah, I know.
36
I just thought maybe he was, like, in a fire, too.
37
Hey, Julian, shut up.
38
You shut up!
39
Why don't we all shut up?
40
No, I wasn't in a fire. In the words, supposedly.
41
What?
42
You said that science is supposedly really hard.
43
twice.
44
The word supposedly with a D.
45
Maybe my mom can homeschool you too.
46
When I eat I think I chew like some prehistoric swamp turtle.
47
No joke, me too.
48
Now there's tuna in your face.
49
Yeah, tuna man.
50
No, no, no. Let me show you how it's done.
51
Dude, that's even more gross.
52
I'm going as Bolafet this year.
53
I like Halloween, but Christmas is still the best holiday.
54
No way, Halloween is the best.
55
A pillowcase of candy versus two weeks off school.
56
You're nuts.
57
You see?
58
You see?
59
Even your dog agrees.
60
Hey, Mom, is it okay if Jack comes over?
61
Yes!
62
Thanks, Mrs. B.
63
I mean, you get snow on Christmas.
64
But you can get snow on Halloween.
65
It feels like if you live in Alaska or there's a birthday.
66
I've got to be cool.
67
Fall is here, here they are.
68
Back to school, ring the bell,
69
I've never thought about having plastic surgery.
70
No, I've never thought about it.
71
Why?
72
Dude, this is after plastic surgery.
73
It takes a lot of work to look this good.
74
We don't notice any time, Val.
75
One, two, three, four.
76
I declare fun more.
77
Bow, kiss, begin.
78
Neat.
79
Fire.
80
The point is to create something you're excited about.
81
Something you're proud to show.
82
Mr. Will?
83
Mr. Will.
84
Something more important to think about?
85
No. So, it'll be teams of two.
86
Your partner will be your table mate.
87
Uh, Ms. Pitosa?
88
I know we're supposed to be in pairs, but Jack Amos and I had a science fair project idea that we wanted to work on together.
89
Okay.
90
Maybe we can switch.
91
Uh, no. Sorry.
92
What?
93
No. Um, it's-it's okay.
94
I'll stay with who I've got.
95
I'll stick with Augie.
96
Hey, what did you do that for?
97
Dude, I don't want to switch.
98
Why not?
99
Do you really want to be partners with that freak?
100
Come on.
101
Ow.
102
Ow.
103
Ow.
104
Ow.
105
Ow.
106
Ow.
107
Dear Mr. Tushman, I am very sorry for punching Julian.
108
It was wrong of me to do that.
109
I know you may need to expel me, but I'd still rather not say why I did what I did.
110
It might get Julian in trouble too, and that's not fair.
111
Sincerely, Jack Will.
112
Dear Mr. Will, One thing I've learned in 20 years in education is that there are two sides to every story.
113
So I think I can imagine what started the fight.
114
While nothing justifies striking another student, I know good friends are worth defending.
115
So, after your two-day suspension, your scholarship will be waiting for you.
116
Just keep up the good work, and keep being the fine boy we all know you to be.
117
Sincerely, Mr. Tushman.
118
What do we got here?
119
Couple of losers thinking up the woods.
120
Ha!
121
Holy crap!
122
Look at his face!
123
He's a freak!
124
Jesus, I've never seen anything that ugly in my life.
125
Maybe it's an orc.
126
Dear, let's go.
127
Go where?
128
Hey, talking to you, Gollum.
129
Is this the one master rule them all?
130
My precious.
131
Hey, what's your problem?
132
Your boyfriend's my problem.
133

134
Leave him alone.
135
What are you gonna do about it?
136
Get out of my way.
137
No. I said get out of my way!
138

139

¿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.
