What is wrong?

You should call your doctor and get lots of rest.

Hello, this is Dr. Bennett.
37
How can I help you?

Hello, Dr. Bennett.
39
This is Anna.

Excuse me, Anna.

But I don't need to know all that.
55
Do you have a fever?
56
My thermometer says 125 degrees.
57
What?
58
Yeah, that's not right.
59
Oh, wait.
60
The thermometer was in my hot cup of coffee.
61
Please take it again, Anna.
62
Okay, the thermometer says 100.5 degrees.
63
100.5 degrees is not too high.
64
I want you to drink lots of water.
65
Rest in bed and get lots of sleep.
66
That is what my boss said to do.
67
Dr. Bennett, when can I go to work?
68
Don't go to work for a couple of days.
69
Yes!
70
I mean, I don't want to make my co-workers sick.
71
That's right.

Call me back in a couple of days.
73
I will, Dr. Bennett, and thanks.

When did you start feeling sick?

Well, you heard the doctor.
76
No work for a couple of days.
77
I need water, sleep, and, um, lots of movies.

Well, the doctor didn't say anything about movies. But it can't hurt.
79
Until next time!

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
