Creazione lezione...
1
Do you want any else for lunch, sir?
2
Oh, no, I've already consumed the required calories for this day period.
3
Yummy.
4
But I do have some fun lunch chit-chat.
5
When I was a detective, my old CO, Jim Martins, used to keep us on our toes by having us solve brain teasers.
6
I thought maybe you'd like to try one?
7
Don't just tease my brain, Captain.
8
Really go to town on it.
9
Yeah.
10
Bring it on, sir.
11
I love puzzles.
12
They're like power squats for your mind.
13
Good.
14
Here's the problem.
15
There are 12 men on an island on an island.
16
Eleven weigh exactly the same amount, but one of them is slightly lighter or heavier.
17
You must figure out which.
18
And what do these men look like facially and with respect to their bodies?
19
It's unimportant.
20
So like Tyrese.
21
It's the land of Tyrese's.
22
Sure.
23
The island has no scales, but there is a seesaw.
24
The exciting catch?
25
You can only use it three times.
26
That sounds super exciting.
27
Is this thing mandatory?
28
Oh, I hope so.
29
Please say yes.
30
No, but there is a prize for whoever solves it first.
31
Two tickets to this Sunday's Beyoncé Knowles rock music concert.
32
I'm in.
33
Marcus loves Beyoncé.
34
Everyone loves Beyoncé.
35
My girls were conceived and bootylicious.
36
Don't tell my wife I told you that.
37
You might as well save yourself some paper and give up now, Sarge.
38
You know I'm gonna solve this first.
39
You probably can't tell, but I am flexing my brain like crazy right now.
40
Yeah, you're both wasting your time.
41
Beyonce's my spiritual twin.
42
Those tickets are my birthright.
43
No offense, but this is gonna come down to me and Sarge.
44
Whoa, you think you two are the only ones that can solve puzzles?
45
Yeah, what about Rosa, Gina, and me?
46
Is this how you wanna die, Hitchcock?
47
Look, it's just that the Sarge and I are really into puzzles.
48
Remember when I took that Sudoku cruise?
49
I never even went on deck.
50
A hundred bucks says Gina and I can solve this thing before you two puzzle dorks.
51
Deal.
52
You're going down.
53
You're really not a part of this, Hitchcock.
54
Are you here because you've solved my brain teaser?
55
Sir, you've been an underdog your whole life, but you defied the odds by having others secretly help you, because you didn't have what it took.
56
That's not my story.
57
But now we're the underdogs.
58
And we're the ones who need a handout, so just tell us the answer.
59
Or have you forgotten where you come from?
60
I'm not gonna help you.
61
I told you that was not gonna work.
62
Stop the clock.
63
We're here and we have the solution.
64
First, you waste six versus six.
65
Wrong.
66
That'll never work.
67
You just wasted your time and mine.
68
Click!
69
I just captured the exact moment when you realized you had failed.
70
I guess we all got something out of this.
71
So that's it?
72
This problem is beyond all of you.
73
No one solved it.
74
Believe me, no one is more disappointed in me than me.
75
Than I, Santiago.
76
Click!
77
Wait, Captain.
78
Gina and I figured out your dumb brain teaser.
79
I highly doubt that, sir.
80
I'll judge for myself, Santiago.
81
Okay, Diaz, what's the solution?
82
We have no idea.
83
Told ya.
84
But neither do you, sir.
85
What?
86
Captain Holt, you don't know what the solution is.
87
Excuse me?
88
Here's how we cracked it.
89
I took the photo of you demolishing Amy's spirit and made these clever t-shirts that say, hashtag nerd fail.
90
It's not that clever.
91
It's hilarious.
92
Look at this.
93
Your expression is the same as Amy's because you're both devastated that you just let down your mentors.
94
I looked at your calendar.
95
You're supposed to have breakfast with your old CO.
96
You wanted us to solve the problem before you saw him.
97
That's crazy.
98
She's right.
99
What?
100
No. He posed that problem to me 20 years ago.
101
Every time I see him, he asks, do you have the answer yet?
102
And I never have.
103
Those islanders and their pathetic seesaw haunt my dreams.
104
They mock me in my sleep, riding up and down on a teeter-totter of taunts.
105
Cool.
106
So who gets the Beyonce tickets?

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
