So, are you gonna get that or just keep looking at it?

Um, um, let me ask me that.

You have to ask for permission?

Why?

Just do what I do.

Dad!

I need your credit card.

They spent three million on legal fees last year alone, so let's do whatever it takes to get their business.

Yes?

How are you, my life?

I'm fine.

I don't know much.

Will you visit me soon?

Well, I hope that.

But I don't know exactly when.

Okay.

I understand.

My rent will be... in a few days.

Yes, I know.

It's your mom.

Do you want to say hi?

Tell her.

Call her later.

My love, we'll call you later, okay?

I want you to call you later.

Bye.

Hey, Dad.

Is there any way you can buy me this?

Let me see.

But you already have a pretty dress at home.

I know.

You have the pink one.

But I always wear that.

Can I please buy this one?

This is the cheapest dress they have.

I'm so sorry, mija.

But you know how things are.

We can't right now.

I know.

I just thought I'd ask.

It's okay, Papa.

So, did he give you his card?

Oh, I decided I didn't want it.

I just remembered, I already have something at home I can wear on Saturday.

Ew, you're not gonna wear something old to my party.

Not the pink polka dot dress you always wear, right?

If you're not embarrassed to wear that again, I guess it's fine.

Is there anything else I can help you find, Ms. Regina?

Actually, now that I think about it, I'm going to look at some shoes too. Of course.

Are you ready to be rung up?

I changed my mind, but thanks.

Excuse me.

How come you're not eating, hija?

I know.

I'm sorry we have to have this again.

It's okay, Papa.

I'm not that hungry.

Okay.

Are you excited about Regina's birthday party?

Oh, it's gonna be so much fun.

Um...

I decided not to go.

But you have to go.

This is your friend's birthday party.

No. It's going to be too embarrassing.

What do you mean?

It's just...

Everyone's gonna have cute new dresses on.

They've seen me wear my dress a million times.

I'm sorry, mija, that I could not buy you that new dress.

I feel so bad.

Don't be sorry.

I know you're trying your best.

I promised Papa it was not a big deal.

I didn't want to go anyway.

All right, get this order done as fast as you can.

These people are in a hurry, all right?

Oh, but I was going to take my lunch.

I've been working seven hours straight.

I no eat or taking a break yet.

OK, then you can eat after you're done with the order.

But you tell me that before I started to make the tacos.

Do you understand what I just said?

These people are in a hurry, Mateo.

OK.

OK, senor.

I also wanted to ask, um...

Um, um...

Well, well, what is it?

Spit it out!

Come on, I don't have all day!

Um, well, you know, I've been working here a long time now, and I only make $7.25 an hour.

Can I, um...

Are you literally asking me for more money now?

I mean, have you lost your mind?

But, senor, I work hard.

I know how much others make two times more than me.

And they do have to work.

100

Please.

101

Have you forgotten everything I've done for you?

102

You're here because of me, Mateo.

103

Yes.

104

You're right, senor.

105

I'm sorry.

106

So, can I get the money early?

107

It's my daughter.

108

She...

109

Since you are so ungrateful on how I pay you, when I pay you, why don't you go work for someone else?

110

Oh, right.

111

You can't, can you?

112

Now listen, if you're trying not to lose a good thing going for you, I suggest stop talking, start working.

113

Now this is the third time, third time!

114

I'm telling you, Mateo, these people are in a hurry.

115

I'm sorry.

116

Excuse me, sir.

117

Hi.

118

Did you know that your one blood duration can help save multiple lives?

119

Sorry.

120

Not a good time right now, okay?

121

I understand.

122

But if you change your mind, here's a flyer.

123

Uh, hold on.

124

Say right here you get $50.

125

Did you get that right away? right away?

126

Yes.

127

Okay.

128

I can do it.

129

Thank you.

130

Thank you so much.

131

Thank you.

132

Actually it's across the street at Summit.

133

Thank you.

134

Mija.

135

What?

136

You got me the dress?

137

Thank you, Dad.

138

Oh, you're welcome, mija. But how did you...

139

Hey, just know that your dad will do anything for you, okay?

140

I love you so much, mija.

141

I love you too, Dad.

142

Wow.

143

This place is nice.

144

What does Regina's father do again?

145

Hi, Mateo.

146

Hi, Isabella.

147

I love your dress.

148

You look beautiful.

149

Thank you both for coming.

150

Appreciate it.

151

Dad, I want to open my gifts now.

152

But honey, not everybody's here yet, I think.

153

I think...

154

I don't care.

155

I want to open my gifts now.

156

Okay.

157

They grow up so fast, don't they?

158

It's like one moment you're putting diapers on them, and then the next one they're telling you what to do.

159

All right.

160

The first one's from Madison.

161

AirPods!

162

I already have these, but I can always have a second pair.

163

Ooh, Chanel.

164

I don't know who this is from.

165

Hmm.

166

Why don't you open the rest of them first?

167

All right.

168

I'll open this one.

169

There you go.

170

Uh, is this made out of beads?

171

Uh, Isabella and I made that together for you.

172

And we put your name on it.

173

That's so thoughtful of you guys.

174

Thank you very much.

175

Isn't that a nice gift, honey?

176

It looks like it costs five dollars.

177

Regina, please.

178

Um, well, this is just one of the gifts.

179

We have another one coming and it's very nice.

180

Come on, Mateo, that's not necessary.

181

The bracelet is just fine.

182

Well, hopefully it arrives soon because I don't even know what to say about this.

183

All right, next one.

184

Please, please, can I just go again?

185

I need the money.

186

I'm sorry, Mr. Perez, but you've already reached the limit.

187

Try coming in in another week.

188

No, I don't have another week.

189

Please, can I go today?

190

Unfortunately not.

191

It's for your safety.

192

Something happened to me.

193

I'll be fine.

194

This is for my daughter.

195

Mateo.

196

Hey, Thomas.

197

What are you doing here?

198

Summit's one of my clients.

199

I have a meeting with the board.

200

What about you?

201

Oh, I, um...

202

I was trying to give blood, but I reached my limit, so they say no. That's very nice of you, trying to help people.

203

I'm not going to help people.

204

Look, I feel really bad hearing how much you need the money, especially knowing that it's for your daughter.

205

Come back in a couple of days and I'll see what I can do, OK?

206

Yeah.

207

Thanks. Is Isabella OK?

208

OK.

209

The truth is, is...

210

I'm trying to give blood because I need the money.

211

Isabella was so embarrassed at Regina's birthday party because of the bracelet.

212

And I feel very bad too.

213

So I want to give Regina another gift or...

214

Come on, Mateo.

215

No, please.

216

The last thing Regina needs is another gift.

217

She's already as well as she is, okay?

218

Besides, your guy's gift was perfect, you know?

219

Do not get her anything else, okay? Do not.

220

Thanks.

221

But how do I explain that to Isabella?

222

I can't believe you've gone as far as to give blood to get my daughter a second gift.

223

You're a stand-up guy.

224

And I feel so terrible.

225

I didn't know you guys were struggling this much.

226

Well, yeah.

227

But it wasn't always like this.

228

Um...

229

These past few years...

230

Hey, hey, hey, it's okay.

231

You don't have to talk about it.

232

Here, let's have a seat.

233

Don't worry.

234

No, it's okay.

235

I tell you...

236

The last few years...

237

has been the worst years of my life.

238

Don't you see...

239

I was living in Mexico with Isabella and my wife Camila.

240

We did not have a lot, but he felt like we had everything.

241

That is, until one day a car ran a red light and crashed into the side of our car.

242

They left.

243

Isabella and I, we were okay.

244

But Camila, she was on the side that got hit.

245

We found out her spine was injured in the accident.

246

And the doctor says she never can walk again.

247

When we got home, things went from bad to more bad.

248

Our insurance did not cover the bills.

249

So all our money went to the hospital.

250

And no matter how hard we tried, we could not pay.

251

So that is when my wife told me about coming to the U.S to make more money.

252

I don't want to, but she kept saying.

253

My work visa got approved, but Camila no. So Isabella and I say goodbye, and we promise to come back for her.

254

Isabella couldn't stop crying, and me too.

255

It was so hard.

256

So you see, that is the situation.

257

My wife Camila is in Mexico.

258

We have not seen her in years.

259

I work hard to make more money and take care of her and my daughter.

260

Pero es no easy.

261

I'm so sorry, Mateo.

262

I had no idea you were going through this.

263

But having a job here, how can your financial situation be so bad?

264

My boss, he knows that I have to depend on him for my work visa, and I cannot go anywhere else.

265

So he's very mean.

266

I hardly make anything.

267

I pay my rent, my bills my rents,

268

my bills, then not enough money for Isabella and I to eat.

269

Gosh.

270

I wish you would have told me earlier.

271

I would have helped.

272

I don't like to ask for help.

273

Nothing I can do anyway.

274

I am stuck.

275

Who told you that?

276

A lawyer?

277

I don't have no money for that.

278

Well then, it's a good thing that your daughter's best friend's father is a lawyer.

279

Happy birthday to you.

280

Hold on!

281

You have to make a wish.

282

Okay.

283

Bravo!

284

I think I know what you wish for.

285

Come on, look inside, mija. Did you love it?

286

Well, this is not what I wish for, but yes, I love it!

287

Thanks, papa.

288

You're welcome.

289

Is it okay if I put it on now?

290

Of course, honey, go.

291

Oh, thank you.

292

Mateo, you're a great dad.

293

I could buy Regina half a mole.

294

She would not appreciate it as much as Isabella did with her gift now.

295

That's great.

296

It's all thanks to you, senor.

297

If you not get me out from my last job, I could never have this place or have a party for Isabella.

298

Even if I gave all the blood in my body.

299

Well, I'm glad it all worked out.

300

Luckily, we needed a new Spanish translator for my firm, so it was a win-win.

301

Although I don't think your old boss was very happy about it when we took you from here.

302

Oh, I forgot to tell you.

303

For my next paycheck, I'm going to have enough money to go to Mexico to see Camila.

304

But I don't say nothing to Isabella Young because I want to see her.

305

Well, do you like it?

306

You look so beautiful.

307

Thanks, Papa.

308

Why are you crying?

309

Because I wish your mom was here to see this. Should we FaceTime her?

310

Yeah, come on.

311

Actually, before you do that, can I give Isabella our gift first?

312

Yes.

313

I believe there is someone you may want to see.

314

Camila!

315

How did you do it?

316

Since I helped you to get your visa, I figured I might as well help Camila to get hers.

317

So I reached out to her.

318

I guess you don't have to buy those plane tickets anymore.

319

No. This is what I wished for.

320

This is what I wished for.

321

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.
