I think it's kind of ridiculous you're not sitting down.
3
Oh, I don't mind standing.
4
Well, there's plenty of room, and I'm not intimidating.
5
Yeah, that's true.
6
I have to ask, what's in the box?
7
It's, um.. it's nothing.
8
Well, you carry it like it's something.
9
Sorry, it's none of my business.
10
I guess I was just intrigued.
11
Uh, it's...
12
picture frames, a stapler, paper clips, and uh, pens, and a stack of Post-its.
13
Not a human head then.
14
Uh, no, it's not a human hair.
15
I'm Clara, by the way.
16
Hi.
17
Hi.
18
Oh, sorry.
19
Uh, I'm Elroy.
20
Elroy. So, Elroy.
21
Sorry you lost your job.
22
What?
23
No. Oh, because of the box?
24
No, I didn't.
25
I didn't lose my job.
26
Oh, well, congratulations then.
27
Why?
28
For not losing your job.
29
Okay.
30
Right.
31
Thanks.
32
This is my mom's stuff.
33
I was.
34
She died.
35
She worked up at the insurance company up the street.
36
Yeah, she worked there for a long time.
37
A really long time.
38
When I was in high school, I'd get up for school in the morning and she'd already be gone. But, um...
39
She would leave these little notes on the door.
40
It was.. it was kinda nice.
41
I don't know why I'm telling you any of this, to be honest.
42
She sounds amazing.
43
Yeah, she is.
44
She was.
45
Her and I were really different though.
46
Well how so?
47
She was so nice to everyone.
48
I mean honestly half the time I can't stand people.
49
But she could find something nice to say about pretty much anyone.
50
Well you could do that.
51
No I can't.
52
No, I can't.
53
Seems like you were just waiting for an opportunity.
54
Yeah, you might be right about that. Could be.
55
Hey, Elroy.
56
This is my friend Elroy, by the way.
57
Can I borrow a post-it?
58
Yeah, sure, go nuts.
59
Thank you.
60
Thanks.
61
Hey, Elroy.
62
What are you doing?
63
I wrote a nice shirt.
64
What do you think?
65
Yeah, it's great.
66
I mean, it really is a nice shirt.
67
I'm here.
68
Would you stop throwing stuff at me, please?
69
It's your turn.
70
Yeah, all right.
71
What do you got?
72
Okay.
73
Nice mustache.
74
You guys are weird.
75
You know, I don't even know her that well, so...
76
Do you have anything else to do today, Elroy?
77
I'm
78
going
79
to show you how
80
to make a new product.

  3. Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come ridiculous, congratulations, pen.

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.
