7. Here is a graph that shows our market shares in different regions of the country.

You can see that one of our regions occupies a very small market share.

This problem stands out since the other three regions are doing a lot better this year.
54
I am so sorry to announce this, but we have finally decided to close down the operations in the region where sales are much lower than the other regions.
55
This decision was inevitable due to the increase in labor costs and the increased competition in the market.
56
For those of you who have been working in this region, we will make every effort to minimize the damage that could possibly happen to you.

and had been working as the director of the Organ Donation Center for 10 years.

Guia Passo a Passo para Shadowing

O shadowing em inglês (técnica de repetir frases imediatamente após ouvi-las) é excelente para melhorar a pronúncia e a fluência. Aqui está como praticar com esse vídeo:

  1. Escute uma frase por vez: Pause o vídeo após cada diálogo e repita em voz alta, tentando imitar a entonação e o ritmo.
  2. Use o "shadowspeak": Repita as frases enquanto o áudio toca, como se estivesse "sombra" do falante. Isso ajuda a treinar a audição e a fala ao mesmo tempo.
  3. Concentre-se nas palavras-chave: Frases como "extra 30 minutes" ou "bonus this month" são essenciais. Repita-as até que fiquem naturais.
  4. Prática de conversação em inglês: Crie situações semelhantes (ex: anuncie um show para um amigo) usando as frases aprendidas. Isso fixa o conteúdo.

Com essa técnica, você não só aprende novas palavras, mas também como usá-las no contexto certo. Basta dedicar 10 minutos por dia e ver os resultados!

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
