Conversation
Sara: Do you know anyone who can fix my computer?
Tomás: Yes, I have a friend who works in tech [tɛk] (tecnología). What's the problem?
S: The screen, which I bought just six months ago, stopped working. And the battery, which used to last eight hours, now only lasts two.
T: That sounds frustrating [frʌs'treɪtɪŋ] (frustrante). The place where my friend works is very close to your office. I'll send you his number.
S: Thanks! Is he the friend whose brother works at Google?
T: No, that's Carlos. The friend I'm talking about is David. He's someone who really knows his stuff [stʌf] (que realmente sabe lo suyo).
S: Great. I have some files [faɪlz] (archivos) that I need to recover [rɪ'kʌvər] (recuperar). I hope he can help.
Estudiar todo de golpe sirve para el examen de mañana, pero no para memorizar conceptos a largo plazo. Espaciar las sesiones de estudio dejando horas e incluso días de por medio es mucho más eficaz.
