Una de las habilidades más difíciles de desarrollar
entre los estudiantes de ESL es precisamente el Listening. Sin embargo, en DiscoverTween podéis encontrar una fuente increíble de audible stories con las que
podéis desarrollar el oído. Sí es verdad que solo ofrece escuchar la historia
por capítulos y no aparece un script para poder estudiarlo, pero sí podéis speed down la grabación y rewind
todas las veces que deseéis. A pesar de algunas limitaciones, igualmente me ha
parecido interesante para estudiantes de ESO (Tweens) y Bachillerato (Teens). Aquí
os dejo una de las historias que podéis encontrar en este sitio.

Interview with the Robot
introduces a unique heroine who seeks the truth about herself.
Eve looks like an ordinary
12-year-old girl, but there’s nothing ordinary about her. She has no last name.
No parents or guardian. She’s on the run from a dangerous and secretive
organization that will stop at nothing to track her down.
And most astonishing of all:
she’s a robot, a product of Eden Laboratories. When Eve discovers the truth,
she realizes everything she thought she knew about herself is a lie. Eve
manages to escape, fleeing the lab, the only home she’s ever known.
After being arrested for
shoplifting, Eve is interviewed by Petra Amis from Child Welfare Services. Her
incredible story unfolds during the interrogation, with flashbacks to her life
inside Eden Laboratories, which has a dark secret. Listeners follow Eve from
her first moment of consciousness to her evolution as a nearly-human companion
to Emory, the son of the founder of Eden Laboratories.
Exploring a range of topics
that drive our society and our lives—topics such as artificial intelligence and
human nature - Interview with the Robot is a story told by a
startlingly original protagonist, a story that explores the vast potential of
technology and the deep complexities of humanity.
