1
Part 4 You will hear a professor of philosophy giving a talk on the ancient philosophy of Stoicism.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
3
Thank you.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
5
Ancient philosophy is not just about talking or lecturing or even reading long, dense books.
6
In fact, it is something people have used throughout history to solve their problems and to achieve their greatest triumphs.
7
Specifically, I am referring to Stoicism, which in my opinion is the most practical of all philosophies,
8
and therefore the most appealing.
9
Stoicism was founded in ancient Greece by Zeno of Citium in the early 3rd century BC,
10
but was practiced by the likes of Epictetus, Cato, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius.
11
Amazingly, we still have access to these ideas, despite the fact that the most famous Stoics never wrote anything down for publication.
12
Cato definitely didn't.
13
Marcus Aurelius never intended his meditations to be anything but personal.
14
Seneca's letters were, well, letters, and Epictetus's thoughts come to us by way of a note-taking students.
15
Stoic principles were based on the idea that its followers could have an unshakable happiness in this life,
16
and the key to achieving this was virtue.
17
The road to virtue, in turn,
18
lay in understanding that destructive emotions like anger and jealousy are under our conscious control.
19
They don't have to control us, because we can learn to control them.
20
In the words of Epictetus, external events I cannot control, but the choices I make with regard to them I do control.
21
The modern-day philosopher
22
and writer Nassim Nicholas Taleb defines a Stoic as someone who has a different perspective on experiences
23
which most of us would see as wholly negative.
24
A Stoic transforms fear into caution,
25
pain into transformation, mistakes into initiation, and desire into undertaking.
26
Using this definition as a model, we can see that throughout the centuries,
27
Stoicism has been practiced in more recent history by kings, presidents, artists, writers, and entrepreneurs.
28
The founding fathers of the United States were inspired by the philosophy.
29
George Washington was introduced to Stoicism by his neighbours at age 17,
30
and later put on a play based on the life of Cato to inspire his men.
31
Thomas Jefferson kept a copy of Seneca beside his bed.
32
Writers and artists have also been inspired by the Stoics.
33
Eugene Delacroix, the renowned French romantic artist, known best for his painting, Liberty Leading the People, was an ardent Stoic,
34
referring to it as his consoling religion.
35
The economist Adam Smith's theories on capitalism were significantly influenced by the Stoicism
36
that he studied as a schoolboy under a teacher who had translated Marcus Aurelius's works.
37
Today's political leaders are no different, with many finding their inspiration from the ancient texts.
38
Former US President Bill Clinton re-reads Marcus Aurelius every single year,
39
and many have compared former President Obama's calm leadership style to that of Cato.
40
Wen Jiabao, the former Prime Minister of China, claims that Meditations is one of two books he travels with,
41
and that he has read it more than 100 times over the course of his life.
42
Stoicism had a profound influence on Albert Ellis, who invented cognitive behavior therapy,
43
which is used to help people manage their problems by changing the way that they think and behave.
44
It's most commonly used to treat depression.
45
The idea is that we can take control of our lives by challenging the irrational beliefs that create our faulty thinking,
46
symptoms and behaviors by using logic instead.
47
Stoicism has also become popular in the world of business.
48
Stoic principles can build the resilience and state of mind required to overcome setbacks,
49
because Stoics teach turning obstacles into opportunity, a lesson every business entrepreneur needs to learn.
50
I would argue that studying Stoicism is as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago,
51
thanks to its brilliant insights into how to lead a good life.
52
At the very root of the thinking, there is a very simple way of living.
53
Control what you can and accept what you can't.
54
This is not as easy as it sounds and will require considerable practice.
55
It can take a lifetime to master.
56
The Stoics also believed the most important foundation for a good and happy life is not money,
57
fame, power or pleasure, but having a disciplined and principled character,
58
something which seems to resonate with many people today.
59
That is the end of Part 4.
60
You now have one minute to check your answers to part 4.

Kontext und Hintergrund
Die Videoaufzeichnung zeigt einen Philosophieprofessor, der über den antiken Stoizismus spricht – eine praktische Philosophie, die seit Jahrhunderten Menschen hilft, Emotionen zu steuern und ein glückliches Leben zu führen. Der Talk erklärt, wie Stoizismus von Griechenland bis heute Einfluss hat, von US-Präsidenten bis zu Therapieverfahren. Diese inhaltsreiche Sprache eignet sich perfekt, um Englisch zu üben – besonders mit Techniken wie Shadowing!
Top 5 Phrasen für den täglichen Gebrauch
- "unshakable happiness" – "unerschütterliches Glück" (z. B. "Stoizismus zielt auf unshakable happiness durch Tugend ab").
- "destructive emotions" – "zerstörerische Emotionen" (nutze es: "Angst und Eifersucht sind destructive emotions, die wir steuern können").
- "turn obstacles into opportunity" – "Hindernisse in Chancen verwandeln" (wichtig fürs Berufsleben: "Ein Unternehmer lernt, obstacles into opportunity zu verwandeln").
- "calm leadership style" – "ruhiger Führungsstil" (beispielsweise: "Obama wurde für seinen calm leadership style gelobt").
- "profound influence" – "tiefgreifender Einfluss" (z. B. "Stoizismus hatte einen profound influence auf die Kognitiv-Verhaltenstherapie").
Schritt-für-Schritt-Shadowing-Anleitung
Um diesen Talk effektiv zu üben, nutze die Shadowing-Methode – eine der besten Weisen, um Englisch sprechen zu üben! Hier die Schritte:
- Höre zuerst 10-15 Sekunden des Videos an – konzentriere dich auf Intonation und Rhythmus.
- Wiederhole sofort hinterher – versuche, die Wörter so genau wie möglich nachzusprechen. Nutze einen shadowing site, um deine Leistung zu checken.
- Fokussiere auf schwierige Sätze – Phrasen wie "transform fear into caution" brauchen vielleicht mehr Übung. Wiederhole sie, bis sie flüssig klingen.
- Verbinde Sprache mit Bedeutung – denke an die Geschichte von George Washington oder Adam Smith, um die Wörter zu verinnerlichen. So lernst du nicht nur zu sprechen, sondern auch zu verstehen.
- Übe täglich 5-10 Minuten – kleine, regelmäßige Einheiten bringen mehr als lange Sessions. Mit "shadowspeak" oder "shadow speak" wirst du schnell Fortschritte sehen!
Stoizismus lehrt, dass Übung die Tugend schafft – und das gilt auch fürs Englisch lernen! Mit dieser Anleitung wirst du nicht nur dein Sprechen verbessern, sondern auch wertvolle Lebensweisheiten mitnehmen.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
