Unit 7.
2
Not the normal news.
3
Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad things happening in society.
4
However, there is a place where readers can find some good news.
5
That place is the website called Happy News.
6
The man behind Happy News is Byron Reese.
7
Rees set up Happy News because he thought other news sources were giving people an unbalanced view of the world.
8
Rees said about Happy News, the news media gives you a distorted view of the world by exaggerating bad news, misery and despair.
9
We're trying to balance out the scale.
10
Not everyone agrees with Rees' view though.
11
Many people think that news sources have a responsibility to provide news that is helpful to people.
12
People need to know about issues or problems in today's society.
13
Then people are better able to make informed decisions about things that affect their daily lives.
14
Rees said that Happy News is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or problems.
15
Happy News is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today's world.
16
By the end of its first month online, Happy News had more than 70,000 unique readers.
17
About 60% of those readers were women.
18
Something else unique makes Happy News different from any of the other news or information websites that are on the Internet.
19
Unlike many other websites, Happy News gets fan mail from its readers on a daily basis.

Sobre esta lección

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
