1
Pressure on Vietnamese teenagers My name is Minh,
2
and I am a student in grade 8 at a secondary school in Hanoi.
3
Like many other teenagers, I have a busy life.
4
I go to school in the morning and afternoon, attend some extra classes in the evening, and do a lot of homework.
5
My parents always have high expectations of me.
6
They want me to study hard, get good marks, and be a good student at school, because they think that good students will have a better future.
7
Last month, I had three tests at school and a lot of homework.
8
I tried to study hard, but I could not concentrate well.
9
When I felt stressed, I often used my phone to relax, but I sometimes spent too much time online.
10
I usually logged on to my social media account, checked my notifications, watched short clips, and chatted with my friends.
11
Sometimes I spent an hour browsing different websites and watching short clips on YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok.
12
However, I didn't really help me feel better.
13
I realized that I was wasting a lot of time.
14
Things became worse when a boy in my class started making fun of me because I got a low mark in maths.
15
He often laughed at me in front of other classmates.
16
He was a bully and I didn't know what to do.
17
One day, I was chatting with my friend on our class forum.
18
I told him about my problem.
19
He advised me to talk to my teacher and spend more time on my hobbies, such as playing football and reading,
20
instead of worrying about what the bully said.
21
The next day, I talked to my teacher.
22
She listened to me carefully and gave me some useful advice.
23
She spoke to the student who bullied me and explained that making fun of other students was not acceptable.
24
After that, he stopped bothering me.
25
I also changed some of my daily habits.
26
I made a study timetable with short breaks.
27
I stopped checking my notifications while studying, and I only browsed social media after finishing my homework.
28
I also joined the school football club.
29
After a few weeks, I felt much better.
30
I still had tests and homework, and my parents still expected me to study hard,
31
but I felt more confident and less stressed about my schoolwork.
32
Teenagers can have many problems, such as study pressure, parents' expectations,
33
problems with friends, and spending too much time online.
34
However, when we have a problem, we should ask for help and think about what to do and how to solve the problem.
35
Sometimes, a small change in our habits and a little support from others can make a big difference.

¿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.
