1
I'd like to talk about Huang, one of my close friends from high school.
2
We studied together when we were in grade 9, and I knew quite early that she was really interested in languages.
3
She was always very good at both English and literature, and she often got high marks in these subjects.
4
She even won third prize in a provincial literature competition.
5
I think one reason she was good at languages was the way she learned them.
6
Whenever we had to answer questions in front of the class, in our literature lessons, most of us simply answered the questions, but Huang could turn her answer into a short presentation.
7
She spoke clearly, organized her ideas well, and used interesting expressions, which I found really impressive.
8
She also told me that she really enjoyed watching the news, both in Vietnamese and English.
9
She paid attention to how news presenters spoke and tried to learn useful expressions from them.
10
I think this helped her improve not only her vocabulary, but also her pronunciation and speaking skills.
11
As for the languages she can speak, she is fluent in both English and French.
12
After high school, she got into foreign trade university in Ho Chi Minh City.
13
She continued improving her English and also learned French there.
14
After graduating, she worked for a global oil and gas company where her language skills were very useful.
15
I really admire her because she is intelligent, hardworking and always willing to learn.
16
Being friends with her also motivated me to study harder.
17
I think having a friend like her had a positive influence on me
18
and it helped me become more confident about my own studies and my future.

¿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.
