Crossing the world on a rickshaw to see the Olympics.

When Chen Guanming was a young man, he never travelled far from his farm in a small village in China.

But now he is famous for following the Olympic Games around the world in his three -wheeled rickshaw.

The story began in 2001, when he heard that the Games were coming to Beijing.

He left his village and cycled 90 ,000 kilometres all over China,

visiting 1 ,764 cities before finally arriving at the famous Bird's Nest Stadium.

Then he decided to travel to London for the 2012 Olympics.

In 2010, he packed his things into his rickshaw and began his journey.

He slept in his rickshaw and sometimes worked for food and money.

Finally, he got to France and caught a ferry to Britain.
75
He only travels by boat or plane when there's no other choice.
76
When he arrived in London, he met lots of tourists and told them his story.
77
Some people didn't believe him.
78
Then he showed them the stamps in his passport
79
and the photos of himself at places like the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur.

After the London Olympics, Chen left his rickshaw in the UK and caught a flight home to plan his next trip,

to the Rio Olympics.

He put his rickshaw on a ship to Canada and he took a plane there.

¿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.
