Shadowing Practice: READING EXPLORER 1 UNIT 3A MOVE TO THE MUSIC - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
Unit 3.
2
A move to the music.
3
A music helps us exercise, but why does it have this effect?
4
Experts say there are two main reasons.
5
The first is simple.
6
Music distracts us.
7
When we listen to a song we like, our brain pays attention to the music.
8
For example, after we exercise for 20 minutes, our body might be tired.
9
But we may not feel this immediately because we are listening to music, so we exercise a little longer.
10
B music also motivates us.
11
When we hear dance music, for example, we naturally start to move to the beat.
12
An upbeat song also puts us in a good mood, so we feel happier.
13
This gives us energy and helps us exercise longer.
14
Music with a quick and steady beat is good for exercising, but the music shouldn't be too fast, says sports psychologist Dr Costas Karageorgis.
15
Generally, songs in the range of 120 to 140 beats per minute are the best.
16
See a new study by cognitive scientist Tom Fritz suggests this only part of the explanation, however.
17
In an experiment, Fritz put 61 people in small groups.
18
They all then exercised twice.
19
One time, each group worked out while listening to music for six minutes.
20
Another time, they exercised for six minutes on special Jimin machines.
21
The name Jimin is a combination of jammin' and gym.
22
Using these machines, each group made music as they moved.
23
At the end, 53 of the 61 people said the same thing.
24
They felt less tired when they exercised on the Jimin machines.
25
When we exercise and make music, especially with other people, working out seems to be easier.
26
D. How does Fritz explain this?
27
Maybe people did better on the Jimin machines because they had more control, he says.
28
People created the beat.
29
They could make it go faster or slower.
30
Also, the activity was social, each group was making music together and having fun.
31
Fritz believes that gym and exercise may have other advantages too.
32
He wants to find out if it can help with more serious conditions.
33
For example, it may even be a good way to treat depression.

¿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.
