1
I'm going to spend the next 24 hours studying with the smartest students in the world Hello According to this research done on 15 million students, Chinese high school students ranked the highest for reading, math and science.
2
This is because they are in class for 10 hours a day, 6 days a week.
3
Let's see if I can survive a whole day in this Chinese high school.
4
That's good to meet you.
5
Every morning at 9.30 a.m., all the students gather in this field to do what is called Gwangbo Ti Cao.
6
It's quite impressive looking at all these students doing a pushup and sink.
7
The students are so happy to be finally out of here.
8
So far, we've been up since 6.30.
9
This is their class schedule.
10
After breakfast, they started studying at 7.30 and they have five classes in the morning, four in the afternoon, and one more at night.
11
Hello, you can call me Abby.
12
Hi, my name is Justin.
13
I like Justin Timberlake.
14
These two will be my study buddies for the next 24 hours.
15
We got a big test coming up tomorrow.
16
For the rest of the morning, we got three self-study blocks.
17
These students are all working towards a common goal, and that's to get a good score on the 高考, so they can get into a good university.
18
Right now it is the fifth period in the morning, so the next one is going to be lunch, and it's another self-study period.
19
What are you doing now?
20
What are you doing now?
21
What are you doing now?
22
First, read the book, read the book, read the book, read the book, and then do the book.
23
At the front of the class is a countdown calendar.
24
It's a constant reminder to practice perfection.
25
This is a boarding school meaning the students all live at the school so food and scheduling is all taken care of by the teachers although students have to worry about is getting good grades I'm so happy.
26
Is it good?
27
I'm good.
28
I'm good.
29
You think it's good?
30
It's good.
31
You can enjoy it.
32
It's good.
33
It's good.
34
But it's good.
35
You think it's good?
36
It's good.
37
It's good.
38
I feel like I'm feeling good.
39
I'm still happy to learn.
40
Right now it's around 1.30.
41
School is dead silent.
42
It's actually because all the students are taking their afternoon nap for one hour.
43
How many people do you live?
44
We live in five.
45
And there's a friend from abroad.
46
And there's four.
47
The girls are in that place, right?
48
Yes.
49
Do you like the girls?
50
No.
51
no a can you use that in word to describe your life now?
52
Keep going.
53
Keep going with the school's schedule.
54
I'm going to wear my pants.
55
But I noticed that not everyone has the time to sleep.
56
Behind me are the...
57
The students that got into the top schools in China.
58
And in China, that's only two schools.
59
清华和北大 This is here to motivate the students so every morning they walk by, they can look at this and say, Wow, one day I'm going to go to 清华北大, I'm going to study hard.
60
Now it's back to class.
61
We're studying math right now and we got three more classes to go.
62
Each one about 50 minutes before we can have fun during dinner time.
63
It actually seems to beeen You haven't across the past Think so much It's not a bit late Because it's already I just remember the dream To be gentle I'm not ready.
64
Oh, I'm not ready.
65
Oh, I'm not ready.
66
Oh, I'm not ready.
67
What are you doing?
68
What are you doing?
69
I'm not ready.
70
I'm not ready.
71
After dinner, students get about 30 minutes of free time before they have to go back for night class.
72
We just finished dinner.
73
Now it's around 6.30.
74
We're heading back to class for one more night class and two more self-study sessions.
75
and then we'll end around 10 20 that's when we can go back to our dorms and sleep but most people study for a little bit before they sleep This is kind of like a tutoring session.
76
You self-study and the teacher is here for help if you have any questions.
77
The reason why these students study so much is because in China, universities don't care about your normal grades.
78
They only care about your GPA score.
79
So you study 12 years just for 6 tests at the end, which will determine where you end up for the rest of your life.
80
That's why they need to be perfect.
81
We've been teaching.
82
We've been teaching.
83
We've been teaching.
84
What's the feeling?
85
It's been great.
86

87
We've been teaching.
88
We've been teaching.
89
We've been teaching.
90
We've been teaching.
91
We've been teaching.
92
Because they have tests for the next two days in their main classroom, they're emptying out all their desks and placing their books into their second classroom.
93
For those of you who've never studied in China, this day might seem like it's really intense but for these students is pretty normal sitting in this high school classroom at this desk it reminds me of my past when i was working towards my own university application what is the next goal?
94
Of course, I want to go to the next level Oh, I understand

¿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.
