Hey, what's up?

It's Alex.

Today we're going to look at a TOEFL Task 6 sample text called Why We May Remember Some Things Better Than Others.
4
When we think about the past, when we try to remember the past, we remember some things better than others.
5
Think about.
6
We want to link the K and the A together.
7
Think about the past.
8
Think about the past.
9
If I'm speaking more formally, I may not link about the together.
10
In other videos, you've seen casual speech where I always link about the, but in a more formal context,
11
that kind of link might not always happen.
12
When we think about the past.
13
When we think about the past, when we try to remember the past, try to, the to becomes reduced.
14
Try to remember.
15
Try to remember the past.
16
We remember some things better than others.
17
Better than than others.
18
Then here is reduced a lot.
19
Better than others. Than others.
20
We remember some things better than others.
21
Why is that?
22
Well, there are a few different explanations.
23
There are.
24
Some people write this as a contraction.
25
There-er.
26
I don't normally write like that, and that's not really standard in American English writing.
27
Even if we say there-er, we always write there-er.
28
In speech, it's more connected.
29
There-er.
30
There are a few.
31
There are a few.
32
There are a few.
33
There are a few different explanations.
34
Different explanations.
35
We have a n before a t, so that t disappears.
36
Different explanations.
37
One explanation is that, that, is that we remember something better if we already have some previous knowledge about it,
38
some previous understanding of it. Of it. Of it.
39
In a formal situation, I would probably pronounce the T at the end of it, at the end of a sentence or a clause,
40
like about it, of it.
41
If I'm speaking less formally, I'd probably just make them into glottal stops. About it. Of it.
42
For example, let's say, let's say, we want to connect those two S's together.
43
Let's say you're going to go to a classical music concert.
44
If you don't know anything, if you don't know anything, that T at the end of don't is a glottal stop.
45
Don't know anything.
46
Now we link know anything together.
47
We add more of a strong wuh sound.
48
Don't know anything.
49
If you don't know anything about classical music before you go to the concert, go to the, go to the,
50
to the, go to the concert, go to the concert, we link to
51
and the together go to the concert you probably won't remember probably is pronounced probably when it's read in even formal speech
52
probably won't remember won't remember won't remember that's a glottal stop there Won't remember many details of the concert later on.
53
Again, of the is connected, and they're both kind of reduced.
54
Details of the concert.
55
Details of the concert.
56
You probably won't remember many details of the concert later on.
57
When we think about the past, when we try to remember the past, we remember some things better than others.
58
Why is that?
59
Well, there are a few different explanations.
60
One explanation is that we remember something better if we already have some previous knowledge about it, some previous understanding of it.
61
For example, let's say you're going to go to a classical music concert.
62
If you don't know anything about classical music before you go to the concert, you probably won't remember many details of the concert later on.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
