1
This story is about Michelle, a student learning to swim.
2
We'll look at the words breath and breathe and how to give instructions and praise.
3
Why does Michelle need swimming lessons?
4
My dad took me to swim in Yawansreeba when I was about three or five years old.
5
I was just hanging around in a life -saving ring and
6
while my dad was chatting to his friend I was being naughty and I accidentally slipped through.
7
So within a few seconds I wasn't really panicked.
8
I knew I probably would die, and I was lucky enough.
9
I got pooed right on my hair, and I was saved.
10
But since then, I just never feel really comfortable to learn how to swim.
11
She nearly drowned when she was little, so she doesn't like the water.
12
She told the story using the past continuous tense, which combines was with the ing form of the verb.
13
She said, while my dad was chatting,
14
I was just hanging around and I was being naughty.
15
Listen.
16
I was just hanging around in a life -saving ring and
17
while my dad was chatting to his friend I was being naughty and I accidentally slipped through.
18
The past continuous is useful when telling stories
19
because you can talk about more than on one thing that happened at the same time.
20
Now listen to the way the instructor talks to her.
21
Okay, just turn around.
22
Just turn around this way so we're walking backwards.
23
Just breathing naturally.
24
Make sure you breathe out.
25
You don't want to hold your breath.
26
You wouldn't talk like this if you're asking someone you didn't know to do something.
27
You would be more polite and say, please turn around.
28
But when giving instructions, it's best to ask directly.
29
OK, just turn round.
30
Just turn round this way.
31
So we're walking backwards.
32
Just breathe naturally.
33
Make sure you breathe out.
34
You don't want to hold your breath.
35
She said, you don't want to hold your breath.
36
To hold your breath is to not breathe.
37
Notice that the verb is breathe, spelled with an e on the end,
38
and the noun is spelled without the final e and pronounced with an e sound, a breath.
39
What does Michelle say about her lessons?
40
I have to say that having a professional instructor, it helps me to relax,
41
yeah, rather than just trying to figure out what's wrong and what I'm going to do by myself.
42
Having a professional instructor helps her relax and shows her the best way to do the right things.
43
She doesn't have to figure out or think about what to do.
44
Now listen to her teacher.
45
You can feel my fingers, but I'm not supporting you.
46
Wonderful.
47
Congratulations.
48
You're doing it all by yourself.
49
You're self -powered.
50
She doesn't just give instructions she uses praise and encouragement.
51
Listen again.
52
Wonderful.
53
Congratulations, you're doing it all by yourself.
54
You're self -powered.
55
You use words like wonderful and congratulations to encourage and praise.
56
And what's the result of this encouragement?
57
I want to try to maybe do the full lap.
58
Oh, beautiful.
59
Fantastic.
60
I did it.
61
Well done, Michelle.
62
So we've seen that giving instructions involves directly telling people what to do and using encouraging words such as beautiful,
63
fantastic and wonderful.
64
The verb is breathe, spelled with a final e, and the noun is breath, spelled without the e.
65
We'll finish with Michelle talking about her achievement.
66
For the past five years, I was always looking at my friends, family, enjoying getting to the pool or sea.
67
Now I can join them, you know, I'll definitely feel more involved.
68
Yeah, and, you know, it's great to share the fun.
69
Well done, well done.
70
Fantastic.
71
Congratulations.
72
Thank you so much.

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.
