Création de la leçon...
1
At home genetic tests can uncover connections you never knew existed.
2
Revelations like these can upend families with upsetting findings or enrich them with incredible discoveries.
3
That's what happened to Edric McNary of Chicago in 2017.
4
So it's interesting, so I am adopted, and so it's always been a curiosity of mine for most of my adult life.
5
I decided to try this Ancestry DNA kit to try to see if I could find my parents that way.
6
And then about a month after we sent in the results, we got our information back.
7
Genetic test companies start by reading the sequence of the three billion letters in your genetic code.
8
All variations in the code serve as markers that make your genes unique.
9
Algorithms identify those who share many of these markers, making them very likely to be close relatives.
10
In McNary's case, the test revealed a life-altering surprise.
11
It mentioned that there was someone else that had a very similar parent-child relationship genetically.
12
And so I reached out and was like, hey, I'm looking for a mother.
13
Did you live in Indiana?
14
Like, you know, in the 70s, you know, and actually the response I got back was actually, this is, um, this is for my daughter.
15
I'm actually looking for her father.
16
Well, obviously, I think the first thing was just like, there's no way.
17
You know, it's just kind of like how, I mean, obviously we know how that's possible.
18
And, you know, if I had awareness of that, I would have, you know, done the right thing by, you know, taking care of the mother and getting married and all that fun stuff.
19
So after some conversation, we kind of realized that she absolutely is my daughter.
20
Spitting image.
21
You cannot deny it.
22
It turned out that 17 years before, when McNary's daughter was conceived, her mother couldn't reach him.
23
When I first moved to Chicago, I had aspirations to be in the entertainment industry.
24
That being said, I was broke a lot.
25
So my cell phone was shut off a lot.
26
And so, you know, her mother and I were, you know, we had gone out and dated a little bit in our own separate ways.
27
We actually went to Michigan to meet with them.
28
My oldest daughter now, they're like peas in a pod.
29
They text each other, they talk to each other.
30
She comes and visits all the time.
31
She'll be here next week.
32
We get along great.
33
She's my homie.
34
She really is.
35
When she comes into town, we go for a pool.
36
She has been wanting to find her dad for her entire life, but now she has it, and she feels complete.
37
I actually turned on my GPS tracking on my phone, so she knows where I'm at all the time.
38
Maybe extreme, but I just want to just reinforce that point
39
that you will always know where I'm at before the rest of your life.
40
I love her.
41
I'm not going anywhere.
42
I'm here for good.
43
It's a message a genetic test allowed this father to send.
44

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.
