1
Guess what?
2
Today is International Book Day,
3
or as they say here in Spain,
4
El Dia del Libro, the day of the book,
5
which always makes me laugh.
6
It sounds like a disaster movie,
7
the day of the book,
8
when the books will come and invade earth and kill all of us for not reading enough.
9
Do we read enough?
10
Do we read too much?
11
I don't know.
12
I'm definitely a bookworm.
13
I love going into bookshops,
14
browsing the shelves and the books,
15
and I can't leave without buying something.
16
Recently, I bought this one,
17
ultra-processed people, all about the dangers of ultra-processed food.
18
Also, I couldn't help resist picking up a book about AI,
19
Gary Marcus, leading figure in AI.
20
I'm really interested in AI.
21
But of course, I do love novels as well.
22
I really enjoy a good thriller,
23
murder mystery kind of novel.
24
Listen for the lie, aim it in terror.
25
I guess whatever you like,
26
whether you like novels, biographies,
27
fiction or non-fiction, and whether you prefer paper books like me or digital books,
28
maybe you enjoy reading on the screen or ebooks.
29
Whatever takes your fancy, today is a good day to go and buy a book.
30
International Book Day.
31
Now, a lot of students,
32
not a lot, now and again,
33
one or two students ask me,
34
which books are good for my level?
35
Now, that's really difficult, right?
36
Because A, I don't know your level.
37
And B, how do you choose the right book for you?
38
Well, in some English schools,
39
there's a thing called the rule of five.
40
And you use your five fingers.
41
I'm going to adapt it for adults, right?
42
And for adults who are non-native speakers and here's how it works.
43
Take a book, open the book on any page and read the first five lines more or less.
44
As you read, every time you don't understand a word,
45
you put up a finger.
46
So as you're reading, more words come up.
47
Now, if you read and you've got,
48
so you're reading five lines,
49
five words you don't understand,
50
it's going to be too difficult.
51
Don't try reading that book.
52
You'll spend the whole time looking up words and not enjoying the book.
53
If it's zero words, you don't understand, i.e. you understand everything.
54
It might be too easy,
55
but it could be good.
56
It would be a really good read for improving your fluency, your reading fluency.
57
When you read things that are too easy,
58
you can read quickly and it's a great skill to develop.
59
and you can focus on the story,
60
the plot, the backdrop, everything.
61
The backstory, I mean.
62
So if you discover, okay,
63
one or two words you don't understand, that's about right.
64
That's about the right level.
65
There'll be a bit of a challenge,
66
but you'll be able to manage.
67
If you cannot understand three or four or five words,
68
it's going to be too many.
69
It's probably too difficult.
70
So that's a quick rule of five to help you choose a book if it's right for you.
71
I'm going to leave you with a little reading.
72
I'm going to read an extract from,
73
I thought it was real blood, like what?
74
I'm going to read you an extract from this one,
75
Listen for the Lie.
76
I have read it, it's quite a strong book.
77
I do recommend it, but it's not for the faint-hearted.
78
It is about murder and it is quite bloody,
79
but the story is about Lucy, the main character.
80
Let me read you a short extract.
81
I'm sorry Lucy
82
but we have to let you go he says to the
83
surprise of no one I nod we're downsizing unfortunately he looks
84
at the spot just past my shoulder instead of at my
85
face having assistance double up Chelsea's going to assist both me and Raymond I'm sorry I understand.
86
I get to my feet.
87
Jerry looks relieved that I'm not going to make a scene.
88
Through the ill-advised glass wall of the office,
89
I can see a security guard already standing at my desk.
90
I guess we're not getting the sorry you were fired and being surprised that you're a murderer drinks.
91
My desk is not as clean as Jerry's and I have to take a minute to gather up my mug,
92
water bottle, purse and several tubes of lip balm.
93
The security guard hovers the entire time.
94
He marches me through the now silent office to the elevator where everyone either watches or pretends not to see.
95
Chelsea looks pissed.
96
I step into the elevator.
97
The door slides shut.
98
The security guard leans closer to me with a grin.
99
One of his front teeth overlaps the other.
100
So, did you do it?
101
Did you kill her?
102
I sigh.
103
I don't know.
104
Seriously?
105
That's the truth?
106
The elevator door opens again with a ding.
107
I step out and look at him over my shoulder.
108
The truth doesn't matter.
109

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.
