Track 8 Reading 4B The Changing Face of Kung Fu In the 5th century,

according to legend, an Indian master taught some monks at the Shaolin temple a series of exercises, or forms, inspired by the movements of animals.

These forms became the basis for the style of fighting known as Kung Fu.

Over 16 centuries, the monks have used kung fu for self-defense and in war.

With it, they have won many battles against their enemies.

In Deng Feng today, 10 kilometers from the Shaolin Temple, there are over 60 martial arts schools with more than 50,000 students.

They come to the schools for a variety of reasons.

Some hope to become movie stars.

Others come to learn skills that will ensure good jobs in the military or police force.

A few are sent by their parents to learn self-control and hard work.

Master Hu Zhengsheng teaches at a small school in Dengfeng.

Recently he was offered an important role in a Kung Fu movie.

It would have been good publicity for his school, but he did not accept.

He doesn't agree with how Kung Fu is often shown in movies.

He feels they showed too much violence.

Unlike many large schools, which teach acrobatics and kickboxing, Hu teaches his students traditional kung fu forms.

He teaches them the way his master, a Shaolin legend, taught him.

But attracting new students to this style of kung fu has become a problem.

Hu is afraid his art will soon die out.

He has to remind his students that kung fu was designed for fighting, not to entertain.

There are no high kicks or acrobats here, he says.

It is hard to convince boys to spend many years learning something that won't make them wealthy or famous. Who students have little?

They sleep in unheated rooms and train outside no matter what the temperature.

They hit trees with their bare hands and take turns sitting on each other's shoulders to build leg strength.

Why such hardship?

To master Kung Fu they must learn respect and how to eat bitterness, a Mandarin expression meaning to endure suffering.

The life of a Shaolin Master who teaches is not easy or attractive.

Master Hu is in a difficult position.

For old traditions to survive, the young must learn.

Gradually he has begun offering a few courses in kickboxing and the acrobatic kung fu forms, hoping to attract new students.

Then, maybe, he'll be able to convince them to learn Shaolin kung fu the traditional way.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
