So, I'm going to tell you about my dad's ten minutes of fame.
5
It was when he starred on a TV show a few years ago, and it happened like this.
6
The family had a small shop just round the corner from where we live, and one day my aunt was working there on her own,
7
when a TV producer just happened to walk in and ask her
8
if she'd like to take part in this quiz show called The Big Question.
9
That was a big show, you remember, when we were small kids.
10
I suppose he thought she'd look good on TV, sort of photogenic.
11
Anyway, when she was asked, she just refused to even consider it.
12
She said she was afraid she'd get so nervous
13
that she'd be unable to say a word when a question came to her.
14
My elder sister, who was only 11 at the time, told her she should go because it was the chance of a lifetime.
15
but no one could say anything that'd make her change her mind.
16
Just by chance, at that moment, my dad walked in.
17
Well, he saw his opportunity and offered to go on the show himself.
18
Anyway, the producer agreed, and a couple of weeks later, my father took a hired car, because ours was very old,
19
and he drove to the TV studios.
20
I don't think he trusted the trains to arrive on time, but I reckon there must have been quite a chance he'd get stuck in traffic.
21
You know what it's like round London.
22
Well, anyway, when he got there, he suddenly realised that he'd left his tie behind, so he had to ask the producer if they'd got a spare one at the studio he could borrow.
23
Anyway, he was told he didn't need one, or a jacket for that matter either.
24
Oh, and I forgot to say, he didn't really study for the show.
25
You know, by reading encyclopedias and so on.
26
In fact, I don't think we've ever had an encyclopedia in the house, though I did suggest buying one for the occasion.
27
I suppose he could have gone online, but as far as I know he didn't.
28
He told me later that the only thing he'd done was what he always did in the evening,
29
which was read the popular press that we hadn't sold during the day and pick up lots of trivial facts.
30
Anyway, later what he told me was
31
that before the show he stood around with the other participants
32
in somewhere called the Green Room where they chatted to each other
33
and were given something to eat and drink and they got to know each other a bit.
34
My dad felt a bit intimidated I think because the other competitors seemed very confident and looked really keen.
35
My dad was expecting them to be doctors or lawyers or something but in fact,
36
although one of the women really was a university lecturer, the others were a bus driver and and somebody who worked in a bank, so quite a mixture.
37
When the show started, I think my dad felt quite lucky and very surprised to be able to answer his questions,
38
which were all about general knowledge and nothing too specialist, because he actually managed to win.
39
Anyway, he did the show, which was recorded, and all of us were longing to see him in it, especially as we knew he'd won.
40
We thought it'd be broadcast like the following week so it'd be really up to date, but in fact it came on nearly two months later
41
and we almost missed it because we'd almost forgotten about it by then.
42
But it was good because for weeks after, people were stopping my Dad in the street and saying, didn't I see you on the Big Question?
43
Finally though, my Dad didn't become a millionaire or come home in a sports car unfortunately,
44
but he did win a big television with a wide screen, we've still got it at home and it's great for the football.
45
And a big fluffy elephant, which he gave to me.
46
They were pretty impressive prizes for us then.
47
Well, for me, because I was still quite small.
48
So, that was my dad's ten minutes of fame.
49
I wonder what mine'll be?

अभ्यास सुझाव

इस वीडियो में सुनने के दौरान, shadowspeak तकनीक का उपयोग करके अभ्यास करें। वीडियो की गति धीमी-ज्यादा हो सकती है, इसलिए आप इसे बार-बार सुनें। पहले बार सुनने के बाद, कोशिश करें कि आपको वीडियो के मुख्य बिंदुओं को समझ में आए। जब आप इसे फिर से सुनें, उस समय shadowing करें, मतलब बोलने वाले के साथ बोलें।

इस प्रक्रिया में, आप shadowspeaks की विधि का उपयोग कर सकते हैं जहाँ आप धीरे-धीरे बोलने वाले के साथ खुद को जोड़ते हैं। वीडियो में व्यक्तियों की भावनाओं और स्वर को समझنے की कोशिश करें। जितना संभव हो, अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करते रहें और विभिन्न शब्दों के उच्चारण पर ध्यान दें। यह आपको आत्मविश्वास और धाराप्रवाहता में सुधार करने में मदद करेगा।

आपको यह भी याद रखना चाहिए कि shadowing site पर भी अलग-अलग स्तरों के कंटेंट उपलब्ध होते हैं जो आपके अभ्यास में सहायक हो सकते हैं।

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
