we have a quote from henry david thoreau says i have long been of the opinion
3
that if work were such a splendid thing the rich would have kept more of it for themselves
4
and we have the word splendid.
5
Splendid means wonderful.
6
Great.
7
Fantastic. So it's splendid.
8
Splendid.
9
Splendid means wonderful.
10
So he's saying, if work was so wonderful, rich people would work more.
11
Right?
12
So it's kind of a joke that rich people make poor people work a lot, but rich people don't work a lot so maybe work isn't
13
so great actually that's what he's he's saying all right next we have another quote from robert kiyosaki
14
and he says to become successful quickly become an expert
15
at solving a certain type of problem
16
don't diversify okay diversify diversify means
17
to do many different kinds of things it kind of means variety similar to variety
18
but it's a verb it's an action so to diversify means to do many different things or to get many different things.
19
For example, when we invest, if you buy stocks from companies,
20
often people say you should diversify.
21
It means don't buy only one company,
22
by many different companies it's safer people think it's safer
23
so robert kiyosaki saying in your job
24
or in your business don't diversify he means don't try to do a lot of different things Don't do that.
25
Only do one kind of thing and be an expert.
26
That's the secret to success for Robert Kiyosaki.

So don't diversify.

37
she is succeeding very fast right she has a great job
38
she knows a lot of people she's going to succeed quickly she's on the fast track to success

80
So you have your passions.

For example, maybe your passion is bicycle riding.

90
Let's go to the next page now.
91
Page two.
92
And then I talk about success comes from being an expert problem solver.
93
That's the way to be very successful in your job or career or with your own business.
94
You have to be an expert problem solver.
95
You solve a certain kind of problem, and you're very good at it.
96
And then I give my own example.
97
I did this with my own teaching.
98
When I started to teach English many years ago, I quickly realized
99
that speaking fluency was the number one problem for students fluency
100
another nice word fluency means flow fluency means movement movement easy
101
movement of words that's the idea it means the words come out of your mouth easily right you have fluency
102
if you speak quickly and easily
103
fluency does not mean perfect you might make mistakes native speakers make mistakes everyone makes mistakes
104
but if you speak easily and quickly very fast very easy that's fluency speaking fluency
105
so i realized ah this is the number one problem right students cannot speak with fluency okay
106
so I said most could read well most of my students could read better than speaking
107
and most had studied a lot of grammar and they took tests
108
but they could not speak or understand quickly and easily
109
so I said aha that's the big problem I need to solve
110
that problem so I decided to be an expert at solving this problem
111
and only this problem i knew i had to focus i deliberately
112
chose not to teach writing deliberately means with choice it means you think about it
113
and you choose to do it not an accident it's not
114
an accident it's deliberate it means you want to do it you choose to do it you think about it first.
115
So I deliberately chose not to teach writing.
116
It wasn't an accident that I don't teach writing, right?
117
I thought about it and then I decided I will not teach writing.
118
I deliberately chose not to do it. And I enjoy writing.
119
In fact, I'm a freelance writer.
120
Freelance means independent.
121
Now, with jobs, freelance means you do not work for a company.
122
For example, as a writer, I did not work for one magazine.
123
I wrote an article.
124
I wrote a story.
125
Then I would sell it to different magazines,
126
sometimes one magazine, sometimes another magazine, right?
127
I was an independent writer.
128
That's called freelance, a freelance writer.
129
You can be a freelance computer expert.
130
You can be freelance anything.
131
It means you work independently.
132
You do a job.
133
They pay you for the job only right you do not go every day
134
and you do not work for
135
that company you just do one small job they give you money
136
and then maybe next time you sell to another company
137
so that's freelance freelance so i'm a freelance writer
138
and i have a degree in journalism i studied journalism in college and university.
139
However, I needed to focus, and speaking was the number one problem I wanted to solve.
140
So I became an expert at helping people speak English easily and fast.
141
I became an expert in one kind of problem.
142
not everything not writing and reading and speaking
143
and uh toefl right just speaking and listening speaking
144
and listening that's it that's what i am an expert at solving that problem okay
145

146
because of this and then the next paragraph i said i talk about i became successful i started my own business
147
effortless english it became very big it's growing it's successful
148

162

168

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
