1
Thank you for your time the other day, it's just unfortunately we think someone else is going to be a better fit for the role.
2
Again, thank you for your time.
3
Once again he doesn't answer the phone, what a surprise.
4
Look, we're done.
5
This is just over.
6
Just don't want to talk to you anymore.
7
Goodbye.
8
The chances are if you're watching this then you're probably a living breathing human being for one
9
and a car enthusiast as well.
10
But this means we've all had low moments in our lives, you know, we're all the same in that respect.
11
I've had a fair few, I must admit, and I've never really stopped to think how I've managed to claw myself out of them.
12
I've got great friends and family, a lovely little support network of people that can help me out if the proverbial hits the fan,
13
but why is my brain still intact?
14
I think it might be this.
15
Big surprise, this is my Mazda MX-5 Mark IV.
16
Now I've had this car for coming up to a year, it's absolutely perfect for what I use it for.
17
Super economical, rear-wheel drive, manual gearbox, limited slip differential, you can do the maths on that one I think.
18
It's been an absolute blast to drive.
19
The thing is, when you're going through a bit of a hard time, the best thing you can possibly do for yourself is put your phone away.
20
Stop looking back at old text messages and photos and just do something else.
21
It's the doing something else bit that catches most people out.
22
This is a list of the best selling cars in the UK for 2024.
23
Now, all but three of these are SUVs, and almost all of them can be had as fully electric cars as well, which may count towards this score.
24
Now while I don't have a problem with that per se, as a car enthusiast looking to just drive that poses a bit of an issue.
25
One thing you can't do with a non-1-1 car is escape from your thoughts.
26
See you've gone through a bad time you want to go for a drive to kind of escape it all.
27
So you hop in the car, you start driving, and what you realize quite quickly is as long as you don't have the music on absolute full blast,
28
you're left with nothing but your thoughts.
29
Everything's so quiet, there's hardly any road noise, you know, it's just you in there.
30
In the OX5, there's noise, you're having to deal with a, you know, really pin sharp manual gearbox, you're having to think about other things.
31
I quite like that.
32
When I've needed it, it's been there.
33
Sitting on the drive and ready to go.
34
Ready for me to complain about my day.
35
One bolt action gear change at a time.
36
It's therapy, to be fair, but cheaper.
37
It's a relationship, but man and machine rather than human to human, and it can be a full-time job just trying to keep the rest of the way.
38
But it's also a community.
39
Now, don't laugh, but basically all of my friends have one.
40
I don't think that's a coincidence.
41
It's just simply a joy to drive and forget the rest of the world.
42
So maybe you lost someone last year, need a way to express yourself.
43
Struggling at work? that 9-5 feels like it's never going to end, well put it all behind you.
44
It's freedom.
45
So even if there isn't anyone in your passenger seat for now, and the world seems to be closing in, go and buy yourself an MX-5.
46
It might just save your life.
47
Thank you.

Informazioni su questa lezione

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.
