Pratica di Shadowing: How to Start a Speech - Impara a parlare inglese con i video
Creazione lezione...
1
What are the first words you should say in a speech?
2
And what are the last words you should say in a speech?
3
Now tomorrow, I don't know how many of you are speaking, but I guarantee if you go to conferences,
4
19 out of 20 speakers will start in one of these ways.
5
Number one, my name is Connor Neal, I'm from Tango, Tango and this talk is about the latest trend in monitoring strategies
6
Now all of you are sitting with a piece of paper in front of you
7
that says I'm Connor Neal I've come from Ireland, and I'm going to talk about tango 04 on this
8
So by repeating what you already know I'm giving a signal that it's a time to get your Blackberry out
9
I've just signaled that this talk is Opportunity to reconnect with Blackberry make sure the office is okay
10
maybe get some plans together for the weekend.
11
Another way to start.
12
The lights, the mic's working.
13
How much time have I got?
14
Okay, right.
15
Okay, is it plugged in?
16
And you laugh, but I guarantee tomorrow there's going to be some moments They get a little bit of that And why
17
because this is for some of you the first time you
18
see this individual they're here as a leader in their industry and
19
Your kid at school presenting on giraffes does a better job That's sad
20
So I think there's only three ways of starting a speech.
21
And it's the same if you went into a bar and there's a group of people, it's a networking event, much like you were at before you walked into this room.
22
And maybe I came up to a group, there's a group of three people who are having a little conversation.
23
I walk in and I say, Hi, I'm Connor.
24
I'm Irish, 38 years old.
25
I have an interest in sailing.
26
I like running. And they've walked away.
27
How do you get people to engage with you when you're networking?
28
I say, in networking, the best thing you can do is walk up.
29
I think we know someone in common.
30
Try and walk away when someone comes up and says that to you.
31
Hopefully you've done your research so you do know that you know someone in common.
32
But with LinkedIn, you can find out who knows who on anyone you want.
33
How to start a speech?
34
First way, with a question that matters to the audience.
35
how do you phrase a problem that the audience faces in a question
36
so that'd be the third best way of starting a speech
37
the second best way of starting a speech with a factoid that shocks there's more people alive today than have ever died.
38
There's more people alive today than have ever died.
39
There's a lot of speeches that can follow on from there.
40
Every two minutes, the energy reaching the Earth from the Sun is equivalent to the whole annual usage of humanity.
41
All the energy, all the cars, everything moving, all the lighting, all the air conditioning of the world,
42
in one year is equivalent to two minutes of sun.
43
Does that change how you think about energy?
44
So, what's a fact that shocks the audience into rethinking?
45
And Google has transformed your ability to get at these facts
46
given two or three minutes you can find out one whether anything I said is true
47
but you trust me because I looked the part and I'm from ESing those are in fact two true facts
48
I usually get someone come up to me and, are you sure?
49
How do they measure dead and alive? But it's true.
50
And it's not even close.
51
But the best way to start a speech, and the way that I hope all of you use from now forward,
52
is the same way we start a story to a child.
53
Now, how do we start a story to a child?
54
Erase una vez.
55
Once upon a time.
56
And what happens when you say once upon a time?
57
I can tell you what happens when I say once upon a time,
58
my daughter leans forward, gets ready to hear, engages.
59
And we were all trained as kids to know when a story is coming.
60
We also know when a teacher is about to deliver a 40-minute boring lecture that has no impact on our lives.
61
But in business, you don't hear Jack Welsh saying, once upon a time.
62
Steve Jobs doesn't start his speeches, once upon a time.
63
So there's a grown-up way of saying once upon a time.
64
If you listen to the conversations that are interesting around you, at a dinner table, in a networking event, if you listen to the people that are gathering the group of eight that are listening to them,
65
the way they're talking is different.
66
The way they start is different.
67
The way you tell stories as an adult is, in October, was the last time I was in this room, there were 120 people in the room,
68
and I was having a little conversation with one of the world experts on public speaking And he said something to me.
69
He said something to me That's had me thinking ever since
70
He said something to me that changed What I think about what's important in speaking
71
Now I can pause for about 30 seconds two or three minutes and you want to know what he said
72
so in speaking in sales we assume self-interest
73
so if you can tell a story from your own life
74
that connects you to why this topic is important to you why you first joined the company
75
when you first saw someone benefit and you saw how their life was changed
76
And I think here exploring what quality of life means for you In your business,
77
how do you affect quality of life for a customer?
78
Because that's where the stories that will start to connect you to the audience will come from
79
Because stories are about people They are not about objects, they are not about things.
80
It's about the people behind the things.
81
If you want to tell a good story about Tango, don't talk about the software.
82
Talk about the people who built the software.
83
What they do, how they are, what's important to them, what they sacrifice.
84
And in your own life, what does quality of life mean?
85
What sacrifices have you made to achieve something that was more important?
86
And if you can tell stories and the audience connect with those stories, then they want to hear what you have to say.
87
And all the reasons and all the benefits, they're all written in the document and in the PowerPoint.
88
But they need to trust you.
89
And they need to care about you as a person to engage with you and then decide that they will act.

Obiettivi di parlato in questo video
Questo video aiuta a raggiungere una tappa chiave nella fluency: iniziare un discorso in modo efficace, catturando l'attenzione dell'uditorio e creando connessione. È perfetto per chi vuole superare l'ansia di iniziare e imparare strategie concrete per coinvolgere gli ascoltatori fin dalle prime frasi.
Banca di frasi riutilizzabili
- "How do you phrase a problem that the audience faces in a question?" (Come formulare un problema che l'uditorio affronta in una domanda?)
- "a factoid that shocks" (un dato che sbalorda)
- "connects you to why this topic is important to you" (ti collega a perché questo argomento è importante per te)
- "the stories that will start to connect you to the audience" (le storie che inizieranno a collegarti all'uditorio)
- "they need to trust you and care about you as a person" (hanno bisogno di fidarsi di te e di interessarsi a te come persona)
Correggi i tuoi punti deboli
Il video aiuta a migliorare la ritmica del discorso e la pronuncia delle pause, soprattutto nelle parti cruciali come l'inizio. Molti apprendenti tendono a parlare troppo velocemente o a non fare pause sufficienti, perdendo l'attenzione dell'uditorio. Con le tecniche mostrate (domande, fatti shockanti, storie personali), impari a gestire il tempo, a creare suspense e a far sentire gli ascoltatori parte del discorso. Inoltre, praticare con questi modi di iniziare aiuta a superare la "rigidità" linguistica, rendendo il parlato più naturale e coinvolgente. Per ottimizzare l'allenamento, usa un shadowing site per ripetere le frasi nel tempo giusto: ascolta una frase, pausa e ripetila imitando il tono e la velocità. Così, migliorerai non solo la pronuncia ma anche la confidenza nel parlare in pubblico.
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.
