1
- I just want to talk about the beard for a minute because it's quite something.
2
And how long did it take you to grow it, first of all.
3
- It was six months, and then I think I had it for an additional year after that.
4
- Mm-hmm. And how did people treat you?
5
- There's the shot of me.
6
- No, that's-- no, that's not what it was during the movie, right?
7
That's cleaned up. - No, that was it.
8
- Oh, really? Well then it didn't look like that in the movie. It--it--maybe it's 'cause there was so much ice on it too 'cause it was always frozen. - That was actually wax.
9
I had a fantastic makeup artist in this movie who did all the stuff from the bear mauling, and it was wax that she dribbled all over my face every day.
10
It was about a four to five hour makeup job every day with all the scars.
11
So again, it was just a joy, the whole experience.
12
- But now see, you're growing it back again or something.
13
Or are you just going to keep it at that level?
14
A light stubble. I'm keeping it at a light stubble.
15
- A light stubble? - Yeah.
16
- Do you like wearing a beard?
17
- I don't think I'll ever have a beard like that ever again.
18
Unless it's for a role.
19
But yeah, it's hard to maintain.
20
It's just--stuff gets in there, you know.
21
You're eating and then food falls in, and you're...
22
- Right. And you have to shampoo it, right?
23
- You have to shampoo it, yeah.
24
- And do you put conditioner in it?
25
- I did. I did put conditioner-- - 'Cause you'd want it to be soft.
26
- You do want it to be soft. - Right.
27
- Otherwise it gets like a Brillo pad.
28
- And can you--yes. And who wants to feel that?
29
- Who wants it? - And when you--when you have food in it, can you tell?
30
- It's very visible, yeah. Very visible.
31
- I mean, no, but if you don't have a mirror, sometimes do you feel like you've walked around and there's been food in your beard?
32
- Well, if you have good enough friends, they notify you if you have mustard on your beard or something like that.
33
- Right. - They let you know.
34
- All right. Just checking.
35
So you've always been like a daredevil, but you've done--I think I've talked to you about you swim with sharks, or you have.
36
- Yeah. - And you've jumped out of an airplane. - Yeah.
37
- On a regular basis, or-- - I only did that once.
38
- Once. Will you do it again? - When you're-- when both parachutes don't open, you tend to not go repeat something like that, yeah.
39
- What are you talking about? Well then, how'd you get down?
40
- I had--I jumped out of the airplane, and then my first chute didn't open.
41
They cut--it's tandem, so somebody's on your back.
42
They cut that line.
43
We've started freefalling towards Earth, and that's when you get the, you know, 8x10 glossies of your whole life flashing before your eyes.
44
And then, the second one was tangled as well, and I saw my friends sort of popping off with their, you know, their parachutes, and I'm still plummeting towards planet Earth.
45
And--and then that was tangled for about a good, I don't know, 20, 30 seconds, and then he untangled it, and then he told me, "Oh, you're probably gonna break your legs now because this-- we're going too fast." So it was one of the worst experiences of my life, and I'll never do it again. - And did you break your legs?
46
- I did not break my legs. - Wow.
47
So he's whispering in your ear--or yelling in your-- - He was screaming. - Screaming in your-- "Break your leg." - "You're gonna break your legs." - "What?
48
I can't hear you." Wow, that's just horrible.
49
So what's the scariest thing you've ever done?
50
- I was on a plane to Russia, and the engine exploded.
51
I was looking out the window and the entire engine just turned into a fireball.
52
It was right after Sully had that incident happen to him where the geese flew into both engines.
53
- Right. And he landed on the river.
54
- Yeah. This happened in one of the engines, and I was the only person there that seemed to see this, but it was a flaming fireball, and it was all Russian passengers.
55
And I kinda felt like I'd already died and gone to heaven 'cause no one said anything.
56
And I was screaming at the top of my lungs saying, "What the hell is going on here?" And the people just kinda looked back at me and the stewardess came out and said, "We seem to have a slight problem here." And the Russian guy finally said, "What is the problem?" And he said, "Well, we-- we lost one of our engines." And he sa--he goes, "How many engines did we have?" He goes, "Well, we had two. Now we have one." And...
57
he proceeded to say, "That is not--that is not good.
58
That is not good." And we basically dumped fuel for 45 minutes, and did an emergency landing, and all our tires exploded and there was a hundred different ambulances there, and it was on CNN. That was another bummer.
59
- Wow. Oh, my God.
60
That's incredible.
61
- I feel like I should write a book now.
62
- Yeah, well no, I'm gonna write it.

Informazioni su questa lezione

In questa lezione, gli studenti avranno l'opportunità di migliorare le loro abilità di pratica di conversazione in inglese attraverso la trascrizione di un'intervista coinvolgente. I partecipanti praticheranno tecniche di shadowing in inglese, ripetendo frasi e dialoghi in modo da affinare la loro pronuncia e comprendere meglio il ritmo naturale della lingua. L'intervista tratta di esperienze personali, come la crescita della barba e il salto con il paracadute, offrendoti un contesto reale per il tuo apprendimento quotidiano.

Vocabolario chiave e frasi

  • Beard - barba
  • Makeup artist - truccatrice
  • Tandem - tandem (nel contesto del paracadutismo)
  • Freefall - caduta libera
  • Scary - spaventoso
  • Experience - esperienza
  • Maintain - mantenere
  • Visible - visibile

Consigli per la pratica

Quando pratichi con questa trascrizione, è utile adottare la tecnica del shadowspeak. Inizia ascoltando attentamente l'audio e cerca di cogliere il tono e l'intonazione degli oratori. Dopo aver ascoltato una breve sezione, ripeti le frasi immediatamente dopo averle udite, cercando di imitare il più possibile il loro modo di parlare. Poiché il ritmo dell'intervista è abbastanza colloquiale e naturale, assicurati di non affrettarti, ma di mantenere il flusso della conversazione.

Per rendere la tua pratica ancora più efficace, considera di registrarti mentre parli. Riascoltare la tua pronuncia ti aiuterà a identificare aree di miglioramento. Non dimenticare di prestare attenzione a come le parole vengono collegate tra loro; questo è particolarmente importante nella pratica di conversazione in inglese. Rendi la tua esperienza di shadowing in inglese un momento di apprendimento vivace e coinvolgente, e non esitare a ripetere le frasi più volte finché non ti sentirai a tuo agio con esse.

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.
