11
Today, I'm talking to teenage surfer, Abby Fielding.
12
Abbey, welcome.
13
Tell us about how you started surfing.
14
Well, my family have always loved going to our local beach, and my dad became keen on surfing.
15
He wasn't very good, but he really wanted to show me how to do it.
16
My mum offered to buy me a board.
17
I still wasn't keen, but then I started watching surfing competitions near home, and when I saw the standard of the surfers,
18
I just felt I could do better.
19
Very confident.
20
How easy was it to get started?
21
Well, it's free to practice once you've got the equipment.
22
I went to the local surfing school for a bit too.
23
but it can cost quite a lot to buy what you need.
24
I was lent some boards before I bought one to see which type I liked best.
25
That was useful.
26
So do you go surfing all year round now?
27
Yes, even in winter when it's cold.
28
The sea is actually warmer than the land.
29
I just wear the same wetsuit as I do in the summer, although sometimes I do add gloves.
30
You'd be surprised how many people are out there surfing with me.
31
And your biggest achievement was surfing an enormous wave.
32
Oh, yeah.
33
That kind of wave only comes along a couple of times a year.
34
I borrowed a large board, as mine wasn't big enough, and I was nervous.
35
The waves were a lot bigger than they look from the beach.
36
People say it hurts if you fall off in those conditions, but I didn't have time to think about that.
37
So, any advice for other teenagers taking up surfing?
38
Well, you're never too young to start.
39
Not on big waves, of course, in case you have to swim back to the beach.
40
But in many places, you need to know how to surf whatever the waves are like, good and bad.
41
and surfing schools are okay, but watching other surfers is just as useful, and practicing yourself of course.
42
So, you're still young, what next?
43
Well, I'm going to miss the next big competition as I've injured my ankle, But my future's definitely in surfing,
44
so I need to investigate what opportunities there are.
45
There's a course in surfing science you can do at the university here, But I'm not sure that's the right path for me at the moment.
46
Well, thank you, Abby.
47
Now listen again.

Lo scenario: un'intervista con una surfista teen

Il video ci porta in una situazione reale: un'intervista radiofonica a Abby, una giovane surfista, che parla dei suoi inizi, delle sfide e dei consigli per chi vuole iniziare. Queste conversazioni informali sono perfette per esercitarti a capire l'inglese parlato, con toni naturali e temi concreti. Ecco perché è un ottimo materiale per imparare l'inglese con YouTube e migliorare la tua pronuncia.

Frasi e collocazioni utili da memorizzare

  • "became keen on": "divenire appassionato di" – Abby dice che suo padre "became keen on surfing", un modo naturale per esprimere l'inizio di un interesse.
  • "lent some boards": "prestare delle tavole" – Un verbo e un sostantivo che spesso vanno insieme nel contesto sportivo.
  • "add gloves": "aggiungere i guanti" – Utile per parlare di accessori da sport in condizioni fredde.
  • "investigate what opportunities there are": "indagare sulle opportunità disponibili" – Una frase utile per parlare di piani futuri.

La tua sfida: shadowing con Abby

Ora è il momento di mettere in pratica lo shadowing in inglese, una tecnica chiamata anche "shadowspeak" o "shadow speak". Riproduci il video e ascolta attentamente la voce di Abby. Poi, ripeti le sue frasi immediatamente dopo di lei, cercando di imitare la sua intonazione e il suo ritmo. Concentrati sulle parti dove parla di come ha iniziato a surfare: "Well, my family have always loved going to our local beach..." Ecco una sfida concreta: ripeti questa frase 5 volte, finché non la senti fluida. Questo esercizio, detto anche "shadowspeaks", ti aiuterà a migliorare la tua pronuncia e la tua capacità di rispondere velocemente. Non dimenticare: la pratica costante è la chiave per imparare bene l'inglese!

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.
