Questions?

Hey there.
4
Sorry about the loss, but it's been a remarkable run from qualifiers to the quarterfinal.
5
Can you reflect upon just how maybe, I know it's a little tough to think about now, but how proud of you are of the run, just given that big reset you had in Florida to where you are now?
6
I think the win that I had so far for sure is great,
7
but obviously today in the match I got a lot of chance in the third set, but I didn't took it.
8
That was a bit pity for me to lose this match.
9
But obviously, I could take positive things from U.S.
10
Open this year.
11
Despite the loss, what do you think was the key today?
12
What you could have done to win?
13
What do you think you could have done?
14
Well, obviously, I think that passing shot I missed makes some difference.
15
And of course, I think maybe when she serves second serve,
16
I could be more aggressive sometimes and make a bit less mistake in return because when the rally gets long, I think is where I get more points.
17
So, I mean, today is just a few points makes a difference and that's it.
18
I have nothing to say.
19
Okay.
20
Abel.
21
Congratulations on a nice run, Chinwen.
22
How does your mindset, as you, I know it's right after the match, but looking towards the end of the year, the rest of the tournaments you'll play, how different does your mindset feel now,
23
maybe compared to earlier this year in spring
24
when you were feeling like you couldn't get any rhythm or really have a chance to fight in matches?
25
I think the good thing is I know how to compete better than before and in the beginning of the year.
26
In the beginning of the year I was a bit totally out of tournament rhythm
27
and obviously this tournament helps me to find myself little by little.
28
In the match just today I think there's a lot to learn
29
when I lost loss
30
because there are some decisions in the important moment i wasn't doing doing right
31
and that was also a very physical match for me she got a great serve
32
and i think i have to be really focused to return
33
every single time um in general i could take some positive things
34
and the rest i could go back
35
and to do what i can do better congratulations on your
36
run um what will you carry forward expanding on Ava's question
37
throughout the rest of the year into next year especially having these great comeback wins
38
and those 5-0 down sets um i think tennis also gives me a lesson all the time
39
um that as soon as the match is not over you just have to keep fighting
40
because you never know what can happen in one tennis game
41
and second things is i think there's so much more I still have on myself to improve.
42
So that's the positive things.
43
And yeah, no more I can say.
44
We know how you're different tennis-wise from a year or two years ago.
45
How are you different personality-wise?
46
Well, I would say deep inside me, I haven't changed that much.
47
the things is after an injury because I'm not doing so well so I try to learn like a bit
48
hide a bit my character to don't show that much
49
because you know when you don't have a good result people just judge you
50
but I'm just the same person doesn't matter if I win
51
or if I lost I think the I think it's important to be a good person and then stay humble in life.
52
But sometimes people just don't like when you speak the reality
53
and when you like they like more when you speak fake stuff
54
but that's not how I am I would say I I
55
become better I'm more open compared to two three years ago
56
but the base has never changed I'm still myself yeah last two
57
congratulations you'll get a chance to probably play at home in the next few months and just
58
How relieved and excited are you to have that opportunity now having taken this momentum from this tournament hopefully into the fall?
59
I always I'm so excited to play in China and especially
60
I coming from calling US Open and then reach until here that was a really really difficult journey for me
61
Of course playing at home always I'm more motivated
62
and also in the same time carry on some pressure because I really want to do it well there.
63
But I just want to say, you know, keep calm and just training day by day, you know, focus in the match by match,
64
focus on the present, because when your mind's trying to go everywhere thinking too much, that's not helping for tennis.
65
Last question.
66
That was my question.
67
That was your question.
68
Thank you very much.
69
Thank you.

Perché esercitarti a parlare con questo video?

Questo video di una conferenza stampa sportiva è un ottimo strumento per migliorare la tua pronuncia e la fluenza in inglese. Le conversazioni sono reali, con domande e risposte spontanee, il che ti aiuta a familiarizzare con il linguaggio quotidiano usato in contesti formali ma naturali. Esercitarti con "shadow speak" (ripetere immediatamente dopo il parlante) qui ti permetterà di acquisire ritmi e intonazioni autentiche, fondamentali per comunicare in modo efficace. Un shadowsite specializzato in questo tipo di contenuti può amplificare i risultati, offrendo un contesto pratico per mettere in pratica le abilità.

Grammatica e espressioni nel contesto

  • "I didn't took it": Un errore comune ma illuminante. La forma corretta è "I didn't take it", ma questo esempio mostra come nel parlato spontaneo si possono fare slip. Osservare tali momenti aiuta a riconoscere e correggere i propri errori.
  • "there are some decisions in the important moment i wasn't doing right": Struttura con "there are" e participio passato. La frase enfatizza le azioni non corrette in situazioni cruciali, un modo utile per esprimere rimprovero costruttivo.
  • "as soon as the match is not over you just have to keep fighting": "As soon as" (non appena) usato per connettere condizioni. Questa espressione è chiave per parlare di situazioni in cui l'azione continua finché non si verifica un evento.

Trappole di pronuncia comuni

Nelle risposte della tennista, parole come "pity" (pronunciata /ˈpɪti/, non /ˈpaɪti/) e "rhythm" (/ˈrɪðəm/) possono creare difficoltà. La "th" in "rhythm" è sottile e spesso sbagliata da chi apprende. Inoltre, frasi come "I could take positive things" hanno un accento su "positive" che dà enfasi al messaggio. Usare un metodo di "shadowspeak" ti aiuterà a imitare queste sfumature, rendendo la tua pronuncia più naturale. Un buon shadowsite può fornire ripetizioni controllate per superare queste trappole.

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.
