Pratica di Shadowing: Simplifying Fractions - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

Creazione lezione...
1
In this lesson, I'm going to talk about how to simplify fractions.
2
So let's start with a basic example, 6 over 8.
3
How can we simplify this fraction?
4
Well, notice that 6 and 8 are both even numbers.
5
So therefore, we can divide each number by 2.
6
6 divided by 2 is 3.
7
8 divided by 2 is 4.
8
And so the answer is going to be 3 over 4.
9
Now what about 8 over 12?
10
How can we simplify that fraction?
11
So 8 and 12 are even numbers, so we can divide each number by 2.
12
8 divided by 2 is 4, 12 divided by 2 is 6.
13
Now we still have even numbers, so we can divide it by 2 again.
14
4 divided by 2 is 2, 6 divided by 2 is 3.
15
so the answer is 2 over 3.
16
Another way in which you can do that problem is you could realize
17
that 8 is basically 4 times 2 and 12 is 4 times 3
18
and so you can cancel 4 and then this will give you the final result of 2 over 3.
19
For the sake of practice go ahead and try these two examples 15 over 24 and 35 over 49
20
go ahead and simplify those two fractions 15 is 5 times 3 24 is 8 times 3
21
so we could cancel a 3 and
22
so the final answer for the first example it's going to be 5 over 8
23
Now let's move on to the next example.
24
What do you know about 35 and 49?
25
35 and 49 have a common number that goes into both of them, and that is 7.
26
35 is 7 times 5.
27
49 is 7 times 7.
28
And so we could cancel a 7, giving us the answer 5 over 7.
29
Try these two.
30
48 over 72 and also 38 over 57.
31
Now 48, what two numbers do you think is equal to 48?
32
The first two numbers that come in my mind are 8 and 6.
33
And 72 is 9 times 8 or 8 times 9.
34
So we could cancel on 8.
35
Now we could still simplify this further.
36
6 is 3 times 2.
37
9 is 3 times 3.
38
And so these can be cancelled.
39
Thus the final answer for that problem is 2 over 3.
40
Now what about 38 and 57?
41
Both numbers are divisible by 19.
42
19 times 2 is 38.
43
19 times 3 is 57.
44
And once again, the final answer is 2 over 3.
45
So now you know how to simplify fractions.

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.
