Crossing the world on a rickshaw to see the Olympics.

When Chen Guanming was a young man, he never travelled far from his farm in a small village in China.
67
But now he is famous for following the Olympic Games around the world in his three -wheeled rickshaw.
68
The story began in 2001, when he heard that the Games were coming to Beijing.
69
He left his village and cycled 90 ,000 kilometres all over China,
70
visiting 1 ,764 cities before finally arriving at the famous Bird's Nest Stadium.

Then he decided to travel to London for the 2012 Olympics.
72
In 2010, he packed his things into his rickshaw and began his journey.
73
He slept in his rickshaw and sometimes worked for food and money.
74
Finally, he got to France and caught a ferry to Britain.
75
He only travels by boat or plane when there's no other choice.
76
When he arrived in London, he met lots of tourists and told them his story.
77
Some people didn't believe him.
78
Then he showed them the stamps in his passport
79
and the photos of himself at places like the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur.
80
After the London Olympics, Chen left his rickshaw in the UK and caught a flight home to plan his next trip,
81
to the Rio Olympics.

In 2013, he flew back to London.
83
He put his rickshaw on a ship to Canada and he took a plane there.

A friend paid for his flight ticket.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
