I think companies should provide free training courses for their employees because both the workers and the company can benefit from them.
107
Employees can improve their skills without worrying about the cost, and the company can have a more knowledgeable and productive workforce.
108
This can also help employees stay up to date with new technology and changes in their industry.

For example, if a company offers free computer or communication training,
110
employees may be able to work faster and serve customers better.

For these reasons, I believe companies should pay for useful training programs for their employees.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
