22
Eileen, it's so good to have you in studio.
23
By the way, you really are the whole package.
24
I mean, Savannah and I were just talking about you.
25
You, first of all, an Olympic gold medalist.
26
You're everything in fashion.
27
What did you get on your SATs?
28
I got a 1580 on my SAT.
29
Okay.
30
Did you study?
31
Do you study all the time?
32
Are you a hard worker or do things just come easy for you?
33
I did take every single available online test for the SAT.
34
So I'm not going to sit back and be like, oh, it was easy.
35
But yeah, it was just standardized tests and you can study for them.
36
Well, hard work seems to be your theme.
37
when you got those medals in Beijing, was it a pinch-me moment, or was it like lots and lots of practice that happened to work out perfectly on that day?
38
I think it was both.
39
The really standout moment for me was when I landed that 1620 in Big Air, which was my first event.
40
And I've always said, you know, my message is about inspiring young girls
41
and inspiring more people to hear about the sport and to use it as a force to create interconnection and cross-cultural communication.
42
And I knew that it was such a big moment, and there were so many people watching, and it was my time to live up to that standard that I've set.
43
And so in that sense, I was like, no matter what, there is no failure, because if I don't land, the worst failure is to not try.
44
So I just wanted to try it.
45
And I'd never done it before.
46
I'd never even tried it on airbag or anything and landed it, got that gold medal.
47
And I was on top of the world.
48
Well, your mom taught you well.
49
You can tell that she's always supporting you.
50
She's actually here in studio and you did make a decision to compete for China
51
and I was just wondering the thought process because I know
52
that wasn't an easy decision I know it came with backlash
53
so tell me about that piece yeah
54
so for me it's always been about using force using sport as a force of communication
55
and especially in a sport like free skiing it's so free it's
56
so personal you use it and it's creative there's style
57
and a lot of people in China had never even heard of it
58
and So kind of introducing that sport culture to younger girls, especially, is it changed my life, you know.
59
And so to be able to have that kind of contact with the sport.
60
And now there are 300 million people in China who've gone on snow after the Winter Olympics.
61
And that impact is absolutely insane.
62
Did you feel like you needed to have a thick skin for what came at you after that?
63
Absolutely.
64
I mean, people always have their own opinions.
65
But for me, what I try to stick to is I know that there's no wrong or right.
66
There's only intention.
67
I'm trying to make the world a better place in my own way.
68
And if people disagree with that, that's okay.
69
And I just encourage them to make the world better in their way, right?
70
We can approach this situation from different standpoints.
71
So yeah, teach their own.
72
So you're going to Stanford.
73
Is that next on your list?
74
I'm going to college in the fall.
75
Yeah.
76

77
So you're going to college in the fall.

83
and expressive part of me
84

Sobre esta lição

Nesta prática, você vai explorar uma entrevista com Eileen Gu, uma atleta olímpica e ícone jovem, para aprimorar sua compreensão de inglês conversacional e aprender a falar com fluidez. Vamos analisar dicas de estudo, temas de motivação e expressões usadas em contextos formais e informais. Além disso, você vai praticar o shadowspeak, uma técnica eficaz para imitar a pronúncia e o ritmo da fala nativa.

Vocabulário e frases-chave

  • Pinch-me moment: Momento inacreditável, como se estivesse sonhando ("Foi um momento em que eu queria me apertar para ver se era real").
  • Step out of your comfort zone: Sair da zona de conforto ("Ela incentiva as meninas a sair da zona de conforto").
  • Juggle: Equilibrar (várias atividades) ("Ela tem que equilibrar fama, competições e faculdade").
  • Live up to: Cumprir (expectativas) ("Ela queria cumprir o padrão que ela mesma havia estabelecido").
  • Worst failure is to not try: O pior fracasso é não tentar ("Ela acredita que não tentar é pior do que errar").

Dicas de prática

Para praticar o shadow speak com este vídeo, siga estes passos: Primeiro, ouça um trecho curto (30 segundos) da entrevista e repita imediatamente, imitando o tom, a velocidade e a entonação de Eileen. A fala dela é clara, mas com um ritmo natural, então preste atenção nas pausas após frases como "I got a 1580 on my SAT" ou "the worst failure is to not try". Repita cada trecho até que você consiga acompanhar sem hesitação. Além disso, use a conversa para treinar a prática de conversação em inglês: role-play como entrevistador(a) e responda às perguntas de Eileen, usando as frases-chave aprendidas. Lembre-se: o objetivo é se sentir confortável com a fluidez, não apenas com a precisão. Aprender inglês com YouTube é uma ótima maneira de mergulhar no idioma real, e este vídeo é perfeito para isso!

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
