In a recent survey, over 80% of 18 to 25-year-olds said getting rich was their first or second most important life goal,
3
whilst 51% said the same about becoming famous.
4
Of course, being a celebrity can be problematic.
5
We have all seen stories about stars turning to drink
6
or drugs as they find themselves unable to cope with the emotional stress of life in the public eye.
7
However, this doesn't seem to discourage anyone.
8
The main problem for many seems to be how to actually become rich and famous, especially if you have no real talent.
9
Given this, here's our guide on how to go about it.
10
One date someone who's already famous.
11
Obviously, finding a famous partner is easier said than done.
12
However, anyone who can manage to catch the eye of a top footballer
13
or movie star can expect to find themselves on the front page of the gossip magazines before too long.
14
This might then be enough to get a TV or advertising company interested and you can end up becoming a star yourself.
15
To go on a reality TV show, the kind of out-of-tune singing
16
that was once reserved for the privacy of a karaoke room has now become primetime Saturday night TV
17
and shows such as The X Factor and Pop Idol have brought instant fame and fortune to hundreds around the world.
18
Take Norwegian Kurt Nilsson, for example.
19
His versions of well-known songs were so popular that he was able to give up his job as a plumber.
20
He then went on to win World Idol and became a huge star in his native country.
21
If you can sing, you could follow in Kurt's footsteps.
22
If this option isn't available to you, then why not just try to appear on any of the reality TV shows, which require no talent at all from their contestants?
23
Go viral.
24
The internet has given many their 15 minutes of fame.
25
You get a message from a friend containing a link to an online video, a blog or a new site.
26
You have a look, forward the link, and before long, things start getting out of control, and a million people have seen it.

Entitled, Charlie Bit My Finger.
30
nothing much happens in it, apart from a finger being bitten.
31
However, the clip is now the fourth most watched film ever on YouTube, and the family has earned hundreds of thousands of pounds from advertising.
32
For inherit a fortune, obviously, if you want to come into a lot of money when one of your loved ones dies,
33
it helps if you have incredibly rich parents, like Paris Hilton's.
34
Alternatively, you just need to be lucky when choosing your friends, like Chinese restaurant owners Kim Sing and Bi Lian Man were.

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.
