Questions?

Cole.

Hey there.
4
Sorry about the loss, but it's been a remarkable run from qualifiers to the quarterfinal.
5
Can you reflect upon just how maybe, I know it's a little tough to think about now, but how proud of you are of the run, just given that big reset you had in Florida to where you are now?
6
I think the win that I had so far for sure is great,
7
but obviously today in the match I got a lot of chance in the third set, but I didn't took it.
8
That was a bit pity for me to lose this match.
9
But obviously, I could take positive things from U.S.
10
Open this year.
11
Despite the loss, what do you think was the key today?
12
What you could have done to win?
13
What do you think you could have done?
14
Well, obviously, I think that passing shot I missed makes some difference.
15
And of course, I think maybe when she serves second serve,
16
I could be more aggressive sometimes and make a bit less mistake in return because when the rally gets long, I think is where I get more points.
17
So, I mean, today is just a few points makes a difference and that's it.
18
I have nothing to say.
19
Okay.
20
Abel.
21
Congratulations on a nice run, Chinwen.
22
How does your mindset, as you, I know it's right after the match, but looking towards the end of the year, the rest of the tournaments you'll play, how different does your mindset feel now,
23
maybe compared to earlier this year in spring
24
when you were feeling like you couldn't get any rhythm or really have a chance to fight in matches?
25
I think the good thing is I know how to compete better than before and in the beginning of the year.
26
In the beginning of the year I was a bit totally out of tournament rhythm
27
and obviously this tournament helps me to find myself little by little.
28
In the match just today I think there's a lot to learn
29
when I lost loss
30
because there are some decisions in the important moment i wasn't doing doing right
31
and that was also a very physical match for me she got a great serve
32
and i think i have to be really focused to return
33
every single time um in general i could take some positive things
34
and the rest i could go back
35
and to do what i can do better congratulations on your
36
run um what will you carry forward expanding on Ava's question
37
throughout the rest of the year into next year especially having these great comeback wins
38
and those 5-0 down sets um i think tennis also gives me a lesson all the time
39
um that as soon as the match is not over you just have to keep fighting
40
because you never know what can happen in one tennis game
41
and second things is i think there's so much more I still have on myself to improve.
42
So that's the positive things.
43
And yeah, no more I can say.
44
We know how you're different tennis-wise from a year or two years ago.
45
How are you different personality-wise?
46
Well, I would say deep inside me, I haven't changed that much.
47
the things is after an injury because I'm not doing so well so I try to learn like a bit
48
hide a bit my character to don't show that much
49
because you know when you don't have a good result people just judge you
50
but I'm just the same person doesn't matter if I win
51
or if I lost I think the I think it's important to be a good person and then stay humble in life.
52
But sometimes people just don't like when you speak the reality
53
and when you like they like more when you speak fake stuff
54
but that's not how I am I would say I I
55
become better I'm more open compared to two three years ago
56
but the base has never changed I'm still myself yeah last two
57
congratulations you'll get a chance to probably play at home in the next few months and just
58
How relieved and excited are you to have that opportunity now having taken this momentum from this tournament hopefully into the fall?
59
I always I'm so excited to play in China and especially
60
I coming from calling US Open and then reach until here that was a really really difficult journey for me
61
Of course playing at home always I'm more motivated
62
and also in the same time carry on some pressure because I really want to do it well there.
63
But I just want to say, you know, keep calm and just training day by day, you know, focus in the match by match,
64
focus on the present, because when your mind's trying to go everywhere thinking too much, that's not helping for tennis.
65
Last question.
66
That was my question.
67
That was your question.
68
Thank you very much.
69
Thank you.

Por que praticar fala com esse vídeo?

O vídeo da conferência de imprensa de Qinwen Zheng é uma oportunidade incrível para aprimorar sua fala em inglês! As conversas informais, mas profissionais, entre entrevistadores e atleta refletem situações reais de comunicação, perfeitas para o shadowing em inglês. Ao imitar a entonação, o ritmo e as expressões usadas, você aprende a se expressar de forma natural, mesmo em momentos emocionais (como após uma derrota). É um jeito rápido de ganhar confiança e dominar a linguagem cotidiana — e o melhor: você pratica sem sair de casa!

Gramática e expressões no contexto

Vamos analisar 3 estruturas chave do diálogo:

  • "I could take positive things from U.S. Open this year": O uso de "could" aqui não é apenas sobre capacidade, mas sobre possibilidade e reflexão. É uma forma suave de falar sobre lições aprendidas, muito usada em conversas pessoais.
  • "there are some decisions in the important moment i wasn't doing right": A estrutura "doing right" (fazer corretamente) é uma alternativa coloquial a "doing correctly". Perceba como a atleta usa frases curtas, mas impactantes, para se expressar.
  • "as soon as the match is not over you just have to keep fighting": "As soon as" (enquanto) + "have to" (ter que) cria uma conexão lógica clara. Essa combinação é essencial para falar sobre condições e compromissos.

Armadilhas de pronúncia comuns

Algumas palavras no vídeo podem ser desafiadoras. Veja como evitá-las:

  • "qualifiers": A pronúncia correta é /ˈkwɒlɪfaɪəz/ (não "kwali-fai-ers"). Preste atenção ao "li" suave e ao "ers" no final.
  • "aggressive": Muitos aprendizes trocam o "g" por "j", mas a correta é /əˈɡresɪv/ (com "g" duro, como em "gato").
  • "rhythm": A sílaba tônica está no primeiro "rhyth" (/ˈrɪðəm/), não no final. Pratique repetindo a palavra com o dedo no peito para marcar o ritmo.

Para dominar essas nuances, use o shadowing site ou apps que permitem repetir trechos — como o shadowspeaks — e compare sua pronúncia com a do vídeo. Lembre: o shadow speak é sobre imitar, corrigir e evoluir a cada tentativa. Você já viu o quanto pode aprender com uma simples conversa? Agora é hora de praticar!

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.
