1
Seeking fame and fortune.
2
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.
27
And of course, the more views a video gets, the more money can be made from it.
28
A few years ago, Howard Davies Carr uploaded a short film of his two sons sitting side by side in a chair.
29
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.
35
They befriended an elderly widow, Golda Betchel, who then repaid their kindness by leaving the couple £10 million in her will when she died.
36
Become a hero.
37
Kuldeep Singh, one good way of getting yourself in the papers is to save someone's life or catch a wanted criminal.
38
Kuldeep Singh, for instance, became a national hero in India
39
when he removed a bomb from a bus he was driving in Delhi.
40
Mr Singh, who was injured when the bomb later exploded, was widely praised for his courage.
41
Six, don't give up.
42
The Zimmers.
43
Age is no barrier to becoming famous either, as plenty of old-age pensioners have proved.
44
The Zimmers are among recent examples.
45
A group of around 40 British pensioners, put together by a documentary filmmaker who was interested in the experiences of the elderly.
46
The band's first singer was 90 when he joined, and the oldest member was 101.

They had a hit with a cover version of the Who's My Generation
48
and went on to appear on TV and travel to America.

Советы по практике

Чтобы эффективно использовать метод shadow speech и shadowspeak, уделите внимание темпам и интонации, которые присущи этому видео. Начните с того, чтобы прослушать фразу несколько раз, обращая внимание на мелодию и ударения. Затем попробуйте повторить за диктором, не отставая и подстраивая свое произношение под его тональность. Это поможет вам значительно улучшить произношение английского языка.

Напоминаем, что при использовании shadowing важно не только читать, но и полностью вовлекаться в процесс, повторяя интонации и чувства. Это позволит вам не только лучше запомнить фразы, но и развить навыки общения на английском языке. Практикуйте регулярно, чтобы ваш shadow speech стал более естественным!

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
