Welcome to Spotlight. I’m Colin Lowther.

Spotlight uses a special  English method of broadcasting.
4
It is easier for people to understand,  no matter where in the world they live.
5
Think of an event in your life  that you remember very well.
6
You can think of any memory,  as long as it is clear.
7
Think back. Where were you?
8
Who were you with? What time was it?
9
Can you smell anything? Taste anything?
10
Why do you think you remember this event so well?

12
Memory is strange.
13
Sometimes, a person might remember something  that is extremely important to them.
14
At other times, she may remember a  fact that does not matter at all.
15
It may be difficult to learn something she wants  to remember, like an English vocabulary word!
16
But this does not always have to be the case.
17
There are actually special methods that  you can use to improve your memory.
18
Today’s Spotlight is on how to use  your memory to remember anything.
19
No one’s memory is perfect.
20
What a person remembers can be unreliable.
21
Even the most intelligent people forget things.
22
This does not mean a person has a bad memory.
23
It means he is not using  his mind to his advantage.
24
The brain has two kinds of memory.
25
The first is short term, or working, memory.
26
This kind of memory is  useful for a very short time.
27
Experts say you can store four sets of information  in your short-term memory at the same time.
28
Information in short term memory will  last about 20 to 30 seconds or less.
29
Then it disappears.
30
The second kind of memory is long-term memory.
31
Long-term memory is what people usually think  of when they say they have memorized something.
32
Memories in the long-term memory stay.
33
A person can remember them again and again.
34
These are memories like the  names of people you know, how to do a task, or memories from a  special event from a long time ago.
35
The trick of remembering is moving information  from short-term to long-term memory.
36
No one knows exactly how this happens.
37
But scientists do have theories.
38
Richard Mohs is a writer at howstuffworks.com.
39
He writes that going from one kind of  memory to the other is all about attention.
40
You must focus on particular things.
41
“To properly create a memory, you  must first be paying attention.
42
You cannot pay attention  to everything all the time.
43
So, most of what you see  every day is filtered out.
44
Only some information passes  into your conscious awareness.
45
How you pay attention to information may be  the most important part of how much of it you actually remember.” People also remember things that are  similar to what they already know.
46
This is because of the structure of the brain.
47
Most of the brain is made of cells called neurons.
48
When we learn something, different  neurons connect to each other.
49
When these neurons stay  connected, it forms a memory.
50
The more connections a memory  has, the stronger it will be.
51
For example, think of a person you know.
52
When you think of that person, the same neurons  become active in your brain – every time!
53
Memories can also link to other  memories, making them stronger still.
54
This is why memories with  multiple senses last longer.
55
For example, a memory where you experienced  something by hearing, tasting, and smelling, may be very strong because you  used more senses in the experience.
56
These memories connect  different parts of the brain.
57
Think of the person you just remembered.
58
Do you remember what their laugh sounds like?
59
Do you remember the sound of their voice?
60
Finally, we make memories when  we have repeated experiences.
61
Each time we do the same thing,  our brains make new connections.
62
Scientists say our neurons activate, or fire.
63
Richard Mohs uses practicing music as an example.
64
“If you play a piece of music over and over, certain cells in your brain fire  repeatedly in a certain order.
65
This makes it easier to  repeat this firing later on.
66
The result: You get better at playing music.
67
You can play it faster, with fewer mistakes.
68
Practice it long enough, and  you will play it perfectly.” Practicing, or repeating information, is one  of the most popular methods of remembering.
69
If a person has vocabulary cards,  they are using this method.
70
But this is not always the best way to memorize.
71
There are many methods which use the  other ways we remember - or combine them.
72
Another memorization method  is called a mnemonic device.
73
One well known mnemonic  device is called an acronym.
74
Acronyms are helpful in memorizing words.
75
To create an acronym, find a list  of words you would like to memorize.
76
It is usually helpful if there  is something similar about them.
77
Then, take the first letter from each word.
78
Organize those letters into a word or phrase.
79
You have now made an acronym.
80
Each letter in the final word  stands in for another word.
81
So, to memorize many words,  you only have to remember one.
82
One famous acronym for learning  English conjunctions is FANBOYS.
83
The F stands in for the word “for”.
84
A stands for “and”.
85
The rest stand for nor, but, or, yet, and so.
86
Acronyms work because they  make the information simple.
87
Another memorization method is visualization.
88
In visualization, you think of an image or picture that represents the thing  you are trying to remember.
89
For example, imagine a person is  trying to remember the name Melanie.
90
He might think of a picture.
91
In the picture, a woman is holding a melon fruit.
92
She is crushing the melon with her knee.
93
The sound of the two images will  remind him of the name Melanie.
94
The image is also very strange.
95
It is easier for the mind  to remember unusual things.
96
Visualization works because it makes the  foreign information into something familiar.
97
One of the most interesting mnemonic  devices is called the method of loci.
98
It is also called a memory palace.
99
To create a memory palace, a person must think  of a familiar area, like a house, or a street.
100
Then, she must imagine a  journey through that space.
101
In the journey, she stops at  different, familiar areas.
102
In each of these areas, she places an item.
103
The item must have something to do with  the thing she is trying to remember.
104
Melanie Pinola is a writer and mental athlete.
105
She competes with others to remember  long lists of numbers or words.
106
She wrote about the memory palace  technique for Lifehacker.com.
107
“For everyday use, the memory palace is  helpful for remembering a list of things.
108
Start a journey beginning at a place  you know very well, like your home.
109
Begin at your door.
110
If you want to remember a grocery  list, imagine the items you need.
111
Imagine a container of milk  overflowing on your doorstep.
112
When you get inside, perhaps two giant  steaks attack you in your doorway.
113
Continue to your living room to  find pretzels dancing on the rug.
114
Again, the more movement, strange experiences,  and senses you put into your memory palace, the better for your memorization.” This may seem like a lot of work, creating more  information than the person needs to memorize.
115
But the method of loci is actually  a way of “hacking” the brain.
116
To remember something, the brain  needs a network of information.
117
Without this network, the  memory will fade quickly.
118
The method of loci creates a new network.
119
It uses multiple senses.
120
And then, it attaches the  network to something familiar.
121
This way, what you are trying to  remember enters the long-term memory.
122
There are many more mnemonic devices.
123
But most memory methods involve one  of these three steps: Make it simple.
124
Visualize it - that is, imagine  you can see it in your mind.
125
Connect the information to  something you already know.
126
If you can master these simple tips, you will  be able to remember huge amounts of information.
127
What will you memorize now?
128
Do you have any special ways you remember things?
129
What are they? Will you try a new method?

Об этой уроке

В этом уроке мы будем обсуждать методы запоминания, которые помогут вам учить английский с YouTube. Вы узнаете, как использовать свою память для улучшения произношения и запоминания новых слов. Применяя техники, которые мы обсудим, вы сможете эффективно перемещать информацию из кратковременной памяти в долговременную, что поможет вам лучше усваивать английский язык.

Ключевая лексика и фразы

  • Кратковременная память — память, которая сохраняет информацию на короткий срок, обычно до 30 секунд.
  • Долговременная память — память, в которой информация сохраняется на длительный срок и которую можно вспоминать много раз.
  • Обращать внимание — важный процесс, необходимый для создания прочной памяти.
  • Нейроны — клетки мозга, которые соединяются при обучении и формируют память.
  • Похожие вещи — информация, которую мы легче запоминаем, если она связана с уже известным.
  • Shadowing английский — техника, при которой вы повторяете услышанные фразы, что помогает улучшить произношение.
  • Улучшить произношение английского — цель, которую можно достичь, используя различные методы запоминания.

Советы по практике

Чтобы получить максимальную пользу от этого видео и улучшить свои навыки shadowing английский, следуйте этим рекомендациям:

  • Слушайте внимательно: Обратите особое внимание на интонацию и скорость речи. Это поможет вам правильно воспроизводить звуки.
  • Работайте с паузами: Останавливайтесь после каждой фразы, чтобы повторить ее, прежде чем двигаться дальше. Это поможет вам лучше усвоить материал.
  • Используйте текст: Если есть возможность, просматривайте текстовые субтитры, чтобы видеть, как слова написаны и как они произносятся.
  • Записывайте себя: Запишите ваше произношение и сравните его с оригиналом, чтобы услышать разницу и обратить внимание на области для улучшения.
  • Повторяйте регулярно: Постоянная практика и повторение помогут переместить информацию из кратковременной в долговременную память.

Применяя эти методы, вы сможете значительно улучшить свои навыки английского языка, а также развить уверенность в общении. Начните практиковать уже сегодня и наблюдайте за своим прогрессом!

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.
