Hey, Econ students!

This is Jacob Clifford.

Welcome to the Microeconomics Unit 1 Summary Video.

In these summary videos, I quickly explain all the concepts you need for your next quiz, unit exam, or your final exam.

Basically, everything you need to get an A in your class.

But I'm gonna be going quick.

I am gonna be using the AP curriculum, but that's pretty much the same as any introductory Microeconomics course.

So if you're a first-year college student or you're preparing for the A-level or CLEP exam, it's all the same stuff.

This video covers Unit 1 Basic Economic Concepts.

Now before we get started, let's do a quick activity.

I want you to make a fist with your right hand.

I want you to put your thumb out and put your pinky out.

So just like this.

Here we go.

This is round one.

Okay, you got it?

All right, here comes round two.

Same thing on both hands.

Thumbs out, pinky's out.

Try this.

See how you do.

Here comes round three.

I want thumb out, pinky out.

Thumbs out, pinky out. Do this.

Now there's two reasons why we did that activity.

The first is this is a great analogy for what you're going to see in an economics class.

Some concepts are super easy, like the definition of scarcity.

Duh, I get it.

It's easy.

And eventually things get a little harder, like drawing the production possibly's curve or supply and demand, but they're still pretty easy.

But then things are going to get a lot harder, like figuring out comparative advantage or terms of trade.

That stuff is harder and you're going to feel confused.

There's concepts in this class that I'm going to do fast, but you got to slow down and you got to practice and it's okay to make mistakes.

You just got to keep doing it until you're like, yeah, okay, I got it.

Trust me.

It's not enough just to watch me draw the graphs and do the calculations.

You're going to have to practice.

You're going to have to do it yourself.

Now, the second reason we're doing this activity is I wanted to find out if you're willing to participate.

If I had you do this and you didn't do anything round two, you didn't do anything round three, you're just sitting there with your hands not moving, you're probably setting yourself up for failure.

If you're not participating, then you're definitely not going to get the most out of these videos.

Because every once in a while, I'm going to say, stop this video, I want you to draw this graph, or do those calculations.

And I promise you, I'm not wasting your time.

I know the questions your teacher professor is going to ask you.

So when I ask you to stop and practice, go ahead and try those things because that's what you're going to see on your next exam.

And that's also why I create a study guide that goes along with this video.

The Unit 1 study guide is inside my Ultimate Review Packet

and it's free just sign up for the free preview the link is in the description below

and i just uploaded a new study guide

so make sure you have the most updated version

so here we go pause this video go download

and print the unit one study guide have it ready to go

and start the video back up again okay here we go

you've got your study guide your video you got your energy

and excitement let's jump into it let's learn some economics Let's start with a quick overview.

There's five big picture concepts that you need to know in microeconomics unit one.

Number one, economics focuses on scarcity and how it requires individuals, businesses, and governments to make choices.

Number two, society's economic system determines what will be produced, how it will be produced, and how it will be allocated.

Number three, the production possibilities curve shows the different combinations of two goods

that can be produced using all a country's resources to the fullest.

Number four, countries that have a comparative advantage can specialize in the production of specific goods

and trade with other countries at a lower opportunity cost than if they produce everything on their own.

And number five, marginal analysis involves weighing the additional benefits and the additional costs of any decision.

Now that was the big picture.

Now let's jump into specific topics.

Every economics class starts by looking at scarcity, the idea that we have unlimited wants but limited resources, which means we're forced to make choices.

For example, you have to decide who you want to take out on a date on Friday night.

Because you definitely can't take two people out.

And businesses have to decide how many units to produce or how many workers to hire.

And governments need to decide how many public services to provide

or what policies are best to fight inflation or to promote growth.

So when you boil it down, economics is a study of choices and decision-making.

So that's why you're taking this class.

Learning economics is going to make you a better decision-maker.

Just look at the highest paid college majors.

Most of the ones at the top are in STEM.

but take a look right here, economics.

Oh yeah.

When I talk about limited resources, a lot of students assume I'm talking about money, but money is not a resource.

Yes, we use money to make transactions, but it's not a resource because you can't produce anything with it.

Instead, your teacher professor is going to talk about the four factors of production, the four things we need to produce stuff, land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship.

Land is anything from Mother Nature like water, minerals, crude oil, or sunlight.

Labor is obviously the work that humans do everything you did during your summer job.

For capital, there's two types.

There's physical capital and human capital.

Physical capital are things like tools, machines, and factories used to produce stuff.

Human capital is the knowledge, experience, and training that makes workers more productive.

By the way, that's another reason why you're taking economics.

You're trying to increase your human capital, making yourself more productive and more valuable to employers.

And the last factor is entrepreneurship.

The person that brings together all the other resources, starts the business, and takes the risk.

Another thing your teacher professor might talk about early on is is the difference between microeconomics and macroeconomics.

Macro looks at things like growth, unemployment, inflation, and different policies to speed up or slow down the economy.

We are strongly committed to returning inflation to our 2% goal.

Microeconomics is a study of small economic units and looks at the decisions of individuals and firms.

Things like the cost of production, the different kinds of markets, and the effect of government regulations like minimum wage.

Fast food workers across our state getting a big raise starting today, their minimum wage going up to $20 an hour.

That's what you're gonna learn in this class.

100

This is microeconomics.

101

Okay, that's it for topic 1.1.

102

I know it was super easy.

103

Go ahead and take out your study guide, fill out that section for 1.1.

104

In topic 1.2, you'll learn about the three economic systems, the three ways to organize and distribute society's scarce resources.

105

There are command economies, free market economies, and mixed economies.

106

A command economy, or centrally planned economy, is where the government owns the factors of production and decides what to produce, how to produce it, and who gets it.

107

Since government bureaucrats make the decisions, the disadvantage is that individuals often have fewer freedoms and are told where to work and where to live.

108

But the advantage of central planning is that it often reduces unemployment, limits income inequality, and prioritizes social welfare instead of profit.

109

Now, in a free market, profit is everything.

110

Privately-owned businesses produce goods and services and compete with each other to earn your money, to earn profit.

111

Your textbook calls this the profit motive.

112

A famous quote by Adam Smith, the father of economics, explains it best.

113

It's not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but it's from their regard to their own self-interest.

114

This is the miracle of markets, what's often called the invisible hand.

115

As individuals pursue their own self-interest, they inadvertently help society as a whole.

116

Think of it this way, a business can't earn profit and make themselves better off without making the customer better off.

117

That and competition between businesses results in higher quality products at a lower price.

118

But there are disadvantages.

119

For example, the free market doesn't provide public goods and services.

120

There's no profit in providing a public park or free public education, so the free market won't produce those goods and services.

121

Also, a free market might have more income inequality with a larger gap between the rich and the poor.

122

And that's why most countries have adopted a mixed economy where individuals own the factors of production, but the government plays a part in regulating monopolies,

123

providing public goods and services, and redistributing income.

124

They want the innovation and growth that comes with free market capitalism and the social welfare that comes with some central planning.

125

Now that's all I'm going to say about the economic systems.

126

If you want to learn more, take a look at the video I made with the Crash Course folks, or take a look at the video where I went to China and that lady was checking me out.

127

Did you notice that lady checked me out?

128

That means that it has a special government system that allows...

129

So that's it for this topic.

130

Again, it's super easy, so fill out section 1.2 on your study guide.

131

In topic 1.3, you're introduced to a concept you're going to use for the rest of your life.

132

The idea of opportunity cost.

133

Because of scarcity, we're forced to make choices, and every choice has a cost.

134

An opportunity cost.

135

It's the cost of the next best alternative.

136

The thing that you would have done if you didn't make that choice.

137

For example, the cost of going to the movies tonight is not just the price of the ticket, it's also the time you could have spent studying for your economics class

138

or the money you could have earned by spending that time babysitting instead.

139

So individuals, businesses, and the government all make decisions by factoring in their opportunity cost, the thing they're giving up.

140

And this is when you see the very first graph you see in an econ class, the production possibilities curve.

141

Your teacher might call it the production possibilities frontier, but it's the same thing.

142

It's a model that shows the alternative ways we can use our scarce resources to produce only two goods.

143

It usually starts off with a chart like this showing the different combinations of two goods that can be produced

144

using all of our resources.

145

When you plot these combinations, you get the production possibilities curve, the PPC.

146

Now, there are three things that your teacher or professor is gonna have you do with this graph.

147

First, they're gonna ask questions, have you explain how this graph demonstrates different economic concepts like efficiency.

148

Any point inside the curve is inefficient because we're not using our resources to the fullest.

149

Any point on the curve is efficient.

150

Any point outside the curve is impossible or unattainable because we don't have enough resources.

151

Second, your teacher will ask you to use the PPC to calculate the opportunity cost of moving to different combinations.

152

For example, the opportunity cost of moving from combination B to combination C is three bikes.

153

And the opportunity cost of moving from combination E to combination D is two computers.

154

The third thing your teacher will have you do is show how changes move or shift the PPC.

155

For example, let's practice.

156

Here's a PPC showing the different combinations of pizza and computers that can be produced in your hometown.

157

Show what happens on this graph if people decide to eat healthier and want less pizza.

158

Be sure to pause this video and see if you can figure it out.

159

Now you might be thinking people want less pizza, so the curve's gonna shift inward for pizza.

160

But that's not what's gonna happen.

161

What is gonna happen is this.

162

People want less pizza, so we're gonna decrease the amount of resources allocated towards pizza and move them towards producing computers.

163

Think about it.

164

We don't have fewer pizza ovens or less cooks.

165

The amount of pizza we can produce hasn't changed.

166

We're just changing the combination.

167

There's one last thing that you have to know about the PPC, and it has to do with the shape.

168

You're likely to see two different types of PPCs, ones that have a boat-out curve and ones that have a straight line.

169

A boat-out PPC shows the idea of increasing opportunity cost.

170

As more of one product is produced, the opportunity cost gets bigger.

171

In other words, when you produce one good, you have to give up more and more of the other good

172

because the resources to produce both goods are not very similar.

173

For an example, let's use corn and cars.

174

If we're right here and only producing corn, then all of our workers are making corn, including engineers that are better suited towards making cars.

175

When we produce our first few cars, the amount of corn given up is not very high

176

because we're just moving engineers out of the farms and into the factories.

177

But as you keep doing this, producing more and more cars, eventually you need to start moving the farmers out of the farms and into the factories, and you're going to lose a lot of corn.

178

This is the law of increasing opportunity cost.

179

Again, it happens when the two products have totally different resources and results in a bowed-out PPC.

180

A straight-line PPC means the opportunity cost is constant.

181

This happens when the resources that produced the two different goods are very similar.

182

For example, plastic forks and plastic spoons.

183

Producing more forks doesn't result in the loss of more and more spoons because it requires the same types of resources.

184

Now remember, this is a summary video and I'm going pretty quick on purpose.

185

So if you need more help with the PPC, take a look at my videos on YouTube.

186

But if you can answer the questions on your study guide, then you totally understand it and you're ready to move forward.

187

So pause this video and fill out that section.

188

Let's see how you do.

189

Okay, by far the hardest topic in this entire unit is right here.

190

We're talking about comparative advantage.

191

It's not that hard, Scott.

192

Tell him, watch.

193

It's incredibly hard.

194

The general idea is really simple.

195

Countries have different climates and different resources, so they can specialize in one thing and trade with other countries that specialize in producing something else.

196

So the concept is easy, but the questions you're going to see on your exam, those are hard.

197

Your teacher professor is going to give you a question like this with two countries, two products, and numbers.

198

In this case, the number of cars or planes the U.S and Canada can make in one day.

199

The country's products and numbers might change, but you'll always be asked four different types of questions.

200

Number one, identify which country has an absolute advantage for each good.

201

Number two, calculate the opportunity cost for each country.

202

Number three, identify which country has a comparative advantage in which good.

203

And number four, identify a terms of trade that is mutually beneficial for both countries.

204

That's it.

205

If you can do these four things, then you are ready for any question your teacher professor is going to give you.

206

I have a bunch of videos on YouTube that explain these concepts and let you practice, but right now, let's practice these four skills.

207

So pause the video, here's four questions.

208

Good luck.

209

Okay, how'd you do?

210

Did you do well?

211

I hope so.

212

Let's go over the answers.

213

A country has an absolute advantage if they're better at producing a product than another country.

214

So all you have to do is look at the raw number.

215

The U.S can produce five planes and Canada can only produce two planes.

216

So the United States has an absolute advantage in the production of planes.

217

And the U.S also has an absolute advantage in the production of cars because they can produce more than Canada.

218

So the answer to question one is no, Canada does not have an absolute advantage in cars because they produce less than the United States.

219

Again, it's super easy.

220

Next, it's time to calculate opportunity costs, which is a little harder.

221

For calculating opportunity costs, we know that when the U.S produces five planes, they can't produce 10 cars.

222

But what's the cost of producing only one plane?

223

To figure that out, you need the equation for per unit opportunity cost.

224

It's the number of units given up divided by the number of units gained.

225

So for question two, if five planes cost the U.S ten cars, then the opportunity cost of one plane is two cars.

226

And you can flip that to get the opportunity cost for one car.

227

If ten cars cost the U.S five planes, then the opportunity cost for one car is a half a plane.

228

Again, what you're calculating is called per unit opportunity cost.

229

Now let's go do the same thing for Canada.

230

For Canada, each car costs one-fourth a plane, and each plane costs four cars.

231

By the way, notice they're always a reciprocal.

232

If one's four, the other one's going to be one-fourth.

233

If one's ten, the other one's going to be one-tenth.

234

Okay, now we have enough information to answer question three and find the comparative advantage.

235

Just ask yourself who should produce planes?

236

The country that gives up two cars or the country that gives up four cars?

237

Obviously, it's better to give up less.

238

So the United States has a comparative advantage in the production of planes because they have a lower opportunity cost.

239

And Canada has a comparative advantage in cars.

240

One car costs Canada only one-fourth a plane, but it costs the United States one-half a plane.

241

So with these numbers, Canada should specialize in producing the cars, and the United States should specialize in producing planes.

242

But we're not done.

243

The last step is by far the hardest.

244

It's finding the terms of trade.

245

We know that each country should specialize and produce only one thing, but how many cars should Canada trade for how many planes?

246

The quick answer is that both countries will be willing to trade

247

if and only if they can get the other product at a lower opportunity cost than if they produced it themselves.

248

For example, we know that Canada should specialize in cars, and if they did make planes, it will cost them four cars for each plane.

249

But if they could trade three cars for one plane, they'd be better off.

250

They could specialize in producing cars and trade with the United States

251

and get planes at a lower opportunity cost than if they made planes themselves.

252

And it's the same idea for the United States.

253

We know they should specialize in planes, and if they made one car, it'll cost them one half a plane given up.

254

So if the United States can get one car for anything less than one half a plane, then they're better off.

255

With trade, they can be getting cars at a lower opportunity cost than if they produced them themselves.

256

So to answer question four, trading one plane for three cars would be mutually beneficial.

257

It would benefit both countries.

258

Because Canada can get a plane by only giving up three cars instead of four, and the United States can get a car by giving up

259

only a third of a plane instead of giving up one half.

260

That was a lot.

261

I'm telling you, this is by far the hardest topic.

262

So here's a video of a puppy running to help you unwind.

263

Now, hopefully you understood all of that, but we're not done.

264

There's actually two different types of compared advantage questions.

265

The one you saw was an output question.

266

Now we also have to talk about input questions.

267

It's very likely that you'll see both types on your next quiz or exam.

268

Now watch carefully.

269

I'm going to convert this output question that I just gave you into an input question.

270

So here we go right now.

271

Notice the country's products and the numbers are the same.

272

The only difference is what those numbers mean.

273

Now they represent hours.

274

Look at the top of the chart.

275

It says this chart shows the number of hours it takes each country to produce one car or one plane.

276

So in an output question, and those numbers represent the number of cars and planes produced, now we're looking at the hours to produce only one.

277

So now who has an absolute advantage in the production of cars?

278

Well, now it's Canada because it only takes them eight hours to produce one car, and it takes the US 10 hours to produce one car.

279

Now this also changes how you calculate per unit opportunity cost.

280

If the US takes 10 hours to produce a car and five hours to produce a plane, then the opportunity cost of one car is two planes.

281

So when it comes to input questions, The opportunity cost is actually the reciprocal, or it's flipped, compared to output questions.

282

Now, after that, you just do exactly what you did before.

283

Who should specialize in cars?

284

Well, the United States, because they only give up two planes, and Canada gives up four planes.

285

The U.S has a lower opportunity cost.

286

And Canada should specialize in planes, because each plane costs them one-fourth a car.

287

For the United States, it's one-half a car.

288

And trading one car for three planes is a mutually beneficial terms of trade.

289

Now, I know I went over that last part fast, but that's on purpose.

290

Remember, this is a summary video.

291

I have more videos on YouTube.

292

If you're still lost a little bit, go back and watch my practice videos or my hacks video.

293

They'll give you tons of tips and strategies to make sure that you're getting it.

294

You're going to find out right now if you know how to do this.

295

Take out your study guide.

296

I have two sets of questions for you.

297

The ones on the left are output questions.

298

The one on the right, those are input questions.

299

So right now, pause this video.

300

Good luck.

301

In topic 1.5, we dive deeper into the skill of thinking like an economist.

302

So here's a question for you.

303

How much does it cost to watch a YouTube video?

304

Before you enrolled in this class, you probably say there is no cost, it's free.

305

But now, you know better.

306

The cost of watching a YouTube video is the time you could have spent playing video games, or cleaning your bedroom, or looking for a part-time job.

307

Or it's just a different video that you could have been watching instead.

308

Those are all trade-offs, the things that you could have done.

309

Your opportunity cost is the one thing you would have done instead.

310

Again, it's the next best alternative.

311

So watching a YouTube video isn't free.

312

There's still a cost, your opportunity cost.

313

Economists differentiate between two types of costs, explicit costs and implicit costs.

314

Explicit costs are those traditional out-of-pocket costs associated with making a decision.

315

It's the cost of the movie ticket when you go to the movies.

316

Implicit costs are those behind-the-scenes opportunity costs when you make a decision.

317

It's the value of your foregone time or your foregone wage when you go to the movies.

318

These costs are totally subjective and hard to quantify, but they're just as important when it comes to decision making.

319

Now, I talk more about cost benefit analysis in a video on YouTube.

320

If you haven't seen it, take a look because I bet it covers your opportunity cost.

321

I know this is super easy.

322

We're just introducing the concept here in unit one.

323

We're going to come back to it in unit three when we calculate revenue and profit.

324

For now, just understanding the basics is enough, so fill out topic 1.5 on your study guide.

325

If there's only one skill that you need to master in microeconomics,

326

it's the idea of marginal analysis.

327

It's making decisions by looking at the additional benefit

328

and the additional cost

329

so just remember marginal means additional let me explain with a

330

super simple example let's say you're deciding on how many times

331

you want to see the same movie the marginal benefit of

332

seeing the movie the first time is thirty dollars the marginal benefit of the second time is fifteen dollars

333

and the marginal benefit of the third time is five dollars

334

so the total benefit is fifty dollars assume the cost of

335

going to the movies is twelve dollars the total cost of

336

going three times is thirty six dollars the question is how many times should you watch the movie and why.

337

Notice the total benefit is greater than the total cost but you wouldn't go see the movie three times.

338

You would definitely go the first time because the additional benefit is $30 and the additional cost is $12.

339

You'd also go the second time because the additional benefit is $15 and the additional cost is $12.

340

But you wouldn't go the third time because the additional benefit is only five and the additional cost is 12.

341

This is the idea of marginal analysis.

342

When you make decisions, you don't look at the total benefit and the total cost.

343

You look at the additional benefit and the additional cost.

344

Now, I know you might be thinking, man, this is super unrealistic.

345

No one does these calculations before they go to the movies.

346

True, no one really writes this out, but economists argue that you do these calculations in the back of your brain all the time.

347

Even right now, in the back of your brain, you've been calculating the additional benefit from an additional minute of studying economics and weighing that against the additional cost.

348

Now there's something else I wanna point out about our movie example.

349

Notice the additional benefit of going to the same movie over and over again is going down.

350

This is because of the law of diminishing marginal utility.

351

The law states that as you consume anything, the additional satisfaction or joy you get from it will eventually decrease.

352

Your marginal utility or satisfaction can go up like those first few French fries you eat,

353

but eventually the additional satisfaction you get from each additional fry is going to fall you're gonna get less

354

and less marginal utility.

355

In the movie example, we measured your benefit in dollars, but usually we use something else, it's called utils.

356

Think of utils as like happiness points, a way to quantify utility.

357

This is worth the least 50 utils.

358

One of the things you're probably gonna have to do in your next quiz

359

or unit exam is called utility maximizing and consumer choice.

360

It involves making decisions by calculating margin utility per dollar.

361

For example, suppose you're deciding to go on vacation in Tahiti or San Diego.

362

Going to Tahiti gives you 10,000 utils, and going to San Diego gives you 2,000 utils.

363

Now, obviously you prefer Tahiti, but that doesn't mean you choose that option.

364

You also have to look at the cost.

365

If the price of going to Tahiti is $10,000 and the price of going to San Diego is $1,000, then you should actually pick San Diego because you get more utility per dollar.

366

So what does this look like on an exam?

367

Let's do a practice question.

368

The table below shows Ben's total utility from consuming different amounts of French fries and shakes.

369

The price of a bag of French fries is $2, and the price of a shake is $3.

370

Fill out the blanks in the chart and answer these questions.

371

Pause the video.

372

Good luck.

373

How did you do?

374

Did you get it?

375

Let's find out.

376

The margin utility is the change in total utility divided by the change in quantity.

377

Now, since the change in quantity is just one, then it's just the change in the total utility.

378

So for French fries, it's 12 utils, 8 utils, 6, 4, and 2.

379

Notice it's falling because of the law of diminishing margin utility.

380

For shakes, the margin utility is 24 utils, 18, 12, 9, and 6.

381

Again, this is the additional satisfaction that Ben gets from consuming different quantities of each good.

382

So to answer question one, Ben's margin utility for consuming the third shake is 12 utils.

383

For question two, Ben's total utility for consuming two bags of French fries and three shakes is 74 utils.

384

He gets a total of 20 from the fries and 54 from the shakes.

385

For question three, we have to fill out that last column and calculate margin utility per dollar.

386

This puts everything in like terms so we can compare apples to oranges, or in this case, fries to shakes.

387

Fries are $2 each, so the margin utility per dollar is 6 utils, 4, 3, 2, and 1.

388

Shakes are $3 each, so the margin utility per dollar is 8 utils, 6 utils, 4, 3, and 2.

389

The final step is to use marginal analysis and find out how many of each good Ben should buy.

390

The first shake gives the most margin utility per dollar, so he's definitely going to buy that first.

391

Next, he's going to buy the first bag of french fries and the second shake.

392

Next, he's going to buy the second bag of french fries and the third shake.

393

And since he still has money, he's going to buy the third bag of french fries and the fourth shake.

394

Now he spent the whole $18.

395

$6 on the french fries and $12 on shakes.

396

The point of all this is that that combination of three fries and four shakes maximizes Ben's utility.

397

With $18, there's no better combination that gives you more satisfaction.

398

You used marginal analysis to make the best choice.

399

To be more specific, what you used is the utility maximizing rule.

400

It looks like an equation, but really it's a procedure.

401

To maximize utility, calculate the margin utility of option A and divide that by the price.

402

That gives you the margin utility per dollar.

403

And do the same thing for option B.

404

Calculate the margin utility and divide that by the price.

405

If option A gives you more margin utility per dollar than you do it, but eventually that number is going to start to fall as you do it over and over again

406

until the margin utility per dollar for option B is greater.

407

If that happens, start doing option B instead.

408

And for these questions, keep doing that over and over again until you run out of money.

409

Now remember, this is only the first time we're going to use marginal analysis to make decisions.

410

We're going to do variations of the same thing over and over again in future units.

411

Whether it's a firm deciding how many units to produce or an employer deciding how many workers to hire, we're going to be using a lot of marginal analysis.

412

Just remember, it's all about looking at the additional benefit and the additional cost.

413

Okay, that's it for consumer choice and maximizing utility.

414

Take out your study guide and fill out topic 1.6.

415

Okay, now you're done with your study guide.

416

So what are the next steps?

417

The next thing you should do is the unit practice multiple choice questions I have in the ultimate review packet.

418

And when you're ready, take a look at the unit one free responses inside the ultimate review packet.

419

Try those questions on your own, then look at the answer key.

420

And if you need more help, watch the video where I go over all the answers.

421

Okay, that's it for microeconomics unit one.

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.
