Chapter 4 The Music How can I play music without leader?
2
Music was my life.
3
Now it is my death.
4
The sound of one note on the piano goes through me like a knife.
5
Oh, why did I swim to land?
6
Why didn't the sea take me down, down, down, to sleep the long sleep?
7
The next morning, Avril took her patient into the sitting room.
8
He sat at the piano, but he did not touch the keys.
9
His face was closed.
10
His eyes saw nothing.
11
You're a long way away, Mr. Piano Man, Avril said to him smiling.
12
Where are you now?
13
Are you thinking about your home, about your family?
14
No answer.
15
Avril took some photographs out of her bag.
16
Would you like to see some photos of my family, Mr. Piano Man?
17
She said.
18
Look, here's my husband, Jerry.
19
I told you about him yesterday.
20
And this is my son, Ryan.
21
He's 16 now.
22
He's a big boy, taller than me.
23
He loves playing football.
24
And this is my daughter, Mary.
25
She's 14.
26
She loves music.
27
She listens to it all the time.
28
One by one, she gave the photos to the piano man.
29
He looked at them, and then gave them back to her.
30
Oh, here is one to show you.
31
This is Mary when she was little.
32
About eight, I think.
33
She's having a piano lesson.
34
But she stopped lessons after two years. So sad.
35
I love listening to piano music.
36
The piano man held the photo of Mary and looked at it for a long minute.
37
His face did not change, but suddenly he put the photo down,
38
turned round to the piano, and began to play.
39
It was a happy piece of music, light and easy.
40
Avril laughed.
41
Oh, how wonderful.
42
I know that.
43
My Mary played that piece.
44
Well, she didn't really play it, but she tried to learn it.
45
You play it so well.
46
The piano man stopped playing.
47
Avril watched him.
48
Can you play some more music for us? she asked.
49
She looked round the sitting room.
50
There was another patient, sitting at the back of the room.
51
This was Doris, a very old lady.
52
Sometimes Doris remembered things, sometimes she didn't.
53
I think Doris is enjoying your music, Avril said.
54
The piano man looked round.
55
Doris nodded and smiled at him.
56
The piano man turned back to the piano and began to play.
57
This was a very different piece of music, fast and exciting, full of color and life.
58
The piano man's eyes were closed.
59
His body moved to the music, and his fingers danced over the keys.
60
Avril watched his hands.
61
You're a musician, aren't you?
62
She said.
63
A pianist.
64
All that day, the piano man was in and out of the sitting room.
65
Sometimes he just sat at the piano.
66
Sometimes he played fast, exciting music, slow, sad music.
67
Then he went back to his room and lay on his bed, with his hands over his head.
68
Then back to the piano again.
69
dr. Sansom came to listen to him you're right Avril he
70
said he's a wonderful musician the music is talking through him there's a change coming leave him alone and wait
71
late in the afternoon the piano man went to the piano again and began to play a new piece of music
72
It was slow, very beautiful music, like a song.
73
Avril sat with him for a time, then stood up.
74
Don't stop, she whispered.
75
I must see another patient for a few minutes, back soon.
76
She went quietly out of the room.
77
Doris was still in her usual chair at the back of the room, smiling and nodding to the music.
78
Avril was with the other patient for ten minutes, then went back to the sitting room.
79
She heard Doris's voice.
80
Nurse?
81
Nurse?
82
Come quick!
83
What is it, Doris?
84
What's the matter?
85
Look, said Doris.
86
He's crying, poor boy.
87
The piano man sat at the piano, with his face in his hands.
88
Tears ran between his fingers and down the backs of his hands.
89
Poor boy, said Doris.
90
Poor boy.
91
Poor boy.
92
Yes, all right, Doris, Avril said.
93
I'm here now.
94
She put her hand very gently on the piano man's arm.
95
He wants a cup of tea, said Doris loudly.
96
Poor boy.
97
Yes, you're right, Avril said.
98
She went quickly to the nurse's kitchen and came back with a large, hot mug of tea.
99
Gently, she took the piano man's hands away from his face and gave him the mug of tea.
100
There, she said, drink some tea.
101
Tea always helps.
102
The piano man's hands closed around the hot mug.
103
He looked up into Avril's face.
104
Spasiba, he whispered.
105
Before she went home, Avril went to the computer in the nurse's room.
106
Now, what was that word?
107
She thought.
108
Spas something.
109
Spasi.
110
She tried the spelling, spas-see-ba, and Google found the word for her at once.
111
Spas-eba was thank you in Russian.
112
Thank you.
113
Thank you.

Исправляем слабые места

Фрагмент отлично подходит для тренировки shadow speech (или shadowspeak), так как содержит много коротких, эмоционально насыщенных фраз с естественной интонацией. Особое внимание уделите произношению слов с длинными гласными, такими как sleep (сильный ударение на "и") и long (длинное "о"). Также практикуйте ритм речи: в диалоге Аврил использует паузы, чтобы подождать ответа, что важно для естественной коммуникации.

Это эффективный способ улучшить произношение английского и сделать речь более живой.

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.
