3
Seven in the morning.
4
I opened my eyes and knew it was time for the battle to begin.
5
I bounced out of bed and started sprinting to the...
6
bathroom?
7
I pick up my.. toothbrush.
8
Left, right, front, back.
9
I go through all of my teeth, polishing intensively.
10
But when I open my mouth to admire my work,
11
expecting sparkling, brilliant white teeth,
12
Instead, my teeth are yellow.
13
You see, it's a lot more fun to focus on what we're good at.
14
It makes sense.
15
If you're good at something, it's easier to do.
16
The problem is only focusing on your strengths,
17
be it with school, sports,
18
cooking, or even something as simple as brushing your teeth can end up extending your weaknesses.
19
About two and a half months ago,
20
I started to notice that my teeth weren't looking so good.
21
They weren't brilliant white, no,
22
they were a bit yellow.
23
I was busy with a lot of games,
24
homework, chores, games, and whatever else distracts your average 11-year-old.
25
I was just spending the time taking care of my teeth,
26
and it was showing.
27
After seeing this yellowfication of my teeth,
28
I had decided I was going to do something about it.
29
How do you solve yellowfication of teeth?
30
You brush them, right?
31
And so I I did every morning,
32
every evening, right after my alarm clock went off and right before I'd go to bed.
33
The left side, right side,
34
the front, then the back.
35
Then I'd admire my work to see if I was making progress.
36
And you know what?
37
It was working.
38
My teeth were brightening up.
39
Yes, I finally solved my problem.
40
Except after a week or two,
41
something weird started to happen.
42
I got up one morning,
43
went to the bathroom as per usual, left, right, front, back.
44
But when I opened my mouth to admire my work this time,
45
my teeth were yellow again.
46
No, this can't be happening.
47
I've been brushing so intensively.
48
Left, right, front, back, left,
49
right, front, back every day.
50
But now my teeth are yellow.
51
Disappointed, I left the sink.
52
Afraid I was doomed to live a life full of unevenly yellow teeth.
53
That evening when I brushed again,
54
I couldn't help but watch my routine.
55
I couldn't help but notice myself brushing.
56
Left, right, front, back, and wondered if it was worth it.
57
That's when I noticed something.
58
My canines, the teeth over here,
59
the vampire teeth, they weren't on the left, right, front, or back.
60
They were in a weird spot,
61
in between the front and the sides, at a weird angle.
62
They weren't as easy to hit,
63
and that meant I often didn't pay attention to them.
64
In fact, sometimes I would completely forget about them.
65
They weren't all that yellow,
66
no, they were just yellow-er than my other teeth.
67
By only focusing on the easy-to-reach teeth,
68
my not-so-easy-to-reach teeth ended up looking much worse.
69
In other words, by only focusing on my strengths,
70
my weaknesses, ended up looking much worse.
71
That night, I was laying in my bed, imagining a marathon.
72
My left-right front back teeth were nearly at the finish line,
73
but my poor canines weren't even halfway through.
74
They were losing the marathon,
75
the battle for brilliance, and it was time for me to step in.
76
7 a.m., I woke up,
77
this time ready for a race.
78
On top of my left-right front back teeth,
79
I made sure to give my canines a chance,
80
and so it became left, right, front, back, canine.
81
Then I went to admire my work to see if I was making progress.
82
And you know what?
83
After three days, it was working.
84
My canines, they were catching up.
85
After about two weeks, they had caught up.
86
They'd won the marathon, the battle for brilliance, because of competition.
87
Competition gave me a clear goal to strive towards.
88
If I hadn't competed in myself,
89
my teeth would look as yellow as if I'd never brushed at all.
90
So people, if you find that as you grow your strength,
91
you start to see your weaknesses falling behind.
92
Doesn't matter if you're a hockey player whose puck-selling skills are at the end of the marathon,
93
or you're the same thing with cooking.
94
If you're a chef whose stir-fried meals are at the final lap,
95
but your baking skills are so rusty that you can't bake bread to save your life,
96
make sure that you have a few freshly baked slices of bread to go along with your stir-fried meal.
97
As you keep growing your strengths,
98
you start to see your weaknesses falling behind, remember to compete.
99
Because it doesn't just have to be your teeth and your smile that can be brilliant.
100
It's any and every aspect of life.
101
So here's a challenge for you, all of you.
102
Instead of leaving your weaknesses in the dust, introduce a little self-competition.

Об этом уроке

На этом уроке вы будете практиковать разговорный английский, обращая внимание на важность саморазвития и конкуренции с самим собой. Вдохновляясь видео, представленным Эароном Вангом на TEDx, вы узнаете, как сосредоточение на своих слабостях может привести к настоящему прогрессу. Мы обсудим процесс улучшения навыков через регулярные практики и саморефлексию, что поможет вам улучшить произношение английского и уверенность в общении.

Ключевая лексика и фразы

  • battle - битва
  • polishing - полировка
  • sparkling - блестящий
  • homework - домашнее задание
  • problem - проблема
  • progress - прогресс
  • focused - сосредоточенный
  • yellowfication - желтизна

Советы по практике

При прослушивании видео обратите внимание на скорость речи Эарона Ванга. Попробуйте воспользоваться методом shadowing: воспроизводите его слова сразу после того, как он их произносит. Это поможет лучше развить ваше произношение английского и уверенность в разговоре. Если вам кажется, что темп слишком быстрый, не стесняйтесь замедлять видео. Практика должна быть постепенной. Используйте такие сайты, как shadowspeaks, для дополнительной практики с лучшими примерами и упражнениями.

Не забывайте также повторять ключевые фразы из видео, такие как «I've been brushing so intensively», чтобы улучшить вашу интонацию и акцент. Постарайтесь не зацикливаться только на своих сильных сторонах, а обратите внимание на те аспекты, которые требуют доработки, чтобы ваша практика разговорного английского была всесторонней и эффективной.

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.
