1
He told the children that for every person who heard you write their name on a tomato.
2
So the children brought tomatoes to class that day.
3
The number of tomatoes is equivalent to the number of people that have heard them.
4
Some had three tomatoes, others have 30 tomatoes.
5
And the teacher said, fine, after writing the name, put it into your school bag and you're going to carry this tomato everywhere you go, even at home for the next two weeks.
6
So the kids brought the tomato everywhere, they went happily.
7
In the beginning, it was fun.
8
But then into the fifth day, the sixth day, it became so inconvenient.
9
So they could not stand it before the two weeks ended.
10
They went to the class and asked the teacher, this is so unreasonable.
11
Are you sure you want us to do this because it is so heavy and it's rotting?
12
We want to get rid of it.
13
And teacher said, exactly that's the point.
14
You see, unforgiveness is like carrying this rotten tomato in your heart.
15
Every time when you choose to be unforgiving towards someone, you're carrying it wherever you go.
16
You see, the only way to lighten your burden and to remove all this smell is to let go, forgive.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
