Shadowing Practice: How to Love Your Work - Learn English Speaking with Video

Ders oluşturuluyor...
1
In a perfect world, when it came to choosing an occupation, we would have only two priorities in mind: Firstly, to find a job that we enjoyed.
2
and secondly to find a job that paid us enough to cover reasonable material needs.
3
But in order to think so freely, we would have to be emotionally balanced in a way that few of us actually are.
4
In reality, when it comes to choosing an occupation, we tend to be haunted by three additional priorities: we need to find a job
5
that will pay not just enough to cover reasonable material expenses, but a lot more besides: enough to impress other people,
6
even other people we don't like very much.
7
We also crave to find a job that will allow us not to be at the mercy of other people, whom we may deep down fear and distrust.
8
And, we hope for a job that will make us known.
9
esteemed, honoured and perhaps famous, so that we will never again have to feel small or neglected.
10
Needless to say, these three additional requirements make working life hugely more complicated
11
and unhappy than it would otherwise have needed to be.
12
No wonder we may get stuck choosing what to do.
13
Rather than being able to focus on the jobs that we are passionate about and that we would intrinsically enjoy, we have to twist our natures to appease extrinsic imperatives.
14
There is no way that we could, for example, work as a kindergarten teacher, a psychotherapist, a carpenter or a cook.
15
Our psychological drive to impress, to have power over others and to be known to strangers, preclude such relatively modest choices from the outset.
16
The state of our psyches means that we have to aim for far more stellar careers, even in fields we don't really much like,
17
and we may have to work much harder than is good for our health or our families.
18
We are prone to be constantly panicked because the bar for failing is so much higher.
19
A slight wind of disapproval from the public might be experienced as appalling.
20
A bit less money than the astronomical sum we made last year will register as fateful Under pressure, we may make unwise and hasty moves.
21
We might cut corners, involve ourselves in risky schemes, and not give our work the time and calm it needs.
22
What would enable us to make the right career choices is something that seems, on the face of it, to have nothing to do with work at all.
23
Love a profound experience of love in both childhood and adulthood.
24
A child who is properly loved is a creature who doesn't need to prove itself in any significant way.
25
It doesn't have to excel at school, dazzle acquaintances or shore up a parent's fragile sense of esteem.
26
It may do well at school anyway, but because it enjoys the work, not because it has to boost a parent.
27
It can find its way to its own pleasures.
28
It doesn't need to amaze because it's special enough just by existing.
29
It may end up working extremely hard, but it will do so because it is passionate, not because it craves applause.
30
It can concentrate on doing a job very well, while unimpeded by any worries as to whether it will be known in a hundred years or to people in another city.
31
It can potter away in obscurity, deriving gratification from the business at hand.
32
An experience of adult love further enhances the sense of security we need.
33
When someone properly loves us, their patience, concern and tenderness make us feel rooted and welcome on the earth.
34
It doesn't really matter if no one knows who we are
35
and if there's very little left over at the end of the month.
36
"Two people who are in love will be happy to sleep on a park bench," wrote DH Lawrence.
37
an idea which may not be literally true, but which conveys well enough what room for manoeuvre love gives us in relation to our material priorities.
38
It follows that when people crave power, fortune and fame, it isn't greed that's driving them, but an anguished feeling of being unloved,
39
for which we can feel enormous compassion.
40
They may look like winners ; they are in reality unhappy victims.
41
Excessive achievements are the legacy of an emotionally damaged sense that it isn't enough just to be.
42
It may have become second nature to us to try to fix emotional wounds through our career choices and exploits.
43
We may not even realise what we're up to.
44
We should dare to ask: what might I have done with my life if I had felt properly loved from the start?
45
And we may have to acknowledge, with tears in our eyes, how different our path would have been,
46
how many genuine ambitions we sacrificed in the name of shoring up a sense of acceptability we should have had from infancy.
47
The most astonishing career achievements will never compensate anyone for the lack of love they've suffered.
48
Work cannot fix a deficit of love.
49
we should enjoy work on its own terms, and in another part of our lives,
50
mourn and seek redemptive substitutes for the love we originally lacked.

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.
