Somewhere in the world there is a father and a mother

And the father is a son who has a mother The

mother has a daughter who gets married to the brother of a mother

And they're all just trying to multiply with one another

just the way of the world someone in the world they

think they're working for themselves they get up every day to

go to work for someone else somebody works for them and

so they think they got it made

but they're all just working to get paid the very same and so they keep on

They're gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs, little lady, that dumb dumb.

And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs, little lady, that dumb dumb.

They're gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs, little lady, that dumb dumb.

So the people robbed the bank and the police came to get him

but they let him get away Cause they aren't just working

to get paid the very same Cause that's just the way of the world It never ends till the end

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.
