Shadowing Practice: Silent Letter Day - Learn English Speaking with Video

Ders oluşturuluyor...
1
The English language was created by English people.
2
I don't know when, but we decided to get letters to form words so we can communicate, but we also decided to sprinkle,
3
for no apparent reason, letters within these words.
4
They are silent forever.
5
How?
6
Why?
7
Like the word hour, for example.
8
Why is the word hour spelt with an H?
9
Why is there an H?
10
The silent H.
11
Nobody has ever said, I'll see you in a hour.
12
I'll still have a hour.
13
I'm just going to pick up the sandwich.
14
I'll be back at a hour.
15
Half a hour.
16
Half, even half has an L in it.
17
Half, half a hour.
18
How long is the journey?
19
About half a hour to a hour.
20
The sandwich shop is half a hour away.
21
It's a waste of everybody's time.
22
The word subtle, would anybody object if it was spelt S-U-T-L-E?
23
Not a single person would.
24
But there's a bee in the middle going, shh, just ignore me.
25
Just ignore me.
26
I'm silenced.
27
I have left here, left behind.
28
I don't know, I was destined for another word, baboon, but here I am with you.
29
How I long to be in the word baboon where I have a purpose.
30
Like all those words that should begin with N, but have a K of all the letters.
31
Why would a K be silent?
32
Knickers, why is it knickers?
33
Knuckles, knuckles.
34
So I've been thinking about this, as you can probably tell, and I think we should have a day.
35
We should have a day.
36
A silent letter day.
37
We would all come out to play.
38
It would be on a Wednesday.
39
A Wednesday.
40
Sometime in the autumn...
41
In the autumn...
42
In the autumn...
43
In the autumn... Could be in February.
44
I haven't promised you a day.
45
We'll do the civilian or the ottoman.
46
And we'll send the day together, families together, talking, talking, and walking, we'll do the walks.
47
And climbing, climbing, climbing, climbing, knitting, a lot of knitting.
48
People will save up their knitting to do on Silent Letter Day.
49
And the knife is the only cutlery that you're allowed to use, the knife.
50
No other cutlery is allowed on Silent Letter Day.
51
Food is buffet style, buffet style.
52
You'll go along with your knife.
53
There's salmon and swordfish and sandwiches and a yoghurt.
54
Yuck-Hurrt, Yuck-Hurrt, and you use Yuck and I.
55
All the flavours are very subtle, very subtle flavours.
56
And the GNOME will be the symbol of Silent Letter Day.
57
And Father Christmas, at Christmas, the GNOME, everybody gives each other a GNOME to celebrate.
58
Happy Silent Letter Day, I got you a GNOME.
59
I kept it hidden in the cupboard for months.
60
I wrapped it up, do you like it?
61
I wrapped it up.
62
I cut the wrapping paper with scissors, I used scissors to cut the wrapping paper.
63
I'm so sorry, I forgot, I didn't realise.
64
Is it really silent necessary?
65
Is Is it honesty?
66
Is it honesty?
67
You mean honestly?
68
Yes, it is honestly.
69
You should have Gnome.
70
You're never Nisten.
71
I'm not giving you a Gnome.
72
I'm sorry, I'm taking it back to the shop.
73
I've given the receipt.
74
I've given the receipt.
75
And at the end of the day...
76
And at the end of the day, we will celebrate with champagne.
77
Go for it.
78
Can I have you some champagne?
79
Happy Santa Lettid Day.
80
Just a drop.
81
Maybe just a splash.
82
Oh, there's a knock at the door.
83
Who can I see?
84
Oh, it's Chloe and Isla.
85
Sorry, Chloe and Isla.
86
My friends from school.
87
Friends from school.
88
Fascinating.
89
Grab a knife.
90
Help yourself to Lazagna.
91
Yeah, the sydna-sakina.
92
And at the end of the day, when we are knacket, we go to sleep at half past the hour.

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.
