1
Hang on, before you go.
2
What?
3
I genuinely don't like heights.
4
It's my biggest failing, among many, I accept.
5
You know that you drive into the back of my car and it's a very funny joke?
6
You don't want it to happen to you.
7
You want me to drive into it?
8
No. I'll cut your head off.
9
You will need a beep there, BBC Two.
10
Yeah.
11
I can understand.
12
Seriously.
13
Let's see.
14
My car is perfect in every way, apart from it not starting.
15
So could you, if you wouldn't mind, push me a little bit?
16
So you want me to push your car with my car now on this road here?
17
Yes, there's no alternative.
18
OK, well, here I come.
19
Careful, careful, careful.
20
Oh, it wasn't as careful as it could have been.
21
Sorry.
22
Pretty soon, we saw why the road had earned its name.
23
God almighty, that is high.
24
That is a massive, massive drop.
25
The dust didn't help either.
26
This is insane.
27
Whoa.
28
Look at the grasses stick up, and you don't necessarily see what a long way down it is, and then you get one of those little gaps, and then you just see down, and it is a long way.
29
There's one there.
30
The dust didn't help either.
31
Oh, gee.
32
Mm, look at that.
33
That's narrowed.
34
I just don't know what I'm doing.
35
I don't understand the rules on this road.
36
You seem to drive one minute on the left, one minute on the right.
37
Sometimes the lorries stop going the other way to let you go through.
38
Sometimes they don't.
39
Some lorries pull over, others come barrelling up behind you doing three
40
and a half times the speed of sound and it's completely baffling.
41
Thank you.
42
Well, I'm coming up against the truck.
43
I've got to go past him, and that means going on that side.
44
Looking straight ahead.
45
Breathe.
46
Please.
47
Moments later, James slowed down to let a mad local get past.
48
Does that mean there's one of those maniacal taxis right now?
49
And I didn't.
50
Oh, God.
51
Sorry, I was...
52
I was watching the taxi...
53
You're now going to get macheted to death.
54
I was watching the taxi.
55
I don't care.
56
I did warn you.
57
Did I or did I not warn you?
58
James is killing Jeremy.
59
Things are going well.
60
I was watching the taxi.
61
You weren't.
62
I was watching the taxi.
63
Did your co -presenter on your television programme just attack you with a machete?
64
Yes, you did.
65
He came to the window.
66
It was quite gross cos I ran into him.
67
That doesn't happen on, like, clothes programmes or gardening shows.
68
As we climbed higher, life in the already battered Toyota became truly terrifying.
69
That's my steering.
70
I'm inches from death.
71
There.
72
The steering wheel doesn't do anything.
73
My brakes stick on when I'm going uphill and cause the clutch to slip.
74
I can't breathe because the dust gets in.
75
Oh, God!
76
That's real fear now.
77
When I'm going downhill, the same brakes that stick on going uphill don't stop me.
78
The Suzuki II was showing the strain.
79
What is the matter?
80
It's got dirt in the fuel system from the river.
81
So it's broken?
82
It's not broken.
83
Occasionally, a bit of it goes through.
84
Your simple, cheap car is broken.
85
Sticking to the code of the Top Gear Brotherhood, I left James and Richard behind.
86
This goes to show they're badly made, these Japanese cars.
87
They're badly made.
88
James and I decided to stick together.
89
He's never going to go round us.
90
My God, he is.
91
That's insane.
92
Right.
93
I'm in a ditch.
94
Okay.
95
Yeah.
96
Didn't see this.
97
Whoa -ho!
98
What a thing to miss.
99
Right.
100
No biggie, though, because my colleague would winch me out in a jiffy.
101
Hold on.
102
What?
103
The winch isn't working.
104
I'm now all on my own on Death Road.
105
I have no idea where Ray Mears and Ted Nugent are.
106
They've just disappeared.
107
We have no phones, they're not on the radio.
108
Up there could be dead.
109
We would, in fact, be dead quite soon, judging by the mood of the angry stuck locals.
110
Good luck.
111
Thank you.
112
Handbrake off, et cetera.
113
Ditch is going to level out, so it'll be fine.
114
There you go.
115
What a nice man.
116
Soon, though, I wished I'd stayed in the ditch because the Toyota had developed yet another fault.
117
Something's broken on that back corner.
118
This is pretty close to undriveable now.
119
Right!
120
Meanwhile, very far ahead...
121
I'm now at 5 ,500 feet above sea level and still climbing.
122
Oh, God, crosses.
123
There's a lot of crosses there.
124
And then, underneath a waterfall, I learned why there were so many crosses up here.
125
Oh, my God.
126
No. Oh, my...
127
Stop there!
128
Let's go.
129
Let's go.
130
Let's go.
131
Let's go.
132
Let's go.
133
That is going.
134
That is going.
135
Bloody hell.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
