Đang tạo bài học...
1
Good morning! Can I ask you a question?
2
Who succeeds in life? Is it the most talented people?
3
Angela Duckworth wanted to find out.
4
Her answer became a famous book called Grit.
5
Before she was a scientist, Duckworth was a maths teacher.
6
And she noticed something strange.
7
Some of her smartest students didn't do very well.
8
And some students who struggled at first did brilliantly!
9
Later, she studied new cadets at West Point, a famous army academy.
10
Their first summer there is incredibly tough.
11
Some cadets quit after just a few weeks.
12
So who stayed? Not the strongest, and not the smartest.
13
The ones who stayed had grit.
14
Grit means passion and perseverance for long-term goals.
15
In simple words, you love something, and you don't give up.
16
Duckworth also says effort counts twice.
17
First, effort turns your talent into skill.
18
Then, effort turns that skill into real success.
19
Her family even has a fun rule. They call it the Hard Thing Rule.
20
Everyone must do one hard thing, like the violin or ballet.
21
And you can't quit in the middle. You finish the season first.
22
So, if you're not the most talented person, don't worry.
23
Find something you love, and keep going.
24
Especially on the hard days!

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.
