Đang tạo bài học...
1
One hour before bed, which for me is 9 o'clock, I turn off all of my digital devices.
2
iPhone, computer, TV, they all get shut off.
3
The blue light from screens can keep you up at night and strain your eyes.
4
From 9 to 10 I have a cup of tea and right.
5
My mind is at its sharpest at night so I'm usually writing a video but sometimes it's a letter. so Once
6
9.45 hits or around that time, I'll take the last steps before hitting the hay.
7
Brush teeth, bathroom, multivitamins.
8
At 10 o'clock I turn off my bank lamp and then turn on my Edison bulb on the bed.
9
Purely incandescent, no LEDs for the final hour. So Then
10
I read.
11
I read until I get tired or until 1030.
12
I try to read fiction before I fall asleep,
13
but this happens to be nonfiction. And that's it.
14
I've been leaving my phone out of my bed for the past six years and I haven't looked back.
15
I used to need a phone or screen to fall asleep and now I don't need anything.
16
I don't even really need a book, it's just something I like to do.
17
In fact, half of the time I just hit the bed and fall asleep before I even think about grabbing a book.
18
But I think this is what sleep and our lives in general are supposed to be like.
19
We've grown too dependent on our devices and cheap entertainment
20
that stripping it away from ourselves feels like a breath of fresh air.
21
Sleep is much more important than we think, and we cut ourselves short once we bring our mobile boredom killer in bed.
22
Shoving a constant feed of information down our minds throat is
23
the opposite of a break for our brain at a time we need it the most.
24
One of the benefits of joining the Patreon is that I hand type a letter to you, a thank you letter to you, right after you join.
25
It's one of my favorite things to do, and also, joining the Patreon engages you in a real community of other people.

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.
