Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: How to become a Better Reader & remember what you read

Good morning, good evening or good night, whichever one it is for you, whichever one it is.

I'm very glad you're here to join me for this week's video, which is a special one because I haven't ever done anything like this before.

But I get asked quite frequently how I read so much, how I read so actively, how I manage to remember so much of what I read,

how I find books that I love.

And even though I'm not a professional by any means, there are some things I implement, some habits that are implemented in my reading that I just instinctively do

that I think might help someone and that I think might answer those questions.

So this video is basically a guide, a how -to guide on how to become a better reader.

A little toolbox of tips and tricks if you will.

Now before we get into it I do want to put a disclaimer here.

I'm aware that life circumstances, is degrees of responsibility, degrees of busyness, maybe health issues.

There are so many factors that go into your reading habits.

I'm not by any means trying to put pressure on you

or telling you that these are things you need to do to become a better reader.

In fact, I don't think such a qualification should ever exist.

In fact, if you're someone who thinks they might feel pressured by a video of this kind, I urge you to click off now because I want this to be a positive thing.

I want this to be a little toolbox for people who are looking to improve their reading, who are looking to maybe grow as readers or who are trying to change their habits a little bit.

But if you know that that's not possible, if that is not something you're interested in, then please don't even feel the need to watch this video.

Like, then this is not the video for you.

I'm completely and utterly against making reading into some sort of competition.

Reading is above all supposed and meant to be a hobby.

You don't by any means need to take any of this advice.

Maybe there is a certain point that piques your interest.

Maybe you don't want to implement any of these tips.

Maybe you think they're completely stupid and nonsensical.

That's completely fine.

Always remember that at the end of the day, reading is a hobby.

And it is one of the most healthy brain health conducive hobbies that exist on this planet.

So whether you read one page a month or one book a year, No matter what you're reading, how much you're reading, as long as you're even reading at all,

you are participating in one of the most healthy hobbies that exist on planet Earth.

So good on you.

Be happy about that.

Be proud of that.

So now to get into it, I have separated this list into five overarching categories that I think might be helpful.

So without further ado, let's get right into it with the first category, which is curate your taste because how do you even know

which books you want to read especially if you're starting out reading

or you're maybe new to reading how in the world are

you supposed to know what books to pick up how are

you to know how to evolve your reading taste maybe you've been a reader for a long time

but you're maybe tired of the books you've been reading you're looking to expand your genres

or the topics you read about now my first tip for

that would be to trust your instincts I get this temptation

of looking up reviews before you commit to buying a book

or picking up a book but I think that is very very treacherous

because no two people are alike and likewise no two readers are alike.

You can share 10 of the same absolute favorite books with someone and completely disagree on the 11th.

So why in the world would you base your book buying and book reading on somebody else's taste?

I think freeing yourself from that just going into a bookstore looking at the books there,

reading the blurbs in the back and letting yourself be inspired and led by that is the best way to go.

Trust yourself and pick up that book that no one else enjoys

and you might just find your new favorite book of all time.

To expand on that and this might seem contradictory

but I would recommend that you try to read a sample of a book before committing to buying it.

If you have the luxury of going into a bookstore

and finding books there then maybe open the book and read one

or two pages sometimes something that i do and

that might not be for everyone is i open the book in the middle of the book

and i read a page in there

because sometimes the first page is the best page but then after

that it just goes downhill and

because you don't yet know the characters you don't yet know

the story it's you're not going to get spoiled you're not your brain is not going to retain

that information it's just about reading the dialogue reading the writing

style the descriptions the grammar the way the paragraphs are ordered

that's much more helpful to me than reading just the blurb of a book

or the reviews of a book because those can be very misleading

if you're like me

and you live in a country where you can't really find

the books you want to read in bookstores then you can

also always you don't need to support amazon by buying from amazon

but what you can always do is you can go on amazon

and download a sample for your kindle you can get the

kindle app for free you don't have to pay any money you can just go on any book

that is available on Amazon.

Go to the Kindle version of the book and then download a sample to your Kindle.

Usually it's a few percent of the book that you can then actually read for free before committing to buying the book.

And then you can go ahead and buy the book from anywhere and everywhere.

But then you've had an idea of how the book was written.

Another thing that I do and have always done

that I don't see enough people doing and I think it's incredibly important to do is if you like a book,

read more books by that same author if that author has written more than one book.

Because usually I find that my favorite book by an author is not their most popular book, which is the one you're most likely to read going into the author.

And maybe that's a good book, but maybe that author has written so many better books.

So I like to read at least two or three books by the same author in a short span of time.

Because when the books are fresh in your mind, like if you wait a year, you don't really have any point of comparison between the two.

But I think it's really, really conducive to your understanding of the author of the author's books

and of your own taste and your own standing towards the author

if you read more than one book at a time by them, like back to back, I mean.

Because then you can actively compare,

you can pick up on maybe overarching motifs or things that usually every author is concerned with certain specific subjects.

And they will treat those subjects differently if it's a good author in each book, but you will pick up on overarching themes and that is so fun.

It is so engaging for your brain.

It'll also teach you to look for nuances in a story

that you might not be able to look at in the same way

if you read different authors and completely different stories by different people.

So that is something I highly highly recommend.

Another one that I think is probably quite popular but

when you go online to buy books there will always be a category of people also buy

or you might also be interested in.

Check out that category because sometimes you'll find books there

100

that at least for me

101

that has been the experience you've never heard of anywhere you've never heard anyone talk about it

102

but maybe the title sounded interesting maybe the cover looked nice

103

and so you clicked on it and you find a gem a completely hidden gem

104

that you would have never stumbled upon if you hadn't checked out

105

that people also buy category so that's something to look out for as well that's it for the first category.

106

So now let's move into the second category, which I think is so fundamentally important and underrated nowadays.

107

It is don't underestimate your abilities and your intelligence.

108

There is a few things that you can implement to actively combat that, because I think for some reason people nowadays are so,

109

so likely to underestimate themselves and to just believe that they're not capable of things that they very much are capable of.

110

You can do hard things, I promise you you can.

111

Now one very simple thing you can do in order to gain confidence is to challenge your comfort zone.

112

For instance you could pick up a book that you think will be too difficult for you.

113

In fact I think everyone should do that.

114

You should always always pick up books that you think you will not be able to understand.

115

Because the only way to grow is to do something you thought was impossible.

116

Start slowly.

117

Don't overwhelm yourself.

118

But at the same time don't get lazy about it.

119

It takes a long time to get used to something new, especially if your brain is not used to challenging itself in that way.

120

It'll take patience and it'll take perseverance, but it'll be worth it.

121

So for instance, if you have never read a classic or if you've read classics, but very, very modern classics, and maybe you want to veer more into the Jane Austen,

122

more older English sort of classic literature, then you could pick up a Jane Austen book.

123

I I think most people would be likely to pick up one of her books

124

because those are very popular and quite easy to read for the writing style.

125

But something that Jane Austen does

126

that not all the modern classics do is her books are

127

written in a different form of English than we are used to speaking nowadays.

128

So it'll be a bit of a challenge for your brain to adjust.

129

And what you can do in order not to overwhelm yourself is you can make a goal.

130

You can pick up the book, make a goal of maybe reading five to ten pages every single day.

131

You can read a chapter a day and for Jane Austen books that's actually cool because her chapters are usually quite short.

132

And I think reading one chapter is even better.

133

But if one chapter is too overwhelming, start with 5 to 10 pages and try your absolute hardest to persevere in

134

that for at least a week or two weeks.

135

Because if you give up after three days because the book is still hard to read, then you're missing out on an opportunity because,

136

yes, it'll take a while for your brain to adjust to that new writing style, those new concepts, those new ways of behaving and those new ways of telling stories.

137

But once you've gotten used to it, you now have this treasure trove of classic literature that you had never thought possible to discover.

138

And your brain has just learned that you can, in fact, do hard things.

139

You can get used to things like that as well, even though it maybe takes a few weeks to get used to it.

140

You are capable of that.

141

It might take time, but I promise you, it's time well spent.

142

Now the third point sort of expands on the second one.

143

The third point is challenge your comfort zone.

144

I think the best way to do

145

that is to make a goal of reading a few books a year that you think you will not like.

146

Maybe they deal with motifs or concepts or subject matters that you don't agree with, that you do not like or do not feel drawn to.

147

It can also be a book you think will just be playing too hard for you

148

or that deals with a different sort of experience or opinion on life.

149

If you're religious, then maybe read a book dealing with a different religion or someone of a different religion.

150

If you're atheist, maybe read a book about someone who follows a religion.

151

It can also be something simple like someone from a different country or a book that deals with a different time period.

152

It can be about someone with a different sexual orientation than you.

153

The goal is to practice empathy and understanding for someone whose life experience is completely different to your own.

154

Even better if it's an approach you find off -putting.

155

If you only pick up books that deal with exactly your opinion of life, with exactly what you find comfortable and exactly what you agree with,

156

then you will never be able to expand your horizons.

157

You need contradictory information.

158

You need things you dislike in order to better evolve as a human being.

159

You need counterintuitive impulses in order to build your own opinion.

160

Challenging your horizons is the best way of becoming a better reader, but most of all of becoming a better human being.

161

Another thing that I think most people don't do but should do is make a goal in your life, a lifetime goal of reading at least one book per country in the world.

162

It doesn't need to be a classic.

163

I personally think classics are more informative, but you can just read any, any book.

164

That'll teach you so much about different cultures and ways of thinking, ways of living, ways of practicing being a human being in this world.

165

Then something that I of course need to mention is read at least five classics a year.

166

If you're intimidated by classics, start with that small number.

167

Five classics, I think, is a very digestible number.

168

They don't have to be long.

169

They can be short stories even.

170

They can be very short novellas.

171

You don't need to pick up all of the chunkers right away.

172

But I think there's nothing that improves your understanding of the present like experiencing the mindset of the past.

173

It'll give you a point of reference that you would never otherwise have.

174

Reading books about any given time period and I'm not talking about historical books that were written after the facts.

175

I'm talking about novels that were written at the time by people who lived in the time.

176

If you read a classic from the Victorian era you will pick up on societal norms, on the way people behaved, the way people conducted themselves,

177

the rules that were implicit in societal conduct.

178

The topics most commonly discussed, the things that were maybe problematic about the time that you can now pick up on reading it after the fact,

179

it'll give you an entirely different point of reference and ability of understanding that no contemporary book ever could.

180

I think that is one of the reasons that reading classics is so important.

181

They give you something that no contemporary book can give you.

182

And classics get this reputation of being difficult

183

but they really really aren't they're just books that were written a little

184

while ago there's difficult books in any genre at any given time

185

but above all you'll be surprised if you haven't picked up classics

186

or if you're intimidated by them or

187

if you maybe stop reading classics after reading three books

188

that you did not like or vibe with you will be surprised at how fun

189

and entertaining and engaging they are and something that I always find

190

so striking and so sad that some people are missing out on is how relevant they still are to this day.

191

Leading into that, I think you should also start, if you haven't already, to read the ancient classics.

192

Not just ancient Greek and Roman.

193

Don't just stop with the Odyssey and the Iliad and maybe the Metamorphoses.

194

Do not stop there.

195

Try to read the ancient Chinese classics.

196

Look into different cultures

197

because there is the whole world literature has been around for

198

a long time in a lot of places the classics is

199

where it all started philosophy science religion medicine politics societal norms even literature

200

and fiction itself you will find the origin of everything currently

201

in existence in those classic texts they will widen your horizons

202

and at the same time you will be so surprised at how little has really changed over these millennia.

203

People still deal with much of the same issues, have the same desires and dreams and hopes and concerns.

204

It's merely the circumstances that have changed.

205

Nothing in the world makes me feel less alone and more understood than reading the ancient classics.

206

Just a small little recommendation because why not?

207

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

208

I think that's one of the best examples of the point I'm trying to make here.

209

Now, the fourth point is more about how to interact with a specific book.

210

The fourth point is read actively.

211

One thing that I do that really helps me, that I have done for years now,

212

is as I'm reading a book, I'm.. actively creating a review for the book in my head

213

if that sounds too difficult you can also just take notes

214

or you can do what i do and just do it in your head

215

but constantly review the book in your head i'm not talking

216

i like this book i like the characters i like the

217

writing style i'm talking go into depth go into the minutiae

218

of the story of course this is necessary for every single

219

book i don't do it for every single book there's books like for example if i'm reading a Stephen King.

220

I don't really do that as much.

221

But starting out you could maybe for instance choose one book a month where you want to practice that.

222

It's just about getting your brain used to doing that.

223

Because this is above all else how you better interact with the story and how you end up remembering the story better.

224

If you are interacting with the story actively as you are reading it.

225

Things that I for instance always look for when I'm doing this is looking for overarching motifs or concepts.

226

So for instance one thing that's fresh in my mind

227

because I've been reading a lot of Ray Bradbury recently is

228

there's a theme he always implements of equating the seasons to the stages in life a person is at.

229

So when Ray Bradbury talks about spring he's talking about very young children.

230

If he talks about winter that is very old people and

231

so that is an overarching motif you can look for in his work

232

because he won't always explain it but it'll be there

233

and once you've picked up on it you can understand certain sentences much better

234

because Ray Bradbury is one of those people who implement a lot of symbolism

235

and a lot of hidden depths into their stories.

236

Another thing that's really easy to look for is the kind of writing style that's implemented.

237

Is it flowery?

238

Is it very matter of fact?

239

There's books like for instance Mary Ann by Daphne du Maurier that are written almost like court documents.

240

They read like bullet points because the story is a largely court -based story.

241

It is a court -based narrative.

242

It is a critique of the justice system and of discrimination.

243

At least that's a huge part of the book.

244

So the writing style here is an extension of the theme the book actually speaks about.

245

And you will find that that is the case most times, at least in books that are good.

246

And if you look for the writing style, you can actually even have one more point of reference of

247

if the book is actually good because the writing style is a huge part of that.

248

Then you can also look at the characters.

249

Are they created complexly?

250

Are they fleshed out?

251

Or are there more stereotypical sort of characters in a book?

252

And then you can go a step further and look at if that is purposeful in the story.

253

So for instance, there are books where stereotypical characters are the point of the story.

254

It is a narrative device.

255

And then there are stories where it's just a lack of skill from the part of the author.

256

And all of this is obviously also aided

257

if you read more than one book by an author

258

because every single one of these points will be more expansively analyzable if you read more than one book.

259

Because then you can see is this book an outlier or is this book part of a larger theme maybe.

260

And then you should always look at historical context.

261

When was the book written?

262

What time does it take place in?

263

How does the narrative figure into all of that?

264

Historical context is incredibly important.

265

Something that's actually very fun is to look into the author after you've read the book.

266

I find if you do that before you pick up the book it can color your opinion, your first impression of the story if maybe the author is someone you dislike.

267

You end up disliking then you start to dislike the book as you're reading it.

268

I have that experience with Tolstoy a lot.

269

But if you find out more about the author, about their political opinions maybe or just their standing in society

270

or their life experience if that is something you can even get your hands on

271

that information then that'll improve the story

272

because it'll put the story more into a personal context you can then maybe see what

273

that author specifically was influenced by in their own life

274

and how that translated into the stories they write again this is not necessary

275

but I find it a very very fun exercise I recently learned a lot about Daphne du Maurier's personal life

276

that I had no clue about

277

and it's kind of made me think differently about her books

278

and it's made me really excited about picking up more of her books

279

because I now see them differently

280

and then point number five is train your memory now this

281

is not for everybody this is more for their nerds I think

282

but in my opinion this is the most important thing

283

if you want your brain to be capable of more things you need to put effort into

284

that and one thing you need to do in order to do that is to train your memory.

285

This is a sort of extension to the previous point to reading actively, but it's an expansion of it.

286

In order to train your memory, the most obvious thing you can do is practice memorizing things.

287

You can start with quotes.

288

Maybe you have quotes that you love or you've recently picked up a book

289

that you really like that had some sentence that you really liked.

290

Learn that sentence by heart.

291

If you're one of those people who have a lot of difficulty memorizing things, I know everybody is capable of different things

292

and it's not about intelligence it's sometimes just about what your

293

brain is used to doing most people aren't really used to learning things by heart

294

But if you start really small with a quote that you like, with a sentence that you found cool, maybe with a part of a song that you haven't heard of, maybe find a new song,

295

maybe even by an artist you like

296

and maybe learn the chorus by heart as you're listening to it for the first time.

297

Make that your goal and do that every single day.

298

Make it a goal to learn something new by heart every single day.

299

Again, start with a small sentence and then maybe move on to a song text, maybe move on to a poem

300

And then maybe you can move on to a whole paragraph of a book if you feel like it.

301

It is one of those things that'll take a lot of effort and that will feel very strange to you at first.

302

But if you implement that, your memory will become so much better.

303

The brain is a muscle that you get to train.

304

IQ is not something you are entirely born with.

305

Not fully, at least.

306

I genuinely believe that we have all of the power over our brain's capacity.

307

Of course, not everybody again there are a lot of circumstances

308

that factor into it but you have power over your brain

309

and you get to train your brain

310

and your brain is the greatest weapon you have in life it is how you experience everything

311

so putting that effort into it is going to be so so rewarding

312

and it is going to factor into every one of the

313

points previous everything the way you approach life the way you

314

approach books will be colored by the health of your brain

315

and this is how you train your brain this is how your brain becomes healthy

316

and I think it is the most rewarding the most fundamentally

317

nice thing you can do for yourself this is self -care training your memory is self -care and

318

that is all those are all of the tips I have

319

I'm probably now in the position where I've made some of you a little bit angry huh

320

and some of you probably thought how ridiculous is that reading is just supposed to be fun.

321

Why are you making a chore of it?

322

Why are you giving us homework?

323

This is not meant to be that.

324

Again, this is meant to be fun tips and tricks that you can maybe implement if you're feeling like it.

325

Maybe you're a little bit bored today

326

and maybe you're looking for something to do and maybe study a quote

327

or maybe write a little bit of a review

328

or maybe revisit some notes you've taken of a book

329

or maybe revisit some annotations you've done

330

and maybe try to write a few sentences about the book maybe look into a new genre

331

or don't do any of that and just go

332

and watch tv that's completely valid

333

and fine too i am very grateful you were here

334

and listen to me and

335

if you have any tips please please put them down below

336

let's make this comment section a discussion let's make it a conversation let's help one another

337

because reading is such a fun hobby

338

and it's one of those hobbies where you're never gonna be lacking in friends

339

because there are so many of us out there

340

and yeah I just thank you thank you for being here

341

and I hope you're having a nice day

342

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.
