Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: I Tried Apple’s First Folding iPhone. Here Are 3 Takeaways. | WSJ News

1
Apple has finally folded.
2
After years of folding Android phones, the iPhone duo is here at last.
3
And it's the biggest shakeup to the company's smartphone lineup since Steve Jobs first announced that rectangle with rounded corners.
4
For $1,999, you can now have a 7.6-inch tablet that fits in your pocket.
5
I spent the day at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California to try the new iPhone before it ships on October 23rd.
6
Here are my three takeaways.
7
Number one, it is so much screen.
8
When it's shut it's like using a squatter wider iPhone with a slightly different app layout.
9
Controls are now on the side of the screen rather than on the top
10
so you can easily reach them with one hand.
11
Flip it open and the iPhone turns into a little tablet.
12
I tested some glorious full screen YouTube watching and reading articles with gigantic text.
13
And it's a pretty nice experience.
14
You can prop up the Duo into a little tent mode to watch from the front screen, or a laptop mode to watch it from the interior screen,
15
as long as you don't mind the slight indent between the phone's two halves, AKA the crease.
16
Most of the time, I couldn't see it, but I could feel it.
17
There's some unique advantages to this two-screen setup.
18
The one that got the biggest applause, you can play cartoons on the outside screen while you're taking a picture of your kids to distract them.
19
Number two, you can be more productive.
20
The Duo isn't quite as big as the mini iPad.
21
It's more like a micro iPad, but you can do some of the tablet's multitasking features.
22
I already do a lot of work on my iPhone, but I could see how much more work I could do if I could see two apps side by side.
23
90% of the time I have Word document open on one side and a web page open on the other.
24
And you can do that with the Duo.
25
You could also be less productive and have Netflix open while you work on other stuff.
26
But developers need to make their apps Duo compatible.
27
Apple showed off Duo friendly versions of Slack and Zoom.
28
And I'll be waiting for the rest of the App Store to catch up.
29
Number three, there are trade-offs.
30
The iPhone Duo is a step down from Apple's less pricey Pro models in some ways.
31
There are only two main cameras.
32
The 18 Pro has 8x zoom, while the Duo only promises 2x zoom.
33
So it's an iPhone for people who don't get worked up about missing the perfect shot.
34
There's also no Face ID, only Touch ID.
35
And if you're not holding the phone the right way, it's a little harder to authenticate.
36
The trick will be to register multiple fingerprints so you can unlock it with either hand.
37
The battery life is about the same as the 18 Pro — 24 hours of regular use per charge.
38
If you're only watching video on the outside screen, you get more — 37 hours.
39
But I'll need to test this in the real world.
40
Apple didn't invent the folding phone.
41
In fact, here's one from Samsung that looks just like the Duo, called the Galaxy Z Fold 8.
42
And Samsung has long been a display supplier for Apple.
43
For years, those folding phones have been more of a gimmick than a mainstream buy.
44
Apple has spent a lot of time on its interface and software to get this multi-mode device to work.
45
But until I'm able to take it for a real test drive, I'm not totally sold yet.
46
Stay tuned for my full review.

Về Bài Học Này

Bạn đang luyện tập phát âm tiếng Anh với video "I Tried Apple’s First Folding iPhone. Here Are 3 Takeaways. | WSJ News" bằng phương pháp Shadowing — kỹ thuật được Dr. Alexander Arguelles phổ biến rộng rãi.

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.
