22
Oh, man.
23
This is messing me up, man.
24
The people in Jim's test aren't doing so well.
25
But next, Jim wants to find out if listening to classical music
26
can improve people's ability to figure out the answers to his puzzles.
27
So, we're going to play some Mozart,
28
to see if the music can raise people's IQ.
29
Now that they've listened to classical music, people in the experiment do better?
30
Try this puzzle: 24 H I A D.
31
What do you think it means?
32
24 H -I -A -D.

49
18 holes on a golf course?
50
Ha!
51
Man, I'm smart!
52
Were you able to figure out the answer? you
53
Most of the people in Jim's experiment seemed to do better after listening to Mozart for just a short while.
54
Does this mean that listening to classical music does make you smarter?
55
What about other kinds of music?
56
like rock music.
57
After doing more tests, Jim found that music,
58
any kind of music, can help improve people's focus reasoning abilities, and even creative skills.
59
The Mozart effect is a misconception, because it doesn't matter what music you listen to as long as you like it.
60
In other words, It's your enjoyment of the music that your brain reacts to.
61
not the music itself.

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.
