It's like tennis except the ball is quite hollow.
3
The walls are quite complicated and I have trouble remembering them sometimes.
4
He gave me some tennis lessons.
5
Because originally that was the only kind of tennis there was.
6
Nowadays you say real tennis.
7
I think one of the things that's important in mathematics is not to have too good a memory.
8
And you have to keep going back trying the same thing in a slightly different way.
9
And if you had a really good memory you wouldn't go back and try again because you'd remember, no I've tried that, it doesn't work.
10
So sometimes I see numbers, so for example in Princeton,
11
they had this little creature bury itself in the ground, I think for 17 years, and then it would come out,
12
then they'd be everywhere and they'd make a huge mess of the town.
13
And then they'd lay their eggs and they'd fly around
14
and mate and then they'd go and and bury themselves in the ground for 17 years again.
15
And 17's a prime number.
16
And they do it with prime numbers, because that way predators have a much harder time in catching them.
17
Cicadas use different prime numbers.
18
I recently learned that when groups of lions meet each other and they roar, they seem to be able to count the number of roars, or at least compare the number of roars,
19
so if the other group has more roars than they do, then they don't attack.
20
So it's a way the animals know not to get into a senseless fight.
21
I was totally unreasonable because I just wanted to solve this particular problem.
22
But that's a very foolish thing to do.
23
You shouldn't say in advance, I've got to solve this one.
24
It's very reckless.
25
I don't know if anyone else was working on it.
26
Obviously if I could do it then other people presumably could have done it.
27
I mean the real issue
28
when you have a problem like this is not whether you can do it but whether anyone can do it.
29
Some of the artists and poets might have romanticised the idea of having a bohemian or complicated personal lifestyle dedicated personal lifestyle.
30
For me, having a very stable personal life, it's essential to have the calm to think in such a long period.
31
I do get ideas walking.
32
When I walk, I can
33
just think about something and then I drop it for a minute
34
and then bring it up again and I keep looking at it from different angles.
35
Now I certainly want to...
36
I want to have a last go at first finish and die.
37
Soon I will return to that.

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.
