7
On my radio show today,
8
I'm going to be telling you the amazing story of William.
9
William was born and grew up in a small village in Malawi, in Africa.
10
He wasn't naturally academic at school,
11
and in fact, he had to leave school at the age of 14,
12
because his family couldn't afford to pay the $80 tuition fees.
13
His family were farmers, and they wanted William to become one too,
14
but William had ambitions to be a mechanic.
15
This looked doubtful, because the family had no money,
16
and so William had to help out in the fields.
17
He still had some free time,
18
though, so he would spend it in the local library.
19
There he found two textbooks,
20
explaining physics and using energy.
21
And from them, William found out all about how you could get electricity from windmills.
22
William's village was very poor,
23
but it did have a lot of wind.
24
He could see that electricity would solve a number of problems for his family,
25
and best of all, he would be able to have a light in his room so he could read at night.
26
One could see that having a windmill to make electricity would mean freedom for himself and his family.
27
The electricity would be able to quickly pump water to his family's fields of maize,
28
which would allow them to grow more food.
29
He decided to build a windmill near his house.
30
His father was too busy,
31
so he asked his cousin to help him,
32
and they spent some time trying to find the necessary parts.
33
Luckily, they managed to get hold of a bicycle someone had thrown away,
34
and which they used to form the basis of the windmill.
35
They mainly used the chain and the dynamo.
36
For the windmill blades, they used an old plastic pipe
37
which they cut in two and heated over hot coals to make flat.
38
This all took a long time,
39
but the result was worth it.
40
The windmill was a great success,
41
and currently the village has three of them,
42
and the villagers can all go to watch TV,
43
as well as enjoy all the other benefits electricity has brought.
44
William is now older and is keen to build windmills across the whole of his country.
45
William's family can now harvest other crops besides maize, such as potatoes.
46
The people in the village are much healthier and happier than they were before,
47
and other children are beginning to study science,
48
as they can now see how useful it is to their lives.

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
