28
Imagine that a soccer ball is flying towards your head while you are chatting with your friends in the playground.
29

so the upstairs brain is not really needed in that moment.
31

32

36
but there's no actual danger to your body like
37
when you are worried about giving a speech
38
or getting in trouble the upstairs brain doesn't realize
39
that your body is safe from harm
40
but it still gives its energy to the downstairs brain
41
so the worry part gets louder

and the sensible part of the brain gets all covered up

and mushed over and harder to connect with life can get pretty difficult when we can't connect with our sensible brain.

When we can't connect with our sensible brain it also means
50
that when our parents try to explain stuff to us we might not be able to listen properly
51
and then arguments can grow bigger.
52
It's really really hard making good decisions when the sensible brain is hidden.
53

54
once the downstairs brain calms down,
55
we can find our sensible brain again and can apologise for our actions or problem solve for next time.
56
Often humans don't even realise which part of the brain is being loudest,

在觀看這個影片時,建議使用shadowspeak的方法進行口語練習。首先,調整影片的播放速度,以便能夠跟上講解者的語速。這個影片的內容情感豐富,因此適當的播放速度可以幫助你更好地捕捉每個情感表達和語調變化,提升你的提高英語發音和流利度。在準備模仿時,建議分段進行,每次集中在一至兩個句子上,儘量模仿其語氣和情感,以幫助你建立更自然的表達方式。可以嘗試在shadowing site上錄製自己的聲音,並與原影片進行對比,找出發音和語調上的差異。通過shadowing練習,你將能夠提高你的英語口語能力,使交流更加流暢和自信。
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。
