Hello, lovely students, and welcome back to English with Lucy.
2
I have a very special lesson for you today that's going to help you practice your speaking and pronunciation skills in English.
3
Today, we're going to do some shadowing.
4
You are going to become my shadow.

21
My husband is using it to learn Spanish.

23
It's amazing.

28
Okay, before we begin your speaking practice, I want to explain what shadowing is and what I'm going to ask you to do in this video.
29
When shadowing, you repeat what someone is saying with as little delay as possible.
30
It's not repeat after me, it's speak along with me.
31
So while I speak, you speak too, trying to match my speech patterns, my intonation and pronunciation.
32
This is a great way to improve your speaking, especially if you don't have anyone to speak with.
33
It feels a bit weird at first, but once you understand and know the technique, You can use literally any audio you want to practise more.
34
Just choose a person who you want to sound like and go for it.
35
Okay, I'm going to tell you a story about something slightly embarrassing that happened to Will and me last week.
36
Some of the vocabulary might be new for you.
37
Don't worry, I've put a full list of vocab in the PDF.
38
When shadowing, the primary focus is not on the grammar or the vocabulary.
39
It's on mimicking the pronunciation of the speaker.
40
First, just listen to me.
41
Then we'll talk about the pronunciation.
42
Then you can practise.
43
The other night, Will and I were sitting down to dinner when we heard a thump above our heads.
44
That's our first sentence.
45
Did you notice anything about my pronunciation?
46
I want to point out a couple of features that will help you sound more natural when you're shadowing me.
47
Firstly, I used a schwa when saying Will and I, and I elided or dropped the d sound in and.
48
will and I, not will and I, will and I.
49
I also used a weak form of were, were, to, to, and the article a, a.
50
That was just before thump, a thump.
51
And did you hear which word was most stressed in that sentence?
52
Thump, that was the most interesting and surprising information.
53
Okay, let's practise together now.
54
Speak along with me.
55
The other night, Will and I were sitting down to dinner when we heard a thump above our heads.
56
Good, if you want more practise, just pause the video, replay that part.
57
Here's the next part of the story.
58
Listen first.
59
We live in an old house, so we just shrugged it off and started eating.
60
There was another louder thud, and then what sounded like footsteps.
61
Creepy, right?
62
So before you speak along with me, I want to point out one feature of connected speech in that sentence, catenation, which is when a consonant sound at the end of one word joins with a vowel sound at the beginning of the next.
63
You saw this in living and old, living and old, and shrugged it off, Shrugged it off.
64
Live in an old.
65
It's almost like old starts with N.
66
An old.
67
Live in an old.
68
Let's practise again.
69
Now say it with me out loud.
70
We live in an old house, so we just shrugged it off and started eating.
71
There was another louder thud and then what sounded like footsteps.
72
Okay, the next part.
73
Just listen.
74
I am not joking when I tell you the hairs on my arms stood on end.
75
Even Will looked a bit shaken, which is not like him at all.
76
He called our dog Diego for company and went upstairs to investigate.
77
Okay, a few things to point out here before we try this together.
78
Firstly, I didn't use a contraction with I am, I am.
79
You probably know that we almost always use contractions rather than full forms when we're speaking, especially in informal situations.
80
But here I chose to use the full form for emphasis.
81
I also stressed not.
82
You also heard assimilation with the words on my.
83
The n in on became on my.
84
There are also examples of intrusion in the text.
85
I am, my arms, to investigate.
86
Between I am and my arms, I inserted a y sound.
87
and between to and investigate, to investigate, there was a wha sound.
88
Now let's practise together.
89
I am not joking when I tell you the hairs on my arms stood on end.
90
Even Will looked a bit shaken, which is not like him at all.
91
He called our dog Diego for company and went upstairs to investigate.
92
Great, okay, here's the final part of my story and your shadowing exercise.
93
Listen first.
94
Moments later, Diego came bounding down the stairs with a tennis ball in his mouth.
95
What do you know?
96
A bunch of tennis balls had fallen off the top of the wardrobe and rolled down the landing.
97
And there you have it.
98
Will and I felt a bit silly, but Diego was really happy.
99
All right, before you do your final shadowing, there are just a few things to point out.
100
One, notice how I said, what do you know?
101
What do you know?
102
This is an informal contraction and these are really common in speech.
103
And the final thing is that I said, Tennis balls had fallen.
104
Tennis balls had fallen.
105
Balls had had a weak form.
106
Instead of saying balls had, balls had.
107
Okay, do it with me.
108
Let's do your final shadowing practise.
109
Moments later, Diego came bounding down the stairs with a tennis ball in his mouth.
110
What do you know?
111
A bunch of tennis balls had fallen off the top of the wardrobe and rolled down the landing.
112
Okay, how did you do?
113
Were you able to speak along with me?
114
If not, don't worry.
115
Shadowing is quite an advanced technique and it takes time and practise and a bit of humility to master.
116
But it's a really valuable way to practise lots of different features of pronunciation and to try to sound a bit more like a native speaker if that's what you're looking to achieve.
117
Let me know if you enjoyed this lesson and if you'd like to do some more shadowing lessons, I'd love to make them for you.

背景與上下文
在這個英語學習課程中，老師Lucy帶領學生們通過一種稱為“影子跟讀”（shadowing）的方法來提高他們的發音和口語能力。影子跟讀是一種重複的練習技巧，可以幫助學生在說英語時變得更加自然。在這個影片中，Lucy將與大家分享一些有趣的故事，同時教導如何有效進行影子跟讀。通過這種方法，學生可以模仿說話者的語調和語速，提高自己的英語交流能力，非常適合那些想要提升雅思口語練習的學習者。
日常交流的五個常用短語
- Will and I - 「威爾和我」
- thump above our heads - 「頭頂上有咚的一聲」
- speak along with me - 「和我一起說」
- improve your pronunciation - 「提高你的發音」
- mimicking the pronunciation - 「模仿發音」
這些短語在日常交流中非常實用，學生們可以通過影子跟讀來練習這些短語的發音，並增加詞彙量，便於在實際對話中應用。
逐步影子跟讀指南
要掌握影子跟讀的方法，可以參考以下步驟來應對這個影片的練習：
- 認真聆聽：首先，仔細聽Lucy的發音和語調，儘量理解每句話的意思。
- 注意細節：關注發音中使用的弱讀音，例如她在說“Will and I”時的輕音。
- 跟隨發音：在她開始說話時，立刻與之同步發聲，儘量減少延遲。這不僅能提高你的口語，還能幫助你更好地掌握髮音技巧。
- 重複練習：進行多次練習，嘗試使用不同的音訊材料來強化影子跟讀效果，可以選擇看YouTube學英語的相關內容。
- 檢查發音：根據PDF中的詞彙表，核對和糾正自己的發音，確保你能準確模仿說話者的聲音。
通過這種系統的影子跟讀練習，學生們不僅能提升英語口語能力，還能更自信地與他人交流，從而在學習旅程中獲得更多樂趣和成就感。無論你是剛開始學習英語，還是希望提高發音和口語能力的學生，影子跟讀都是一個非常有效的練習方法。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | I've also created · you've learned · I've put |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | person who you · catenation, which is · shaken, which is |
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。
