The people in Jim's test aren't doing so well.

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.

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.

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。
