I'll give you an example.
3
There's a big chain of pharmacies, chemists in the U .S called CVS.
4
A lot of you probably know it.
5

6
And at some point, at the end of all of these meetings, there was this uncomfortable moment when one of the doctors in the meeting would ask the question,
7
don't you sell cigarettes in your shops and here they have a purpose statement
8
that says we care about the health of our customers that's why we're in business
9
and so they went back to the drawing board
10
and they said you know
11
if we really care about our purpose we should remove cigarettes from our shops
12
and they did they pulled cigarettes
13
and they this was billions of dollars worth of revenues not millions billions they literally just axed them
14
and wall street went nuts how can you do this?
15
All that business is going to go somewhere else, etc., etc. Turned out the business didn't go other places.

18
Yes, their stock plummeted for a short period only because Wall Street punished them.

Now you look at their competition, you know, Walgreens and Boots, they have the same purpose statement, and yet they didn't make the same decision.

24

25

為何這個影片是絕佳的口語練習素材？
這段影片不僅有真實的商業案例，語言表達也非常貼近日常交流，特別適合用來練習看影片學英語。裡面的句子長短適中，包含了自然的停頓和連讀，能幫助學習者熟悉母語者的說話節奏。比如提到企業決策時的用詞，既有專業術語又有口語化表達，對於準備雅思口語練習的同學來說，是很好的素材補充。
拆解自然表達，學習地道口語
我們來看看影片裡的幾個句子，為何它們聽起來如此自然：
- “they went back to the drawing board”：字面意思是“回到繪圖板”，實際表示“重新考慮”，這種習語的使用讓表達更生動，避免了生硬的直譯。
- “Wall Street went nuts”：“nuts”在這裡是“發狂”的意思，口語中常用它來代替“angry”或“crazy”，更符合日常對話的感覺。
- “the business didn't go other places”：沒有用複雜的句式，而是用簡單的“go other places”來表達“業務沒有流失”，簡潔又易懂，體現了母語者的表達習慣。
這些句子的共同點是用詞簡潔、習語豐富，非常適合用來練習shadow speech，提升口語的流暢度。
簡單有效的影子跟讀法練習步驟
想要用好這個影片，試試這個shadowing site常用的練習方法：
- 先完整看一遍影片，理解內容大意，注意說話人的語氣和停頓。
- 逐句播放，每句暫停後跟著重複，儘量模仿發音、語調甚至表情，這能有效提高英語發音。
- 用手機錄下自己的跟讀，然後和原影片對比，找出節奏、重音等方面的差異，反覆練習。
- 每天花15分鐘，堅持一週，你會發現自己的口語越來越自然。
記住，練習貴在堅持，哪怕每天進步一點點，也是很大的收穫。快來試試吧，你一定能感受到自己的變化！
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。
