1
In 160 seconds, you will decide how this story ends.
2
This is a story about us, the indoor generation.
3
A generation that spends 90% of its life indoors.
4
It all started the day we left nature behind.
5
We filled our homes with lovely things and all the stuff we wanted.
6
Our homes became places you would never want to leave.
7
Artificial light replaced daylight.
8
And we built our houses so that nothing could escape.
9
We cooked and showered, breathed and played, slept and sweated.
10
But we had closed ourselves in to a point where nothing could get out.
11
So when the air turned bad inside,
12
we tried fixing it with chemicals.
13
And we put in little artificial suns everywhere to make the darkness variable.
14
That's when things started to happen.
15
Hard to notice in the beginning.
16
Some needed help. To sleep. To breathe.
17
To not itch.
18
Many of us even started to feel sad.
19
So we turned on happy lamps to make the sadness go away.
20
Then, scientists discovered that the air inside our homes is up to five times more polluted than the air outside,
21
and that the lack of daylight can affect children's learning and increase blood pressure.
22
It turns out that kids' rooms often have the highest concentration of toxicants in the house.
23
In fact, millions of homes are unhealthy to live in.
24
They discovered that living in damp and moldy homes increases the risk of asthma by 40%.
25
And I learned that millions of people like me suffer from asthma and allergies caused by a bad indoor environment.
26
And so, here we are.
27
How this story ends is up to you,
28
because it's not written yet.
29
If you care about the indoor generation, do something.
30
Begin to think and live differently.
31
Let light and fresh air into your life again.
32
Even small changes can make a huge difference for coming generations.

練習技巧
進行英語口語練習時,建議使用shadowing技巧,特別是對於這段影片的語速和語調。首先,嘗試慢慢跟讀影片中的內容,注意每一個單詞的發音和重音。由於影片描繪了一個瑣碎而富有敘事性的故事,你可以在快速和緩慢的語速之間進行切換,幫助你更好地掌握語言的節奏。
在練習時,嘗試模仿影片中說話者的語氣和情感,這樣不僅能幫助你提高發音的準確性,還能提升你對語言的理解力。你可以在合適的時機停頓,重複說話者的句子,利用shadowspeaks工具,將你記錄的聲音與影片進行對比,觀察自己的進步。這種方法能非常有效地提高你的shadow speak技巧。
無論是通過shadowing site進行線上練習,還是與學習夥伴一起反覆練習,精確地捕捉每一個細節,都會對你的英語口語能力產生顯著的積極影響。
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。
