137
For the first time, he felt proud.
138
One day he held an egg in his hand and told his grandson,
139
This egg is more powerful than a jar of money.

even small, it becomes bigger.

This was his greatest lesson.
154
And today, I share this with you.

Never only save money.

Invest.
157
Grow.
158
Even a small start can change your life.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
