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.

背景与上下文
在这个英语学习课程中，老师Lucy带领学生们通过一种称为“影子跟读”（shadowing）的方法来提高他们的发音和口语能力。影子跟读是一种重复的练习技巧，可以帮助学生在说英语时变得更加自然。在这个视频中，Lucy将与大家分享一些有趣的故事，同时教导如何有效进行影子跟读。通过这种方法，学生可以模仿说话者的语调和语速，提高自己的英语交流能力，非常适合那些想要提升雅思口语练习的学习者。
日常交流的五个常用短语
- Will and I - 「威尔和我」
- thump above our heads - 「头顶上有咚的一声」
- speak along with me - 「和我一起说」
- improve your pronunciation - 「提高你的发音」
- mimicking the pronunciation - 「模仿发音」
这些短语在日常交流中非常实用，学生们可以通过影子跟读来练习这些短语的发音，并增加词汇量，便于在实际对话中应用。
逐步影子跟读指南
要掌握影子跟读的方法，可以参考以下步骤来应对这个视频的练习：
- 认真聆听：首先，仔细听Lucy的发音和语调，尽量理解每句话的意思。
- 注意细节：关注发音中使用的弱读音，例如她在说“Will and I”时的轻音。
- 跟随发音：在她开始说话时，立刻与之同步发声，尽量减少延迟。这不仅能提高你的口语，还能帮助你更好地掌握发音技巧。
- 重复练习：进行多次练习，尝试使用不同的音频材料来强化影子跟读效果，可以选择看YouTube学英语的相关内容。
- 检查发音：根据PDF中的词汇表，核对和纠正自己的发音，确保你能准确模仿说话者的声音。
通过这种系统的影子跟读练习，学生们不仅能提升英语口语能力，还能更自信地与他人交流，从而在学习旅程中获得更多乐趣和成就感。无论你是刚开始学习英语，还是希望提高发音和口语能力的学生，影子跟读都是一个非常有效的练习方法。
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。
