1
Let's talk about how I became a full-time artist while I refill my fountain pen.
2
My friend sent me her favorite burgundy inks
3
but this one has already been filled with turquoise so I want to clean it real fast.
4
Growing up I was always really into art and making things
5
and crafting but throughout middle school and high school I actually never really took any art classes.
6
I think I was just really lost on who I was
7
and then during my senior year of high school I had this epiphany.
8
I wanted to be an artist.
9
I didn't know what kind of artist, but I just knew that's what I wanted to do.
10
I applied to my local university for graphic design.
11
I live in Denver, Colorado, so it was not very competitive at all.
12
It was also a very affordable university.
13
I did not care about prestige.
14
I just wanted education.
15
It was there in graphic design school that I really discovered my love of design and art and, most importantly, storytelling.
16
I think my program did a really good job at teaching
17
me the merits of graphic design in terms of marketing and branding and selling a product.
18
So during my second year of college in 2020, the pandemic happened of course.
19
My parents were really struggling with money back then so I was thinking of ways that I could ease their load.
20
I saw a ton of people online sculpting with polymer clay
21
and polymer clay was actually my favorite medium when I was a kid.
22
It felt like fate.
23
I started my business called Uncomfy Studio.
24
I started posting online and that's kind of how I got my start on my career.
25
Over the years, my brand
26
and my art has really just become a love letter to my inner child
27
because I know what it's like to not believe in yourself and I just want you to believe in yourself too.
28
Thanks for listening.

练习技巧
在观看这段视频时,建议学习者使用shadow speak和shadowspeaks的技巧进行练习。您可以尝试关闭字幕,先专注于听视频中的内容,然后反复听同一句话,模仿其语调和节奏。由于视频的节奏相对轻松,适合语言学习者进行要求较高的看YouTube学英语的练习。为了更好地掌握这些表达,您可以先读出这些关键词汇与短语,然后与视频中的对话进行对比,检查自己的发音和语调是否一致。
此外,当您感到自信时,可以尝试分段复述视频内容,逐渐建立自己的故事叙述能力。这种练习不仅能帮助您提高口语表达技巧,还能在雅思口语练习中帮助您更流利地谈论个人经历与想法。记住,练习的关键在于多听多说,鼓励自己相信自己的能力!
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。
