跟读练习: How I Cleared My Acne - 通过视频学习英语口语

today i want to tell a story about arguably the worst period of my life a period where severe depression

and social anxiety controlled me and it was all

because of a little thing called acne okay

so let me take you through the journey of how my

skin went from looking pretty good to it going absolutely out of control

and what i did to sort that and regain my confidence again

And the best way to tell this story is to go from the very start

So growing up my skin was always on

and off in general it wasn't great But it was never that bad where I'd think about it much.

I didn't really care now about a year ago My skin was looking pretty decent still the odd spot here

and there But it looked good at this point in my life.

I was the best looking i'd ever been and my confidence levels were really high

uh and this is where things went downhill at the start of july 2022 i got

so obsessive with how i looked i was

so addicted to trying to be more attractive and i don't know

if this was the reason or the blazing hot heat

that summer but my skin started to flare up a bit the acne was getting a little worse

and i couldn't stand this even though the acne genuinely wasn't

that bad because i was

so obsessed with how i looked i would go to any lengths to fix this

so i went online

and tried to find the the most powerful the most extreme acne cure there is

and many options came up skin care routines acidic products medication there was tons to choose from

but one one product stood out from the rest this was the product it's a drug called isotretinoin

or better known by the public as accutane last september a

new drug was released for use in the united states it's one of the most effective medications for acne

but there are some risks after taking the medication he took

his own life he hung himself the drug is called accutane

this is one of the most controversial drugs to date the

side effects on this are endless dry lips dry skin joint pain nose bleeds

but the more serious one accutane is linked to severe depression

many people have taken their lives on this drug suicidal thoughts are common and

while this is a very controversial topic one thing is for

certain my acne was no way near extreme enough to even consider this

but as i said earlier i was

so obsessive with how i looked i didn't listen to any of this

and got myself prescribed on it okay here we go my accutane journey starts

today little did i know things were about to get much worse

as the weeks went on i noticed the classic dry lips dry skin

but there was one side effect

which was really getting to me i've been on accutane for

three weeks i think my skin has broken out a bit

uh that's normal apparently this is called the purging stage it's where your skin gets worse before it gets better

and this really affected me as the weeks were going on my skin was getting worse

and worse i had never in my life seen it this bad

and it really started affecting my mental health today's the 5th of august

and today's been one of the worst days of my life

thing is i've never had mental health problems ever in my

life i've always been a happy full of life guy

so this this was a weird feeling for me this fucking fucking hate how i look

this video i took here captioned it's time to end this nightmare was taken on the 18th of august

so it'd been about two months since i first took

that accutane pill at this point my acne was out control my mental health was on the rocks

so i made the decision to quit accutane this made me

feel a sense of relief i felt happier again maybe my

skin would go back to just being like kind of crap

and i could deal with

that i was excited for the future i was excited to end this nightmare as i said

and go back to being happy but unfortunately

that didn't go to plan in fact the complete opposite happened

after i came off ancutane my skin just got even worse

cystic acne started forming on my neck big spots on my face

and my mental health was still in the gutter

so i had a decision to make i could carry on waiting out

and just hope things got better over time

or i could use the drug

which started this nightmare in the first place a drug which potentially was my only option to end the nightmare.

I chose the latter.

I just said to myself it can't get any worse than this so fk it.

So on the 7th of October 2022 I restarted my Accutane it's 7th of october 2022

i hope that i can watch this video next year

and i won't have horrible skin

which destroys all self -confidence the starting point wasn't great

but i was ready i was ready for the next six

seven months to be tough i was not going to enjoy it

but i knew

if i committed then i'd hopefully get my confidence back one

week on accutane every week i would take progress videos of

my acne two weeks of agitating three weeks four weeks five

weeks six weeks seven weeks eight nine weeks finally as time was going on my acne was actually improving

and i want to update you i feel fucking awesome i'll be honest my skin isn't fully cleared

but the fact

that it's getting better it's just the best feeling in the

world my general mood my life my outlook on the days were improving i started feeling happier again

and it was simply

because i felt more confident again 19 weeks of acutane 20

weeks 21 weeks 22 weeks 24 25 weeks 26 weeks my

skin was genuinely becoming clear again it was the best it had ever looked

and after 33 weeks on this drug my skin completely transformed

and i'm happy to say i'm now acne free today's the 5th of august

and today's been one of the worst days of my life

I'm a lot happier now I'll be completely honest I still have a bit of the odd scarring

but I am so much more confident I'm enjoying life again it was a very tough journey

but I'm glad I went through it and the question

which I'm sure a lot of you are wondering is do

I recommend Accutane you know it took me through some of the worst

and the best times of my life

so I have very mixed opinions on it i personally am very happy

that i did it in the end

100

but i'm really not qualified enough to give my opinion on

101

such a controversial drug speak to your dermatologist get their opinions

102

and if they give you the green light then i'd say do it but with caution

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。
