This morning we continue our series Brain Health from Awareness to Action in partnership with our sponsor the Alzheimer's Association.
2
All week we've been showing you science backed lifestyle choices that may help reduce your risk of dementia.
3
For our final conversation I spoke with Alzheimer's Association President and CEO Joanne Pike about the organization's Rethink Your Brain Challenge,
4
including the importance of challenging your mind.
5
MIND.
6
SO JOANNE, I LOVE THIS TOPIC.
7
TELL US ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO CHALLENGE YOUR MIND AND WHAT DOES RESEARCH SHOW?
8
THE ALZHEMERS ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN LEADING RESEARCH ON BRAIN HEALTH FOR DECADES AT THIS POINT.
9
AND WHAT WE'VE LEARNED EVEN IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS IS THAT SIMPLE ACTIONS THAT YOU CAN TAKE,
10
WHETHER NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY OR CHALLENGING YOUR MIND CAN IMPACT YOUR BRAIN HEALTH.
11
CHALLENGING YOUR MIND AS PART OF THAT IS A GREAT WAY OF STIMULATING YOUR BRAIN AND learning new things.
12
It builds a cognitive reserve so that when you are aging you have a bank of brain health to rely on.
13
So what does it mean to challenge your mind?
14
I mean people talk about doing crossword puzzles as a way to to keep their mind sharp or sudoku,
15
sudoku, however you say it.
16
Is that what you're talking about?
17
That is certainly a game that you can play but we're thinking more about strategy games.
18
Things that are not routine or rote.
19
So we want to do things that you have to THEIR something new
20
or engage in that in a new way
21
that could be like chess where you have a partner
22
and you have to take actions based on their actions
23
or think that through learning a new instrument is also a brain challenge there are multiple ways
24
that you can think about it the key step is to learn and for it to be novel or new
25
You also stress the importance of social connection.
26
How can that impact your brain?
27
We know based on science that individuals who are isolated have a 70% greater risk of cognitive decline.
28
A big piece of our rethink your brain challenge is around that brain activation.
29
And so rethinking your mind is a key piece to that,
30
not just in brain challenges,
31
but also in creating greater social connection.
32
I love that.
33
What do you do to try to keep your brain sharp?
34
That's a great question.
35
Earlier this year I was working on my conversational Spanish
36
but I'm a big reader
37
so I as a public health professional I have a tendency to think about reading
38
that is outside of what I already know
39
so maybe a biography about someone who I don't know
40
or something related to history that I'm not aware of so that I'm really learning something new as I'm doing something enjoyable.
41
Learning is the key.
42
Joanne Pike, muchísimas gracias.

为何要通过这个视频练习口语？
通过观看此视频，学习者可以在轻松的环境中提高自己的口语能力。视频讨论了挑战大脑保持健康的重要性，这不仅仅是一个有趣的话题，更是与日常生活息息相关的内容。看YouTube学英语可以帮助学习者在理解复杂信息的同时练习口语表达，增强对新知识的掌握。通过英语影子跟读，学习者能够更好地模仿发音和语调，提高自己的流利度。
语法与表达的背景
视频中的演讲包含了多种语法结构和表达方式。以下是几个关键的应用示例：
- What does it mean to challenge your mind? - 这种问句结构可以用于引入话题。
- Individuals who are isolated have a 70% greater risk of cognitive decline. - 这句中包含了定语从句，可以帮助学习者理解如何使用复杂句子描述研究结果。
- Learning is the key. - 简单而有力的句子强调了学习的重要性，适合在雅思口语练习中使用，传达直接的信息。
常见发音陷阱
在视频中，某些词汇的发音可能会对学习者构成挑战。例如，“cognitive”和“decline”这两个词在不同的口音中可能会有不同的发音。此外，对于“不规则动词”的使用虽然常见，但发音时尚需注意。例如“learned”的发音，在美式和英式英语中有所不同。使用shadowspeaks的方式进行模仿练习能够有效改善发音上的不足。
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。
