A man ties two tree vines around his ankles.
20
He then climbs a wooden tower around 20 to 30 metres high, crosses his arms and jumps head first.

The goal is to touch the earth with the top of his head, without breaking the vines or hitting the ground hard.
22
Every spring, local boys and men still perform this amazing test of bravery.
23
Women are not allowed to dive, but they support the divers by dancing and singing at the bottom of the tower.
24
Many tourists come to the island every year to watch this ancient tradition.

- 第一步：观看视频，注意讲者的语速和发音，理解火山冲浪和陆地跳水的具体细节。

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。
