1
Today I'm taking myself out on a date.
2
Honestly, I haven't gone outside for a while because sometimes I just don't see the point in going out alone,
3
but I think going on a solo date is a good way to reconnect with yourself
4
and learn how to be happy in your own company.
5
A solo date can be anything, whether that's trying something new or doing something you know you love to do.
6
For me, I love to go to my favorite bookstores, walk around town, and treat myself to a nice meal.
7
Sometimes it does get lonely living without any friends, especially when I see groups of people hanging out together and having fun,
8
but when I really think about it, being alone is true freedom.
9
I can still do everything I want by myself, and I don't have to consider other people's schedules or when they have time to hang out.
10
I don't have to consider what the other person wants to do.
11
I can just do anything I want without hesitation.
12
And most importantly, I don't have to feel scared of doing things alone.
13
When I was in high school I never even once ate at the cafeteria
14
because I was so scared and I didn't know how to do it
15
and There was nobody there to go with me to get food
16
So a lot of the times I didn't ever eat at school
17
or I just brought something I could find from home Now when I think back on that time, I feel like I was being kind of silly
18
because there's no need to feel scared of doing things alone
19
and there's no need to feel embarrassed or ashamed
20
if I don't have anyone to hang out with or do things with because in the end,
21
thinking this way can only hurt me and hold me back from enjoying life to the fullest.
22
I already spend most of my time alone anyway,
23
but most of that time is me working or trying to be as productive as possible and get so many things done.
24
But I rarely have days where I can just relax and do whatever I want to do.
25
So this has been a really good experience for me.
26
Honestly, even just walking around in a bookstore already made me feel super happy.

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。
