1
Art.
2
When we hear that word, some of our minds jump to museums or framed paintings, and in that context, some people think, nah, I'm not a big fan of art,
3
I just don't get it.
4
Or they think of art as something that's just for intellectuals or artsy people.
5
But really, art is for anyone who wants to experience it, and it's often in more places than we might realize.
6
Songs you like, movies you watch, poems, theater, even a quilt that your grandmother made all of that and more is art.
7
So you might be wondering, well, then what is art?
8
How do I define it?
9
Well, that's tough.
10
Art's been around for thousands of years, and through the ages it's evolved in a number of different ways.
11
And the reasons for creating it vary from person to person depending on any number of factors.
12
So defining art is pretty tricky, and it's something that's been debated throughout history.
13
There just isn't one agreed -upon definition.
14
However, However, many believe that art is anything that stirs emotion in you.
15
Now the emotions that get stirred up depend entirely on your own history, your story, everything that comes together to make up who you are.
16
And because of this, three different people can experience the same piece of art and have wildly different reactions to it.
17
One person might think it's the most beautiful thing they've ever seen, the second person might hate it, and the third might not feel much of anything at all.
18
And none of them would be wrong.
19
Everyone's entitled to their own preferences and feelings when it comes to art.
20
You know, the way you feel about your favorite song could be the same way
21
that someone else feels about their favorite sculpture.
22
And even though you might not like that sculpture, it can be valuable to consider why that person enjoys it so much.
23
You may learn something about them and maybe even yourself.
24
The term arts is really just a label.
25
Over the years a lot of people have tried to classify what it is or what it isn't, but that's not really what art is about.
26
It's about your personal experience with it and the meaning that you draw from it.
27
Everyone reacts to art differently and has the potential to grow and learn from it.
28
It gives us the opportunity to tell stories, record history, and tap into our emotions in a way that few other things can.

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。
