1
Oh, you look pretty tense little kitty.
2
What happened?
3
Exams start tomorrow.
4
Oh well, it means there will be peace for a while around the house.
5
Thanks to the person who invented the exams.
6
Who is it?
7
Well, I'm sure everyone is looking for that person person
8
so today let us end this mystery and reveal the identity of the person who invented exams
9
zoom in the word examination stands for a couple of things firstly it means to deeply observe inspect
10
or study a certain subject on the other hand examination refers to a formal test
11
where a person's knowledge and understanding or mastery of a particular subject is assessed.
12
It helps to qualify for a seat in an academic or government institution
13
or get promoted to the next grade in school or college.
14
But the vital question is, who felt the need to test people in the first place?
15
Well, it all started in the year 605 AD in ancient China,
16
where the Sui Dynasty developed a government-organized assessment test known as the Imperial Examination.
17
Its motto was to select candidates for government positions based on merit rather than birth order.
18
Once qualified, the candidates would then join a renowned group of government officials working under the leadership of Emperor Yang of Sui.
19
Later, the Tang Dynasty introduced the concept of Britain Examinations to
20
pick candidates led by Empress Wu Zitian who reformed the imperial system to allow candidates coming from humble backgrounds.
21
This method worked for many years until it was abolished by China in the year 1905.
22
Then after China,
23
the Britishers adopted the examination system in the year 1806 to assess the potential candidates to serve in Her Majesty's civil service.
24
Later in 1853,
25
the East India Company took this method to India for the selection of civil servants through competitive examinations regardless of race.
26
But the credit for the invention of modern day academic exam goes to a German-American businessman or professor, Henry Fischel.
27
The reason I say or is because there is no concrete evidence of his identity.
28
Yes, some sources claim him to be a businessman.
29
Whereas, some other sources say,
30
there was another person with the same name who was a professor of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at Indiana University.
31
So, according to some hazy historical sources,
32
one out of these two Henry Fishel took the review system and applied it to the Education Department.
33
In the late 19th century,
34
he created exams to demonstrate students' overall knowledge of subjects and test their capacity to use the acquired knowledge.
35
This technique quickly gained popularity among other teachers
36
and soon the concept of academic tests spread to other parts of the world
37
and became a crucial aspect of different educational systems.
38
Remember my friends, it is absolutely normal to feel a bit nervous about exams.
39
So, make sure to enjoy studying during exams, keep yourselves hydrated, eat a proper diet,
40
exercise a bit, take a break to play and if you have any difficulty understanding any concept,
41
come and watch the Dr. Binok show for more clarity.
42
Do whatever you can, but don't let exams stress you out.
43
Because there is so much more to do beyond the academic grades.
44
So, identify your natural talent, find your passion, and be ready to change the world.
45
Trivia time!
46
Did you know Michael Kearney is the youngest graduate in the world?
47
Yes, he received his bachelor's degree in anthropology in 1994 at the age of 10 from the University of South Alabama.
48
Hope you learned something fun today.
49
Until next time, it's me, Dr. Vinox, zooming out.
50
Oh, what are you doing, little kitty?
51
Kitty takes a little break.
52
Huh?
53
Never mind.

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。
