跟读练习: Why Do We Forget Things? - 通过视频学习英语口语
正在创建课程...
1
Hey there, welcome to Life Noggin.
2
The brain is a pretty cool organ, but sometimes it can fail us, like when we forget someone's name or blank on a test.
3
But how can someone just forget something like that?
4
Well, to start off, I want you to imagine what a penny looks like.
5
You're probably imagining Abraham Lincoln looking off to the right and that the coin is copper.
6
But you probably didn't recall the phrase above the Lincoln Memorial on the back of the penny.
7
If you did, congrats.
8
But the reason we may have not remembered every single aspect of the coin is because, frankly, it doesn't matter.
9
All we need to know is how to distinguish a penny from any other coin
10
so we only remember the important parts and store them in our long-term memory.
11
All of the small details of any experience, like you watching this video for example, are combined into one event in your brain's hippocampus.
12
You are essentially a network of neurons that records the association linked to the memory.
13
And any of those associations, like hearing the name Blacko, can bring back that memory.
14
But problems arise when there is more than one memory associated with a given cue.
15
If you've ever met someone who looks like an old friend, it may be difficult to remember this new person's name, because that face already has some other meaning to you, and the memories are interfering with each other.
16
Decay theory states that a memory slowly fades over time if it's not rehearsed often.
17
So if you do not frequently think about something, you'll forget it.
18
It makes sense, but you also have to be paying attention in the first place
19
if you ever want to recall that information.
20
So what is something that you always forget?
21
Did.. did you forget it?
22
I'm terrible with birthdays, but luckily Facebook is there to save the day.
23
Speaking of which, if you want to, you can follow me on there.
24
As usual, I'll be answering a new question every Thursday, so ask anything you want to know in the comments or on Facebook and Twitter.
25
I'm Blocko, this has been Life Noggin, don't forget to keep on thinking.
背景与背景
在这段视频中，讲述者探讨了人类大脑的记忆机制，并解释了我们为什么会忘记事情。视频通过生动的例子，让我们意识到记忆的过程是如何工作的，包括我们如何存储重要信息以及遗忘的原因。这为我们在学习英语及其他语言时，理解记忆的运作提供了重要的背景信息。对于正在进行雅思口语练习的学习者来说，这段内容不仅有趣，而且切合实际，帮助他们认识到记忆与语言学习之间的关系。
日常交流中的五个常用短语
- 我想不起他的名字。 - 用于表达遗忘某人姓名的情况。
- 时间久了我就会忘记。 - 运用在谈论记忆衰退的情况。
- 我记得那件事，但细节不太清楚。 - 用于澄清记得某个事情，但细节模糊的情况。
- 我需要经常复习才能记住。 - 强调复习的重要性。
- 这让我想起了我的老朋友。 - 适合提及与某人相关联的回忆时使用。
逐步跟读指南
为提升你的英语口语能力，可以使用以下方法进行影子跟读练习，尤其是通过「英语影子跟读」或「shadow speech」的方式执行。这不仅能增强发音，还能帮助你记住重要的短语和表达：
- 听：首先，完整听一遍视频，关注讲述者的语调和情感表达。
- 慢速跟读：接下来，选择一小段音频，降低速度并尝试模仿讲述者的发音和语调。
- 重复跟读：从视频中提取短句，反复练习，确保掌握发音与语调。
- 记录进步：可以录音并与原视频对比，以了解自己的发音与表达上的差异。
- 实用练习：在日常对话中运用刚才学到的短语，增强记忆与反应力。
使用这种影子跟读的方法，可以显著提高你的英语表达能力，同时加深对记忆过程的理解，确保你在雅思考试或日常交流中，能够流利而自信地表达自己。记得多加练习，像我们在shadowing site上所提倡的，持续进行「shadowing」的过程将对你的进步至关重要。
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。
