Intensive Shadow Speaking Practice methods

Listen/Whisper

Listen/Repeat

Listen/ Shadow Read

Try anything else you this will be helpful

Listen/Record 

I used all the methods. Listened first and then just repeated reading untill I can speak the sentence naturally. Recording helped me check how my intensive shadow speaking practice is going on.

I chosen the Ted Talk by Susan Cain - The power of introverts. It is one of quit difficult speeches to practice speaking. But I think the more difficult, the more helpful - of course, with the harder.

Through this practice, we can improve our English pronunciaion and reading skill. We can also get to feel more confortable in English conversation.

I would like to practice other speeches. :)

This movie is 'Step Up 2'.

 

 

 

M : Chase, he's a ladies' man.

A : He's a player?

M : Like an all-star. He's only recently taken the jersey out of retirement. So be warned. Oh, and that's Cyborg Sophie. She's an MSA machine and Collins' crowning achievement. She's a triple threat. She acts, sings and dances. She won every competition out there. But she just lost the biggest battle of them all, the one for Chase's heart.

Think about how to study effectively in a study group

Study Groups - The Secret to Success





They are talking about good things of study group.

I totally agree with them.

There are many knid of ways to study. No sitting and reading a book is only to study.

Many people have different ideas and ways they study.

Study group can help us be more interested in studying. Every day, we can do several activities to study and share information each other and learn something respectable from others.

People in a study group should be enthusiastic to learn something and like people.

Then, the study group will be progressed perfectly.
