Shadowing
I'd like to say something that I learnt about English speaking. Chinese people such as like me( :p ) always pay more attention on pronunciation but we have problems with the ACCENT. I believe that accent is the thing we need to learn from and imitate from the native English speakers.
(其实中国人的发音比很多东南亚国家或者欧洲国家的居民要好的多，但却在语言表达上很吃亏，因为我们的语音语调分句都做的不好。书面来讲就是真正的抑扬顿挫。)
If you really want to pronounce your English perfectly by yourself at home, the most effective approach is imitation. I have been imitating some TV plays for one year. This method is also called SHADOWING. You listen to some English, and you repeat it at the same time. Make sure that you're listening and you're repeating at the SAME time.This does several things for you. The first thing that it does for you is it trains your ear to listen very very carefully to the way that things are said, to the tone and the rhythm in which phrases are said, and the length and the number of pauses that are used in speech. The second thing that it will do is it will really improve your pronunciation and your accent. It will also get your mouth muscle moving in the correct way and it will train you to move your mouth properly when you are speaking.

It is also an occasion for each athletes to show their strength and skills. The first Asian Games were held in New Delhi, India in 1951. Time by time, more and more sports have been introduced and added in the next Asian Games. More and more sportmen become outstanding, more and more gold medals are won. Some new records were got, and some old records were broken. Vietnam Sports Team took part in this event with great enthusiasm. They tried their best and came home with some medals. I hope in the future, Vietnam will become a host country and receive more medals in a variety of sports events.February 10, 201520
- Love of high school student Today, our teacher asked us "Do you think you can be in love at this age?" (I'm 17). There are a lot of ideas. A boy said "yes, because it's natural". Another said "yes, because it is the most beautiful age, and the love is pure, very memorable". But there are also opposite ideas "But we have to study, and we shouldn't waste our time" or "you can fail the exam". Finally, the topic ended with a girl's answer "In my opinion, love has 2 aspects. If you love someone, you can help each other in study, it's good for you. But if you spend so much time on your love, it's not good. And when the love break up, it hurts each other. It's hard to start again". So, how do you think about it? :)February 3, 201520
- How did I come to English? Hello everybody. Now I am telling my story "How did I come to English?" A long time ago, when I was a child, I went to school and played with my friends day by day. Oneday, a new young teacher came to my school. She taught us English. The girl was very pretty with long hair and dimpled cheeks. Her lessons was very attractive. Then I loved learning English. It came to me naturally. But 1 year later, my family moved to Hanoi. I continued learning English with new friends, new teachers, but I didn't love it as before. I didn’t the way the teacher taught us, very jejune. And I just learned enough to pass the exam. Time went by. I seemed losing my love in English. Until I was in grade 11, it came back to me. My new teacher taught us in a different way. She told us many interesting stories, and English how is interesting. We have studied like outing since that time. She inspired to me. And now, I’m trying to study hard. It’s the reason I’m here. And you, can you tell me your story? :)January 29, 201550
