Yesterday in class, as we were discussing the different goals and strategies for this year, some of your classmates suggested shadowing as a nice way to start working effectively on listening, speaking, and pronunciation, all at once! I thought that was an awesome idea, so... here's my proposal: listen to Patch Adams, an American physician, social activist, clown, and author who has some really interesting ideas to share with us about living in a healthy world. Just listen to him talking, and repeat his very own words immediately (so that you become his shadow). You should do this as you stand up or even walk around, trying to put the same energy as he does in your speech. Please, don't do this for more than 1-2 minutes, we should start doing this little by little to avoid frustration, ok? Ah! Thanks a lot, David and Marisa, for explaining this technique to all of us!
"I want a world where no one alive can remember what the word war means..."
I only knew him by the film Patch Adams, great clown and wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteThat's right! He became famous too because of that movie. Glad you liked his ideas! And now he can also help us with our English :)
