他在直播间里经常说看自己看电影美剧 (重复和积累 repition and accumlation)

你让他讲美剧《绝望的主妇》试试,看他直播间里有没有我这个的凝聚力。

天若有情天亦老,人间正道是沧桑。

在中国比我说英语好的人多得去了,做同声传译的也有不少人,人家不需要开直播就能过得很好,而他需要开直播圈钱,这只能证明一个问题:这人品不行,所以混到跟我这个草根讲师这里要人气。

他从事了上十年的10同声传译,还有两年英文培训师,他的发音和口语地道流利不足为奇,我们在场的任何一个人,让你们从事10多年的英文会话工作,都能说得很流利。但这并不代表他的英语学习方法有多高效。

First of all, he had beening working as an interpretor and English trainer for more than 10 years, it is no wounder that he can speak fluent english and his accent is great. But, Here’s the deal, any one of us could acheive English proficiency if we explose ourseleves in the English speaking enviorment for that period of time. Thererfore, I don’t think it does prove that he’s method is effective and sustainable. (I take it that his English fluency is mostly depended on his hands-on experience of being an English interpretor and coporate English trainner. )

And secondly, if you pay attention to his speech, he mentioned many times that he picked up English language through watching movies and TV-shows, which proves that what we’re doing is absolutely a pratical way of learning english. So, if you’re visionary and insightful enough, your English proficiency and accent fluency are solely depended on 2 conditions, a systematic approach which you can get it for free, in addition, your’ve got to put consistent effort in practising and applying every component of the language, all in all, We have to exercise our brain so as to make it adapt to more complicated and demanding tasks, I’m not an accent trainer, and truth to be told, it’s not my domain of expertise.

Thirdly, His course doesn’t limit the number of students, and there isn’t enough time for the students to interact with the teacher except 20 minutes Q & A section. Actually, in order to find out how excellent the teacher is, I did my homework, it turns out that his so-called exlusive trainning system which is to repeat and recite sentences doesn’t not seem promising to most of the audiences in my channel.

So, in conclusion, the majoy difference between this guy and me is that he is a little high and mighty according to his propaganda, and I’m nobody, I’m just a dedicated commentator for a specific TV-show, but I’m being realistic and I’m down-to-earth, I’ll always have time for my beloved iron fans in this channel, and I’m trying my best to bring about vuluable content for my audiences to consume, So if you enjoyed your time here, please support me.

Different strokes for different folks. My experience is that only a tiny-little part of the learners have the time and patience to recite and mimick the sentences that doesn’t have a dialogue context, the bottom line is, advancing your English level all comes down to keep yourself motivated, if you’re willing to plug away, you’ll find ways, if you not, you’ll find excuses.

直播《绝望的主妇》

In order to provide you guys with a guided tour, I spent one year dedicated myself in it, I just wanna prove you guys that just becuase it is completely free, doesn’t mean that I’m allowed to rush the peace and rough the content, because I know exactly what my job is, my job is to serve as a bridge to connect you guys with the most talented English language masters on this planet, to inspire you guys to witness language learning a whole new light, and to motivate you guys to reignite the passion of learning, and autimately, and my job is to create a platform which enables like-mined people to share, to interact and make friends with each other.

奥斯卡·王尔德格言警句:

直播间对于键盘侠的调停:

Just so we’re clear, the country has its systems of regulation, the platform has its guidelines of operation, the liver-streamer has his own style of hosting, and the audience has their judgmental criteria of values, aesthetics and a sense of belongingness.

国家有国家的管理体系、平台有平台的运营规则,主播有主播的主持风格,听众有听众的价值取向、审美偏好和归宿感的判断标准。

Now that the host, the platform, the country, all of the people of the world advocates peace and harmony, therefore, please try to fit in. Don’t assume nobody’s gonna jump down on your throat, so that you can do whatever you want.

If you like it here, please stay and enjoy the show, you’re at liberty to decide whether or not to give me thumbs up, to follow and forward this channel, if you feel like you wanna say something, you’re welcome to interact with me through the comment section or you can send me a request for a voice or video call if you like. But before you do that, please make sure your speech is valuable and presentable to my audience.

关于对本人直播价值的评估:

Because at the end of the day, when you start to look back on the past, you’ll form a judgement on the content that I shared, and the outcomes may differ dramatically. Some of you may appreciate the enormous effort that I put into this project,that I provided through my live-streaming, some may take it from granted that I’m supposed to provide unique insights, the inspirational ideas, the sentimental values , and some may think it’s not an enjoyable journey to take.

Our gift of exploring maximum potential has been quietly strangled by an invisiable chain, a chain that is forged with noble injustice, harmonious butchery and glaring conspiracy. Don’t you think we’re now too weak to climb up the high mountain and too timid to dive into the deep sea? In order to dream big, we have to breakthrough!

It is not that we Chinese people aren’t smart enough to figure out what’s get in our way, it is because we’re trapped into a cage for a long time, we lost our innate wildness and ultimately, our ambition.The sooner we breakthrough the cage, the better we come out as a sage.

不是我们中国人不够聪明,意识不到一些问题。而是很多老虎狮子一直被圈养在笼子里太久,失去了野性。破笼越早,成就越大。

“An individual human existence should be like a river —— small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.” (Bertrand Russell:How to grow old)

一个人的生命历程应像一条河——起初流势小,依附父母的呵护;随着年龄增长,羽翼日渐丰满,充满着激情和冒险精神,不计代价、不顾后果,闯荡社会;河水不断流伸,河面愈加宽阔,对人生有了新的感悟;最后与大海彻底地融为一体,自我便在毫无苦楚之中消失了。

Thank you very much for being straightfoward, I do have to admit it, there’s a lot of redundencies needed to streamlined, I myself can’t tolerate it as well. But I have to warn you this is not designed for someone, that’s quick-minded, or at an upper-intermediate level, it is tailor-maid for senior and serious leaners, someone that is at a pre-intermedite level, someone that is a little bit on the slow side. Anyway, this demo does not truly reflect who I’m, if you really wanna find hidden-treasure, you’ve got pay extra attention.

现实像个石头,精神像个蛋,石头虽然坚硬,可蛋才是生命。

关于买的书:销量特别火爆的书不买,资源整合的书不买,没有个人风格的书不买,被删节的书不买。

倾爱买:中国人写给老外看的书,未删节的经典英文原版书。
