一个人怎么样才可以进步呢?有的人说多看书,有的人说多和聪明的人交流,但是我觉得一个人应该多做事。如果做错了,改正了以后就能进步。进步就是一个人变得更好。怎么样可以变得更好呢?就是改了自己不好的地方。你又怎么样知道自己不好的地方在哪儿呢?一个方法是问别人,另一个方法就是多做多错。当你做错了以后,你当然就知道自己不好的地方在哪儿了。

Step One
Watch the video here on the course platform. Feel free to take as much time as you'd like to understand the content, but don't feel obligated to understand the text right now fully. You'll download the video and return to it later.
Step Two
Download the zip file from the sidebar (desktop/laptop) or below this description (Mobile APP). That zip file contains the following:
Dialogues contain one text-tracking video file at 80% speed followed by native speed.
Opinions & Short Stories contain two text tracking video files, one female voice, and one male voice. Both start at 80% speed, followed by native speed.
Step Three
At a time of your choosing, use the video files to practice shadowing. If you need a reminder, this lesson explains how to shadow. These video files are ideal for shadowing, especially if you download them to your phone because you can walk around while doing it.
