This is a technique known as 'shadowing' that I learnt in Japanese class, which I find tremendously helpful for short-term oral fluency improvement.

我在上日語課的時候?qū)W過一種叫“影子跟讀”的方法，感覺對短時間內(nèi)提高口語流利程度非常有幫助。

Watch your favorite English language TV show or movie, and as the characters speak, repeat loudly the exact words they are saying the moment you hear them. In other words, 'shadow' their dialog in real-time. Don't worry about getting every word or sound right - focus on listening carefully, moving along quickly and keeping pace. After the movie ends, repeat the exact same movie and do it again. And again.

看你最喜歡的英語電視節(jié)目或電影，在聽到里面人物說話的同時，大聲重復他們所說的每一個單詞。換句話說，就是要實時“追蹤”他們的對話。不要擔心能不能聽懂或讀對每個單詞——集中注意力認真聽，快速跟讀并保持節(jié)奏。電影結(jié)束以后，再一遍一遍重播跟讀。

By forcing yourself to speak at native speed, your brain becomes hyper-receptive to what you are hearing, and you will find yourself not only picking up the words quicker and quicker, but also unconsciously mimicking the inflections and vocal nuances that are usually difficult to learn for a non-native. It will also fix the stammer that comes with uncertainty or lack of confidence. In this way, the actors in the movie become your speaking partners.

通過強迫自己跟上母語者的語速，你的大腦會變得更容易接收你所聽到的內(nèi)容，而且你會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己不僅識別單詞越來越快，還無意中模仿了語音和語調(diào)，而這些通常是非母語者很難學會的。這也有助于糾正你因為不確定或缺乏自信而導致的口吃。通過這種方法，影片中的演員也可以成為你的口語搭檔。

This will be perfect practice just before your interview. Look for some interview practice videos on YouTube, then shadow the entire conversation. Practice the same dialogs again and again. You will be amazed how that will improve not only your speaking, but also your ability to actively listen and react. Best of luck.

這個方法最適合在你面試前進行練習。在YouTube上搜一些面試練習的視頻，影子跟讀整個對話。反復練習同一個對話。你會驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)，這樣做不僅會提高你的口語，還會提高你主動傾聽和反應(yīng)的能力。祝好運。
