I hope the shadowing exercise is going well with you. By now you already know what it is and how to add a twist to it. It’s time to up the ante again.
Previously, you have been instructed to match the speaker word for word with a time lag. Now, instead of repeating, paraphrase! Use your own words, simplify, elaborate, or reorganize to your heart’s content. Again, do it in the same language, preferably one that you are more comfortable with. This modification adds the complexity of speech organization, which is one step closer to the whole deal.
