proud of you, isabella

2006年底,我與isabella一起上詹sir的課。你被“雪藏”期間來到這個教室,帶著一份失落,卻無掩你與生俱來的魅力。你實在太討人喜愛,表演潛質更是不容置疑。

當時你跟我說想學好寫作,把腦袋所想的表達出來。我提議你多看書,多寫。
將來,我愿意成為你的讀者,因為你是個有靈性的女子。

你又跟我說想學好英文,我提議你找私人老師補習。

估不到事過不到兩年,我倆都選擇離開了原本的公司,選擇走自己的路,不再任人擺布。

今天看到這段youtube。



短短幾個月,英文進步這么多,真令人鼓舞。

我衷心祝福你在荷里活發展順利。

嘩....咦,留意她的捲 o利音和句子的連續發音,好係在外國果種 ABC feel 喎,而且重要既係,佢講英文係有【抑揚頓挫】既,係有『說話的語氣』,咁會港式英文喎。

勁,好嘢好嘢......

公道啲講,好多香港的大學生都無佢講得咁自然的,依沙 Leung 係抵讚。

A++++++++ <----讚

i am so impressed by her accent! and you can tell she was so confident when she talked. well done, isabella!

匿名 說...

content-wise, 無乜特別

其實呢,英文,肯講,就成功左一大半,我有同事,預科先過加拿大讀書,一開口就鬼妹仔口音,耳濡目染下,好易學到那種intonation

另外,聲線亦好重要,聲線清徹、瞭亮,講乜文都自然好聽些

在呢個快速、只求十秒鐘sound bite 的世紀,"Presentation" is king,是最容易吸引外界、公司管理層的不二途徑,是一眾打工仔女上位的秘訣,較少出聲、實幹型、不易顯露因而被錯誤認定沒有能力的,只有自求多福。

短短幾個月的結果﹐真是難得﹗

你知道她得罪了什麼人嗎?

Erica, eat your heart out. Bet you are so jealous of Isabella having a rich boyfriend and making Hollywood movies now. Guess what? With a ugly face of yours and a ugly heart to match, you are going nowhere but to those stupid shows in shopping mall where your die hard fans are gearing up with their cameras hoping to get a shot of your sagging face and tits!!

( 旺 猪 頂.'-* 說...

哇, 她 講 英 文 像 個 外 國 人! 好 厲 害! ( 雖 然 用 字 很 簡 單 )

雪山飛狐 說...

I didn't know she spent 2 years to get to this level. Honestly speaking, nothing special. When I read about this on CTM's blog I thought she spent half a year on a crash course or something. 2 years is all I take to learn Norwegian from nothing to fluent. Although I was actually living in Norway during that time.

Assuming she knows some English before your conversation with her and she concentrate on just English for the following 2 years and then this Youtube video. Then all I can give applause to is her determination.

Desertfox,

哈哈,你响度show off呀? =D
知你勁啦~~ =D
其實佢令我想起當年剛來美國,
好多人都讚自己講得好好,
但係我一D都唔開心。
因為自己知自己事,
仲有好多要改進。

This blog was written directed to Isabella on a personal level. I doubt she even reads your blog.

If you really wanted to wish her the best, why not e mail her or give her a call personally? I would assume the two of you are not even that close to begin with......I doubt you even have her phone number.

You wrote it because Isabella has successfully made it to Hollywood, and you wanted to take credit by telling everyone that YOU took part in HER success.

"當時你跟我說想學好寫作,把腦袋所想的表達出來。我提議你多看書,多寫。

我提議你
我提議你
我提議你
我提議你

我提議你

So she now has some success in her career, you are taking credit for it. Erica Erica Erica....how shallow. From the sound of it, I thought you were her personal mentor?

"Hey! Look at me! Someone is successful because I gave her advice ONCE! 1 point for me! 1 POINT!"

雪山飛狐 說...

Snowy,
No intention to show off. Just wanted to point out the fact that anyone can do that. You did it, I did it and I am sure plenty of immigrants have done it.

For Isabella, with such a huge motivation pushing her (being able to act in Hollywood), it adds another reason to her language success.

I used to be make fun of everyday. You know how little boys are. Looking for people to make fun of. This happened to me twice. Once when I was trying to learn Norwegian and once when I was trying to learn English. To be able to speak my mind out without being made fun of was my motivation to learn the language well.

佢都係因為有呢個碼頭先學英文
佢都係想拍西片
佢都係想做上等人
一個女人有目標就會咁做
冇咩咁大不了

匿名 說...

Her English actually reminds me of Kate Tsui's.

Both are very forcefully (almost unnaturally... esp Kate's) American-accented and annunciated, with heavy emphasis on the 'er' sound at the end of her words, and dramatic intonation.

Isabella's English is probably an ILR Level 2~3 (A native speaker is Level 5).

But as a previous poster said: 英文,肯講,就成功左一大半.

Good on her.
