Hello, welcome to 6 Minute English.
4
I'm Neil.
5
And hello, I'm Rob.
6
Today we're discussing music and the idea that songs are becoming faster.
7
What music do you like, Rob?
8
Oh, me.
9
I like rock music.
10
It has good vocals and it's loud.
11
How about you, Neil?
12
Well, I like anything and I prefer streaming my music actually.
13
No old fashioned CDs to buy and load up.
14
It's easier to play and you can play it anywhere.
15
And streaming is where you listen or watch music or videos directly from the internet as a continuous stream.
16
Did you know that some people believe
17
that streaming music online is actually changing the songs people write and it might be leading to songs getting faster?
18
Well, that's what we're discussing today.
19
Let's hope it doesn't happen to this programme, otherwise we might become three-minute English.
20
But before it does, let's get on with our question for everyone to answer.
21
In 2017, Luis Fonzi's summer hit Despacito officially became the most streamed song of all time.
22
Do you know approximately how many times it was streamed?
23
Was it a 1.6 billion times, b 3.6 billion times, or c 4.6 billion times?
24
I know the song was popular but 4.6 billion sounds too big so I'll go for A, 1.6 billion.
25
OK, well we'll find out later in the programme.
26
But now back to our discussion about how music producers are adapting their songs for modern technology.
27
Researchers have found long instrumental introductions to pop songs have become almost extinct.
28
Of course the aim of many pop songs is to be enjoyed by many, to be popular.
29
But they also need to be a commercial success.
30
They need to make money.
31
Brendan Williams, a music producer and Professor of Music Technology, can explain what he thinks influences the songs.
32
Here he is speaking on BBC Radio 4's You and Yours programme.
33
I think that, you know, one of the things that's driving this, er, there are a number of things.
34
They're all radio, er, they're all singles designed for radio playlists.
35
Radio playlists are extremely important factors in judging the success of a track
36
and obviously do feed into the kind of commercial success of a track.
37
So, he mentions that radio playlists are important factors.
38
A playlist is a list of songs that a radio station plans to play.
39
And he says that radio playlists affect the commercial success of a song.
40
By the way, he called a song a track – that's a recorded piece of music.
41
And notice how he used the word driving, which means having a strong influence.
42
So getting a song played on the radio is important
43
and it has to be made in a way that will suit the radio station's playlist.
44
Now, we know there are thousands of songs out there to listen to and plenty of ways to listen to them, so how can record companies get someone to listen to their particular song?
45
Well, have a listen to Brendan Williams again to see what he thinks.
46
But then there's the influence of streaming services like Spotify, where if a track isn't played for at least 30 seconds then it doesn't register a play. And Spotify...
47
And if we don't hear the vocals then we might not carry on listening, is that the theory?
48
Brendan Williams Absolutely yeah, that's the theory, is to get through, I guess to get into the meat of the song, to hear the lyrical content and get through to that first chorus.
49
Well, it seems songs no longer have an intro, the instrumental piece of music that's played before the singing begins.
50
In the old days, radio DJs, disc jockeys who played the records, loved to talk over that bit.
51
Now we need to get to the lyrical content – that's the lyrics, or the words of the song, as soon as possible.
52
So the theory, or idea, is to present listeners with vocals and a chorus more quickly as it will make them want to continue listening.
53
That's because if a song isn't streamed for more than 30 seconds, it doesn't register a play.
54
It doesn't get measured or recorded as a play.
55
So it doesn't make money.
56
So a song needs to hook the listener in quickly.
57
In other words, it needs to attract their attention and be easy to remember.
58
Another word for this is catchy.
59
Do you have any favourite catchy songs, Rob?
60
Oh, I do, I do.
61
It's got to be Happy by Pharrell Williams.
62
Very catchy song.
63
Well, something that is always catchy in this programme is our quiz question.
64
Earlier I mentioned that in 2017 Luis Fonzi's summer hit, Despacito, officially became the most streamed song of all time.
65
Did you know approximately how many times it was streamed?
66
Was it a 1.6 billion times, b 3.6 billion times, or c 4.6 billion times?
67
And I went for a staggering 1.6 billion times.
68
Well, it's not staggering enough, Rob.
69
It was actually streamed 4.6 billion times.
70
Amazing.
71
That's a number that we can only dream of for this programme.
72
Or is it?
73
Well, Neil, shall we download to our memory some of the vocabulary we've learnt today?
74
Streaming describes the activity of listening to or watching music, radio or videos directly from the internet as a continuous stream.
75
Something that is a commercial success is popular and makes lots of money, like a new computer game or pop song.
76
A good pop song, Rob.
77
Not something annoying like Gangnam Style.
78
Ah, well that was a huge commercial success because it was catchy, a word that describes something that attracts attention and is easy to remember.
79
We also mentioned a playlist – that's a list of songs
80
that a radio station plans to play –
81
and we also used the same word – playlist – to
82
describe a list of songs you compile yourself on a streaming service.
83
We also heard the adjective driving, which in the context of our discussion means having a strong influence.
84
And we mentioned the verb to register – if you register something, you record, count or measure it.
85
Like every download of this programme is registered.
86
But how do we download this programme, Rob?
87

الانطباعات الأولى
هذا الحوار يعد مادة جيدة للتحدث بفضل مواضيعه المثيرة وأسلوب النقاش. يتم التركيز على موضوع الموسيقى وتغيراتها، مما يجذب الانتباه ويثير الفضول. يتضمن الحوار أيضاً نصوصاً واضحة وسهلة الفهم، مما يساعد المتعلمين على الاستفادة من المفردات والتعابير الجديدة. استخدام المحادثات الطبيعية بين المتحدثين يعزز من قدرة المتعلمين على فهم المعاني في سياقها الصحيح.
تحليل الجمل
لنستعرض بعض الجمل من الحوار ونوضح لماذا تبدو طبيعية:
- "I think that, you know, one of the things that's driving this..." - هنا، استخدام "you know" يعكس أسلوب المحادثة اليومية، مما يجعل الجملة تبدو أكثر عفوية.
- "So getting a song played on the radio is important..." - في هذه الجملة، التركيب البسيط يساعد في توصيل الفكرة بوضوح، مما يسهل فهمها على المتعلمين.
- "Well, it seems songs no longer have an intro..." - استخدام "it seems" يعطي انطباعًا بالشك أو البحث، مما يجعل الحديث أكثر حيوية.
روتين الممارسة
لتعزيز مهارات التحدث، يمكن استخدام تقنية "shadow speak" عبر تكرار بعض الجمل. إليك طريقة بسيطة يمكنك اتباعها:
- استمع إلى الجملة.
- كرر الجملة بعد الاستماع مباشرة، مع محاولة تقليد نبرة الصوت والإيقاع.
- سجل نفسك أثناء التحدث، ثم استمع إلى التسجيل لمقارنة أدائك بالأصل.
- كرر العملية مع جمل مختلفة في الحوار لتعزيز ثقتك ومهاراتك في التحدث.
استخدام هذه الطريقة في الممارسة سيؤدي إلى تحسين قدرتك على النطق وفهم الإيقاع اللغوي، مما يجعل تعلم اللغة الإنجليزية أكثر سلاسة ومتعة. تذكر أن الممارسة المنتظمة هي المفتاح، لذا استمر في استخدام تقنية "shadowing site" لتطوير مهاراتك.
القواعد في هذا الفيديو
أكثر التراكيب التي يستخدمها المتحدث، مع العبارات نفسها من الفيديو:
| التركيب | في الفيديو |
|---|---|
| المبني للمجهول be + اسم المفعول — التركيز على ما يحدث لا على من يفعله | was streamed · be enjoyed · be made |
| المضارع التام have/has + اسم المفعول — حدث ماضٍ ما زال له أثر الآن | have found · we've learnt |
| الاحتمال بـ “might / may” might/may + فعل — شيء ممكن لكنه غير مؤكد | might be · might become · might not carry |
| صيغة التفضيل the -est / the most … — الأعلى أو الأدنى في مجموعة | the most streamed |
ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
