6 Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com Hello.
2
This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Neil.
4
And I'm Beth.
5
In this episode, we're talking about twins.
6
Non-identical or fraternal twins come from two separate eggs and share half their genes.
7
More uncommon are identical twins who come from a single fertilised egg and share 100% of their genes.
8
As humans, we're fascinated by twins.
9
When people discover that someone's a twin,
10
they start asking all kinds of questions.
11
What question would you ask a twin, Neil?
12
Oh, probably quite an annoying one.
13
Maybe, do you share each other's thoughts?
14
Ooh, I might ask, if one of you is hurt,
15
does the other one feel the pain?
16
Hmm, interesting.
17
Well, some common questions for twins include,
18
do you have psychic powers?
19
Have you ever swapped boyfriends?
20
And do you have the same dreams?
21
But according to Anand Jagatia,
22
who presented a recent episode of BBC World Service's CrowdScience all about twins...
23
If you meet a twin and you ask them one of these questions,
24
don't be surprised if they roll their eyes at you.
25
Ask a twin about psychic powers and they might roll their eyes – a way of showing boredom or irritation.
26
But nevertheless, twins continue to capture our imagination and in this episode we'll be finding out why,
27
using some useful new words and phrases.
28
And remember, you'll find all the vocabulary for this episode,
29
along with a quiz and a worksheet, on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
30
First, I have a question for you, Beth.
31
These days, twins are more common than you might think.
32
In fact, one in every 42 babies is born a twin.
33
But do you know which famous Hollywood star is a twin?
34
Is it a Jennifer Lawrence,
35
b Angelina Jolie or c Scarlett Johansson?
36
Ooh, I don't know.
37
I'm going to guess Scarlett Johansson.
38
Well, we'll find out the answer at the end of the programme.
39
Professor Karen Dillon is the author of a book on twins in American literature and a twin herself.
40
Here she discusses the good and bad sides of twinship with Anand Jagatia for BBC World Service programme CrowdScience.
41
being a twin isn't always plain sailing.
42
Yeah, it is nice.
43
There's never that fear because you're going through school together.
44
You're sometimes in the same class together.
45
You're making friends together.
46
So all of those milestones of childhood in some ways are made easier for twins.
47
But then the older you get,
48
the more you realise how much people really think of you as a twin rather than as an individual.
49
Twins go through many childhood milestones together.
50
A milestone is an important stage of development,
51
so a childhood milestone could be something like your first day at school.
52
But being a twin isn't always plain sailing,
53
an idiom meaning easy and problem free.
54
Many twins find it hard to establish their own identity as a separate and unique individual.
55
Our fascination with twins also comes from the age-old nature versus nurture debate.
56
How much of our lives is determined by nature,
57
the genetics we're born with,
58
and how much by nurture,
59
the environment we grow up in?
60
Because twins are so genetically similar,
61
differences differences between them tell scientists a lot.
62
Here's presenter of BBC World Service programme CrowdScience,
63
Anand Jagatia, discussing this with Helena de Bress,
64
a philosopher at Wellesley College, Massachusetts.
65
And that's right, another twin.
66
Yeah, you hear about twins that were separated at birth,
67
grew up in different parts of the world,
68
and they kind of have these eerily similar life courses and you think,
69
gosh, how much choice have I had over the way that my life's turned out?
70
Absolutely, yeah.
71
There's that really famous case of the Jim twins who were reunited at age 39 after being separated at birth
72
and they just had so many similarities.
73
It was crazy.
74
They both married someone called Linda and then divorced her for someone called Betty.
75
They both named their dog Toy.
76
It was like ridiculous.
77
The twins Jim Lewis and Jim Springer were separated at birth.
78
The phrase separated at birth can be used to describe two people with strong similarities,
79
although in this case the twins were literally separated and adopted by different parents at birth.
80
When the Jims were reunited in the 1970s,
81
everyone was amazed at how similar their lives were.
82
Anand used the adjective eerie,
83
meaning strange in a frightening, mysterious way.
84
And Helena says it was crazy,
85
using crazy to mean strange and fantastic.
86
Yes, I think strange, mysterious and fantastic describe being a twin quite well.
87
OK Neil, it's time to reveal the answer to your question.
88
I asked which Hollywood star is a twin?
89
And you said C.
90
Scarlett Johansson.
91
I did.
92
Which was the right answer.
93
Yay!
94
Let's recap the vocabulary we've learned,
95
starting with roll your eyes,
96
to move your eyes upwards to show you are bored or annoyed.
97
A milestone is a significant stage in the development of something.
98
The idiom, it's not plain sailing,
99
describes difficult and problematic situations.
100
The phrase separated at birth can describe two people who are unusually similar.
101
It also refers to siblings who were adopted by different parents at birth.
102
And the adjective eerie means strange in a frightening and mysterious way.
103
And finally, if someone says it was crazy,
104
they mean it was strange and fantastic.
105
Once again, our six minutes are up.
106
But remember, you can find worksheets,
107
quizzes and loads more resources to improve your English on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
108
See you there soon, but for now, goodbye.
109
Goodbye.

دليل خطوة بخطوة لطريقة التظليل في الإنجليزية

لتعلم اللغة الإنجليزية بطريقة فعّالة، يمكن استخدام أسلوب طريقة التظليل في الإنجليزية، المعروفة أيضًا باسم shadow speech، والتي تعتمد على الاستماع وتكرار العبارات من مقاطع الفيديو التعليمية. إليك خطوات بسيطة لتطبيق هذه الطريقة:

  1. استمع إلى الحوار: ابدأ بمشاهدة الفيديو والاستماع إلى الحوار دون التوقف للتفكير في المعاني. حاول التقاط النغمة والإيقاع.
  2. استمع مجددًا مع التكرار: قم بتشغيل الفيديو مرة أخرى وابدأ بتكرار العبارات بعد كل جملة. يمكنك استخدام أي shadowing site لمساعدتك.
  3. تسجيل صوتك: قم بتسجيل صوتك أثناء تكرارك للعبارات. هذا سيساعدك في مقارنة نطقك مع نطق المتحدث الأصلي.
  4. تحليل الأداء: استمع إلى تسجيلك ولاحظ أي أوجه قصور في النطق أو الإيقاع، وحاول تحسينها.
  5. الممارسة اليومية: اجعل طريقة التظليل جزءًا من روتينك اليومي. قم بالعودة إلى مقاطع الفيديو واستخدام العبارات التي تعلمتها في محادثاتك اليومية.

بتطبيق هذه الخطوات، يمكنك تحسين قدرتك على التحدث باللغة الإنجليزية وزيادة ثقتك بنفسك في استخدام العبارات الجديدة.

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.
