Hello, listeners.
2
I'm excited we're meeting again.
3
Welcome to the 8-Minute English Podcast series on the Learn English Podcast channel.
4
I'm your host, Nathan.
5
It's great to have you with us again.
6
Have you ever thought about writing down everything you do in your life?
7
If you feel like time is being wasted or you're tired from everyday activities, this might be a sign to watch this video.
8
Let's listen to a conversation between Mark, a new graduate, and Rina, his former senior who's already working.
9
Their chat will show us simple ways to make life more meaningful by writing about your day.
10
We've prepared a free PDF for this episode full of useful tips and vocabulary to help you with your learning.
11
Make sure to check it out, it'll be really helpful for you.
12
Let's start right now.
13
Thanks for meeting me, Rina.
14
I'm really stressed these days.
15
No problem, Mark.
16
I'm happy to see you again.
17
What's on your mind?
18
Well, I graduated a few months ago, and it's been hard.
19
I've applied to so many jobs, but no one gets back to me.
20
I've tried learning new skills, but I don't feel motivated anymore.
21
It feels like I'm wasting my time.
22
Have you ever thought about writing down your day?
23
Writing down my day?
24
Like journaling?
25
Not exactly.
26
I mean, keeping track of what you do every day.
27
It's more like mapping out your day, seeing where your time goes, and understanding what's really happening.
28
It helped me when I was in your situation.
29
How does that even work?
30
Let's start with your mornings.
31
What do you usually do when you wake up?
32
Uh, wake up, scroll on my phone, then maybe grab something quick to eat.
33
Not much.
34
This is where we can really change things.
35
What you do in the morning affects your whole day.
36
Imagine waking up and writing down simple things like getting out of bed, making breakfast, or stretching.
37
It can help you feel more in control.
38
I guess I could try waking up earlier.
39
But would writing it down really make a difference?
40
Sure.
41
When you write things down, you start to notice how you spend your time.
42
This helps you make better choices.
43
Alright, but after breakfast, I don't really know what to do.
44
I sometimes try learning new things, but it feels like a waste of time.
45
You can plan your study or work time by writing what you want to achieve.
46
Maybe today your goal is to apply for three jobs or finish a small online course.
47
When you write it down, it becomes real.
48
But what if I don't finish it?
49
Actually, the aim isn't to be perfect.
50
It's about getting better so you can improve tomorrow.
51
What do you usually do in your free time?
52
Like when you're not learning skills.
53
Scrolling through social media again?
54
Hmm.
55
Next time, try writing down how you spend your break.
56
It could be a quick walk, grabbing a coffee.
57
So instead of just scrolling without thinking, I could take a walk or listen to music?
58
That's right.
59
For example, you might think scrolling through social media is normal, but why not try other activities?
60
It can give you new experiences.
61
Also, when you write down your activities, you see how much time you spend on each one.
62
Oh, so I can know if spending time on that activity is helpful or not.
63
You got it right.
64
Oh, I have one more problem.
65
The afternoons are the hardest.
66
By 2 p.m., I feel tired.
67
I can't focus or find motivation.
68
Then I waste the rest of the day.
69
Well, by the afternoon, we feel like we've achieved something and want to take a break right away.
70
Again, it's about the feeling.
71
And writing will help you see things clearly.
72
You could plan something easy, like reviewing your work or taking a short break to refresh.
73
I'm fine with that.
74
But do I need to write every day?
75
That sounds strange because most of my days are the same.
76
Not really.
77
There's a way to write down your day without getting bored.
78
When you talk to other people, you could ask them how they feel about something or a story.
79
Then add what they share to your notebook.
80
Wow.
81
I hadn't thought about that.
82
So it helps writing not feel repetitive or boring. For sure.
83
This also helps you remember and learn new things from it.
84
Because we can't remember everything without taking notes.
85
And writing is only helpful if you review what you've written.
86
Don't just write and forget about it.
87
Okay, I'm starting to find this interesting.
88
This might be a new experience in the middle of a boring day.
89
Let's learn some important vocabulary related to our topic.
90
First, we have a noun called graduate.
91
A graduate is a person who has finished university.
92
Mark is a new graduate looking for work.
93
Next, we have the adjective motivated.
94
This word means having a strong reason to do something.
95
Mark doesn't feel motivated to learn new skills.
96
Then, we have journaling.
97
It means writing in a diary about your thoughts and feelings.
98
Journaling can help Mark write about his day.
99
Let's learn this verb, track.
100
It means to follow or check something regularly.
101
Writing down your activities helps track your time.
102
The last word is scroll.
103
This action means to move up or down a screen.
104
Mark often scrolls through social media when he wakes up.
105
Did you learn how to use these words?
106
Let's look at two important questions related to the topic.
107
The first question, what did you learn about the benefits of writing down your day?
108
For me, I realized that writing helps me understand myself better better.
109
It can also bring good changes.
110
The second question, what is one thing you would like to change about your daily routine?
111
I will have a clearer plan
112
because I spend too much time thinking about what I should do without writing it down clearly.
113
What's your answer?
114
Please share in the comments below.
115
Do the world's famous geniuses write things down?
116
The answer is yes.
117
No matter who we are, We all need to write to make things clearer.
118
Leonardo da Vinci, the famous artist, had many notebooks.
119
His notebooks are full of ideas and interesting stories.
120
He also had a very interesting way of writing, which is mirror writing.
121
Da Vinci wrote backwards, using mirror script.
122
Some think he did this to keep his ideas secret, or because it was his own style.
123
This means you can also write in your own style.
124
Don't think of writing as something tiring or a waste of time.
125
Writing not only helps you plan your day more clearly, but it also gives you more random ideas.
126
In fact, a study from Harvard Business School shows
127
that people who write down their goals
128
and plans each day are more likely to stick to their routines and feel less stressed.
129
It's like a camera that helps you look back on your journey.
130
What you write down today can motivate your future plans.
131
There's also research from the University of California that shows journaling daily can improve mental health and focus.
132
Writing can be like a conversation with yourself, where you understand what's on your mind.
133
So, instead of just thinking about ideas, put them down on paper.
134
It's a simple way to bring your thoughts to life.
135
And who knows, the ideas you write today might be something amazing tomorrow.
136
Writing down your activities and fun things during the day will help you organize your tasks and make your life more meaningful.
137
You can practice by writing down three things you learned from this podcast.
138
I hope it will be helpful for your journey.
139

140
You can also suggest topics you would like to hear in the comment section.

Please stay healthy, goodbye, and see you again in the next episode.

نصائح للتدريب

لتحسين مهاراتك في النطق باللغة الإنجليزية، يُنصح بتطبيق تقنية shadow speak أثناء الاستماع إلى المحادثات في الفيديو. حاول تكرار الجمل بعد كل عبارة مباشرة، مما يساعدك على تحسين نطقك وإيقاعك. استخدم ضبط السرعة في الفيديو لمساعدتك في التكيف مع إيقاع المحادثة. يمكنك البدء ببطء ثم زيادة السرعة عندما تشعر براحة أكبر. تذكر أن الهدف ليس الوصول للكمال بل للتحسين المستمر.

بالإضافة إلى ذلك، أنصحك بكتابة ملاحظات أثناء مشاهدتك للفيديو. استخدم shadowspeak لتدوين الملاحظات حول ما تعلمته من المفردات الجديدة أو العبارات المهمة. هذه الطريقة ستساعدك على الاحتفاظ بالمعلومات بشكل أفضل. بعد الانتهاء، حاول كتابة فقرة قصيرة عن يومك باستخدام المفردات الجديدة. ستساعدك هذه الطريقة على استخدام shadow speech بشكل فعال في محادثاتك اليومية.

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.
