5
You ready?
6
So today I'm gonna talk about the internet.
7
This is a very relevant topic because all of us use the internet.
8
If you're watching this video, that means you're using the internet.
9
The internet is a really important invention.
10
Can you imagine your life without it?
11
I can't.
12
So, Let's talk about the history, the use, the positives and the negatives of the internet.
13
The first version of the internet was created in the 1960s.
14
This was a prototype.
15
A prototype is an early model of a product.
16
So the prototype of the internet was the early version of the internet.
17
It was created in the US.
18
The US government started this project.
19
But that internet wasn't the same as today's internet.
20
The World Wide Web was created in 1989.
21
People didn't have the internet at home until later.
22
For example, my family started using the internet around the year 2000.
23
How about you?
24
When did you start using the internet?
25
Ok, now let's talk about the benefits of the internet.
26
The internet is one of the most important inventions.
27
It changed the world.
28
Before the internet, there were fewer ways to communicate with people who were far away.
29
You could call them on the phone, or you could write them a letter.
30
I remember writing letters when I was a kid.
31
But nowadays, most people don't write letters anymore.
32
We write emails or we send text messages.
33
Thanks to the internet, we can send messages instantly.
34
So, communication is faster and easier.
35
Nowadays, many people can have long -distance relationships because of the internet.
36
You can talk to your boyfriend or girlfriend for free using Skype or other apps.
37
For that reason, it's easier to have a long -distance relationship nowadays.
38
It's still hard of course, but the internet makes it a little easier.
39
Another benefit of the internet is the information it contains.
40
You can find anything and everything on the internet.
41
If you want to learn about something, it's super easy.
42
You just need to search for that subject on the internet.
43
There are so many useful resources online.
44
Okay, now let's talk about some of the negative effects of the internet.
45
For example, there's a lot of bad content on the internet.
46
Not everything is good and helpful.
47
There are a lot of things online that we should avoid.
48
Parents need to be careful because children can find anything online.
49
Another negative thing is that people spend a lot of time on the internet.
50
Many of us spend hours and hours every day on the computer.
51
We should spend more time outside, but we don't.
52
We're addicted to the internet.
53
One other negative effect of the internet is that our relationships can get worse.
54
Now it's less common to talk to people in person.
55
we usually talk to people online.
56
This means that many children don't learn good communication skills.
57
And sometimes people can get in arguments online.
58
People often argue on Facebook or other social media apps.
59
Alright, let me teach you a few vocabulary words related to the internet.
60
We use the phrase "login" or "login to"
61
when we enter into an account like Facebook and we use the phrase log out when we exit.
62
So, you can say "I logged into Facebook" or "I logged out of Facebook." Now,
63
let's look at the word "username." This is the name that you use to log into an account.
64
You use your username and password to log in.
65
For example, my username is EnglishTeacher123.
66
Lastly, let's look at the word browser.
67
A browser is what you use to open web pages.
68
Some examples of browsers are Safari and Google Chrome.
69
Okay, now I'm going to ask you some questions about the video to see if you understood.
70
Write your answers in a comment down below.
71
1. When was the World Wide Web invented?
72
2. What is one app you can use to talk to people far away?
73
And number three: What is one negative effect of the internet?

Gramática en este vídeo

Las estructuras que más usa el hablante, con las palabras exactas del vídeo:

EstructuraEn el vídeo
Voz pasiva be + participio pasado — importa lo que ocurre, no quién lo hacewas created
Consejo con “should” should + verbo — decir qué es buena ideashould avoid · should spend
Futuro con “going to” be going to + verbo — un plan o algo que se ve venirgonna talk · I'm going to ask
Obligación: must / have to / need to decir que algo es necesarioneed to search · need to be

Pronunciación a tener en cuenta

El hablante usa 13 contracciones y formas reducidas, como don't, I'm, you're. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.

  • Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: invention /ɪnˈvɛnʃən/, comprehension /ˌkɑmpɹɪˈhɛnʃn̩/
  • Palabras largas — cuida el acento: communicate /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪt/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/

Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:

  • /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: invention /ɪnˈvɛnʃən/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, invent /ɪnˈvɛnt/
  • /z/ — sonora, no /s/: nowadays /ˈnaʊ.ə.deɪz/, browser /ˈbɹaʊ.zəɹ/, phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, resource /ɹɪˈzɔːs/, exit /ˈɛɡzət/
  • /h/ — una aspiración suave, no la “j”: helpful /ˈhɛlp.fl̩/, comprehension /ˌkɑmpɹɪˈhɛnʃn̩/

Cómo practicar con este vídeo

  1. Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
  2. Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
  3. Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como nowadays, prototype, username.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
