Shadowing Practice: Is Binge Watching Bad For You? - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
Whether you're watching an entire Netflix series in one sitting, or playing the newest Zelda from start to finish, most of us spend a significant time in front of screens.
2
But is binge watching bad for your brain and body?
3
In the past, it may have actually been deadly.
4
In 1967, an error in manufacturing led to the selling of TVs which emitted harmful x -rays,
5
with radiation levels 100 ,000 times higher than what is considered safe today.
6
But even modern televisions cause a strain on your eyes.
7
Humans blink around 18 times per minute, but when staring at a screen this rate decreases drastically, causing sore and tired eyes.
8
Fortunately, these symptoms are generally short term.
9
In children, however, simply spending extended hours indoors can have developmental effects.
10
A condition called myopia, where the eyes cannot focus properly, is seen much more frequently in children who spend more time inside.
11
Not only are you constantly forced but scientists believe that the sun itself may actually play a role in healthy eye regulation.
12
And while TV may feel like a nice way to relax your body and brain, that may not always be a good thing.
13
Not only is a sedentary lifestyle a major contributor to obesity, but studies have shown that people who watch less TV tend to burn more calories,
14
even if they aren't doing more physical activity.
15
And if you want to truly relax, TV before bed may also be hurting you.
16
Studies have shown that it may actually reduce the hours of quality sleep, contributing to chronic sleep debt.
17
It may also affect other bedtime activities.
18
Researchers have found that those who watch more than 20 hours of TV a week have, on average, a 44 % reduction in sperm.
19
But perhaps the most significant findings relate directly to your lifespan.
20
Not only disease, but as shocking as it may be,
21
multiple studies have found a correlation between TV viewing time and all causes of death.
22
One study concluded that every hour spent in front of the TV may cut as much as 22 minutes off your life.
23
Of course, correlation does not equal causation, and you can have a healthy relationship with TV if consumed in moderation like anything else.
24
At the root of many of these claims is the physical inactivity associated with prolonged TV watching.
25
Ultimately, the more live.

¿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.
