Tom, I think being an adolescent can be quite challenging because we experience many new emotions.

Sometimes I feel very emotional, especially when I have problems with my friends or family.

I agree.
6
During adolescence, we also start to care more about our privacy.
7
I think everyone needs some private time to think about their feelings.
8
That's true.

However, some teenagers have an idealistic idea of friendship.
10
They expect their friends to be perfect, but that's not always realistic.
11
Exactly.
12
I used to be very impatient when my friends didn't understand me.

Later, I realized that my impatience could make other people feel uncomfortable.

Tom.
15
I have the same problem sometimes.
16
I also have a lot of concern about what other people think of me, especially when they give me criticism.
17
Don't worry too much about criticism.
18
Some criticism can actually help us improve, although it can be difficult to accept when someone is too critical.
19
You're right.
20
I'm also quite concerned about my safety when I'm online.
21
There are many things on the internet that can cause problems.
22
That's why we should learn how to stay safe online.
23
For example, we shouldn't share too much private information with strangers.

Sometimes, even a small irritant can cause a lot of irritation.

For example, when someone keeps sending me unnecessary messages, I become annoyed.
27
I understand, but I think we should control our emotions instead of reacting immediately.
28
If we are too emotional or impatient, we might say something that we later regret.
29
That's a good point.
30
Another problem I have is distrust.
31
When someone lies to me several times, I become distrustful even if they later try to be honest.
32
I think distrust is understandable, But we shouldn't judge everyone because of one bad experience.
33
We should give people a chance to prove that they can be trusted.
34
I completely agree.
35
Being mature doesn't mean that we never have negative emotions.
36
It means that we learn how to understand and control them.
37
Exactly.
38
I think the ideal personality is not someone who is perfect, but someone who is honest, patient, responsible, and willing to learn from criticism.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
