Hi everyone, welcome back to Everyday English Talk, the podcast where we help you practice simple English for daily life conversations.
2
I'm Anna.
3
And I'm Ben.
4
Thank you for joining us again, we're so happy you're here, whether you're at home, on the bus, or out for a walk.
5
Today's topic is something interesting, and maybe a little scary for some people.
6
Yes, today we're going to imagine a day without my phone.
7
That's right.
8
Can you imagine waking up and suddenly no phone? no calls, no messages, no social media, No internet?
9
No Google Maps, no music, no YouTube, no podcasts.
10
We'll accept this podcast.
11
Let's imagine we still have this one.
12
Yes.
13
So today we'll talk about what a day without our phones might look like, step by step.
14
We'll describe our morning, afternoon, and evening, and how we might feel.
15
And don't forget, at the end, we'll have a listening and speaking challenge for you.
16
Alright, let's get started.
17
All right, Anna.
18
Let's start with the morning.
19
Imagine, you wake up and your phone is not there.
20
It's gone.
21
No phone next to your bed.
22
What happens first?
23
Oh wow.
24
That's already a big problem for me.
25
Usually, my phone alarm wakes me up every day.
26
I set it for 7am on weekdays but, on weekends I let myself sleep until around 8 :30.
27
Same here, I actually have 3 alarms on my phone One at 6 :45, one at 7 :00 and a final one at 7 :10.
28
Just in case I don't wake up.
29
Wow, three alarms?
30
You really don't want to be late.
31
Exactly.
32
But if there's no phone, there's no alarm at all.
33
Right.
34
So, I might wake up late, maybe at 9 or even 10 a .m., just because there's no sound to wake me up.
35
And after waking up, what's the first thing you usually do with your phone?
36
Honestly, I usually grab my phone immediately.
37
Still lying in bed, I check my messages, look at WhatsApp, Instagram, and emails.
38
Sometimes.
39
I also scroll through TikTok for a few minutes or more before getting up.
40
Me too, I usually check news updates as well, just to see what's happening in the world.
41
But now, with no phone, I can't check anything.
42
I wouldn't know the time, I wouldn't know the news, I wouldn't know if my friends messaged me.
43
And let's not forget, I always check the weather app in the morning, to know if I should bring an umbrella or wear a jacket, That's true.
44
But today, with no phone, I'd have to look outside the window and guess.
45
Or just wait until I go outside and hope for the best.
46
So just in the first 10 minutes after waking up, life already feels very different without a phone.
47
First, alarm.
48
It means a sound to wake you up.
49
For example, my alarm rings at 7 a .m every morning.
50
Second, wake up.
51
It means to stop sleeping.
52
For example, I wake up late if I don't set an alarm.
53
Third, scroll.
54
It means move up /down on a phone screen.
55
For example, I like to scroll through Instagram in bed.
56
Force, weather.
57
It means the condition outside.
58
For example, I check the weather app every morning.
59
And finally, guess it means to try without being sure.
60
For example, I can't check the forecast, so I'll guess what to wear.
61
Okay, now imagine it's time to leave the house.
62
You're getting ready, you grab your bag, and then you realize your phone isn't there.
63
Oh no, that would feel so weird.
64
I always, always carry my phone with me.
65
It's like a part of me.
66
I check to make sure I have my keys, wallet and phone before leaving.
67
Same.
68
I think most people do that, but today, we don't have it.
69
So, first problem: no music.
70
When I walk to the bus stop, I always listen to Spotify.
71
I like starting my day with some happy songs.
72
For me, I usually listen to a podcast on the way to work.
73
Sometimes English podcasts, sometimes just funny shows.
74
But now, the walk is silent.
75
No music, no podcasts, just me and my thoughts.
76
And when I get on the bus or train, it's even worse.
77
I usually scroll through social media, read news, or just text friends during the ride.
78
"Yes, but now with no phone I have to just sit, look out the window, or maybe look at other people.
79
That sounds kind of awkward, but also, maybe peaceful?
80
Maybe, but it would feel strange.
81
And what about Google Maps?
82
Imagine going to a new place today.
83
Oh wow, without Google Maps, I'd feel nervous.
84
I don't know street names very well.
85
I'd probably get lost.
86
Me too.
87
I'd have to ask someone for directions.
88
Like, excuse me, how do I get to Main Street?
89
Good speaking practice, but still scary.
90
And one more thing, if I see something beautiful like a flower or a sunset or even a cute dog, normally I'd take a photo.
91
Same here, I take photos almost every day.
92
But today, no photos, I just look at it and try to remember.
93
Kind of nice, but I'd miss having pictures.
94
Same.
95
First, grab my bag.
96
It means to take quickly.
97
For example, I grab my bag and run out the door.
98
2. Listen to music.
99
It means to enjoy songs or sounds.
100
For example, I always listen to music on the bus.
101
Third, social media.
102
It means apps like Facebook, Instagram.
103
For example, I check social media during my commute.
104
Fourth, get lost.
105
It means to not know where you are.
106
For example, without Google Maps I might get lost.
107
And finally, take a photo.
108
It means use a camera to save an image.
109
For example, I want to take a photo of that sunset.
110
Okay, now let's talk about communication.
111
Big problem here.
112
So, let's say it's afternoon now.
113
Maybe I want to meet a friend for lunch.
114
Normally, I just send a quick text.
115
Hey, want to grab lunch today?
116
Yes.
117
Or, where are you?
118
What time will you arrive?
119
But today, no texting.
120
No calling.
121
Exactly.
122
So, the only way to meet someone is to plan in advance, or just hope to see them somewhere.
123
It feels like going back to the 1990s.
124
Totally.
125
Also, I usually check work emails on my phone during the day.
126
But today, no emails.
127
I'd have to wait until I get home and open my laptop.
128
True.
129
And, I'm in some group chats with my friends, we talk about weekend plans, funny memes, events happening in the city.
130
Today, I'd miss all of that.
131
Yeah, and with family too.
132
I usually send a quick good morning to my mom, or my sister sends me photos of her cat.
133
But today, silence.
134
No messages, no photos, no funny cat videos.
135
That would feel lonely.
136
It really would.
137
I'd probably start wondering.
138
"Is everything okay?
139
Did I miss something important?" Yes, that fear of missing out or as people say, FOMO.
140
Exactly.
141
First, text someone.
142
It means send a short message.
143
It means send a short message For example, I usually text my friend before lunch.
144
Second, call someone.
145
It means talk by phone.
146
For example, "Can I call you after work?" Third, email.
147
It means online message.
148
For example, I read my emails on my phone.
149
4 group chat.
150
It means chat with many people.
151
For example, we planned the party in a group chat, And finally, Message It means short note on phone.
152
For example, I got a message from my sister this morning.
153
Okay, now let's try to think positive.
154
What's something good about not having a phone for a day?
155
Hmm.
156
Well, without my phone?
157
I'd probably notice more things around me.
158
Yes, like when walking, I'd notice the trees, the flowers, the people walking, dogs.
159
And I might hear more sounds, like birds singing or just the general city noise.
160
At work, I wouldn't feel the need to check my phone every five minutes.
161
That's true.
162
I often get distracted by notifications.
163
Even during work meetings, sometimes I secretly look at my phone.
164
Same here, but without my phone, I'd probably finish my tasks faster.
165
And during lunch, instead of looking at Instagram, I might actually talk more with coworkers.
166
Yes, real conversations.
167
And when I get home, instead of lying on the couch and scrolling for an hour, I might pick up a real book.
168
Or maybe go for an evening walk, just to clear my mind.
169
Or do something creative, like drawing or writing in a journal.
170
That sounds so healthy.
171
Yes.
172
So, even though it feels strange at first, maybe a phone -free day could be Good for us.
173
I think so too.
174
First, notice: it means to see or hear something.
175
For example, I noticed the birds singing this morning.
176
Bird It means a small flying animal.
177
For example, a bird was sitting outside my window.
178
3. Talk with someone It means to speak with another person.
179

180
4. Book It means pages with writing to read.

182
And finally, Draw It means make pictures.
183

184
All right, now it's evening time.
185
Dinner is finished.
186
The sun is going down.
187
And still no phone.
188
Normally, after dinner, I sit on the sofa and watch Netflix on my phone.
189
Me too.
190
Or I watch YouTube videos.
191
Sometimes for 30 minutes, sometimes 2 hours.
192
Yes, sometimes I plan to watch for 10 minutes, and then it's suddenly midnight.
193
But today, with no phone, I can't watch anything.
194
Maybe I'd turn on the TV if I have one, or listen to the radio.
195
Or play board games with family, or even call a friend using the house phone if I still have one.
196
A house phone.
197
That feels so old now.
198
Or maybe, I'd spend time cleaning my room or organizing my closet.
199
Good idea. And...
200
Probably, without my phone I'd go to bed earlier.
201
Yes, no scrolling through Instagram, no watching short videos until my eyes hurt.
202
So, by 10 or 10 :30 PM, I might already be asleep.
203
That sounds like a healthy change.
204
So, evening without a phone feels quiet, maybe a little boring.
205
But also peaceful.
206
Exactly.
207
First, dinner, it means evening meal.
208
For example, we had pasta for dinner.

217
It means make tidy.
218
For example, I need to clean my room this weekend.
219
Alright, let's do a quick summary of today's topic.
220
Yes, so today we imagined a full day without our phones.
221
In the morning, we had no alarm clock, no messages, no social media, and no weather app.
222
During the day, no music, no Google Maps, no camera for photos, and no texting friends.
223
In the afternoon, we felt disconnected, but also more focused.
224
We noticed our surroundings more and had more real conversations.
225
And in the evening, no Netflix, no YouTube, no TikTok.
226
Instead, we could read, write, listen to the radio, or go to bed early.
227

परिदृश्य
कल्पना कीजिए, आप एक सुबह उठते हैं और आपका फोन गायब है। सुबह का पहला काम, जिसका हम हमेशा इंतज़ार करते हैं, वो अचानक नहीं हो रहा है। अलार्म नहीं बज रहा है और आप समय नहीं जान पा रहे हैं। यह स्थिति हमारे दैनिक जीवन में एक बहुत ही महत्वपूर्ण मुद्दा है। आज के इस वार्तालाप में, हम देखेंगे कि एक दिन बिना फोन के कैसा हो सकता है। यह सिर्फ एक चर्चा नहीं है, बल्कि यह उन अनुभवों को साझा करने का मौका है जो हम सबने कभी न कभी महसूस किए हैं।
उपयोगी शब्द समूह और संयुक्त रूप
- अलार्म लगाना - Alarm set करना
- समय देखना - Checking the time
- संदेश चेक करना - Checking messages
- ताज़ा खबरें - Latest news
- मौसम की जानकारी - Weather updates
इन शब्द समूहों को याद करना आपके अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास में सहायक होगा। जब आप इन्हें अपने दैनिक संवाद में शामिल करेंगे, तो आपकी बातचीत और भी स्वाभाविक लगेगी।
आपकी शैडोइंग चुनौती
अब एक छोटी सी चुनौती लें! वीडियो से संवाद सुनें और उसके बाद खुद से दोहराएं। किसी एक वाक्य को चुनें, जैसे "आज सुबह उठते ही मैंने अपना फोन नहीं पाया।" इसे अपने शब्दों में कहने की कोशिश करें। इससे न केवल आपका अंग्रेजी उच्चारण में सुधार होगा बल्कि आपकी धाराप्रवाहता भी बढ़ेगी। अगर आप यूट्यूब से अंग्रेजी सीखें, तो इस प्रक्रिया को और भी मजेदार बना सकते हैं। याद रखें, शैडोइंग तकनीक का उपयोग करके आप अपने बोलने के कौशल में निखार ला सकते हैं।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
