This is 6 Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com Hello, I'm Rob.
2
Welcome to 6 Minute English.
3
I'm joined today by Finn.
4
Hello Finn.
5
Hi Rob.
6
You know, I'm happy you called me to present this programme with you, because I was there by my desk feeling a bit bored.
7
Great yawn, Finn.
8
Yeah.
9
Now yawn, of course, is a typical reaction of someone who is bored.
10
Yeah, it's when you open your mouth wide and take some air in and slowly out.
11
OK, well, let's make this programme all about boredom, shall we?
12
And I'll start by stimulating your imagination.
13
Thank you, but how are you going to make me excited and interested in something, Rob?
14
OK, well, how about I challenge you to a question that you might not know the answer to?
15
OK, well, you can try.
16
OK.
17
Go on then.
18
Well, I know you like the theatre.
19
I do.
20
But it has to be an exciting play or I get restless.
21
Restless.
22
You mean unable to sit still because you get bored or worried even.
23
OK.
24
Well, I wonder how you'd feel watching the longest continuous play recorded?
25
Well, that's quite an offer.
26
But what do you mean?
27
Well, according to the Guinness Book of Records, the longest continuous dramatic performance was held in New Jersey in the US in 2010.
28
But do you know how long the cast for The Bald Soprano by Eugene Ionesco was on stage four?
29
Was it for about a.
30
8 hours, b.
31
17 hours, or c.
32
23 hours?
33
Wow, they're all pretty long.
34
I'll say b.
35
17 hours, Rob.
36
Goodness, right.
37
OK, well, I'll let you know the answer at the end of the programme.
38
Now let's talk more about boredom.
39
I think this is a feeling we have to learn how to cope with.
40
Yes, we have to learn to deal with this situation successfully, to cope with it.
41
But people often feel they want to change their life, to change their job.
42
They might feel stuck in a rut.
43
That's a good phrase, stuck in a rut.
44
So you mean you have become too fixed in one kind of job.
45
Yes, you know, Rob, even I sometimes dream of something a bit more exciting,
46
like being a professional diver or maybe even a pilot of a really fast plane.
47
Well, guess what?
48
Even pilots get bored, you know.
49
Not when they're flying, anyway.
50
Wrong.
51
When they're up in the air.
52
No way, really.
53
I don't believe you.
54
Well, Missy Cummings, an American, was a fighter pilot.
55
Listen to the phrasal verb she uses, meaning to stop being bored, at least for a while.
56
Is there ever time for a fighter pilot to get bored?
57
Oh, my gosh, sure.
58
For the same reasons that commercial pilots get bored.
59
These fighter jets are very automated when it comes to just holding altitude and heading.
60
So you'd turn everything on autopilot.
61
And I probably listened to more Oprah Winfrey TV shows on the high-frequency radios
62
and so you get good about using the technology to figure out how to stave off that boredom.
63
Ah, so she listened to a show hosted by the American presenter Oprah Winfrey on the radio to stave off her boredom.
64
Now, to stave off means to stop or to keep an unpleasant feeling away.
65
In this case she means boredom.
66
Yes, indeed.
67
But some experts think there's something good about feeling bored.
68
Really?
69
Let's hear what Tiffany Watt-Smith has to say.
70
She works for the Centre for the History of Emotions at the Queen Mary University of London.
71
Pay attention to the word she uses to describe what boredom does to people.
72
On the one hand, people are worried about being under-occupied and bored.
73
On the other, there is a set of anxieties about us not having any more downtime.
74
You know, we can constantly check our phones at the bus stop.
75
Everything is to be filled and what does that do to our minds?
76
I think boredom is a very useful emotion.
77
It's an emotion which spurs people on to change something about their environment.
78
If you're bored, it gives rise to creativity.
79
So, boredom spurs people on to change something.
80
Now, to spur on means to stimulate or to encourage someone to do something.
81
So, what are you going to do, Finn?
82
How will you change your life?
83
Change my life?
84
OK, two things.
85
The first one is...
86
I want to know if I got that question right.
87
Well, I said at the beginning of the programme
88
that the longest continuous dramatic performance was held in New Jersey US in 2010.
89
And I asked you, how long was the cast on stage for to play the Bald Soprano by Eugene Ionesco?
90
Yes, the options were 8 hours, 17 hours and 23 hours, I think.
91
And I said 17.
92
Was I right?
93
You were not.
94
Oh no. It was even longer.
95
Oh wow!
96
23 records, yes, the play lasted 23 hours, 33 minutes and 54 seconds.
97
It was achieved by the 27 o'clock players who performed the Bald Soprano at Belmar, New Jersey, USA on 27th July 2010.
98
Anyway, Finn, what's the second thing you were going to do to stave off your boredom?
99
You know what, Rob?
100
I'm going to book myself a fantastic holiday.
101
Maybe I could start with a visit to Patagonia in Argentina to see the penguins.
102
Yeah, sounds very exciting.
103
But before you head off to Patagonia, could you remind us of some of the English words we've heard today?
104
We heard...
105
yawn, stimulating, restless, to cope with,
106
stuck in a rut, to stave off, to spur on.
107
Thanks, Finn.
108
That's it for this programme.
109
I hope you didn't find it boring.
110
Not at all.
111
I loved it.
112

| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | was held · be filled · was achieved |

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
