Hello, I'm Neil.
4
Welcome to 6 Minute English.
5
I'm joined today by Finn.
6
Hello, Finn.
7
Hello, Neil.
8
Now, I have a question for you.
9
OK.
10
What age did you leave home?
11
I left home at 18, Neil.
12
That's quite young, isn't it?
13
Why did you leave home?
14
Well, I really wanted to see more of the world.
15
Interesting.
16
Well, we could say that was the end of your childhood and the beginning of your adulthood.
17
It's a time when you begin to stand on your own two feet.
18
You mean it's when I started to be independent, to look after myself and act like a grown -up.
19
Well, maybe.
20
A bit like a grown -up.
21
Yes, it's when you're supposed to think and act like a man.
22
Yes.
23
Well, according to some experts, the age when adulthood begins could be increasing.
24
I'll tell you more about that soon and we'll look at some vocabulary as well to do with growing up.
25
But before that, I have another question for you, Finn.
26
In England, people can get married without asking their parent or without consent at the age of 18.
27
Do you know what the youngest age is men can legally marry in Bangladesh?
28
OK.
29
Is it A, 15, B, 18 or C, 21?
30
I honestly have no idea.
31
So I'll say be 18.
32
OK, I'll let you know the answer at the end of the programme.
33
Back now to our discussion about the age we really become an adult.
34
Leaving home or getting married could be some of the signs of maturity and becoming a grown -up.
35
There are many other signs too, but certainly in the UK, people regard 18 as the age when we reach the end of adolescence,
36
– a point where you've changed from being a child to being an adult.
37
You should, in theory, think and behave like one.
38
Well, that is the theory.
39
We know that people develop at different speeds and some never grow up.
40
I'm sure we know people like that.
41
One or two.
42
But child psychologists – the people who study how children behave – now think adolescents could last until the age of 25.
43
Twenty -five is when they stop being an adolescent.
44
Medical and educational professionals now have a better understanding of how our hormones, the chemicals in our body, develop and how our brain works.
45
They say that we keep developing into our twenties.
46
A child psychologist called Laverne Antrobus, who works at the Tavistock Clinic in London,
47
appeared in a BBC magazine article recently and said the idea
48
that suddenly at 18 you're an adult just doesn't quite ring true.
49
My experience of young people is that they still need quite a considerable amount of support and help beyond that age.
50
So she says the idea that we become an adult at 18 doesn't ring true.
51
That means it doesn't sound true.
52
Young people need help and support until they're older.
53
She also suggests that some young people continue to live at home because they need more support during these formative years,
54
the time when you are growing up.
55
Well, that might be true for some, but I was ready to leave home at 18.
56
I was bored at home and ready for my freedom.
57
I know the feeling.
58
Well, in the same BBC article, Frank Furedi, professor of sociology at the University of Kent,
59
thinks what you did is a good thing he says there's a loss of aspiration for independence
60
and striking out on your own
61
when I went to university
62
it would have been a social death to have been seen with your parents whereas now it's the norm
63
so he thinks living at home makes you lose the aspiration
64
or the desire to be independent and he says in his day it would have been social death death,
65
so embarrassing to be seen by others to live at home.
66
And I think he's saying living at home stops you growing up quickly.
67
Does this mean we're developing a generation of big babies?
68
Well, maybe not, Neil.
69
But this is an interesting subject.
70
Could it be we're mollycoddling young people for longer?
71
That means protecting them and looking after them.
72
Yes, or it could be that young people are living at home for longer for economic reasons, they can't afford to leave home.
73
Or maybe there is some truth in the idea that it takes longer for us to grow up.
74
I think I'll go with that theory.
75
That.. would explain your juvenile behaviour, Finn.
76
Oh, come on!
77
Now, let's find out if you got today's question right.
78
Earlier I asked you if you knew what the youngest age a man can legally marry in Bangladesh is.
79
I said 18, I think, Neil.
80
That was option B.
81
Mm -hm.
82
You were wrong.
83
Oh, no. It was option C.
84
21. Apparently it's 21 for men, 18 for women.
85
Now, Finn, could you remind us of some of the growing -up -related words that we heard today?
86
Yes, we heard adulthood, stand on your own two feet,
87
maturity, adolescence, psychologists,
88
Thank you.
89
We hope you've enjoyed today's programme.

La grammatica di questo video

Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:

StrutturaNel video
Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adessoyou've changed · you've enjoyed
Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fahave been seen · be seen

Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione

Chi parla usa 20 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come I'll, doesn't, I'm. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.

  • Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: psychologist /ˌsaɪˈkɑl.ə.d͡ʒɪst/, maturity /məˈtjʊəɹɪti/, adolescent /ˌæd.əˈlɛs.ənt/, considerable /kənˈsɪdəɹəbl̩/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/

I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:

  • /h/ — va soffiata, non è muta: behave /bɪˈheɪv/, whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/, hormone /ˈhoɹmoʊn/
  • Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: psychologist /ˌsaɪˈkɑl.ə.d͡ʒɪst/, youngest /ˈjʌŋ.ɡɪst/, behave /bɪˈheɪv/, adolescent /ˌæd.əˈlɛs.ənt/, whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/
  • /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: marry /ˈmæɹi/, adolescent /ˌæd.əˈlɛs.ənt/, whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, adolescence /ˌædəˈlɛsəns/

Come esercitarsi con questo video

  2. Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
  3. Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come psychologist, marry, goodbye.

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.
