1
Can you name this man?
2
Anthony Albanese!
3
Do you know who this guy is?
4
Nah, I've got no clue.
5
That's the opposition leader.
6
Do you know who this man is?
7
His name starts with an M, I think.
8
I don't know.
9
What's the name of the celebrity seal that visits Tasmania?
10
Is it Neil the Seal?
11
Neil the Seal.
12
Neil the Seal.
13
Which country hosted the 2026 Pacific Islands Forum?
14
Um...
15
If you find you're not exactly on top of the news, well, you're not alone.
16
Do you keep up with the news?
17
No, I do not.
18
Sometimes, sometimes I do.
19
A lot, actually.
20
I watch all the deep dives.
21
If it pops up on my TikTok or, like, social media.
22
Some adults also don't like watching the news because it is so, well, boring.
23
If I'm at the TV, yes, I watch it.
24
I've never watched it in my life.
25
A recent survey of 1,027 young people aged between 10 and 17 found that young people's news engagement has dropped since 2023.
26
Fewer are following up on news stories they hear about, fewer are following news stories on social media, and fewer are checking news websites or apps.
27
Get your morning paper, Morning Star.
28
There was a time when the news was part of the daily routine.
29
Newspapers at breakfast, the 6 o'clock news at night.
30
Hello there.
31
Then, in the 90s, the internet took off.
32
And the way we consumed our news started to change.
33
That's the sound of the internet, by the way.
34
Over the last decade, social media has been a big source of news, especially for young people.
35
But then this happened.
36
If you're under 16, you're no longer allowed to have a social media account.
37
A significant consequence here is the social media ban.
38
This is Professor Tanya Notley, one of the researchers from the study.
39
She says the social media ban has probably had an impact on news consumption.
40
A lot of the news that young people get on social media is incidental.
41
It's news they weren't looking for it, but they came across it.
42
And that then might lead them looking at other sources because they found out about something.
43
That said, social media is still a pretty popular place to get news, coming in third after family and friends,
44
above-life TV, news websites and radio.
45
Meanwhile, a fairly small but growing number of young people say they're using AI to find out about the news regularly.
46
Like, sometimes we use Google AI to find out something, if it's, like, true or not.
47
I don't know, I just need something quick.
48
I'll just chuck in AI so it gives me the answer.
49
Do you find it reliable, then, for news?
50
Oh, absolutely.
51
I use AI a lot for like housework.
52
For example, like, um, like air fried hash browns are not very crispy, so I like, I try to ask ChatGPT how I can like make them more crispier.
53
So it's very helpful, very helpful.
54
Yeah, but what about the news?
55
Oh, uh, where?
56
So if you type the news into Google, would you trust it?
57
No, no way.
58
The use of AI as a news source has some people worried for a couple of reasons.
59
For starters, people using AI for their news aren't necessarily clicking through to news websites, which means those websites don't get as much traffic, which can rob them of income.
60
Then there are worries about accuracy.
61
Last year, a big study found that AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time, regardless of where you live in the world.
62
Less than half of young people are confident that they can verify information to work out if news is reliable or not.
63
But then when we asked about the steps young people take, most young people are not looking at multiple sources, checking the source is reliable.
64
They're not doing things like a reverse image search
65
or any of these techniques that you might use to check if news is reliable or not.
66
So that is a concern when using generative AI.
67
So I guess the big question is, does any of this matter?
68
Do you need to know about world leaders, regional forums or transient seals?
69
They need to keep up to date with the news because, like, they don't know what's, like, out in the real world if they don't look at the news.
70
You don't want to just be spreading, like, false information to people and telling people, oh, did you hear about this, when it didn't.. might not have even happened.
71
There could also be important stuff, like, if there's danger around that area or something's happening near where they go, to keep them safe.
72
Yeah, it is actually pretty important important for all those reasons.
73
Plus, soon you'll be voting, so it's important to get an understanding of what's happening and how those decisions could affect you.
74
Which is why experts say it's pretty important for people like
75
us to do what we can to get people like you interested in the news.
76
What do you think should be done to make news more engaging for young people?
77
I feel like making it somehow more interesting and engaging.
78
There's not stuff that affects high schoolers
79
or people going from primary to high school there's not enough that's relevant to us to make it interesting.
80
I think more positive local news instead of more international stuff, unless it's really big events.
81
If it still was engaging, I don't think young people would still watch it, because they need that dopamine hit.
82
So, like, Subway Surf is in the bottom.
83
Like, they need that dopamine hit.
84
Yeah, I think if they posted positive things about kids and stuff, it would be like, yeah, I'd watch that more.

TeensDaily ConversationHigh School Students
Il contesto: Come i giovani seguono le notizie oggi
Il video mostra una conversazione tra giovani e adulti su come consumano le notizie, rivelando tendenze come il calo dell'impegno rispetto al 2023 e l'uso crescente di social media e AI. Questo scenario reale è perfetto per imparare l'inglese con i video, poiché riflette situazioni quotidiane e linguaggio colloquiale. Osserva come le frasi come "I've got no clue" o "It pops up on my TikTok" sono usate spontaneamente, ideali per la pratica di conversazione in inglese.
Frasi e collocazioni utili da memorizzare
- Keep up with the news: "Tenersi aggiornato sulle notizie". Esempio: "Do you keep up with the news?"
- Deep dives: "Analisi approfondite". Esempio: "I watch all the deep dives".
- Incidental news: "Notizie casuali". Esempio: "A lot of the news is incidental on social media".
- Chuck in AI: "Usare l'AI". Esempio: "I'll just chuck in AI to get the answer".
- On top of: "A conoscenza di". Esempio: "I'm not exactly on top of the news".
La tua sfida: Shadow speech
Per migliorare la pronuncia e la fluidità, prova il shadow speak: ripeti immediatamente dopo i parlanti nel video, imitando l'intonazione e il ritmo. Scegli un frammento di 30 secondi (es. le domande sulle notizie o le risposte sui social media) e ripetilo 5 volte. Questo esercizio, noto anche come shadowspeaks, aiuta a internalizzare il linguaggio colloquiale e a parlare più naturalmente. Non ti preoccupare di capire ogni parola: focus sulla riproduzione veloce e accurata. Provalo ora e senti la differenza!

| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | I've never watched · has dropped · has been |
| Possibilità con “might / may” might/may + verbo — qualcosa di possibile ma non certo | might lead · might use · might not have |
| Past continuous was/were + -ing — un’azione in corso in un momento del passato | weren't looking · was engaging |
| Present continuous am/is/are + -ing — qualcosa che succede adesso o in questo periodo | are following · they're using · are not looking |
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.
