2
The Limits of Lying.
3
Lying is a part of human nature, but how far will people go?
4
Psychologist Dan Ariely became interested in dishonesty about 15 years ago.
5
During a long-distance flight, he came across an IQ test in a magazine.
6
He answered the first question and checked the answer key to see if he got it right.
7
He then took a quick look at the next answer before looking back at the quiz.
8
He continued in this way through the whole test.
9
Not surprisingly, he scored very well.
10
When I finished, I thought, I cheated myself, he says.
11
So why did he do it?
12
Presumably, I wanted to know how smart I am, but I also wanted to prove I'm this smart to myself.
13
The experience led Ariely to develop a lifelong interest in the study of lying and other forms of dishonesty.
14
To find out more about lying habits, Ariely developed a series of studies known as the Matrix Experiments.
15
In the experiments, volunteers completed a test with 20 simple math problems.
16
They were given five minutes to solve as many as they could.
17
For each correct answer, they were told they would receive a sum of money.
18
When the time was up, the volunteers counted the number of problems they solved correctly.
19
They were then asked to destroy their answer sheets in a shredder.
20
After reporting their own test scores, they were paid accordingly.
21
However, there was something the volunteers didn't know.
22
Their answer sheets were never actually destroyed by comparing actual test
23
scores to reported scores arieli's research team found out how many volunteers lied
24
and how much they lied by the results of the 40 000 people who participated in the experiment nearly 70
25
percent lied about their test score.
26
On average volunteers said they solved six problems but it was closer to four.
27
The results are similar across different cultures.
28
Most of us lie but only a little.
29
The question Ariely finds most interesting is not why
30
so many of us lie but rather why we don't lie a lot more.
31
In one version of the experiment participants were offered significantly more money for each correct answer.
32
However, this did not cause them to cheat more.
33
Here we give people a chance to steal lots of money and people cheat only a little bit.
34
So something stops us, most of us, from not lying all the way, Ariely says.
35
The reason, he believes, is that we want to see ourselves as honest
36
because honesty is a value taught to us by society.
37
This is why most of us place limits on how much we lie.
38
We may be able to come up with an excuse for taking post-it notes from an office fairly easily.
39
But it is much more difficult to come up with an excuse for taking $10,000," Ariely explains.
40
The extent of our lying is determined largely by what is acceptable by society.
41
Cheating is easier, he says, when we can justify our behavior.

Prime impressioni: perché questo video è ottimo per parlare inglese

Questo video su Dan Ariely e le ricerche sul mentire è un materiale eccellente per migliorare la pronuncia inglese e la fluidità. La lingua è chiara, con frasi di lunghezza media e un tono conversazionale, perfetto per esercitarsi a imitare l'intonazione e il ritmo. Inoltre, affronta un argomento interessante che stimola la riflessione, rendendo il practice più coinvolgente. Ideale per il shadowing in inglese, poiché combina contenuto accattivante con una pronuncia comprensibile.

Analizziamo: frasi naturali da imitare

  • "Lying is a part of human nature, but how far will people go?": La struttura "but how far will..." crea una domanda intrigante, con un accento sulla parola "far" che dà enfasi. Imitarla aiuta a capire come usare le domande retoriche per coinvolgere l'ascoltatore.
  • "Presumably, I wanted to know how smart I am, but I also wanted to prove I'm this smart to myself.": L'uso di "presumably" e "but I also" rende la frase naturale e spontanea. La ripetizione di "wanted to" mostra come connettere due idee senza interruzioni, fondamentale per una conversazione fluida.
  • "The reason, he believes, is that we want to see ourselves as honest because honesty is a value taught to us by society.": La struttura "The reason... is that..." è comunissima in inglese per spiegare cause. L'inserimento di "he believes" rende la frase più colloquiale, evitando il tono troppo formale. Ottima per esercitare la connessione tra idee complesse.

Routine di practice: repeat-and-record per il shadowing

Per sfruttare al massimo il video, prova questa routine: 1) Ascolta un frammento di 5-10 secondi e ripetilo immediatamente, cercando di imitare l'intonazione e il tempo di pausa (tecnica del shadow speech). 2) Registrati mentre ripeti: confronta la tua registrazione con l'originale per notare differenze nella pronuncia e nel ritmo. 3) Ripeti il processo per lo stesso frammento finché non ti senti a tuo agio. 4) Passa a un frammento più lungo, unendo i pezzi. Questo metodo, noto anche come shadowspeak, aiuta a migliorare la pronuncia inglese e la capacità di rispondere in tempo reale. Ricorda: la chiave è la costanza, anche 10 minuti al giorno fanno la differenza!

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.
