David Strayer never texts or talks on a phone when he is driving.
5
Strayer is a cognitive psychologist at the University of Utah who specializes in attention.
6
His research shows that when driving, using a phone can be as dangerous as drinking alcohol.
7
Strayer and other scientists warn against multitasking
8
When we do many things at the same time Strayer says our brain becomes tired easily We make mistakes
9
and lose focus yet multitasking is increasingly common especially on a phone or computer
10
Dr. Gloria mark a digital media researcher has found
11
that people in the United States switch tasks on their computers
12
566 times a day this type of multitasking is especially common among teenagers on average a teenager spends between seven
13
and eleven hours a day in front of a screen doing
14
homework texting watching videos often all at the same time phones tablets
15
and laptops are all useful tools and we may feel more productive when we use them.
16
However, when we spend hours on digital devices, constantly switching between activities, our overall productivity decreases.
17
Why?
18
Many digital activities require high levels of concentration.
19
When we text or email someone, for example, or even play games, we have to focus.
20
When we do this, our brain uses energy.
21
When we multitask, which is hard for the brain to do, we use even more energy.
22
Excessive multitasking reduces our ability to think clearly and creatively, and to remember information.
23
This, in turn, can result in stress.
24
What is the best cure for our overstressed minds?
25
David Strayer says the answer is simple.
26
Spend some time in nature.
27
A natural remedy.
28
Strayer and other scientists are studying nature's effect on our brains and bodies.
29
When we are in natural environments, the prefrontal cortex, the brain's control center, relaxes.
30
Studies show that when people can see trees and grass, they are calmer and do better in school.
31
Indeed, people even relax when they look at photos of nature.
32
Consequently, they do better on different cognitive tasks.
33
Other psychologists are also studying nature therapy.
34
In a study at Chiba University in Japan, 84 subjects went for a 15 -minute walk in seven different forests.
35
The same number of people walked around different city centers.
36
Researchers then took blood from each person.
37
The forest walkers had a 16 % decrease in the stress hormone cortisol all.
38
In addition, they had a 2 % drop in blood pressure and a 4 % drop in heart rate.
39
All did better than the city walkers.
40
Lead researcher Yoshifumi Miyazaki has an explanation for these results.
41
Our bodies relax in pleasant natural surroundings, he says.
42
Humans evolved in that environment, not in places with tall buildings and lots of traffic.
43
Psychologist Stephen Kaplan and his colleagues have done similar research.
44
In one study, people took a 50 -minute walk in a public garden.
45
In a test conducted afterwards, their short -term memory improved.
46
When the same people walked on a city street, it did not.
47
Kaplan says it is the visual details in nature, sunsets, streams, butterflies, that reduce stress and mental fatigue.
48
We enjoy them without having to concentrate on them.
49
This allows our brains to rest and recover from the stresses of modern life.
50
Imagine a therapy that was readily available and could improve your cognitive functioning at zero cost, Kaplan says.
51
It exists.
52
It's called interacting with nature.

Per chi è questo video?

Questo video è perfetto per gli studenti di inglese a livello intermedio che vogliono migliorare la comprensione auditiva e approfondire temi attuali come la multitasking e l'importanza della natura. Ideale per chi cerca di integrare la lingua con concetti scientifici e vuole esercitarsi nella shadowing, una tecnica efficace per rafforzare la pronuncia e la fluidità.

Parole e modi di dire da rubare

  • Addicted to Distraction: "Ammaliato/a dalle distrazioni" – un titolo accattivante per descrivere l'ossessione per i dispositivi digitali.
  • Multitasking: "Multitasking" (mantenuto in inglese, ma usato spesso in italiano) – l'atto di fare più cose contemporaneamente.
  • Natural remedy: "Rimedio naturale" – soluzione semplice e legata alla natura per i problemi di stress.
  • Cortisol: "Cortisolo" – ormone dello stress, importante per capire gli studi scientifici.

Come migliorare la pronuncia inglese con questo video

La chiave per una pronuncia corretta è la shadowing (o "shadowspeak"): ascolta una frase del video, pausa e ripetila immediatamente, imitando l'intonazione e il ritmo del speaker. Concentrati su parole come "cognitive" (pronuncia: /ˈkɒɡnɪtɪv/) e "prefrontal cortex" (/ˌpriːˈfrʌntl ˈkɔːrteks/), dove la "c" è spesso soft. Nota come il speaker enfatizza le parole chiave come "dangerous" o "relax", e cerca di riprodurre quell'enfasi. La shadowing in inglese non solo migliora la pronuncia ma anche la comprensione auditiva: fai questo esercizio per 10 minuti al giorno e noterai progressi veloci! Ricorda, la natura è un rimedio per lo stress, ma la pratica costante è il rimedio per una pronuncia impeccabile.

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.
