Hello Beth, how are you?
6
I'm very well, thank you.
7
How are you, Neil?
8
I'm very happy.
9
The sun is shining today.
10
It is.
11
It's a beautiful day.
12
What are we talking about?
13
Today we're talking about our childhoods.
14
So, we'll talk about life, how it was, what our lives were like when we were children.
15
How interesting.
16
Let's get started.
17
So Neil, what do you remember most about your childhood?
18
Well, it was such a long time ago.
19
But I can remember things, obviously, quite clearly.
20
I lived in a different country when I was a child.
21
Where did you live?
22
I lived in Canada until I was 10 years old.
23
So I can remember very hot, humid summers, but very long and very cold and snowy winters.
24
So you always made snowmen, I guess, and had snowball fights.
25
Yes, we always had a white Christmas, which is great.
26
And I don't think I've ever had a white Christmas in England, not in the south of England.
27
Well, I moved house, or my family moved house, when I was 10.
28
So,
29
I feel like a slightly similar thing where all of my childhood memories really are in this house and playing with my friends that lived in that village and went to my primary school when I lived in that house, having friends over for tea.
30
That's a lot of strong memories of my childhood.
31
And what kind of things did you do when you were a child?
32
What kind of hobbies and interests did you have?
33
Well, my friends and I used to always put on shows.
34
We would do gymnastics shows in the garden.
35
We'd say, Mum, Dad, come and watch my gymnastics show with my friend.
36
We used to do singing concerts we wrote our own songs once um my friend and i recorded onto a tape do
37
you remember tapes of course i remember tapes we recorded our own song onto a tape and we sent it to a recording
38
studio in the hope that they would sign us is it a good song it's great i think we need to hear it maybe at the end of the show um what about you what sort of hobbies
39
did you have when you were a child?
40
I just remember playing outside a lot with my friends and having adventures and also doing lots and lots of sport.
41
So I always liked football and cricket and I played, when I was in Canada, I played ice hockey.
42
Ah, that's cool.
43
Can you still ice skate?
44
I'm okay.
45
I'd say I'm better than most British people because you grow up in Canada skating.
46
Yeah.
47
But I'm not brilliant.
48
How do you think the world has changed since you were a child?
49
The world is really different from when I was a child because when I was growing up, we didn't have the internet or mobile phones.
50
And I think they've made such a difference to the way people communicate with each other.
51
And it drives me mad sometimes because my son would try to arrange to go out with his friends just to go to the park in a group chat.
52
And then nothing ever happens.
53
And I just say, just go there.
54
Yeah.
55
It's 100 metres down the road.
56
Knock the door.
57
But I don't think that happens anymore.
58
No, I think for me, like something that's really changed is like I was saying about tapes,
59
like the idea of playing a tape or putting a CD in a CD player like brings back amazing
60
memories I used to have a CD that I would play and then I'd sing really loudly and I would imagine that then suddenly the band would be in the garden
61
and they would and they'd be there singing with me.
62
But I think those physical music devices, even like having a video or a DVD, like they bring back loads of memories for me.
63
Let's recap the language we heard in our conversation about childhood.
64
starting with childhood, which is the period of time when you are a child.
65
We had memory.
66
A memory is something that you can remember from the past.
67
We can say that something brings back memories, which just means that it reminds you of something that happened in the past.
68
And when we talk about things in the past, we often use the past simple.
69
For example, I said that I played in the street with my friends.
70
And we also heard used to and would, which is used when we talk about things that happened a number of times in the past.
71
So, for example, I used to play ice hockey.
72
It means I played ice hockey a lot and now I don't anymore.
73
And that's it for this episode of Real Easy English.
74
Why not test what you've learnt with the worksheet on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
75
Thanks for joining us and goodbye.
76
Bye.

Perché praticare la conversazione con questo video?

Questo video offre un'opportunità unica per imparare l'inglese con YouTube, poiché presenta conversazioni autentiche in inglese facile. L'argomento della nostra infanzia è universale e permette di connettersi con esperienze personali. Parlando di ricordi d'infanzia, gli ascoltatori possono praticare l'inglese in un contesto significativo, rendendo l'apprendimento più coinvolgente. Iniziare una conversazione su un tema personale come la propria infanzia aiuta a sviluppare la fiducia nella lingua parlata. Utilizzando shadowing in inglese, gli studenti possono imitare il parlato naturale dei presentatori, migliorando la loro fluidità e pronuncia.

Grammatica ed Espressioni nel Contesto

Nel video, ci sono diverse strutture grammaticali chiave che dicono molto sulle conversazioni quotidiane. Ecco alcune delle più rilevanti:

  • Imperfetto e passato semplice: Frasi come "I lived in Canada" mostrano come descrivere situazioni passate.
  • Domande aperte: Domande come "What do you remember most about your childhood?" incoraggiano risposte più elaborate.
  • Espressioni di opinione: Frasi come "I think they've made such a difference" aiutano a esprimere pensieri personali, essenziale per conversazioni dinamiche.
  • Uso di "used to": L'espressione "We used to put on shows" è utile per parlare di abitudini passate.

Comprendendo queste strutture, gli studenti possono integrare meglio le loro competenze linguistiche nelle conversazioni quotidiane.

Trappole di Pronuncia Comuni

Durante il video, ci sono alcune parole e frasi che potrebbero risultare difficili da pronunciare per gli studenti di inglese:

  • Gymnastics: La pronuncia di questo termine può causare confusione; è importante praticarlo per migliorare la chiarezza.
  • Adventures: La combinazione di suoni può rendere questa parola complicata; ripetere il termine può aiutare nell’assimilazione.
  • Canada: Anche se è familiare, l'accento e la velocità di pronuncia possono influenzare la comprensione; è utile fare shadow speech su questa parola.

Utilizzando tecniche come shadowspeaks e praticando l'shadowing site ottimale, gli studenti migliorano la loro capacità di pronuncia attraverso l'ascolto attivo e la ripetizione.

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.
