6 Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com Hello,
2
this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Phil.
4
And I'm Georgie.
5
Now, you probably know the word well-being.
6
It's a general feeling of health and happiness.
7
But have you ever heard of flourishing?
8
It's an idea which Claudia Hammond has been investigating for BBC Radio 4 programme All In The Mind.
9
I wonder if you all feel that you are flourishing in life.
10
This is another psychological buzzword with added evidence.
11
Now if you've not heard that term before it's not just about well-being it's about your whole life being good.
12
Flourishing is a psychological buzzword,
13
a word or phrase that has become fashionable and is being used a lot,
14
especially on television and in newspapers.
15
People who are flourishing feel good about all aspects of their life including happiness,
16
health, relationships and financial security.
17
Do you feel you're flourishing, Georgie?
18
Yeah, I think I'm quite lucky actually.
19
I really like my job,
20
I have a good family and friends.
21
Yeah, everything's going well.
22
What about you, Phil?
23
I think the same.
24
I think I'm happy and I've got everything I need.
25
Lovely.
26
In this episode, we'll hear about the Global Flourishing Study,
27
a new survey into the lives of over 200,000 people in 22 countries.
28
We'll learn some useful new words and phrases.
29
And remember, you'll find all this episode's vocabulary on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
30
Yes, but first, Phil, I have a question for you about the Global Flourishing Study.
31
In terms of overall flourishing,
32
which country do you think came out on top?
33
Was it a Indonesia, b Denmark or c Brazil?
34
Ooh, I'm going to guess B.
35
Denmark, I think.
36
OK, Phil.
37
Well, we'll find out the correct answer later in the programme.
38
Now, the study investigated six areas of life,
39
including health, finances, social relationships and religion.
40
Let's listen as Claudia Hammond discusses some of the findings with
41
psychologist Dr Peter Olosaga for BBC Radio 4's All In The Mind.
42
What were the most interesting nuggets there?
43
You've been diving into it.
44
Some of the sort of headlines were high-income countries,
45
so Sweden, the USA for example,
46
scored higher on some of the more material aspects of flourishing,
47
so things like finance.
48
Middle-income countries, so Mexico for example,
49
scored more highly on things like meaning of relationships and kindness and social cohesion.
50
Claudia asks about the study's most interesting nuggets.
51
A nugget means a small piece of something good,
52
like wisdom, or precious, like a nugget of gold.
53
While richer countries scored higher on material happiness,
54
middle-income countries did better in terms of kindness and social connection.
55
There were interesting differences between men and women.
56
For example, in Japan, women flourished more than men,
57
while in Brazil the opposite was true.
58
And across all countries, flourishing increased after the age of 50.
59
So, does flourishing depend on your nationality?
60
Or are there things anyone can do to feel happier wherever they live?
61
Let's find out, as Claudia Hammond talks more with Peter Olasaga for BBC Radio 4's All In The Mind.
62
So what can any of us do to help ourselves to flourish?
63
That's the big question.
64
Well there's a few things that we can do and they are supported by research as well.
65
So things that are as simple as just practicing gratitude,
66
being thankful for what we have is a way of increasing the amount of flourishing we have in our lives,
67
showing kindness which helps us to develop connection with other people and just celebrating our own accomplishments.
68
I think we've spoken on the program before about savouring.
69
Oh yeah we have, savouring those good moments.
70
Exactly, just taking the time to really appreciate some of those those small wins.
71
Claudia asks the big question.
72
In other words, the thing everyone would like to know – how do people flourish?
73
There are simple things anyone can do,
74
starting with gratitude, feeling thankful and appreciative for what you have.
75
Being kind and connecting with others are also indicators of flourishing.
76
The study also recommends savouring life.
77
To savour means to fully enjoy something by experiencing it slowly and mindfully.
78
It involves taking time out to enjoy good moments,
79
to stop and smell the roses, as we say.
80
This links to the phrase,
81
small wins, minor achievements or successes which bring you a little closer to your long-term goals in life.
82
There's an old saying – a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.
83
And savouring each small win along the way is vital to flourishing.
84
Flourishing seems to be a big new idea – in some countries at least – which reminds me of your question, Georgie.
85
Phil, I asked you in the Global Flourishing Study which country came out on top?
86
And the options were Indonesia, Denmark or Brazil.
87
And I said Denmark.
88
Which, Phil, I'm afraid that is the wrong answer.
89
The correct answer is Indonesia.
90
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned,
91
starting with buzzword, a word or expression on a certain topic that has become fashionable and much used.
92
A nugget is a small piece of something good or precious,
93
such as a nugget of gold or a nugget of wisdom.
94
The big question is the thing everyone would like to know.
95
Gratitude means being thankful for what you have.
96
If you savour something, you enjoy something as much as possible by experiencing it slowly.
97
And finally, small wins are minor successes which contribute to a larger life goal.
98
Once again, our six minutes are up.
99

このビデオは、BBC Learning English の「6 Minute English」シリーズの一環として提供されています。ホストのフィルとジョージーは、私たちの生活における「フローリッシング（栄えていること）」という概念について話しています。フローリッシングは、単なる「良好な健康や幸福感」を超えた、人生全体の質を表す重要な心理学的用語です。この概念に関する調査は、22か国の200,000人以上を対象に行われた「グローバルフローリッシングスタディ」に基づいています。この研究を通じて、私たちがどれだけ豊かな生活を送れているか、またその要素について深く探求します。

段階的シャドーイングガイド
このビデオの内容をシャドーイングで効果的に学ぶためのステップバイステップガイドを以下に示します。まず、シャドースピーキング（shadow speak）を行うためには、各セクションを少しずつ聞き、声に出して繰り返すことが重要です。このプロセスは、IELTS スピーキング対策にも非常に有効です。
- まず、ビデオを通して全体を聞きます。テーマや内容を全体的に把握しましょう。
- 次に、フレーズや単語の意味を確認します。特に「well-being」や「flourishing」といった重要な用語についての理解を深めましょう。
- 短いセクションごとに繰り返し聞き、それに続いて自分の声で再現します。この時、自分の発音やリズムに注目してください。
- 自分が理解できたフレーズをノートに取り、日常会話に役立てましょう。
- 最後に、定期的に練習を続けることで、流暢さを改善します。シャドーイングサイトを活用して、より多くの素材を見つけることもおすすめです。
このようにして、shadowspeakを使った練習を重ねていくことで、英語のスピーキング能力を効果的に向上させることができます。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
