Hi everyone and welcome back to the 5-Minute English Practice.
2
I'm Jessica and today we're talking about bad habits.
3
Why we have them, how they affect our lives,
4
and how we can change them.
5
And guess what?
6
I'm not alone today.
7
We have a special guest.
8
Peter.
9
Hi Peter.
10
Welcome to the show.
11
Hi Jessica.
12
Hi everyone.
13
I'm excited to be here.
14
Although I'm not sure how excited I am to talk about my bad habits.
15
Don't worry, we all have them.
16
Today we'll explore them together.
17
So Peter, let's start simple.
18
What do you think a bad habit is?
19
Hmm.
20
I think a bad habit is something we do again and again,
21
even though we know it's not good for us.
22
For example, biting nails, staying up late,
23
or being on the phone too much.
24
Right.
25
A bad habit is usually something small,
26
but if we do it every day,
27
it can affect our health, mood, or productivity.
28
Some habits are physical, like eating too much junk food.
29
Others are mental, like overthinking or procrastinating.
30
Yes, procrastinating.
31
I think that one belongs to me.
32
You're not alone.
33
Many people struggle with that.
34
Let's talk about some of the most common bad habits.
35
Peter, what's one bad habit you often see around you?
36
Honestly?
37
Scrolling social media for too long.
38
Sometimes I pick up my phone just to check something quickly.
39
And suddenly an hour has passed.
40
Absolutely.
41
Social media apps are designed to keep people scrolling.
42
Another common bad habit is staying up late, even when we're tired.
43
Yes.
44
I often tell myself, okay, I'll sleep at 11.
45
But then I watch one more video and suddenly it's 1 a.m.
46
Same here sometimes.
47
Other common habits include skipping breakfast,
48
eating too much sugar, checking the phone first thing in the morning,
49
not drinking enough water, being late.
50
Oh no. I think I just realized I have at least three of those.
51
Don't worry, Peter.
52
This is a safe space.
53
All right, Peter.
54
Be honest with us.
55
What's your worst bad habit?
56
Okay.
57
I'll share it.
58
My worst bad habit is procrastination.
59
I always say, I'll do it later.
60
Whether it's work, laundry, or answering emails.
61
Later, later, later.
62
How does that affect you?
63
Well, I end up feeling stressed.
64
For example, if I have a project due on Friday,
65
I don't do anything until Thursday night.
66
Then I panic, drink three coffees,
67
and sleep at 3 a.m.
68
That sounds stressful but relatable.
69
It really is.
70
The funny thing is, I know it's bad,
71
but I keep doing it.
72
That's the thing with habits.
73
They're automatic.
74
We do them without thinking.
75
So why do bad habits happen?
76
Well, there are a few reasons.
77
Bad habits sometimes feel good or easy,
78
like eating snacks or watching videos.
79
When we're stressed, we look for quick comfort.
80
If we repeat something many times,
81
our brain gets used to it.
82
Procrastination happens when we're avoiding something difficult or boring.
83
That makes sense.
84
I procrastinate because starting something difficult feels uncomfortable.
85
Exactly.
86
But understanding the reason is the first step to changing it.
87
Let's talk about solutions.
88
Peter, have you tried to break any of your bad habits?
89
Yes.
90
Recently, I tried a rule called the two-minute rule.
91
If something takes less than two minutes, just do it immediately.
92
Like sending a quick reply or washing a cup.
93
That's a great strategy.
94
Here are a few more tips for breaking bad habits.
95
1. Make the habit difficult.
96
For example, if you want to scroll less,
97
put your phone in another room.
98
2. Replace the habit.
99
Instead of eating chips, eat fruit.
100
Instead of scrolling at night,
101
Read a few pages in a book.
102
3. Start small.
103
You don't need to change everything at once.
104
Sleep 15 minutes earlier, drink one more glass of water, etc. 4.
105
Track your progress.
106
Seeing your improvement motivates you.
107
I tried replacing my night scrolling with listening to calming music.
108
It actually helps me sleep faster.
109
That's a good replacement habit.
110
it.
111
Before we end today's episode, here's an important reminder.
112
Everyone has bad habits.
113
What matters is not being perfect,
114
but being aware and improving slowly.
115
Yes, and don't be too hard on yourself.
116
Change takes time.
117
Thank you so much, Peter, for joining us today.
118
Thanks for having me.
119
This was fun.
120
And also a little eye-opening.
121
Same here.
122
And thank you listeners for spending your time with us.

練習のヒント
このビデオのスピードとトーンを意識しながら、英語シャドーイングに取り組んでみましょう。まずは、shadowspeakを使って、話し手の言葉を声に出して繰り返します。リズムとイントネーションをしっかりと捉えながら練習することで、英語の発音を良くすることができます。初めは遅めに繰り返し、慣れてきたら徐々にスピードを上げると効果的です。自分の声を録音して、発音やトーンをチェックすることもお勧めです。
また、質問を自分に投げかけることで、考えを深めることができます。「自分にはどんな悪習慣があるだろうか？それをどうやって改善できるか？」といったことを問いかけながら練習を続けることで、より実践的な会話能力が身につくでしょう。
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。
