レッスンを作成中...
1
Selfies.
2
Sick of the word yet?
3
Yes.
4
People share millions of them every day on social media.
5
In fact, one -third of all photos young people take are selfies, but what do they say about self -esteem?
6
How many selfies do you take a day, honestly?
7
Honestly?
8
I'm not ashamed.
9
I take about between 150 and 200 a day.
10
I would have to say at least, like, 700.
11
You take 700 selfies a day?
12
Listen, I have to make sure I get the right angle.
13
Sometimes, you know, everything doesn't translate well on camera, but then to turn around and see, like, oh, my God, my teeth look great, my eyebrows match, this is great.
14
Selfies are a phenomenon, an avalanche, if you will, gaining momentum with each arm extension.
15
The world seems obsessed with taking selfies and posting them online.
16
According to Samsung, selfies will account for almost one -third of all photos taken this year by people between the ages of 25 and 33.
17
But it's not just younger adults.
18
40 -year -old Ayanna Frank is a mother of three.
19
Her family is tired of her selfie habits.
20
They have coined the phrase that I'm the queen of selfies.
21
I don't think I am, but that's what they say.
22
Do I really like myself?
23
I think everybody should.
24
Sometimes it's just fun and it's okay, and then other times I think it might be the person seeking validation from outside.
25
SHE SAYS TOO MANY SELFIES MAY BE AN EXPRESSION OF SOMEONE'S SELF -ESTEAM ISSUES.
26
MAYBE THEY DON'T FEEL GOOD ENOUGH.
27
SOME YOUNG PEOPLE WHO POST SELFIES ARE LIKELY SEEKING ATTENTION, POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND SOCIAL VALIDATION.
28
AND PRATT SAYS THEY MAY BE RELYING TOO MUCH ON THE RESPONSE OF OTHERS.
29
PRATT SAYS THE SELFIE INDULGENCE MAY BE LIKE A DRUG.
30
POSTING SELFIES AND GETTING 300 LIKES,
31
THAT'S NOT REALLY GOING TO LAST FOR YOU because you really didn't do anything to earn it.
32
Psychologist Dr. Romney Durvasala says if more than 50 % of your photos are selfies and you're using filters frequently, those are red flags.
33
More and more studies are showing this.
34
More time spent on social media sites negatively affects people's self -esteem.
35
That can make a person less able to cope, more likely to have anxiety, depression, that sort of thing.
36
The best way to deal with a selfie obsession?
37
Pratt says, put this away.
38
Go outside.
39
Talk to people.
40
Have real relationships.
41
The old -fashioned ways of doing that are to have relationships with people in the community and friends and co -workers.
42
Pratt says if this is a big source of your socializing
43
or if posting online pictures of yourself and obsessing over others' photos is taking up a lot of your time, it's a problem.
44
Or maybe it's just kind of showing off and for some people wanting to make people jealous or, you know, and then that says something about that person
45
that they maybe really don't feel good about themselves deep down and they need that, you know, kind of publicity, I guess, or feedback.

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。
