You ready?
6
So today, I'm going to talk about teenagers.
7
This is a really relevant topic because all of us were teenagers once, or if you're really young, you'll be a teenager at some point.
8
We're going to talk about some of the good things about being a teenager and some of the not so good things.
9
Before we get to the cons, let's kick things off with the pros.
10
The first positive thing about being a teenager is that you're on your way to becoming an adult.
11
This goes without saying, but kids normally dream about being grown up.
12
As a kid, I'd constantly daydream about what life was going to be like as an adult.
13
Of course, as a teenager, you're not quite there yet, but you can see it approaching.
14
Adulthood starts seeming like a reality and not just some distant future idea.
15
It's pretty exciting, right?
16
Another cool thing about being a teenager is learning new things.
17
As kids, a lot of concepts or ideas are beyond our grasp, but as we get a little older, we start to understand these things.
18
For example, teenagers can delve deeper into subjects like economics, business, sociology, and tons of other things.
19
I remember that I first started learning about government and politics during my teenage years.
20
I also remember my writing skills improving a lot when I was at that age.
21
And even now, when I look back on some of my old writing, I don't find it that bad.
22
How about you?
23
Do you feel like you learned a lot as a teenager?
24
Another positive thing that results from adolescence is that you get stronger physically.
25
To be honest, this is one of my favorite things about getting older.
26
I started hitting the weights when I was about 16 and I became obsessed with working out.
27
This is a phase that a lot of teenagers go through during their last couple years of high school.
28
I was fascinated by the fact that I was able to lift more and more weight and that I could get bigger and stronger.
29
This is every boy's dream, right?
30
Nowadays, I'm not that big and strong anymore and I can barely find the motivation to do a home workout a few times a week.
31
Okay, one more positive thing about being a teenager is that you can start driving.
32
Of course, in most countries you can't drive until you're about 18 or so, but in the US you can get your license when you're 16.
33
And not only that, but you can also get your driving permit when you're only 15 and a half, just like I did.
34
When you have your permit, you're allowed to drive with your parents in the car, which is still cool considering the fact that you're not even 16 yet.
35
One of the most memorable days of my youth was the first day I drove to school in my own car after I got my license.
36
I thought I was the coolest kid in the world.
37
Alright, let's talk briefly about a few of the negative aspects of being a teenager.
38
First and foremost, puberty.
39
Anyone who's gone through puberty knows that most of the time it's not fun.
40
Your body changes, your voice changes, a bunch of things change.
41
And for me, the absolute worst part of puberty was having acne.
42
I'm sure a lot of you had acne or still have it.
43
I still have acne even though I'm a full-grown man.
44
This is definitely one of the most annoying things about puberty.
45
Another negative thing about being a teenager is the academic pressure.
46
When you're in high school, everyone tells you that these are the most important years academically speaking.
47
If you don't get good grades and if you don't get good scores on the standardized tests you can't get into a good college.
48
Teenagers are well aware of this and it can take its toll on them.
49
One last thing that could be a negative for some teenagers is figuring out what they want to do in life.
50
Many adolescents have no idea what kind of career they want because they haven't really had any experience working in any field.
51
I changed my mind a few times about what I wanted to do and many of my friends did too.
52
It can be stressful for a teenager to think about this stuff.
53
Okay, now I'm going to ask you three questions about today's video to check your comprehension.
54
Write your answers in a comment down below.
55
Number one, how old was I when I started going to the gym?
56
Number two, at what age can you get your driver's license in the U.S.?
57
And number three, what happens if you get bad grades in high school?
58

I'll see you next time!

이 레슨에 대해

"B1 English Listening Practice - Teenagers"으로 쉐도잉 기법을 사용해 영어를 연습합니다.

매일 15~30분 꾸준히 연습하면 IELTS 스피킹에 대한 자신감이 길러집니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
