Hello, I'm Neil.
4
Welcome to 6 Minute English.
5
I'm joined today by Finn.
6
Hello, Finn.
7
Hello, Neil.
8
Now, I have a question for you.
9
OK.
10
What age did you leave home?
11
I left home at 18, Neil.
12
That's quite young, isn't it?
13
Why did you leave home?
14
Well, I really wanted to see more of the world.
15
Interesting.
16
Well, we could say that was the end of your childhood and the beginning of your adulthood.
17
It's a time when you begin to stand on your own two feet.
18
You mean it's when I started to be independent, to look after myself and act like a grown -up.
19
Well, maybe.
20
A bit like a grown -up.
21
Yes, it's when you're supposed to think and act like a man.
22
Yes.
23
Well, according to some experts, the age when adulthood begins could be increasing.
24
I'll tell you more about that soon and we'll look at some vocabulary as well to do with growing up.
25
But before that, I have another question for you, Finn.
26
In England, people can get married without asking their parent or without consent at the age of 18.
27
Do you know what the youngest age is men can legally marry in Bangladesh?
28
OK.
29
Is it A, 15, B, 18 or C, 21?
30
I honestly have no idea.
31
So I'll say be 18.
32
OK, I'll let you know the answer at the end of the programme.
33
Back now to our discussion about the age we really become an adult.
34
Leaving home or getting married could be some of the signs of maturity and becoming a grown -up.
35
There are many other signs too, but certainly in the UK, people regard 18 as the age when we reach the end of adolescence,
36
– a point where you've changed from being a child to being an adult.
37
You should, in theory, think and behave like one.
38
Well, that is the theory.
39
We know that people develop at different speeds and some never grow up.
40
I'm sure we know people like that.
41
One or two.
42
But child psychologists – the people who study how children behave – now think adolescents could last until the age of 25.
43
Twenty -five is when they stop being an adolescent.
44
Medical and educational professionals now have a better understanding of how our hormones, the chemicals in our body, develop and how our brain works.
45
They say that we keep developing into our twenties.
46
A child psychologist called Laverne Antrobus, who works at the Tavistock Clinic in London,
47
appeared in a BBC magazine article recently and said the idea
48
that suddenly at 18 you're an adult just doesn't quite ring true.
49
My experience of young people is that they still need quite a considerable amount of support and help beyond that age.
50
So she says the idea that we become an adult at 18 doesn't ring true.
51
That means it doesn't sound true.
52
Young people need help and support until they're older.
53
She also suggests that some young people continue to live at home because they need more support during these formative years,
54
the time when you are growing up.
55
Well, that might be true for some, but I was ready to leave home at 18.
56
I was bored at home and ready for my freedom.
57
I know the feeling.
58
Well, in the same BBC article, Frank Furedi, professor of sociology at the University of Kent,
59
thinks what you did is a good thing he says there's a loss of aspiration for independence
60
and striking out on your own
61
when I went to university
62
it would have been a social death to have been seen with your parents whereas now it's the norm
63
so he thinks living at home makes you lose the aspiration
64
or the desire to be independent and he says in his day it would have been social death death,
65
so embarrassing to be seen by others to live at home.
66
And I think he's saying living at home stops you growing up quickly.
67
Does this mean we're developing a generation of big babies?
68
Well, maybe not, Neil.
69
But this is an interesting subject.
70
Could it be we're mollycoddling young people for longer?
71
That means protecting them and looking after them.
72
Yes, or it could be that young people are living at home for longer for economic reasons, they can't afford to leave home.
73
Or maybe there is some truth in the idea that it takes longer for us to grow up.
74
I think I'll go with that theory.
75
That.. would explain your juvenile behaviour, Finn.
76
Oh, come on!
77
Now, let's find out if you got today's question right.
78
Earlier I asked you if you knew what the youngest age a man can legally marry in Bangladesh is.
79
I said 18, I think, Neil.
80
That was option B.
81
Mm -hm.
82
You were wrong.
83
Oh, no. It was option C.
84
21. Apparently it's 21 for men, 18 for women.
85
Now, Finn, could you remind us of some of the growing -up -related words that we heard today?
86
Yes, we heard adulthood, stand on your own two feet,
87
maturity, adolescence, psychologists,
88
Thank you.
89
We hope you've enjoyed today's programme.

  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: marry /ˈmæɹi/, adolescent /ˌæd.əˈlɛs.ənt/, whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, adolescence /ˌædəˈlɛsəns/
  • /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: goodbye /ɡʊdˈbaɪ/, legally /ˈliːɡəli/, youngest /ˈjʌŋ.ɡɪst/, regard /ɹɪˈɡɑːd/

  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als psychologist, adulthood, marry.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
