This is 6 Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com Hello, I'm Rob.
2
Welcome to 6 Minute English.
3
I'm joined today by Finn.
4
Hello, Finn.
5
Hi, Rob.
6
You know, I'm happy you called me to present this programme with you
7
because I was there by my desk feeling a bit bored.
8
Great yawn, Finn.
9
Yeah.
10
Now, yawn, of course, is a typical reaction of someone who is bored.
11
Yeah, it's when you open your mouth wide and take some air in and slowly out.
12
OK, well, let's make this programme all about boredom, shall we?
13
And I'll start by stimulating your imagination.
14
Thank you, but how are you going to make me excited and interested in something, Rob?
15
OK, well, how about I challenge you to a question that you might not know the answer to?
16
OK, well, you can try.
17
OK, well I know you like the theatre.
18
I do, but it has to be an exciting play or I get restless.
19
Restless, you mean unable to sit still because you get bored or worried even.
20
OK, well I wonder how you'd feel watching the longest continuous play recorded?
21
Well that's quite an offer.
22
What do you mean?
23
Well, according to the Guinness Book of Records,
24
the longest continuous dramatic performance was held in New Jersey in the US in 2010.
25
But do you know how long the cast for the Bald Soprano by Eugene Ionesco was on stage four?
26
Was it for about...
27
A. Eight hours?
28
B. Seventeen hours?
29
Or C.
30
Twenty-three hours?
31
Wow, they're all pretty long.
32
I'll say B.
33
Seventeen hours, Rob.
34
Goodness, right.
35
OK, well, I'll let you know the answer at the end of the programme.
36
Now let's talk more about boredom.
37
I think this is a feeling we have to learn how to cope with.
38
Yes, we have to learn to deal with this situation successfully,
39
to cope with it.
40
But people often feel they want to change their life,
41
to change their job.
42
They might feel stuck in a rut.
43
That's a good phrase, stuck in a rut.
44
So you mean you have become too fixed in one kind of job.
45
Yes, you know, Rob, even I sometimes dream of something a bit more exciting,
46
like being a professional diver or maybe even a pilot of a really fast plane.
47
Well, guess what?
48
Even pilots get bored, you know.
49
Not when they're flying anyway.
50
Wrong.
51
When they're up in the air.
52
No way, really.
53
I don't believe you.
54
Well, Missy Cummings, an American, was a fighter pilot.
55
Listen to the phrasal verb she uses,
56
meaning to stop being bored at least for a while.
57
Is there ever time for a fighter pilot to get bored?
58
Oh, my gosh, sure.
59
For the same reasons that commercial pilots get bored.
60
These fighter jets are very automated when it comes to just holding altitude and heading.
61
So you'd turn everything on autopilot.
62
And I probably listened to more Oprah Winfrey TV shows on the high-frequency radios
63
and so you get good about using the technology to figure out how to stave off that boredom.
64
Ah, so she listened to a show hosted by the American presenter Oprah Winfrey on the radio to stave off her boredom.
65
Now to stave off means to stop or to keep an unpleasant feeling away.
66
In this case she means boredom.
67
Yes indeed.
68
But some experts think there's something good about feeling bored.
69
Really?
70
Let's hear what Tiffany Watt-Smith has to say.
71
She works for the Centre for the History of Emotions at the Queen Mary University of London.
72
Pay attention to the word she uses to describe what boredom does to people.
73
On the one hand people are worried about being under-occupied and bored.
74
On the other, there is a set of anxieties about us not having any more downtime.
75
You know, we can constantly check our phones at the bus stop.
76
Everything is to be filled and what does that do to our minds?
77
I think boredom is a very useful emotion.
78
It's an emotion which spurs people on to change something about their environment.
79
If you're bored, it gives rise to creativity.
80
So boredom spurs people on to change something.
81
Now, to spur on means to stimulate or to encourage someone to do something.
82
So what are you going to do, Finn?
83
How will you change your life?
84
Change my life?
85
OK, two things.
86
The first one is...
87
I want to know if I got that question right.
88
Well, I said at the beginning of the programme
89
that the longest continuous dramatic performance was held in New Jersey US in 2010.
90
And I asked you, how long was the cast on stage for to play the bald soprano by Eugene Ionesco?
91
Yes, the options were 8 hours,
92
17 hours and 23 hours, I think.
93
And I said 17.
94
Was I right?
95
You were not.
96
Oh no. It was even longer.
97
Oh wow.
98
OK, according to the Guinness Book of Records,
99
yes, the play lasted 23 hours,
100
33 minutes and 54 seconds.
101
It was achieved by the 27 o'clock players who performed The Bald Soprano at Belmar,
102
New Jersey, USA on the 27th of July 2010.
103
Anyway, Finn, what's the second thing you're going to do to stave off your boredom?
104
You know what, Rob?
105
I'm going to book myself a fantastic holiday.
106
Maybe I could start with a visit to Patagonia in Argentina to see the penguins.
107
Sounds very exciting.
108
But before you head off to Patagonia,
109
could you remind us of some of the English words we've heard today?
110
We heard yawn, stimulating, restless,
111
to cope with, stuck in a rut,
112
to stave off, to spur on.
113
Thanks, Finn.
114
That's it for this programme.
115
I hope you didn't find it boring.
116
Not at all.
117
I loved it!
118
Please join us again soon for another 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
119
Bye-bye!
120
Bye!

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
