Criando lição...
1
Problems.
2
We've all got them.
3
You, me, T -Swift, Tony Stark.
4
Some problems, like forgetting to do your homework, might seem like a pretty big deal to you.
5
But when you compare them to other, bigger problems, they're really not so bad.
6
Like what kind of bigger problems?
7
Well, the kinds of problems engineers face, like how to safely fly hundreds of people through the air in a small vehicle from one country to another
8
or how to make an eco -friendly building in a seaside town
9
that can withstand hurricane -force winds or how to send a bunch of earth -bound humans hurtling off into space and, you know, get them back.
10
That homework doesn't seem like such a big problem anymore, does it?
11
Okay, to be clear, I'm not saying that you don't have to do your homework.
12
If you didn't, it would definitely be a problem, just not as big as, like, having to invent a spaceship.
13
And that's the kind of stuff that engineers do.
14
Engineers are people who want to know how and why things work.
15
Not only that, they actually design and build things like machines, systems, or structures to help solve specific problems.
16
All engineers, whatever type they are, follow the same series of steps when trying to solve a problem.
17
You'll remember these steps as the engineering process.
18
And the first step in that process is defining the problem, when an engineer identifies a problem he or she hopes to solve.
19
But that first step isn't as simple as you think it is.
20
So it's time for our big question.
21
How does an engineer define a problem?
22
Let's come up with a fake problem to solve and we'll see what we wind up with.
23
Pretend you're on one side of a very big canyon and you need to get to the other side.
24
So that's the problem you need to solve, right?
25
How to cross this very big canyon.
26
Sort of, but not exactly.
27
We can do better.
28
If I was an engineer and found myself on one side of that huge canyon, here's how I'd go about identifying the problem.
29
I'd ask questions.
30
A lot of questions.
31
All the questions!
32
Hmm.
33
I need to cross this very big canyon.
34
But is that my actual problem?
35
Hmm.
36
This canyon is very big and I need to get to the other side.
37
I know!
38
I'll cross a bridge!
39
Wait, is there a bridge?
40
Uh, yeah, there's no bridge.
41
Okay, can I climb down one side of the canyon and then up the other side?
42
Uh, definitely not.
43
Way too deep.
44
Plus there's a roaring river at the bottom I'd have to figure out how to cross.
45
So, I can't cross the canyon by bridge, I can't climb down and up, and I can't swim across it.
46
What's something I can do that doesn't require a bridge, climbing, or swimming?
47
I know, I need to find a way to fly across the canyon.
48
And that's my problem.
49
More importantly, that's my solvable problem.
50
How do I fly across this very big canyon?
51
It took a little bit of thinking and a whole lot of questions, but how can you fly across the canyon is an easier problem to address than the much less specific,
52
I'm on one side of a big canyon and I want to get to the other side, and I don't know how to get across it.
53
Which, strictly speaking, isn't a question.
54
It's just complaining about a problem really loudly.
55
So defining the problem in a solvable way is really key to being a good engineer.
56
While that first step might seem pretty easy, make sure you treat it like the super important step that it is, because it sets the stage for all of the steps of the engineering process that follow.
57
If you don't define a potentially solvable problem from the start, you might never, well, solve it.
58
So an engineer asks a lot of questions to define a problem as specifically as they can, and most importantly as something that can be solved.
59
So how is engineer Sabrina going to find a way to fly across that gorge?
60
You're gonna have to solve that problem by watching our next lesson.

Por que praticar fala com esse vídeo?
O vídeo "Defining a Problem" é perfeito para quem quer aprender inglês com vídeos e melhorar a pronúncia em inglês. A linguagem é clara, conversacional e repleta de contextos reais, como problemas do cotidiano e desafios de engenheiros. Isso cria um ambiente ideal para o shadow speak (imitar a fala em tempo real), uma técnica eficaz para aprimorar fluência e entonação. Ao praticar com ele, você não só aprende vocabulário técnico, mas também como estruturar perguntas e respostas de forma natural — essencial para comunicação eficaz.
Gramática e expressões no contexto
Analisando o diálogo, destacamos três estruturas chave:
- "We've all got them": A forma contraída "we've got" é amplamente usada no inglês coloquial para expressar posse. Pratique-a para soar mais natural.
- "How does an engineer define a problem?": Perguntas com "how" são fundamentais para explorar processos. Note a ordem dos termos (auxiliar + sujeito + verbo) para construir perguntas corretas.
- "If you didn't, it would definitely be a problem": Condicionais do tipo 2 (hipóteses irreais no presente) são usadas para discutir consequências. Repita frases como essa para dominar a estrutura.
Armadilhas comuns de pronúncia
Algumas palavras no vídeo podem ser desafiadoras. Veja como evitá-las:
- "Engineers": A pronúncia correta é /ˌɛndʒɪˈnɪrz/ (não "enjinheiros" com sotaque português). Dê ênfase na sílaba "neer".
- "Canyon": Fale /ˈkænjən/ (não "canião"). A sílaba tônica é a primeira, e o "y" soa como "i" curto.
- "Hurricane": A pronúncia é /ˈhʌrɪkən/ (não "huracão"). Note que o "h" é aspirado e o "cane" soa como "ken".
Use essas dicas para o seu shadowing — grave sua voz, compare com o vídeo e ajuste a entonação. Plataformas de shadowing site podem ajudar, mas até mesmo um aplicativo de gravação já funciona. A prática constante é a chave para dominar a pronúncia e a fluência!
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Possibilidade com “might / may” might/may + verbo — algo possível, mas não certo | might seem · might never |
| Obrigação: must / have to / need to dizer que algo é necessário | have to do · having to invent · need to get |
| Futuro com “will” will + verbo — uma decisão, promessa ou previsão | You'll remember · we'll see · I'll cross |
| Present continuous am/is/are + -ing — algo que está acontecendo agora ou nestes dias | I'm not saying · is defining |
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.
