2
Anyone can be like a superhero.
3
Silly rabbit, tricks are for kids.
4
Hi, I'm Brett.
5
Kids spend a lot of time on screens these days.
6
And where there are screens, there are ads.
7
And lots of them.
8
In this video, you're going to learn how advertising rewires kids' brains.
9
Carl Sagan once said that the visions we offer our children shape the future.
10
But these days we're not treating kids like shapers of the future, we're treating them like shoppers of the future.
11
How?
12
By serving up ads everywhere.
13
On TV, with product placements and the shows they watch, in apps and even in video games.
14
But kids don't always understand that advertising isn't designed to shape them into healthy, happy adults.
15
It's designed to sell them more stuff.
16
Some marketers even intentionally take advantage of young people's insecurities
17
and their desire to fit in and that's all
18
because advertisers care about what's best for their bottom line not what's best for kids
19
so what do children learn from this constant stream of advertising kids learn
20
that buying more stuff leads to more happiness in short the more ads kids see the more materialistic they become
21
that means that they're more likely to say they want to be rich
22
and famous when they grow up and that having lots of money is important to learn more I talked to this guy.
23
Josh from Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood explained some of the consequences of these materialistic values.
24
Research shows that kids who are more materialistic report lower levels of happiness
25
and that's not surprising given that materialism teaches us that stuff is what's important.
26
In fact it's actually our relationships and our life satisfaction that makes us happy.
27
These materialistic kids also have lower academic performance and it may be
28
because they're more concerned with appearing successful than actually learning new skills
29
and ideas and when it comes to sharing
30
and caring well they don't care about that either
31
when asked what they would do with the money
32
if they won the lottery kids who were more materialistic are less likely to say they would use
33
that money to help others oh yeah they're less likely to care about the environment too the research shows
34
that materialistic kids are less likely to recycle or turn off the lights
35
when they leave a room but advertising doesn't just affect kids brains it's harming their bodies too.
36
About 98 % of televised food ads that kids see are for unhealthy foods like soda, candy, and fast food.
37
Studies have shown the more ads for unhealthy food that kids see, the more of this unhealthy food that they eat, raising their risk for obesity, diabetes, and other health complications.
38
Black and Hispanic kids and teens are exposed to twice as much junk food marketing as their white peers.
39
So yeah, advertising is really bad for children and for society at large.
40
But here's the good news.
41
People know that advertising to children is a problem.
42
In one poll in 2014, 57 % of respondents supported banning all advertising to children.
43
You can be part of the solution too.
44
Let's help kids understand what commercials and marketing are all about and teach them that more stuff doesn't bring more happiness.
45
Just as kids learn negative lessons from advertising, they can unlearn it too.
46
And that starts by asking questions.
47
If you watch media with your children, that gives you the opportunity to have conversations when the advertisements come on.
48
You can ask your children, what is the ad trying to do?
49
Who made it?
50
But it's also important to reduce children's screen time.
51
Not only will that improve their academic performance, help with their relationships, and make them more physically healthy, but it will also reduce their exposure to advertising,
52
which is trying to convince them of the big lie, that stuff will make them happy.
53
Groups like the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood can help.
54
So the Campaign for Commercial -Free Childhood has all sorts of resources to help parents
55
and caregivers reduce the amount of time that children spend with ad -supported screens.
56
And finally, we advocate for policies that would protect children from marketing, because if we want less materialistic kids, it's important that we change the rules of society so
57
that all kids have a chance to grow up and be citizens first and consumers later.
58
Thank you.

Objetivos de fala para este vídeo

Este vídeo é perfeito para quem quer melhorar a prática de conversação em inglês e a fluência, especialmente na compreensão de discursos informativos com tônico persuasivo. Ele ajuda a alcançar o marco de dominar a entonação em contextos que misturam fatos, opiniões e chamadas à ação — essencial para se comunicar de forma clara e impactante. Além disso, é ideal para treinar o shadowing em inglês, pois a fala é clara, com ritmo médio e exemplos reais de expressões cotidianas.

Banco de frases úteis

  • "rewires kids' brains" (reprograma o cérebro das crianças) — útil para falar sobre impactos psicológicos.
  • "serving up ads everywhere" (colocando anúncios em todos os lugares) — expressão informal para descrever a ubiquidade de algo.
  • "take advantage of insecurities" (aproveitar inseguranças) — essencial para discutir manipulação ou estratégias de venda.
  • "bottom line" (linha de base) — termo comum em negócios, significa "o que realmente importa" (geralmente lucro).
  • "unlearn it" (desaprender) — verbo poderoso para falar de mudanças de hábito.

Corrija seus pontos fracos

Um dos maiores desafios no shadowing em inglês é a ritmo das frases longas, especialmente quando há pausas para enfatizar ideias. No vídeo, frases como "the more ads kids see, the more materialistic they become" (quanto mais anúncios as crianças veem, mais materialistas elas se tornam) usam uma estrutura repetitiva com acento crescente. Praticar o shadowspeak aqui ajuda a dominar essa cadência, evitando que a fala fique "quebrada". Além disso, palavras como "materialistic" (materialista) e "complications" (complicações) têm sílabas estressadas que são fáceis de errar — ouça várias vezes e repita imediatamente para acertar a pronúncia.

Se você quer aprender inglês com vídeos de forma eficaz, combine a visualização com o shadowing: pare o vídeo, repita as frases em tempo real e compare sua fala com a do narrador. Isso não só melhora a pronúncia, mas também a confiança na conversação. Lembre: a prática constante é a chave para transformar esses "pontos fracos" em "pontos fortes"!

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.
