7

8
That movie was so scary that it gave me goosebumps!
9
Goosebumps?
10
Yes, little kitty!
11
Goosebumps!
12
Hey friends, we all get Goosebumps for various reasons.
13
But have you ever wondered why do we get them in the first place?
14
So, in today's episode, let us explore this hair raising topic and find the answer to an interesting question.
15
Why do we get Goosebumps?
16
Zoom in!
17
Goosebumps, also commonly known as Goose Flesh, are tiny bumps on your skin at the base of your hair that spring up involuntarily.
18
Caused by various factors like an unexpected cold breeze,
19
...watching a scary movie, playing adventure sports etc. I know you are thinking, but why are they called what they are called?
20
That is Goosebumps.
21
Well, their name is the most straightforward thing about them.
22
When geese are freshly plucked, their skin creates raised bumps where the feathers were.
23
And because of this visual similarity, we call them Goosebumps.
24
But why do we get it?
25
Well, it is believed that years ago, when humans were all big,
26
smelly and hairy, Goosebumps played a vital role in their daily lives.
27
You see, our ancestors never had the luxury of clothes and generally wandered around half naked,
28
making them fall prey to ever-changing climatic conditions.
29
And as the winter hit, making our ancestral uncle feel cold,
30
the adrenal glands got activated and released a hormone called adrenaline, also known as epinephrine.
31
This hormone causes the tiny muscles called Erecta Pili, which are attached to the hair follicles to tense up and shrink,
32
making the hair stand upright and a little bit of skin around the hair protrudes like a flexing muscle,
33
resulting in goosebumps.
34
This straightened hair helped to trap more air which stopped the body heat from releasing,
35
making our ancestral uncle feel better, rosier and warmer.
36
Not only that, getting goosebumps is an automated response we call reflex.
37
Which is an action your body has automatically executed without you even thinking about it.
38
This particular reflex is known as the pilomotor reflex and generally gets activated during the flight of fight situation.
39
So, whenever our ancestors came across a deadly wild animal,
40
adrenaline rushed in and made their hair stand to make them appear bigger to scare their enemies.
41
We can still observe this phenomenon in our pet cat or a dog.
42
You must have seen their hair standing on end when they sense danger or feel afraid.
43
So, now you know, why do we get goosebumps?
44
Congratulations my friends, you learnt something new today.
45
Trivia time!
46
Did you know, medical term for goosebumps are...
47
Cutus and Seraina, Philoerection and Horipolation.
48
Also, some people get goosebumps when they listen to music.
49
Yes, a study found that people who are more open to different types of music
50
and to new experiences were more likely to get goosebumps and chills from listening.
51
So, put on your headphones and get ready for a bumpy ride!

Dicas de Prática

Durante a visualização do vídeo, tente aplicar a técnica de shadowing em inglês. Comece a ouvir a narração e, assim que se sentir confortável, repita em voz alta o que o apresentador diz, imitando tanto a entonação quanto a velocidade. O vídeo tem um ritmo amigável, o que torna mais fácil acompanhar. Para maximizar sua aprendizagem, pause o vídeo frequentemente e pratique as frases que você considerou mais desafiadoras.

Utilizar o shadow speech como técnica de repetição não só ajudará a melhorar sua pronúncia, mas também facilitará a memorização do novo vocabulário. Ao ter um contexto claro, como o da história dos arrepiantes, você poderá visualizar melhor as situações em que pode usar essas expressões na prática de conversação em inglês.

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.
