6 Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com Hello,
2
this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Phil.
4
And I'm Georgie.
5
Now, you probably know the word well-being.
6
It's a general feeling of health and happiness.
7
But have you ever heard of flourishing?
8
It's an idea which Claudia Hammond has been investigating for BBC Radio 4 programme All In The Mind.
9
I wonder if you all feel that you are flourishing in life.
10
This is another psychological buzzword with added evidence.
11
Now if you've not heard that term before it's not just about well-being it's about your whole life being good.
12
Flourishing is a psychological buzzword,
13
a word or phrase that has become fashionable and is being used a lot,
14
especially on television and in newspapers.
15
People who are flourishing feel good about all aspects of their life including happiness,
16
health, relationships and financial security.
17
Do you feel you're flourishing, Georgie?
18
Yeah, I think I'm quite lucky actually.
19
I really like my job,
20
I have a good family and friends.
21
Yeah, everything's going well.
22
What about you, Phil?
23
I think the same.
24
I think I'm happy and I've got everything I need.
25
Lovely.
26
In this episode, we'll hear about the Global Flourishing Study,
27
a new survey into the lives of over 200,000 people in 22 countries.
28
We'll learn some useful new words and phrases.
29
And remember, you'll find all this episode's vocabulary on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
30
Yes, but first, Phil, I have a question for you about the Global Flourishing Study.
31
In terms of overall flourishing,
32
which country do you think came out on top?
33
Was it a Indonesia, b Denmark or c Brazil?
34
Ooh, I'm going to guess B.
35
Denmark, I think.
36
OK, Phil.
37
Well, we'll find out the correct answer later in the programme.
38
Now, the study investigated six areas of life,
39
including health, finances, social relationships and religion.
40
Let's listen as Claudia Hammond discusses some of the findings with
41
psychologist Dr Peter Olosaga for BBC Radio 4's All In The Mind.
42
What were the most interesting nuggets there?
43
You've been diving into it.
44
Some of the sort of headlines were high-income countries,
45
so Sweden, the USA for example,
46
scored higher on some of the more material aspects of flourishing,
47
so things like finance.
48
Middle-income countries, so Mexico for example,
49
scored more highly on things like meaning of relationships and kindness and social cohesion.
50
Claudia asks about the study's most interesting nuggets.
51
A nugget means a small piece of something good,
52
like wisdom, or precious, like a nugget of gold.
53
While richer countries scored higher on material happiness,
54
middle-income countries did better in terms of kindness and social connection.
55
There were interesting differences between men and women.
56
For example, in Japan, women flourished more than men,
57
while in Brazil the opposite was true.
58
And across all countries, flourishing increased after the age of 50.
59
So, does flourishing depend on your nationality?
60
Or are there things anyone can do to feel happier wherever they live?
61
Let's find out, as Claudia Hammond talks more with Peter Olasaga for BBC Radio 4's All In The Mind.
62
So what can any of us do to help ourselves to flourish?
63
That's the big question.
64
Well there's a few things that we can do and they are supported by research as well.
65
So things that are as simple as just practicing gratitude,
66
being thankful for what we have is a way of increasing the amount of flourishing we have in our lives,
67
showing kindness which helps us to develop connection with other people and just celebrating our own accomplishments.
68
I think we've spoken on the program before about savouring.
69
Oh yeah we have, savouring those good moments.
70
Exactly, just taking the time to really appreciate some of those those small wins.
71
Claudia asks the big question.
72
In other words, the thing everyone would like to know – how do people flourish?
73
There are simple things anyone can do,
74
starting with gratitude, feeling thankful and appreciative for what you have.
75
Being kind and connecting with others are also indicators of flourishing.
76
The study also recommends savouring life.
77
To savour means to fully enjoy something by experiencing it slowly and mindfully.
78
It involves taking time out to enjoy good moments,
79
to stop and smell the roses, as we say.
80
This links to the phrase,
81
small wins, minor achievements or successes which bring you a little closer to your long-term goals in life.
82
There's an old saying – a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.
83
And savouring each small win along the way is vital to flourishing.
84
Flourishing seems to be a big new idea – in some countries at least – which reminds me of your question, Georgie.
85
Phil, I asked you in the Global Flourishing Study which country came out on top?
86
And the options were Indonesia, Denmark or Brazil.
87
And I said Denmark.
88
Which, Phil, I'm afraid that is the wrong answer.
89
The correct answer is Indonesia.
90
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned,
91
starting with buzzword, a word or expression on a certain topic that has become fashionable and much used.
92
A nugget is a small piece of something good or precious,
93
such as a nugget of gold or a nugget of wisdom.
94
The big question is the thing everyone would like to know.
95
Gratitude means being thankful for what you have.
96
If you savour something, you enjoy something as much as possible by experiencing it slowly.
97
And finally, small wins are minor successes which contribute to a larger life goal.
98
Once again, our six minutes are up.
99

Контекст и фон

В этом эпизоде программы "6 Minute English" от BBC Learning English Фил и Джорджи обсуждают концепцию процветания (flourishing) и исследования о благополучии людей. Процветание включает в себя не только здоровье и счастье, но и взаимоотношения, финансовую безопасность и общий смысл жизни. Психология процветания становится все более популярной темой, а исследования показывают, как жители разных стран оценивают аспекты своего жизненного опыта. Это беседа дает полезную информацию для изучающих английский язык, заинтересованных в расширении словарного запаса и понимании современных тем.

Топ 5 фраз для повседневного общения

  • Flourishing - процветание; этот термин охватывает все аспекты жизни.
  • Well-being - благополучие; общий статус здоровья и счастья.
  • High-income countries - страны с высоким доходом; исследование показывает зависимость процветания от дохода.
  • Social relationships - социальные взаимоотношения; важный критерий для оценки процветания.
  • Meaning of relationships - смысл взаимоотношений; ключевое качество для общего чувства счастья.

Пошаговое руководство по shadowing

Для эффективного обучения и улучшения разговорной практики попробуйте следующие шаги в методе shadow speak:

  1. Прослушивание: Первоначально послушайте видео несколько раз, чтобы понять основную тему и контекст беседы.
  2. Повторение: Остановите видео и повторяйте вслух каждый фрагмент после дикторов. Это поможет улучшить произношение и интонацию.
  3. Анализ: Обратите внимание на новую лексику и фразы, такие как "societal well-being" и "financial security". Запишите их и проверьте значения.
  4. Практика: Практикуйте shadowing английский с использованием каждой новой фразы в разговорах с друзьями или на языковых обменах.
  5. Оценка: После завершения практики запишите себя, чтобы оценить прогресс и заметьте области, где можно улучшить.

Используйте эти подходы, чтобы развивать свои навыки и уверенность в практика разговорного английского, и не забывайте про возможности, которые предоставляет метод shadowspeaks!

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
