Nah, I've got no clue.

That's the opposition leader.

Do you know who this man is?

His name starts with an M, I think.

I don't know.

13
Which country hosted the 2026 Pacific Islands Forum?
14
Um...
15
If you find you're not exactly on top of the news, well, you're not alone.
16
Do you keep up with the news?
17
No, I do not.
18
Sometimes, sometimes I do.
19
A lot, actually.
20
I watch all the deep dives.
21
If it pops up on my TikTok or, like, social media.
22
Some adults also don't like watching the news because it is so, well, boring.
23
If I'm at the TV, yes, I watch it.
24
I've never watched it in my life.
25
A recent survey of 1,027 young people aged between 10 and 17 found that young people's news engagement has dropped since 2023.
26
Fewer are following up on news stories they hear about, fewer are following news stories on social media, and fewer are checking news websites or apps.
27
Get your morning paper, Morning Star.
28
There was a time when the news was part of the daily routine.
29
Newspapers at breakfast, the 6 o'clock news at night.
30
Hello there.
31
Then, in the 90s, the internet took off.
32
And the way we consumed our news started to change.
33
That's the sound of the internet, by the way.
34
Over the last decade, social media has been a big source of news, especially for young people.
35
But then this happened.
36
If you're under 16, you're no longer allowed to have a social media account.
37
A significant consequence here is the social media ban.
38
This is Professor Tanya Notley, one of the researchers from the study.
39
She says the social media ban has probably had an impact on news consumption.
40
A lot of the news that young people get on social media is incidental.
41
It's news they weren't looking for it, but they came across it.
42
And that then might lead them looking at other sources because they found out about something.
43
That said, social media is still a pretty popular place to get news, coming in third after family and friends,
44
above-life TV, news websites and radio.
45
Meanwhile, a fairly small but growing number of young people say they're using AI to find out about the news regularly.
46
Like, sometimes we use Google AI to find out something, if it's, like, true or not.
47
I don't know, I just need something quick.
48
I'll just chuck in AI so it gives me the answer.
49
Do you find it reliable, then, for news?
50
Oh, absolutely.
51
I use AI a lot for like housework.
52
For example, like, um, like air fried hash browns are not very crispy, so I like, I try to ask ChatGPT how I can like make them more crispier.
53
So it's very helpful, very helpful.
54
Yeah, but what about the news?
55
Oh, uh, where?
56
So if you type the news into Google, would you trust it?
57
No, no way.
58
The use of AI as a news source has some people worried for a couple of reasons.
59
For starters, people using AI for their news aren't necessarily clicking through to news websites, which means those websites don't get as much traffic, which can rob them of income.
60
Then there are worries about accuracy.
61
Last year, a big study found that AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time, regardless of where you live in the world.
62
Less than half of young people are confident that they can verify information to work out if news is reliable or not.
63
But then when we asked about the steps young people take, most young people are not looking at multiple sources, checking the source is reliable.
64
They're not doing things like a reverse image search
65
or any of these techniques that you might use to check if news is reliable or not.
66
So that is a concern when using generative AI.
67
So I guess the big question is, does any of this matter?
68
Do you need to know about world leaders, regional forums or transient seals?
69
They need to keep up to date with the news because, like, they don't know what's, like, out in the real world if they don't look at the news.
70
You don't want to just be spreading, like, false information to people and telling people, oh, did you hear about this, when it didn't.. might not have even happened.
71
There could also be important stuff, like, if there's danger around that area or something's happening near where they go, to keep them safe.
72
Yeah, it is actually pretty important important for all those reasons.
73
Plus, soon you'll be voting, so it's important to get an understanding of what's happening and how those decisions could affect you.
74
Which is why experts say it's pretty important for people like
75
us to do what we can to get people like you interested in the news.
76
What do you think should be done to make news more engaging for young people?
77
I feel like making it somehow more interesting and engaging.
78
There's not stuff that affects high schoolers
79
or people going from primary to high school there's not enough that's relevant to us to make it interesting.
80
I think more positive local news instead of more international stuff, unless it's really big events.
81
If it still was engaging, I don't think young people would still watch it, because they need that dopamine hit.
82
So, like, Subway Surf is in the bottom.
83
Like, they need that dopamine hit.
84
Yeah, I think if they posted positive things about kids and stuff, it would be like, yeah, I'd watch that more.

Практика разговорного английского: учимся на примере видео "Do you care about the news?"

Это видео — отличный материал для практики разговорного английского, потому что он содержит естественную разговорную речь, современные темы (социальные сети, ИИ) и разнообразные выражения. Диалоги между подростками и экспертами звучат живыми, без формальностей, что помогает привыкнуть к настоящему английскому разговору. Идеально подходит для shadow speak — техники повторения фраз за говорящим, чтобы улучшить произношение и ритм.

Разбор ключевых фраз: почему они звучат естественно?

Давайте разберем несколько фраз из видео, которые делают речь живой:

  • "Nah, I've got no clue." — Отказ от формальности ("nah" вместо "no") и использование идиомы "got no clue" (ничего не знать) делает речь похожей на реальные разговоры подростков.
  • "It's news they weren't looking for it, but they came across it." — Неработающая структура ("it" лишняя) является признаком разговорной речи, где грамматика иногда уступает быстроте выражения мыслей. Так говорят в повседневной жизни.
  • "I'll just chuck in AI so it gives me the answer." — Слово "chuck in" (вбросить, добавить) — разговорное синоним "put in", что делает фразу менее официальной и более естественной.

Рутина практики: как использовать видео для Shadowing английский?

Следуйте простому плану, чтобы эффективно учить английский по видео:

  1. Посмотрите отрывок видео длиной 10–15 секунд, слушайте внимательно ритм и интонацию.
  2. Включите паузу и повторите фразы за говорящим, стараясь подражать их темпу и эмоциональной окраске (это shadowspeaks). Запишите себя на телефоне.
  3. Сравните запись с оригиналом: обратите внимание на ударения и звуки, которые сложно повторить. Повторите до тех пор, пока фраза не будет звучать естественно.
  4. Повторяйте каждый день по 15–20 минут — это поможет быстро улучшить разговорную речь и уверенность.

И помните: даже маленькие шаги lead to big progress! Используйте видео как инструмент для практики, и вы скоро заметите, как ваше английское становится более живым и уверенным.

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.
