6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Neil.
4
And I'm Beth.
5
You may have one, or know someone who does, and at one time you've been one yourself.
6
I'm talking about toddlers.
7
A toddler is a young child, usually between between two and four years old who is learning to walk or toddling.
8
It's an important stage in a child's development as they learn to move and understand the world around them.
9
It's also known as the terrible twos.
10
When toddlers can't do the things they want to, they experience frustration, which often leads to tantrums – a sudden and noisy outburst of anger.
11
We've probably all seen the tears and screams when a young child can't have what they want.
12
Yes, the famous temper tantrums.
13
But being a toddler is also an exciting time as a child's personality starts to develop.
14
So what can we adults learn from toddlers?
15
That's what we'll be finding out in this programme along with some useful new vocabulary.
16
But first, I have a question for you, Beth.
17
Being a toddler is certainly an important stage in a child's growth.
18
But which of the following statements is true?
19
a toddlers are attracted to shapes that resemble the human body, b toddlers are more active than at any other time in their lives, or c toddlers can grow up to 3 centimetres during sleep time.
20
I think toddlers can grow up to 3 centimetres while they sleep.
21
OK Beth, we'll find out if that's the correct answer later in the programme.
22
At two or three years old, there's not much toddlers can do for themselves.
23
They depend on mum or dad to feed, clothe and care for them, so it's strange to think there's anything adults could learn.
24
But not according to Dr Hassan Murali, author of a new book, Sleep Well, Take Risks, Squish the Peas, and father to his own toddler, who spoke with BBC Radio 4 programme Woman's Hour.
25
When I see the toddlers by themselves, they're doing a lot of things out loud.
26
Little Julie's putting on her mitts and saying, Julie can do it.
27
And Colton's over on the side and he's looking down at his boots and they're on the wrong way.
28
And so he says, oh, Colton did this wrong.
29
And this idea of self-talk is really a way to decrease stress in anxiety-provoking situations.
30
Dr Morali observed toddlers talking to themselves out loud.
31
When you talk out loud, you speak so that other people can hear you.
32
But it's what the toddlers were saying that's really interesting.
33
When a little girl called Julie learned how to put on her gloves, she told herself, Julie can do it.
34
This is a special kind of talking out loud, known as self-talk.
35
Self-talk means the messages that you tell yourself and the way in which you tell them.
36
It's your inner voice and in toddlers it's usually positive and encouraging.
37
Unfortunately, as we grow up, our self-talk often becomes less encouraging and more critical.
38
Instead of a positive, loving inner voice, as adults we tend to tell ourselves, you can't do it or you're no good.
39
Here's Dr Murali again, explaining more to BBC Radio 4 programme Woman's Hour.
40
We often get into the cycle of negative self-talk and I think one of the best strategies that we can do is give ourselves more positive self-talk.
41
So an easy way to do it is when you're down on yourself and angry with yourself, think about talking to yourself as a good friend instead of actually you.
42
And you'll notice that difference in how you talk to yourself.
43
As an adult, you might be down on yourself.
44
If you're down on yourself, you feel disappointed and self-critical about yourself.
45
When this happens, your self-talk gets very negative.
46
For example, telling yourself you're no good.
47
And this can lead to a negative cycle, a pattern of repeating the same negative thoughts over and over again.
48
This can be a problem, but not for toddlers who are naturally good at talking kindly to themselves and celebrating the little things, like learning to get dressed.
49
The solution for over-critical grown-ups?
50
According to Dr Morali, pretend you're talking to a good friend instead of to yourself, just like toddlers do.
51
It seems us adults can learn something from young children after all – being kind to ourselves.
52
When they're not having tantrums, toddlers really are wonderful little creatures.
53
Which reminds me of your question, Neil.
54
Right, I asked you which statement about toddlers was true.
55
And I said it was that toddlers can grow up to three centimetres while they sleep.
56
Was I right?
57
I think you know that you're not right, Beth.
58
That was the wrong answer.
59
It's true that toddlers do grow when sleeping, but not as much as three centimetres.
60
In fact, the correct answer was that being a toddler is the most active period of your whole life, which isn't hard to believe if you live with one.
61
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned in this programme about toddlers, young children who are toddling or learning to walk.
62
A tantrum is a noisy, uncontrolled outburst of anger, usually from a young child.
63
If you say something out loud, you say it in a way that other people can hear.
64
Self-talk refers to the messages that you tell yourself and the way in which you tell them.
65
It's your inner voice.
66
The phrase to be down on yourself means to feel disappointed and self-critical about yourself.
67
And finally, a negative cycle is a pattern of repeating the same negative thoughts over and over again – something a toddler would never do.
68
Once again, our six minutes are up.
69
But remember to join us again next time for more trending topics and useful vocabulary here at 6 Minute English.

Goodbye for now!

Зачем практиковать разговорную речь с помощью этого видео?

Практика разговорной речи – важный аспект изучения английского языка. Это видео о том, что мы можем узнать у детей младшего возраста, предлагает уникальную возможность для улучшения ваших навыков говорения. Слушая, как Нил и Бет обсуждают поведение детей и делятся своими мыслями, вы сможете не только улучшить понимание на слух, но и расширить свой словарный запас. Используя метод "shadow speak", вы можете повторять фразы и выражения сразу за спикерами, что поможет вам запомнить правильную интонацию и произношение.

Грамматика и выражения в контексте

В представленном видео используются несколько ключевых структур, которые полезно проанализировать:

  • Сравнительные конструкции: “toddlers are more active than at any other time in their lives” - такая структура может помочь вам развивать навыки сравнения в английском языке.
  • Модальные глаголы: “can do it” - использование модальных глаголов позволяет выражать способности и возможности, что является важной частью грамматики.
  • Непрямые речи: “I think toddlers can grow up to 3 centimetres while they sleep” - понимание и использование непрямой речи поможет вам в более сложных конструкциях.

Общие ловушки произношения

В видео могут встречаться определённые слова и выражения, которые могут вызвать трудности в произношении. Например:

  • Temper tantrums - данное выражение может быть сложно в произношении из-за сочетания звуков, поэтому стоит уделить внимание каждой части этого слова.
  • Self-talk - важно акцентировать внимание на правильном ударении, чтобы звучать уверенно и понятно.
  • Frustration - это слово может быть сложно для русскоязычных, поэтому фокусируйтесь на его произношении, чтобы избежать ошибок.

Слушая настоящих носителей языка и повторяя за ними, вы сможете улучшить своё произношение, избавившись от привычных акцентов. Используйте shadowspeak для более эффективного изучения, чтобы ваш английский стал более естественным.

Независимо от того, учите ли вы английский с YouTube или используете другие ресурсы, метод shadow speech может сильно повысить вашу уверенность в разговорной речи и помочь вам развить все аспекты языка. Не упустите возможность учить английский в увлекательной и эффективной манере!

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.
