6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
Hello.
3
This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
4
I'm Neil.
5
And I'm Bekah.
6
Worrying about work or exams, war and climate change in the news?
7
It's no wonder that modern life is stressful.
8
What makes you stressed, Neil?
9
Ooh, good question.
10
I think not having enough time to do something.
11
That really makes me stressed out.
12
How about you?
13
Mmm, when I'm trying to do something that I've never tried before and I'm not very good at it, that makes me feel really stressed.
14
Mmm, I find that stressful too.
15
And how do you cope with stressful situations, Neil?
16
Well, I try to slow down, pause, take a breath and think that at some point, probably later today, everything will be OK again.
17
How about you?
18
Yeah, same.
19
But in my mind I'm telling myself that I will be better at what I'm doing, I just need to practice more.
20
Many young people who feel stressed about the modern world use the word overwhelm to describe their feelings.
21
And overwhelm was also the topic of a recent BBC World Service programme, What in the World?
22
Here's Ikra Farooq and Claudia Hammond.
23
So overwhelm is an emotional state where you are struggling with your current situation.
24
So you might feel overloaded, you might feel you can't cope.
25
And that might be a temporary thing, hopefully, but if it's not in the longer term, if that becomes more of a kind of chronic kind of stress, then that might lead to burnout in the end.
26
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope with life can become chronic, meaning that it lasts for a long time.
27
Overwhelm can lead to burnout, mental or physical exhaustion caused by working too hard.
28
So, how can we manage the stress in our lives and feel happier and healthier?
29
That's what we'll be discussing in this episode, along with some useful new words and phrases.
30
You'll find all the vocabulary from this episode on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
31
But before we start, I have a question for you, Neil.
32
One simple way of combating stress is taking time to rest.
33
So, according to research conducted by BBC presenter and psychologist Claudia Hammond, which activity is thought to be the most restful?
34
Is it a reading for pleasure, b walking in nature or c listening to music?
35
Well, I think they're all quite relaxing but I'm going to guess b walking in nature.
36
I'm surprised, Neil.
37
I know you love music.
38
And we'll find out the answer later.
39
One of the most stressful things facing many young people is exams.
40
Here, Claudia Hammond offers some advice for managing exam stress to BBC World Service's What in the World?
41
particularly in the exam itself if you feel stressed, then just knowing that you may well perform better while you're stressed, that it concentrates the mind, it sharpens, and nerves sharpen your thinking and allow you to really do your best.
42
It's normal to feel nerves before an exam.
43
Nerves is an informal word for worry or anxiety.
44
But according to Claudia, nerves aren't necessarily bad.
45
Yes, nerves can help concentrate the mind.
46
The phrase concentrate or sharpen the mind means to think more clearly about something.
47
Like an actor or an athlete, feeling nerves before a big performance can help them do their best.
48
Claudia recommends other ways to reduce stress as well.
49
These include slowing down and accepting that it's OK to be good enough, rather than always trying for perfection.
50
Here she shares more tips with Ikra Farooq of BBC World Service's What in the World?
51
I guess there's no one-size-fits-all as well when it comes to this.
52
So, if someone's listening and thinking I want some top tips on just feeling overwhelmed generally in my life, what would you say to them?
53
So first I would say accept that your to-do list is never going to end, it is always going to be there.
54
So even, I know that might sound defeatist, but even if you get to the end of it today, tomorrow there will be something else on it.
55
And that is just life and that is just signs of a busy life.
56
There are many ways to combat stress.
57
Not a one-size-fits-all solution.
58
The phrase one-size-fits-all describes trying to apply the same solution to many different problems.
59
Claudia's final piece of advice is don't worry too much about your to-do list – the list of all the items you have to do.
60
Why?
61
Because it never ends.
62
Every day there will be something new to add to the list.
63
So why stress?
64
Some good advice there, Neil.
65
I think I'll try these techniques next time I feel stressed.
66
And speaking of ways to de-stress reminds me of my question.
67
I asked you earlier, according to research conducted by BBC presenter and psychologist Claudia Hammond, which activity is thought of to be the most restful?
68
And you answered B, walking in nature.
69
Unfortunately, Neil, the answer is A, reading.
70
Ah, well, reading is really relaxing as well.
71
OK, let's recap the vocabulary from this episode, beginning with the adjective chronic, which means continuing for a long time.
72
Burnout is a feeling of physical or mental exhaustion caused by working too hard.
73
If you say that a difficult situation sharpens or concentrates someone's mind, you mean that it makes them think clearly.
74
Nerves are an informal word for worry or anxiety.
75
A one-size-fits-all approach tries to apply the same solution to all problems rather than solving them individually.
76
And finally, a to-do list is a list of all the tasks you have to do.
77
Of course, another way to beat stress is doing something you love.
78
And if that's improving your English, why not visit our website bbclearningenglish.com where you'll find loads more activities for doing just that.
79
See you again next time, but for now it's goodbye.
80
Bye!

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.
