Hello everyone, and welcome back to Mr. English Channel,

where learning English is easy and fun.

I'm Emily.

Hello, Emily, and hello to all our wonderful listeners.

It is so good to be here today.

I am so happy you are here, Paul.

You look very happy today.

I am happy, Emily, but I am also a little, hmm, confused.

Confused?

Why are you confused?

Did you have a difficult morning?

Well, no, it was a good morning.

I was looking at my phone.

Ah, the phone.

Were you looking at social media?

Yes, I was looking at photos of my friends.

Everyone looked so perfect.

Oh, Paul, I know what you mean.

Everyone has a perfect life on the Internet.

Exactly.

My friend Tom, you remember Tom from The Office?

Yes, of course.

The funny guy who works with Sarah.

Well, Tom posted a photo of his breakfast today.

It was beautiful.

Was it a big breakfast?

It was amazing.

He had eggs, fruit, a green juice,

and a very pretty coffee.

Wow, that sounds like a lot of work for a Tuesday morning.

That is why I am confused.

I saw Tom at the office an hour later.

And?

How did he look?

He looked tired.

He told me he didn't have time to eat his breakfast because he spent 20 minutes taking the photo.

Oh, no!

So the food was cold?

Yes.

He said the eggs were cold and the coffee was not good anymore.

That is so funny.

But it is also a little sad, right?

It is.

He wanted the photo to look perfect,

but his real breakfast was not very good.

That is our topic for today, Paul.

Social media and real life.

I love it.

It is a very important topic for everyone.

It really is.

We spend so much time looking at screens.

We do.

And sometimes we forget what is real.

You know, Paul, I have a small secret about this.

A secret?

Tell me.

Not yet.

Later, at the end of the episode,

I want to share a very useful tip.

Oh?

Is it about social media?

Yes.

It is a small trick that helped me feel much better about my life.

Now I am very curious.

I will wait for the end.

Good.

So, Paul, do you post many photos on the Internet?

Not many.

I am a little shy.

I usually just look at other people's photos.

I understand.

I like to post photos of my dog and my garden.

Your garden is beautiful, Emily.

Those photos are real.

Thank you.

But, you know, sometimes I move the trash can before I take the photo.

Really?

You hide the trash?

Yes.

I want the garden to look clean.

But in real life, there are leaves on the floor and a big plastic trash can.

That is interesting.

So even your real photos have a little bit of, um, editing?

Yes, exactly.

I think we all do that.

We want to show the best parts of our day.

I saw a photo of a woman on a beach yesterday.

She looked so relaxed.

That sounds nice.

I love the beach.

But then I saw a video of the same beach.

It was so crowded.

There were people everywhere.

Ah, so the photo was just one small corner of the beach?

Yes.

In the photo, she looked alone and peaceful.

In real life, it was loud and busy.

It's like a magic trick.

We only see what the person wants us to see.

100

That is true.

101

It's called a highlight reel.

102

Do you know that expression, Emily?

103

Hmm.

104

Highlight reel?

105

Can you explain that?

106

Sure.

107

A highlight is the best part of something,

108

like the best goal in a soccer game.

109

Oh, I see.

110

So social media is just the best moments of life.

111

Exactly.

112

We don't post photos of our messy kitchens or our boring meetings.

113

Imagine a photo of your big boring report from last week.

114

Oh, no. Here is a photo of me crying over numbers.

115

No one wants to see that.

116

Look at my 30 pages of math.

117

So exciting.

118

No way.

119

People would stop following me immediately.

120

But that is real life.

121

We all have boring moments and messy rooms.

122

I think it makes people feel bad sometimes.

123

They think, why is my life so messy?

124

Yes, I agree.

125

When I see my friend Maria on vacation,

126

I feel a little… jealous.

127

Maria?

128

The one who's getting married next month?

129

Yes, she's in Italy right now.

130

She's posting photos of pasta and old buildings.

131

Italy.

132

Wow, that sounds wonderful.

133

It looks wonderful, but I talked to her on the phone yesterday.

134

And what did she say?

135

Was she having a great time?

136

Well, she said her feet hurt from walking,

137

and she lost her sunglasses.

138

Oh no!

139

She didn't post a photo of her hurting feet?

140

No. She only posted the beautiful pasta.

141

So in her photos, she is a queen in Italy.

142

In real life, she is a tired tourist with no sunglasses.

143

Exactly.

144

It's important to remember that when we scroll through our phones.

145

Scrolling.

146

That is another big word.

147

We scroll and scroll for hours.

148

I do that before I go to sleep.

149

It is a bad habit.

150

Me too.

151

My eyes get tired, but I cannot stop.

152

Why do we do that, Paul?

153

I think we are looking for something exciting.

154

We want to see what is happening.

155

But usually nothing exciting is happening.

156

Just more photos of cats and coffee.

157

True.

158

But I like the cat photos.

159

I like them too.

160

But sometimes I look at the clock and, wow, one hour passed?

161

I know.

162

You think it is five minutes,

163

but it is 60 minutes.

164

That is time we can use for other things,

165

like reading a book or talking to a friend.

166

Or sleeping.

167

I need more sleep.

168

We all do.

169

You know, Paul, if you are enjoying this conversation about social media,

170

don't forget to like the video.

171

Yes, and subscribe to Mr. English Channel.

172

We love having you here.

173

And please share this episode with a friend.

174

Maybe a friend who spends too much time on their phone.

175

That is a good idea.

176

And we have a small task for you today.

177

Oh?

178

What is it?

179

If you are still listening,

180

comment the word, real life, in the comments below.

181

One word?

182

Real life?

183

Yes, all together.

184

It shows us you are listening and you care about being present.

185

I love that.

186

Real life.

187

It is a good reminder.

188

So, Emily, let's talk about FOMO.

189

Have you heard that?

190

Ah, yes.

191

F-O-M-O.

192

Fear of missing out.

193

Exactly.

194

It's that feeling when you see your friends at a party and you are at home in your pajamas.

195

Oh, I hate that feeling.

196

You think everyone is having fun without me.

197

Yes, I had that last Saturday.

198

I saw a photo of Tom and Sarah at a new restaurant.

199

The Italian restaurant?

200

Luigi's?

201

No, a new sushi place.

202

They looked so happy.

203

And how did you feel?

204

I felt lonely.

205

I was sitting on my sofa eating a sandwich.

206

But, Paul, you like your sofa.

207

You told me you love quiet Saturday nights.

208

I do.

209

I love my sofa and my sandwich.

210

But the photo made me feel like I was doing something wrong.

211

That is the power of social media.

212

It can make a good night feel like a bad night.

213

It is very strange.

214

Before phones, I would be happy with my sandwich.

215

Exactly.

216

You wouldn't know about the sushi.

217

You would just enjoy your dinner.

218

I think we need to be more careful with our feelings.

219

I agree.

220

We need to remember that photos are not the whole story.

221

You know, I tried something new yesterday.

222

Oh?

223

What did you do?

224

I went for a walk in the park,

225

and I left my phone at home.

226

No phone at all?

227

No phone.

228

It was a little scary at first.

229

Why was it scary?

230

I thought, what if I see a beautiful bird?

231

I cannot take a photo.

232

Or what if I see a famous person?

233

Exactly.

234

I felt like I couldn't save the moment.

235

But what happened?

236

Did you see a beautiful bird?

237

I did.

238

I saw a big blue bird.

239

It was sitting on a tree near the water.

240

And?

241

Was it okay that you didn't have a photo?

242

It was more than okay.

243

Because I didn't have my phone,

244

I really looked at the bird.

245

Wow!

246

You watched it with your eyes, not through a screen.

247

Yes.

248

I saw the colours.

249

I heard the sound it made.

250

I stayed there for five minutes.

251

That is wonderful, Paul.

252

If you had your phone, what would you do?

253

I would spend four minutes trying to get a good photo.

254

Then I would spend one minute thinking of a caption.

255

Look at this blue bird, hashtag nature, hashtag blessed.

256

Exactly.

257

And I wouldn't really see the bird.

258

I would only see the screen.

259

That is a very powerful lesson.

260

We miss the real moment because we want to post the moment.

261

I felt so much more relaxed after that walk.

262

My head felt… quiet.

263

I need to try that.

264

A digital detox.

265

Digital detox.

266

I like that name.

267

It sounds like a healthy diet for the brain.

268

It is.

269

Our brains are tired of all the colors and the clicking and the likes.

270

Speaking of likes, do you feel happy when people like your photos, Emily?

271

Hmm.

272

Yes, I do.

273

It feels like a small high-five from a friend.

274

Me too.

275

But if I don't get many likes,

276

I feel a little sad.

277

Isn't that strange?

278

We let numbers on a screen change our mood.

279

It is very strange.

280

If ten people say hello to me in the street, I am happy.

281

Of course.

282

That is a lot of people.

283

But if only ten people like my photo,

284

I think, oh no, only ten?

285

Nobody likes me.

286

We are so silly sometimes, Paul.

287

Ten people is a lot of people.

288

I know.

289

I need to imagine ten people standing in my living room.

290

That is a crowd.

291

It really is.

292

We need to change how we think about those numbers.

293

I agree.

294

A like is nice, but a real conversation is better.

295

Like our conversation right now.

296

Exactly.

297

I don't need a button for this.

298

I can see you are smiling.

299

And I can hear you are laughing.

300

That is real connection.

301

You know, Emily, I saw a very funny video about social media reality.

302

Oh?

303

What was in the video?

304

It showed a man in a very messy room.

305

There were clothes on the floor and old pizza boxes everywhere.

306

Oh, dear.

307

That sounds like a disaster.

308

But then he cleaned one tiny corner of the room,

309

just one small table.

310

Only one table?

311

Yes.

312

He put a flower and a book on that table.

313

Then he took a photo.

314

And I bet the photo looked beautiful.

315

It looked like a luxury hotel.

316

He posted it with the caption, Sunday morning vibes.

317

Vibes.

318

I love that word.

319

It's so… internet.

320

But the reality was the messy pizza box is just 10 centimeters away.

321

That is the perfect example of social media.

322

It's a crop.

323

A crop?

324

What does that mean?

325

When you crop a photo, you cut the edges.

326

You remove what you don't want.

327

Ah, so we crop our lives.

328

We cut out the mess.

329

Yes, and we only show the flower and the book.

330

I think I am going to stop cropping so much.

331

Really?

332

Are you going to post a photo of your messy desk?

333

Maybe not today, but I will tell my friends when I'm having a hard day.

334

That is a good idea.

335

Being vulnerable is important.

336

Vulnerable.

337

That is a big word.

338

It means being honest about our feelings, right?

339

Yes, exactly.

340

It's okay to say, I am tired or I am sad.

341

My friend Sarah did that last week.

342

She posted that she was feeling stressed about work.

343

And what happened?

344

Did people be mean to her?

345

No. Everyone was so kind.

346

They said, me too, and you can do it.

347

Wow.

348

So being real actually helped her connect with people?

349

Yes.

350

It was better than a perfect photo.

351

It was a real moment.

352

I love that.

353

Maybe social media isn't all bad.

354

No, it's not bad.

355

It's just a tool.

356

We just need to use it in a healthy way.

357

Like a hammer.

358

You can build a house,

359

or you can hit your thumb.

360

I don't want to hit my thumb.

361

Me neither.

362

I want to build a house of friends.

363

That is a very poetic idea, Emily.

364

Thank you, Paul.

365

I'm feeling very inspired today.

366

Me too.

367

I feel like I want to put my phone in a drawer for the rest of the day.

368

That is a great plan.

369

But wait, I still have to share my secret tip.

370

Oh, yes.

371

I almost forgot.

372

You promised a secret tip at the end of the episode.

373

I did, and it is a very simple one.

374

I am ready.

375

I have my notebook.

376

What is the tip for social media in real life?

377

OK, here it is.

378

Turn off your notifications.

379

All of them?

380

Yes, especially for social media.

381

No pings, no dings, no vibrations.

382

But how will I know if someone likes my photo?

383

is the point, Paul.

384

You will check the phone when you want to,

385

not when the phone tells you to.

386

Hmm.

387

So I'm the boss, not the phone.

388

Exactly.

389

When the phone pings, it's like a little bell.

390

We're like dogs.

391

We run to the phone.

392

You're right.

393

I hear the sound and I stop everything.

394

I stop talking.

395

I stop eating.

396

But if there is no sound,

397

you stay in real life.

398

You finish your coffee.

399

You finish your walk.

400

Wow!

401

That is so simple, but it's very powerful.

402

It changed my life.

403

Now I only look at social media twice a day.

404

Once in the morning and once in the evening.

405

Only twice?

406

That is very brave, Emily.

407

It was hard for three days,

408

but now I feel so much more peaceful.

409

I don't feel like I'm missing anything i'm gonna try

410

that right now i'm gonna turn them off good job paul your brain will thank you

411

and i will have more time to talk to you

412

413

chat i feel like i learned a lot me too paul

414

415

Especially the cold eggs.
