1
you Hey everybody, welcome back to High Level Listening.
2
Today's lesson is especially good for you guys if you are feeling a little bit stuck in your B1 level,
3
but you do have a very comfortable B1 intermediate level small talk and you want to move into that confident world.
4
B2 English listening.
5
So for our students that are feeling a little bit stuck, this should be a very helpful lesson for you today.
6
Yes, exactly.
7
Have you ever been chatting with someone about your daily life or your hobbies comfortably in English?
8
But then the conversation turns to a deeper topic and you suddenly feel stuck.
9
Maybe you can understand everything, but when it's your turn to speak, you struggle to name ideas or you can't quite express what you really mean.
10
If this sounds like you, then this video is for you.
11
What makes this a true B2 English listening lesson is the way that we speak.
12
It's the conversation will flow naturally, but with more specific vocabulary,
13
more nuanced opinions, and slightly more complex grammar, all without feeling too formal or too academic,
14
like you would sound if you read something directly from a textbook.
15
So it's a little bit more advanced.
16
Don't worry if you don't catch all the vocabulary.
17
We do have a vocabulary sheet for you to download to help you truly understand every single word
18
and phrase from today's lesson.
19
Okay, so here's today's big question that will kind of push you more into the B2 level.
20
Would you say you're in control of your screen time?
21
Okay, so here's that question again.
22
You'll probably see it in a textbook kind of phrase this way.
23
Would you say you're in control of your screen time?
24
Okay, so in real life, people probably won't ask you that question directly like that.
25
It sounds a bit intense and a bit strange.
26
But instead, you'll probably hear people talking about themselves and their phones.
27
And they might say something like, I swear, I open my phone for five minutes, and somehow it turns into half an hour.
28
Or is something more casual like, I've been trying to cut down on my screen time recently.
29
It's much harder than I thought.
30
Or even I spend most evenings doomscrolling in bed.
31
So this is how real B2 conversations begin, or this is a way to get into those deeper,
32
more complicated topics that are often at a B2 level.
33
They start with small talk, a few simple statements, and then you go from there and you share your thoughts on these tricky subjects.
34
And today we'll talk about three different types of conversations in three different ways.
35
The first one, you agree with someone you're talking to and you'll tell them a personal story.
36
The second conversation is to share some ways we agree and disagree with the person.
37
And then the third conversation will be talking about articles
38
that you've read or things that you've researched or seen online to share some insight backed up by facts.
39
So by the end, you should be able to understand this topic
40
and feel ready to talk about it confidently in real life
41
and kind of at the upper end of the B2 level English.
42
So back to our question.
43
We'll skip the small talk and just get into the good stuff.
44
The question was, Would you say you're in control of your screen time?
45
So we were kind of at a get together the other night
46
and here's kind of what a friend of ours said about this topic.
47
He said something along the lines of I'm trying but it's harder than I thought.
48
So he basically said, I wouldn't say I'm addicted, but I definitely lose track of time.
49
I'll open my phone to reply to one message and suddenly I've fallen down a rabbit hole.
50
It's so habit forming.
51
I've tried to cut back and set boundaries, but the algorithm always seems to know what will keep me scrolling.
52
It's much, much harder than I expected, honestly.
53
Now, this was kind of something that a friend of ours just started talking about.
54
And honestly, Mark and I can absolutely relate to something like that.
55
That sounds like something everybody's a little bit addicted to their phones, right?
56
So we're going to share our own feelings
57
and kind of a conversational way and sort of naturally float in between B1 and B2.
58
So Mark, do you want to share your story?
59
Yeah, I think it's funny because no one would describe themselves as addicted.
60
And I wouldn't say it either.
61
But when I think about my own patterns of behavior with my phone, like how much I use it and how often I use it, it doesn't sound great.
62
I often start replying to someone and go down a rabbit hole.
63
I just get distracted by other videos, memes, pictures, messages.
64
But.. pointless frivolous stuff like memes videos is directly alongside actually important things.
65
Like if I get a ping or a message on my phone, I really have to check it because it could be my mum who needs help or an urgent message from my family.
66
But at the same time, it could also be a fake bot sending me a friend request, but I have to check it and see just in case.
67
And then usually as soon as I check, it's just, it's automatic.
68
My thumb just starts going to the apps and the icons by themselves.
69
I've even done that thing where I closed an app, and then I just opened it again, two seconds later.
70
It's like looking at the screen, wipes my brain clean and I have no idea where I am or what I'm supposed to be doing.
71
It's almost kind of unnerving how helpless and automatic it feels.
72
Thank you i mean i completely agree you know especially about
73
going down the rabbit hole that's me basically every evening i think i'm just going to quickly check my phone
74
and then right i'm on my phone for about half an
75
hour um now i mean it is kind of interesting because i just
76
guess when they started talking about this i just didn't realize how used to i was this constant stimulation
77
and it's just
78
when i tried to switch off in the evenings i just felt a little bit restless
79
and honestly kind of bored and i really didn't know what to do with myself
80
and with the silence
81
and it really showed me just how habit forming these apps
82
can really be i mean i'm still working on it
83
but i've started kind of replacing screen time with small habits like maybe reading a few pages of my book.
84
I plugged in my Kindle again because it hadn't been charged for probably months, right?
85
Or, you know, just getting out of the house, trying to get away from the TV, going for a short walk.
86
It's not easy, but I can already feel that my attention span and my mental bandwidth are already improving.
87
Right?
88
You hear a lot of people say "robs your attention" or "steals your attention".
89
Yeah, we use these same words for like crimes.
90
Like it's taking it without your permission, or it's taking it when you don't want to give it away.
91
It just robs your time, robs your attention, your mental bandwidth, like you said.
92
I agree.
93
So then the conversation about phones and screen time went on from there.
94
And there was another friend there at the get together.
95
And she likes to act that she's kind of stronger mentally and better than everyone else who falls for these apps.
96
I know who you're talking about.
97
Right.
98
And then she said, oh, it's just self -discipline.
99
The amount of screen time you have is self -discipline, how much you control yourself.
100
And she said something along the lines of, I actually think it comes down to self -discipline.
101
Yeah, the apps are designed to give you that dopamine hit and instant gratification, but at some point you have to take responsibility.
102
And if I notice that I'm feeling overstimulated or getting a digital fatigue, I just switch off.
103
I put my phone down.
104
It's not always easy, than we admit.
105
almost wanted to just roll my eyes.
106
I was like, eye roll.
107
Okay.
108
I had to really stop myself from just, oh, it's just so simple.
109
Oh, it's so simple.
110
Right.
111
Maybe that was a bit of a hot take on her end because that was oversimplifying it.
112
Right.
113
Yeah.
114
Just turn it off.
115
Just throw your phone in the ocean.
116
What's the big deal?
117
That's all.
118
All right.
119
Yeah.
120
So as you can kind of see, Mark and I don't totally agree, but I think what Mark's going to probably do is tell us his side.
121
agree with that but i'm going to be playing devil's advocate
122
and i'm going to actually agree with her so you get both sides of this Right, yes.
123
I think, in my opinion, The idea that it's just self -discipline is a bit naive.
124
Like it's very easy to say, "Oh, just put your phone down.
125
If it gets too much, just turn it off and walk away, go outside." But like I said before, all of my work, my personal contacts,
126
my social essentials are all still on one device and it's on my phone and it's all in the same vicinity.
127
And the irony is, if I want to go out and touch grass, like go out and see some nature and get away from screens.
128
If I go out, I'll need my phone for the GPS to see where I'm going.
129
If I should, get away from my screen and go and socialize.
130
I'll need to get on my phone and reach out to a friend on WhatsApp.
131
And then probably while I'm checking that message, I'll see like a meme that I didn't reply to earlier.
132
So I look at that and suddenly I've been lured back onto Instagram.
133
So I'm sort of trapped in a cycle of four or five different apps.
134
How else am I supposed to contact my friends without a screen?
135
I even have some friends who live abroad, and the only way that we can contact each other is through messaging apps,
136
which invariably means sending each other videos and memes.
137
It feels like taking a break from my phone is cutting myself off from a lot of useful
138
and important things in my life.
139
That's how invasive and intertwined social media and my life have become.
140
And one more thing.
141
I think...
142
Coming back to my phone, If I go out and I take a walk and I don't look at my screen,
143
if I come back home and I check and I've got dozens of missed calls or messages, that's not really acceptable either.
144
No one really accepts the excuse, oh, I'm trying to get off my phone a little bit more.
145
So sorry, you were stuck in the rain and I couldn't give you a ride home because they're like, where were you?
146
I needed you.
147
you always have a phone on you.
148
So I don't think it's like a personal failing.
149
If I check my phone a lot, our lives are built around our phone, and you have a personal responsibility to be online and contactable all the time.
150
It's almost irresponsible to not be available at a moment's notice.
151
I know.
152
I'm kind of thinking of when we were kids and we didn't have phones, and just all of a sudden we would show up back home And like nobody knew where we were.
153
We didn't call anybody.
154
We didn't tell anybody where we were.
155
And that seems crazy now.
156
That seems absolutely crazy now.
157
But it is this kind of fear of missing that phone call
158
or there's going to be an emergency and you're not there.
159
Right.
160
That's the fear.
161
That's kind of what we've been driven to to feel that if I don't have my phone, I'm I'm naked or I'm missing something.
162
Right.
163
Yeah.
164
You're in danger.
165
So, yeah, exactly.
166
So now I'm not going to lie.
167
I do love a hot take.
168
So I'm going to play what's called devil's advocate here.
169
And I usually say this in conversations.
170
I kind of think it's a little boring to always agree with somebody or to always say something so relatable.
171
And I want to hear people's opinions.
172
I want to hear kind of the differing opinion.
173
Right.
174
Obviously, that's a big deal.
175
But I can see why our friend would say that she thinks it's mostly discipline.
176
Because honestly, at the end of the day, no one is physically forcing you to pick up your phone.
177
We might blame algorithms and or say that apps are designed to give us that quick dopamine hit, which I mean, I do actually think is true,
178
but we're still the ones making the decision here.
179
Okay.
180
We are alive.
181
We can say no, right?
182
We are the ones that pick up the phone, unlock the screen and check our notifications.
183
Right.
184
But I have noticed that when I am really focused on something important, like maybe a something with work or a personal goal,
185
I all of a sudden have no problem staying off my phone, right?
186
That tells me that it's not impossible.
187
I just need to redirect my attention.
188
I need to be focusing on something else, not just on relaxing with my phone or being constantly on my phone.
189
So, for example, there was this time I decided to cut back on social media during the week.
190
I noticed that it was really interfering with work and why don't I just put my phone down, like you said, right?
191
You know, so I just, I had to set a boundary, right?
192
First few days were a little bit tough, but when I made a clear rule for myself, no scrolling before 7pm, it actually worked.
193
It was hard at first, but the difference wasn't just like, an app or getting onto Instagram accidentally.
194
It was the boundary I set for myself.
195
So I made that rule and I stepped to it.
196
That's why I actually succeeded.
197
So while there are definitely some psychological tricks involved, I'd still argue that in most cases, it comes down to self -control.
198
Do you pick up your phone or not, right?
199
And are we willing to build better habits when we notice there's a problem?
200
Yeah.
201
Right.
202
And that whole, I know you're playing the devil's advocate, that whole idea still...
203
I see your face frenched up.
204
It still gives me the ick in a way.
205
It's the whole thing that the responsibility is always pushed back on us, on the user.
206
And I read something recently that was like, imagine someone's pouring itching powder all over you all day, and they're pouring it on you.
207
And they say, you know what, you should really learn how to meditate.
208
So you don't get bothered by all the itching.
209
And it's like, wait a minute.
210
It's the same thing where like oil companies or flight companies are saying you should really...
211
"Yeah, you should really watch your carbon footprint.
212
You're making a big impact taking all these flights." And it's like, You run a company that literally makes money off of me doing this.
213
Exactly, right.
214
So they designed the apps to be as distracting as possible.
215
And then they're like, you shouldn't watch it so much.
216
It's not my fault.
217
It's a social epidemic.
218
All right, well, let's go on to our last piece of this conversation about screen time.
219
There was a third friend who gave their opinion as well, and I think...
220
I'm quite aligned with this person as well, and we'll say what we think about their opinion.
221
They said, it's bigger than just willpower.
222
or rather willpower sometimes isn't enough.
223
And our friend started talking about how he doesn't think it's just willpower.
224
We're exposed to notifications and constant stimulation.
225
And that kind of thing affects our attention span and our mental bandwidth without us even realizing.
226
I mean, I'm not glued to my phone 24 -7, mix in.
227
And, Yeah, I think I agree with what they had to say.
228
And actually, I read some things the other day about phones and attention spans.
229
And there was an article and it said, your attention didn't collapse.
230
It was stolen.
231
So rather, people are not lazier or stupider than in the past, but the things around this have completely changed.
232
And this article was not just about information overload, but it talked about how being constantly online and being constantly distracted,
233
slowly erodes your ability to think and to concentrate.
234
So they did a study.
235
where some students took a test and some of them had no phones, while another half were allowed their phones,
236
and they kept receiving text messages every five or ten minutes and they checked them.
237
And the ones that checked their phones they scored on average 20 % worse in the test.
238
So it shows that every time you refocus your mental energy, takes some performance or bandwidth away from you.
239
Your mental bandwidth suffers, and your brain doesn't get the chance to recover properly when your phone is constantly going off,
240
you're getting pings, messages, alerts.
241
They even quoted this French expert on attention spans, and she basically said, There is no way...
242
We can have a normal brain today.
243
Oh no, we're doomed.
244
I know, it's pretty bad news.
245
Yeah, we're just constantly surrounded by stimulus.
246
and constantly moving your attention from one thing to the other, just exhaust your brain.
247
They said that your brain can really only handle one or two thoughts at the same time.
248
But on your phone, you've got social media companies
249
actively designing their feeds to bury you with as much content as possible
250
and your brain literally can't keep up with it so Yeah, like I said, you could cut yourself off,
251
but social media companies know this and choose to create platforms that hack your attention instead of healing it.
252
So it's no wonder everyone's burned out and lost
253
and confused about what to do or why they think they're losing their ability to focus.
254
That kind of brings me back to what you said.
255
It's all muddled, right?
256
Because you go on an app to look up the news, but then you get stuck looking at cat memes.
257
Or you check a notification from your mom because you need to text her back.
258
And then all of a sudden you're opening up TikTok or Instagram.
259
And it's all muddled together.
260
It all is enticing.
261
The notification that was important feels as important as scrolling.
262
like oh yeah i'm i'm doing this thing
263
and it's making me smarter it's um oh i just learned this cool life hack this cool tip
264
and it is mixed in with a baby monkey um getting cut off from its parents
265
and then the whole world is wondering is this baby monkey gonna be okay with this little stuffed animal
266
and i'm i'm heartbroken you know i'm heartbroken for this little animal I was actually reading an article the other day.
267
Hold on.
268
I think I even saved the quote because it really stuck with me.
269
dopamine scrolling seemingly operates through reward mechanisms and variable reinforcement schedules,
270
making it a unique and potentially habit forming behavior.
271
Now, obviously, I'm not going to remember all of these words.
272
So I wrote it down.
273
But it's the science behind it.
274
Okay, so dopamine scrolling that that really stuck with me.
275
I've never heard that phrase before, telling you that your brain gets a little hit,
276
a little hit of dopamine and you get rewarded.
277
You were a little bit sad in the last video, so this really happy, cute video made up for it.
278
Or you learned this life hack, so it's okay if you laugh at a stupid joke in the next half a second, 20 seconds later.
279
And so you don't know what's going to happen next.
280
And that's the reward.
281
That's the, that's the, I want to scroll endlessly.
282
I want to, I want to just, I got to keep going.
283
What if the next video, this video was sad.
284
What if the next video is happy or that video is crap.
285
I need a new video.
286
And it really, really creates this habit forming behavior.
287
And it's It's wild, okay?
288
This is where we're starting to, honestly, pardon my French, get a little bit messed up.
289
No, I'm not going to say the bad word.
290
Um...
291
But it's messed up.
292
It's messed up.
293
And when you think about it like that, it's not just about the next story.
294
It is honestly the same techniques that they're using for gambling.
295
They want you to sit there lifeless, thoughtless, mindless for hours because they want you there constantly.
296
And you don't know if you're going to get something interesting, funny or exciting.
297
So you just keep scrolling.
298
And that unpredictability is what keeps you hooked.
299
Right.
300
Just one more.
301
Just one more.
302
There's no way it's just willpower.
303
I really like what you said about the itching powder that like that really.
304
That really was a good metaphor for it.
305
um thinking about it's like oh well it's your fault this is your problem yeah it's just all power Right.
306
And I mean, yeah, personal responsibility still matters.
307
Like, I want to feel like I'm in control of my life, but I just don't think it's that simple.
308
All right.
309
We're dealing with something that's so much more complex that science is trying to gather information, trying to figure out a way to help us because we are just drowning.
310
We are just drowning.
311
are the ones that are basically essentially burying us in Constant.
312
Crap.
313
Yes.
314
Oh, yeah.
315
It's a kind of, you could see the thing as a big manipulative trap
316
because you get drawn to it with positive emotions and negative ones too.
317
And it's 50 -50.
318
One phone is about some like outrage, injustice, corruption, it's politics.
319
And there's this like pessimism, this pessimistic view of the world.
320
So you get annoyed and frustrated by it.
321
So you swipe, And then the next video is like a cute kitten or like a cat jumping over a barrier, a wall.
322
And you're like, oh, that's nice.
323
So to take a break and get away from all the bad news, you need to watch another video to see some good news.
324
But then you swipe again and it's back to the bad news again.
325
So you get frustrated by it.
326
that the only way to escape it is to
327
go back to it and hope you just get something nice on your feed instead.
328
So we're all stuck.
329
It's all a big manipulative cycle, I think.
330
Okay, there you go.
331
We're trying a much deeper conversation with some more complex and nuanced opinions,
332
again, to really help you push your English level to B2 and higher.
333
We shared some different opinions back and forth.
334
And yeah, hopefully you have a slightly deeper understanding of this topic
335
and you've gained the ability to express some things that you think in English as well.
336
Absolutely.
337
And remember, this is great listening practice,
338
but you don't have to say every sentence perfectly or even keep the entire conversation in every sentence at the B2 level.
339
That's just kind of not a natural way of speaking.
340
We're going to be bouncing back and forth from simple ideas to more complex ideas.
341
And that's a much more natural way to use this in conversation.
342
Yes, right.
343
So the point of these videos is really to start you on the hard level.
344
And then the next time you have a conversation about this kind of thing, about screen time, phones, social media,
345
maybe you can sprinkle in some of the vocabulary and phrases or things that you heard in this episode.
346
And hopefully you'll be able to express yourself more clearly, more accurately, and more closely to how you really feel about these subjects.
347
And remember, we've got a free PDF for you to download down below with the dictionary
348
and all of those difficult words and phrases.
349
It should be interesting for you to look through these after you've done some listening.
350
And then maybe you can listen again, and that will kind of help really solidify some of those vocabulary phrases.
351
Yeah, and lastly, What do you think?
352
Would you say that you're in control of your screen time?
353
We'd love to hear your thoughts, opinions, and also help you out if you have any English questions as well.
354
Don't forget to like and subscribe and chat with us in the comments below.
355
We'll see you again soon for another B2 English listening video here on High Level Listening.
356
Bye bye.
