You're invited to this real English conversation with me, Vanessa, and my husband.
2
Dan.
3
We are going to give you something that AI cannot give you, and that is a real conversation between real people.
4
I know I'm not AI.
5
What about you?
6
I mean, I think I'm real, ma'am.
7
I think you are.
8
So in this conversation, you are going to be immersed in real-life English, which is the key to help you also become a natural, fluent English speaker.
9
And like always, I have created a free PDF worksheet here over Dan's face.
10
It's going to include all of the vocabulary that you're about to learn today.
11
Plus, I have added a bonus in the free PDF.
12
This is a listening version, an audio version of today's entire lesson.
13
It's kind of like a mini podcast episode.
14
So you can download the listening version and you can listen to it wherever you go while you're walking your dog, while you are doing the dishes, while you're doing anything.
15
So how can you get this free PDF worksheet plus the bonus audio version?
16
All you need to do is click the link in the description, enter your name and email address, and voila, just like that, it will land in your email inbox.
17
It is my gift to you.
18
So don't wait.
19
Make sure you get the PDF worksheet and bonus audio version.
20
All right, Dan, are you ready to get started?
21
I'm ready to talk about my childhood.
22
Yes, that is the topic for today.
23
It is, we're going to be talking about a few questions based on our childhoods,
24
but especially comparing our childhoods to our children's childhoods.
25
Yes.
26
I have heard some other people say that kids nowadays are inside more, they are attached to their screens more.
27
You've probably heard me say this.
28
And I think it is a really interesting conversation to compare different generations' childhoods.
29
So, are you ready for my first question?
30
I'm ready.
31
Let's do it.
32
All right.
33
Dan does not know what these questions are.
34
Yes, it's a mystery.
35
I want you to think back to when you were eight years old.
36
It's a good time for me.
37
And I want you, wonderful students, to also think about when you were eight years old.
38
Tell me, how much freedom did you have?
39
For example, could you go off and ride your bike in the neighborhood?
40
Did your parents drop you off at the grandparents' house for the weekend?
41
How much freedom did you have?
42
First, for context, I think that both of us had kind of unusual childhoods in some regards.
43
But as far as freedom at age eight, I think that we were pretty, I was pretty standard as far as like the American standard.
44
So I was allowed to kind of roam my neighborhood as long as I was with my brother.
45
and we could walk to the playground.
46
We could walk to a pond by ourselves, which we did quite a lot.
47
My parents were a little more strict though when it came to going over to friend's house or like neighbor's house.
48
Okay.
49
They were very cautious about...
50
The influence of neighbors.
51
Yeah, the influences, especially like movies they'd watch or video games or whatever.
52
Yeah.
53
And you know, we had a couple shady characters in our neighborhood.
54
Not that shady.
55
Well, maybe one or two.
56
So it was quite a mix, really, but nothing too crazy.
57
It wasn't like that dangerous.
58
But yeah, I feel like I experienced something pretty similar where I could bike in the neighborhood.
59
We could play with the neighborhood kids.
60
But I went to a few I went to a few sleepovers at friends houses.
61
That's a pretty common American thing.
62
You can spend the night at a friend's house.
63
But that was pretty much it.
64
We couldn't walk to any shops because I lived so far away from shops or our school.
65
We couldn't walk anywhere.
66
We lived in the suburbs.
67
There's not a lot of shops that are just walkable.
68
Yeah, you could just kind of stay in your neighborhood.
69
But we didn't have, we'll talk about technology later.
70
We didn't have any way to contact our parents when we were out.
71
So let's talk about our kids, though.
72
Our kids now, do they have the same type of freedom that we had as kids?
73
um kind of not really a little bit less I'd say
74
yeah yeah I feel like um a lot of parents our
75
age are a little more uh cautious with their kids like even more
76
so especially like biking somewhere in the neighborhood
77
or the fear of cars walking
78
and I actually in our neighborhood we our kids are out
79
all the time we have them running around uh you know they can walk up running up
80
and down our road which is a dead end
81
so it's not super dangerous and they're often the only kids out
82
so I feel like a lot of kids are inside more
83
but I don't know if that's really necessarily the parents are are scared to send them out
84
or they don't want to give them freedom I think I just think they're probably preoccupied with other things
85
if I had to guess possibly we might talk about what those other things are later
86
so yeah I do feel like our kids are we give
87
our kids I think a little more freedom than maybe the average millennial parent does.
88
It depends on what you mean by freedom too though
89
because we don't let them watch a lot of tv or they don't have computers or phones or anything.
90
Yeah I guess physical freedom to like oh you want to go to the neighbor's house
91
and we know that neighbor okay that's fine.
92
We let our children be bored so that helps them get outside.
93
Yeah they They have dug a hole in our yard that's at least up to my waist.
94
It is so deep.
95
And what are our kids doing?
96
I don't know.
97
Maybe digging a hole.
98
They said they're looking for rocks.
99
We have enough space to do this, by the way.
100
It's not in anybody's walking path.
101
It's not a safety hazard.
102
Don't worry.
103
There's only a child buried in there.
104
That's all.
105
Yeah.
106
I think that the biggest difference when I think about it is our parents and our children,
107
this kind of two generations difference.
108
Like when I think about my parents, they were gone all day.
109
And their parents had no clue where they were.
110
That is not possible for our kids.
111
Their parents come from the, or our parents come from the generation that said, go out and I don't want to see you until sundown.
112
Right, right.
113
I cannot imagine an eight year, my eight year old, we have an eight year old.
114
I can't imagine telling him, go out off of our property.
115
And I don't want to see you.
116
And I don't want to see you.
117
Until dinner.
118
For the next nine hours.
119
Finally know something's wrong when you don't come home at bedtime.
120
Yes, I think our generation can't fathom that lack of control over our kids' well-being.
121
How about concern?
122
Concern, yeah, we're concerned about them.
123
Yeah I think that's this is a good foundation.
124
The other questions are very are similar variations of this.
125
I want to ask you the second question.
126
When you were eight years old.
127
We're just doing a lot of eight-year-old stuff.
128
It's all eight years old.
129
It's like peak childhood kind of.
130
Yeah you haven't reached puberty yet.
131
You're not like a little kid.
132
I loved life at eight.
133
It was so fun.
134
I can remember you know oh yeah that's really good well let's talk about it what was technology like
135
when you were eight think phones think music think answering machines well
136
when i was eight years old it was 1995 oh yeah
137
and so uh yeah there was some technology uh we had a tv in our basement
138
and i would go down and try to watch that sometimes
139
but my my mom would always kind of snoop down there
140
and be like what are you watching it's time to turn it off
141
and uh i was one of those kids who I really, really, really loved video games and I wanted video games a lot, but my mom would not let me.
142
My mom or my dad.
143
But then my mom actually caved a little bit and she got me a Game Boy.
144
But, you know, you can beat one of those games in a day usually. And so...
145
It wasn't an endless...
146
It's not like...
147
Stay up till 2 a.m because I'm playing this game and then the next day and then all day and then...
148
My mom's also the type.
149
She's like, he can play it on a road trip and he can play it outside.
150
He can take it anywhere.
151
I mean, maybe you could.
152
Which is kind of true, I guess.
153
Yeah.
154
But, uh, yeah.
155
What about, um, that's the technology we had overall.
156
We had our, our, my best friend had a computer, but we didn't have a, I don't think we had a good computer at that point.
157
I remember we got a computer when I was in sixth grade
158
and you could type documents and I think you could play Frogger maybe.
159
Something fun little games like that.
160
Very simple.
161
Um, but I had a CD player.
162
I don't think I was interested in like CDs or music till I was a teenager though.
163
So at eight, we had a house phone with an answering machine.
164
I don't even know if we had caller ID at that point.
165
And I just was not, we watched, I don't even remember watching TV as a kid.
166
I watched some movies.
167
I remember watching some like classic Disney movies as a kid, but I don't have any real memories with TV.
168
We never, we didn't have video games in my house.
169
There's either it was our family or we just had, you're into monster trucks or something.
170
That was in high school.
171
We had two girls, so we weren't necessarily like the right market for video games at that age.
172
But what about our kids for technology?
173
Like what kind of technology is in their life as a norm?
174
Well, there's, I mean, there's kind of a lot, but we usually, we keep it under control with them and they're still young enough.
175
And I think our oldest is he's like cautious enough.
176
He doesn't like push the boundaries, but you know, they, they think that the TV only has a couple of things on it, even though technically you could find anything on there.
177
And they don't have a phone and they see us on our phone.
178
They know that they can ask us to find information on the phone instantly.
179
So that's different.
180
yeah we could call someone on the phone we could video
181
chat yeah like our kids especially our two year old
182
if I'm on the phone with someone
183
and it's not a video call she asks to see them
184
like oh I want to see Sharice like my sister
185
and I'm like oh I'm just talking to her on the phone she can't just like why would you do
186
that talking to someone without seeing them I mean why would
187
you it's great to see someone on a video chat I think that's
188
so that's like the best thing we don't like we don't give our kids a tablet
189
or anything i feel like tablets are the devil for children
190
basically here's my old man talking don't give your don't give
191
your child a tablet yeah our kids don't don't really know
192
they maybe they know what a tablet is at this point
193
i don't know we have one kind of it's not it's
194
never out yeah it doesn't we don't work we don't use it oh now it's broken as well
195
so yeah yeah they they're around they know
196
that i work on the computer i don't know if we're like
197
when i do my work on the computer
198
and our kids will sit down at the computer and pretend to do mommy's work.
199
I think they think the computer is for work as well.
200
Yeah.
201
So that's good.
202
Yeah.
203
We have some boundaries about TV.
204
I think it's going to be a lot harder as they get older.
205
And I feel pretty clueless and innocent about what it's like to have a kid feel peer pressure about technology.
206
Like right now, our kids don't feel any pressure about playing certain video games.
207
Like they've never, they played a video game at their cousin's house like mario at their cousin's house for a couple days
208
but that's yeah
209
and theo was like this i gotta get him to move over here he couldn't just stand still like this
210
and play he had to move his body it was
211
so innocent and cute
212
because he just yeah i don't think our kids are standard
213
in this way no at this point i think it is possible though
214
that there's i think there's a growing group of i'm saying millennial parents
215
because that's our generation who are wanting their kids to have less.
216
People are aware now like oh maybe all this technology isn't great for children's brains.
217
Yeah.
218
Huh.
219
Yeah.
220
Who could have thought of that?
221
Okay are you ready for a big one?
222
Yeah a big one.
223
Oh boy.
224
A big question.
225
Okay tell me when you were well I'll ask you eight years old.
226
Do you want a fun one or a heavy one?
227
Make it serious.
228
Okay.
229
Let's get serious.
230
Think about when you're eight years old.
231
Eight years old, Daniel.
232
How were you disciplined?
233
Oh.
234
Think about time out.
235
Think about being grounded, spankings, what being yelled at.
236
What was...
237
I was a bit of a strong-willed child.
238
Discipline.
239
I don't think anyone would be surprised to hear that.
240
My parents definitely spanked me up until around that time.
241
Okay.
242
Yeah.
243
Do you think, what were some circumstances that led to that?
244
Well, they had a little bit of like a traditional wait till your father gets home kind of thing.
245
So I would get in trouble with my mom
246
and she would tell my dad and then my dad would dole out the spankings.
247
Do you remember what you did that deserved?
248
She's probably not listening.
249
I don't know, climbing stuff.
250
I mean, I went to the library one time.
251
I started climbing the bookcases and I remember my mom being like, what on earth would compel you to do this?
252
Wait until you get home.
253
Oh yeah.
254
Kind of thing. And yeah.
255
But I do remember distinctly one time my dad was gonna spank spank me and he just like started cracking up.
256
Really?
257
It was me and my brother together.
258
Oh, no. And apparently he pulled down our pants.
259
We were like bare butt, you know?
260
And he was like, he just started laughing and walked away.
261
He couldn't do it.
262
Well, you know that you've lost it at that point.
263
We were probably like looking at him like, daddy, what are you going to do to us?
264
Oh, I mean, that is kind of funny.
265
What did you ever get grounded as a child?
266
Yeah.
267
Or like in time out as a child sent to your room?
268
Sent to my room for sure.
269
Yeah.
270
That was a common discipline tactic.
271
Taking certain things away.
272
Yeah.
273
I think as a kid it was...
274
Gameboys, TVs, you know.
275
Yeah.
276
The good stuff.
277
It's always the technology.
278
Yeah.
279
Yeah.
280
That's interesting.
281
For little boys especially I feel like.
282
As a teenager.
283
Grounded as well.
284
I would get that away too.
285
Yeah.
286
Yeah, and I think, I feel like I remember getting really defiant.
287
I guess probably older, though, like puberty.
288
And, you know, getting in some kind of big fights with my mom, especially.
289
Yeah, we don't have to reveal all right now for the entire internet.
290
But I think when I was dating, it was similar.
291
But I do know that they stopped spanking at some point.
292
I don't know if it was explicit or not.
293
Yeah, I mean, when you're not a kid anymore, I think that's pretty typical.
294
But I mean, like, for everybody, like all of us, even my sister yeah yeah do you think it was like a moral decision
295
or just uh they never told me oh interesting yeah yeah
296
i mean i got i got spanked as a kid first
297
the same stuff like not listening fighting with my sister you
298
we fought all the time this one all the time you know siblings
299
and i remember being plus i mean your sister i mean come on being sent to my room that was pretty typical.
300
I remember hitting my sister a couple times
301
and my mom sent me to my room and I was
302
so sad that I hit her
303
that I snuck out of my room into her room
304
and we were playing with like our Barbie dolls
305
and my mom found us and we were so scared
306
because we were supposed to be in separate rooms because we were in trouble.
307
And we're like, oh no, she caught us.
308
I came out of my room and we were playing peacefully together.
309
Why would my mom be upset?
310
She came in and was like, oh you guys are playing together okay yeah that
311
and i just could not fathom that
312
that was a good end result like supposed to be punished i was supposed to be punished
313
so i didn't do the punishment i should be in trouble right
314
but because we were playing so happily together yeah i i distinctly remember
315
that moment the fear of being in trouble for not doing the punishment
316
but yeah how about um let's think about our kids now
317
um what how are they we dropped the ball well we
318
have a very strict no spanking policy yeah we don't spank our kids
319
but then it's like now what do we do yeah i
320
think i feel like our generation is stuck in the middle
321
yeah where like a lot of a lot of science has come out and said hitting and spanking your kids is
322
is psychologically bad for them.
323
It is not actually going to help them.
324
So our generation hears that and says, okay, we're not going to spank, but there's not enough experience to tell us what else is effective.
325
As they say to the pendulum swung too far, like a lot of parents our age as well, they would do, I would just call them permissive parents.
326
I don't know exactly what they would call it, but you know, their kids just walk all over them
327
and they're rude all the time and they get what they want and like who's the boss in the house?
328
Is it the kids or the parents?
329
It swung from one far side with like maybe our grandparents were very very strict authoritarian parents
330
and then we our generation has swung to be much more permissive.
331
We're gonna hear you out child.
332
Yes tell me all your feelings but then when you're rude what do I do?
333
So for us
334
our kids have timeouts if they do something wrong
335
if they say something rude
336
if they hit someone they have to go sit in a
337
chair for one minute three minutes five minutes whatever it is quiet
338
calm um that has worked really well even for our two-year-old sometimes she's easier
339
when you start them young yeah sometimes she skips over to
340
the chair like okay i'm ready she's also like yeah i I hit Freddie.
341
Yeah, I did.
342
Yeah, but even for Freddie, for our five-year-old, he has adapted to that really well.
343
He's the reason that we started the rules in the first place.
344
That was you as a child, maybe.
345
Middle children.
346
Middle children.
347
But for our oldest, it's a little bit trickier.
348
I think as you get older, and I'm sure we'll figure this out too, or we'll find this out as our kids get older, discipline has to change.
349
like what is serious for him for our eight-year-old might be
350
more oh you're like more towards the you're grounded side like
351
a long-term consequence this weekend you cannot play with your friends you did something bad enough
352
that this weekend you're not allowed to play with your friends we have to stay home
353
because those are more like grown-up consequences kind of
354
so we're learning we're trying to figure it out i would
355
say we were a bit late to the scene on some of this
356
because we started out a little more like uh just explain what the problem is
357
and then they'll naturally not really we were very resistant to discipline
358
because it feels like an infringement upon your children
359
but now i'm like kids are looking for a leader
360
and you have to be the parent like who's who's supposed to be in charge in this situation yeah
361
and if you're
362
if you're not in charge the kid is going to try to be in charge yeah i have a feeling that
363
when our kids are adults they're going to be more in
364
the middle like they're going to have a better picture maybe
365
it generally i feel like generations tend to go like
366
that though where it's like pendulum swinging back yeah the pendulum has gone from here to here
367
and then they will see the problems
368
and kind of adjust a little bit more hopefully right we'll see
369
so let us know for you what is kind of normal
370
punishment in your household if your kids or maybe when you were a child what what happened in your your house.
371
Yeah.
372
Has there been any general loosening in your society as well?
373
Like I think in America, maybe you're up to, I don't know.
374
Less strict.
375
Just like, yeah, just way less strict.
376
Yeah.
377
Okay.
378
We have two lightning round questions.
379
Very quick.
380
Boom.
381
Are you ready?
382
Tell me, what were your favorite games as a kid?
383
Games activities.
384
Things to do.
385
Tag.
386
Tag.
387
You're it.
388
Tag you're it.
389
Cool.
390
Other games I don't know.
391
Did you play on a trampoline?
392
Oh trampoline sure.
393
Oh yeah like dodgeball on the trampoline that was fun.
394
Okay.
395
Yeah.
396
Active physical stuff.
397
Man we did all kinds of insane games like alligator where We took two mattresses
398
and we jumped on the mattresses and smashed the people inside the mouth.
399
I cannot imagine doing that.
400
Yeah.
401
Why?
402
Because it was so fun.
403
The friends that I hung out with, if I knew you as a kid, I would never have played with you.
404
We wouldn't have been friends.
405
I was scared to get on a...
406
No. No. I was scared.
407
I would have flirted with you, though.
408
As an eight-year-old?
409
Yes.
410
I was scared to get on a trampoline because I didn't like that kind of physical, like, pushing or bumping.
411
Like that was not what I liked.
412
So my favorite activities as a kid were crafts.
413
We did a lot of crafts, sewing things, cutting little things.
414
This is not a game.
415
That's an activity.
416
Like what did you occupy your time with?
417
And the next thing we love to do was just dig outside.
418
Kind of like what our kids do, but like make little things with sticks and dirt and all of that.
419
Yeah.
420
Did I ever tell you about the Indiana Jones game?
421
No. That's where my brother pulled us in the wagon
422
and somebody pushed a barrel behind us like the ball
423
that was rolling after you and other people threw like balls and hard things at you.
424
While you're in the wagon.
425
While you're in the wagon.
426
Yeah.
427
Are you just free going down the hill or is your brother?
428
No my brother's pulling us through like a course.
429
Oh my gosh.
430
Yeah.
431
That is totally not what we did.
432
It was a four boys two girls situation and only one girl played with us.
433
Yeah that would not have been me.
434
My sister was out.
435
yeah that would not have been me okay we have another quick lightning round question
436
when you were a kid what responsibilities did you have
437
or chores did you have as a kid list like two or three
438
my parents were they my dad would always shake his head about this now
439
and be like we didn't give you enough chores we had a chore chart that lasted like a month
440
but there was no lasting like it was my job to
441
feed the cats no yeah not really it nothing really stuck
442
i think my mom struggled with getting it to stick
443
and keeping it up it is hard yeah we know it's hard i mean
444
when i was a kid we had a we had a chore chart
445
which is pretty typical i mean we would do it was the kind of thing where saturday was doing chores
446
and then you'd just get assigned something.
447
Yeah.
448
It wasn't consistent.
449
We, the things that stuck were just little things.
450
And I don't think they really helped the family that much.
451
Like after dinner, it was my job to wipe down the table.
452
Okay.
453
That's so small.
454
It's not really a responsibility.
455
And at least from my experience as a parent, it takes more work to have your child do it than for you to do it.
456
So for you to have your child take that responsibility, it's not because it makes it a life easier for you.
457
It's kind of like torture for you.
458
It's because you're like literally trying to instill in them a skill, but it's going to take six months versus you doing it really quick.
459
So I think that's something that we're starting to play around with.
460
Like the kids feed the cats.
461
They're starting to collect the chicken eggs.
462
They, of course, have to clean up their own stuff.
463
Like they always clean up their own, their room, their books, their toys.
464
Like that's important.
465
You know, they have to put their shoes back.
466
Those little things that are helpful, especially when there's three kids.
467
Yeah.
468
It's not super regimented though.
469
It's kind of similar to how we were, at least I was.
470
Yeah.
471
Yeah.
472
I think in the summer though, Theo mows our grass.
473
Oh yeah.
474
He likes doing that.
475
Freddy cleans up.
476
It's a really light lawnmower, by the way.
477
Yeah, it's not too hard.
478
Freddy kind of cleans up the lawn before we do it.
479
So they have some chores, but it's definitely different than what our grandparents did.
480
I think that's the biggest gap.
481
Our grandparents had very strict chores they were required to do.
482
They required our parents to do.
483
They were needed a lot more.
484
Yeah, that was a much different life.
485
My parents, I mean, my dad always said he would always help his mom wash dishes and
486
It's at the table and they never were asked to they just did it is how he would explain it Yeah, very different different expectations.
487
I think yeah Oh, they also weren't allowed to talk at the dinner table before mom their mom
488
and dad spoke which Yeah, I could see that now might be kind of nice Yeah, yeah So when your parent
489
when your dad sat down at the table as a child
490
they had to be silent until the parents talked together like I I think like, oh, it'd be nice if I sat down at the table
491
and me and Dan could talk and the kids were quiet and they listened.
492
But how do you enforce that?
493
Yeah.
494
What was their trick?
495
Like, how do you get that to happen?
496
That is the mystery.
497
If you have any ideas, let me know.
498
It's not my life goal to have this happen, but it is, I think it's just a generational difference.
499
Like a very different parenting style.
500
Like my grandpa, my grandpa could give you a stare that could make you want to shut up.
501
Maybe that's it.
502
A lot more than I have.
503
Yeah.
504
So yeah, we're too nice.
505
Okay.
506

- เริ่มที่ความเร็ว 0.75× พูดตามทีละประโยค แล้วกลับไปใช้ความเร็วปกติเมื่อเริ่มคล่อง
- อัดเสียงตัวเองแล้วเทียบกับต้นฉบับ โดยสังเกตคำอย่าง spank, discipline, worksheet เป็นพิเศษ
