So, Rachel, did you grow up in New Zealand?

Yes, I did.

Nice.

So I grew up in the States,

and I thought we would talk about how life is so much different for teens today than it was for our generation.

Okay, I think we can do that.

So obviously the first thing is that when we were young,

we didn't have like smartphones and things like that.

We didn't have the internet, actually.

We didn't have internet, we didn't have email.

Yeah.

So I remember if you wanted to meet a friend,

you would have to plan it way in advance.

Yes.

You would have to wait by the phone.

Remember that, waiting by the phone?

You couldn't go outside because if you were waiting for the call,

you had to wait at your house until you got the call.

We didn't even have an answering machine.

Wow.

Oh, my gosh.

That's really old school.

We used to have to wait by the phone.

Yeah.

Actually, I used to spend every afternoon after school on the phone with my friends.

After we got home from school,

we would call each other and discuss the day's events, I suppose.

Yeah, you had so much to share.

That's true.

So my teens these days,

they come home from school,

they get on their phone,

and they text all their friends.

Right.

And they do it all day.

Like it's constant, constant chatter.

I think maybe that's why I'm not so much into texting.

it's just too much work you know

like I like to build up the mystery of not knowing what somebody did for a

while um yeah but i was thinking about it recently

and i think they it was similar because we used to telephone a lot

but then we did have to wait a long time before

finding the news true yeah i read once uh about how a lot of the movie plots from like the 60s,

70s, and 80s wouldn't work today because of cell phones.

Yes.

Because a lot of the storyline...

They're about missed communication.

Right, right, yeah.

Yes, and somebody arrived and somebody else didn't.

So another one I think that's really obvious is bottled water.

So when I grew up,

there's no such thing as bottled water.

Like you had to get water from a faucet, right?

Yes.

Yeah, and I think I remember when they first started coming out with bottled water,

I think I was about 14 or 15.

It was a bit later in New Zealand, I think.

Yeah.

So that was crazy.

I mean, do you remember what it was like when people were first drinking bottled water?

How strange it seemed at the time?

Everyone was like, why don't you get it from the tap?

The water's very clean in New Zealand.

So the tap water is clean.

So there was really no reason.

Yeah.

Like if you come from a temperate climate,

it was never a problem, right? because you just,

I'm from a temperate climate as well.

And so the water doesn't really have problems with bacteria

or things like that so it's always clean it used to be clean

so in New Zealand it's probably still clean the rivers used to be clean

but they're not

so clean now oh really even in New Zealand yeah oh really shocking it's a bit sad

so how about other things that we used to do

when we were kids like one thing is i think compared

to kids today is we used to spend a lot of

time outside actually like our parents would not allow you to

stay inside you had to be outside you had to go

outside right it's the opposite today yeah make them stay inside

and won't let them go outside why is that right what's the rationale for why they should stay inside Safety.

Safety.

Yeah.

We didn't used to hear about all of the kidnappings and abuse in the media.

Right.

So people weren't afraid of it.

Yeah.

And the crazy thing is I think...

We hear about it now.

It's actually safer now, right?

Yeah, it's safer now.

Even in the States where they hear about this,

I think statistics say that it's actually safer than it was before.

Yes.

But the perception is there.

Although that could be because the children are all inside.

That's true.

That's a difficult one to figure out.

100

But I don't think it's that unsafe to play outside.

101

I think it's better for kids socially,

102

for their bodies, for their development to play outside if they can.

103

I agree.

104

I totally agree.

105

Kids definitely should be outside.

106

And kids should be bored.

107

I think that's one of the things that kids miss out on is boredom.

108

They're never bored now.

109

They've always got a screen to look at.

110

Right.

111

So, you know, obviously when we were young,

112

you had nothing to do.

113

So you had to go outside and find something tree yeah exactly oh that's

114

so fun i thought of something um we used to have

115

video watching parties oh yeah it's only one person in 10 had a video machine right

116

so we would all go to the video store together and

117

and argue over which videos to watch and choose some horror movies

118

and some comedies and then go to some one person's house and or watch them all together i do remember that Yeah,

119

it was a big thing.

120

No Netflix binging, but having a video party at someone's house was a big deal.

121

And I think movies were a much bigger deal back then because we didn't have screen time.

122

There was no such thing as screen time.

123

You had your TV, but that was not the same thing.

124

Your parents wouldn't let you watch that much TV anyway.

125

And so a movie was a big deal.

126

It was more of a big deal.

127

You didn't just watch it on Netflix when you were bored.

128

Yeah, but a kid these days,

129

it's just, you know, they're on their screen all the time.

130

It's just more digital pixels.

131

Yeah, different times.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
