Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: We made YOUR Dream Phone
Đang tạo bài học...
1
We've made dream phones for MKBHD, JerryRigEverything and Mr. Who's the Boss and under every single one of them, you shed a lot of thoughts.
2
Once we filter out the ones comparing me to Jack Harlow, we aren't left with many, but we combed through the rest to work out the most requested dream phone features from you, our community.
3
So with the help of our experts here at Nothing, let's go through your most requested features, break down the compromises and show you how it would look both inside and out.
4
Starting with the most requested feature of them all, size.
5
Size?
6
Size.
7
Okay, okay, you want a small phone, we get it.
8
A sub 6 inch phone
9
that you can use with one hand seems to be more appealing than oxygen for many of you watching, so let's talk about it.
10
It's a common gripe amongst you lot that phones have gotten too big.
11
We're on a planet full of people with hyper-extended thumbs carrying massive glass
12
and metal slabs in their pockets that take two hands to properly use.
13
For many, it's baffling why phone makers keep doing it.
14
Asus made a small phone that many point to as proof that it's possible.
15
The Zenfone The 9 was a 5.9 inch device with a flagship chip, high refresh rate display and even a headphone jack.
16
It made compromises to achieve this, notably storage and battery capacity, but most telling of all is the fact that this section is entirely past tense.
17
I was chatting to one of our experts, Patrick, who shared a really insightful take on this.
18
A small phone is a big desire for people who use their phone as a secondary device.
19
Lots of people use their phone for everything.
20
They use it as a camera, a laptop, a TV and a phone, and for them a bigger screen, battery and more processing power is a major selling point.
21
But you nerds watching this probably have other devices to do some of that stuff, and so feel that your phone is bigger than it needs to be.
22
And that's totally valid.
23
This is your dream phone after all, so honey, I shrunk the phone.
24
With an approximately 14% decrease in size compared to the 4a Pro, we may have to make some tough decisions.
25
To build a solid idea for how this phone would come together, Patrick took apart a brand new phone 4a, and thanks to our friends at LumaField, we have a CT scan of the inside of the device
26
so we can show you just how Dame Judy dense this thing is.
27
Patrick measured the size of all the internal components
28
and mocked up a rough CAD model so we can see exactly how much space we have to play with, about 100 centimetres cubed as it turns out.
29
Have you heard about the Steve Jobs iPod prototype thing with the fish tank?
30
When they were developing the first prototype of the iPod, Steve Jobs wanted to make it smaller and all the engineers were like, no, we can't do that, there's not enough space.
31
And so he, baller mode, took the prototype and dumped it in a fish tank.
32
And there were loads of bubbles came out.
33
And he was like, there's clearly space to make it smaller.
34
And then probably a mic dropped and walked out.
35
Like a legend.
36
Steve the Beast Jarves.
37
Another huge thank you to Patrick, as well as Calvin, Justin, and the rest of the Nothing ID team for helping us out with this.
38
So with some proper data in our back pocket, what else did you guys ask for?
39
Well, I doubt any of this will come as a major shock.
40
But some of your other most requested features are headphone jack, expandable storage, and no front camera notch or cutout.
41
Headphone jacks disappeared from most modern smartphones years ago now, but the fury remains amongst those who love to tell you all about how their wired earbuds never ran out of battery.
42
So why did they vanish?
43
Well, it depends who you ask, but it boils down to space and demand.
44
They take up space, and not enough customers demand it.
45
Inside your phone, there's a story of a team of people trying to get the most out of every precious millimetre,
46
and with the headphone jack taking up nearly 300mm3 and the opportunity of Bluetooth or USB-C devices instead, big brands bore the axe down on the jack.
47
But not this time, even though our phone is small, the headphone jack is back baby!
48
No more recharge headset nonsense interrupting your favourite podcasts on the train.
49
I don't even watch podcasts.
50
Just breathe the fucking streets.
51
Next up is expandable storage, so a micro SD card slot.
52
This hasn't gone the way of the Dodo quite the same as the headphone jack, but it's certainly less common than it used to be, particularly at the higher end of the market.
53
This takes up around 400 cubic millimeters within the phone.
54
So while expandable storage can be great, many makers have opted to take the more space efficient route of including more internal storage off the bat.
55
But for you guys, we're including it.
56
I'm not sure what's getting displaced though.
57
And if that wasn't enough, we've included a cool pop-up front facing camera.
58
These were a popular idea a few years back, but have since been made less desirable by the advent of under screen cameras.
59
They still have their advantages though.
60
Not being behind a screen makes for clearer images.
61
And when it's not in use, it literally can't see anything, which probably soothes the minds of people who could tape over their webcams.
62
We know what you're doing.
63
So what's the downside?
64
Take a guess.
65
The experts say the retractable camera apparatus takes up a whopping 2016 millimeters cubed.
66
That's 2% of the whole phone.
67
This all might be sounding a little worrying for our dream phone.
68
There's a whole lot of components fighting for not much space in this thing.
69
Surely something's got to give.
70
Well actually, one of your other suggestions may give us a way out.
71
Ah, camera bumps.
72
The normalization of these huge protrusions on the back of most phones left some people feeling a little wobbly.
73
But does it have to be this way?
74
Well, good cameras take up space, and while phone makers wheel out all sorts of nifty tricks to limit the damage, almost everyone has resorted to substantial bumps and plateaus to fit the gear.
75
But a few commenters at home propose the same idea as our experts, thicken the rest of the phone to match.
76
Not only does this eliminate the bump, but it gives you more room to play with inside the
77
phone to maybe avoid having to sacrifice too much of the battery volume for all the other features.
78
Seems like a slam dunk.
79
So why isn't this common?
80
Well, thickness isn't exactly seen as a desirable trait amongst phone buyers, and combined with the smaller size, this thing does look a bit stocky.
81
But hey, no harm in having more to hold on to.
82
We can't leave that in.
83
You can't do that gesture, that's it.
84
That's what you made me do.
85
I like going in here.
86
We'd be remiss not to mention one of the most commonly requested things in the comments, one that really gets people going, bloatware.
87
Or rather, removing it.
88
Everyone wants a clean OS, and what's cleaner than having no apps at all?
89
In fact, we felt an operating system was a little too close to the line, so this phone doesn't even come with one of them.
90
Should we even have a BIOS?
91
Just pure bloat-free hardware.
92
Back to the hardware side now though, and it's time to talk compromise.
93
If we decided not to thicken the phone, keeping it a more traditional modern smartphone shape, the competition of the space inside the device would end up brutally cannibalizing the battery.
94
This would lead to a knock-on effect of compromises, likely including lowering the screen resolution, downgrading the chip, and potentially ditching things like the fingerprint scanner.
95
This is a dream phone, so you're getting the thick boy instead.
96
Even still, squeezing in a competitively sized battery is a tough ask.
97
With all those features in a relatively small chassis, we'd get approximately 3200mAh with a traditional lithium battery,
98
or up to 3800mAh with a silicon carbon battery, neither of which are especially big.
99
With this in mind though, we've opted for a silicon carbon battery to really make the most out of the available space.
100
These aren't without their own compromises though, as we detailed in the previous episode.
101
Which you should really watch after if you haven't already.
102
So where does that land us?
103
Roll the tape.
104
Roll the tape!
105
So Would you want a phone like this?
106
And what features are you furious we didn't include?
107
Comment below and if there's enough cool ideas, maybe we'll do another one of these and milk you for more views.
108
In the meantime, I'm gonna go back to not making this phone, bye.
Tại sao nên luyện nói với video này?
Luyện nói tiếng Anh qua video không chỉ giúp bạn cải thiện phát âm tiếng anh chuẩn mà còn giúp bạn quen thuộc với ngữ điệu và cách sử dụng từ ngữ trong câu. Video này đưa ra những ý kiến từ cộng đồng về một chiếc điện thoại mơ ước, tạo bối cảnh thú vị cho việc luyện tập. Bằng cách nói theo từng đoạn trong video, bạn sẽ học hỏi được cách diễn đạt ý tưởng, cảm xúc và thái độ khi nói tiếng Anh. Hơn nữa, việc thực hành này sẽ giúp bạn tự tin hơn trong việc giao tiếp.
Cấu trúc ngữ pháp & Biểu hiện trong ngữ cảnh
Dưới đây là một số cấu trúc quan trọng mà người nói đã sử dụng trong video, giúp bạn mở rộng vốn từ và cách diễn đạt:
- "It's a common gripe amongst you lot that...": Đây là cách diễn tả những phàn nàn phổ biến, giúp bạn hiểu cách sử dụng "gripe" trong ngữ cảnh.
- "For many, it's baffling why...": Cấu trúc này có thể sử dụng để diễn tả sự ngạc nhiên hoặc khó hiểu về một vấn đề nào đó.
- "This is your dream phone after all...": Câu này cho thấy sự nhấn mạnh và sự khẳng định, rất hữu ích trong các cuộc trò chuyện khi bạn muốn nhấn mạnh một điểm quan trọng.
- "...thanks to our friends at...": Cách bày tỏ lòng biết ơn hoặc công nhận sự hỗ trợ từ người khác, khá phổ biến trong giao tiếp hàng ngày.
Các chướng ngại phát âm thường gặp
Khi luyện nghe nói qua video, bạn có thể gặp một số từ hoặc cách phát âm khó. Một số từ như "gripe", "baffling", và "prototype" có thể gây khó khăn cho người mới học. Hãy chú ý cách nhấn âm và intonation khi người nói diễn đạt ý của họ. Đặc biệt, bạn nên tập phát âm những từ này một cách rõ ràng để tránh nhầm lẫn trong giao tiếp. Ngoài ra, việc sử dụng phần mềm shadowing sẽ giúp bạn luyện tập phong cách nói này một cách hiệu quả hơn, từ đó cải thiện khả năng giao tiếp và phát âm tiếng anh chuẩn của mình.
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.
