So today, I'm going to talk about phones.

I was talking about this topic the other day

and I got to thinking about how important phones are in our everyday lives.

So let's talk a little bit about this.

Let's go briefly through the history of phones.

Even though some basic versions of the telephone had been invented earlier, Alexander Graham Bell is usually credited with the invention since he won the first US patent for it.

A patent is a government license given to someone who comes up with an idea for an invention.

It excludes other people from making or selling this invention for a certain number of years.

So, Alexander Graham Bell received a patent for the telephone in 1876.

Prior to that, people couldn't talk over long distances.

They could only send messages through telegraph or some other means.

You can imagine how revolutionary this invention was, when suddenly people could talk and have their voice heard in a different location.

It must have seemed like really advanced technology at the time.

But obviously telephones didn't just become common household items overnight.

It would be decades before this device became commonplace, and at the turn of the century, there were still fewer than a million phones in use.

One big milestone in the development of phones was the first transcontinental phone call, which was made from New York to San Francisco in 1915.

Nowadays, this might not seem like a huge feat, but this type of long distance communication was completely unheard of at that time.

The telephone was changing the way people thought about communication.

Over the next few decades, many more millions of households installed landlines, and the telephone became the king of communication.

Then, fast forward to 1973, and the world saw the introduction of the first cell phone made by Motorola.

But if you're thinking that this cell phone bore any resemblance to today's phones, think again.

The first mobile phone was a monster.

It definitely couldn't fit in anyone's pocket.

Later on in 1989, the first flip phone appeared on the market.

A flip phone is a phone that you open like this, the type of phone that I had growing up.

In 1992, the first text message was sent between phones.

Obviously today, text messages are an essential function of all cell phones

and people communicate more through messages than they do through calls.

Come to think of it, it seems like people try to avoid calling and instead send text messages whenever possible.

Another cell phone feature that we take for granted nowadays is the camera.

The first camera phone came out in Japan in 1999 and then later on in the rest of the world.

And then finally, in 2007, the first iPhone came out, stunning the world with its revolutionary design and touchscreen display.

Even though there were already smartphones in existence at that time, the iPhone really brought smartphones onto the scene.

After that, other companies followed suit and started releasing smartphone after smartphone.

Nowadays, it seems like practically everyone who can afford it has a smartphone.

This device has become a necessity in many people's lives and most people spend many hours every week using it.

Actually, a lot of people don't even use their computer that much anymore because they can do everything from their phone.

If you had told people just a few decades ago about the cell phones of today, they probably wouldn't have believed you.

Who knows what type of innovation we might see with phones in the future?

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Okay, now I'm going to ask you three questions about today's video.

Write your answers and a comment down below.

Number one: In what year was the first transcontinental phone call made?

Number two: Which company made the world's first cell phone?

And number three, what important cell phone feature was first added in 1992?

I'll see you next time.

關於這節課

在這一節課中，學習者將通過收聽與手機相關的內容來練習英語聽力和理解能力。我們將探討手機的發展歷史，以及它在我們日常生活中的重要性。通過理解電話的演變，學習者可以更好地掌握關於通訊的相關詞彙與用法。此外，通過跟讀和模仿發音，學習者能夠提高他們的語音和流利度。

關鍵詞彙與短語

電話 (telephone) - 一種用於遠距離通訊的裝置。
專利 (patent) - 國家授予發明者的權利，保護其發明在特定年限內不被他人複製。
長途電話 (long-distance call) - 在不同城市或國家之間進行的電話通話。
平板手機 (smartphone) - 配備觸控式螢幕和多功能應用的現代手機。

影子跟讀 (shadow speech) - 一種通過模仿講者來提高口語的練習方法。

練習技巧

在觀看本影片並跟讀時，請留意說話者的語速和語調。由於本節課的內容圍繞著手機的歷史和發展，因此您可以重點注意與技術和溝通相關的詞彙。嘗試在收聽的同時用心模仿每一個詞的發音和語氣，這將有助於您掌握更自然的表達方式。

進行英語影子跟讀時，建議您在第一次聽時集中注意力理解內容，接下來逐句進行模仿。嘗試重複說話者的聲音和語調，將自己的聲音錄下來，並與原聲進行對比，以找出差距並改進。不斷練習，您會發現自己的口音和流利度都有顯著提升，通過這種shadow speak的方法，您將能夠更好地掌握英語會話。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	had been invented · was made · was sent
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	someone who comes · call, which was · everyone who can
過去進行時 was/were + -ing — 過去某一時刻正在進行的動作	was talking · was changing
用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 動詞 — 有可能但不確定的事	might not seem · might see

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
