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?

练习技巧

在观看本视频并跟读时，请留意说话者的语速和语调。由于本节课的内容围绕着手机的历史和发展，因此您可以重点注意与技术和沟通相关的词汇。尝试在收听的同时用心模仿每一个词的发音和语气，这将有助于您掌握更自然的表达方式。

进行英语影子跟读时，建议您在第一次听时集中注意力理解内容，接下来逐句进行模仿。尝试重复说话者的声音和语调，将自己的声音录下来，并与原声进行对比，以找出差距并改进。不断练习，您会发现自己的口音和流利度都有显著提升，通过这种shadow speak的方法，您将能够更好地掌握英语会话。

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：

结构	视频中的用法
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的	had been invented · was made · was sent
定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物	someone who comes · call, which was · everyone who can
过去进行时 was/were + -ing — 过去某一时刻正在进行的动作	was talking · was changing
用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 动词 — 有可能但不确定的事	might not seem · might see

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
