Hi everyone and welcome back to the 5-Minute English Practice.
2
I'm Jessica and today we're talking about bad habits.
3
Why we have them, how they affect our lives,
4
and how we can change them.
5
And guess what?
6
I'm not alone today.
7
We have a special guest.
8
Peter.
9
Hi Peter.
10
Welcome to the show.
11
Hi Jessica.
12
Hi everyone.
13
I'm excited to be here.
14
Although I'm not sure how excited I am to talk about my bad habits.
15
Don't worry, we all have them.
16
Today we'll explore them together.
17
So Peter, let's start simple.
18
What do you think a bad habit is?
19
Hmm.
20
I think a bad habit is something we do again and again,
21
even though we know it's not good for us.
22
For example, biting nails, staying up late,
23
or being on the phone too much.
24
Right.
25
A bad habit is usually something small,
26
but if we do it every day,
27
it can affect our health, mood, or productivity.
28
Some habits are physical, like eating too much junk food.
29
Others are mental, like overthinking or procrastinating.
30
Yes, procrastinating.
31
I think that one belongs to me.
32
You're not alone.
33
Many people struggle with that.
34
Let's talk about some of the most common bad habits.
35
Peter, what's one bad habit you often see around you?
36
Honestly?
37
Scrolling social media for too long.
38
Sometimes I pick up my phone just to check something quickly.
39
And suddenly an hour has passed.
40
Absolutely.
41
Social media apps are designed to keep people scrolling.
42
Another common bad habit is staying up late, even when we're tired.
43
Yes.
44
I often tell myself, okay, I'll sleep at 11.
45
But then I watch one more video and suddenly it's 1 a.m.
46
Same here sometimes.
47
Other common habits include skipping breakfast,
48
eating too much sugar, checking the phone first thing in the morning,
49
not drinking enough water, being late.
50
Oh no. I think I just realized I have at least three of those.
51
Don't worry, Peter.
52
This is a safe space.
53
All right, Peter.
54
Be honest with us.
55
What's your worst bad habit?
56
Okay.
57
I'll share it.
58
My worst bad habit is procrastination.
59
I always say, I'll do it later.
60
Whether it's work, laundry, or answering emails.
61
Later, later, later.
62
How does that affect you?
63
Well, I end up feeling stressed.
64
For example, if I have a project due on Friday,
65
I don't do anything until Thursday night.
66
Then I panic, drink three coffees,
67
and sleep at 3 a.m.
68
That sounds stressful but relatable.
69
It really is.
70
The funny thing is, I know it's bad,
71
but I keep doing it.
72
That's the thing with habits.
73
They're automatic.
74
We do them without thinking.
75
So why do bad habits happen?
76
Well, there are a few reasons.
77
Bad habits sometimes feel good or easy,
78
like eating snacks or watching videos.
79
When we're stressed, we look for quick comfort.
80
If we repeat something many times,
81
our brain gets used to it.
82
Procrastination happens when we're avoiding something difficult or boring.
83
That makes sense.
84
I procrastinate because starting something difficult feels uncomfortable.
85
Exactly.
86
But understanding the reason is the first step to changing it.
87
Let's talk about solutions.
88
Peter, have you tried to break any of your bad habits?
89
Yes.
90
Recently, I tried a rule called the two-minute rule.
91
If something takes less than two minutes, just do it immediately.
92
Like sending a quick reply or washing a cup.
93
That's a great strategy.
94
Here are a few more tips for breaking bad habits.
95
1. Make the habit difficult.
96
For example, if you want to scroll less,
97
put your phone in another room.
98
2. Replace the habit.
99
Instead of eating chips, eat fruit.
100
Instead of scrolling at night,
101
Read a few pages in a book.
102
3. Start small.
103
You don't need to change everything at once.
104
Sleep 15 minutes earlier, drink one more glass of water, etc. 4.
105
Track your progress.
106
Seeing your improvement motivates you.
107
I tried replacing my night scrolling with listening to calming music.
108
It actually helps me sleep faster.
109
That's a good replacement habit.
110
it.
111
Before we end today's episode, here's an important reminder.
112
Everyone has bad habits.
113
What matters is not being perfect,
114
but being aware and improving slowly.
115
Yes, and don't be too hard on yourself.
116
Change takes time.
117
Thank you so much, Peter, for joining us today.
118
Thanks for having me.
119
This was fun.
120
And also a little eye-opening.
121
Same here.
122
And thank you listeners for spending your time with us.

练习技巧
在观看视频并进行跟读时，请注意节奏和语调。此视频中的对话速度适中，非常适合进行英语影子跟读。尝试在每个句子结束时重复说出你听到的话，这种方法被称为shadow speech。你可以选择在安静的环境中练习，尽量跟随对话者的语调和情感。这种方式非常有助于提高口语流利度和发音准确性。记得多次练习，直到你可以轻松地跟上他们的说话速度。同时，可以查找一些专门的shadowing site，为你提供更丰富的练习资源。通过不断练习，你将能在雅思口语考试和日常对话中更加自信自如。
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。
