Hello everyone and welcome back to 5 -Minute English Practice.
2
I'm your host Jessica.
3
Thank you so much for joining me today.
4
In this episode we are going to talk about a really interesting and meaningful topic.
5
Introverts and extroverts and how we get our energy from different things.
6
Many people still misunderstand these two personality types.
7
Some think introverts loud and love being the center of attention.
8
But the truth is much deeper, and it can actually help us live better every day.
9
To make our conversation even richer, I have invited my good friend, Kathy, to join me.
10
Kathy is such a positive and energetic person.
11
Welcome to the show, Kathy.
12
Hi, Jessica.
13
Hi, everyone.
14
Thank you for having me.
15
I'm really excited to talk about this with you.
16
I'm so glad you're here.
17
Let's start with the basic idea.
18
Kathy, can you tell our listeners where the concepts of introvert and extrovert come from?
19
Sure.
20
Jessica.
21
The ideas were first introduced by the psychologist Carl Jung a long time ago.
22
He explained that the biggest difference is about where we get our energy.
23
Introverts feel refreshed when they spend time alone.
24
like reading, thinking quietly or enjoying peaceful moments.
25
Extroverts, on the other hand, get their energy from being around other people.
26
talking, laughing, and sharing ideas together.
27
That makes a lot of sense.
28
For me, I lean more toward the introvert side.
29
After a busy day at work or a big social event, I often feel tired if I stay with too many people for a long time.
30
I need some quiet time to recharge.
31
For example, I like to sit alone with a cup of tea, write in my journal, or take a calm walk in the park.
32
These moments help me feel fresh and clear again.
33
But that doesn't mean I don't like people.
34
I really enjoy deep conversations with close friends like you.
35
I'm quite the opposite.
36
As an extrovert, I feel full of energy when I'm surrounded by people.
37
Meeting new friends, chatting at a cafe, or working in a team makes me feel alive.
38
But if I stay home alone for too many hours, I start to feel bored and low on energy.
39
I need social connection to feel good.
40
That's so interesting.
41
One common mistake is thinking that one type is better than the other.
42
In reality, Both introverts and extroverts have their own special strengths.
43
Introverts are often very good at listening carefully.
44
Noticing small details, Thinking deeply.
45
and coming up with creative ideas.
46
Many great thinkers and leaders in history were introverts, like Albert Einstein or Susan Cain, The author of the book Quiet,
47
Yes, and extroverts bring lots of enthusiasm, quick thinking, and strong communication skills.
48
They're great at connecting people and spreading positive energy.
49
In a company or a classroom, we really need both types to work well together.
50
Introverts help us think carefully and avoid mistakes.
51
while extroverts help move ideas forward quickly.
52
I completely agree.
53
Another important thing is that most of us are not purely introvert or extrovert.
54
We are somewhere in the middle, what we call ambiverts.
55
It's more like a spectrum.
56
Sometimes we love big parties and sometimes we need quiet time alone.
57
Understanding this helps us be kinder to ourselves and to the people around us.
58
That's true for me, too.
59
I can be very outgoing at a party, but I also enjoy reading a book by myself on a Sunday afternoon.
60
Knowing this has helped me a lot in my daily life.
61
Exactly.
62
When we understand our own personality, we can design our days in a way that fits us better.
63
For introverts, it's helpful to plan some recharge time after social events, choose smaller groups, and use writing or messages to share ideas.
64
For extroverts, it's good to practice listening more carefully.
65
give others space to speak, and learn to enjoy some alone time without feeling guilty.
66
And this knowledge is also very useful in our relationships.
67
If your friend or partner is introverted, Try not to feel hurt when they want quiet time.
68
That's just how they get their energy back.
69
If they are extroverted, they usually feel happier when you ask questions and show real interest in their day.
70
That's such valuable advice.
71
In the end, the world needs both the calm depth of introverts and the bright energy of extroverts.
72
When we respect these differences, we can build stronger friendships, better teams, and a more understanding society.
73
I couldn't agree more, Jessica.
74
Thank you so much, Kathy, for sharing your thoughts and energy with us today.
75
And thank you, dear listeners, for spending this time with us.
76
Now it's your turn.
77
Are you more of an introvert, an extrovert, or somewhere in between?
78
How does it affect your daily life?
79
Please share your stories in the comments or send us a voice message.
80
We love hearing from all of you.
81
If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, a review.
82
It really helps the podcast grow.
83
See you next time everyone.
84
And thank you all for listening.
85
Take care.
86
And remember, there is no right or wrong personality, only different beautiful ways to shine.
87
Bye for now.

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：

被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的is introverted · are extroverted

需要注意的发音

说话人用了 10 次缩略和弱读形式，例如 I'm, couldn't, doesn't。请按听到的简短形式来说。

  • “th” 音: thinker /ˈθɪŋ.kɚ/, enthusiasm /ɪnˈθuziæzəm/
  • “sh” 和 “zh” 音: refresh /ɹɪˈfɹɛʃ/, shine /ʃaɪn/
  • 长单词——注意重音位置: extroverted /ˈɛkstɹəˌvəɹtɪd/, introverted /ˈɪn.tɹəˌvɜːɹ.təd/, misunderstand /mɪs.ʌn.də(ɹ)ˈstænd/, energetic /ˌɛn.əɹˈdʒɛt.ɪk/, psychologist /ˌsaɪˈkɑl.ə.d͡ʒɪst/

中文母语者容易读错的音：

  • /v/ — 不要读成 /w/，上齿轻触下唇: introvert /ˈɪn.tɹə.vɝt/, extrovert /ˈɛkstɹəˌvəɹt/, extroverted /ˈɛkstɹəˌvəɹtɪd/, introverted /ˈɪn.tɹəˌvɜːɹ.təd/, ambivert /ˈæmbəˌvɚt/
  • 词尾辅音 — 要读清楚，后面不要加元音: introvert /ˈɪn.tɹə.vɝt/, extrovert /ˈɛkstɹəˌvəɹt/, extroverted /ˈɛkstɹəˌvəɹtɪd/, introverted /ˈɪn.tɹəˌvɜːɹ.təd/, recharge /ɹiːˈtʃɑː(ɹ)dʒ/
  • /r/ 和 /l/ 的区别: purely /ˈpjʊɹli/, classroom /ˈklɑːsɹʊm/

如何用这段视频练习

  1. 先完整听一遍视频，不要开口，记下不认识的单词。
  2. 用正常速度逐句跟读，每句重复到你的节奏与说话人一致为止。
  3. 录下自己的声音并与原声对比，特别注意 extrovert, extroverted, introverted 这类单词。

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。
