Neil, how did it all start?
3
Well, Jack Dorsey became interested in digital communications at a very early age.
4
He was particularly interested in the communication problems of taxi drivers and delivery trucks,
5
In fact, all companies with vehicles that needed to stay in contact in real time.
6
When he was 15, he produced some communication software that is still used by some taxicab companies today.
7
That's interesting.
8
So he started very young, Did he go to university?
9
Yes, he did.
10
First, he studied at the University of Science and Technology in Missouri.
11
Then he went to New York University.
12
But he didn't finish his degree, like many other high -tech entrepreneurs before him: Bill Gates,
13
Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, the list is very long.
14
Instead, he moved to Oakland, California.
15
And is that when he started Twitter?
16
No, not immediately.
17
In fact, he started a company to sell his communications software, and he sold it online.
18
But then he had an idea for a different type of communication service.
19
One where you could exchange short messages with all your friends in real time.
20
He found two partners who were interested and started a new company with them.
21
And then, immediately after, he created a simple user -friendly website where users could post short messages of 140 characters or less.
22
It took him just two weeks.
23
Oh, really?
24
So this was the beginning of Twitter as we know it?
25
Yes, that's right.
26
And Jack Dorsey posted the first Twitter message or tweet on the 21st of March 2006.
27
So, what was the message?
28
Something original and memorable, I hope?
29
No, I'm afraid not.
30
The first tweet was the words...
31
Just setting up my Twitter.
32
So not so original.
33
And was Twitter an immediate success?
34
No, not at first.
35
A lot of people didn't see why the world needed another messaging service.
36
And there were technical problems with the site in the early days.
37
It wasn't very reliable.
38
But in 2008, Barack Obama and John McCain used Twitter for the first time to communicate to voters in their presidential campaigns.
39
Today everybody uses it.
40
Not only politicians, but also pop stars, sports personalities, and of course, you and me.
41
Neil Harris, thank you.
42
We'll hear more about recent developments at Twitter just after the break.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语?
通过这段视频,您不仅可以了解Twitter的创始故事,还能够提高您的英语口语能力。在对话中,真实的交流环境让您能够练习日常对话中常用的表达。视频中的人物之间的互动展示了如何用英语有效沟通,特别是在商务和科技领域。此外,您可以通过模仿说话者的语调和语速,增强自己的发音技巧。喜欢看YouTube学英语的您,绝不能错过这段内容!
语法与表达在语境中
- 过去时态:在讲述Jack Dorsey的故事时,使用了过去时态。例如,“他在15岁时...”。这种结构帮助表达他的经历和成就。
- 被动语态:例如,“这些软件仍然被一些出租车公司使用。”被动语态在描述技术或产品的使用时尤为重要。
- 条件句:说到“如果没有...,他不会开始...”时,条件句展示了因果关系,帮助表达可能性。
这些语法结构在日常交流中非常实用,通过模仿视频中说话者的讲话方式,您可以加深对这些表达的理解,进而提高英语能力。
常见发音陷阱
视频中有一些词语和短语可能会对非母语者造成发音难题。例如,“communication”和“original”这两个词,许多学习者容易发错音。在美国口音中,重音的不同会改变单词的含义及其听感。此外,短语“short messages”中的t音可能会让人难以把握。通过shadowspeak的练习,您可以专注于提高英语发音,克服这些常见的发音陷阱,让您的口语表达更加流利流畅!
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。
