Hello, this is 6 minutes English from BBC Learning English.
2
I'm Neil.
3
And I'm Pekka.
4
Neil, I noticed that you were checking your phone before you came into the studio to record this program.
5
Yes, I probably was.
6
You know, Pekka, I spend too much time looking at my phone.
7
And I really don't like it.
8
How are you?
9
I don't think you are alone.
10
I also spend way too much time looking at my phone.
11
Well, Pekka, we are both others.
12
But today, we are talking about screen time and children's screen time.
13
That's how much time you spend using devices like smartphones, tablets and laptops.
14
Yes, and it's a particular worry of many people that they shouldn't spend too much time on this device.
15
At the end of last year, Australia passed a set to choose a major IELTS for under 16.
16
And countries like the UK are considering similar measures.
17
So why did this?
18
In this episode, we will hear from a clinical psychologist
19
and researcher at the University of Cambridge talking about screen time and children.
20
As usual, we will be learning some useful new words and phrases.
21
And remember, you will find all these episodes vocabulary along with the screen on our website bbclearningenglish.com.
22
But first, Neil, I have a question for you.
23
According to the UK media regulator,
24
how many children 8, 3 to 4 have a smartphone? Is it A.
25
1 in 20, B.
26
1 in 10, or C.
27
1 in 5?
28
Wow, well, I'm gonna guess 1 in 20, but I think it's probably more than that.
29
Well, we will find out the answer later.
30
Dr. Emily Good-Arch is a research associate at the University of Cambridge.
31
Here she tells Simon M.
32
Carlton Brister of BBC World Service Program Test Live,
33
he heard her thoughts on whether we should take away a children's screen device completely.
34
Yeah, I think it's not as much as getting them away from technology,
35
but being really intentional about how we use technology with children.
36
For me, the board absolutely needs to be hired
37
and therefore I think about how to design products that think about children first.
38
and really think about how children at different stages learn and develop,
39
and then see if there's a way that technology can enable that.
40
And Emily highlights how rather than stopping children from using technology,
41
parents need to be more intentional about how the children use it.
42
An intention is a plan or reason to do something,
43
so to be intentional is to act with that plan or reason in mind.
44
This may take you act more carefully as a result.
45
Emily O says the board needs to be higher.
46
The idiom the board is low means that the standard expectations or requirements are minimal and very easy to meet.
47
Therefore, she believes that board needs to be higher.
48
Parents need to make their expectations higher.
49
They need to think or ask more carefully when considering how much time children spend with technology.
50
You might also hear people say set the board higher or lower.
51
Emily believes that being more intentional and setting the bar higher will enable children to learn and develop alongside technology.
52
If you enable something, you encourage somebody's ability to do something or to make something possible.
53
Now let's hear Dr. Becky Kennedy, a clinical faculty and founder of online parenting platform,
54
talking about how parents should have a teacher and children.
55
From BBC at World Service Program, Tech Life, I find parents are very, very eager to understand what really happening.
56
Around technology in kids and then have practical,
57
realistic things they can do in their home to make little self that feel better.
58
Becky has found that many parents are eager to understand their children's use of technology.
59
Eager is an adjective that describes wanting to do or have something very much.
60
Becky also talk about making little self.
61
Becky share has an example on a sheet that can help parents reduce.
62
Children screen time moving the device somewhere it can't be seen.
63
You can even say to a kid, you know why I'm moving?
64
It's actually
65
because it's a really hard time for me to spot the
66
best from you to see a screen in a room
67
and not once I wasn't setting you up for success then
68
explain how it's difficult for children to be expected to reduce their screen time if they can see their device.
69
Having the device is built doesn't set them up for success.
70
It says someone else for something you prepare them for it.
71
Yes, for example, earlier I said Neil for a job when I asked him a question about screen time.
72
Neil, I asked you, according to the UK media regulator, how many children in 3 to 4 have a smartphone?
73
And I said 1 in 20.
74
Well, it seems in fact C, what in FI?
75
Wow, I thought it may be more than I said.
76
Now let's recap the vocabulary we have learned.
77
Start with intentional.
78
It's an adjective to describe acting with a plan or reason in mind.
79
We have the expression the board needs to be higher.
80
To set the bar higher is to make your expectation higher.
81
We also had in the book, this is to increase someone's ability or to make something possible.
82
To be eager is to want to do or have something very much.
83
A shift is a small change.
84
You can also use it as a verb to mean changing something slightly.
85
And if you say someone else for something, you prepare them for it.
86
Once again, our 6 minutes are up.
87
If you enjoyed this episode, you will find a quiz and a free workshop to practice the vocabulary you have learned on our website.

練習技巧
在進行本次影像學習時,建議您利用 shadowspeaks 的方法進行有效的shadow speech練習。這段視頻的語速相對較慢,非常適合初學者進行影子練習。嘗試重複 Neil 和 Pekka 的對話,起初可以暫時將音量調低,讓您的發音和語調更接近母語者。如果需要,您可以隨時暫停視頻,仔細模仿他們的語調和節奏。
為了提升您的學習效果,務必關注您使用電子設備時的環境。選一個安靜的地方,避免干擾,讓自己能夠全心投入到 shadowing 的過程中。當您發現自己能夠流利地跟上他們的對話節奏時,可以逐漸增加播放速度,挑戰自己並提高學習的效果。記得在每次練習後反思,思考如何更好地應用這些科技詞彙,以促進兒童的發展。
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。
