1
Describe a time when someone you know found a clever solution to a problem.
2
I'd like to tell you how my older brother came up
3
with a brilliant way to stop his son from eating too much junk food.
4
Actually, I didn't witness it in person, but I saw it in a video he posted on social media.
5
It happened quite recently, around two months ago.
6
At the time, his son had developed a habit of eating unhealthy snacks on a daily basis.
7
No matter how hard his parents tried to talk him out of it, he kept asking for them.
8
My brother then came across an idea online and decided to give it a try.
9
First, he used an AI tool to create what looked like
10
an ultrasound scan of a stomach with some creepy -looking worms moving around inside it.
11
He then pretended to be a doctor and performed an ultrasound scan on his son's belly.
12
When his son saw the footage, he completely freaked out and started crying.
13
From that moment on, he promised to try his best to stay away from unhealthy snacks.
14
It was quite hilarious but clever at the same time.
15
To tell you the truth, I'd never imagined that someone could use AI for something like that.
16
I called my brother afterwards and asked him whether it had actually worked.
17
And believe it or not, it had.
18
The whole thing actually reminded me of my own childhood.
19
You know, my parents used to tell me
20
that something nasty might grow inside my stomach if I ate too much junk food.
21
Even though it scared me at the time, it did help me stay away from unhealthy snacks.
22
So based on my experience, I could understand why my brother tried this method.
23
It might not work for every child, but in his son's case, it worked like a charm,
24
which is why I thought it was such a clever solution.
25
Do you think children are born clever, or do they learn to be clever?
26
That's an interesting one, I must say.
27
I think it can be both.
28
Geniuses aside, some children may be naturally more intelligent than their peers, partly because of genetics.
29
Others may not be so pried at first,
30
but they can develop their intelligence over time by doing mentally stimulating activities like reading, studying, or solving puzzles.
31
Then there are also kids who are born smart and work hard to become even better.
32
How important are schools in helping children become more clever?
33
I'd say schools play a crucial role in that.
34
You know, schools provide an environment where children can discover their strengths and weaknesses.
35
With their teacher's support, they can get a clearer picture of what they're good at and where they need to improve,
36
which can help them develop in a more well -rounded way.
37
That said, the role of parents is just as important, since nobody understands a child better than their mom and dad.
38
Do you agree or disagree that very clever children are usually happy?
39
I partly agree with this idea.
40
It's true that smart kids tend to have an easier time academically since they can learn much faster than others.
41
They may also receive a lot of praise and admiration from people around them,
42
but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're happier than those who aren't as clever.
43
For me personally, the way they're raised, the environment they grow up in,
44
and the experiences they have growing up play a much bigger role in their levels of happiness.
45
Why may a person be very good at one thing but not another?
46
Oh, I guess that's perfectly normal because as far as I know, to become excellent at something,
47
you need to spend a huge amount of time practicing and learning, potentially thousands of hours.
48
That's why it's extremely hard for one person to master many different things.
49
Of course, there are some people who excel in multiple fields, but they're only a small minority.
50
Why does society need people with different types of intelligence?
51
Well, I'm not an expert on intelligence, but I suppose it probably comes down to variety.
52
I mean, if society only had people with one type of intelligence,
53
there would be an oversupply of workers in one field and a shortage in others.
54
And that definitely wouldn't be ideal for a sustainable economy.
55
For example, if everyone were a doctor, then it would be the engineers, entertainers, or teachers.
56
Do you think people can become very good at anything if they try hard enough?
57
I wouldn't say so.
58
I don't deny that with enough effort and practice, you can become reasonably good at almost anything.
59
But it takes more than just hard work to achieve greatness.
60
You will also need a bit of talent and, in some cases, certain physical attributes.
61
For example, in professional sports, factors like height, body type,
62
or natural athletic ability can give some people a significant advantage.
63
And these aren't things that you can completely change through hard work.
64
At the end of the day, it really depends on what you are trying to become good at.

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。
