6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
Hello.
3
This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
4
I'm Neil.
5
And I'm Beth.
6
Neil, when you're chatting with friends,
7
do you usually have the same or different opinion on things going on in the world?
8
Ooh, well, that's interesting.
9
I think I probably have quite similar opinions similar opinions and that's kind of why we're friends.
10
Ah, well, we might like to believe that we're accepting and tolerant of others' beliefs.
11
But for many people, it can be difficult to communicate with people who have very different opinions to our own.
12
And this lack of acceptance could be increasing with our use of social media.
13
For example, algorithms tend to show us what we already like and agree with.
14
Of course, we can't always agree with everyone else else.
15
We all have personal opinions and beliefs on topics like religion and politics.
16
But some worry that it's becoming more and more common to react with violence when they disagree,
17
than to solve disagreements together peacefully.
18
So are we becoming a more divided society?
19
Divided means in disagreement with and separated from others – to not be together.
20
And how can we be more accepting and open to the opinions of others?
21
That's what we'll be discussing in this programme and,
22
as usual, we'll be learning some useful new words and phrases.
23
Remember, you can find all the vocabulary from this programme on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
24
But first I have a question for you, Beth.
25
According to a recent Ipsos poll,
26
what percentage of the British population believes society is divided?
27
Is it a 20%?
28
b 50%? or c 80%?
29
I'm going to say 50%.
30
Well, we'll find out the answer later in the programme.
31
Paul Dolan, Professor of Behavioural Science at the London School of Economics,
32
thinks we should learn how to control our emotions and be open to discussions when we disagree.
33
Here he explains more about how to do this on BBC World Service programme All In The Mind.
34
Generally, we're going to be making better decisions and more respectfully if we calm down.
35
it takes 15 minutes when you're proper aroused for the amygdala to calm down
36
but within a few seconds it can start calming down right you take a deep breath
37
and you start feeling calmer it's not to say
38
that always being calm is good anger can be motivational
39
and positive emotions actually can be very good for us generally people make better decisions
40
and are more engaging and more open when they're happier
41
but much of the time it will be just the case of calming down to try
42
and take some the heat out of the environment.
43
Paul thinks we should take time to calm down when we feel aroused,
44
which here means to feel anger or strong disagreement.
45
He said it takes 15 minutes for the amygdala,
46
the part of the brain that experiences emotions,
47
to calm down when we're aroused.
48
While anger can be motivational,
49
– make us more determined and enthusiastic – Paul says people can speak more openly
50
when they're happier – when heat is taken out of the environment.
51
Heat, in this context, means an intense feeling, like anger.
52
Now, one recent dating experiment looked into what people say they want in an ideal partner,
53
according to their dating profile.
54
Researchers found that many single people included details on things like what they want their partner to look like,
55
their height, the political party they vote for,
56
but many also say they want a partner who is open-minded and tolerant of different views.
57
If you are open-minded, you're willing to listen to and consider new ideas.
58
However, the researchers concluded that while people want a partner to be open-minded and tolerant,
59
they don't want to be very open-minded themselves.
60
So how can we be more open to getting to know people that we might disagree with?
61
Here's Paul Dolan again, talking to presenter Claudia Hammond of BBC World Services,
62
All in the Mind.
63
So I guess one very obvious answer is to get offline.
64
I mean, to actually just get out more and meet people,
65
because it's what political scientists think is the silver bullet.
66
You know, the more you're around people that are different,
67
the more you realise that actually they're not that different and you become more tolerant and open-minded.
68
So being around people that are different,
69
I think that's probably the way that we're going to tackle that problem.
70
Paul says political scientists think the silver bullet is to get offline and meet people.
71
A silver bullet means a simple solution to a complicated problem.
72
By meeting people who have different opinions and beliefs to you,
73
the more you'll realise they're not that different to you at all.
74
And that could make you more accepting and lead to a society that is less divided.
75
And speaking of divided, isn't it time you revealed the answer to your question, Neil?
76
Yes, I asked what percentage of the British population believes society is divided,
77
according to a recent poll by the organisation Ipsos.
78
I said 50%.
79
Was that correct?
80
It was not correct.
81
It is in fact 80%.
82
Wow, that's a lot.
83
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned in this programme,
84
starting with divided, which means in disagreement, not together.
85
Aroused means feel a strong emotion, like anger.
86
If something is motivational, It makes us determined and enthusiastic.
87
Heat means an intense feeling, like anger.
88
If you are open-minded, you are willing to listen to and consider new ideas.
89
And finally, a silver bullet means a simple solution to a complicated problem.
90
Once again, our six minutes are up.

丰富的视频库
为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
通过观看和聆听BBC的《6分钟英语》，你可以在与朋友聊天和讨论敏感话题时提高英语口语能力。视频内容关于人们在社会中分歧的看法，能让你学习如何在意见不同的情况下保持开放的态度和进行有效交流。这有助于你更好地理解他人的观点，增强思维能力，同时也使你在雅思口语练习中更具优势。通过这个视频，你可以模仿发音，学习表达观点，甚至适当地处理争论等重要的沟通技能，强化你的言语表达能力，让你的会话更加流畅。
语法与表达在语境中的运用
- disagree（不同意）: 本文中这个词反复出现，明显强调了人们在社会话题上会有不同的观点。
- be open to（对...持开放态度）: 这个结构让你学到如何表述接受他人观点的态度。
- calm down（冷静下来）: 在情绪激动的时候，使用这个短语来描述控制情绪的必要性。
- a divided society（分裂的社会）: 这是一个重要的短语，有助于你理解当前社会议题，并在讨论中使用。
常见的发音陷阱
理解并模仿视频中的一些发音和重音会是学习的关键。例如，“accepting”这个词的发音对很多学习者来说可能略显复杂，注意重音的使用将帮助你提高发音准确性。此外，一些表达如“getting calmer”中的连读现象，若不注意可能会影响交流的流畅度。在进行看YouTube学英语时，尝试使用shadow speak和shadowspeaks的练习技巧，这样可以在日常对话中更好地运用自己的语言技能。
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。
