1
Technology.
2
Patricia, is it changing people for the better or for the worse?
3
I think it's doing both.
4
It depends on the person.
5
I think technology is an amazing tool and resource,
6
but I also think that people can become easily addicted to things.
7
I agree.
8
Yeah, like their phones or social media.
9
So, I mean, it's like anything in life.
10
It has its advantages and disadvantages.
11
What do you think is one of the biggest advantages it has for us right now?
12
I think information.
13
You know, we can access information so easily now.
14
We can look up, you know, anything we can dream of doing,
15
we can Google it and find either a tutorial or a book.
16
You know, there's just endless information about every topic.
17
And then, you know, if you can't find what you're looking for, you can write about what you're looking for yourself online and help other people.
18
So, you know, that is huge right now.
19
Okay.
20
What about a negative for technology?
21
Something you think it's doing to, you know, impact us negatively?
22
I mean, it definitely impacts our relationships, especially if they are more inclined to be introverted.
23
They're not forced to go outside their comfort zone so much.
24
They can stay home and send messages or just stay home
25
and play video games and not really engage in socializing with an actual.
26
human being.
27
And I don't think, I think while it is nice to be able to exchange messages easily,
28
I also, you know, think that that is not,
29
like that doesn't take the place of actually talking to a human face-to-face.
30
I think our society still needs that in-person connection.
31
And I think, you know, some people aren't getting that anymore because they're so involved with their online presence or...
32
Okay.
33
Yeah.
34
Now, I think a big part of that is the technological advances surrounding things like social media, how do you feel about children being exposed to social media or things like that?
35
I definitely think it should be limited for them.
36
Parents really need to be a role model for their children and,
37
you know, put boundaries in place for themselves as well.
38
I think that's the best way you know to be a
39
good role model for for children by limiting their own their own screen time
40
and and what they're doing on social media so
41
that you know children can learn what is what is healthy
42
i think it's all about balance there needs to be a healthy healthy balance
43
and you know if parents find
44
that their children are spending too much time in front of a screen or on social media, or, you know, they're being bullied,
45
I think they need to be involved and they need to set boundaries for their kids where those things are concerned.
46
Okay.
47
Last question for you.
48
What do you think is the most important and beneficial technological advance?
49
Sorry, beneficial technological advancement that we've seen?
50
It doesn't have to be today.
51
You can go all the way back to whenever.
52
Probably, I mean, technological advancement in medicine is probably the most,
53
the thing that has seriously affected our society and our world the most.
54
you know being able to mass produce vaccines you know comes to mind or
55
you know robots who can perform surgery things like
56
that I think have actually really made a big difference in
57
in people's everyday lives around the globe nice all right well
58
that's all the questions I have for you thanks again for coming

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。
