1
So, Rachel, did you grow up in New Zealand?
2
Yes, I did.
3
Nice.
4
So I grew up in the States,
5
and I thought we would talk about how life is so much different for teens today than it was for our generation.
6
Okay, I think we can do that.
7
So obviously the first thing is that when we were young,
8
we didn't have like smartphones and things like that.
9
We didn't have the internet, actually.
10
We didn't have internet, we didn't have email.
11
Yeah.
12
So I remember if you wanted to meet a friend,
13
you would have to plan it way in advance.
14
Yes.
15
You would have to wait by the phone.
16
Remember that, waiting by the phone?
17
You couldn't go outside because if you were waiting for the call,
18
you had to wait at your house until you got the call.
19
We didn't even have an answering machine.
20
Wow.
21
Oh, my gosh.
22
That's really old school.
23
We used to have to wait by the phone.
24
Yeah.
25
Actually, I used to spend every afternoon after school on the phone with my friends.
26
After we got home from school,
27
we would call each other and discuss the day's events, I suppose.
28
Yeah, you had so much to share.
29
That's true.
30
So my teens these days,
31
they come home from school,
32
they get on their phone,
33
and they text all their friends.
34
Right.
35
And they do it all day.
36
Like it's constant, constant chatter.
37
I think maybe that's why I'm not so much into texting.
38
it's just too much work you know
39
like I like to build up the mystery of not knowing what somebody did for a
40
while um yeah but i was thinking about it recently
41
and i think they it was similar because we used to telephone a lot
42
but then we did have to wait a long time before
43
finding the news true yeah i read once uh about how a lot of the movie plots from like the 60s,
44
70s, and 80s wouldn't work today because of cell phones.
45
Yes.
46
Because a lot of the storyline...
47
They're about missed communication.
48
Right, right, yeah.
49
Yes, and somebody arrived and somebody else didn't.
50
So another one I think that's really obvious is bottled water.
51
So when I grew up,
52
there's no such thing as bottled water.
53
Like you had to get water from a faucet, right?
54
Yes.
55
Yeah, and I think I remember when they first started coming out with bottled water,
56
I think I was about 14 or 15.
57
It was a bit later in New Zealand, I think.
58
Yeah.
59
Yeah.
60
So that was crazy.
61
I mean, do you remember what it was like when people were first drinking bottled water?
62
How strange it seemed at the time?
63
Everyone was like, why don't you get it from the tap?
64
The water's very clean in New Zealand.
65
So the tap water is clean.
66
So there was really no reason.
67
Yeah.
68
Like if you come from a temperate climate,
69
it was never a problem, right? because you just,
70
I'm from a temperate climate as well.
71
And so the water doesn't really have problems with bacteria
72
or things like that so it's always clean it used to be clean
73
so in New Zealand it's probably still clean the rivers used to be clean
74
but they're not
75
so clean now oh really even in New Zealand yeah oh really shocking it's a bit sad
76
so how about other things that we used to do
77
when we were kids like one thing is i think compared
78
to kids today is we used to spend a lot of
79
time outside actually like our parents would not allow you to
80
stay inside you had to be outside you had to go
81
outside right it's the opposite today yeah make them stay inside
82
and won't let them go outside why is that right what's the rationale for why they should stay inside Safety.
83
Safety.
84
Yeah.
85
We didn't used to hear about all of the kidnappings and abuse in the media.
86
Right.
87
So people weren't afraid of it.
88
Yeah.
89
And the crazy thing is I think...
90
We hear about it now.
91
It's actually safer now, right?
92
Yeah, it's safer now.
93
Even in the States where they hear about this,
94
I think statistics say that it's actually safer than it was before.
95
Yes.
96
But the perception is there.
97
Although that could be because the children are all inside.
98
That's true.
99
That's a difficult one to figure out.
100
But I don't think it's that unsafe to play outside.
101
I think it's better for kids socially,
102
for their bodies, for their development to play outside if they can.
103
I agree.
104
I totally agree.
105
Kids definitely should be outside.
106
And kids should be bored.
107
I think that's one of the things that kids miss out on is boredom.
108
They're never bored now.
109
They've always got a screen to look at.
110
Right.
111
So, you know, obviously when we were young,
112
you had nothing to do.
113
So you had to go outside and find something tree yeah exactly oh that's
114
so fun i thought of something um we used to have
115
video watching parties oh yeah it's only one person in 10 had a video machine right
116
so we would all go to the video store together and
117
and argue over which videos to watch and choose some horror movies
118
and some comedies and then go to some one person's house and or watch them all together i do remember that Yeah,
119
it was a big thing.
120
No Netflix binging, but having a video party at someone's house was a big deal.
121
And I think movies were a much bigger deal back then because we didn't have screen time.
122
There was no such thing as screen time.
123
You had your TV, but that was not the same thing.
124
Your parents wouldn't let you watch that much TV anyway.
125
And so a movie was a big deal.
126
It was more of a big deal.
127
You didn't just watch it on Netflix when you were bored.
128
Yeah, but a kid these days,
129
it's just, you know, they're on their screen all the time.
130
It's just more digital pixels.
131
Yeah, different times.

为什么要用这个视频练习口语？
在这段视频中，Rachel和她的朋友讨论了自己在80年代的成长经历。这提供了一个理想的机会来练习英语口语，特别是在谈论时间变化、沟通方式以及日常生活时。通过模仿他们的对话，你不仅能够提高你的语言能力，还能够更好地理解文化背景。使用英语影子跟读方法，你可以在听的同时进行跟读，从而提高你的发音、语调和流利度。这种方法特别适用于进行雅思口语练习，因为许多考试内容都涉及到个人的生活经历和观点。
语法和表达在语境中的运用
- 过去时态的使用：Rachel提到她在新西兰的成长经历时，使用了“did”来构建过去时表达，这使得故事更具时效感。
- 条件句：对话中包含了条件句的运用，例如“如果你想见朋友，你必须提前计划”。这种句型对于表达假设情况很重要。
- 对比结构：他俩通过对比现在与过去的沟通方式来突出生活的不同，使用“如同...一样”这样的结构，可以让学习者了解如何进行有效的比较。
- 名词短语：如“missed communication”和“bottled water”，这些名词短语的使用让对话更为流畅，适合在日常生活中使用。
常见的发音陷阱
在视频中，有些单词的发音对于英语学习者来说可能较为困难。例如，“communication”这个词常常发音不清，特别是元音的发音。此外，Rachel在叙述时，使用了几种口音，可能对初学者来说有一定挑战。建议学习者在练习时，尤其是在看YouTube学英语时，注意模仿他们的语调和重音，从而提高自信心和发音准确性。

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。
