Now, let's get started with your favorite show!
7

8
That movie was so scary that it gave me goosebumps!
9
Goosebumps?
10
Yes, little kitty!
11
Goosebumps!
12
Hey friends, we all get Goosebumps for various reasons.
13
But have you ever wondered why do we get them in the first place?
14
So, in today's episode, let us explore this hair raising topic and find the answer to an interesting question.
15
Why do we get Goosebumps?
16
Zoom in!
17
Goosebumps, also commonly known as Goose Flesh, are tiny bumps on your skin at the base of your hair that spring up involuntarily.
18
Caused by various factors like an unexpected cold breeze,
19
...watching a scary movie, playing adventure sports etc. I know you are thinking, but why are they called what they are called?
20
That is Goosebumps.
21
Well, their name is the most straightforward thing about them.
22
When geese are freshly plucked, their skin creates raised bumps where the feathers were.
23
And because of this visual similarity, we call them Goosebumps.
24
But why do we get it?
25
Well, it is believed that years ago, when humans were all big,
26
smelly and hairy, Goosebumps played a vital role in their daily lives.
27
You see, our ancestors never had the luxury of clothes and generally wandered around half naked,
28
making them fall prey to ever-changing climatic conditions.
29
And as the winter hit, making our ancestral uncle feel cold,
30
the adrenal glands got activated and released a hormone called adrenaline, also known as epinephrine.
31
This hormone causes the tiny muscles called Erecta Pili, which are attached to the hair follicles to tense up and shrink,
32
making the hair stand upright and a little bit of skin around the hair protrudes like a flexing muscle,
33
resulting in goosebumps.
34
This straightened hair helped to trap more air which stopped the body heat from releasing,
35
making our ancestral uncle feel better, rosier and warmer.
36
Not only that, getting goosebumps is an automated response we call reflex.
37
Which is an action your body has automatically executed without you even thinking about it.
38
This particular reflex is known as the pilomotor reflex and generally gets activated during the flight of fight situation.
39
So, whenever our ancestors came across a deadly wild animal,
40
adrenaline rushed in and made their hair stand to make them appear bigger to scare their enemies.
41
We can still observe this phenomenon in our pet cat or a dog.
42
You must have seen their hair standing on end when they sense danger or feel afraid.
43
So, now you know, why do we get goosebumps?
44
Congratulations my friends, you learnt something new today.
45
Trivia time!
46
Did you know, medical term for goosebumps are...
47
Cutus and Seraina, Philoerection and Horipolation.
48
Also, some people get goosebumps when they listen to music.
49
Yes, a study found that people who are more open to different types of music
50
and to new experiences were more likely to get goosebumps and chills from listening.
51
So, put on your headphones and get ready for a bumpy ride!

背景介绍
在《为什么我们会起鸡皮疙瘩？》这一集的节目中，主持人通过有趣的方式向小朋友们解释了引发鸡皮疙瘩的原因。这不仅是一次有教育意义的体验，也是提高英语口语技能的机会。节目不仅涉及科学知识，还通过幽默和简单的语言，使内容易于理解，非常适合看YouTube学英语的学习者。
日常交流的五个核心短语
- 给我鸡皮疙瘩！ - 这句话可以用来描述观看一部恐怖电影后的感受。
- 为什么我们会有这种感觉？ - 用于询问关于某种反应的原因。
- 来看看这个有趣的现象！ - 用于吸引他人对某个话题的关注。
- 这一切都是关于我们身体的反应。 - 对身体反应的概括性描述。
- 我学到了新知识！ - 表达对新知识的欣赏和学习。
逐步模仿练习指导
要掌握来自节目中所讲内容的口语能力，我们建议采取以下步骤进行有效的英语口语练习：
- 观看视频：首先，仔细观看视频，尽量理解其中的内容和情感表达，尤其是主持人的语调和肢体语言。
- 逐句模仿：在观看时，可以一边停顿一边重复主持人的每一句话，尝试将其语音语调模仿得尽可能相似。这种shadowing技巧有助于提高语音和流利度。
- 记录并回放：使用录音设备记录自己的模仿，随后与原声进行对比，找出需要改进的地方。
- 多次重复：经过几次练习后，逐渐减少对视频的依赖，尝试自己复述节目内容，这是增强记忆与口语表达的重要步骤。
- 对话练习：寻求语言伙伴进行对话练习，讨论视频的内容，这可以帮助巩固所学知识并提高语言运用能力。
通过这样的循序渐进的方法，不仅可以有效提高你在英语口语练习中的自信心，同时也能探索科学知识，增加对世界的了解。
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。
