14_Selbstfahrende Autos

(A)  Ob es uns gefällt oder nicht: Selbstfahrende Autos werden kommen. Für die meisten Menschen ist es eine EIGENARTIGE Vorstellung, in so einem Auto zu sitzen. Man hat das Gefühl des Kontrollverlusts und das ist den wenigsten Leuten angenehm. Dabei sagt eine STUDIE, es könnten 90% der tödlichen Unfälle vermieden werden, wenn keine Menschen am Steuer säßen. 
(B)  Was aber soll man in einem computergesteuerten Auto tun? Nun ja, man könnte sich entspannen, man könnte in Ruhe lesen, man könnte PLAUDERN, man könnte sogar am Laptop arbeiten. Bei einem hohen Anteil von selbstfahrenden Autos wäre auch der Verkehr besser zu kontrollieren und damit würden die LEIDIGEN Staus der Vergangenheit angehören. 
(C)  „Ja, aber was ist, wenn die Technik ausfällt?“, fragen die Kritiker. Und immer wieder kommt die Frage mit dem Kindergarten-Ausflug und dem Spaziergang der Bewohner eines Seniorenheims: Gegen wen sollte sich ein selbstfahrendes Auto entscheiden, wenn eine Kollision unvermeidlich ist? Aber so weit sind wir noch lange nicht. Und man könnte alle Kritiker darauf hinweisen, dass Flugzeuge schon längst autonom fliegen.

Are you trying to speak too fast in English?

So you want to sound more like a native English speaker. That means you have to speak fast English, right?

Noooo waaaay :)

There is a danger with speaking fast - you might lose clarity of what you are saying ..

You may think you’ll impress people with how quickly the words come out of your mouth, but what they really want is to understand you.

When you speak too quickly, you might start mumbling, dropping important sounds, or rushing through your vowels. 

Is this the kind of impression you'd like to create? What if people that are listening to you have a challenge with listening, what will this mean? ..

Listen to the recording and to some suggestions I have for you + listen to my speed too and reflect on my example when communicating in English daily 

Making it a permanent habit will make all the difference.

I hope it helps and chooe&book some of my limited slots to train with me now.





The Habits of Professionals Growing Into Strong, Confident English Communicators

Are you trying to speak too fast in English?

A social media ban for children under 16 has passed the Australian Senate and will soon become a world-first law.

The law will make social media platforms — TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, X and Instagram — liable for fines of up to $33 million for failures to prevent children younger than 16 from holding accounts.

The platforms will have one year to work out how they could implement the ban before penalties come into effect.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the ban is necessary, having previously argued that there is a "clear, causal link" between social media and the harm done to the mental health of young Australians.

Opposition Senator Maria Kovacic shared similar views.

"The core focus of this legislation is simple: It demands that social media companies take reasonable steps to identify and remove underage users from their platforms," she told the Senate.

"This is a responsibility these companies should have been fulfilling long ago, but for too long they have shirked these responsibilities in favor of profit," she added.

But while many support the ban, some argue the legislation could cause more harm than it prevents.

Senator David Shoebridge, from the Greens party, said mental health experts agreed that the ban could dangerously isolate many children who used social media to find support.

"This policy will hurt vulnerable young people the most, especially in regional communities and especially the LGBTQI community, by cutting them off," Shoebridge told the Senate.

Opponents also argue the ban would isolate children, deprive them of the positive aspects of social media, drive them to the dark web, discourage children too young for social media to report harm and reduce incentives for platforms to improve online safety.

While the law is the first of its kind worldwide, other countries have discussed similar measures.
