6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Neil.
4
And I'm Georgie.
5
In winter, people find different ways of keeping warm,
6
like wearing extra clothes or staying indoors.
7
But in some countries, there's another way of keeping the cold out – going for a sauna.
8
Yes, Nordic countries like Sweden and Finland have a long history of taking saunas,
9
but now they're popping up in Britain too.
10
Have you ever been for a sauna, Georgie?
11
I have, yes, and if I'm honest,
12
I'm not a huge fan.
13
I don't really like being too hot, it's uncomfortable.
14
What about you, Neil?
15
Oh, really?
16
I quite like a sauna.
17
You feel really refreshed afterwards.
18
So, what is a sauna?
19
Well, a typical sauna is a small wooden room heated with steam to around 80 degrees Celsius.
20
It's hot enough to make anyone sweat.
21
But are saunas good for your health as well?
22
That's what James Gallagher wanted to find out for BBC Radio 4 programme Inside Health.
23
We're seeing what saunas do to the human body.
24
They're popping up all over the country with claims that high temperatures boost your health and wellbeing.
25
But are they all they're cracked up to be?
26
James wants to find out if saunas are all they're cracked up to be.
27
He means are they as good as people say.
28
And that's exactly what we'll be finding out in this episode,
29
along with some useful new words and phrases.
30
And remember, you can practise all the new vocabulary from this episode with the quiz and worksheet on our website bbclearningenglish.com.
31
But now I have a question for you, Georgie.
32
The word sauna comes from the Finnish language,
33
but what does it mean?
34
Does it mean a sweat,
35
b hot water or c bathhouse?
36
I'm going to guess c bathhouse.
37
OK, well we'll find out if you're right at the end of the programme.
38
In recent winters, saunas have grown in popularity in the UK.
39
BBC reporter James Gallagher met some people going to Moor a Sauna,
40
a beach sauna in South Wales.
41
He asked them why they love saunas so much.
42
Hello everyone!
43
Hello!
44
Who loves a sauna?
45
Me!
46
Me!
47
Tell me why.
48
Oh, it's just so relaxing.
49
It just makes you feel at ease.
50
It's also great for relaxing muscles if you're up tense or anything like that at all.
51
Yeah, I always love coming down here when I'm a bit stressed out.
52
And by the time that I'm finished,
53
I feel like I've completely reset.
54
It's wonderful.
55
The first speaker says saunas make her feel at ease.
56
A phrase meaning comfortable and relaxed.
57
And the next speaker thinks saunas are great if you feel tense,
58
an adjective meaning worried and unable to relax.
59
Saunas make the final speaker feel like she's reset.
60
You might already know the word reset to mean turning a computer off and on again when it's not working,
61
but used in connection with a person,
62
reset means to start again after a rest so that you feel better about life.
63
So it seems saunas do help people feel better.
64
But is there actual medical evidence that it's good for us?
65
Here's James Gallagher again speaking with Professor Damien Bailey,
66
an expert in human physiology for BBC Radio 4 programme Inside Health.
67
When we start to connect this to the arguments around health benefits,
68
Is there a health benefit to going in a sauna?
69
Yeah.
70
I mean, I looked at the research really closely.
71
I was fascinated by the evidence.
72
Huge benefits, I mean, really huge benefits.
73
And it's cultural, of course.
74
Five million people in Finland,
75
90% of them use saunas.
76
Maybe we should be copying what the Finns do,
77
because there's a 40% reduction in all-cause mortality with the sauna goers.
78
Now, this is what we would call observational data,
79
but it's based on thousands and thousands of sauna goers.
80
These are observational data sets,
81
so we really do need what we call RCTs,
82
randomized controlled trials, so everything,
83
just as you've mentioned there, everything is absolutely controlled.
84
But we can't turn our noses up at the current data, the observational data.
85
Damien discusses the evidence from Finland,
86
a country where 90% of the population are regular sauna-goers.
87
And it's impressive, a 40% reduction in deaths from all causes.
88
But it's important to remember
89
that this is based on observational data – information collected from watching people's natural behaviour and not from controlled medical trials.
90
Nevertheless, this observational data is based on evidence from thousands and thousands of Finns over many years.
91
That's why Damien thinks we shouldn't turn our noses up at it.
92
We shouldn't reject it simply because we think it's not good enough for us.
93
Well, all this talk about saunas has made me want to give it another try.
94
But not before you reveal the answer to your question, Neil.
95
I asked you what the Finnish word sauna means.
96
Is it a sweat, b hot water or c bathhouse? bathhouse.
97
And I said bathhouse, am I right?
98
You are absolutely correct.
99
Well done.
100
Yay!
101
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned in this episode.
102
If something is not all it's cracked up to be,
103
it isn't as good as people say.
104
When someone's at ease, they feel comfortable and unstressed,
105
whereas a tense person is worried and unable to relax.
106
When someone resets, they start again after a rest,
107
which has made them feel better about life.
108
Observational data is information collected from watching people's natural behaviour without interfering in it.
109
And finally, if you turn your nose up at something,
110
you reject it because you think it's not good enough for you.
111
Once again, our six minutes are up,
112
but if you want to improve your English with more trending topics and useful vocabulary,
113
you'll find plenty on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
114
See you again soon, but for now, it's goodbye.
115
Goodbye. from bbclearningenglish.com.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
