6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.

Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Neil.
4
And I'm Pippa.
5
In this episode we're discussing poetry.
6
For some, poetry is what you study at school,
7
then forget, while for others it becomes an important part of their life.
8
Have you ever read or written any poetry, Neil?
9
Well, I haven't written any poetry since I was at school.
10
I would love to read more poetry,
11
but I just don't get it really.
12
I find it difficult to understand.
13
A good place to hear poetry is an open mic night,
14
a live event where anyone is allowed to stand up on stage to sing or recite poems.
15
Here, BBC reporter Maria recites her open mic poem about a
16
friend who suffered a stroke for BBC World Service programme People Fixing the World.
17
This first poem, I wrote it about a friend who I love dearly.
18
It's called Stroke.
19
You're awake and trying to grasp who it is.
20
I pull my mask past my lips and you study my face.
21
Eyes wide.
22
I've enough stuff to tell you,
23
I say, sinking into a chair.
24
I stare.
25
Sometimes if you go to an open mic night,
26
people can really touch your soul with what they're saying.
27
And even if you're having a bad day,
28
life can feel so much better after going to an open mic night.
29
For Maria, poetry has the power to heal emotions and touch your soul,
30
meaning to affect you deeply on an emotional or spiritual level.
31
In this episode, we'll hear more about the positive power of poetry and,
32
as usual, we'll learn some useful new words and phrases.
33
And remember, you'll find all the vocabulary,
34
plus a quiz and worksheet, on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
35
But first, I have a question for you, Pippa.
36
Just now, you used the phrase,
37
positive power of poetry, repeating the same initial p sound across a string of words.
38
Doing this is a common feature of poetry, but what's it called?
39
Is it a assonance, b alliteration, or c simile?
40
Hmm, finally my English degree might come in handy,
41
and I'm going to say b alliteration.
42
Well, we'll find out at the end,
43
and I hope you don't get embarrassed, Pippa.
44
Now, poetry helped Maria overcome sadness,
45
but could its power to heal work in other areas too?
46
Hot Poets is a group helping people understand the science behind global issues like climate change.
47
They go to meetings, like the UN Climate Conference,
48
and listen to scientific papers being presented.
49
Then they write a poem about it all,
50
and perform that back to the audience.
51
Here's hot poet Liv Talk reciting her poem to BBC World Service's People Fixing the World.
52
It starts with an adventure at sea.
53
A big blue murder mystery where the killer is not the whale,
54
but an epic humanity fail of overfishing and polluting at unimaginable scale.
55
Liv's poem is based on a study into biodiversity.
56
It's a complex research project that many find hard to understand.
57
Here, Liv discusses this with Myra Anubi for BBC World Service programme People Fixing the World.
58
And Liv, I mean, so what you've identified is that there is an issue around the communication of science.
59
Yes, a lot of this jargon is really hard to understand
60
or a lot of the science is quite impenetrable to normal people,
61
so it's instantly a turn off.
62
Science uses lots of jargon,
63
specialist or technical vocabulary, which is quite different from everyday language.
64
For example, a scientist might use the word precipitation,
65
while in everyday English we would say rain.
66
Jargon can make scientific papers impenetrable,
67
an adjective meaning impossible to understand and worse,
68
it makes science a turn-off,
69
something that people dislike or find uninteresting.
70
Hot poets try to change all of that by making complex environmental ideas easy to understand through poetry.
71
And it works, says Cat Bruce,
72
the environmental scientist whose study Liv based her poem on,
73
talking here with Myra Anubi for BBC World Service's People Fixing the World.
74
What did it mean for you,
75
Cat, hearing the poem, having actually experienced everything It still gives me goosebumps when I hear it now.
76
I think it's everything that I wish I could say and put into words myself.
77
I feel like Liv just has done that.
78
Liv's poem gave Kat goosebumps,
79
meaning she was so emotionally affected that the hairs on her skin stood up, making tiny bumps.
80
Maybe poetry can't fix everything,
81
but for Kat it's making an impact for good.
82
Now, what was the answer to your question, Neil?
83
Well, you seemed very clear,
84
Pippa, that when you use a string of words beginning with the same sound, it's called alliteration.
85
And you're absolutely right.
86
Phew.
87
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learnt,
88
starting with open mic night,
89
a live event where anyone is allowed to perform poems or music on stage.
90
If something touches your soul,
91
it affects you deeply on an emotional or spiritual level.
92
Jargon means special words and phrases that are used in a particular profession or subject.
93
The adjective impenetrable means impossible to understand.
94
A turn-off is something that people dislike or find uninteresting.
95
And finally, if you get goosebumps,
96
the hairs on your skin stand up because you're cold,
97
emotionally affected or afraid.
98
Once again, our six minutes are up,
99
but remember you'll find lots more episodes as well as a quiz and worksheet for this one on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
100
See you again soon, but for now it's goodbye!
101
Goodbye!

Übungstipps

Um Ihre Englische Aussprache verbessern zu können, empfiehlt es sich, die Technik des shadow speech anzuwenden. Hören Sie die Sätze im Video und wiederholen Sie sie direkt nachdem der Sprecher sie ausgesprochen hat. Achten Sie dabei besonders auf die Intonation und den Rhythmus, da Poesie oft eine musikalische Qualität hat. Da das Video in einem gemäßigten Tempo spricht, ist es ideal für das Englisch Shadowing.

Wählen Sie eine Passage aus, die Ihnen gefällt, und hören Sie sie mehrmals. Versuchen Sie dann, sie in Ihrem eigenen Tempo nachzusprechen. Indem Sie den Text auf diese Weise wiederholen, werden Sie nicht nur die Wörter lernen, sondern auch die emotionale Tiefe und den Ausdruck, die mit der Poesie verbunden sind. Dies hilft Ihnen, Ihre Fähigkeiten im shadowspeaks zu verbessern und sich sicherer im Sprechen der englischen Sprache zu fühlen.

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.
