17
that is the area where all suspected Ebola patients are put.
18
And there is a lot of protective gear,
19
unsurprisingly, that one needs to wear to go inside.
20
One of the things that makes this so challenging for these healthcare workers is
21
that it becomes unbearably hot to wear these for,
22
honestly even just 10 or 15 minutes.
23
It's actually quite hard to breathe normally in these things.
24
Encore de gant, another pair of gloves.
25
He tells me to pull the gloves over the sleeves of the suit.
26
Ebola is not actually airborne.
27
It's contracted through fluids, but still,
28
healthcare workers have to take absolutely every precaution before they can treat the patients,
29
because of course, to treat the patients,
30
they need to touch them.
31
The doctors write our names on our backs so they can recognize us.

56
But eventually, almost everyone inevitably is going to run into the same thing.
57
Boredom.
58
Well, it turns out scientists say boredom is good for our brains.
59
In a world filled with endless scrolling,
60
streaming, snaps, posts, and pings,
61
experts say many of us aren't getting enough quiet time for our minds.
62
Here's why one professor and best-selling author says we actually need to get better at boredom.
63
We need to be elite athletes at boredom because once we do that,
64
we're gonna find that our life feels deeper and more meaningful.
65
The benefits of boredom have everything to do with what happens to your brain when you're bored.
66
A set of structures in your brain turns on called the default mode network.
67
That leads you to flights of fancy,
68
thinking about big questions, mind wandering,
69
and that's where you find the meaning of your life.
70
That's when the big complexities actually come into your brain.
71
The trouble is that we don't like it,
72
so we turn boredom off.
73
Most notably, we turn it off with the anti-boredom devices in all of our pockets.
74
Once you look at your phone, you're not bored anymore.
75
Putting yourself into the wrong part of your brain and turning off your ability to get that mind wandering that you need.

The Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C this past weekend was EPIC.
77
It proved that intelligence can absolutely be a spectator sport.
78
It's basically the Olympics of knowing where to put silent letters.
79
But beyond the brain power,
80
these kids, they were funny,
81
fearless, and cool under pressure.
82
We went behind the scenes to meet the competitors,
83
test their skills, and see what happens when some of the nation's best spellers step away from the mic.
84
In fourth grade, I tried the school spelling bee because I thought if I'm good at reading,
85
why not try spelling?
86
And it all kind of just went from there.
87
You kind of just had a natural gift for it.
88
Like, when I was young,
89
when the teachers didn't spell right, I kept correcting them.
90
It's kind of surreal,
91
like going from a written test in like a classroom to like a big stage in Washington, D.C on like national television.
92
It's kind of hard to believe, but it's really cool.
93
It is high stakes and just hundreds of hours of work
94
that go into it and knowing that it all just hinges on one letter is pretty intense.
95
Could you repeat the word?
96
I feel like just the composure that all of these kids have is really incredible to watch.
97
I don't feel too confident to take so much credit
98
when it comes to this beautiful young lady because she's so hard working and she's self-motivated.
99
What's something that you wish people out there knew about how difficult it is to prepare for a spelling bee?
100
It's not natural talent that can get you somewhere like scripts.
101
It's more about the hard work you put in.
102
It's pressuring of course
103
but I think hard work was one of the reasons why I was able to get this far into the national stage.
104
Time and even a strategy to get to what I am today with spelling.
105
It takes a lot of dedication and determination because
106
if you do a little bit of work and then you just stop you're not going to go anywhere.
107
How many hours a day do you think you What did you put in?
108
Four to five hours on weekdays and eight hours on weekends.
109
Oh my gosh.
110
That dedication is so inspiring.
111
What is something that you hope kids out there watching can learn from your journey?
112
That anyone can make it to finals.
113
Like if I could make it to finals, anyone can.
114
And that if you put in time and effort,
115
then nothing is stopping you from coming this far.
116
What was going through your mind when you were lifting that trophy above your head?
117
You know, I was just so relieved and excited, to be honest.
118
It was just such an amazing moment.
119
Yeah, I was just so happy.
120
So this is last year's champ.
121
What did you make of that final speed round?
122
It was so amazing.
123
I mean, I knew Sherry would win all along.
124
He's such a good speller.
125
He's one of my closest friends.
126
I'm so happy for him, really.
127
He's worked very hard.
128
There's no denying that.
129
You know, spelling was always his passion.
130
Reading is his passion
131
but like to put in this effort to get to all the GEO words and spell off 32 words in 90 seconds.
132
I mean, I never imagined he would do that,
133
but he did it and I'm so happy.
134
What did it mean, the people who love you most in this world,
135
your parents, your family surrounding you, how'd that feel?
136
It was really amazing because they've supported me throughout my entire spelling journey.
137
So I'm just so glad they were here to like share this moment.
138
Rise up!
139
Yeah!
140
Rise up!

155
No official job offer yet after his stellar performance.
156

Warum das Sprechen mit diesem Video üben?
Das Üben des Sprechens mit Videos wie diesem ist eine hervorragende Möglichkeit, um die Englische Aussprache zu verbessern und das Hörverständnis zu schärfen. In diesem Video wird nicht nur über aktuelle Ereignisse berichtet, sondern auch die Sprache in einem dynamischen und ansprechenden Kontext präsentiert. Durch das Nachahmen der Sprecher können Lernende ihre Sprachflüssigkeit verbessern und die natürliche Sprachmelodie besser erfassen. Diese Art des Lernens, auch bekannt als shadow speak oder Englisch Shadowing, ermöglicht es den Lernenden, besonders auf die Intonation und Betonung zu achten, die im gesprochenen Englisch häufig vorkommen.
Grammatik & Ausdrücke im Kontext
Das Video enthält verschiedene interessante grammatische Strukturen und Ausdrücke, die für Englisch Lernende von Bedeutung sind:
- Aktive Passivkonstruktionen: Die Verwendung von Passivformen, wie „Ebola wird durch Flüssigkeiten übertragen“, hilft den Lernenden, die passive Stimme zu verstehen und sich daran zu gewöhnen.
- Frageformen: Die rhetorische Frage „Welcher Teil Ihres Körpers verbraucht etwa 20% Ihrer Energie?“ regt dazu an, über die Struktur von Fragen nachzudenken und wie man sie im Gespräch verwenden kann.
- Verben mit Präpositionen: Ausdrücke wie „sich vorbereiten auf“ oder „ärgert über“ sind Beispiele dafür, wie wichtig Präpositionen beim Verständnis und Gebrauch von Verben sind.
Häufige Ausspracheschwierigkeiten
Einer der kniffligsten Aspekte bei der Aussprache im Englischen sind bestimmte Wörter und Akzente. Im Video kommen einige Begriffe vor, die für Lernende herausfordernd sein könnten:
- „Ebola“: Die Aussprache kann je nach Sprache variieren. Fokussieren Sie sich auf die Betonung der ersten Silbe.
- „quarantine“: Dieses Wort kann schwer auszusprechen sein, da es mehrere Silben hat. Versuchen Sie, das Wort in Silben zu zerlegen: „quan-ta-rine“.
- „fever“: Achten Sie auf den langen „e“-Laut, der oft in der deutschen Sprache fehlt.
Das Wiederholen dieser schwierigen Wörter und das Nachahmen der Sprecher in diesem Video werden Ihnen helfen, sowohl Ihr Hörverständnis als auch Ihre Englischkenntnisse zu verbessern. Nutzen Sie die Gelegenheit, um beim Englisch lernen mit YouTube aktiv zu üben und die Vorteile von Englisch Shadowing zu genießen!
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.
