Hello everybody, welcome back to American Textbook Reading Series.
2
I'm your host, Brian Stewart.
3
Today we're taking a look at Science Book 3, Unit 1.
4
And the topic for Unit 1 is Living and Nonliving Things.
5
In this unit, you will discover what living things do.
6
And you will also discover how living and non -living things are different Hmm, interesting unit.
7
So, let's get started with a list of the vocabulary.
8
Okay, so let's go over the vocabulary.
9
The first word is live as in to live
10
Live to live means to be alive to be in the process of being alive now be careful with live
11
Because it can also be pronounced in another way you can pronounce this Live
12
but that has a different meaning if you say live that is an adjective, right?
13
So live here this live is a verb
14
to live I want to live a long time
15
but live as an adjective we can say it is a live concert right?
16
That means that people are playing.
17
It's not recorded music.
18
People are actually playing the music.
19
You can see the people.
20
It's live music, live concert.
21
But live, okay?
22
So be careful.
23
Live live.
24
Okay?
25
In this case, live.
26
Live means to be alive.
27
Next word is to grow.
28
Things that live grow.
29
They grow during their lives, right?
30
They become bigger or taller over a period of time.
31
You are growing right now, right?
32
You can't see it, right?
33
Grow, to grow usually means it takes a long time, right?
34
It takes many months, maybe years, for you to notice a change as you grow.
35
But some animals grow very quickly, right?
36
Like pets, dogs and cats, they grow very quickly.
37
It's still hard to see, you don't see it happening right now, but you know over weeks or months very quickly they change, they grow.
38
They become bigger or taller.
39
Our next word is to change.
40
To change means to become different.
41
That's a good picture, right?
42
You've all seen an egg, right?
43
Sometimes you eat eggs for breakfast, right?
44
Well, those are not eggs that will become chickens.
45
Don't worry.
46
But they are, but an egg that is a able to become a chicken will hatch after a while, right?
47
The egg will change.
48
It'll break open and a little chick will come out of it.
49
That's a big change, right?
50
To become different.
51
You also change, right?
52
When you were a baby, now you were a child or a teenager, you changed, right?
53
And you will continue to change through your life.
54
We all do.
55
Okay
56
Reproduce reproduce reproduce Reproduce means to make more living things of the same kind all living things are able to
57
Reproduce that means that they can make more of living things that look like them.
58
When you get older you might get married and have children.
59
That means you will reproduce, right?
60
When your dog gets older, it can meet another dog, become a parent, and they will have children, right?
61
Plants, when they get older, they send out seeds or
62
Pollen and they will reproduce and more plants will grow
63
so to make more living things of the same kind that's to reproduce.
64
Next word is A sad word.
65
Die.
66
to no longer be alive.
67
Here we have a sad picture of a bird, probably an old bird, who became too old and then died.
68
All living things.
69
Become old and die.
70
It's part of life.
71
The thing is enjoy your life while you're alive, while you are living, right?
72
To enjoy your life and be good to other people.
73
That's the important thing.
74
Okay, our next word is move. To move.
75
To move means to go from place A to place B, right?
76
Something is at place A and it moves over to place B.
77
Now here we have a picture of a snail.
78
Snails are famous for moving very slowly.
79
Somebody might say, "You move like a snail." Means you move very slowly.
80
And probably not a good idea, especially if you're going to school.
81
Okay, so actually we have a video of a snail moving and you can see, I'll start the video here, you can see Okay, the snail is moving,
82
but it's taking a long time.
83
Right?
84
Very slow.
85
In the background, you saw the cars going by very quickly.
86
Cars move fast. Be careful.
87
Snails move really slow.
88
This snail's very slow.
89
Okay, we don't have time to watch him move.
90
It would take a long time to see him move from one side to the other.
91
We don't have time.
92
Okay, so next we have breathe.
93
Breathe.
94
Okay, we have the E at the end, that's important.
95
I will explain soon.
96
But to breathe means to...
97
take air into the body, actually you take it into your lungs, right?
98
And then you send it out again.
99
All living things breathe.
100
animals and plants have different ways to breathe, but for animals, right, we breathe in the air,
101
the air goes into our lungs, we take the oxygen out and it goes into our blood and this gives us energy.
102
We need the oxygen to live.
103
So we breathe in the air.
104
We don't need all of the air, just a little part of it is oxygen, but we take that oxygen and we breathe out the breath,
105
the air that we don't need or the the gas that is coming out of our body.
106
So it's important to think about breathe in, breathe out.
107
So we can also say that you breathe in and you breathe.
108
out.
109
Okay, breathe in Breathe out.
110
Breathe in, breathe out.
111
And we do it all the time.
112
We don't even think about it because it's a natural part of living.
113
Now, I said it's important.
114
The E at the end.
115
Now there's a very similar word.
116
It's called, it's spelled this way, and this is different so be careful.
117
Breath.
118
Breathe is a verb.
119
It's the action, right?
120
I showed you.
121
That's to breathe.
122
Breath is a noun Okay, so be careful.
123
Don't get those two words confused.
124
We can say take a breath. That is a breath.
125
Breathe in and breathe out.
126
That is one breath.
127
Okay, so when you talk about a breath as a noun, it's no E and we pronounce it breath, but if you're talking about the action,
128
that's a verb, we put an e on the end and we pronounce it Breathe.
129
Okay, so breath.
130
Breathe. Be careful.
131
Don't get them mixed up.
132
Okay, good.
133
Okay, next.
134
We have a video.
135
Now fish can breathe.
136
How can fish breathe?
137
They're underwater.
138
Where do they get the air?
139
Well, it's interesting because even in water there is gas.
140
Water is hydrogen and oxygen.
141
And fish are designed to be able to get the gas, the oxygen that they need, through their gills, right?
142
They don't breathe in through their mouth.
143
They have gills on the side You know,
144
we can see the little fish moving around.
145
It's hard to see their gills.
146
You can see their mouths moving, but they're not really breathing through their mouth.
147
They're breathing through their gills.
148
Let me write that for you.
149
gills.
150
And I put S because
151
fish have two gills on either side right
152
and they're kind of their neck and they kind of open up
153
and close as they're swimming and that's where the water passes through
154
and they can catch the air or the oxygen that they need through their gills.
155
So fish obviously are much different than mammals because they breathe differently and they can breathe underwater.
156
but they have to come up
157
and they have a hole in the back of their head
158
that opens up and they take in the air and they breathe through that hole.
159
So mammals and whales are not really fish, they're mammals.
160
But true fish have gills.
161
Okay, interesting.
162
Next, we have oxygen, and I've said that word before.
163
Oxygen, oxygen, or oxygen.
164
If you say it quickly, it sounds like Oxygen.
165
Oxygen.
166
Oxygen is very important.
167
Obviously, I just said when we breathe in, we need the oxygen in the air.
168
The air around us actually,
169
you know, it's kind of maybe a bigger Lesson, nitrogen and oxygen.
170
The air right now around me and around you is
171
21 % only 21 % oxygen the rest what is that that's 79 % Nitrogen, right?
172
So we don't need nitrogen.
173
Our bodies don't use nitrogen.
174
Nitrogen is, it's like nothing to our body.
175
We don't react to nitrogen, but we do react with oxygen and we need oxygen to live.
176
Oxygen goes into our blood.
177
It helps us do many of the functions that our cells need to be able to do what they do.
178
And there's so many different cells that do have different tasks.
179
So, oxygen is a gas, right?
180
It's a gas that living things need.
181
We need it, fish need it, many different living things need oxygen.
182
So, oxygen is a gas, right?
183
oxygen and mostly the air is 79 % nitrogen, 21 % oxygen.
184
Yes there are other gases but they're very small they're not really measurable in any situation, any typical situation, okay, that we,
185
you know, in the outside.
186
Okay, good.
187
So oxygen is very important for us and most living things.
188
Next we have healthy.
189
Healthy means to be strong and well.
190
I hope you are healthy and your parents are very interested or they're very worried, hopefully not too worried, that you stay healthy.
191
And you should eat well, eat good things, eat vegetables, eat, you know, depending on, you know, meat is good,
192
vegetables of course are very important.
193
Make sure you eat a balanced diet You also need to exercise.
194
This boy is exercising because you need to give your muscles the practice or the chance to grow strong.
195
And you want to stay healthy.
196
And not just eating and exercise, you also need sleep.
197
So make sure you get enough sleep.
198
Put your phone away.
199
Don't play video games too long.
200
Get enough sleep at night.
201
All of these things help you remain healthy.
202
And you want to be healthy all your life.
203
Of course, when you're young, you're very strong and healthy.
204
As you get older, you have to work harder to stay healthy.
205
Okay.
206
Good.
207
Okay.
208
Now, let's take a look at the difference between living things and non -living things.
209
So that's what this unit is about really, living and non -living things.
210
How are they different?
211
Well, we've learned a lot of words in the vocabulary section about living things.
212
We learned grow, right?
213
Living things grow.
214
They get bigger and taller.
215
And So you can see the picture of the swan and the little baby swans.
216
The babies will grow, they'll get taller.
217
They will become adult swans.
218
Do non -living things grow?
219
Well, Oxygen is a non -living thing, it's a gas.
220
Does it grow?
221
No, we use it, but oxygen by itself, it doesn't get bigger, it stays the same.
222
It doesn't have a process where it gets bigger or taller.
223
It just stays the same.
224
Okay, next living things change.
225
Yeah, they change of course as they grow they get bigger they get taller,
226
but some living things change as they grow grow or as they become from a baby to a child to an adult,
227
they actually change form.
228
For example butterflies, caterpillars, they will change form.
229
they grow so they change
230
and we saw the example of the egg becoming the chick they change but do non -living things change?
231
No, they do not change, right?
232
You see a rock and That rock will always be the same.
233
It doesn't change by itself.
234
I mean, yeah, sure, I can take a hammer and break it and then it changes, but I had to do that or something else had to do that.
235
The rock by itself will not change by itself.
236
Living things do change by themselves.
237
Okay, next we have move.
238
Move from one place to another.
239
We saw the snail.
240
The snail takes a long time.
241
move more quickly, right?
242
And of course birds move very fast and horses, as we can see in the picture, they move very quickly from one place to another.
243
But do non -living things move by themselves?
244
No, they don't.
245
I mean you might have a doll on your shelf in your bedroom, but if you put it there and you leave it there, it's not going to move.
246
I hope, no I'm just kidding, no it won't move, don't worry.
247
Okay, so you have to pick it up and put it somewhere.
248
And before the snail video I said look at the cars, of course people are making those cars move.
249
If you park the car and leave it, the car is not going to move by itself, right?
250
So non -living things do not move by themselves.
251
Okay, next, last, we have reproduce.
252
And we can see the mother and the father and a baby.
253
I don't know if it's a girl or a boy, but it's a baby and they have a baby.
254
Mother and the father got together, they created a baby.
255
All living things have the ability to reproduce, to make younger copies of themselves.
256
They're not perfect copies, they're a little bit different.
257
We wouldn't, that would be very boring if everybody was the same.
258
So it's very interesting that they're a little bit different, but we have the ability to reproduce all living things.
259
Do non -living things, can they reproduce?
260
No, even though in the picture we see many houses that look like they're the same, right?
261
But those houses didn't reproduce by themselves.
262
No. People, construction workers, came and built those houses you know, but the houses don't get together and have babies.
263
What's a baby house?
264
That's crazy.
265
We don't, that doesn't happen.
266
So non -living things do not reproduce.
267
Living things do.
268
So this chart shows us many differences between living things and non -living things.
269
What do living things do?
270
And living things do not do those things.
271
Okay, interesting.
272
Now, when we take a look at living things, we can say that all living things do these three things in our chart.
273
First, we can see that all living things grow.
274
The baby drinks milk from her mother.
275
So she can grow right when the mothers have the baby they will give milk to their babies
276
So the baby needs milk and after the baby gets older the baby doesn't need the milk anymore, but they still need to eat We all need to eat.
277
I hope you eat well during the day and you eat healthy foods to stay healthy so you
278
if you do that you will grow strong you will grow well okay that's that's important obviously
279
so all living things grow the second thing is change, right?
280
In the first picture we see the baby, but maybe after a few years now we have a young girl, right?
281
So change the girl, you know before the girl is a baby, right?
282
She can't talk.
283
Maybe she's a gag gag gag gag bo bo bo bo, but that's not talking really, right?
284
But when she gets older she can say words, she can make sentences, she can say talk, say what she's thinking, that's to talk.
285
She can walk by herself.
286
Babies don't walk, they crawl, right?
287
And she can eat by herself.
288
Mom doesn't have to give her the food, right?
289
It goes down.
290
The child can eat by herself.
291
So the baby girl changed into a child.
292
You changed from a baby to a child or a teenager and later on you will become an adult.
293
You changed throughout your life.
294
most of my changing.
295
Still have some change left in me but we all change.
296
Everybody changes.
297
Reproduce.
298
Reproduce is the third thing and that of course is when, you know, we can talk about this girl.
299
Actually, let's imagine that this is the same person in each of the picture.
300
First we see the little baby, right?
301
Then she grows a little bit older, she's a baby, she changes into a child.
302
Many years later she becomes a woman and look, she has a baby of her own.
303
So she reproduced, she grew older, she became a woman, and with a man she was able to reproduce.
304
So the woman has a baby of her own.
305
So again, all living things are able to reproduce, to make copies of themselves, not exact copies.
306
but copies of themselves.
307
New living things.
308
And that's life.
309
Okay, so living things can do that.
310
Okay, now it's time for the reading.
311
As usual, read along with me.
312
Maybe you can read out loud as I read
313
or read along in your head and think about the pronunciation of the words.
314
And of course, remember the vocabulary that we learned at the beginning of this unit.
315
Are you ready?
316
Let's begin.
317
Thank you.
318
In the world, there are living things and non -living things.
319
A living thing is something that is alive.
320
Thank you.
321
A chick is a living thing.
322
A chick lives in a nest.
323
It needs space to live in.
324
a chick breathes air Air has oxygen in it.
325
Do you remember how much?
326
Right?
327
Usually 21 % oxygen.
328
Okay?
329
Okay.
330
Air has oxygen in it.
331
Almost all living things need oxygen to live.
332
A chick needs to eat and drink.
333
Food and water help keep the chick healthy.
334
Thank you.
335
Keep healthy, also stay healthy.
336
These are very common expressions.
337
Stay healthy.
338
I hope you stay healthy.
339
Please keep healthy.
340
Okay, don't say keep your health.
341
That's strange.
342
Just say keep healthy or stay healthy.
343
I Okay, next.
344
It grows and changes into a chicken.
345
Right?
346
So a baby chick will grow and change into an adult chicken.
347
Okay, next.
348
Living things can reproduce.
349
A chicken can make an egg.
350
A chick comes from an egg.
351
One day the chicken will die.
352
All living things die.
353
Okay, so living things reproduce, right?
354
A chicken makes an egg, chick comes from the egg and then The chick is born, grows older, becomes an adult,
355
and it lays an egg too, so you know it goes around and around.
356
And then after a while it will die.
357
All living things die.
358
Thank you.
359
Some things do not die because they have never been alive.
360
They are called non -living things.
361
Rocks are non -living things.
362
They do not breathe or grow.
363
Rocks do not need to eat or drink.
364
A rock does not move by itself.
365
Non -living things cannot reproduce.
366
Okay. So, that's interesting.
367
That passage obviously we had two different things we were talking about.
368
Now, when you read about two different things or you write about two different things,
369
probably you want to say how were they? the same or how are they different?
370
This passage obviously was talking about two different things and they are different.
371
They're not the same, they're different.
372
One thing, first we saw and we read about living things and we learned what living things do,
373
then In the middle of the passage, we changed, we switched, we transitioned, right?
374
We had a transition, sorry, a transition.
375
A transition is when you change from one subject to another.
376
So in the middle of this of the paragraph,
377
we had a transition and we started talking about we transitioned into talking about non -living things,
378
and we showed how they are different.
379
So this is contrast, not comparison, contrast Okay, so when your teacher says,
380
you know, compare or contrast, should really be compare or contrast, two different things, you can compare them.
381
Oh, you could compare and contrast.
382
That would be a bit longer.
383
You can say how they're the same and then how they're different.
384
You could also do that.
385
That's another.
386
plan for your essay or for your writing passage.
387
But anyway, this was contrast.
388
So on the left -hand side, we have living things.
389
On the right -hand side, we have non -living things.
390
How are they different?
391
How do they contrast? contrast equals different, right?
392
Show difference.
393
So let's start with the left side at the top.
394
It says living things are Beep.
395
Living things are what?
396
Well, living things are, it was similar to a vocabulary word.
397
It's not exactly the same, but in the reading passage, remember, it said living things are, what do they do?
398
They live.
399
If something lives, it is life.
400
alive, right?
401
So living things are Alive living things are alive alive.
402
We say it is alive because we say it lives
403
So to live is a verb alive is an adjective right they are alive It is alive.
404
Living things need food, water and what else do they need?
405
We talked about food, water,
406
In the vocabulary section, we talked about something that living things need and to get it,
407
To get that thing, we have to do something, We have to breathe.
408
What are we getting when we breathe?
409
We are getting oxygen.
410
Oxygen.
411
So, living things need food, water, and oxygen.
412
in order to continue living.
413
If you don't get food, you die.
414
If you don't get water, you die.
415
If you don't get oxygen, you die.
416
So don't die.
417
Get food, get water, get oxygen, stay healthy.
418
Okay, good.
419
So, living things, beep, and change.
420
Now, that kind of means the same thing, right?
421
But they're a little bit different, right?
422
Because they change, how do they change?
423
They get bigger and they get taller.
424
When something gets bigger or taller, what are they doing?
425
What's the vocabulary word?
426
Grow, that's right, grow.
427
So, living things grow and change.
428
As they grow, of course, they change.
429
Now, living things can beep.
430
What?
431
do living things do that non -living things cannot do.
432
Now there's a lot of choices we could use for D, but we can just go over to the right hand side
433
and see ah it's the opposite of what is on the right hand side.
434
So we say living things can breathe well or living things can grow or living things can reproduce, which one is it?
435
So let's look over.
436
Non -living things cannot make new things like themselves.
437
Aha!
438
Make new things like themselves, what does that mean?
439
The vocabulary word was reproduce, so we want to show the exact difference,
440
so we need to put that here re - Pro deuce oops.
441
I'm sorry reproduce you see e okay.
442
Let me write that again re Pro -duce.
443
Okay.
444
You're a little weird with this pen.
445
Okay, reproduce.
446
So living things can reproduce.
447
Those are things that living things can do.
448
They're opposite of the other thing, of the other side, non -living things.
449
So we said living things are alive, non -living things are not.
450
alive, okay, that would be the direct Opposite.
451
direct.
452
Opposite.
453
How are they different?
454
Right?
455
How How do you contrast them?
456
What is the direct opposite?
457
Alive, not alive.
458
Living things need food, water, and beep.
459
oxygen, we already have that, but non -living things do not need food, water, or oxygen.
460
Of course, we can just use the same word because Do not need is the direct opposite of need.
461
Okay?
462
Direct opposite.
463
So living things grow and change.
464
Non -living things do not grow.
465
or change, grow, or change.
466
So do not is the opposite of, we don't need do here, but actually, you know, do is kind of what we say implied,
467
We don't need it.
468
We don't say it.
469
We don't say living things do grow and change.
470
We don't need do.
471
But if you say it negatively, then you say do not.
472
Right?
473
Non -living things do not grow or change.
474
Okay?
475
That's the direct opposite of what they do do.
476
Okay.
477
And then finally, as we saw before, living things can reproduce.
478
Non -living things cannot make new things like themselves.
479
That's the same as saying reproduce.
480
Okay.
481
So basically, this chart shows us the difference the opposites characteristics between living things and non -living things.
482
You know, what do living things do?
483
What do non -living things Not do right.
484
How are they different?
485
Okay, so that was an interesting unit, right?
486
We talked about the differences between living things and non -living things
487
and we focused on what do living things do and and what non -living things don't do.
488
Okay, so kind of an interesting lesson.
489
Well, that's it for today.
490
I hope you learned a lot as always and we'll see you in the next unit or the next lesson.
491
Take care, everybody.
492
Bye -bye.
493
Thank you.

Gramática en este vídeo
Las estructuras que más usa el hablante, con las palabras exactas del vídeo:
| Estructura | En el vídeo |
|---|---|
| Voz pasiva be + participio pasado — importa lo que ocurre, no quién lo hace | be pronounced · are designed · is born |
| Present perfect have/has + participio pasado — una acción pasada que sigue importando ahora | I've said · we've learned · have never been |
| Posibilidad con “might / may” might/may + verbo — algo posible pero no seguro | might get · might say · might have |
| Past continuous was/were + -ing — una acción en curso en un momento del pasado | were talking · was talking |
Pronunciación a tener en cuenta
El hablante usa 78 contracciones y formas reducidas, como don't, they're, doesn't. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.
- Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: contrast /kənˈt(ʃ)ɹæst/, transition /tɹænˈzɪʃ.ən/, shelf /ʃɛlf/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, measurable /ˈmɛʒəɹəbəl/
- Palabras largas — cuida el acento: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, underwater /ʌndɚˈwɔtəɹ/, differently /ˈdɪf.ə.ɹənt.li/, characteristic /ˌkæɹ(ə)ktəˈɹɪstɪk/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/
Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:
- s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: snail /sneɪl/, swan /swɑn/, spell /spɛl/, swim /swɪm/
- /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, verb /vɝb/, discover /dɪˈskʌvə/, vegetable /ˈvɛd͡ʒ.tə.bəl/, adjective /ˈæd͡ʒ.ɪk.tɪv/
- /z/ — sonora, no /s/: transition /tɹænˈzɪʃ.ən/, confused /kənˈfjuːzd/
Cómo practicar con este vídeo
- Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
- Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como breathe, oxygen, reproduce.
¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
