Hello, everyone.
2
Welcome to another episode of English on the Go, the podcast where you can learn English anytime, anywhere.
3
I'm Alex, your host, and today we're diving into a topic that is becoming more and more important, fast fashion and its impact on the environment.
4
Fashion is a huge part of our lives.
5
But have you ever thought about the environmental cost of keeping up with the latest trends?
6
Let's explore this together.
7
Today, we'll be discussing how fast fashion is impacting the environment.
8
Fast fashion has made clothing more affordable and accessible, but it has also brought serious environmental concerns.
9
To help us understand the issue better, we'll listen to a conversation between two friends, Mia and Jake.
10
They'll talk about the rise of fast fashion and the hidden costs that come with it.
11
Is there a way to enjoy fashion without harming the planet?
12
Let's find out.
13
Before we dive into today's conversation, I want you to think about a few questions to get you ready.
14
These will help you focus on the main ideas and get you thinking about the topic.
15
1. What do you know about fast fashion?
16
2. How do you think fashion can impact the environment?
17
3. Have you ever thought about where your clothes come from and how they're made?
18
Hey Jake, have you heard about the environmental impact of fast fashion?
19
Yeah, I've read a bit about it.
20
It's shocking how much damage the fashion industry can cause.
21
I mean, people don't usually think about the waste and pollution that goes into making clothes.
22
Exactly.
23
Fast fashion is all about producing clothes quickly and cheaply, but it's really harmful to the environment.
24
Factories pump out tons of cheap clothes every season, and a lot of it ends up in landfills.
25
Not to mention the water and energy used to produce the clothes.
26
I've heard that making just one cotton t-shirt can take thousands of liters of water.
27
That's right.
28
And many factories use harmful chemicals to dye fabrics, which then pollute rivers and oceans.
29
It's a huge problem that most people don't even realize when they're shopping for trendy, low-cost clothes.
30
It's scary to think about.
31
I used to love shopping for new clothes, especially when they were on sale.
32
But now I'm starting to think more about where my clothes come from and what impact they have.
33
I'm the same way.
34
I used to shop a lot, but now I try to buy fewer, better quality pieces that will last longer.
35
It's better for the environment, and I think it's worth spending a bit more to reduce waste.
36
That makes sense.
37
I guess it's also about changing the way we think about fashion.
38
Instead of constantly buying new clothes, we can focus on sustainability and reusing what we already have.
39
Absolutely.
40
We can also support brands that are trying to be more eco-friendly.
41
Some companies are starting to use recycled materials or reduce the water and energy they use in production.
42
That's great to hear.
43
I think more people are becoming aware of these issues, and hopefully, the fashion industry will continue to change.
44
But it's not just about what the companies do, it's about what we do as consumers, too.
45
Exactly.
46
If we're more mindful about what we buy and where it comes from, we can make a big difference.
47
It's not easy, but every little bit helps.
48
I agree.
49
It might mean buying fewer clothes, but in the long run, it's better for the planet and probably better for us, too.
50
Definitely.
51
Fashion doesn't have to come at the cost of the environment.
52
We just need to make smarter choices.
53
Let's go over some of the key vocabulary from the conversation.
54
1. Fast fashion.
55
This refers to the rapid production of cheap clothing to keep up with the latest trends.
56
For example, fast fashion companies produce new collections every season, often at the expense of the environment.
57
2. Few landfill, a place where waste is buried.
58
For example, many old clothes end up in landfills, contributing to pollution.
59
3. Sustainability, the idea of using resources in a way that does not harm the environment.
60
For example, we should focus on sustainability when choosing what to buy.
61
4. Pollute, to make air, water or land dirty and unsafe.
62
For example, factories that dye fabrics often pollute nearby rivers.
63
5. Eco-friendly, something that is not harmful to the environment.
64
For example, more people are looking for eco-friendly clothing brands.
65
Now, listen to the conversation again and try to identify these words as you listen.
66

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
