1
This road has had vehicles of all kinds going down it for centuries, but now they're going to be completely banned.
2
So will it make shopping here any better?
3
Or are you put off anyway by things like phone snatchers, American candy stores, pickpockets, picky pockets,
4
and has it all come too late to save the high street?
5
Or is it actually about much, much more than just shopping?
6
Take a ride with us.
7
This actually feels quite historic.
8
This is the last ever bus journey to go all the way down Oxford Street.
9
From the 26th of October, it's the end of the road for cars, taxis, bikes, scooters, pedicabs and buses.
10
And you know, this road has had motor traffic on it for more than a century.
11
So this really is the end of an era.
12
You're all here specially for this journey, aren't you?
13
Yes, pretty much.
14
It's making me emotional because I feel like this part of London has shaped London buses.
15
I feel like this is the reason why a lot of tourists, you know, vacate to London.
16
Also, is it quite celebratory that you all made it on Jules Pass?
17
Yeah, it's an end of an era.
18
It's a bit of history.
19
Go in.
20
This is one of the world's busiest shopping streets.
21
Around half a million people, sorry, come here every single day.
22
And it really feels like it at times when you're battling through the crowd,
23
especially in the run -up to Christmas and it's not helped by the fact
24
that so much space is taken up by the road but that is about to come to an end.
25
So first things first, just to say it's not the whole of Oxford Street that's changing.
26
Let me show you.
27
So it's this bit here all the way here, nearly a kilometre.
28
There's a gap here for Regent Street traffic to get through
29
and then it ends here at the junction with Great Portland Street.
30
It's a bit from Selfridges to Ikea.
31
The whole project is set to cost 150 £50 million.
32
But it won't just be getting rid of the traffic, by spring next year it'll also have added things like these.
33
New seating, new green spaces, all in all much more space for you to shop in.
34
Hello there ladies, we're from BBC London.
35
Can we ask you about, so what do shoppers here think?
36
It's safer, a lot of road accidents happen.
37
And to be honest, who's really driving down here?
38
You got those little tuk -tuk things?
39
They'll be gone.
40
Wait, what?
41
As long as the alternative routes are up to scratch then I think, yeah, fine.
42
It's It's a little bit hectic with all the cars right now.
43
Is it going to make it better for you?
44
Definitely way better because I think it's so crowded.
45
Even though you'll have to say goodbye to the noisy pedicab.
46
They're not going to be around the corner.
47
You can get your music and your vibes from somewhere else.
48
Literally, we are the vibes.
49
We've also dug into some of the finer detail and found it's not quite as traffic free as you might have thought.
50
I asked one of the bosses making the change.
51
Traffic will be crossing through here.
52
How are you going to keep pedestrians safe?
53
One of the things we're going to have in place are security measures at those points.
54
We're going to have gates in place and they're going to be manned
55
so emergency vehicles can access the road anytime they want.
56
But here's the thing.
57
While all the extra space being planned might sound great, not everyone's happy about it.
58
Some Londoners reckon that removing traffic from here might actually make things harder, especially taxi drivers.
59
We're the iconic London cab.
60
Can't beat us.
61
Once they close it, I'm not sure that you're going to get value for money.
62
Now that it's happening, how do you feel?
63
I feel really apprehensive, to be honest with you.
64
I'm trying to have a little bit of positivity, but I'm struggling because I just think the impact is going to be so devastating.
65
The concern is that it's going to push some of the congestion to the smaller roads nearby?
66
The smaller roads that typically wouldn't have had the traffic will now be traffic 24 -7.
67
Ask yourself, are you going to sit in my cab in all
68
this traffic to get from A to B where you can see nothing is moving?
69
You'll say, I'm really sorry driver, we're not moving, I'm going to walk.
70
And another thing, what about Londoners with mobility issues who rely on buses and taxis to get around?
71
Well, there'll be taxi ranks 100 metres from the pedestrianised zone and new bus stops 200 metres from it.
72
We've heard from a taxi driver who's worried about these plans
73
and there are small businesses as well that are worried
74
that is just going to push congestion out onto smaller streets and worsen the noise and air quality there.
75
I mean, the first thing I would say is these are very valid concerns and we've been listening.
76
Our modelling suggests that's not going to happen,
77
but this is why it's important that what we're initially doing is part of a test and review phase.
78
So one thing worth mentioning is that Oxford Street is already largely closed to private vehicles.
79
So would a full vehicle ban really bring new life to this place?
80
Is the issue the traffic and the crowds or is it something else that's putting people off coming here?
81
Peaky Pockets!
82
Peaky Pockets!
83
Watch out your baggy!
84
She tried to steal your baggy!
85
When it happens there's little the victim can do.
86
This area is known as a phone snatching hotspot.
87
You've probably seen the videos of the thieves in action
88
and I know loads of friends who've had.. their phones stolen right out of their hands.
89
With that and the pickpockets and the vape shops and the American candy stores,
90
are shoppers just turning to other London locations instead?
91
Why have you chosen to shop here at Westfields rather than say going to Oxford Street?
92
It's less crowded, easier to walk around.
93
Oxford Street is just way too congested.
94
People are just opting for online at the minute and I think that's the biggest battle.
95
So yeah, a bigger question.
96
When was the last time you actually bought something from here or any other high street rather than from here?
97
As online shopping has grown, Oxford Street's lost big name stores like Debenhams,
98
House of Fraser and now HMV's closing its flagship branch here soon.
99
Will banning traffic really be enough to bring more shoppers out?
100
Well, here's the thing.
101
The idea is for you to want to spend more time as well as money in Oxford Street.
102
The eventual plan is for space for public events.
103
We've already had a sneak peek of this.
104
Last year, Oxford Street went traffic -free for one day only, with food stalls, pop -ups and live music.
105
It brought nearly 50 % more visitors than usual, according to those behind it.
106
Maybe then, the future of Oxford Street is more than just shopping.
107
So where does this leave us?
108
After over a century of motor traffic here, Oxford Street is about to look very different.
109
And once it does, could other parts of London follow in its footsteps?
110
There are already similar plans for the West End near Piccadilly Circus.
111
A lot of London's traffic -free future will be riding on how this historic change works out.
112
But getting rid of vehicles is one thing, but making it a place that you want to spend more time?
113
Well, that could be a bigger challenge.
114
And we'll have to wait and see if all the extra space is enough to make that happen.
115
Thank you.

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है | has had · has shaped · have added |
| Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है | be completely banned · is taken · is set |
ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण
वक्ता 33 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे we're, I'm, we've। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।
- “sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: specially /ˈspɛʃəli/, junction /ˈd͡ʒʌŋkʃən/, flagship /ˈflæɡʃɪp/, shopper /ˈʃɑ.pɚ/
- लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: mobility /mə(ʊ)ˈbɪlɪti/, eventual /ɪˈvɛn.t͡ʃu.əl/, apprehensive /ˌæpɹɪˈhɛnsɪv/, celebratory /ˈsɛləbɹəˌtɔːɹi/, kilometre /kɪˈlɑmɪtəɹ/
हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:
- /v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: vibe /vaɪb/, valid /ˈvælɪd/, visitor /ˈvɪzɪtɚ/, eventual /ɪˈvɛn.t͡ʃu.əl/, apprehensive /ˌæpɹɪˈhɛnsɪv/
- /z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: visitor /ˈvɪzɪtɚ/, noisy /ˈnɔɪzi/, positivity /ˌpɑ.zɪˈtɪv.ɪ.ti/
- शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: steal /stiːl/, scratch /skɹæt͡ʃ/, specially /ˈspɛʃəli/, sneak /sniːk/, stall /stɔːl/
इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- 0.75× गति से शुरू करें, एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें, और सहज लगने पर सामान्य गति पर लौटें।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर taxi, pocket, steal जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
