शैडोइंग अभ्यास: Day 37 Learning BBC English - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

Hello, this is 6 Minutes English from BBC Learning English.

I'm Nailed and I'm bad.

Nailed, what is the oldest thing that you have at home?

Well, I do have some books from when I was a child.

I have a rocking horse that was my dad's.

So that is quite old.

But neither of these are anywhere near as old as the 1800-year-old Roman coin,

which BBC reporter Ryan Keane recently bought in London.

But soon afterwards, Ryan discovered there was more to a story,

as he explains here on BBC World Service Program Business Daily.

But as I researched into other kinds of Asian artifacts,

I came across reports of expansive criminal networks related to antiquities.

Some Asian artifacts being sold online and in stores have been loot and trafficked and traffic.

Ryan got interested in an artifact,

but an artifact is any object made by humans,

usually very old, which is historically interesting,

for example a coin or statue.

In the past, many artifacts have been looted or stolen by force.

Movies like Indiana Jones Tom Rader have made the subject popular.

But the attempt of an Asian object is serious problems in some parts of the world.

So what can be done about it?

That's what we'll be discussing in this episode using some useful new words and phrases.

And remember you'll you will find all the vocabulary from our website bbclearningenglish.com.

Now I have a question for you Beth.

One of the most famous ancient artifacts was discovered by Egyptologist

Howard Carter in the Valley in the Valley of the King in 1922.

But what was it?

Was it A.

Rosetta Stone, B.

The Mask of Tutankhamun or C.

The Ark of the Convenant?

No, I think it's B.

The Mask of Tutankhamun.

Ok, let's find out later in the program.

Stealing ancient objects is nothing new.

During colonial During Colleen, it was common for the artifacts to be taken from their original home

and moved to museums and private collections abroad.

In the modern era, technology,

especially social media, has increased the problem.

Here's Amber Azum, a researcher from Shorny State University in the U.S.,

explaining more to BBC Business Daily.

Social media is the game changer here.

The bottleneck, if you will,

will help someone who has an item then communicate with someone on the demand side.

It used to slow the process you had to go through in social media,

change all that because it just opened it up.

a game changer, something new that is introduced into a situation and completely changes how it works.

For example, the Internet has been a game changer in how we communicate.

The reason is simple.

For someone with illegally stolen artifacts to sell,

finding a buyer used to be difficult.

I know things that now,

because of social media, this problem or bottleneck is gone.

A bottleneck is a problem that delays or process

or stops stop it from progressing

so what can be done to stop the illegal buying

or selling of ancient artifacts well as the final destination for

much looted treasure museums have an important role to play accusation of knowingly

or unknowingly buying stolen objects have been made against several including the liver in Paris.

Victoria Reid is a senior curator at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

In 2024, she helped her museum return an addition necklace which had been taken illegally from Turkey in 1997.

but the idea of returning artifacts to their country origin is controversial as Victoria told BBC program business daily.

Outside of museum world, of course there are many opinions

and I personally try to maintain a relative middle of the road approach.

I believe in museums, I believe in responsible collecting,

and I believe in judicious representation.

There are arguments both full and against repatriate,

and Victoria takes a middle of the road approach.

If you describe something as the middle of the road,

if it's not extreme and is acceptable to most people.

Whether Asian artifacts find their way back to their original homes or are displaced in museums remain ongoing.

But either way, it's good to know that objects of culture and beauty are being preserved for future generations.

Okay, I think it's time to reveal the answer to my question.

I asked what the Egyptologist Howard Carter discovered in the Valley of the Kings in 1922.

Was it A the Rosetta Stone, B the Mars of Tutankhamun, or C the Arch of the Convenant?

And I said the Mars of Tutankhamun.

And you, Beth, were right?

Yes.

Ok, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned starting with Artifact.

Any object made by humans which is of historical interest.

If something is looted, it's stolen by force.

A game changer is a new element which,

when introduced into a situation, completely changes it.

A bottleneck is a problem that delays a process or stops it from progressing.

To repatriate something means to return it to the country it comes.

And finally, the objective in the middle of the road describes things which are not extreme and are acceptable to most people.

Once again, our six minutes are up.

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।
