Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
I'm Georgie.
3
And I'm Beth.
4
Leaving home, getting married and a parent dying are three of the most important experiences in many people's lives.
5
But perhaps the most defining moment in some women's lives is the miracle of birth – in other words,
6
having a baby.
7
Throughout pregnancy, a lot of care and attention is given to expecting mums.
8
But as soon as the baby is born,
9
this attention moves to the newborn baby – making sure they are healthy, warm and safe.
10
We talk a lot about baby nutrition,
11
but what the mother eats can be just as important – especially the first meal after the intense effort of giving birth.
12
whether it's chicken soup, a glass of champagne or a good old cup of tea.
13
In this programme, we're talking about what women eat and drink in the first few weeks after having a baby.
14
And as usual, we'll be learning some useful new vocabulary as well.
15
But first, I have a question for you, Beth.
16
A typical pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks.
17
But when does an unborn baby's stomach start to grow in the mother's womb?
18
Is it a at three b at five weeks or c at eight weeks?
19
Er, I'll say the baby's tummy starts to grow at about five weeks.
20
OK Beth, we'll find out if that's the correct answer later in the programme.
21
Giving birth is not called labour for nothing.
22
It's hard work, leaving the new mum physically and emotionally exhausted
23
and in need of food that's nourishing for both herself and her baby.
24
Here's Alison Oman-Lowie, Deputy Director of Nutrition to the United Nations World Food Programme,
25
explaining more to BBC World Service programme The Food Chain.
26
A woman who is breastfeeding and during that postpartum time,
27
the first six months, she could need up to 650 additional calories a day,
28
which actually is quite a bit more than she even needed in addition during pregnancy.
29
Alison says that women need to eat even more calories postpartum,
30
meaning after childbirth, than they do during pregnancy.
31
That's especially true for mothers who are breastfeeding feeding their baby directly with milk from her breasts.
32
How new mums get those extra calories changes from place to place,
33
and different cultures have developed their own traditions about what foods are best.
34
For Chinese-American mum, Heng Wu,
35
roast pig trotters were one of the best things to eat after childbirth because they contain a lot of collagen,
36
which helps produce breast milk.
37
And when Ruma, whose Punjabi family originally comes from India,
38
gave birth to a baby boy,
39
her mother cooked panjiri, a kind of spicy nut mix with cashews,
40
almonds and melon seeds to promote breast milk and help the healing process.
41
Listen now as Ruma explains how important her mother's help was to BBC World Service programme,
42
The Food Chain.
43
So the first 10 days were amazing.
44
My mum came to stay.
45
And it, gosh, it was so important because I was on,
46
I had a C-section, so I had,
47
I was on very strong painkillers.
48
I was in a daze anyway.
49
And to be honest, because she was here,
50
I was fed, you know,
51
so she would look after me while I would look after baby.
52
And my husband was very hands-on as well.
53
So that first 10 days,
54
whilst it was really hard,
55
I didn't fall apart, which I might have done if I'd been by myself.
56
When Ruma talks about her mother's help,
57
she uses the word gosh,
58
an exclamation used to show a feeling of wonder or surprise.
59
Ruma also says she was in a daze because of medicine she was taking for pain.
60
If someone is in a daze,
61
they feel confused and cannot think clearly,
62
maybe because of a shock or surprise.
63
Luckily, Rumour had help from her mum and also her husband,
64
who was very hands-on, meaning that he was closely involved in organising things and making decisions,
65
and didn't leave it up to someone else.
66
Along with her mother's healthy home cooking,
67
the help Rumour got from her family meant she didn't fall apart.
68
A phrase which means become so emotionally disturbed that you're unable to think
69
or act calmly or to deal with the situation you're in.
70
New mums have to be expert jugglers,
71
balancing a new baby and recovering from childbirth with getting too little sleep.
72
No wonder they need hot, healthy food to eat!
73
Right, isn't it time you revealed the answer to your question, Georgie?
74
Sure.
75
I asked you when an unborn baby's stomach starts to grow.
76
You guessed it was at five weeks,
77
which was the correct answer, Beth!
78
At about five weeks, the cells forming a baby's stomach,
79
lungs, bone and brain all start to divide and grow.
80
Right, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned in this programme,
81
starting with postpartum, meaning following childbirth.
82
Breastfeeding is feeding a baby directly with milk from the mother's breasts.
83
The exclamation gosh is used to express a feeling of surprise or wonder.
84
If you're in a daze,
85
you feel confused and unable to think clearly,
86
often because of a shock or surprise.
87
If someone is hands-on, they're closely involved in organising things and making decisions,
88
rather than just talking about it or getting someone else to do it.
89
And finally, the phrasal verb,
90
fall apart, means to become seriously emotionally disturbed so
91
that you are unable to think calmly or to deal with the difficult situation you are in.
92

इस वीडियो के साथ बोलने का अभ्यास क्यों करें?

इस वीडियो में नए माताओं के खान-पान के बारे में चर्चा की गई है, जो कि उनके और उनके बच्चे के स्वास्थ्य के लिए बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है। मातृत्व का अनुभव जब शुरू होता है, तो बहुत सी बातें बदल जाती हैं। इस वीडियो के माध्यम से, आप न केवल मातृत्व पर चर्चा सुनेंगे, बल्कि उस संदर्भ में अपनी बोलने की क्षमता को भी विकसित कर सकेंगे। जब आप अंग्रेजी शैडोइंग तकनीक का उपयोग करते हैं, तो आप मूल वक्ता की उच्चारण, ताजगी और संवाद शैली को पकड़ सकते हैं। इससे आपको अपनी अंग्रेजी धाराप्रवाह बोलने में मदद मिलेगी।

व्याकरण और अभिव्यक्तियाँ संदर्भ में

वीडियो में कुछ महत्वपूर्ण व्याकरणिक संरचनाएँ और अभिव्यक्तियाँ शामिल हैं जो आपको अपने संवाद में सुधार करने में मदद करेंगी:

  • "need to eat..." - यहाँ यह दर्शाता है कि किसी चीज़ की आवश्यकता है, जो कि एक सामान्य स्थिति को व्यक्त करता है।
  • "is it A, B, or C?" - यह प्रश्न पूछने की एक सामान्य और प्रभावी विधि है, जो बातचीत को आगे बढ़ाने में मदद करती है।
  • "It's hard work..." - इस वाक्य से शारीरिक और भावनात्मक थकान को व्यक्त किया गया है, जो भावनाओं को पायदान पर लाने में सहायता करता है।

इन संरचनाओं का अभ्यास करते हुए, आप अपने संचार कौशल को मजबूत कर सकते हैं। संवाद के संदर्भ में shadow speak तकनीक का इस्तेमाल करें ताकि आप शब्दों को सही रूप से समाहित कर सकें।

सामान्य उच्चारण की गलतियाँ

इस वीडियो में कुछ शब्द और उच्चारण ऐसी हो सकती हैं जो सुनने में थोड़ी मुश्किल लग सकती हैं:

  • "collagen" - इस शब्द के उच्चारण में ध्यान दें, क्योंकि यह आमतौर पर लोगों के लिए कठिन होता है।
  • "breastfeeding" - यहाँ पर सही उच्चारण महत्वपूर्ण है, क्योंकि यह एक सामान्य स्वास्थ्य से जुड़ा विषय है।
  • "postpartum" - यह शब्द भी उच्चारण में अक्सर कठिनाई पैदा करता है।

इन शब्दों पर अतिरिक्त ध्यान देकर और shadowspeaks का अभ्यास करके, आप अपने बोलने के कौशल को और भी निखार सकते हैं। सही उच्चारण न केवल आपके आत्मविश्वास को बढ़ाता है, बल्कि आपके संवाद की स्पष्टता को भी सुनिश्चित करता है।

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।
