Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
I'm Neil.
3
And I'm Beth.
4
Neil, what type of foods do you often eat?
5
Well, basic things to fill me up.
6
That's sort of bread, potatoes...
7
Well, food like this, which is regularly eaten by many people, is known as a staple.
8
In Britain, bread is a popular staple, but for large parts of the world there's another food which is number one – rice.
9
That's right.
10
Over half the world's population eats rice as the staple food, especially in Asia.
11
But rice is a very thirsty crop which needs lots of water to grow, and this is becoming a problem because of droughts and flooding caused by climate change.
12
In this programme, we'll be hearing about a pioneering new technique – helping farmers to grow rice in the face of a changing climate.
13
As usual, we'll be learning some useful new words and phrases.
14
And remember, you can find all the vocabulary from this programme on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
15
But first I have a question for you, Beth.
16
Just now I mentioned that rice is a very thirsty crop.
17
So, how much water is needed to grow one kilogram of rice?
18
Is it a 1,000 to 3,000 litres, b 3,000 to 5,000 litres, or c 5,000 to 7,000 litres?
19
I'm going to say C – 5,000 to 7,000 litres.
20
Well, we'll find out if that's right at the end of the programme.
21
Dr Yvonne Pinto is Director General of the International Rice Research Institute, or IRRI for short, based in the Philippines.
22
Here, she explains more about the global popularity of rice to BBC World Service programme, The Food Chain.
23
Between 50 and 56 per cent of the world's population rely on rice as the principal staple.
24
Now that's roughly about 4 billion people and it is one of those commodities that is grown really extensively,
25
particularly in South Asia and Southeast Asia, but increasingly the appetite for it is growing in continents like Africa and of course there are also Latin American and European rice varieties.
26
Rice is a commodity – a produce that can be bought and sold.
27
Like other crops, rice has varieties – different types.
28
For example, brown rice, long-grained rice or basmati.
29
Much of the research into rice today is focused on making new varieties that can adapt to the changing environment and grow in conditions of either too much or too little water.
30
Over half the world's population eats rice – and there's a growing demand in Africa and Europe too.
31
So clearly there's an appetite – a strong desire – for rice worldwide.
32
So is it possible to grow rice in a more eco-friendly way?
33
Jean-Philippe Laborde, director of rice company Tilda, thinks the answer lies in a new growing technique called Alternate Wet Drying, or AWD for short.
34
To grow rice, farmers go through cycles of flooding their fields, or paddies, which then dry out and need to be flooded again.
35
With AWD, measuring pipes are placed 15 centimetres underground so that farmers can check water levels at any part of the field.
36
Normally, rice needs 25 cycles of flooding and drying out to grow.
37
But using AWD, this is reduced to 20 cycles, saving farmers water and reducing methane emissions.
38
Here's Jean-Philippe Laborde telling Gruz Alexander, presenter of BBC World Service's The Food Chain, how he began his AWD experiment with farmers in India.
39
We've got last year 1,268 farmers on board applying this AWD technique to reduce the overall methane emission.
40
And how did you persuade those farmers to give it a go?
41
That was quite challenging because obviously the main challenge is for farmers, the apprehension to lose revenues.
42
They need to see tangible results at the end of the crop, that they are getting obviously something better.
43
Many Indian farmers got on board with Jean-Philippe's experiment.
44
If you get on board with something, you agree to a plan of action and get involved.
45
In other words, you give it a go.
46
You try doing something to see if it works.
47
As it turned out, the new technique produced tangible results – results which are real and measurable.
48
Using AWD, the amounts of water and electricity needed to grow rice decreased, methane gas emissions reduced and on top of that, the amount of rice yielded increased.
49
Right, Neil, isn't it time you revealed the answer to your question?
50
I asked how many litres of water are needed to grow just one kilogram of rice?
51
And the answer was 3,000 to 5,000 litres.
52
So thirsty, but not as thirsty as you thought.
53
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned in this programme, starting with commodity, a product like rice that can be bought and sold.
54
Varieties of something are different types of it.
55
If there's an appetite for something, there's a strong desire or demand for it.
56
If you get on board with an idea or a plan, you agree to do something and get involved with doing it.
57
To give it a go means to try doing something.
58
And finally, the adjective tangible means real and measurable.
59
Once again, our six minutes are up.

इस वीडियो के साथ बोलने का अभ्यास क्यों करें?

यूट्यूब से अंग्रेजी सीखें का यह वीडियो "Should we eat less rice?" एक शानदार अवसर है, जिसमें आप न केवल नई जानकारी प्राप्त करेंगे, बल्कि अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास भी कर सकेंगे। इस वीडियो में, बातचीत के दौरान विभिन्न खाद्य पदार्थों और उनकी वैश्विक लोकप्रियता पर चर्चा की गई है। इससे आपको सामयिक विशयों पर विचार करने और अपने विचारों को व्यक्त करने का एक सही संदर्भ मिलेगा। वीडियो में दिए गए वाक्यों और शब्दों का अनुसरण करके, आप अपने बोलने की क्षमता को बेहतर कर सकते हैं।

व्याकरण और अभिव्यक्तियाँ संदर्भ में

इस बातचीत में कुछ प्रमुख व्याकरणिक संरचनाएँ और अभिव्यक्तियाँ शामिल हैं, जो अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करते समय बेहद उपयोगी साबित हो सकती हैं:

  • रूटीन गतिविधियाँ: "I often eat" जैसे वाक्य, जो रोज़मर्रा की आदतों को व्यक्त करते हैं।
  • स्वभाविक तकनीकें: "To grow rice, farmers go through cycles" जैसे वाक्य संरचना, जो प्रक्रिया या तकनीक को स्पष्ट रूप से समझाते हैं।
  • आवश्यकता और दृष्टिकोण: "There’s a growing demand" या "the appetite for it is growing" का उपयोग करते हुए, विभिन्न पदार्थों की आवश्यकता पर जोर दिया गया है।

इन उदाहरणों का अभ्यास करते हुए, आप अंग्रेजी शैडोइंग का फायदा उठा सकते हैं, जिससे आपकी बोलने की क्षमता और भी मजबूत होगी।

सामान्य उच्चारण के फंदे

वीडियो में कुछ ऐसे शब्द हैं जिनका उच्चारण करना कठिन हो सकता है। जैसे "irrigation" (सिंचाई) और "commodity" (वस्तु)। ऐसे शब्दों के उच्चारण में सुधार करने के लिए, उच्चारण अभ्यस्त करने के लिए उन्हें बार-बार सुनें और बोलने का प्रयास करें। इसके अलावा, कुछ शब्दों में अलग-अलग लहजे की पहचान करना भी जरूरी है। जैसे "thirsty" का अंग्रेजी उच्चारण 'थर्स्टी' होता है, जो सही तरीके से कहना महत्वपूर्ण है।

अंग्रेजी उच्चारण में सुधार करने के लिए, आप इन शब्दों का अभ्यास अपने दोस्तों के साथ भी कर सकते हैं या अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करते समय स्वयं के रिकॉर्डिंग का उपयोग कर सकते हैं। यह आपको अपने उच्चारण की त्रुटियों को पहचानने में मदद करेगा।

इस प्रकार, इस वीडियो को देखने और इससे बोलने का अभ्यास करने से आप अपनी अंग्रेजी बोलने की कौशल को न केवल बढ़ा सकते हैं बल्कि एक बेहतर भाषा विशेषज्ञ बन सकते हैं।

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।
