6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Rob.
4
And I'm Beth.
5
In this programme, we're talking about money.
6
And Beth, as the old saying goes, money makes the world go round.
7
You mean it's very important and lots of things couldn't happen without it.
8
Well, we all need money.
9
But have you noticed how our money doesn't seem to buy so much these days?
10
Yes, I have, Beth.
11
It seems like consumers, like us, are being hit in the pocket at the moment.
12
And by that, I mean we have less money to spend.
13
Now, I'm no economist, but I know this has a lot to do with inflation – the increase in prices of things over time.
14
It's a big problem globally and Beth, my question for you is about inflation.
15
According to one report, what was the annual inflation rate in Venezuela between November 2017 and 2018?
16
Was it a 130% b 1,300% or c 1,300,000%?
17
I'll say b 1,300%.
18
OK, we'll find out if you're right later on.
19
But let's talk more about money and inflation now.
20
Around the world, prices of things are rising more than normal and more worrying is that prices keep going up.
21
Two things in particular are increasing in price – energy, like gas and electricity, and food.
22
These are things we need and depend on.
23
So what's causing the rises?
24
There seem to be two main reasons – the Covid pandemic and the war in Ukraine, which has reduced the supply in things we need.
25
And when things are in short supply, available in limited quantities, prices go up.
26
The BBC World Service programme The Real Story discussed this in much more detail.
27
One expert, economist, writer and broadcaster, Linda Yu, explained how price rises could be around for a while.
28
Even if you take out some of these volatile items like food and energy, the sustained price increases that we've had, it is actually getting passed through into how companies price their goods and services.
29
And that's where it gets extremely worrying because that suggests that even if energy prices, food prices come down, we could have inflation now in the system.
30
And I think that for advanced economies is worrying.
31
For developing countries, that's hugely worrying.
32
Linda Yu used some interesting language there.
33
She talked about food and energy being volatile items.
34
Something that's volatile is unpredictable and can change suddenly.
35
And that's what we've experienced with food and energy prices.
36
Yes, and she said these price increases have been sustained, so continuing at the same level for a long period of time.
37
But Linda Yu says that even if energy and food prices eventually come down, companies will pass on the extra costs they've already faced by charging more for their goods and services.
38
And this could cause inflation – there's that word again.
39
Continuing price rises aren't good for anyone, but especially for people in developing economies – countries which have industry that's less developed and have lower living standards.
40
Another possible consequence of inflation is recession.
41
This economic term describes a situation where a country's production starts going down, people's incomes go down and unemployment goes up.
42
This all sounds like a very bleak economic outlook.
43
So what can be done?
44
Well that's the million dollar question and economists are trying to work it out.
45
Speaking on the Real Story programme, economist Vicky Price gave an overview of how to control inflation.
46
Vicky Price, One of the things that actually is most effective is by slowing down demand.
47
And if you increase interest rates, what you do is you discourage people from borrowing, whether they're individuals or whether they are businesses, and of course the economy starts slowing down.
48
So, she says what is most effective – meaning what works well and gets the best results – is is slowing down demand.
49
Increasing interest rates can do this because people will borrow less money.
50
Interest rates are fees, banks and financial institutions charge you for borrowing money.
51
And if we borrow less money, we buy fewer things, which can reduce inflation.
52
I think it makes sense now.
53
And if you were in Venezuela in 2018, you would really want inflation to go down, wouldn't you?
54
Oh yes.
55
Now earlier I asked you what one report said the inflation rate was there between November 2017 and 2018.
56
And I said a very high 1,300 per cent.
57
Well it was even higher, Beth.
58
According to a study by the opposition-controlled National Assembly, The annual inflation rate reached 1,300,000 per cent in the 12 months to November 2018.
59
This extreme financial situation was known as hyperinflation.
60
That's not good at all.
61
In this programme we have been talking about inflation – that's the increase in prices over time.
62
Other vocabulary we used included the expression, hit in the pocket, which means you have less money to spend.
63
Volatile describes something that is unpredictable and can change suddenly.
64
Something that is sustained continues at the same level for a long period of time.
65
And something that is effective works well and gets the best results.
66
And interest rates are fees banks and financial institutions charge you for borrowing money.
67
Well, we hope you found our brief lesson about the economy useful.
68
Thanks for listening.
69
Goodbye for now.
70
Bye bye.

संदर्भ और पृष्ठभूमि
यह वीडियो BBC Learning English से है, जहां रोब और बेथ पैसे के बारे में बात कर रहे हैं। वे इस बात पर चर्चा कर रहे हैं कि पैसे का मूल्य किस प्रकार बदल रहा है और यह कैसे हमारे दैनिक जीवन को प्रभावित कर रहा है। वीडियो में महंगाई के कारणों और इसके परिणामों पर ध्यान दिया गया है, जैसे कि कोविड महामारी और यूक्रेन में युद्ध। ये सभी पहलू ना केवल वैश्विक अर्थव्यवस्था को प्रभावित कर रहे हैं, बल्कि व्यक्तिगत उपभोक्ता की क्षमता को भी सीमित कर रहे हैं।

स्टेप-बाई-स्टेप शैडोइंग गाइड
यदि आप अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करना चाहते हैं, तो इस वीडियो को शैडोइंग तकनीक का उपयोग करके सुनें। यहां एक सरल गाइड है:
- सुनें और समझें: पहले वीडियो को ध्यान से सुनें और प्रमुख विचारों को समझें।
- वाक्यों को दोहराएं: एक बार सुनने के बाद, छोटे हिस्से में वीडियो को रोकें और फिर बेथ या रोब की आवाज़ में उन्हें दोहराने की कोशिश करें। अंग्रेजी शैडोइंग से आपको उच्चारण और लहजे में सुधार करने में मदद मिलेगी।
- समय बिताने का प्रयास करें: जब आप उन्हें सुनते हैं, तो उस समय वीडियो चलाते रहें। इससे आपकी shadow speech कौशल में वृद्धि होगी।
- प्रगति को ट्रैक करें: अपने रिकॉर्डिंग पर ध्यान दें और उनके साथ अपनी प्रगति की तुलना करें। इससे आप अपनी ताकत और कमजोरियों को पहचान सकेंगे।
- लगातार अभ्यास करें: वीडियो को नियमित रूप से सुनना और अभ्यास करना आवश्यक है। यहाँ तक कि आप shadowspeaks जैसी तकनीकें भी लागू कर सकते हैं।
इस प्रकार, इन कदमों का पालन करते हुए आप अपनी अंग्रेजी में दक्षता में सुधार कर सकते हैं और संवाद में आत्मविश्वास प्राप्त कर 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।
