1
Right, now there are now more obese or overweight children in the world than underweight ones.
2
That's according to a report out today from the UN's children's agency UNICEF.
3
It says one in ten children globally are now living with obesity.
4
Low and middle income countries are experiencing the steepest rise in overweight school children and adolescents.
5
South Africa is one of the countries listed as having the biggest problems with childhood obesity,
6
with 25% of under fives overweight or obese.
7
Our Africa correspondent Mayoni Jones went to meet some of those trying to turn the tide by improving child nutrition.
8
Teaching kids about health, one plate at a time.
9
The school in Johannesburg has banned sweets and processed food from its campus.
10
All the meals it serves are vegetarian,
11
with the occasional fish dish.
12
So today on the menu it's kitchari,
13
which is a mix of dal and rice with tomato chutney, halloumi and salad.
14
The parents of the students here have been asked only to bring fruit,
15
vegetables and homemade food for their kids to eat.
16
Yeah, this is delicious.
17
That's great.
18
The school management says that despite some initial resistance,
19
their food policy has led to helpful conversations around healthy eating.
20
If all schools were to emulate our intention of being thoughtful
21
and conscious of health and what children are putting into their bodies
22
and what food is being sold to children like chocolates and sweets and sugary fizzy drinks,
23
the health to the children would be served and the conversations
24
that would emerge from the food policy would enormously benefit the children's health.
25
According to the UN, rates of overweight and obese teenagers around the world have nearly tripled in the last two decades,
26
and younger kids are not spared.
27
The number of overweight children aged five to nine has gone from 69 to 147 million.
28
This growth has been blamed on the spread of convenience food, including ultra-processed goods.
29
Poor and middle-income countries have seen the biggest surge in overweight and obese children.
30
But there are some differences.
31
Where in poorer countries, these kids come from wealthier families who can pay for high-calorie foods.
32
In middle-income economies like here in South Africa,
33
more people can afford to go to fast-food restaurants.
34
And there's been an explosion of them.
35
For Fanta, it says 44.
36
While studying food science, Sipo Setu noticed the healthy options were too expensive.
37
Yeah.
38
And another thing is the issue of portion sizes.
39
Even if you were to get those items,
40
the cheaper items for students,
41
you find that the portion sizes are too big and they are turning us into or making us into over-eat, basically.
42
South Africa introduced high taxes on sugary drinks in 2018,
43
but it hasn't stopped the growing obesity rate in children here.
44
22% of kids under five are overweight or obese,
45
up from 13% in 2016.
46
The UN says countries need to improve access to local nutritious food for children and teenagers.
47
In the meantime, it's left to individuals and institutions to try and improve the health of future generations.

練習のためのヒント
このビデオでは、速いスピードで話される部分があり、特に重要なポイントが強調されます。英語シャドーイングを行う際は、まずは音声をじっくり聴いてから、自分で声に出してみてください。最初はゆっくりと繰り返し、その後徐々に元のスピードに合わせることをお勧めします。また、重要なフレーズや語彙を復唱することで、shadowspeaksやshadowspeakにおけるリズムやイントネーションが身に付きます。ビデオ内の重要なポイントやトーンを意識しながら練習し、YouTubeで英語学習を行うことで、より自然なスピーチを目指しましょう。このプロセスを通じて、英語のスピーキング能力を向上させることができます。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
