Hey, hey. Hope you're having a wonderful day wherever you are in this world. I'm Ky Wire. This is CNN 10. Happy Friday Eve. I have a lot of interesting stories for you this Thursday, March 26th. But first, some breaking news. Yesterday, a California jury found Meta and YouTube liable on all counts in a case that accused the social media companies of creating an intentionally addictive product. The case centers around a now 20-year-old woman named Kaye and her mother who sued Meta, Google's YouTube, Snap, and Tik Tok, accusing them of intentionally luring her to the platforms as a young teen, saying that caused her to develop mental health problems. This is a landmark case that could set the precedent for a myriad of other lawsuits, but it will also likely change the way young people are able to access and participate in social media going forward. Tomorrow, we will bring you more on the reaction to the verdict and its potential ramifications. To Iran now, where the war with the US and Israel is having major ripple effects on things like businesses and schools, having people stay home in order to save electricity, gas, etc. The ongoing conflict has effectively closed the straight of Hormuz, the key shipping lane through which nearly 20% of the world's daily oil shipments typically pass. Iran previously vowed to attack any vessels that attempted to traverse it, leaving hundreds of ships stranded on both sides of the straight. Earlier this week, however, officials signaled the country was in talks to allow certain vessels to pass safely through the straight. Again, I have to clarify that other states that has nothing to do with this act of aggression against Iran can pass through the straight of Hormos after necessary coordination with Iranians authorities.

As of this taping, it appears a handful of ships have made the trip through the straight. That's according to tracking data CNN has yet to independently verify. But even if shipping partially resumes, the prolonged closure has already wre havoc on global supply chains. Asia, which consumes 80% of the oil that crosses through the strait, has been hit particularly hard. Our Christyl Stout has more on how countries across the region are dealing with this unprecedented crisis.
1:56.40 – 2:24.24 (27.8s)

The Philippines has become the first country in the world to declare a state of national energy emergency thanks to a war thousands of miles away. Long lines snake out of Manila's gas stations, and soaring fuel prices have left some of Manila's Jeep drivers uncertain how long they can stay on the road.
2:25.04 – 2:46.92 (21.9s)
4
Instead of being able to bring home the earnings, it goes to pay for diesel.
2:46.96 – 2:50.64 (3.7s)
5
What's left for us is very little.
2:51.44 – 2:52.88 (1.4s)
6
It's all down to the US and Israel's war with Iran, which has closed the Straight of Hormuz to all but a handful of ships.
2:53.68 – 3:01.12 (7.4s)
7
Asia is especially vulnerable to the supply shocks that's caused. It consumes more than 80% of the oil that crosses the street.
3:01.92 – 3:09.68 (7.8s)

In South Korea, the president has called for a 12point countrywide energy saving campaign. People are being asked to take shorter showers, charge their phones during the day rather than overnight, and only use their washing machines and vacuum cleaners at weekends.
3:10.48 – 3:26.88 (16.4s)
9
Fuel shortages have also caused some of Asia's flagship carriers to consider suspending flights while India's textile industry has been impacted. India imports around half of its oil from the Middle East and shortages have started to cause some factories to close or use carbon fuels and some residents to abandon their kitchens.
3:27.68 – 3:49.28 (21.6s)

The cost of gas is so high we are cooking on this open air stove. This woman tells us she is far from alone.
3:50.08 – 3:57.84 (7.8s)
11
People are queuing to fill gas cylinders and fuel tanks across Asia. From Catmandu, Nepal to Columbbo in Sri Lanka where authorities have declared every Wednesday a public holiday for government institutions including schools but exempting hospitals to manage energy resources.
3:58.64 – 4:19.04 (20.4s)

Pop quiz hot shot. What is the most widely grown crop in the US by acreage?
4:19.84 – 4:23.60 (3.8s)
13
Wheat, corn, soybeans, or potatoes?
4:24.40 – 4:29.48 (5.1s)
14
If you said corn, you're amazing. While Iowa produces more corn than any other state, California produces the most fruits and veggies overall, including spinach, broccoli, lettuce, and almonds.

Years ago, pesticides exploded in popularity among farmers. A simple chemical application saved crops from insects, rodents, fungi, and in turn revolutionized the way agricultural industries prevent food waste and save money. Well, research over the last 20 years proves many of these chemicals can be harmful to our health. So, organic produce options started to really grow on some consumers as a result. But pesticides are so pervasive in the US food supply, it can be difficult to avoid them. And organic foods might make your grocery bill feel a little hard to swallow. Enter the Dirty Dozen, an annual report that specifies exactly which fruits and veggies retain the most pesticides, even after washing. CNN's medical correspondent Meg Terrell tells us which ones made the list. The new study found that about 3/4 of non-organic produce still had pesticide residues even after washing. We learned three key facts to keep in mind. Some fruits and vegetables carry more pesticides than others.
4:46.40 – 5:48.40 (62.0s)
16
Strawberries have sort of been at the top of the list for a little while.
5:49.20 – 5:51.68 (2.5s)
17
That list comes from the Environmental Working Group, which each year uses data from the US Department of Agriculture to figure out which non-organic fresh fruits and veggies have the most pesticide residue left after a quick wash. A lot of these are very tender fruits and vegetables that don't have a hard casing that you might um peel. And they also are very close to the ground or in other ways need a lot of pesticides in order to be grown properly.
5:52.48 – 6:19.12 (26.6s)
18
I'd love to buy my kids all organic, but that's expensive. So, there is a more affordable way to think about it.
6:19.92 – 6:25.76 (5.8s)
19
First, consider what your family enjoys eating. Then, compare that to fruits and vegetables that are high in pesticides.
6:26.56 – 6:33.52 (7.0s)
20
you might want to choose organic for just those.
6:34.32 – 6:35.76 (1.4s)
21
The EWG also lists the produce with the least pesticide residue.
6:36.56 – 6:39.92 (3.4s)
22
Looking at the Clean 15, which have nearly 60% of samples with no detectable residues, is a way for consumers to balance that. You know, getting a lot of fruits and vegetables in their diet without compromising on pesticide exposure. No matter what, wash, wash, wash. It doesn't get rid of all the residue, but it helps if you do it right. EWG's Alexis Tempmpkin says special washes have not been shown to help. And even if you got something with a peel, you should still wash it.
6:40.72 – 7:07.04 (26.3s)

Now to some intriguing news from Major League Baseball. Yesterday was opening day, and the Giants and Yankees played in the first ever regular season game with the new automatic ball strike system, aka the Robo Ump. Batters, pitchers, and catchers are allowed to challenge a pitch if they think it was called incorrectly by tapping their head. And tech support is called in to help them make the call. Our Hannah Kaiser gives us an inside look at this striking new tech.
7:07.84 – 7:33.60 (25.8s)
24
It's baseball's opening day and robo have arrived. Let me explain. After years of extensive testing in the lower levels, she wants to challenge. Major League Baseball is set to debut the automated ball strike system in real regular season big league games.
7:34.40 – 7:49.04 (14.6s)
25
Oh, but he got clipped.
7:49.84 – 7:50.34 (0.5s)
26
But we're not going full robot takeover.
7:51.12 – 7:53.12 (2.0s)
27
Human umpires will still call like normal.
7:53.92 – 7:55.28 (1.4s)
28
Matteo caught looking. He wants to challenge him.
7:56.08 – 7:57.28 (1.2s)
29
But this year, if a player disagrees with a call, they can do more than just gripe about it. The batter, pitcher, and catcher can all challenge calls by tapping their head or helmet, but they'll have to do so pretty much instantly and without getting any input from coaches or anybody else in the dugout. Challenge calls will be referred to technology that tracks the path of the ball relative to a two-dimensional strike zone over the center of home plate.
7:58.08 – 8:19.52 (21.4s)
30
Challenge twice and he's been incorrect twice. It's kind of like those Kzone boxes you've seen on broadcasts at home, but critically way more precise and customized to the exact height of each individual batter. Teams start games with two challenges a piece.
8:20.32 – 8:34.96 (14.6s)
31
Well, let's see. This is where the drama begins.
8:35.76 – 8:37.04 (1.3s)
32
And if the challenge is correct and the call is overturned, they'll retain those challenges.
8:37.84 – 8:41.84 (4.0s)
33
Nicely done.
8:42.64 – 8:43.44 (0.8s)
34
If the umpire's call is upheld, they'll lose the challenges.
8:44.24 – 8:46.16 (1.9s)
35
Minnesota has one challenge remaining.
8:46.96 – 8:48.16 (1.2s)
36
I'd be a little embarrassed.
8:48.96 – 8:50.40 (1.4s)
37
Because of the extensive testing of this system, we already know a little bit about how some things will play out. For instance, teams are likely to unofficially ban pitchers from challenging any call because, as it turns out, it's hard to be impartial about a pitch you throw.
8:51.20 – 9:04.40 (13.2s)
38
Catchers are better than batters at challenging. And on the whole, players were correct with their challenge calls about 52% of the time. The challenge just to make sure that the most important calls are correct and without totally giving the game over to robots.
9:05.20 – 9:19.44 (14.2s)
39
He still doesn't believe it.
9:20.24 – 9:24.28 (4.0s)
40
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10 proves beauty is definitely more than skin deep. Students at JFK High School in New York spending time with senior citizens on their day off.
9:26.88 – 9:36.40 (9.5s)
41
What's your name?
9:37.20 – 9:38.16 (1.0s)
42
You like playing cards? Oh yeah, I like at an assisted living community in Long Island, members of the Glamour Gals Club offer manicures, games, and most importantly, connection.
9:38.96 – 9:49.92 (11.0s)
43
Making people happy is just something so important in life.
9:50.72 – 9:52.96 (2.2s)
44
The group is part of a nationwide program focused on bridging generations, one conversation at a time.
9:53.76 – 9:59.36 (5.6s)
45
The fresh young faces keep us young.
10:00.16 – 10:01.92 (1.8s)
46
I truly enjoy this.
10:02.72 – 10:03.68 (1.0s)
47
A day off from school, but still a lesson learned. That kindness never goes out of style. These folks really nailed it. I have a shout out today going to Mr. Emerson and our friends at Otto Peterson School in Scapus, Oregon. Thank you for making us a part of your day.
10:04.48 – 10:20.16 (15.7s)
48
Rise up. And I want to give a shout out to someone I met at the Winter Olympics.
10:20.96 – 10:24.48 (3.5s)
49
This is Char, an upand cominging superstar. Keep working hard and study harder, buddy. All right. Shout out to you, Miss Mendoza, and all of our friends at Lebanon Trail High School in Frisco, Texas. You're good as gold.
10:25.28 – 10:36.00 (10.7s)
50
making an awesome Thursday all and I will see you right back here tomorrow.
10:36.80 – 10:39.04 (2.2s)

I'm Koi Wire and we are CNN 10.
10:39.84 – 10:44.84 (5.0s)
このレッスンについて
この動画は、CNN 10のニュース番組形式で、現代社会が直面する様々な重要トピックを網羅しています。冒頭では、ソーシャルメディア企業の「意図的に中毒性のある製品」に関する画期的な訴訟が取り上げられ、その後のSNSのあり方に大きな影響を与える可能性について報じられます。続いて、イランと米国・イスラエルの紛争がホルムズ海峡の閉鎖を引き起こし、世界的な石油供給網、特にアジア諸国のエネルギー危機に与える甚大な影響が詳細に語られます。
そして、動画タイトルにもなっている「"The Dirty Dozen"：農薬があなたのお気に入りの果物や野菜にどう影響するか」というテーマでは、農薬が作物保護にもたらした革命と、それが健康に与える潜在的な害について掘り下げます。オーガニック食品の選択肢、Environmental Working Group（EWG）が発表する農薬残留量の多い果物と野菜のリスト「Dirty Dozen」、そして残留量の少ない「Clean 15」について詳しく解説され、賢い食品選びのヒントが得られます。その他、MLBの自動ボールストライクシステム「ロボアンプ」の導入や、世代間交流を促す感動的なボランティア活動も紹介され、幅広い視点からニュースを伝える構成となっています。
この動画を通じて、学習者は多様な社会問題に関する専門的な英語の語彙トピック（経済、国際関係、農業、科学、テクノロジー、社会貢献）を習得し、ニュース報道で用いられる文法パターンやスピーキングの文脈を理解し、自身の英語スピーキング練習に活かすことができます。特に、複雑な情報を簡潔かつ論理的に伝える方法を学ぶ絶好の機会となるでしょう。
重要な語彙とフレーズ
- liable on all counts（あらゆる訴因で責任がある）：裁判において、提示された全ての訴えに対して責任があると判断されること。
- have major ripple effects（大きな波紋を広げる、多大な影響を及ぼす）：一つの出来事が、広い範囲にわたって連鎖的な影響を与えること。
- unprecedented crisis（前例のない危機）：これまで経験したことのない、非常に深刻な事態。
- soaring fuel prices（高騰する燃料価格）：燃料の値段が非常に高く上昇すること。経済ニュースで頻出。
- pervasive（広く行き渡っている、蔓延している）：好ましくないものが、隅々まで広まっている状態。
- retain the most pesticides（最も多くの農薬を保持する）：果物や野菜が、洗浄後も高いレベルの農薬成分を含んでいる状態。
- detectable residues（検出可能な残留物）：ある物質（この場合は農薬）が、検査によって確認できる量で残っていること。
この動画の練習のコツ
このCNN 10の動画は、英語の流暢さを高めるためのシャドーイングや発音練習に非常に適しています。ニュースアンカーのKy Wireは、明瞭で聞き取りやすい発音で、やや速めのスピードで話します。その他の記者（Christyl Stout, Meg Terrell, Hannah Kaiser）も同様にプロフェッショナルな話し方をしています。
- 話速とアクセント： ニュース英語特有のクリアでテキパキとした話し方は、自然な英語のリズムとイントネーションを掴むのに最適です。アメリカ英語の標準的なアクセントに慣れ、リンキング（単語の連結）やリダクション（音の省略）に意識を向けながら模倣することで、発音練習の効果を最大化できます。速さに挑戦し、一貫したペースで話す練習をしましょう。これはIELTS対策のスピーキングセクションにも大いに役立ちます。
- トピックの難易度と語彙： 経済、国際情勢、農業、科学、社会問題といった多岐にわたる専門的なトピックが含まれているため、非常に実用的な語彙を学ぶことができます。特に「農薬」に関するセクションでは、"pesticides," "residues," "organic produce," "supply chains"といった専門用語が頻出します。これらの単語やフレーズを正確に発音し、文脈の中で自然に使えるように練習することで、語彙力と表現力が飛躍的に向上します。
- シャドーイングの具体的なアドバイス：
- まずは動画を繰り返し視聴し、全体の内容を把握しましょう。特に聞き取りにくい箇所は、必要に応じて一時停止し、トランスクリプトで確認してください。
- 次に、スクリプトを見ながら音声を追って発音する「オーバーラッピング」で、スピードとリズムに慣れます。
- 最終的にスクリプトを見ずに、音声のすぐ後を追いかける「シャドーイング」を行います。ニュースアンカーのKy Wireのように、論理的で淀みのない話し方を意識して真似てみましょう。
- 特に、ホルムズ海峡の経済的影響やダーティ・ダズンに関する具体的な情報（数字やリスト）を伝える部分に注目し、情報を正確に伝える話し方を練習することで、より複雑な話題についても英語スピーキング練習ができるようになります。
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。
ShadowingEnglishでの効果的な学習方法
- 動画を選ぶ: 自然で明瞭な英語が使われているYouTube動画を選びましょう。TED Talks、BBC News、映画のシーン、ポッドキャスト、IELTS模範解答などが最適です。URLをコピーして検索バーに貼り付けてください。短い動画（5分以内）や、自分が本当に興味を持てるテーマから始めるのがコツです。
- まず聞いて内容を理解する: 最初は1倍速でただ聞くだけにしましょう。まだ繰り返す必要はありません。文の意味を理解し、話者がどのように単語を強調し、音を繋げ、間を取っているかに注目してください。内容を把握してからシャドーイングに入ると、はるかに効果的です。
- シャドーイングモードを設定する:
- Wait Mode（待機モード）:
+3sまたは+5sを選ぶと、動画が一文を読み終えた後に自動で一時停止し、繰り返す時間が生まれます。完全に手動でコントロールしたい場合はManualを選んでNextを自分で押しましょう。 - Sub Sync（字幕同期）: YouTubeの字幕と音声がずれることがあります。
±100msで調整して、正確なタイミングで追えるようにしてください。
- Wait Mode（待機モード）:
- 声に出してシャドーイングする（最重要）: ここが練習の本質です。文が流れると同時に——または一時停止中に——はっきりと自信を持って声に出して繰り返しましょう。ただ単語を読むだけでなく、話者のリズム、強調、高低、連音をそっくりそのまま真似することが大切です。「影」のように話者に重なるのが理想。Repeat機能を使って同じ文を何度も繰り返し、自然に出てくるまで定着させましょう。
- 徐々に難易度を上げて続ける: 一つのパッセージに慣れたら、さらに挑戦してみましょう。速度を <code>1.25x</code> や <code>1.5x</code> に上げれば、高速の言語反射を鍛えられます。Wait Modeを <code>Off</code> にして連続シャドーイングするのが最も上級で効果的なモードです。毎日15〜30分継続すれば、数週間で目に見える変化を実感できます。
