6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.

Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Neil.
4
And I'm Sam.
5
English has many proverbs – short and well-known phrases giving a piece of useful advice or common sense.
6
For example, the proverb, actions speak louder than words, means that what people do is more important than what they say.
7
And the proverb, don't judge a book by its cover, advises people not to form opinions about people based on how they look.
8
Proverbs are found in many cultures and languages and are often passed down through the generations to teach children lessons in life.
9
One famous English proverb is, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
10
In other words, eating fresh fruit is good for you.
11
But is it really true?
12
can eating an apple a day actually have significant health benefits?
13
That's the question we'll be discussing in this programme and, as usual, we'll be learning some new vocabulary as well.
14
But before that, I have a question for you, Sam.
15
Most proverbs come from a place's history and England has a long history of growing apples.
16
Over the centuries, hundreds of different apple varieties have been grown in orchards up and down the country, some with quite unusual names.
17
So which of the following is the name of a real type of English apple?
18
Is it a a tailor's gold, b a golden pippin, or c a black Worcester?
19
I don't know, but I think it's b, a golden pippin.
20
OK, Sam, I'll reveal the answer later in the programme.
21
But whatever the name of the apple, new scientific research is showing that there really are health benefits to eating apples, especially with the skins on.
22
skins are full of good stuff – fibre, vitamins and especially flavonoids – a chemical compound known to reduce blood pressure and improve brain and heart health.
23
No wonder then that when Dr Michael Moseley, presenter of BBC Radio 4 programme Just One Thing, wanted a snack to eat, he reached for an apple.
24
It's early afternoon and I'm a bit peckish, so I'm about to grab a delicious snack that could improve my blood flow, boost my brain and trim my waistline.
25
Mmm.
26
This is not some exotic soup of food.
27
In fact, it's an apple.
28
Dr Moseley wanted something to eat because he was peckish, a little bit hungry.
29
He wanted something healthy, but chose an apple instead of exotic superfoods like blueberries or a banana smoothie.
30
If you call something exotic, you mean it's unusual and exciting, often because it comes from an unfamiliar place.
31
Instead, he ate the least exotic fruit I can imagine – the humble apple.
32
But Dr Moseley thinks apples do have health benefits, and he lists them.
33
Apples improve blood flow, boost the brain and trim the waistline – a phrase which means to keep a healthy body weight with no extra fat.
34
Yes, one reason apples are so good for us is that the skin is packed with flavonoids, which help people lose weight and have even been linked to a longer life.
35
But that's not all.
36
It's the fact that there are so many different ways of cooking and eating apples which makes them one of the nation's favourite foods.
37
Here's Dr Moseley again, explaining how he likes to eat his apples to Just One Thing on BBC Sounds.
38
What I love about apples is they are so versatile.
39
I've been snacking on them, grating them into my porridge and having them sliced with full-fat yoghurt as a dessert.
40
But baked apples are one of my favourite ways to consume them.
41
It seems an apple a day really does keep the doctor away and also keep your heart, gut and even your waistline in good shape.
42
Dr Moseley eats apples in porridge, sliced with yoghurt and even baked in the oven.
43
He describes them as versatile – things which can be used for many different purposes or in many different ways.
44
What's more, cooking or baking apples doesn't damage those healthy flavonoids, so even the occasional apple crumble with custard can be good for you.
45
Apple crumble and custard.
46
I'm not so sure that's a way to get in good shape.
47
A phrase meaning healthy or in good condition.
48
But Neil, it seems the old proverb is true.
49
According to the science, an apple a day really does keep the doctor away.
50
Right, it's time to reveal the answer to your question.
51
Yes, I asked you about the strange sounding names given to some varieties of English apple.
52
And I said that a golden pippin was the name of a real apple.
53
So was I right?
54
Yes, you were.
55
Pippin apples were first grown in Arundel, near the south coast of England, while the other two, Black Worcester and Taylor's Gold, are actually types of English pear.
56
Right, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned from this programme, starting with proverb, a short sentence or expression giving some well-known traditional advice.
57
If you're feeling peckish, you're slightly hungry.
58
The adjective exotic describes something which is unusual and exciting, often because it comes far away place.
59
The phrase trim the waistline means to keep your body weight healthy with no extra fat around your waistline – the area of your body above the hips.
60
Something which is versatile can be used for many purposes or in many different ways.
61
And finally, if someone is in good shape, they're in a good state of health.
62
Once again, our six minutes are up.
63
Bye for now!

Bye!

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。
