Hello.
2
This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Neil.
4
And I'm Beth.
5
It seems people around the world are in love with snacks.
6
From old favourites like popcorn and crisps to new inventions like the chocolate sandwich, snacks are big business, with an estimated $1.5 trillion a year spent globally on snacking.
7
Let's listen as British food historian Annie Gray and Argentinian chef Barbara Oyavari tell BBC World Service programme The Food Chain what they like to snack on between meals.
8
I like salted peanuts and I love a banana.
9
Preferably together, actually, I find that they hit the spot.
10
My favourite snack is called chipa.
11
It's a small round bun made with cassava, cheese, butter, milk and salt.
12
Barbara's favourite snack is a cheese bread called chippa, while for Annie it's the combination of peanuts and banana that hits the spot, an idiom meaning that it's exactly what you want.
13
Neil, what's your favourite snack?
14
Well, I want to say something healthy but actually, you know, I really love a bag of crisps.
15
Oh, me too.
16
Yeah, crisps are good.
17
Well, whatever you like to nibble on, in this episode, we'll find out why we are so in love with snack food.
18
As usual, we'll learn some useful new words and phrases.
19
And remember, you'll find all the vocabulary and a quiz on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
20
OK, but first I have a question for you, Beth.
21
According to a recent YouGov survey, which of the following snacks is most popular amongst Brits?
22
Is it a crisps, b confectionery and chocolate, or c savoury snacks and biscuits?
23
Well, we both just said crisps, so I'm going to say crisps.
24
Well, we'll find out the answer later in the programme.
25
Someone with a professional interest in snacking is Christine Cochrane, president of Snack International, the trade association for the industry.
26
Here, Christine shares her ideas about why we love to snack with BBC World Service programme, The Food Chain.
27
A snack is an affordable luxury.
28
So if you've had a bad day or money is tight, this is something that you can turn to.
29
And I think that is why you see it as so popular.
30
Consumers, especially in the United States, are looking for smaller, more convenient portions.
31
They're not always going to be able to sit down and have three meals a day, right?
32
So they're eating on the go.
33
And the other thing that you see is this desire for very specific functional ingredients, right?
34
So mental clarity, gut health, muscle development, these sorts of things.
35
Again, they're nicely packaged in snack sizes.
36
Snacks are often seen as a little luxury, but to be successful, a snack must also be affordable, an adjective meaning not expensive.
37
Snacks, which are cheap enough for most people to buy, will sell even if money is tight – a phrase used to describe a situation where there's only just enough money to live on.
38
Thanks to snacks, today fewer people sit down to eat a proper meal.
39
Instead they eat on the go.
40
If you do something on the go, you do it while you're busy travelling or moving around, rather than at home.
41
Many modern snacks target a specific function.
42
For example, an energy drink might claim to improve your gut health or your mental clarity – a term describing a state of mind which is focused and engaged, not dull or foggy.
43
But not everyone is a fan of modern packaged snacks, such as the bag of crisps and chocolate bars which fill our shops.
44
Originally from Argentina, Barbara Oyavari now lives in Florida, USA.
45
Here, Barbara tells BBC World Service's The Food Chain how she encourages her nine-year-old son to choose more natural snacks.
46
Personally, I enjoy cooking and eating more natural, simpler snacks, but of course I can't swim against the current.
47
And if my nine-year-old wants to eat the little baked snacks that have cheddar.
48
Ironically, it is something baked with cheese in it, which is similar to what I enjoy.
49
It's just the modern twist to it.
50
Barbara wants her son to eat healthy, homemade food, although he prefers modern packaged snacks.
51
Barbara complains she can't swim against the current.
52
The idiom swim against the current means to act differently from other people, often because you do not mind being different.
53
Well, Neil, all these snacks have made me hungry.
54
Now isn't it time to reveal the answer to your question?
55
Yes, it is.
56
I asked, according to a recent YouGov survey, which of the following snacks is the most popular amongst Brits?
57
Crisps, confectionery and chocolate or savoury snacks and biscuits?
58
And the answer was...
59
b.
60
Confectionary and chocolate, which 45% of Britons indulge in weekly, according to that survey.
61
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learnt, starting with the phrase hits the spot, which describes something which is exactly what you want or need.
62
If something is affordable, it's cheap enough that most people have enough money to buy it.
63
The phrase, money is tight, means you only have just enough money to live.
64
The idiom, on the go, means doing things while you're busy travelling or moving around.
65
Mental clarity is a state in which your mind is fully focused and active, not dull or foggy.
66
And finally, people who swim against the current or the tide do or say things differently from most other people.
67
Once again, our six minutes are up, but why not head over to our website, bbclearningenglish.com to try the quiz and worksheets for this episode.
68
See you again soon!

Goodbye!

このビデオでスピーキングを練習する理由は？
この「6 Minute English」のエピソードでは、スナックについての愛情が語られています。スピーキング練習をすることで、この会話のコンテキストを通じて、英語の表現やボキャブラリーを身につけることができます。特に、好きなスナックや食事について話すことは、日常生活でよく使う場面です。自分の意見を述べたり、他人の意見に賛同したりするスキルを磨くには最適な内容です。英語のシャドーイングやスピーキング技術を向上させることができるため、IELTS スピーキング対策にも非常に役立つでしょう。
文法と表現の文脈
このビデオには、次のような重要な文法構造や表現があります：
- “hit the spot” - この表現は「ぴったりくる」や「満足できる」という意味で、特に何かが特別に美味しかったり、自分の好みに合ったりする時に使います。
- “be in love with” - 誰かまたは何かを非常に好きであることを表す表現です。スナックの愛情を表現するのにピッタリです。
- “on the go” - 忙しいときや外を移動しているときに何かをすることを表します。現代の食生活におけるスナックの取り方を示す良い例です。
これらの表現をshadow speakを通じて練習することで、より自然に会話ができるようになります。
一般的な発音の罠
このビデオでは、特に注意が必要な発音のポイントがあります。例えば、「snack」という単語では、短く強い「a」の音を意識して発音しなければなりません。また、「crisps」と「chips」は発音が似ているため、間違いやすいです。ネイティブスピーカーの発音に注意を払い、これらの単語を繰り返し練習することで、英語の発音を良くすることができます。
英語を学ぶ皆さんには、これらの要素を取り入れ、スピーキングの練習を通じて自信を持って会話できるようになることをお勧めします。英語のスピーキング力を高めるためには、積極的にコミュニケーションを取ることが大切です。
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。
