6 Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
I'm Beth.
3
And I'm Neil.
4
In this episode we're talking about allergies.
5
Allergies are when a certain food or material makes you feel sick.
6
Do you have any allergies, Beth?
7
Yeah, so I am actually allergic to dairy so I can't have anything with milk.
8
So no No cheese, no butter.
9
What about you Neil?
10
Have you got any allergies?
11
Well, I'm not great with dairy either but it's not an allergy, more of an intolerance.
12
So it just makes me feel a bit bad rather than actually making me sick.
13
But I do have hay fever so I'm allergic to pollen.
14
That means in the summer months I'm sneezing and coughing all the time.
15
I get runny eyes and a runny nose and it also gives me a little bit of asthma.
16
So it's a bit of a pain.
17
Oh yeah, that sounds really horrible.
18
Now, scientific evidence shows that more people are developing allergies.
19
In this programme, we're going to find out about what it's like living with an allergy and where in the world has the highest rate of allergies.
20
But first I have a question for you, Beth.
21
What is the most common allergy in the world?
22
Is it a peanuts, b pollen or c dairy?
23
I'm going to say pollen.
24
A lot of people I know have hay fever.
25
including me?
26
Well, we'll find out the answer at the end of the show.
27
Now Beth, you're allergic to dairy, but imagine if you had over 50 allergies.
28
That's the situation for Mia Silverman, who runs a social media account, Allergies with Mia, where she talks about living with lots of allergies.
29
My 50 plus allergies include all nuts and their oils.
30
I'm allergic to all fish except for cooked tuna and cooked codfish.
31
Life for Mia involves a lot of planning.
32
As she told BBC World Service programme, What in the World?
33
And having these 50 plus allergies impact my life every single day.
34
So when it comes to going to restaurants, having to call ahead of time, talk to the manager, talk to the chef, make sure that the restaurant can accommodate me, that they can make me something safe and use protocols to prevent any sort of risk of any allergens touching my dish.
35
When it comes to socialising, it can be kind of hard sometimes because I want to make sure that my friends don't feel inconvenienced or feel like I'm being a burden.
36
If Mia wants to go to a restaurant, she has to call ahead of time to tell them about her allergies.
37
If you call ahead of time, you phone somewhere, like a restaurant, before you go.
38
We can also say call ahead.
39
Mia needs to find out whether restaurants can accommodate her allergies.
40
Accommodate, in this context, means give someone what they need.
41
Because Mia has so many allergies, she has to visit restaurants which have protocols to stop the food she is allergic to touching her meal.
42
Protocols means a set of rules for a process to make sure things are done properly.
43
Now, most people who have allergies don't have as many as Mia, but scientists believe more people are developing allergies.
44
And there is one place where the number of allergies is particularly high – Australia.
45
In fact, Australia is called the allergy capital of the world.
46
When we describe somewhere as the capital of the world in something, we mean that it's known for that thing.
47
So the allergy capital of the world is the place in the world with the most allergies.
48
BBC journalist Frances Now is from Australia and explains some of the allergy data to BBC World Service podcast What in the World?
49
You're from Australia which has been called the allergy capital of the world.
50
What is it about Australia in particular that is making people more allergic?
51
Australia's termed the allergy capital of the world because due to the research and the data that shows that almost one in ten infants have marked an allergy.
52
And often that's a food allergy or a respiratory allergy.
53
And that does drop off once they're a bit older.
54
Age six or so it goes down to about six percent.
55
And then as an adult it goes down to like three percent.
56
Frances talks about the high numbers of Australian infants, that's babies, who have allergies.
57
But she says the numbers drop off as children get older.
58
If numbers or rates of something drop off, they get lower.
59
By age six or so, Australian children are less likely to have allergies.
60
We can use or so in informal speech to show that the number is an estimate.
61
It's not exact.
62
So Beth, is there anything we can do about all these allergies?
63
Well, scientists are investigating giving babies vitamin D, which can be shown to reduce allergies.
64
Another technique is immunotherapy, which involves scientists giving children tiny amounts of the thing they are allergic to and then building up their baby's tolerance.
65
Interesting.
66
And I think it's time to find out the answer to my question.
67
I asked you what is the most common allergy in the world?
68
I said pollen.
69
Was I right?
70
You were right.
71
Well done.
72
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learnt, starting with call ahead of time, which means to phone somewhere, like a restaurant, before your appointment or before you go there.
73
If you accommodate someone, you give them what they need.
74
Protocols are strict rules for how something is done.
75
If somewhere is the capital of the world for a particular thing, it's known for that thing.
76
For example, London is sometimes called the theatre capital of the world because we have lots of theatres.
77
If numbers drop off, it means they get lower.
78
And we can add or so to a number in informal speech to show that the number is an estimate.
79
It's not exact.
80
Once again, our six minutes are up.
81
But you can test your knowledge even more using the interactive quiz on our website.

이 레슨에 대해

"Are we getting more allergic to things? ⏲️ 6 Minute English"으로 쉐도잉 기법을 사용해 영어를 연습합니다.

매일 15~30분 꾸준히 연습하면 IELTS 스피킹에 대한 자신감이 길러집니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
