We saw images of it before our neighbours had come in here before

127
John Sudworth, BBC News, Altadena.
128
Let's go back now to our correspondent Emma Vardy.
129
And Emma, you spoke at the end of your report about fears that the situation might get worse before it gets better.
130
Well there's now 3,000 firefighters battling that Palisades fire above us but Rita they're stretched,
131
they're fatigued and the fear is that with those winds picking up
132
that any progress that's been made it can be reversed very quickly
133
and down here of course we're under no illusions as to what the consequences are
134
when the fire starts spreading once again and moves incredibly fast.
135
These buildings want luxury beachfront properties.
136
They're still smouldering, but gradually people have started to come down here themselves to look at the damage.
137
But now there is this curfew in place from 6pm at
138
night until 6pm in the morning to try to prevent looting while this crisis continues.
139
Emma, thank you very much.
140
Emma Vardy there reporting from the Pacific Coast Highway.
141
While powerful winds and parched ground after months of no rain,
142
a deadly combination which has allowed the California fires to spread.
143
Today it was confirmed that last year was the hottest ever recorded.
144
Temperatures were 1.6 degrees higher than the pre-industrial average.
145
European scientists have warned
146
that the target of 1.5 degrees agreed in Paris 10 years
147
ago to avoid the worst effects of global warming is in danger of being permanently breached.
148
Here's our climate editor Justin Rowlat.
149
LA in flames.
150
It is like a vision from a dystopian sci-fi movie,
151
but it is happening right now and it is exactly the kind of event climate scientists have been warning about for years.
152
And remember this, the devastating floods in Spain caused by exceptionally heavy rain in October.
153
Or this, the historic drought in the Amazon basin,
154
which reduced river levels to a 120-year low.
155
Before the Industrial Revolution, so between 1850 and 1900,
156
average global temperatures were about 13.5 degrees Celsius.
157
Now take a look at this.
158
Each line shows average daily air temperatures for every year since 1940.
159
The redder the colour, the hotter the temperature.
160
And just look how relentless the temperature rise has been with last year,
161
2024, the hottest year ever recorded.
162
And look at this.
163
It was also the first calendar year in which average temperatures exceeded 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels.
164
Experts say it represents a new climate era for our species.
165
We're living in a climate that humanity hasn't experienced before.
166
We can say with confidence when we look at ice core records,
167
when we look at other data sets,
168
that this is the warmest period for at least the last 100,000 years or so.
169
And when we look back at the ice core records,
170
it's the highest concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere for the last 800,000 years or so.
171
This year should be a bit cooler than the last two,
172
say scientists, but 2025 is still expected to be one of the hottest years on record.
173
And that shows why, as the fires in LA continue,
174
we should all be worried by the way our world is warming.

이 수업에 대하여
이번 수업에서는 로스앤젤레스의 산불 상황과 관련된 내용을 통해 영어를 연습합니다. 뉴스 리포트에 등장하는 주요 어휘와 표현을 학습하며, 이를 통해 실제 상황에서 영어로 소통하는 능력을 향상시킬 수 있습니다. 특히, 매우 긴박한 상황에서 사람들이 어떻게 대응하는지를 포함한 다양한 발음을 익히게 됩니다.
주요 어휘 및 구문
- wildfires - 산불
- evacuation order - 대피 명령
- curfew - 통금
- local volunteers - 지역 자원봉사자들
- emergency services - 긴급 서비스
- security - 보안
- contained - 진압된, 제어된
- abandoned neighborhoods - 버려진 동네
연습 팁
영어 쉐도잉을 통해 이 리포트의 내용을 연습하세요. 영상의 속도가 다소 빠르기 때문에, 처음에는 잠시 멈추고 발음을 따라하는 것이 좋습니다. shadowspeak 기법을 사용하여 발음과 억양을 집중적으로 연습하세요. 예를 들어, 통금에 관해 설명하는 부분에서 'You cannot be in these affected areas'라는 문장을 반복하여 발음을 교정할 수 있습니다. 영어 발음 교정을 원하신다면, 특히 강세와 리듬에 유의해야 합니다.
또한, 영상의 반복 시청은 유튜브 영어 공부에 매우 유익하며, 실생활에서 자주 들을 수 있는 표현들을 몸에 익히는 데 큰 도움이 됩니다. 단어를 반복해 듣거나 따라 말하면서 필요한 어휘를 자연스럽게 학습하는 것이 중요합니다. 자신만의 shadow speech 노트를 만들어 이 문장들을 기록하면서 연습해보세요.
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.
