Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
I'm Neil.
3
And I'm Pippa.
4
Many of us don't think twice about where the food in our kitchen comes from.
5
One trip to the supermarket and we can buy anything we want, whether that's fruit grown in South America, tomatoes from Spain or rice flown in from Asia.
6
Do you know where the food you buy comes from, Neil?
7
I try to pay attention and buy stuff that's locally produced but actually sometimes I don't really look.
8
How about you?
9
I actually have a calendar on my kitchen wall which tells me which fruits and vegetables are grown at what times of year.
10
The reality is that the supply of fresh food to the UK is fragile.
11
The UK imports around 40% of its food and this supply chain can easily be disrupted by wars, shortages and, increasingly, by climate change.
12
In fact, the UK Government's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs recently reported on the importance of food security, the term for having a reliable enough supply of affordable, healthy food to feed everyone.
13
In this episode, we'll be investigating the issues affecting food production in the UK.
14
As usual, we'll learn some useful new vocabulary and remember there's a quiz, worksheet and transcript of this episode on our website bbclearningenglish.com.
15
But first, of course, Pippa, I have a quiz question for you.
16
I mentioned that Britain imports 40% of its food from other producers, mostly in Europe.
17
But which European country does the UK import the most food from?
18
Is it A.
19
France, B.
20
The Netherlands or C.
21
Ireland?
22
I've seen the Netherlands on a lot of food packaging in the UK, so I'm going to say B.
23
The Netherlands.
24
OK, well, we'll find out if you're right later in the programme.
25
According to the UK government's recent report, there are many issues affecting Britain's food supply – geopolitical conflicts like those in Ukraine and Iran, droughts and water shortages, loss of biodiversity caused by climate change – the list goes on and on.
26
Here, climate reporter Mark Poynting discusses the report's conclusions with BBC Radio 4's The Food Programme.
27
And it really draws on scientific research to come up with what it calls as a reasonable worst-case scenario for how biodiversity loss could affect UK security.
28
And its conclusions are really quite stark.
29
The first line of the report says global ecosystem degradation and collapse threatens the UK's national security.
30
The report describes a worst-case scenario where Britain runs out of food.
31
A worst-case scenario is the worst possible thing that could happen in a particular situation.
32
Mark says the report's conclusions are stark, an adjective which in this case means obvious or severe.
33
Another problem with food security relates to climate change.
34
Carbon emissions from food production make up around a third of all greenhouse gases, from the diesel used to drive tractors, to fertilisers, to cows and sheep producing methane.
35
Emma Pinchbeck is the Chief Executive of the UK's Climate Change Committee.
36
She spoke about this problem with BBC Radio 4's The Food Programme.
37
The biggest chunk of emissions from agriculture comes from simply having livestock on the land.
38
That's the bit of the puzzle that we need to think about going forward.
39
And in the way that we've thought about it, for every cow or sheep we take off the land, we put on something else.
40
And what that does overall is it makes farmers and landowners part of the solution to climate change, not the problem.
41
Livestock – that's farm animals such as cattle, sheep and pigs – contribute most of the carbon emissions from agriculture.
42
Moving towards a sustainable food supply involves reducing the amount of meat and dairy we eat in favour of non-animal protein, such as beans and lentils.
43
Encouraging farmers and consumers to move away from meat is a piece of the puzzle, according to Emma.
44
A piece of the puzzle means a part of the solution to a problem, In this case, the twin problems of food security and climate change.
45
Emma says it's important to think again about how farmland is used.
46
For every cow or sheep taken off the land, something else, such as a fruit tree or vegetable crop, is put in its place.
47
That way farmers become part of the solution, not the problem.
48
An idiom meaning that if you are not actively trying to fix a problem, you are helping it continue.
49
Lots of ideas to chew over there, Neil.
50
But now, isn't it time you revealed the answer to your question?
51
My question was, which European country does the UK import the most food from?
52
And you said B, the Netherlands.
53
And you were absolutely correct, Pippa.
54
It is the Netherlands.
55
The UK imports 7.6 billion pounds worth of imports, especially vegetables and dairy.
56
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned, starting with food security.
57
The situation where a country has a reliable enough supply of food to feed its population.
58
The worst case scenario is the worst possible thing that could happen in a particular situation.
59
The adjective stark has several meanings, including obvious and severe.
60
Livestock are animals and birds that are kept on a farm, such as cows, sheep or chickens.
61
The phrase a piece of the puzzle means a part of the solution to a problem.
62
And finally, the idiom be part of the solution, not the problem, means that if you are not actively trying to fix a problem, you are helping it continue.
63

64
Bye for now.
65
Goodbye.

왜 이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 할까요?

이 비디오는 음식의 미래와 공급망의 취약성에 대한 심도 깊은 논의를 제공합니다. 영어 회화 연습을 위해 매우 유익한 자료가 될 수 있습니다. 다양한 환경 문제와 그로 인한 음식 생산의 어려움에 대해 설명하는 이 에피소드는 영어를 사용하는 실생활 상황을 반영합니다. 이 비디오를 통해 인상적인 표현과 어휘를 배우고, 이를 바탕으로 자신의 의견을 영어로 더욱 효과적으로 전달할 수 있습니다. 여러 국가의 음식 수입과 관련한 내용은 우리가 일상적으로 접하는 주제이며, IELTS 스피킹 시험에서도 자주 등장할 수 있는 주제입니다.

문맥 속 문법 및 표현

  • be affected by: 이 표현은 무언가가 어떤 영향을 받는 상황을 설명합니다. 예를 들어, "Food supply is affected by climate change"와 같이 쓸 수 있습니다.
  • worst-case scenario: 최악의 상황을 표현할 때 사용할 수 있는 중요한 구조입니다. "The report describes a worst-case scenario"와 같이 사용할 수 있습니다.
  • piece of the puzzle: 문제 해결에 있어 한 요소를 의미합니다. "That’s a piece of the puzzle we need to consider"라고 말할 수 있습니다.
  • carbon emissions from food production: 음식 생산과 관련된 탄소 배출에 대해 이야기할 때 유용한 표현입니다. "Food production accounts for a significant portion of carbon emissions"와 같은 형태로 사용할 수 있습니다.

일반적인 발음 트랩

비디오에서 사용되는 특정 단어들은 발음하기 어려울 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, emissions (배출)이라는 단어는 '이미션스'로 발음되며, 특히 영어 비원어민에게는 매끄럽게 발음하기 어려운 경우가 많습니다. 또한 biodiversity (생물 다양성)라는 단어는 여러 음절로 구성되어 있어 템포를 맞추기 어려울 수 있습니다. 이러한 단어들을 연습하며 영어 발음 교정을 하여 더욱 자연스러운 발음 습득이 필요합니다. 발음을 교정할 때는 쉐도잉(shadowspeak)을 통해 원어민의 발음을 따라 하는 것이 도움이 됩니다.

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.
