1
Hey kids, how are you today?
2
Welcome back to Reading for Vocabulary.
3
This is our last lesson about rocks and in this lesson we're going to talk about a really really really big rock.
4
What What is it?
5
It's called Mount Rushmore.
6
So in this lesson, we will focus on learning about Mount Rushmore.
7
Of course we have to ask, what is Mount Rushmore?
8
There's a little clue by the way.
9
Mount means mountain.
10
And as we can see, whoa, there it is.
11
This is a mountain.
12
one big rock.
13
That's amazing.
14
Look at how big it is.
15
Here are a couple of people on motorcycles.
16
Here's a road and look at how big this rock is.
17
Now can you see something special about this mountain?
18
Sure.
19
There are some faces in the mountain.
20
How did they get there?
21
Well we'll figure that out when we look at the reading.
22
Here are some more pictures of Mount Rushmore.
23
This is a coin that's used in America.
24
It's a coin that shows famous people or places.
25
Many coins in America will do that.
26
They're special coins.
27
This coin here shows Mount Rushmore.
28
Look at the date, 1889.
29
This coin is very old, but it celebrates the making of Mount Rushmore.
30
And we can see the four faces here.
31
We'll talk about those four faces in the reading.
32
Next, we can see another type of example of this.
33
This is a stamp in America.
34
A stamp, of course, you lick it.
35
Of course, in Korea, you put glue on it and you put it on your envelope, 편지, right?
36
And then you can mail it.
37
Well this is a stamp.
38
Like this, we can see that like these things, the coin and the stamp, famous people, famous famous places,
39
famous events are used as pictures on coins and stamps.
40
And again, we saw the coin, now we see the stamp of Mount Rushmore.
41
And this is a special stamp that's made for a certain time.
42
So Mount Rushmore is very important in American history.
43
Finally, we can see this picture shows the park entrance.
44
There's a park in front of Mount Rushmore where many millions of people go there every year to look at Mount Rushmore.
45
When I was a little boy, I went to this park.
46
I can still remember standing there.
47
It was a nice sunny day.
48
I think it was spring, so it wasn't too hot, not too cold, but it was a very beautiful day.
49
And my family and I, we looked up at the Mount Rushmore and we looked at the shops in the park.
50
Okay, so it's a very important place in America.
51
Let's learn some words that we need to know when we look at the reading passage about Mount Rushmore.
52
Who made it?
53
What's it all about?
54
Okay, well let's start with the words of course.
55
Here we have having a high price.
56
Look at this car.
57
That car costs a lot of money.
58
What can we say about the car?
59
we can say that it is expensive.
60
It is expensive.
61
It takes a lot of money.
62
You need a lot of money to buy this car or to pay for this car, having a high price.
63
Cars can be expensive.
64
Buildings can be expensive.
65
Construction projects, if you're building something, that can be expensive too.
66
expensive means it needs a lot of money number two whoa
67
Joe Jameo be careful TNT of course these things what are these things of course you can have one alone
68
or you can tie many together in movies about the old west you know cowboys
69
and Indians sometimes you see them being used in the movie right people will light them
70
and throw them
71
and they go boom right a powerful bomb is called dynamite
72
dynamite die na might three sounds die na might put
73
them all together dynamite dynamite by the way it's interesting dynamite means a bomb
74
but dynamite is also used by young kids to say something is cool or wonderful hey man That's dynamite,
75
means that's great.
76
That's dynamite because boom, it's really good.
77
Sometimes people will say, that's dynamite, that's really good.
78
But dynamite also means that it's a bomb, the actual meaning.
79
Number three, be careful Santa Claus.
80
Santa Claus is playing a fiddle, but look where he is.
81
He's in a very, what kind of position?
82
Able to cause harm.
83
He's in a very dangerous position.
84
It's very dangerous to be sitting on the edge of a building.
85
Don't do that.
86
That situation is very dangerous.
87
So when you're talking about a situation that can cause harm,
88
that can hurt somebody, that is a dangerous situation.
89
Or we can say that it is dangerous.
90
Okay, next one.
91
Number four, finish, right?
92
To come to the end of something.
93
All these people are running.
94
They look like they're in a marathon.
95
They were in a race.
96
They ran for a long time.
97
Finally, they come to the ending point, the end of something.
98
Of course, the word we're looking for is the same as the word on the sign.
99
Finish, right?
100
Finish, finish.
101
When you finish something, you come to the end of it.
102
Whether it's running in a marathon or doing your homework, you finish your homework.
103
Or if you're in some long project, you finish.
104
You come to a finish.
105
Five.
106
Wow, that's really cool.
107
This guy's at the beach.
108
Did you ever build something like this?
109
Right?
110
This is, of course, we call this a sand castle.
111
A sand castle.
112
Now, can you build this sand castle?
113
That's very difficult.
114
This man is really good at creating art.
115
We can call him an artist.
116
So he's an artist.
117
Now artists make many different things.
118
This man is making a sand castle.
119
It looks like art.
120
It's very beautiful.
121
But of course artists also paint, right?
122
They can also make music.
123
We call these people who create things that we like and we enjoy, that are beautiful, we call them artists.
124
Okay, next one, five, no, six, sorry, six.
125
Where are your eyes, your nose and your mouth?
126
Where are they?
127
Of course they're here.
128
What do we call this part of our body?
129
This part of our body here, we call it our face.
130
Okay?
131
She's having fun hiding one of her eyes, right?
132
So where your eyes, nose and mouth are, that's a person's face.
133
Remember when we looked at Mount Rushmore, we saw four faces.
134
So of course we need to know what a face is.
135
Seven, wow, that's really cool looking, isn't it?
136
This of course is a volcano,
137
volcano volcano right a very high hill a very high hill now it's interesting
138
because these are hills right these down here are hills they're not very high but
139
if you look at this that's not a hill that's really
140
really high we call it a mountain that's a mountain so the difference between a hill and a mountain.
141
Hill versus mountain.
142
Hills are small as you can see.
143
They're not that tall, but a mountain, wow, look at that.
144
That's really steep and really high.
145
That's a mountain.
146
Some people argue and they say, that's a mountain.
147
Another person is saying, that's not a mountain, that's a hill, right?
148
It depends also where people are from.
149
If somebody's from a place that's very flat, they might think, wow, that's a mountain.
150
But people who live in the mountains say, that's not a mountain.
151
That's a mountain over there.
152
Okay, very high.
153
Okay, next one, eight.
154
Now these two people are doing something interesting.
155
What happened?
156
Looks like some earthquake maybe came through.
157
An earthquake shook the earth and what did it do?
158
It made small openings in something.
159
What do we call this here?
160
This of course is called a crack.
161
CR, CR.
162
The C is hard.
163
CR and R, R.
164
Put them together.
165
CR, CR, CR, CRACK.
166
OK?
167
A, C, K, CRACK.
168
Now that's maybe difficult to pronounce.
169
CRACK, CRACK.
170
So when you see a small opening, especially in stone or even metal,
171
a little opening looks like it might break soon.
172
You see cracks.
173
If you see cracks, be careful because that means that something might break or something is not strong.
174
It got weak somehow.
175
So if you see a crack, be careful.
176
It's not strong anymore.
177
Number 9, wow, this is pretty cool.
178
Do you have one of these?
179
It's like a puzzle board, right?
180
There are many different what?
181
The outline of something.
182
Here we have an outline.
183
What is that?
184
And we have a different outline.
185
These, of course, are different shapes.
186
This is a circle, a triangle, a square.
187
Those are different shapes.
188
So the outline of something is its shape.
189
Next one, number 10.
190
Looks like Junior is wearing Daddy's clothing.
191
He's got clothes that are too big for him.
192
He looks kind of cute, but it looks kind of strange.
193
His feet are so big for his face, but of course those are his dad's shoes.
194
His feet are probably very small inside that big shoe.
195
Big, another word for big is large.
196
Large.
197
The boy's clothes are too large for him.
198
Too large for him, too big for him.
199
Okay, so large.
200
Large is something that's very big or huge.
201
Huge is another word you could use.
202
Huge has more emphasis, strength.
203
It's huge, Really, really big.
204
Not just big, but huge.
205
Big and large and huge.
206
11. Wow, that's a lot of money.
207
My gosh, that's a lot of money.
208
Here we have 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.
209
What is that?
210
What number do we call it? we call it million.
211
Remember in English we put zero zero zero then comma zero zero zero then comma.
212
Okay so three zeros comma three zeros comma and then one.
213
We go all right one ten hundred thousand ten thousand one hundred thousand then one million.
214
Okay so one million that's a really big number one million.
215
I don't think there is a, I think this picture is not real.
216
I don't think there's a real one million dollar bill.
217
That's crazy.
218
Can you imagine going to a store?
219
Yeah, I'd like some milk, please.
220
Here, a million dollars.
221
Do you have change?
222
That's crazy.
223
Okay, next one.
224
12, far above the ground, far above the ground is high.
225
These balloons, that looks really cool by the way, right?
226
These balloons are high in the air, right?
227
They're far above the ground.
228
They're very high.
229
Like that mountain we talked about before, right?
230
The mountain is really high.
231
The hills are lower than the mountain.
232
So something that's far above the ground is high.
233
13. Not hard.
234
So in other words, it means that it's not difficult, right?
235
If somebody took a test, they got an A+.
236
That test was not hard, it was easy.
237
It was very easy.
238
That test was easy.
239
I hope your tests are easy.
240
Of course, if you want your tests to be easy, study hard.
241
Then your tests will be easier.
242
Number 14.
243
Whoa, what kind of car is that?
244
That's really long.
245
By the way, just Kunyang I'll go ship out.
246
We call that a limousine.
247
You could call it a limo for short.
248
It's a limo.
249
It's a really long car.
250
It looks like it's been stretched, right?
251
It's been stretched.
252
Stretch.
253
It's great in distance or time.
254
Great in distance or time.
255
So you're talking about great, big, or long in distance or time.
256
I just told you long.
257
It's long.
258
It's great in distance or time. To feel painful.
259
Oh no, to feel painful.
260
Poor guy looks like he was playing soccer and boom, maybe somebody hit him on the knee.
261
It feels painful.
262
We say it hurts.
263
So if you're playing sports and something hits you or you get a bruise.
264
By the way, we could call this a bruise.
265
That's like a purple or blue,
266
maybe red because you hit something on your leg or your arm and you have a strange color.
267
That's a bruise.
268
A bruise hurts.
269
You say it It hurts.
270
It hurts.
271
Do not say it's sick.
272
안 돼요.
273
Don't say it's sick.
274
하지 마.
275
Don't say that.
276
Don't say my arm is sick.
277
That's crazy.
278
If you say my arm is sick, it's like, achoo achoo.
279
Oh, poor arm.
280
Drink some orange juice.
281
Right?
282
That's crazy.
283
Your arm can't be sick.
284
Your whole body is sick.
285
Sick is like 감기, right?
286
Cough.
287
Cough.
288
Or you have a cold, right?
289
You're sneezing.
290
Achoo.
291
sick.
292
But if your arm is injured or your arm has a bruise, then you say, my arm hurts.
293
Don't say my arm is sick.
294
That's conglish.
295
My arm is sick is conglish.
296
Do not say that say, my arm hurts.
297
That's correct.
298
Okay, my arm hurts.
299
Yeah, sorry about that.
300
Is sick is wrong.
301
And you know, it's hard for me to write that, right?
302
Because it's wrong.
303
But many students say that.
304
It's Konglish.
305
Don't say my arm is sick.
306
Don't say that.
307
Say my arm hurts.
308
I hope not, but that's what you say.
309
Okay, to feel painful, to hurt.
310
And here we have hurt, hurt, hurt, because hurt, here hurts is a verb, right?
311
It hurts.
312
It hurt yesterday.
313
It has hurt for a long time.
314
So hurt, hurt, hurt.
315
The verb doesn't change.
316
We don't use ED.
317
Don't say my arm hurted yesterday.
318
No, my arm hurt yesterday.
319
My arm hurts now.
320
It hurt yesterday and it has hurt for a long time.
321
Okay, good.
322
So that's hurt.
323
Be careful with that word as you can see.
324
Sixteen, to stop living.
325
This is very sad, right?
326
To stop living, the person, there's a body inside the box, right?
327
It used to be a person.
328
That person died.
329
Okay, to die means to stop living.
330
And that's very unfortunate.
331
It looks like a soldier lost his or her life in a battle.
332
So to die is to stop living.
333
Okay, well that wraps up our words.
334
Let's use the words to complete each sentence.
335
So we're going to complete a sentence with a word from the box.
336
We have many sentences, parts of the sentence are missing.
337
We need to complete the sentence with these words here.
338
Let's go over these words.
339
First we have expensive, expensive, expensive.
340
Dynamite, dynamite.
341
Next one, artist, artist.
342
That's It's easy.
343
Face, face.
344
Dangerous, dangerous.
345
Mountain, mountain.
346
Finish, finish.
347
And crack, crack.
348
Okay, those are our words.
349
Let's see how they fit into these sentences.
350
Number one, I dropped my phone.
351
I hope you don't drop your phone.
352
Now it has a what?
353
And that's too bad.
354
Sometimes I see students, they're carrying their phone and the glass on the front has many what?
355
Well, of course, many what?
356
They have many cracks.
357
Now it has a crack.
358
Do you see that?
359
Sometimes your friends or you're on the subway or the bus, you see somebody with their phone and it looks like their phone,
360
they dropped their phone, and there's a lot of cracks in the glass.
361
That's too bad, right?
362
That's terrible if that happens.
363
You drop your phone, now it has a crack or it has many cracks.
364
Usually it has many cracks, not just one.
365
Number two, I climbed up a very big what?
366
What would you climb up?
367
Now, of course, when you say climb, this means climb, right?
368
If you walk up, you hike up.
369
So you could also say, I hiked.
370
Probably, you guys hike.
371
I don't think too many of you will climb with ropes and expensive gear.
372
So, I climbed up a very big what?
373
What do you climb up?
374
What do you hike up?
375
You hike up a mountain.
376
I hiked up a very big mountain or I climbed up a very big mountain.
377
We climb up, we hike up mountains.
378
I hike, I don't really climb.
379
It's kind of dangerous and you need special equipment to climb a mountain.
380
3. Your eyes your eyes and your nose are on your what?
381
On your elbow?
382
No. On your knee?
383
No. They're on your face.
384
Of course we know that.
385
That's easy.
386
Your eyes and nose are on your face.
387
Number four, it took 14 years.
388
It took 14 years?
389
That means I needed 14 years.
390
Start, finish 14 years in between.
391
It took 14 years to Mount Rushmore.
392
It took 14 years to do what to Mount Rushmore?
393
Well, if you start something and then you finish something, You can say it took certain amount of time to finish,
394
to finish Mount Rushmore.
395
It took 14 years to finish Mount Rushmore.
396
It took 14 years to finish my homework.
397
What?
398
That's crazy.
399
What kind of homework did you have, right?
400
Usually, hopefully, it took you one hour to finish your homework.
401
It took me five minutes to finish washing the dishes, right?
402
So it takes you a certain amount of time to finish, to complete doing something.
403
5. Don't run across the street.
404
That's good advice.
405
Don't run across the street.
406
Why?
407
Because there are cars, right?
408
If you do that, you could get hurt.
409
It's a situation that can cause harm.
410
It is what?
411
It's dangerous.
412
Don't run across the street.
413
walk across the street and be careful.
414
Look both ways and cross where you're supposed to cross.
415
Don't run across the street in the middle.
416
Number six, beep makes a loud noise if you light it.
417
What makes a loud noise if you use fire to light something?
418
Of course we're talking about dynamite.
419
Dynamite makes a loud noise if you light it.
420
It doesn't just make a loud noise, it also makes a really powerful explosion that's very dangerous.
421
So it's not just a loud noise, dynamite makes a loud explosion.
422
Boom!
423
Lots of force.
424
Very dangerous, be careful.
425
Of course, you shouldn't be around dynamite.
426
You'll probably never experience dynamite in your life, unless you're a miner.
427
But dynamite makes a loud explosion if you light it.
428
Okay, that wraps up the vocabulary section.
429
Let's take a short break here.
430
We'll come back and let's read about Mount Rushmore.
431
Who built it?
432
How long did it take?
433
How did they build it?
434
We'll wait after the break to find the answers to those questions.
435
Okay, welcome back.
436
Let's go over the reading together.
437
Now, the reading of course is about Mount Rushmore, but the passage doesn't talk about Mount Rushmore right away.
438
It talks about artists first and then it goes into Mount Rushmore.
439
Let's see how that works.
440
Some artists don't use paint.
441
Okay, so that's a very general statement, right?
442
We're not talking about Mount Rushmore yet, we're talking about artists.
443
They use rocks to make art.
444
First of all, we're talking about some artists, and that's what they refers back to.
445
They is some artists.
446
Some artists don't use paint.
447
They use rocks to make art.
448
So, they, those some artists, they don't use paint, they use rocks.
449
They use rocks to make art?
450
Well, they don't put rocks together, they're doing something different different.
451
They shape them into different things.
452
Some artists don't use paint to make art, they use rocks.
453
They use rocks how they shape them.
454
Remember we learned about hammer and chisel?
455
They use those tools to shape rocks into different things.
456
Some, some what?
457
Some artists?
458
No, some things.
459
Some things look like people, some look like animals, some are big and some are small.
460
So we can talk about these rocks that artists use, right?
461
Sometimes they make the rocks look like people, sometimes they make them look like animals, some of them are big and some of them are small.
462
In 1927, specific date, long time ago, almost 100 years ago, almost 100 years ago,
463
an artist shaped a very big rock, a very big rock.
464
That's this rock down here.
465
How big was the rock?
466
It was the size of a mountain.
467
So this section starts to talk about Mount Rushmore, but not specifically yet it's still very general, right?
468
Talking about the date that Mount Rushmore was started, and also talking about the rock, the size of the rock.
469
The size of the rock was really, really, really big.
470
Like I said before, it was the size of a mountain, right?
471
Really big rock.
472
It's a huge rock.
473
In America, there is a large stone mountain.
474
There is a large stone mountain in America.
475
That's this mountain down here.
476
At the top are four faces.
477
You can see one, two, three, four faces.
478
Who are those people?
479
Whose faces are they?
480
They are the faces of famous Americans.
481
We call this place Mount Rushmore.
482
Okay, so this place is called Mount Rushmore, and these are the faces that are carved into the mountain.
483
By the way, who are these people?
484
Who are the faces?
485
Well, we have, these are all presidents.
486
This is Washington.
487
Over here, we have Jefferson.
488
We have Roosevelt.
489
And who's this guy over alone.
490
That is Lincoln.
491
It's interesting that he's alone, right?
492
He had a very difficult time as a president and he was kind of unique among the presidents.
493
It's interesting that he's alone away from the other three.
494
But these are all past presidents of America, very famous presidents.
495
Not just famous people, right?
496
Not just famous Americans, famous American presidents.
497
Okay, call the place Mount Rushmore.
498
Many people go there every year.
499
Two million people go there every year.
500
How big are the faces?
501
The faces are 18 meters high.
502
Wow, that's really high isn't it?
503
18 meters high, very big.
504
You can see them from far away.
505
So if you're far away you can still see those faces.
506
Wow, Wow, that's really amazing.
507
Who is the artist that made Mount Rushmore?
508
His name was...
509
Whoa, that's a strange name, right?
510
I think it's a Danish name, right?
511
But how to pronounce that?
512
Gutsan Borglum.
513
Gutsan Borglum is how you would pronounce that name.
514
Gutzon Borglum is the artist that made Mount Rushmore.
515
He made Mount Rushmore.
516
It wasn't easy to make Mount Rushmore.
517
It took him 14 years to finish.
518
That was one of our vocabulary questions.
519
It took him 14 years to finish it.
520
That's a big rock.
521
It's a very big piece of art.
522
In fact, he needed 400 workers to make the faces.
523
400 people helped him to make the faces.
524
Wow.
525
He also wanted to make the bodies.
526
He wanted to make the bodies, but it was too expensive.
527
If you look back again at the picture, we just see the faces.
528
There's no bodies.
529
He wanted to make the bodies, but it was too expensive, so he couldn't do it.
530
He just made the faces.
531
Okay.
532
How did Borglum shape a rock this big?
533
How did he shape such a big rock, right?
534
These are people on the rock.
535
That's pretty crazy.
536
How did he do that?
537
Well, did he use a chisel?
538
That's a guess.
539
Did he use a chisel?
540
No, that would take too long.
541
So too long means it's too long, more time than they had.
542
It would have taken him too long to make these stone faces with a chisel.
543
So what did he use?
544
He used dynamite.
545
Ah, he used dynamite.
546
Dynamite, of course, is very dangerous, but it's very powerful, right?
547
It can blast the rock boom, the rock will be gone away.
548
Of course, they used dynamite.
549
They also did probably use some chisels, but they used dynamite to move the big pieces of rock out of the way.
550
Of course this was very dangerous.
551
Dynamite is dangerous.
552
Some people were hurt.
553
Luckily no one died.
554
So if something is dangerous, people have a chance to get hurt or there's a chance that people might die.
555
This is what happens in accidents too, if you think about it.
556
Sometimes in accidents people are hurt, they are injured, sometimes unfortunately people die, they are killed.
557
Thankfully, luckily, luckily, it's good luck that yes, some people were hurt because of the dynamite,
558
but luckily no one died.
559
That's good.
560
If you want to see Mount Rushmore, you should go soon.
561
Why?
562
There are cracks in the faces.
563
So in the faces, there are cracks that are beginning to appear in the faces.
564
Why?
565
Because of time and weather.
566
As you know, rocks in the mountain, they do change over a long time.
567
Cold weather will make them shrink a little bit.
568
Hot weather, they expand.
569
rain, water will get inside the rock and the rock will start to crack.
570
That's what's going on.
571
Soon their noses might fall off.
572
Oh my gosh, George Washington's nose will fall off.
573
Maybe, might, it's not for sure, might fall off, but because of the cracks in the rock.
574
Soon the noses of the sculptures might fall off.
575
So if you want to see these faces, you should go soon.
576
Let's talk about this story.
577
This story is about what?
578
This story is about A, a mountain made into art, B, an expensive bomb, C, a famous artist, or D, dynamite.
579
Now we have a couple of good choices here.
580
Our letter A, a mountain made into art.
581
When we're talking about this story, this whole story, everything that we talked about was about Mount Rushmore, right?
582
At the beginning, right, they were talking about some different types of artists who make art,
583
but that was kind of an introduction into the Mount Rushmore or Mount Rushmore that is a mountain made into art.
584
So everything that we talked about, you know, we talked about who made it, how many people were needed to make it, how did they make it,
585
they used dynamite, and also it's important to go see it soon because the noses might fall off.
586
All of those things are about a mountain made into art, Mount Rushmore.
587
So this story is about a mountain made into art, which is the same as saying this story is about Mount Rushmore.
588
That's the same thing.
589
We could say the same thing here and they mean the same.
590
This story is about Mount Rushmore.
591
What is Mount Rushmore?
592
Mount Rushmore is a mountain made into art.
593
So that's the right answer.
594
It's about an expensive bomb?
595
No, that's kind of silly.
596
We didn't talk about expensive bombs.
597
A famous artist?
598
That's a little tricky because you say, well, isn't this story about the artist Borglum who made Mount Rushmore?
599
Sure, a little bit of the story was about Borglum, but most of the story was about Mount Rushmore.
600
They mentioned Borglum just in answering the question, who made Mount Rushmore?
601
So that's not the correct answer.
602
And D, the story's about dynamite?
603
No, there was a very short little thing about dynamite that they said dynamite was used to make Mount Rushmore,
604
but the whole passage is not about dynamite.
605
It's about a mountain made into art.
606
Okay, so that's the right answer.
607
Okay, number two, Gutsun Borglum used dynamite to do what?
608
What did he use dynamite to do?
609
Did he use it to crack the mountain?
610
He wanted to make cracks in the mountain?
611
No, he didn't want to make cracks in the mountain.
612
B, he wanted to shape the mountain?
613
What do artists do with rock, right?
614
They shape rock.
615
So that's the right answer.
616
Gutsun Borglum used dynamite to shape the mountain.
617
He wanted to make the mountain into a shape, a certain shape, and hammer and chisel would have taken too long,
618
so he used dynamite.
619
He used dynamite to shape the mountain.
620
He didn't use it to finish the mountain, if you think about that, to finish the mountain.
621
Dynamite is not a very exact tool, right?
622
It blows up a lot of rock.
623
He probably used dynamite at the beginning and then used a chisel later to make the fine details.
624
So I wouldn't say he used it to finish the mountain.
625
He used dynamite to face the mountain?
626
They're just playing with words there.
627
Face the mountain is look at something, turn your body towards the mountain.
628
So I'm over here, I'm going to use dynamite, boom!
629
Okay, now I'm facing the mountain.
630
That's crazy and dangerous, so that's very silly.
631
So we don't do that, right?
632
Okay, so Gutzon Borglum used dynamite to shape the mountain.
633
That is the correct answer.
634
Okay, number three.
635
It was too expensive to do what?
636
Remember what Gutzon Borglum wanted to do?
637
Remember I switched back between the pictures?
638
Right now we can see the faces, but Gutzon Borglum wanted to do what?
639
He wanted to finish the mountain.
640
B, pay Gutzon Borglum.
641
C, use a chisel.
642
D, make bodies for the faces.
643
What did we talk about in that section?
644
We talked about making bodies for the faces.
645
D is the answer.
646
It was too expensive to complete the art.
647
He made the faces, but it was too expensive to make the bodies.
648
Not to finish the mountain.
649
Not to pay Gutz and Borglum.
650
The passage did not say that and it was too expensive to use a chisel, the passage didn't say that.
651
The passage specifically said it was too expensive for Borglum to make bodies for the faces.
652
The passage said he wanted to make the bodies, but it was too expensive, so he could not.
653
Okay, number four, of course, it was too expensive to make bodies for the faces.
654
Okay, now number four.
655
Four, you can see the faces of Mount Rushmore.
656
Remember, the faces of Mount Rushmore are really big, 18 meters high.
657
Wow, that's really big.
658
So you can see the faces from anywhere, right?
659
If you go outside your house right now, look towards America, you can see the faces.
660
No, that's crazy.
661
Not from anywhere.
662
Anywhere? From Korea? From India? From Indonesia?
663
No. That's too much, right?
664
That's too much.
665
Not from anywhere.
666
From far away?
667
That's what the passage said.
668
From far away.
669
From maybe a few kilometers away you can see the faces.
670
Well that's far away.
671
That's the answer.
672
That's what the passage said. On many cars?
673
You can see the faces of Mount Rushmore on many cars?
674
The passage didn't say anything about that.
675
You can see the faces inside the mountain?
676
No. No, the pictures we looked at were on the outside of the mountain.
677
They didn't carve the faces in a cave in the mountain, right?
678
It's on the outside of the mountain.
679
So of course the right answer is B.
680
You can see the faces of Mount Rushmore from far away because they're very high.
681
Okay, let's take a look at the review here.
682
What can we say about Mount Rushmore?
683
This is a big picture.
684
This is a really cool picture of the mountain.
685
And we can see this very interesting here, we got the four faces here, right?
686
And of course you can see it looks like he wanted to start making the body, but he didn't finish it.
687
Remember, it was too expensive.
688
So they are the faces of famous Americans, right?
689
I talked about these.
690
These are the pictures of faces of famous presidents, former presidents of America, right?
691
Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln.
692
Gutsen Borglum is the artist that made Mount Rushmore.
693
So the artist who made this, his name is Gutsen Borglum.
694
The faces are 18 meters high.
695
So from here, from the chin to the top, 18 meters high on average.
696
Maybe not all of them are the same, but they're all about 18 meters high.
697
It's really high.
698
And it took him 14 years to finish.
699
This is a huge art project, isn't it?
700
It took a long time to make them.
701
It took him 14 years, even with 400 workers, to finish this art project.
702
It's very famous, as we can see on the coins and on the stamps in America.
703
That's kind of an interesting place.
704
If you ever have a chance, if you're in America and you're near South Dakota, that's where it is by the way, in the state of South Dakota, take a look.
705
Go on over and take a look at Mount Rushmore.
706
It's very impressive.
707
And remember, you got to go soon because the noses might fall off someday.
708
Okay?
709
So make sure you get over there.
710
Take care everybody.
711
We'll see you next time.

Why This Video Is Great for English Speaking Practice
This video is a fantastic tool for english speaking practice because it combines simple, conversational language with vivid descriptions. The speaker, Brian Stuart, uses a calm, clear tone that’s easy to follow, making it ideal for shadow speech—a technique where you repeat phrases immediately after hearing them. The topic of Mount Rushmore is engaging, with relatable details like personal memories and everyday objects (coins, stamps), which help learners connect new vocabulary to real-life contexts. This mix of storytelling and factual information keeps practice dynamic, ensuring you stay motivated while building fluency.
Breaking Down Natural Speech Patterns
Let’s look at a few lines from the video to see why they sound natural. First, "Hey kids, how are you today? Welcome back to Reading for Vocabulary." This greeting is casual and direct, using contractions and a friendly tone—common in spoken English. Next, "When I was a little boy, I went to this park. I can still remember standing there." The short, connected sentences mimic how people talk in real life, avoiding complex structures. Finally, "It was a nice sunny day. I think it was spring, so it wasn't too hot, not too cold." Here, the speaker uses "so" to link ideas, a natural way to explain cause and effect. These examples show that natural speech relies on simplicity, flow, and relatable details—key to improving your own pronunciation and fluency.
A Simple Shadow Speech Routine for This Lesson
To practice with this video, try a shadow speak loop: 1) Watch a 10-second clip and listen carefully to the rhythm and intonation. 2) Pause, then repeat the clip out loud, matching the speaker’s speed and stress. 3) Record yourself and compare it to the original—note where your pronunciation differs (e.g., "Mount Rushmore" or "millions of people"). 4) Repeat until your version sounds similar. This routine helps train your mouth to form English sounds correctly and builds muscle memory for natural speech patterns. For extra practice, focus on phrases with linked words, like "a nice sunny day" or "many millions of people," to improve your fluency. Over time, this shadowspeaks method will make your English sound more confident and native-like.
Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
