1
smile and learn have you ever heard of global warming did you know
2
that over the past decades sea level has risen all these
3
news are related to climate change to understand better what climate
4
change is we should define what climate is the climate is the combination of atmospheric conditions
5
that occur in place for a prolonged period of time.
6
Over the past centuries, the climate everywhere around the Earth has changed,
7
altering the usual conditions of a place regarding precipitation and temperature.
8
This way, water shortage, desertification, the disappearance of lakes, or even sea level rise are becoming more and more common.
9
In addition, the number of natural disasters like droughts, floods, or huge storms has increased.
10
All these situations are a consequence of global warming, meaning the increase in temperature happening on the planet,
11
owing mainly to human activity.
12
But why has the planet's temperature risen?
13
The Earth is surrounded by the atmosphere, a thin layer of gas which allows part of the solar radiation to penetrate. For
14
that, this layer consists of gases called greenhouse effect gases whose mission is to absorb part of the energy received
15
and maintain the planet's temperature.
16
One of the main greenhouse effect gases is CO2.
17
With the Industrial Revolution, CO2 emissions started to increase owing to the use of fossil fuels like coal or petrol.
18
Over the past years, the presence of gases like CO2 in the atmosphere increased,
19
and for this reason, its capacity to retain solar radiation has been enhanced, resulting in an increase of the average temperature of the planet.
20
Climate change affects every country in the world, causing a negative impact on their economy, people's lives, and all living beings.
21
Here are some facts.
22
Over the past 150 years, the average global temperature increased almost 2 degrees Fahrenheit.
23
Would you say it's not much?
24
If the Earth's temperature keeps rising, thousands of animal and plant species may disappear forever.
25
Oceans got warmer and for this reason, the amounts of ice have decreased, causing sea levels to rise.
26
Did you know that between 1901 and 2010, the sea level has risen 7 .5 inches?
27
This may cause some places to disappear beneath the water's surface.
28
Worst consequences are predicted in the future if we don't take measures urgently.
29
Currently, there are some viable solutions at hand.
30
Would you like to learn about them?
31
It is necessary to turn to renewable energies to reduce CO2 emissions.
32
Cars are responsible for 10 % of CO2 emissions.
33
Use public transport, bicycle or walk.
34
Reduce your plastic use.
35
Use less plastic.
36
Reducing plastic involves high CO2 emissions in the atmosphere.
37
Plant a tree taking into account the ecological characteristics of your area.
38
Did you know that five trees can absorb up to one metric ton of CO2 during their lifecycle?
39
Always recycle!
40
An interesting fact is that we would need less energy to make paper from old newspapers than
41
if we made it using directly the wood from trees.
42
turn off the lights whenever they are not needed
43
if we save electricity we also reduce the energy waste required
44
to produce it remember it's in your hands to look after the planet want to join us in in our mission?

Pronúncia para ficar de olho

  • Os sons de “th”: thin /ˈθɪn/, beneath /bɪˈniːθ/
  • Os sons de “sh” e “zh”: emission /ɪˈmɪʃ.ən/, radiation /ˌɹeɪ.diˈeɪ.ʃən/, shortage /ˈʃɔː(ɹ)tɪd͡ʒ/, precipitation /pɹɪˌsɪpɪˈteɪʃn̩/, desertification /dɪˌzɝ.tɪ.fɪˈkeɪ.ʃən/
  • Palavras longas — acerte a sílaba tônica: radiation /ˌɹeɪ.diˈeɪ.ʃən/, electricity /ɪˌlɛkˈtɹɪsɪti/, characteristic /ˌkæɹ(ə)ktəˈɹɪstɪk/, atmospheric /ˌætməsˈfɛɹɪk/, ecological /ˌiːkəˈlɒd͡ʒɪkl̩/

Sons difíceis para falantes de português:

  • Consoante final — sem acrescentar um “i” depois: absorb /æbˈsɔɹb/, flood /flʌd/, predict /pɹɪˈdɪkt/, characteristic /ˌkæɹ(ə)ktəˈɹɪstɪk/, consist /kənˈsɪst/
  • /l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: bicycle /ˈbaɪsɪk(ə)l/, viable /ˈvaɪəbəl/, petrol /ˈpɛt.ɹəl/, recycle /ɹəˈsaɪkəl/
  • /h/ — um sopro suave, diferente do “r”: greenhouse /ˈɡɹːnˌ(h)aʊs/, enhance /ɪnˈhæns/

Como praticar com este vídeo

  1. Ouça o vídeo inteiro uma vez sem falar e anote as palavras que você não conhece.
  2. Faça shadowing frase por frase na velocidade normal, repetindo cada uma até o seu ritmo ficar igual ao do falante.
  3. Grave a sua voz e compare com o original, prestando atenção a palavras como emission, atmosphere, layer.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
