Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
I'm Georgie.
3
And I'm Phil.
4
Did you have any breakfast today, Georgie?
5
Or did you skip it?
6
I did have some breakfast.
7
On the way to the office I got myself a pastry and a coffee.
8
What about you?
9
I had a big bowl of porridge but it was at 6 o'clock this morning so I'm hungry again now.
10
And you might soon be hungry as well,
11
because we're going to talk about breakfast.
12
How important is it?
13
Let's start by hearing from Professor Alexandra Johnston,
14
a nutrition scientist who spoke to Ruth Alexander,
15
host of BBC World Service programme The Food Chain.
16
I am supporting the meme,
17
breakfast like a king and dine like a pauper.
18
For you then, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
19
I agree.
20
So, it's really important, particularly for people who are trying to maintain a healthy
21
weight and people who are trying to lose weight.
22
Alexandra says that you should breakfast like a king and dine like a pauper.
23
Pauper is an old-fashioned word for a very poor person.
24
The expression means have a big breakfast and a small dinner.
25
We're going to find out some of the reasons that Alexandra and other experts recommend doing this.
26
And as usual, we'll learn some useful new words and phrases.
27
And remember, you'll find all the vocabulary and a quiz on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
28
OK, but first I have a question for you, Phil.
29
According to a recent survey,
30
which of the following is the most popular breakfast in the UK?
31
Is it a eggs, b toast or c cereal?
32
Well, I think people like to keep it simple,
33
also I'm going to say toast.
34
OK, well, we'll find out the answer later in the programme.
35
Let's hear some reasons for why we should breakfast like a king or queen.
36
Courtney Peterson, who researches eating behaviours,
37
explains how the time of day affects how our bodies process food on BBC World's service programme The Food Chain.
38
And so if you can eat a large breakfast in the morning
39
and or I would even say a large lunch in the morning your body's going to be better at metabolizing
40
that food and what
41
that means is your body's going to actually your blood sugar
42
levels won't spike as high you'll you might burn slightly more
43
fat you might burn slightly more calories from eating earlier in the day
44
whereas if you had
45
if you eat most of your food later in the day your metabolism is actually slower later in the day
46
so for instance
47
if you ate the same i don't know bowl of ice
48
cream in the morning the afternoon in the evening your blood
49
sugar levels will spike significantly higher in the the afternoon and the evening.
50
We heard the noun metabolism.
51
This is a word that refers to the chemical processes in your body,
52
and we most often use it to talk about those that convert food into energy.
53
And we also heard the verb form, metabolise.
54
Courtney talked about blood sugar levels spiking.
55
A spike is a sharp, pointed shape.
56
If you see it on a line graph,
57
it means that something has increased very rapidly.
58
We often use the noun spike to mean a sudden increase in a value that is being measured.
59
The verb spike means to suddenly increase.
60
We've heard that eating earlier in the day can be healthier for us.
61
Now, people often don't eat breakfast,
62
sometimes because they don't have time,
63
sometimes because they're trying to save money.
64
Let's hear again from Professor Alexandra Johnston talking to BBC World Service's The Food Chain.
65
Now, breakfast skipping is interesting because my own work would tend to suggest,
66
and that sort of observational large-scale epidemiological studies would also support this,
67
that people who
68
have a regular breakfast are actually leaner
69
and my own work would tend to suggest
70
that having your largest meal of the day in the morning period gives you a much better appetite control
71
which then means it's much easier control food intake later in the day.
72
Alexandra starts by mentioning breakfast skipping.
73
If you skip something, then you don't do it.
74
Bad students might skip lessons,
75
they don't go to them.
76
If you skip a meal,
77
it means that you don't eat it.
78
We also heard that people who have a regular breakfast are leaner.
79
If someone is lean, then they're not fat.
80
And one of the reasons given why people might be leaner is that they have better appetite control.
81
Appetite control is where your brain decides how much you should eat.
82
Thanks, Georgie.
83
Now, I think it's time that we heard the answer to your question.
84
Yes, it is.
85
OK, I asked, According to a recent survey,
86
what is the most popular breakfast in the UK?
87
And I said toast.
88
Which was the most popular in London,
89
but the most popular in the country as a whole was cereal.
90
And that's according to a survey by a cereal manufacturer.
91
So I'm afraid you got it wrong.
92
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned starting with pauper,
93
which is an old-fashioned word for a very poor person.
94
When we're talking about data,
95
it spikes when it increases suddenly.
96
Metabolism refers to the chemical processes inside your body,
97
especially those which process food.
98
If you skip something, you miss it.
99
You don't do it.
100
If someone is lean, then they are not fat.
101
And finally, appetite control is how your brain decides how much you should eat.
102
Once again, our six minutes are up,
103
but why not head over to our website,
104
bbclearningenglish.com, to try the quiz and worksheet for this episode.
105
See you again soon.
106
Goodbye.
107
Bye.

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.
