6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Neil.
4
And I'm Pippa.
5
In this episode we're discussing poetry.
6
For some, poetry is what you study at school,
7
then forget, while for others it becomes an important part of their life.
8
Have you ever read or written any poetry, Neil?
9
Well, I haven't written any poetry since I was at school.
10
I would love to read more poetry,
11
but I just don't get it really.
12
I find it difficult to understand.
13
A good place to hear poetry is an open mic night,
14
a live event where anyone is allowed to stand up on stage to sing or recite poems.
15
Here, BBC reporter Maria recites her open mic poem about a
16
friend who suffered a stroke for BBC World Service programme People Fixing the World.
17
This first poem, I wrote it about a friend who I love dearly.
18
It's called Stroke.
19
You're awake and trying to grasp who it is.
20
I pull my mask past my lips and you study my face.
21
Eyes wide.
22
I've enough stuff to tell you,
23
I say, sinking into a chair.
24
I stare.
25
Sometimes if you go to an open mic night,
26
people can really touch your soul with what they're saying.
27
And even if you're having a bad day,
28
life can feel so much better after going to an open mic night.
29
For Maria, poetry has the power to heal emotions and touch your soul,
30
meaning to affect you deeply on an emotional or spiritual level.
31
In this episode, we'll hear more about the positive power of poetry and,
32
as usual, we'll learn some useful new words and phrases.
33
And remember, you'll find all the vocabulary,
34
plus a quiz and worksheet, on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
35
But first, I have a question for you, Pippa.
36
Just now, you used the phrase,
37
positive power of poetry, repeating the same initial p sound across a string of words.
38
Doing this is a common feature of poetry, but what's it called?
39
Is it a assonance, b alliteration, or c simile?
40
Hmm, finally my English degree might come in handy,
41
and I'm going to say b alliteration.
42
Well, we'll find out at the end,
43
and I hope you don't get embarrassed, Pippa.
44
Now, poetry helped Maria overcome sadness,
45
but could its power to heal work in other areas too?
46
Hot Poets is a group helping people understand the science behind global issues like climate change.
47
They go to meetings, like the UN Climate Conference,
48
and listen to scientific papers being presented.
49
Then they write a poem about it all,
50
and perform that back to the audience.
51
Here's hot poet Liv Talk reciting her poem to BBC World Service's People Fixing the World.
52
It starts with an adventure at sea.
53
A big blue murder mystery where the killer is not the whale,
54
but an epic humanity fail of overfishing and polluting at unimaginable scale.
55
Liv's poem is based on a study into biodiversity.
56
It's a complex research project that many find hard to understand.
57
Here, Liv discusses this with Myra Anubi for BBC World Service programme People Fixing the World.
58
And Liv, I mean, so what you've identified is that there is an issue around the communication of science.
59
Yes, a lot of this jargon is really hard to understand
60
or a lot of the science is quite impenetrable to normal people,
61
so it's instantly a turn off.
62
Science uses lots of jargon,
63
specialist or technical vocabulary, which is quite different from everyday language.
64
For example, a scientist might use the word precipitation,
65
while in everyday English we would say rain.
66
Jargon can make scientific papers impenetrable,
67
an adjective meaning impossible to understand and worse,
68
it makes science a turn-off,
69
something that people dislike or find uninteresting.
70
Hot poets try to change all of that by making complex environmental ideas easy to understand through poetry.
71
And it works, says Cat Bruce,
72
the environmental scientist whose study Liv based her poem on,
73
talking here with Myra Anubi for BBC World Service's People Fixing the World.
74
What did it mean for you,
75
Cat, hearing the poem, having actually experienced everything It still gives me goosebumps when I hear it now.
76
I think it's everything that I wish I could say and put into words myself.
77
I feel like Liv just has done that.
78
Liv's poem gave Kat goosebumps,
79
meaning she was so emotionally affected that the hairs on her skin stood up, making tiny bumps.
80
Maybe poetry can't fix everything,
81
but for Kat it's making an impact for good.
82
Now, what was the answer to your question, Neil?
83
Well, you seemed very clear,
84
Pippa, that when you use a string of words beginning with the same sound, it's called alliteration.
85
And you're absolutely right.
86
Phew.
87
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learnt,
88
starting with open mic night,
89
a live event where anyone is allowed to perform poems or music on stage.
90
If something touches your soul,
91
it affects you deeply on an emotional or spiritual level.
92
Jargon means special words and phrases that are used in a particular profession or subject.
93
The adjective impenetrable means impossible to understand.
94
A turn-off is something that people dislike or find uninteresting.
95
And finally, if you get goosebumps,
96
the hairs on your skin stand up because you're cold,
97
emotionally affected or afraid.
98
Once again, our six minutes are up,
99
but remember you'll find lots more episodes as well as a quiz and worksheet for this one on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
100
See you again soon, but for now it's goodbye!
101
Goodbye!

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?

Praticar a fala usando vídeos que exploram temas como a poesia é uma excelente maneira de expandir seu vocabulário e melhorar a pronúncia em inglês. Ao ouvir a naturalidade com que os apresentadores discutem a importância da poesia, você pode observar diferentes formas de expressar emoções e narrar histórias. Isso não só ajuda a desenvolver seus próprios argumentos, mas também proporciona um contexto rico para as expressões que são comumente usadas em conversas informais e em ambientes mais criativos, como noites de microfone aberto. Ao se envolver ativamente no shadowing (imitação) deste conteúdo, você pode internalizar essas estruturas e aprimorar sua fluência.

Gramática & Expressões em Contexto

O vídeo apresenta várias estruturas gramaticais e expressões que são fundamentais para a comunicação eficaz em inglês. Aqui estão algumas delas:

  • Frases descritivas: Como "poetry has the power to heal emotions", que evidencia a importância da poesia para o bem-estar emocional.
  • Uso de perguntas: "Have you ever read or written any poetry?" Essa forma de questionamento estimula a conversa e engajamento.
  • Expressões idiomáticas: A expressão "touch your soul" é um exemplo de como a poesia pode impactar emocionalmente o ouvinte.
  • Repetição e aliteração: O termo "positive power of poetry" destaca a aliteração, uma técnica poética que também pode ser aplicada na conversa para criar um efeito sonoro interessante.

Armadilhas Comuns de Pronúncia

Ao assistir ao vídeo, você pode notar algumas palavras e frases que podem ser desafiadoras na pronúncia. Focar na dicção e nos acentos, especialmente em palavras como "poetry" e "microphone", pode ajudar a evitar mal-entendidos. Algumas dicas incluem:

  • A palavra “poetry” exige atenção, já que o som das sílabas pode ser confundido.
  • Pratique “microphone” em diferentes contextos, prestando atenção à ênfase na segunda sílaba.
  • Utilize o shadowspeak para repetir frases do vídeo, facilitando a melhoria da sua pronúncia em inglês através da prática constante.

Integrar essas práticas ao seu aprendizado não apenas irá enriquecer seu vocabulário, mas também fortalecerá sua compreensão auditiva e fluência ao falar em inglês. Explore a poesia e outras formas de arte para desenvolver um estilo de comunicação mais expressivo e autêntico!

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.
