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 Beth.
5
Do you enjoy eating noodles, Beth?
6
I love noodles, yes.
7
I think my favourite are udon, the big thick ones.
8
Mmm, they're so good.
9
Well, some people buy them dried in a packet,
10
others make them fresh from wheat or rice,
11
but there is little doubt that noodles are popular around the world.
12
From their origins, probably somewhere in China,
13
noodle recipes were spread by traders on the ancient Silk Road.
14
At each destination along the road,
15
people gave noodles a twist,
16
adding different flavours and ingredients to create a new dish.
17
In this programme, we'll visit the United States and Japan,
18
two countries which have taken noodles and created exciting new varieties.
19
As usual, we'll learn some useful new vocabulary.
20
And remember, you can read along with the transcript of this programme,
21
available now on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
22
But first, Neil, I have a question for you.
23
As well as different shapes and ingredients,
24
noodles come in many different flavours.
25
So which region of China is famous for its spicy flavours? Is it...
26
A. Shanghai B.
27
Sichuan or C.
28
Guangzhou Well, I think actually,
29
Beth, I know the answer to this.
30
I've been lucky enough to have been to this place.
31
I think it's B.
32
Sichuan.
33
OK, well you sound confident.
34
I will reveal the answer later in the programme.
35
BBC World Service programme The Food Chain investigated how noodles spread from Asia through Europe to America.
36
They uncovered a surprising story that pasta comes from noodles brought back to Italy by Marco Polo in the 13th century.
37
Zhenlin Liu, author of the book On the Noodle Road,
38
doesn't believe this story.
39
So noodles were very exotic in the 1920s and 30s in the United States.
40
And there was a new pasta association in America that wanted to promote the manufacturing of dried pasta.
41
And so they came up with a story about how Marco Polo went to China
42
and found the noodle there and brought it all the way to Italy.
43
In the 1920s, noodles were popular because they were exotic,
44
meaning foreign, unusual and exciting.
45
At that time, pasta companies were promoting a new invention – dried pasta.
46
So they came up with a story about Marco Polo to sell more pasta.
47
If you come up with something,
48
you suggest or think up an idea.
49
And it worked!
50
Sales of pasta jumped as a result.
51
Now our second destination, Japan,
52
also has a history of eating noodles.
53
One of the most famous Japanese noodle dishes is ramen.
54
And Frank Striegel, a blogger living in Tokyo, knows all about it.
55
He eats over 300 bowls of ramen a year.
56
He explained to BBC World Service's The Food Chain how Chinese immigrants to Japan in the late 1800s influenced this Japanese dish.
57
And at one point or another,
58
different chefs decided to localize these dishes.
59
They said, we love these Chinese noodle dishes,
60
however, why don't we tweak them?
61
Why don't we make them a little bit more Japanese?
62
Frank says that at one point or another,
63
chefs started to make noodle dishes more Japanese.
64
Here, the phrase, at one point or another,
65
means at some unspecified time in the past.
66
They did this by tweaking Chinese noodles.
67
In other words, by changing them slightly to make them better.
68
Different, or in this case, more Japanese.
69
By making these tweaks, adding new toppings and slices of beef or chicken,
70
Japanese chefs created the noodle dish we know today as ramen.
71
Here's Frank Striegel again, talking with BBC World Service's The Food Chain.
72
And what I find fascinating about ramen,
73
compared to perhaps other wonderful noodle dishes around the world,
74
is that ramen continues to evolve.
75
Unlike other Japanese foods, it's okay to push the boundaries.
76
Frank thinks that Japanese ramen continues to evolve,
77
to develop and change gradually in response to new developments and ideas.
78
Unlike other traditional foods such as sushi,
79
modern versions of ramen push the boundaries.
80
If you push the boundaries,
81
you act in a way which challenges normal, acceptable behaviour.
82
Yes, noodles have changed so much since ancient times
83
that today you can buy them dried in a packet and simply add hot water.
84
But the flavours and the noodles themselves maintain a link to the past.
85
Now speaking of flavours, what was the answer to your question, Beth?
86
Well, I asked you which region of China is famous for its spicy flavours.
87
You were very confident with saying Sichuan and that is the correct answer.
88
Sichuan is a place that is famous for spicy food such as the Sichuan pepper and Sichuan hot pot.
89
OK, it's time to recap the vocabulary we've learnt.
90
If you give something a twist,
91
you change it in some small way to create something new and exciting.
92
The adjective exotic means unusual and exciting because of coming from far away.
93
The phrase, at one point or another,
94
means at some unspecified time in the past.
95
If you tweak something, you alter it slightly in order to improve it.
96
Something which evolves, develops and changes gradually.
97
And finally, the idiom, to push the boundaries,
98
means to do things which challenge normal, acceptable behaviour.
99
Once again, our six minutes are up.
100

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?

A prática de conversação em inglês é essencial para quem deseja se tornar fluente e confiante na língua. Este vídeo do 6 Minute English aborda um tema muito interessante: noodles (macarrão), que é um assunto que ressoa com muitas culturas ao redor do mundo. Ao assistir e praticar com este vídeo, você não só vai expandir seu vocabulário, mas também vai adquirir a habilidade de discutir tópicos culinários, algo que é muito comum em conversas cotidianas. Além disso, você pode aprimorar sua capacidade de fazer perguntas e dar respostas, o que é fundamental para uma prática eficaz de conversação em inglês.

Gramática e Expressões em Contexto

Neste vídeo, existem várias estruturas gramaticais e expressões que são úteis para conversação. Aqui estão algumas que você deve prestar atenção:

  • "Do you enjoy eating noodles?" - Uma estrutura simples de pergunta que pode ser usada para iniciar uma conversa sobre preferências.
  • "Some people buy them dried in a packet." - O uso do presente simples para descrever hábitos e ações comuns.
  • "I think my favourite are udon." - A estrutura "I think" é excelente para expressar opiniões pessoais.
  • "There is little doubt that noodles are popular around the world." - Uma boa maneira de expressar certeza e generalizações.

À medida que você pratica essas estruturas, tentativas de resposta e interação se tornam mais naturais. Aproveite para aprender inglês com youtube e reforçar suas habilidades!

Armadilhas Comuns de Pronúncia

Quando se trata de melhorar a pronúncia em inglês, alguns termos e sotaques podem ser desafiadores. Veja alguns pontos que você deve observar:

  • Noodles - A pronúncia pode ser um pouco difícil; tenha cuidado com o som da letra "oo" que se assemelha a 'u' em português.
  • Exotic - A ênfase na segunda sílaba pode ser confusa; pratique para que saia natural.
  • Sichuan - Este nome de região chinesa tem uma pronúncia que pode ser estranha para falantes de português. Treine para se acostumar com a sonoridade.

Imagine-se conversando com confiança sobre culinária enquanto shadow speaks para melhorar sua habilidade oral. Usar vídeos como este é uma ótima maneira de expor-se a diferentes sotaques e modos de expressão, o que tornará seu aprendizado mais enriquecedor.

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.
