1
Many more families are going to lose loved ones before their time.
2
It might be two weeks time,
3
it might be four months time,
4
it might be 12 months time, who knows?
5
How on earth did it come to this?
6
The coronavirus pandemic started in China,
7
spread to Europe and had reached the UK by the end of January.
8
First off, the government's strategy was to try to contain the virus.
9
It set up quarantine centres for people coming back from mainland China.
10
It traced the contacts of infected people and advised all of us to wash our hands.
11
On 6 February, another case of coronavirus was identified.
12
And by the end of February,
13
the total number of confirmed cases in the UK had reached 23.
14
The virus had begun to spread within the country.
15
It was a bit unusual to see that Hazelmere could be the first place that it's been transmitted without an obvious cause.
16
Contain, delay, research, mitigate.
17
Wash your hands with soap and hot water for the length of time it takes to sing Happy Birthday twice.
18
Whatever extra resources our NHS needs to cope with coronavirus, it will get.
19
Many more families are going to lose loved ones before their time.
20
We need people to start working from home where they possibly can.
21
And you should avoid pubs,
22
clubs, theatres and other such social venues.
23
Just six days after the Chancellor pledged £12 billion to fund the coronavirus response,
24
he was back, this time with £350 billion.
25
This national effort will be underpinned by government interventions in the economy on a scale unimaginable only a few weeks ago.
26
If we can get this down to numbers 20,000 and below,
27
that's a good outcome.
28
This was really the first time that a government figure had publicly come out
29
and put a number on what the UK could expect.
30
And while every single death is an individual tragedy and all the pain that causes,
31
that's why this particular number of 20,000 has become such a marker.
32
And it was the first indication,
33
really, of what was to come.
34
We are collectively telling, telling cafes,
35
pubs, bars and restaurants to close.
36
It might be two weeks time,
37
it might be four months time,
38
it might be twelve months time, who knows, nobody knows.
39
We're paying people's wages up to 80% so someone can be furloughed rather than laid off to protect their jobs.
40
This is when we need the government the most.
41
I'm sorry.
42
I urge you, at this moment of national emergency,
43
to stay at home, protect our NHS and save lives.
44
I've developed mild symptoms of the coronavirus.
45
I am now setting the goal of 100,000 tests per day by the end of this month.
46
The 100,000 number itself wasn't picked by scientists,
47
it was a political target set by the health secretary to try to kickstart a big expansion in testing,
48
and that became important later.
49
He remains stable overnight.
50
He's receiving standard oxygen treatment and breathing without any assistance.
51
Of those who've contracted the virus, 10,612 have tragically died.
52
It's unbelievable that people would be so kind.
53
20,319 have died.
54
The number of deaths in hospitals were being recorded,
55
but there were serious concerns about what was happening in care homes.
56
Political pressure increased to try and record how many people were dying there too.
57
We have recorded an additional 3,811 deaths in total.
58
I can confirm today that for the first time we are past the peak of this disease.
59
I can announce that we have met our goal.
60
The number of tests yesterday,
61
on the last day of April, was 122,347.
62
There is some controversy about those figures though,
63
and that's because 40,000 of those tests were home testing kits that were sent out but hadn't yet been completed and returned,
64
and the number of tests did fall in the following days.
65
But it did unquestionably mark a big expansion in the UK's ability to test.
66
And pretty much everyone agrees that that is going to be crucial in moving the country out of lockdown measures.
67
By the 6th of May,
68
more than 30,000 people had died with coronavirus in the UK.
69
And while we're past the peak,
70
that number is still going up.
71
That's now the highest number in Europe.
72
It's the second highest in the world.
73
That's not success or apparent success.
74
So can the Prime Minister tell us how on earth did it come to this?
75
What I can tell him is that at every stage as we took the decisions that we did,
76
we were governed by one overriding principle and aim,
77
and that was to save lives and to protect our NHS.
78
One issue that has kept coming up is the supply of personal protective equipment to frontline workers.
79
Now the government says it's put more than a billion bits of kit into the system,
80
and there is a global supply issue.
81
But doctors, nurses and care workers say there still isn't enough.
82
PPE is going to be vital as lockdown restrictions ease.

Советы по практике

Чтобы максимально эффективно использовать это видео для обучения, попробуйте следовать методике shadowing английского. Слушайте каждую фразу и повторяйте её за диктором в реальном времени. Обратите внимание на мелодику и ритм речи: это поможет вам улучшить произношение английского. Поскольку видео записано в достаточно уверенном и объяснительном тоне, вы можете замедлить его, если это необходимо, чтобы уловить каждое слово. Используйте паузы, чтобы обеспечить время для размышлений и повторения.

Также рекомендуется повторять ключевые фразы несколько раз. Таким образом, вы будете не только изучать новые слова, но и практиковать shadow speech, что поможет вам лучше запомнить их и применять в живом общении. Не забывайте о важности эмоций в речи, постарайтесь передать те чувства, которые вы слышите, чтобы сделать вашу практику разговорного английского более выразительной.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
