Hello everybody!
2
Welcome back to Reading for Vocabulary.
3
I'm Brian Stewart.
4
We're continuing on our subject, our unit, caring for animals.
5
Our lesson eight is living with animals.
6
Do you live with an animal?
7
Do you have a pet?
8
Probably if you have a pet, you're living with an animal.
9
So So we're going to focus on how humans live with animals.
10
How do humans live with animals?
11
But we'll not just look at pets.
12
In the reading passage, they'll also mention some other ways
13
that human beings have lived with animals a long time ago and through history, but just briefly.
14
But first of course, before we do any reading, we should study some vocabulary first.
15
Are you ready?
16
Let's begin with our first word.
17
Whoa, these guys look really cool, don't they?
18
Something we watch or do for fun.
19
Something that we watch or that we do for fun.
20
What could that be?
21
Well, we're looking for entertainment.
22
What a long word.
23
En -ter -tain -ment.
24
So, en -ter -tain -ment.
25
En -ter -tain -ment.
26
Four syllables.
27
En -ter -tain -ment.
28
Long word, right?
29
Entertainment is something we watch.
30
So if you watch a TV show, it could be a drama.
31
It could be a music show.
32
It could be a documentary, something about history.
33
But it's entertaining.
34
That's entertainment.
35
Something we do for fun.
36
We play a video game.
37
We go play soccer.
38
That's also a form of entertainment.
39
Okay?
40
So entertainment has many different forms, or there's many types of entertainment.
41
Okay, next word.
42
A very sad situation.
43
It looks like a person has died, a police funeral, a police officer has died.
44
The state of being dead, we say death.
45
Death.
46
There is a death in the family is a common expression.
47
There was a death.
48
Death is usually used as a noun.
49
There was a death in the family.
50
It means somebody in the family died grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, hopefully not child, right?
51
But there was a death in the family.
52
There was a death of a police officer and this is the funeral.
53
A funeral is to mark the death of a person, a funeral.
54
Next one, to keep something working.
55
So this person here is a mechanic, it's his job to make sure that this car keeps on working.
56
He's job is to maintain.
57
Maintain.
58
Right?
59
A -I, A -I, same sound.
60
Maintain.
61
Maintain the vehicle.
62
Make sure that it keeps working.
63
And not just that it keeps working, but it keeps working well.
64
And that is the job of a mechanic. But not just mechanics.
65
Everybody should work to keep something working well.
66
You should keep your body working well.
67
Get enough sleep, right?
68
Eat the proper foods.
69
Maintain your health.
70
Okay?
71
So it's not just mechanics who maintain things.
72
Everybody maintains things.
73
We want to keep the things we use working well.
74
We should maintain our bodies we should maintain the things that we use to make sure they keep working.
75
Don't neglect, don't ignore the things that you have.
76
Maintain them, make sure they keep working well.
77
Number four, oh this is very sad, she feels pain.
78
She is suffering.
79
Okay, to suffer.
80
To suffer, it's a verb, right?
81
Usually we say if we see her we don't say she is suffer we say she is suffering ing.
82
She is suffering.
83
He looks like he is suffering okay?
84
But you can also of course just use suffer.
85
She suffers from right?
86
She suffers from the flu.
87
She suffers from a breakup.
88
Her boyfriend broke up with her so she suffers from that okay?
89
But usually we say she is suffering we don't say why.
90
Okay, okay.
91
Number five, to teach new information.
92
To teach new information is to educate somebody.
93
Right now you are being educated.
94
I'm teaching you about English and we're going over vocabulary.
95
So right now I am educating you.
96
When you go to school you are being educated by your teachers and your textbooks.
97
When you go to the library and you read a book, you're being educated.
98
It's very important to continue to be educated throughout our lives, even after you finish school.
99
Read books that you're interested in and subjects that you're interested in.
100
Watch documentaries on television or watch movies about history.
101
And always don't give up being educated, right?
102
Education is very important.
103
Six, more than what is useful or needed.
104
More than what is useful or needed is extra.
105
If you have something that you don't need, right, you don't need it.
106
It's more than what is useful.
107
You don't need it for using it.
108
It's not something that you need to use.
109
It's just something extra, right?
110
Something above and beyond what you need or what is useful.
111
It's extra.
112
Usually it's a bonus.
113
We think of it in the terms of positive thinking, right?
114
So dessert after dinner is something extra for you to eat.
115
You don't need it.
116
Maybe it's not useful, but you like it, right?
117
That's extra, okay?
118
Sometimes your mom will put something extra in your lunch when you go to school, or you'll get something extra from your friends if they give you something.
119
You don't need it.
120
Maybe it's not useful, but it's something that you like.
121
It's extra.
122
Seven, a place to keep animals for people to see.
123
So these people are visiting what?
124
They're visiting the zoo.
125
The giraffe lives in the zoo.
126
Well, this giraffe lives in the zoo.
127
Most giraffes live in the wild.
128
But in many cities, there are zoos where people can go and they can see animals.
129
These animals are not tame.
130
They're not pets.
131
They're kind of wild animals.
132
Even though they don't live in nature, they live in a place that's built by human beings, they are in a zoo.
133
But they are not tame.
134
You have to be careful when approaching these animals because they're maybe not used to being around human beings.
135
Okay, we say, of course, that's a zoo.
136
I forget the word, zoo.
137
When you say this word, pronunciation, zee, z, zoo, zoo.
138
Not ju, zoo, zoo.
139
You got some vibration.
140
So make your mouth wide like that and make your tongue vibrate.
141
Zoo.
142
And you got it, zoo.
143
Okay, next one.
144
Whoa, this kid's really smart, right?
145
Unique and different, right?
146
Most kids, most children do not write these types of diagrams.
147
You have to be very smart and very intelligent to be able to do this.
148
We say this person is special.
149
Some kids, some young people are very smart.
150
They're like geniuses and they are able to do these types of things at an early age, maybe even better than people who are a lot older than them.
151
Some of them are a lot smarter than their teachers in school.
152
They are special kids and they should have special education.
153
Okay, next one.
154
9. Wow, very nice and peaceful.
155
Very beautiful scene.
156
Having a lot of water in the air.
157
Now, having a lot of water in the air, it's kind of hard to show a picture of that.
158
But basically, if you're at the beach, you notice you're next to the ocean.
159
It's very hot.
160
When it's hot, a lot of the water comes into the air, right?
161
And in Korean you say, 습기, 습기, right?
162
습기.
163
In English we say it's humid.
164
During the summertime in Korea, it's very humid, isn't it?
165
And you sweat a lot.
166
In the wintertime, it's dry.
167
So the opposite of humid, the opposite, pandero, is dry.
168
It's dry in the winter, but humid in the summer.
169
Humid means it has a lot of water in the air.
170
Next one people who make sure we follow the laws.
171
Who are people that make sure we follow the laws?
172
We call these people police.
173
This person is a policeman but there are also police women.
174
If you just want to talk about police you can just say police.
175
It doesn't mean man or woman it's just the police and usually we say the police force.
176
It's a group of people, men and women, who make Make sure we follow the laws.
177
They enforce the law.
178
If he is breaking the law by speeding, going too fast, or if he doesn't stop at the stop light or stop sign,
179
then this person will write a ticket, making sure that he follows the law next time.
180
Eleven.
181
Oh, we have a playing doctor, right?
182
He's going to be the doctor for his younger brother, it looks like.
183
What a thing does or is used for.
184
But what a thing does or is used for, we call that a role, right?
185
So, what is the role of the things that you use?
186
For example, the mask.
187
What's the role of the mask?
188
The role of the mask or the function of the mask is to prevent disease from transferring from one person to another.
189
So what the thing does or what it is used for, we can say what's its role.
190
You could also say what is its function?
191
What is its function?
192
Or what is it used for?
193
What is it used for?
194
What's its role?
195
Okay.
196
Whoa, that was fast.
197
These kids, have you ever done this?
198
What are they doing?
199
They have pillows and they're fighting with each other to try to beat somebody.
200
You fight them.
201
Of course, a pillow fight is very common among brothers and sisters and friends, right?
202
Hey, you're fighting somebody, but you don't mean to hurt them.
203
You're just having fun.
204
You're trying to beat the other person, and you're fighting them.
205
Of course, we also fight people in video games.
206
Don't fight people physically.
207
That's not good behavior.
208
But you're trying to beat the other person.
209
Now, fight is an irregular verb.
210
It has different forms when we use it in past tense.
211
So we say fight, fought, fought.
212
Fight, fought, fought.
213
Okay?
214
That's the different verb forms depending on the verb tense that you're using, present or past tense.
215
Whether it's simple past or past perfect.
216
Okay, next one.
217
13. Ooh, this house looks terrible, right?
218
It's leaning to one side.
219
Situation or environment, the condition of this house is very bad.
220
In fact, this house should be torn down.
221
It's not safe.
222
The condition is unsafe.
223
What is the condition of this house?
224
Dangerous, unsafe.
225
It should be torn down and a new house should be built.
226
A new house, the condition is very good and the condition is safe.
227
So the situation environment is like the condition.
228
I'll get next one.
229
Made of hardened sand and stone.
230
Made of hardened sand and stone.
231
What is this?
232
This is concrete.
233
Okay, so you see this truck sometimes you see these trucks at Kongsujung sites, right?
234
And that's construction site and they use concrete to build buildings or other types of things, roads, walls.
235
Concrete is used for a lot of different things and they use sand and stone, crushed up stone, water also and they can make concrete,
236
okay, made of hardened sand and stone concrete.
237
This isn't hard, this is wet, but after it dries it becomes hard and it's a very strong building material.
238
Okay, number 15, a huge field with grass and few trees.
239
So a huge field, lots of grass, a few trees here and there, we call this place a a plain.
240
And if you talk about the plains, usually people say the plains, like if they say the Great Plains,
241
the Great Plains is an area designated in the middle of America.
242
It involves states like Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and higher up, the Dakotas.
243
These states, there are not a lot of trees.
244
It's just very flat and lots of grass and there's a lot of farmland there.
245
Now, a long time ago it was just grass
246
and buffalo would run up and down this area and the Indians would hunt the buffalo.
247
Those were the Great Plains.
248
So plain, a very flat area, huge field you can see for miles and miles and miles.
249
It takes days to go across the Great Plains.
250
Okay, last word, a deep hole.
251
If you have a deep hole like this, this looks like a mining operation, but a deep hole we call it a pit.
252
I used to work for a mining company in America.
253
I was in the human resources department at a large mining company, and that's what we call it.
254
We call it the pit.
255
We say the north pit, the south pit, right?
256
So a pit is a deep hole.
257
But pit doesn't just mean mining.
258
It can be a natural pit.
259
For example, sometimes you hear in the news where the ground just opens up, and they call that a sinkhole, but you can also say it's a pit.
260
It's just a deep hole in the ground.
261
It's a pit.
262
Okay, that's our words.
263
Let's go over the words how well do we remember these words?
264
Let's do some exercises.
265
Number one, I enjoy movies, they are great.
266
Beep.
267
And then we have the words here.
268
So we have A, waste, B, audience, C, entertainment, D, people.
269
What did we say about this word?
270
We said that something that you do for fun, right?
271
Like a movie, it could be playing a video game, it could be playing soccer, there's many forms of it.
272
What is it?
273
Of course we talked about entertainment.
274
I enjoy movies, they are great entertainment.
275
Not waste, that doesn't make sense.
276
Not audience, that doesn't make sense.
277
And not people.
278
Movies are not people, that's weird.
279
Movies are a form of entertainment.
280
There are many types of entertainment.
281
There are many forms of entertainment.
282
Movies are one type of entertainment.
283
Okay, skipping number two, going to three.
284
You can see monkeys in cages at the what?
285
Where can you go and see animals in cages?
286
Hopefully not in cages.
287
That's not very nice.
288
That's not very good.
289
Hopefully they're in open areas.
290
But sometimes they're in large cages.
291
Okay, where do you see them? and the plains, in the jungle, at the zoo, or at the environment.
292
Notice we say at.
293
That's important too because we don't say at the plains, we say on the plains.
294
We don't say at the jungle, we say in the jungle.
295
Let me write this down for you.
296
On the plains, in the jungle,
297
at the zoo, and in the environment.
298
So really, we see at here, at is here, so that kind of gives us the idea anyway, right?
299
You can see monkeys in cages at the zoo.
300
We say at the zoo.
301
You can say in the zoo, but it's more common to say at the zoo.
302
But we don't say at the plains, we say on the plains.
303
We don't say at the jungle, we say in the jungle.
304
And environment, it's usually common to say in the environment, in an environment.
305
So just looking at the preposition, zoo is the only one that we have to choose, so zoo is the answer.
306
But zoo is also the only one that makes sense.
307
You don't see monkeys in cages on the plains or in the jungle.
308
The jungle is a natural environment.
309
You don't have cages in the jungle where monkeys live.
310
That's crazy.
311
And in the environment, that doesn't fit well with the sentence anyway.
312
The best answer is zoo, even if we don't worry about the preposition.
313
Okay, next one, number five.
314
I was beep at a good school.
315
What is done to you at a school?
316
Nothing bad, that sounds bad, what is done to you at a school?
317
But in a positive sense, what happens to you at school?
318
Are you educated?
319
Are you entertained?
320
Are you kept?
321
Are you treated?
322
Well, you could be all four of those things, but one of those is the best choice.
323
I was educated at a good school.
324
Hopefully, if it's a good school, you will get a good education.
325
So you will be educated at a good school.
326
I was educated at a good school.
327
You could say I was entertained at a good school, but the purpose for going to school is not to be entertained.
328
The purpose for going to school is to be educated.
329
So that's not a very good fit.
330
I was kept at a good school.
331
This sounds like you were kept a prisoner at a good school.
332
That sounds a little strange.
333
It's possible grammatically, but it sounds strange.
334
I was treated at a good school.
335
And that sounds odd too, because that doesn't say anything.
336
You were treated at a good school?
337
Usually we have to say I was treated well or I was treated poorly.
338
How were you treated?
339
If you just say I was treated at a good school, that doesn't say anything.
340
What does it say?
341
So it doesn't fit.
342
The best answer is educated.
343
I was educated at a good school.
344
It means I got a good education.
345
Seven, my dog is beep.
346
He has two different colored eyes.
347
Well, that's strange.
348
If your dog has one blue eye and one brown eye, that's kind of strange, right?
349
So would you say your dog is poor, your dog is special, your dog is small, or your dog is old?
350
Okay, well strange can be unusual, right?
351
It can be different.
352
It can be special, not ordinary, right?
353
So the only one that fits is special.
354
Poor doesn't fit.
355
My dog is poor, doesn't have any money.
356
Dogs don't care about that.
357
My dog is small.
358
Okay, your dog is small, but why would you say he has two different colored eyes?
359
That's not an example of being small.
360
My dog is old.
361
Okay, well he's old, but why would you say he's two different colored eyes?
362
Having two different colored eyes is not an example of being old.
363
But having two different colored eyes is an example of being special.
364
So make sure that this adjective fits the explanation or the example.
365
If this example does not fit the adjective, it's not a good match.
366
It's not a good connection.
367
So special is the best choice here because you're saying the first sentence and then you're giving an example of that.
368
Okay, so always make sure you have that connection when you're filling in exercises like this.
369
Okay, that wraps up the vocabulary section.
370
Now let's take a short break and go into the reading part.
371
Let's take a break.

  • /h/ — лёгкий выдох, а не русское «х»: humid /ˈhjuːmɪd/, harden /ˈhɑɹdn̩/, sinkhole /ˈsɪŋkˌhoʊl/
  • Звонкие согласные в конце слова — не оглушайте их: cage /keɪd͡ʒ/, humid /ˈhjuːmɪd/, verb /vɝb/, adjective /ˈæd͡ʒ.ɪk.tɪv/, farmland /ˈfɑːɹmlænd/

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.
