1
This is Max and at just 14 years old he's running his own egg farm near Tamworth in New South Wales.
2
I started farming the eggs as a bit of a hobby
3
and because I love being around animals and livestock on the farm.
4
It then developed into me having a passion for delivering a good quality product to the local community
5
but also running the business side as well.
6
After starting with six chooks in 2024 he's grown his farm to around 70 chooks.
7
My business means a lot to me in many ways.
8
It makes me feel like I'm connecting with the local community, but it also makes me feel like I'm setting myself up for the future, as I want to own my own farm with many enterprises,
9
but also become a vet.
10
But for him and poultry farmers around the country, the future is a bit uncertain because of the bird flu outbreak.
11
Every new case makes me feel more and more worried, especially the closer they are getting to the region I live in.
12
Knowing what it can do and how bad it can impact us, though, does frighten me lots.
13
See, just two months since the H5N1 virus first reached Australian shores, authorities have declared the first mass mortality of Australian wildlife.
14
After more than 80 sick or dead greater crested terns were found on this small island off the SA coast last week.
15
Sadly, we do know that once the H5 bird flu is spreading in wildlife and the natural environment, it is not possible to avoid significant losses,
16
which is what we're starting to see now.
17
And the government reckons this is just the beginning.
18
I want to level with people.
19
This is the beginning of what is likely to be a long, difficult journey in terms of the impacts on wildlife.
20
Until recently, the only birds infected with the virus were terns and other migratory seabirds, which tend to stay along the coast and out at sea.
21
But the strain has now been detected in seagulls.
22
That's a big issue, because not only are seagulls found nearly everywhere, they poo everywhere, which is one of the main ways that the virus spreads.
23
It's causing serious concerns for endangered species like the black swan,
24
and conservationists are also worried about little penguin populations like the one here on Phillip Island in Victoria.
25
It's not just birds that can be infected.
26
Overseas, there have been some cases of the H5 virus in dogs, cats, even dairy cattle.
27
And experts here are worried that many native Aussie mammals, including already endangered species like Tasmanian devils and eastern quolls,
28
are facing an extreme risk.
29
The reality is you can't stop native and wild birds flying around, and you can't stop wild animals moving around.
30
And that will mean more mass mortality events like the one we have now seen.
31
Chickens are particularly vulnerable to bird flu.
32
And in the US, this strain has led to hundreds of millions dying, either from the disease or because they had to be culled to protect people and other animals.
33
It's devastating for poultry farmers, and it's probably going to affect all of us.
34
Do you remember last year when a different strain of bird flu was found in Australian poultry farms?
35
Around 2 .4 million hens had to be culled, and for a while, eggs were really expensive.
36
While that strain was eradicated, this one is likely here to stay.
37
Commercial poultry farms are still unaffected in Australia, and since the industry is worth billions of dollars and many jobs rely on it,
38
farmers are taking big steps to protect their birds.
39
These are putting roofs on all the areas that are possible, monitoring the birds as much as I can and trying to limit the contact between them and wild birds.
40
In Victoria, all chicken farms with more than 50 birds have been put on lockdown.
41
And while no other states have followed so far, South Australia has cancelled bird and poultry exhibits at the upcoming Royal Adelaide Show.
42
All we can do is endeavour to stop it on our end, but we can't put a fence around this country.
43
There is a vaccine for H5 bird flu, but at the moment it's only being made available for some vulnerable species.
44
Humans can get the virus too.
45
And while there are treatments available, it's really dangerous, which is why the government is telling people to be careful.
46
Avoid contact with birds and mammals that appear to be infected.
47
Record what you see and report that.
48
That's the best way that we can work together to respond to what is a very serious event.
49
And even though it's a tense time, Max is staying optimistic.
50
I'm very hopeful for what the future holds
51
and hope once this bird flu is gone I
52
and along with lots of other people can keep expanding in our small businesses.
53
I also hope my ag business keeps thriving for many more years to come.
54
My advice to other young farmers is just to stay calm in this situation and hope for a better future.

Bu videoyu ile konuşma pratiği yapmanın neden faydalı olduğunu öğrenin

Genç çiftçi Max'ın kuş gribiyle mücadele hikayesi, gölge konuşması için mükemmel bir bağlam sunar. Gerçek hayattan örnekler, doğal konuşma tarzı ve duygusal tonlar içeren diyalog, İngilizceyi gerçek yaşamda kullanma yeteneğinizi geliştirir. Ayrıca, toplumsal sorular, iş dünyası ve kültürel bağlamlar hakkında konuşmak isteyenler için pratik materyal sağlar. Özellikle IELTS konuşma pratiği için de faydalıdır, çünkü mantık yürütme, detayları anlatma ve duyguları ifade etme becerilerini çalıştırır.

Bağlamda Dilbilgisi ve İfadeler

  • "It then developed into me having a passion...": "Develop into" ifadesi, bir durumun veya hobinin daha derin bir tutkuya dönüşmesini anlatır. Konuşurken "başlangıçtan sonuca" anlatırken kullanabilirsiniz. Örneğin: "My hobby of cooking developed into a career."
  • "Every new case makes me feel more and more worried...": "Make + object + feel" yapısı, bir durumun başka birini nasıl hissettirdiğini anlatır. Bu yapı duygusal ifadelerde sık kullanılır. Örneğin: "The news made her feel happy."
  • "All we can do is endeavour to stop it...": "Endeavour to" ifadesi, "çabalamak, gayret etmek" anlamına gelir. Formal veya ciddi konularda "try" yerine kullanılarak konuşmayı daha etkili kılar. Örneğin: "We endeavour to help those in need."

Yaygın Telaffuz Zorlukları

Videoda bazı kelimeler telaffuz edilebilirken zorlanılabilir. Örneğin: "poultry" (kanatlı hayvanlar) kelimesi "poul-try" olarak telaffuz edilir, "t" harfi hafif çıkar. "migratory" (göçmen) ise "mi-gra-to-ry" şeklinde, her hecenin eşit ağırlıkta olduğu bir kelimedir. Ayrıca, Max'ın akcenti bazı kelimelerin tonunu değiştirebilir; örneğin "business" kelimesi "biz-nis" olarak değil, "bı-znes" gibi telaffuz edilebilir. Gölge konuşmaları yaparken bu farklılıkları dikkatle dinleyip taklit etmelisiniz.

Videolarla İngilizce öğrenmek, hem dinleme hem de konuşma becerilerinizi aynı anda geliştirir. Bu videoyu tekrar tekrar izleyip, Max'ın konuşmasını taklit ederek gölge konuş tekniğini uygulayın. Hem doğal ifadeler öğrenir hem de telaffuzu geliştirirsiniz!

Bu videodaki dil bilgisi

Konuşmacının en çok kullandığı yapılar, videodaki sözcüklerin aynısıyla:

Edilgen yapı be + fiilin üçüncü hâli — kimin yaptığı değil, ne olduğu önemliwere found · been detected · can be infected

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
