If you're a serious English learner,
2
hold on to your seat because I've got some breaking news.
3
Breaking news.
4
Well, hello, all of my students.
5
I hope you're having a fantastic day.
6
My name is Jay.
7
Welcome back to the channel.
8
It's time to improve your English and I am going to accomplish
9
that by reading through an English article at a moderate pace and explaining key vocabulary words and phrases.
10
Make sure you're paying attention.
11
I have about six quiz questions and I will give you the answers at the end of today's lesson.
12
So if you're ready for some learning and some laughter,
13
Let's dive into today's lesson.
14
According to Yahoo Finance, Alphabet
15
and SpaceX reportedly discuss launching data centers into orbit.
16
So we're going to learn some financial terms today.
17
Alphabet is the parent company of Google.
18
Okay, so Alphabet, all right, data centers.
19
Okay, we'll talk about that today.
20
So a data center is simply a facility that is large,
21
that houses thousands of computers and servers and storage systems.
22
to help run AI and cloud services.
23
So they are becoming very,
24
very popular in our modern time.
25
Okay.
26
SpaceX is the Aero system owned by Elon Musk.
27
So let's dive in.
28
Alphabet, Google's parent company is reportedly in talks with SpaceX about launching orbital data centers into space.
29
So orbital having to do with outer space up in the heavens.
30
OK, so they want to put data centers in the outer galaxy.
31
That's amazing.
32
I wonder if that will happen in our lifetime.
33
The proposed partnership partnership to two or more companies that are working together to accomplish a goal,
34
a partnership would combine Google's artificial system.
35
Excuse me.
36
Google's artificial systems, artificial intelligence systems with SpaceX rocket technology to support future computing projects.
37
All right.
38
So you have Google and SpaceX coming together to accomplish a goal of getting data centers in space.
39
The discussions are connected to Google's project Suncatcher,
40
an effort focused on building solar powered satellites capable of processing data in orbit.
41
Okay, so they're not going to put physical data centers,
42
but according to this article,
43
they're going to have solar powered satellites or sun powered satellites that process the data in space.
44
Google hopes the technology could reduce pressure on Earth based data centers,
45
which require massive amounts of electricity and cooling systems.
46
And you're hearing about at least I have heard about communities being upset
47
that data centers are being built in their communities because it drives up electric bills.
48
Okay.
49
Experts say that idea may sound futuristic.
50
Say that with me.
51
Futuristic, having to do with something being done in the future.
52
But companies are becoming increasingly ambitious as data demand for AI computing continues to grow.
53
So here's a picture of Elon Musk and notice companies are becoming ambitious.
54
OK, so when someone or a group of people or a company is ambitious,
55
say that with me, ambitious.
56
It's an adjective.
57
It describes a person.
58
It says that they have very large goals or plans plans.
59
Okay.
60
Very ambitious.
61
She started an ambitious plan to open her own business.
62
Okay.
63
So when you are ambitious, you have big dreams.
64
Okay.
65
You want to do big things and it's more than just a dream.
66
You have a plan to conquer the world.
67
You know, that would be very ambitious.
68
You know, for me to say I want to reach 20 million English students,
69
that would be very ambitious.
70
You know, I've gotten to a point in my life where I am just content on whatever state I am in.
71
Though I have goals, I don't want to be overly ambitious, okay?
72
And AI is a great demand.
73
I think I'll talk about that on a podcast episode.
74
Space-based systems could eventually help solve energy and infrastructure limitations facing the tech industry.
75
OK, so when we talk about infrastructure,
76
that's a great intermediate word that I have dealt with before.
77
Infrastructure has to do with systems and structures needed to operate.
78
So you might say the city needs better infrastructure for traffic problems,
79
especially here in the city of Atlanta.
80
Oh, my goodness.
81
Traffic is horrendous or awful, bad, terrible.
82
Supporters believe orbital computing.
83
Let me start over.
84
Supporters believe orbital computing could create more efficient way to process enormous amounts of information,
85
especially as AI tools become more advanced.
86
OK, now, when something is efficient,
87
It describes something that is working well,
88
okay, without wasting time or energy, very efficient.
89
Working from home helped him become more efficient,
90
more productive, more impactful, okay?
91
Let's look at one more sentence before I give you a quiz, all right?
92
However, critics warn that the technology remains highly experimental and extremely expensive.
93
So it's going to cost a lot of money.
94
And right now, when something is experimental,
95
it's going through a lot of tests.
96
Experimental.
97
OK, still being tested or fully proven.
98
All right.
99
experimental.
100
So you might say the doctor recommended an experimental treatment.
101
So in other words, they don't know if a drug they were going to give someone would work.
102
So they have experimental tests to see if the drug is efficient or quality or able to achieve
103
what they desire.
104
Okay, let's look at a quiz.
105
I have three options for you.
106
Experimental, ambitious, and efficient are your choices.
107
Use the comment section down below for your answers.
108
Number one, she created a blank plan to grow her company.
109
Number two, the new system is more blank than the old one.
110
And number three, scientists are testing and blank treatment.
111
Okay.
112
So ambitious, efficient, and experimental.
113
If I've done a good job,
114
you should be able to grasp and answer these correctly.
115
Okay.
116
Let's dive back in for the second half.
117
We're almost done.
118
I am moving along today.
119
The talks also reflect a growing collaboration.
120
Collaboration.
121
Remember I talked about partnership earlier?
122
Okay.
123
People working together.
124
Well, when there is a collab,
125
that's a short term or collaboration.
126
Okay.
127
It's when people
128
or companies work together the project you might say was a collaboration between two friends all right
129
so collaboration all right the talks also reflect a growing collaboration between major technology
130
let's see here major technology companies that were once seen mainly as competitors
131
so now these companies are working together analysts say the project could become a major innovation
132
if the technology proves successful so if they can get these satellites up
133
and going in space it would be a great invention it would be innovative okay
134
so when we talk about innovation innovation has to do with a new idea,
135
a new way of doing things, a new method.
136
So you might say smartphones were a major innovation in communication.
137
Okay.
138
AI tools are a great innovation for different things such as research or learning.
139
Okay.
140
Innovation.
141
Who would have ever thought AI would become a thing.
142
Artificial intelligence, that used to be something we would only hear about in the movies.
143
For now, both companies appear to be exploring possibilities.
144
When you explore something, you are researching,
145
trying to discover, you're looking into things,
146
exploring possibilities rather than confirming a final agreement.
147
So before they say something is set in stone,
148
as we would say, something is permanent,
149
they are researching and seeing what is possible.
150
The investment and the tech world are watching with anticipation.
151
So what this simply means is it's a lot of testing and research that must be done,
152
a lot of money that must be spent.
153
And so people are excited about what the future may hold.
154
All right.
155
So I've given you about 15 new vocabulary words, if I'm counting correctly.
156
Let's read back through today's article at a faster pace without stopping.
157
This will test your comprehension.
158
This will also challenge your English reading skills,
159
but will also give you an opportunity to listen and comprehend.
160
OK, then we'll give you the final quiz for today.
161
All right, let's dive back in.
162

179
What a great article.
180
I enjoy reading about technology.
181
I think I'll do more technology and financial articles in the near future.
182
Let me know if you like that idea down in the comment section.
183
Okay, let's look at our last quiz.
184
I have three more options for you.
185
Let's see if you can get these correct.
186
Innovation, collaboration, and infrastructure are your options.
187
Number one, the business deal was a blank between two companies.
188
Number two, the Internet was a major blank.
189
And number three, the city needs stronger blank to support growth.
190
All right.
191
That's going to do it for today's English lesson.
192
Oh, my goodness.
193
I moved along very quickly.
194
I am going to show you the answers in just a moment.

Mẹo Thực Hành

Khi thực hành với video này, hãy chú ý đến tốc độ và giọng điệu của người nói. Để cải thiện khả năng phát âm tiếng Anh chuẩn, hãy thử áp dụng phương pháp shadowing tiếng anh. Đặt video ở chế độ phát lại với tốc độ vừa phải, lắng nghe và lặp lại những câu nói ngay sau khi người nói dứt lời. Bằng cách này, bạn sẽ dễ dàng cải thiện âm điệu và ngữ điệu của mình. Hãy nhớ rằng sức mạnh của shadowspeak không nằm ở việc sao chép mà là hiểu rõ ý nghĩa và cảm xúc của câu nói. Đừng ngần ngại sử dụng các phần mềm shadowing để hỗ trợ bạn trong quá trình này. Những ứng dụng này sẽ giúp bạn ghi âm và so sánh cách phát âm của mình với bản gốc, từ đó điều chỉnh sao cho phù hợp hơn. Nên luyện tập thường xuyên để thấy tiến bộ rõ rệt nhé!

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
