This is 6 Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com Mmm,
2
a quick sip of my coffee just to get me in the mood for today's programme.
3
Welcome to 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
4
I'm Rob.
5
And I'm Finn.
6
Rob, you seem to be enjoying that cup of coffee.
7
Yes, indeed.
8
I love all styles of coffee.
9
That's coffee made in different ways.
10
You could say, I'm a coffee addict.
11
An addict.
12
That's someone who likes doing a particular activity very much and they can't stop doing it.
13
And if you have a strong need to keep drinking coffee, then we could say you have an addiction.
14
That's me.
15
And that's what we're talking about today.
16
Coffee addiction.
17
and we'll be talking about the dangers of drinking too much.
18
Another word for drinking here is consuming.
19
We'll look at some other coffee-related language in today's programme too.
20
But first, Rob, how about a question?
21
Yes, of course.
22
I have a coffee-related question to ask you.
23
OK.
24
Do you know which country drinks the most coffee per person?
25
Is it A.
26
Egypt, B.
27
Finland, or C.
28
Italy?
29
I think they're all coffee-drinking countries, but I'll say B.
30
Finland.
31
OK.
32
As always, I will let you know the answer at the end of the programme.
33
Thank you.
34
OK, Finn, I haven't asked you yet if you drink coffee, so do you?
35
I do, Rob, yes, but only in moderation, so that means not too much.
36
I love the taste and the smell, especially.
37
We could call that the aroma.
38
But it's the caffeine contained in the drink that can have a bad effect.
39
If I drink too much, it can give me headaches.
40
Right.
41
Well, for me, it's the caffeine that keeps me awake.
42
OK.
43
It stimulates my brain.
44
It makes me more alert.
45
That's why we call caffeine a stimulant.
46
Caffeine can also be found in energy and cola drinks and even in tea.
47
Mmm.
48
The New Scientist magazine says caffeine is a psychoactive drug and
49
that 90% of people in the United States consume it every day.
50
Psychoactive drug.
51
So what does that mean?
52
It's a drug that affects how a person feels and sometimes how they behave.
53
The drug can be found in food, like waffles and chewing gum, surprisingly, not just in drinks.
54
That's why scientists who study public health are worried people don't know how much caffeine they are taking.
55
Indeed.
56
Too much caffeine can lead to insomnia.
57
So that's when you can't sleep. And indigestion.
58
So that's a pain in your stomach when it can't process the food that you've just eaten.
59
And finally, high blood pressure.
60
So blood flowing around your body at a higher pressure than is normal.
61
That's dangerous.
62
Well, sometimes drinking coffee does stop me sleeping and sometimes I feel very alert.
63
then very lethargic.
64
You know, that's not having any energy.
65
But I still can't give up.
66
And Rob, you're not alone.
67
We asked people on our BBC Learning English Facebook page how they felt about coffee and we had a lot of responses.
68
Yumiko says, My happiest time is smelling coffee beans just after grinding it.
69
Fresh roasted coffee has a really good fragrance.
70
Fragrance is a word usually associated with perfume, but I think she just means the good smell.
71
Samuel Le says, one cup of good espresso is the daily energy for my body and mind.
72
And Rasha claims, a cup of coffee every day is useful for our health.
73
Ahmed loves coffee too, but he says, be aware that too much coffee is not good for your health.
74
So there seem to be some good effects and some bad or negative effects of drinking coffee, Rob.
75
Well, I find that if I try to give up drinking coffee, I'll also get headaches and feel tired.
76
And these are what we call withdrawal symptoms – the nasty physical and mental effects of stopping.
77
Well, I may drink lots of coffee, but not as much as people in another country.
78
Finn, earlier I asked you if you knew the people of which country drink the most coffee.
79
And I said be Finland.
80
And guess what?
81
You were right.
82
Oh yes!
83
Yes, the people of Finland consume an incredible 12 kilograms of coffee per person every year.
84
That compares with the average consumption of 1.3 kilograms per person.
85
OK Finn, before we go there's just time for you to remind us of some of the words that we heard today.
86
We heard...
87
Addict.
88
Consuming. In moderation.
89
Aroma.
90
Caffeine.
91
Stimulant.
92
Psychoactive drug.
93
Insomnia.
94
Indigestion.
95
High blood pressure.
96
Lethargic. And...
97
Withdrawal symptoms.
98
Thanks, Finn.
99
Thank you, Rob.
100
Do join us again for another edition of 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
101
Bye for now.
102

推薦影片
為什麼用這個影片練習英語口語?
想通過看YouTube學英語,同時提升口語表達?這個關於“咖啡成癮”的對話再合適不過了!它模擬了真實的日常交流場景,話題貼近生活,用詞實用又地道。跟著影片進行shadow speech(影子跟讀),不僅能鍛鍊聽力和反應速度,還能學會如何自然地展開話題、表達觀點。比如對話中Rob和Finn從咖啡喜好聊到健康影響,這種“閒聊+資訊分享”的結構,正是日常生活中最常用的口語模式。堅持練習,你也能像他們一樣流暢溝通!
語境中的語法與表達
影片裡有不少值得學習的實用表達,一起來看看:
- “in moderation”:表示“適度地”。比如Finn說“only in moderation”,既說明了自己的習慣,又避免了絕對化表達,非常口語化。
- “contained in”:意為“包含在……中”。對話中提到“the caffeine contained in the drink”,用過去分詞短語作後置定語,簡潔又準確,比“the drink has caffeine”更高階。
- “stimulates my brain”:“刺激我的大腦”。這裡用“stimulate”替換“make...active”,詞彙更豐富,適合提升口語質感。
常見發音陷阱
練習發音時,這些單詞要特別注意:
- caffeine:發音為/ˈkæfiːn/,容易誤讀成/ˈkæfɪn/,記得中間的“ei”髮長音/iː/。
- psychoactive:這個詞較長,重音在第一個音節/ˌsaɪkəʊˈæktɪv/,不要把重音放在“active”上。
- aroma:發音為/əˈrəʊmə/,注意“a”的弱讀,不要讀成/əˈrɒmə/。
跟著影片反覆跟讀,對比自己的發音和 native speaker 的區別,慢慢就能提高英語發音啦!別害怕出錯,每一次練習都是進步的機會,加油!
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構,並附上影片中的原話:
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | haven't asked · you've just eaten |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的 | be found · can be found |
| 最高階 the -est / the most … — 一組中最高或最低的 | the most coffee · My happiest |
| “will” 表將來 will + 動詞 — 決定、承諾或預測 | we'll be · We'll look · I'll say |
什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
