Another day, another good talk with Learn English Podcast channel.
2
It feels good to be back with our lovely listeners again.
3
If you're new here, this is the eight minute English podcast series hosted by me, Nathan.
4
In this series, we'll have fun learning English together by listening to all kinds of topics.
5
From education, economy, health, fashion,
6
to everything in the world that you care about.
7
Today's focus will be the environment.
8
When it comes to the word environment,
9
what do you think about?
10
Maybe fresh air, green forests, or clean water?
11
All these things are super important for our lives, right?
12
But nowadays, problems are happening to our lovely planet Earth.
13
Pollutions are everywhere, making it harder for us to live in.
14
People are coming up with new ways to protect the environment.
15
So in today's episode, we'll explore some easy solutions we can all try to help stop pollution together.
16
All right?
17
In the next part, you will listen to a meeting of the Green Leaves Club,
18
in which people discuss on ways to protect the environment.
19
For this episode, we've prepared a free PDF full of vocabulary and helpful tips for your learning journey.
20
Make sure to check it out.
21
And now, are you ready?
22
Let's dive in.
23
Hi, everyone.
24
It's nice to see you all here.
25
As nature lovers, we always try our best to keep the environment green and clean.
26
I appreciate all your efforts,
27
which is why today I want to have a small discussion on ways to protect the environment.
28
All opinions are welcome and will be heard.
29
Thanks, Luke.
30
May I start first?
31
Sure, Nikki.
32
Go ahead.
33
Earth is our only home.
34
It gives us clean water to drink.
35
fresh air to breathe and soil to grow food.
36
But our planet is getting sick.
37
We need to take better care of it.
38
Yeah, I know.
39
I saw a video showing how the ocean is full of plastic.
40
It's so sad.
41
That's right.
42
Plastic is a big problem.
43
We use too much plastic every day.
44
It ends up in our oceans and harms sea animals.
45
We need to use less plastic.
46
Does anyone have ideas on how we can do that?
47
I've started bringing a reusable bag when I go shopping.
48
It's easy, and now I don't need plastic bags anymore.
49
I also always carry a reusable water bottle.
50
It's better than buying plastic bottles every time.
51
That's a great idea, Mia.
52
I've also switched to metal straws instead of plastic ones.
53
They're reusable, and I don't throw them away after one use.
54
Great ideas.
55
Let's try to buy things that come with less plastic packaging.
56
What about saving energy?
57
We can help the planet by using less electricity.
58
That's a good point.
59
I've been trying to save energy by turning off the lights when I leave a room.
60
It's a small thing, but if everyone did it,
61
we could save a lot of energy.
62
I also switch to lead bulbs.
63
They last longer and use less electricity.
64
I do the same, Nadia.
65
And I also try not to use the air conditioner too much.
66
Instead, I use a fan or open the windows to let in fresh air.
67
It's cooler and saves a lot of energy.
68
Oh, guys, I just watched a video about composting.
69
It's pretty simple to do.
70
You just need to sort your waste.
71
Put recyclable materials like paper and plastic in one bin and food scraps in another.
72
The food scraps can turn into compost,
73
which is great for the garden.
74
I've started doing that, and it's amazing how much less trash I have now.
75
The compost makes my plants grow better too.
76
And recycling helps reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
77
That's fantastic, Toby.
78
Let's also talk about supporting local and sustainable products.
79
When we buy food from local farmers or choose organic products,
80
we're helping the environment.
81
It's because these products don't have to travel far, which means less pollution.
82
Plus, they're usually healthier.
83
We should try to buy local produce when we can.
84
It's fresher, and we know we are supporting the local community.
85
I also avoid products with harmful chemicals because they're bad for us and the environment.
86
Thanks, Ben and Nadia, for the suggestions.
87
What about transportation, guys?
88
People are using too many cars these days,
89
and the pollution is making me mad.
90
Instead of driving everywhere, we should use more public transportation,
91
walk or ride bikes.
92
It not only reduces pollution,
93
but also benefits our health.
94
I started riding my bike to work three years ago and it always feels great.
95
Me too.
96
Biking is fun and it helps reduce air pollution too.
97
And let's not forget about saving water.
98
Simple things like turning off the tap when brushing your teeth or fixing leaky faucets can make a big difference.
99
Do any of you use rainwater to water your plants?
100
I'm sure most of us do, Lucas.
101
Yeah, I use it too.
102
It's free and helps me save more water.
103
Amazing.
104
These small actions really add up.
105
If we all do our part,
106
we can make a big difference for the planet.
107
Let's make Mother Earth a better place to live.
108
Now, let's talk about some important words in this episode.
109
The first word is pollution.
110
Pollution is when harmful things like smoke or trash make our air,
111
water, or land dirty.
112
It can harm plants, animals, and people.
113
For example, smoke from cars causes air pollution.
114
The next word is reuse.
115
Reuse means using something again instead of throwing it away.
116
For example, you can reuse a glass jar to store things.
117
Next, we have composting.
118
Composting is turning food scraps and garden waste into rich soil.
119
This helps plants grow and reduces trash.
120
Now, let's talk about recycling.
121
Recycling means turning used things like paper or plastic into new products.
122
This helps save resources and reduce waste.
123
Local produce is the last word.
124
Local produce is food grown near where you live.
125
It is usually fresher and helps support local farmers.
126
Now, let's look at three questions about our topic.
127
The first one is, why is it important to protect the environment?
128
It is important because a healthy environment gives us clean air, water, and food.
129
It also helps plants and animals live well.
130
The second question is, what are some ways we can reduce waste?
131
We can reduce waste by recycling,
132
using less plastic, and reusing items like bags and bottles.
133
Please leave your comments below and let us know what you think.
134
Before we end the podcast,
135
let's look at some fun facts about nature and the environment.
136
First up, did you know that air is mostly made of gases we can't see?
137
It's like a secret mix.
138
About 78% of the air is nitrogen,
139
and 21% is oxygen, with tiny amounts of other gases like carbon dioxide and neon.
140
Now, let's talk about water.
141
Most of the Earth's water is salty, 97% of it.
142
Only 3% is fresh, and even less,
143
just 1% is safe to drink.
144
That means glaciers and ice caps hold most of our fresh water.
145
Speaking of large numbers, let's talk about ants.
146
Believe it or not, ants weigh more than all humans together.
147
Here's another mind-blowing fact.
148
There are more trees on Earth than stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
149
Scientists say there are about 3 trillion trees on our planet.
150
Even with all these trees on Earth,
151
it's still very important that we protect our forests and plant more trees.
152
And did you know trees can talk to each other?
153
They use a special network of fungi called the Wood Wide Web to share nutrients and warn each other about pests.
154
It's like a tree social network.
155
The environment around us is really amazing, right?
156
It not only gives us everything we need to survive,
157
but it's also full of surprises.
158
I always feel so lucky to live on our big planet Earth.
159
Let's be grateful for what Mother Earth has done for us.
160
And let's take bigger steps to protect the environment.
161
This is the end of our podcast.
162
Thank you, listeners, for sticking with us until the end.
163
Don't forget to check out our PDF and review it.
164
Goodbye, and we'll see you in the next episode.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
