1
smile and learn have you ever heard of global warming did you know
2
that over the past decades sea level has risen all these
3
news are related to climate change to understand better what climate
4
change is we should define what climate is the climate is the combination of atmospheric conditions
5
that occur in place for a prolonged period of time.
6
Over the past centuries, the climate everywhere around the Earth has changed,
7
altering the usual conditions of a place regarding precipitation and temperature.
8
This way, water shortage, desertification, the disappearance of lakes, or even sea level rise are becoming more and more common.
9
In addition, the number of natural disasters like droughts, floods, or huge storms has increased.
10
All these situations are a consequence of global warming, meaning the increase in temperature happening on the planet,
11
owing mainly to human activity.
12
But why has the planet's temperature risen?
13
The Earth is surrounded by the atmosphere, a thin layer of gas which allows part of the solar radiation to penetrate. For
14
that, this layer consists of gases called greenhouse effect gases whose mission is to absorb part of the energy received
15
and maintain the planet's temperature.
16
One of the main greenhouse effect gases is CO2.
17
With the Industrial Revolution, CO2 emissions started to increase owing to the use of fossil fuels like coal or petrol.
18
Over the past years, the presence of gases like CO2 in the atmosphere increased,
19
and for this reason, its capacity to retain solar radiation has been enhanced, resulting in an increase of the average temperature of the planet.
20
Climate change affects every country in the world, causing a negative impact on their economy, people's lives, and all living beings.
21
Here are some facts.
22
Over the past 150 years, the average global temperature increased almost 2 degrees Fahrenheit.
23
Would you say it's not much?
24
If the Earth's temperature keeps rising, thousands of animal and plant species may disappear forever.
25
Oceans got warmer and for this reason, the amounts of ice have decreased, causing sea levels to rise.
26
Did you know that between 1901 and 2010, the sea level has risen 7 .5 inches?
27
This may cause some places to disappear beneath the water's surface.
28
Worst consequences are predicted in the future if we don't take measures urgently.
29
Currently, there are some viable solutions at hand.
30
Would you like to learn about them?
31
It is necessary to turn to renewable energies to reduce CO2 emissions.
32
Cars are responsible for 10 % of CO2 emissions.
33
Use public transport, bicycle or walk.
34
Reduce your plastic use.
35
Use less plastic.
36
Reducing plastic involves high CO2 emissions in the atmosphere.
37
Plant a tree taking into account the ecological characteristics of your area.
38
Did you know that five trees can absorb up to one metric ton of CO2 during their lifecycle?
39
Always recycle!
40
An interesting fact is that we would need less energy to make paper from old newspapers than
41
if we made it using directly the wood from trees.
42
turn off the lights whenever they are not needed
43
if we save electricity we also reduce the energy waste required
44
to produce it remember it's in your hands to look after the planet want to join us in in our mission?

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构,并附上视频中的原话:

结构视频中的用法
现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事has risen · has changed · has increased
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的are related · is surrounded · has been enhanced
用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 动词 — 有可能但不确定的事may disappear · may cause

需要注意的发音

  • “th” 音: thin /ˈθɪn/, beneath /bɪˈniːθ/
  • “sh” 和 “zh” 音: emission /ɪˈmɪʃ.ən/, radiation /ˌɹeɪ.diˈeɪ.ʃən/, shortage /ˈʃɔː(ɹ)tɪd͡ʒ/, precipitation /pɹɪˌsɪpɪˈteɪʃn̩/, desertification /dɪˌzɝ.tɪ.fɪˈkeɪ.ʃən/
  • 长单词——注意重音位置: radiation /ˌɹeɪ.diˈeɪ.ʃən/, electricity /ɪˌlɛkˈtɹɪsɪti/, characteristic /ˌkæɹ(ə)ktəˈɹɪstɪk/, atmospheric /ˌætməsˈfɛɹɪk/, ecological /ˌiːkəˈlɒd͡ʒɪkl̩/

中文母语者容易读错的音:

  • /v/ — 不要读成 /w/,上齿轻触下唇: involve /ɪnˈvɑlv/, viable /ˈvaɪəbəl/
  • 词尾辅音 — 要读清楚,后面不要加元音: consequence /ˈkɑn.sɪ.kwəns/, absorb /æbˈsɔɹb/, greenhouse /ˈɡɹːnˌ(h)aʊs/, flood /flʌd/, involve /ɪnˈvɑlv/
  • /r/ 和 /l/ 的区别: electricity /ɪˌlɛkˈtɹɪsɪti/, alter /ˈɔl.təɹ/, renewable /ɹɪˈnu.ə.bl̩/, petrol /ˈpɛt.ɹəl/, prolong /pɹoʊˈlɑŋ/

如何用这段视频练习

  1. 先完整听一遍视频,不要开口,记下不认识的单词。
  2. 用正常速度逐句跟读,每句重复到你的节奏与说话人一致为止。
  3. 录下自己的声音并与原声对比,特别注意 emission, atmosphere, layer 这类单词。

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。
