6 Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
I'm Phil.
3
And I'm Beth.
4
Are you a big reader, Phil?
5
Sure.
6
I enjoy reading and it's also a great way to pass the time on my daily commute to work.
7
But reading isn't just a nice thing to do.
8
It's an essential skill, something you need for everyday activities, whether that's finding out the news by reading a newspaper or buying groceries by reading the labels.
9
And that's why I was shocked by a recent UN report estimating that around the world, over 700 million adults are illiterate, which means they can't read or write.
10
Wow, that's a huge number of people excluded from doing basic day-to-day things.
11
So what can be done to get more adults reading and writing?
12
In this programme, we'll be hearing about projects in two very different countries trying to do just that.
13
And as usual, we'll be learning some useful new vocabulary as well.
14
But first, I have a question for you, Phil.
15
I mentioned a recent UN report on the high numbers of people unable to read and write.
16
But illiteracy is not a new problem.
17
Since 1967, the UN has been highlighting the importance of literacy, being able to read and write, with a day of celebration called International Literacy Day.
18
But when does it take place?
19
Is it A, the 8th of March, B, the 8th of June, or C, the 8th of September?
20
I think International Literacy Day is on the 8th of September.
21
OK, Phil, we'll find out if that's correct at the end of the programme.
22
The biggest reason people grow up illiterate is not going to school.
23
And that's especially true for people living in the coastal towns of Bangladesh.
24
Because these towns flood regularly, families are always on the move, making it hard for children to get an education.
25
The Friendship Project teaches reading and writing to groups of Bangladeshi women and girls.
26
They also teach numeracy, which means the ability to do basic maths like counting and adding up.
27
Here, one student, Rashida, explains the impact it's had on her to BBC World Service programme, People Fixing the World.
28
My parents never sent me to school and I've suffered from not being able to read and write.
29
My children were embarrassed that I was illiterate.
30
I couldn't even do basic accounting.
31
Until now, I've had to use my fingerprint as a signature as I was illiterate.
32
But now I can sign my name because I can read and write the alphabet.
33
And I'll also be able to keep an account of my expenses.
34
No one can cheat me anymore.
35
Before the friendship project, Rashida couldn't write her signature, her name written in her own handwriting.
36
Instead, she had to use her fingerprint.
37
Now Rashida has learnt the alphabet, and also some basic maths, so she knows how much money she's spent and how much she has left.
38
This means no one can cheat her, can trick or swindle her into taking her money.
39
The Friendship Project is free, and so far over 11,000 adults have completed it.
40
But it's not just developing countries that struggle with literacy.
41
Our second project takes place much closer to home, the north of England, where charity Read Easy matches adult learners with trained volunteers for one-to-one lessons.
42
In the UK, one in six adults struggle with reading and writing, including Peter.
43
Peter had hearing problems as a child, fell behind at school and never learnt to read.
44
Here he is talking with BBC World Service programme People Fixing the World.
45
Many of us take it for granted that everyone can read and write.
46
If you take something for granted, you assume it's true without checking.
47
Peter had to ask his neighbours to read his letters, something he found very embarrassing.
48
He thought he was thick, stupid and unintelligent.
49
Now, Peter says learning with Read Easy has changed his life.
50
He's literate and is reading his way through the Harry Potter books.
51
And he always celebrates International Literacy Day.
52
Which reminds me of your question, Beth.
53
When does the UN's International Literacy Day take place?
54
I said it was on the 8th of September.
55
And that was the correct answer!
56
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learnt from this programme, starting with illiterate, meaning unable to read and write.
57
Numeracy is the ability to understand basic maths, count and add up.
58
Your signature is your name written in your own handwriting style.
59
It shows that something has been written or agreed by you.
60
To cheat someone means to trick or deceive them in order to get their money or valuables.
61
If you take something for granted, you assume that it's true without checking up.
62
And finally, the adjective thick is an informal word for stupid.
63
Once again, our six minutes are up.
64
But remember to join us again next time for more trending topics and useful vocabulary here at 6 Minute English.
65
Goodbye for now.
66
Bye.
67
Bye.

背景与上下文
在这段来自BBC Learning English的节目中，主持人Phil和Beth讨论了识字的重要性。识字不仅是一项基本技能，也是我们日常生活中不可或缺的一部分，如阅读新闻、购物等。根据联合国的报告，全球有超过7亿的人口是无字可读的。这对于那些生活在教育条件较差地区的人来说，尤其严重。例如，孟加拉国的海滨城镇常年遭洪水影响，儿童上学的机会受到严重限制。节目中也提到了一些项目如何帮助成人提高识字能力，改变他们的生活。
日常交流的五个常用短语
- Illiteracy（文盲）: 指缺乏阅读和书写能力的状态。
- Basic numeracy（基本数学能力）: 指进行简单数学运算的能力。
- Take something for granted（理所当然地认为）: 不作检查就假设某事为真。
- Sign my name（签名）: 在纸上写下自己的名字，通常是为了证明身份。
- One-to-one lessons（一对一的课程）: 指教师与学生之间的一对一教学方式。
逐步跟读指南
学习英语时，利用 shadow speech 和 英语影子跟读 是非常有效的方法。以下是如何使用这段视频进行跟读练习的步骤：
- 初步观看: 首先完整观看这段视频，了解内容及情感。
- 分段精读: 将视频分为小段，每次听一小段，并尝试理解每个短语的含义。
- 跟读练习: 重复播放每段内容，模仿主持人的语音语调。这种方法有助于提高你的口语流利度和准确性。
- 记录反思: 在练习时，记录下你觉得难发音的单词或短语，通过反复练习来克服它们。
- 实际运用: 尝试将所学的短语运用到你的日常交流中，例如在朋友间讨论类似话题，促进记忆的巩固。
通过以上步骤，不仅可以提升你的语言能力，还能够为雅思口语练习打下良好基础。在练习过程中，记得多多观看相关的 看YouTube学英语 资源，进一步提升你的阅读和理解能力。
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。
