Good morning everyone and welcome to our Outdoor Survival Program.
2
As you know, this week you'll be learning some of the basic information
3
and skills you need to look after yourself independently in the outdoors.
4
These first two days we'll be based here in the classroom
5
and then we'll be taking a camping trip to put into practice some of the things you've learned.
6
I'm going to start off with the topic of food, and to start with, I'll describe just two methods which we'll be putting into practice at our camp,
7
and which make use of natural resources—the steam pit and the bamboo pot.
8
I've got two posters here to make things clearer, and I'll start with the steam pit here.
9
To make this, you'll need some dry sticks, some grass, some loose earth, and some stones.
10
And for this week only, some matches!
11
The first thing you do is to dig a shallow pit in the place you've chosen to do your cooking.
12
Let's say about 25 cm deep and 30 cm wide.
13
Your sticks have to be a bit wider than the pit
14
because you have to put a line of them along the top from one end of the pit to the other.
15
Before setting light to these, you take some large stones and arrange them on top.
16
Then you start the fire and wait till the wooden platform burns through and the stones fall into the pit.
17
At this point, brush away any pieces of hot ash from the stones.
18
You can use a handful of grass and then take another stick
19
and push it down into the center of the pit between the stones.
20
After that, you cover the whole pit with a thick layer of grass and then you can put your food on it,
21
wrapped in more pieces of grass like parcels.
22
Finally, cover the whole thing with earth.
23
You have to pat it firmly to seal the pit.
24
Then all you have to do is take the stick out
25
and pour a bit of water into the opening that it leaves.
26
It should take about four hours for your food to cook, as it cooks slowly in the steam that's created inside the pit.
27
Simple but effective.
28
The other method you're going to practice this week is the bamboo oven.
29
Now the steam pit is ideal in certain conditions because the heat is below ground level.
30
For example, if there's a strong wind and you're afraid a fire might spread.
31
But when it's safe to have an open fire, you can use the bamboo oven method.
32
You get a length of bamboo, which as you probably know is hollow and consists of a number of individual sections with a wall in between.
33
You use a sharp stick to make a hole in each of the dividing walls apart from the end one.
34
Then you lean the bamboo over a fire, with the top propped up by a forked stick and the bottom sitting on the ground.
35
You pour enough water in the top to fill the bottom section
36
and then light a fire underneath that section to heat the water.
37
Then you put your food inside the top section
38
and the steam coming up the bamboo through the holes you made cooks it.
39
I'm going to move on now to food itself and talk about some of the wild plants you might cook.
40
I'm going to begin with fungi.
41
That's mushrooms and toad's apples.
42
I'm sure you'll be aware that some of these are edible and they're delicious, but some of them are highly poisonous.
43
Now, whether they're poisonous or not, all fungi that you find in the wild should be cooked before eating
44
because that helps to destroy any compounds in them that might be mildly toxic.
45
But be aware that any amount of cooking won't make poisonous varieties any safer to eat.
46
Unless you can definitely identify a fungus, you should never eat it.
47
It's not worth the risk.
48
And you need to be really sure, because some fungi that are poisonous are very similar in appearance to certain edible varieties.
49
They can easily be mistaken for each other.
50
So, having said all that, fungi are delicious when they're freshly picked, and although they are only moderately nutritious,
51
they do contain minerals which the body needs.
52
I'll move on now to leafy plants.

✨ 推荐视频
这个视频适合谁?
如果你想提高英语发音,同时学习户外生存知识,这个视频再合适不过了。它适合有一定基础、希望通过真实场景对话提升听力和口语的学习者。视频中的讲解清晰易懂,语速适中,非常适合用来做shadowing练习——跟着模仿发音、语调,逐步掌握自然的表达节奏。
值得借鉴的词汇和表达
- steam pit:蒸汽坑,一种户外烹饪方式。
- bamboo pot:竹筒锅,利用竹子中空特性制作的炊具。
- edible:可食用的,视频中用来描述野生植物。
- poisonous:有毒的,讲解真菌时的关键词汇。
- seal the pit:密封坑洞,烹饪步骤中的重要动作。
这些词汇不仅实用,还能帮助你在shadowing时更准确地理解内容。
如何练好发音?
视频中 speaker 的发音清晰,语调自然,是很好的模仿对象。练习时可重点关注以下几点:一是连读,比如“put into practice”中“put into”的连读;二是重音,像“independent”“nutritious”等长单词的重音位置;三是语调,讲解步骤时的平缓语气和强调重点时的升调。你可以用shadowing site反复练习,跟着视频逐句跟读,对比自己的发音和speaker的差异。坚持下去,你的英语发音会有明显提升。记住,shadow speak的核心是“模仿+重复”,多听多练才能掌握精髓。
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。
