Hello, everybody.
2
Welcome back to Reading for Vocabulary.
3
I'm Brian Stewart.
4
We're continuing our subject of space, but in this lesson, lesson eight,
5
we're talking about an eclipse, an eclipse.
6
So, in this lesson, we will focus on, let's talk about eclipses, eclipses,
7
and what people thought about them.
8
What did people think about eclipses a long time ago?
9
But first, we have to think about what is an eclipse.
10
We should know that.
11
That's a little bit of a difficult word, isn't it?
12
Eclipse, 조금 힘들어, right? it's a little bit of a difficult word.
13
Well, an eclipse is shown in these pictures here.
14
What is this?
15
This is a picture of the Sun, so this is the Sun in the sky.
16
Don't look at the Sun, right?
17
Never look at the Sun, but this is what it looks like, right, if you take a picture of it.
18
Now, during an eclipse, something is happening to the Sun.
19
What's happening?
20
Is something eating the sun?
21
No, that's what people thought a long time ago, because it looks like something's eating it.
22
But what's really happening is that this circle here, this is the moon, the moon, right?
23
So think about this.
24
The sun is really far away.
25
The moon is a lot closer.
26
If you're on earth, you're sitting at home, of course you're on earth, right?
27
But think this This is the sun, it's really far away, this is the moon, and the moon sometimes will come like this, and it will cover the sun.
28
Of course, the moon is very small, the sun is very big, but because the moon is much closer to you, it seems a lot bigger than the sun.
29
And in fact, it's very interesting, it's kind of a coincidence,
30
that on Earth, if the moon moves directly between you on Earth and the Sun, it's about the same size.
31
That's really amazing to look at.
32
So what we have here is the Moon is slowly covering the Sun.
33
But don't worry, after this it will go away.
34
The Sun will come back, right?
35
So don't worry.
36
But this is what we call an eclipse.
37
Now this here, the Moon is perfectly covering the sun.
38
That's called a full eclipse, a full eclipse.
39
But you have to be in the right spot on Earth to see a full eclipse.
40
If you're, you know, a hundred or a thousand miles in another direction, maybe the moon doesn't fully cover the sun.
41
Maybe it only covers here and it just moves along and the top part of the sun is not covered,
42
that would be a partial eclipse.
43
So the moon only covers part of the sun as it passes between you and the sun.
44
That would be a partial eclipse or a full eclipse.
45
When we do the reading, we're going to be thinking about the full eclipse.
46
And if you ever have a chance to see a full eclipse, that's great.
47
Your teacher will tell you about it.
48
But remember, don't ever look at the sun even during a full eclipse.
49
You should wear special glasses
50
or look at the shadow of the sun on a piece of paper through a special device
51
or you could use a camera.
52
But don't ever look at the sun during an eclipse.
53
Okay, well let's take a look at some of the words
54
we need to know to understand the reading passage about eclipses and what people thought about eclipses.
55
The first word here, we have a picture.
56
What's going on here?
57
We have some eggs.
58
Where'd that egg go?
59
Who took my egg?
60
I'm hungry.
61
No, I'm just kidding.
62
There's an egg that's missing.
63
It went from sight.
64
We can't see it anymore.
65
What happened?
66
It disappeared.
67
So, if something is there one moment, and then you look again, and it's not there, it disappeared.
68
It disappeared.
69
Disappear.
70
Now, be careful when you say this.
71
Dis -a -pear.
72
So, dis -a -pear.
73
Disappear.
74
Disappear.
75
You can say that something disappears.
76
Don't say, was disappeared.
77
That's Conglish.
78
Don't say that.
79
Many students will say that.
80
Say my watch.
81
disappeared my wallet I hope not
82
but my wallet disappeared right I had it on my desk
83
then it's gone it disappeared not it was disappeared just it disappeared so So, it disappeared.
84
That's how you say that.
85
It disappeared.
86
The egg disappeared.
87
My glasses disappeared.
88
Okay, so that's the correct way to use disappear.
89
Okay, next one.
90
Two.
91
Oh, my God.
92
Oh, sorry.
93
I was suddenly scared.
94
What is that?
95
That's very scary.
96
I'm afraid.
97
Okay, a devil or bad spirit.
98
Another word for a devil or a bad spirit, we call it a demon, demon.
99
Two words, demon, demon.
100
But don't worry, demons aren't real, okay?
101
They're just imagination.
102
We think of demons, right?
103
This is a very scary looking demon, right?
104
Looks like somebody is dressed up for Halloween, right?
105
So demons are from like folk tales or imaginary tales that people tell.
106
Demon, don't be scared.
107
They're not real.
108
Okay.
109
Three.
110
Oh, so romantic, right?
111
Here's a man.
112
He's proposing to his girlfriend.
113
He's proposing with what is this?
114
This is an engagement ring.
115
Ring, engagement ring, that's kind of a long word for you, sorry, ring, engagement ring.
116
When a man wants a woman to marry him, he will give her a ring and he will say, will you marry me?
117
And their love will go on with no end and it's forever.
118
We hope.
119
That's the ideal situation.
120
We hope that it goes on forever.
121
Sometimes it doesn't, but that's another story.
122
Okay, so, but anyway, it's an interesting picture to illustrate forever.
123
Hopefully, their love will be forever until they die.
124
They will be married.
125
They will love each other, I hope, for the rest of their lives.
126
For them, forever.
127
Of course, when you talk about forever, you know, people, we don't live forever.
128
We die very quickly.
129
But if we talk about things like things that go on forever, for a very long time, there's no change, right?
130
They go on for millions and millions and millions of years, right?
131
We can say that's forever.
132
Okay, number four.
133
Now what's going on here?
134
To make the meaning clear.
135
So this person is explaining something to this man over here,
136
explaining or telling him exactly what this paper is about, right?
137
To make the meaning of something clear, you explain.
138
Please explain this form to me.
139
Please explain this letter to me.
140
Explain.
141
Ex -plain.
142
So be careful.
143
P -L.
144
P -L.
145
P -P and L -L.
146
Explain.
147
Explain.
148
It's two sounds.
149
Ex -plain.
150
Explain.
151
Now be careful.
152
Do not use about with explain.
153
Don't do that.
154
Don't ever do this.
155
Please.
156
Explain about.
157
Please explain about the form.
158
No!
159
Please explain the form.
160
Please explain the problem.
161
Please explain to me how to do something.
162
But don't say explain to me about the problem.
163
No!
164
Don't use about with explain.
165
You don't need to.
166
And most times it's incorrect.
167
Okay.
168
So number five, get in the way or stop.
169
This person is playing soccer.
170
They're what we call the goalie, right?
171
The goalie or goalkeeper.
172
You can also call him the goalkeeper.
173
He wants to stop the ball.
174
So what is he doing?
175
He is blocking to block, block, right?
176
Stop it, right?
177
Stop the ball or catch the ball so the ball doesn't go into the goal, right?
178
To get in the way or stop, to block.
179
Now, be careful because when you're walking on the street, you can block other people, right?
180
You get in the way.
181
So always, you know, looking around, making sure you don't block other people, especially when you're going through a door or you're going onto the subway.
182
Or, you know, people are coming in and out like in an elevator, right?
183
So we have to be careful we don't block people from moving in and out of buses, subways, and elevators.
184
So block isn't just for sports, it's also every day when we're walking around, okay?
185
Okay, number five, six, sorry.
186
Bad or harmful?
187
Again, another scary picture, right?
188
We have a witch and we have a bat, but there's no Batman, I'm sorry.
189
What is this?
190
We say it's evil.
191
Bad or harmful.
192
Something that is bad, something that is harmful to many people, we can say, one word we can use is evil.
193
Evil.
194
It's two sounds.
195
Evil.
196
Vuh.
197
Vuh.
198
You make the vuh, the vibration.
199
Vuh.
200
Evil.
201
Evil.
202
Evil.
203
Okay?
204
That's how you pronounce it.
205
It may be a little difficult to pronounce.
206
Evil.
207
Number seven.
208
Oh, look at this.
209
What are these people doing?
210
They are recycling.
211
They are putting together all of the plastic, right?
212
What are they doing?
213
They are gathering all the plastic together.
214
To come together.
215
When you put all the plastic together, you're gathering all the plastic.
216
When you put all the cardboard or paper together, you're gathering it all together.
217
So to come together means to gather.
218
Also, people get together.
219
We can say they are gathering.
220
So it's not just things that gather.
221
People also gather with their bodies, right?
222
Their bodies get together.
223
They are gathering.
224
Maybe it's a concert, a meeting, some type of event.
225
People will gather together.
226
Number eight.
227
Ah, she's a musician.
228
A musical instrument played by hitting it.
229
So what is this musical instrument?
230
What do we call it?
231
We call it a drum.
232
That's very easy.
233
It's a drum.
234
Now, we saw this before, and I've just explained it.
235
We used this word at the beginning of the lesson.
236
Do you remember?
237
When the moon is in the sky, lights up the sky.
238
Sorry, that's an Italian song.
239
I'm sorry.
240
When the moon is between the sun and the earth.
241
So when the moon is between the earth and the sun, the moon comes between and it blocks the sun.
242
That's a word we used before, blocks the sun.
243
Of course we call that an eclipse.
244
An eclipse is when the moon is between the sun and the earth.
245
Ten.
246
Scared.
247
Somebody who's scared.
248
Another word for scared very easily is afraid.
249
Scared.
250
Afraid.
251
I am afraid.
252
I am scared.
253
Same thing.
254
Before, when we saw the picture of the demon, right there, I was scared.
255
I was afraid.
256
But just for a second, don't worry.
257
Demons aren't real.
258
Okay.
259
11. When I saw this picture, I'm like, what is that father doing?
260
That's really, really foolish.
261
Now, the word is silly.
262
I could also say, you know, that's really stupid.
263
My gosh, this father, what is he doing?
264
That's so, that's terrible.
265
It's foolish, it's silly, it's really stupid.
266
I mean, this boy or girl, I don't know which, it's very possible she or he will get hurt, right?
267
So it's very foolish, very dumb thing to do.
268
Another word is dumb.
269
I think in, oops, dump, dumb.
270
I think in Korean, it's B, not P, dumb.
271
I hope I'm not dumb.
272
But in Korean, you say pabo, right?
273
Pabo.
274
Foolish, silly, stupid, or dumb.
275
Oh my gosh, he scared me for a minute.
276
What's he doing?
277
He looks like he is what?
278
He wants something to eat.
279
He is hungry.
280
Although he kind of looks more angry than he looks hungry.
281
But he's really, really hungry.
282
He's very fierce about his hunger.
283
He wants something to eat.
284
He is hungry.
285
Okay, what's going on here?
286
What we're looking at is to hit the hands together to make a noise.
287
So we're looking at this action right here.
288
Not this action, not anything going on here, but we're looking at this action right here.
289
To hit the hands together to make noise.
290
What am I doing?
291
I am clapping.
292
He is clapping.
293
So when you go to the theater or if you see a play by other students,
294
and wow you want to show hey good job then you clap right good job so clap for the people.
295
this is interesting are you hungry hopefully not like
296
that guy we saw before
297
but this makes me hungry you know i like apples probably you like apples too
298
but we can see something interesting here we can see many
299
many green apples right there's one red apple almost all of something
300
so almost all the apples are green one apple is red we can say also most most of the apples are green,
301
but not all, not all of the apples, because there's one apple that's red.
302
And it doesn't matter if it was one or two, maybe two apples are red.
303
We can still say most of the apples are green, because there's still many, many more green apples than there are red.
304
Even if there's one, two, maybe this one's red, and this one's red, still, you still have many more green apples,
305
so most of the apples are green.
306
Most.
307
Okay.
308
Fifteen, a very beautiful town.
309
Looks like it's in Europe, and I just said the word.
310
A place larger than a village.
311
A village is chagging, right?
312
Just a few houses together.
313
It's just a small place where people live.
314
You know, a few houses together, maybe, you know, 20 families or something like that not very big.
315
A city is huge like Seoul or Pusan, right?
316
Very big.
317
Many people live there.
318
But what's in between?
319
Not as big as Seoul, not as small as a tiny village, but in between, middle size, in the middle.
320
We say it's a town.
321
So a town is a place larger than a village, but smaller than a city.
322
Okay.
323
16. Well, these kids are having fun, aren't they?
324
To say something in a loud voice.
325
These kids like to rah, right?
326
What are they doing?
327
They are shouting, to shout.
328
To say something in a loud voice is to shout.
329
Okay, that wraps up the words.
330
Let's take a look at some exercises that we can use to remember these words.
331
Okay, how well do you remember the words?
332
We have four words here what we need to do is write the word next to its meaning.
333
So we have the definitions here, the meanings, and these are the words that we have to write in these blanks to match them with their meanings.
334
The words are disappear, disappear,
335
explain, explain, forever, forever, and evil, evil.
336
No. Okay.
337

342
It disappeared.
343
Okay? To disappear.
344

347
There's no end.
348
I don't see any end.
349
It is forever.
350
Forever.
351
Number three, to make the meaning clear.
352
So you want to make the meaning of something clear.
353
You're going to talk to another person or other people and you're going to make them understand the meaning of something, you are explaining.
354
Please explain this to them.
355
Not explain about.
356
Explain this to them.
357
Just explain.
358
Four, bad, wicked, or harmful.
359
Something that is bad, wicked, or harmful.
360

361
Something that is evil.
362
It's bad, it's wicked or it's harmful.
363
Okay, guess what?
364
Hey, we have another exercise for you.
365
So in this exercise, we need to write a word from the box under each clue.
366
Clue.
367
These are the clues that we have that go with these words.
368
It's not really matching with the definitions because they don't define these words,
369
but it's kind of like a hint or a clue that lets you know what the word is.
370
Let's take a look.
371
The words are, again, we see disappear, disappear.
372
Well, it's a new one now.
373
Gather, gather.
374
Forever, forever.
375
Demon, demon.
376
And drum, drum.
377
Okay, number one, I'm bad and scary.
378

379
Remember that picture I saw that I was very scared at the beginning, but then I realized they aren't real.
380
But what are they?
381
Of course, they are demons.
382
Demon.
383
Two, bring them all to one place.
384
You bring something together to one place.
385
And either it could be things like paper, plastic, or it could be people.
386
People all call.
387
come to one place.
388
What's going on?
389
They're gathering, to gather.
390

405
You hit something to make music.
406
It's an instrument.
407
It is a drum you hit a drum to make music it's a musical instrument it's a drum okay well
408
that wraps it up for the vocabulary section you hopefully you
409
you've learned some new words we're gonna use these words after
410
the break to take a look at a reading passage about eclipses
411
so come back soon see you soon okay welcome back let's go over the reading passage together
412
and the reading passage of course, is talking about eclipses.
413
So it starts off with a question.
414
Many reading passages start with questions asking you if you know about the subject of the reading passage, like this one.
415
Do you know what an eclipse is?
416
So first of all, we're looking at the subject and the author is asking the reader a question.
417
What do you know about this subject?
418
Of course, the author doesn't expect you to answer because you're reading it, the author isn't there.
419
It's just a question to get you to think about the subject.
420
Do you know what an eclipse is?
421
And then of course, after this question, when we're reading, we can expect to see the answer right away.
422
An eclipse is, it's an an eclipse, it's when the moon blocks the sun.
423
So an eclipse is when the moon blocks the sun.
424
Very simple definition.
425
Maybe, maybe, we're not sure, but maybe, probably, because eclipses happen quite often,
426
maybe you've seen one before.
427
The sky, the earth, everything becomes dark, right?
428
The sky becomes dark, the earth becomes dark, everything becomes dark because the moon is blocking the sun's light.
429
So if you see a full eclipse, remember I taught you about a full eclipse, everything becomes really dark and it could be a little scary, right?
430
Well, today we know a lot about eclipses and that's today, right?
431
Today we We know many things about the earth, about the sun, the other planets.
432
We know about our moon.
433
Hey, people have even been to the moon and come back.
434
We know a lot about these things today.
435
We know about eclipses today.
436
We know most eclipses, most of them, them refer back to eclipses, last for just a few minutes.
437
We know that we know the eclipse will only last for how long will the eclipse be?
438
It will only last for a few minutes, maybe two minutes, three minutes, not very long.
439
We even know, so we know how long they will last, but we even know when they will happen.
440
We can predict because we know how fast the moon is traveling.
441
We know how fast the Earth is moving, we know where the sun is.
442
We know all these things today because scientists have studied these things
443
and they can tell us when eclipses will happen and they are very accurate.
444
They know down to the day, to the hour, to the minute when an eclipse will happen
445
and where on Earth you have to be to see the full eclipse.
446
But here Here we have a break.
447
See, all of this is talking about today, after the break here, but long ago, in the past.
448
People didn't know these things.
449
They didn't know that they'd lasted for a few minutes.
450
They didn't know when eclipses would happen.
451
This is a long time ago.
452
And so, because they didn't know, they were afraid of eclipses.
453
Imagine that.
454
A long time ago, people didn't know much about the moon or the sun.
455
They thought the sun went around the earth. But they didn't know.
456
We can't really blame them.
457
They didn't know.
458
When all of a sudden the moon, an eclipse happened, everything got dark and they didn't know why, so they were afraid, they become scared.
459
Many people thought they, they refers to eclipses, many people thought eclipses were evil,
460
they were bad, they could cause harm, without the sun there would be no food.
461
That's evil, right?
462
They thought the sun disappeared.
463
Oh my gosh, we can't grow food.
464
Everybody is going to die.
465
That's very harmful.
466
That's very dangerous.
467
It's evil, right?
468
Maybe some evil force is causing this.
469
Somebody is trying to hurt us.
470
The sun gives us light and makes plants grow.
471
So when the sun disappeared, people got scared.
472
The sun disappeared, there's no light, plants can't grow, oh my gosh, it's the end of the world, right?
473
That's what people thought.
474
They got very scared.
475
So, people didn't know what was going on.
476
All they knew was that they got scared and there was no light.
477
So, people have good imaginations, right?
478
So, with your imagination, you can make stories stories.
479
Many people made stories.
480
They made stories to explain why the sun was disappearing.
481
Stories were told.
482
Who told them?
483
Many people.
484
It doesn't say.
485
It just says stories were told.
486
Why? To explain.
487
To explain what?
488
Why the sun was disappearing.
489
Some people told stories.
490
Why did they tell stories? To explain.
491
To explain what?
492
Why the sun was disappearing.
493
Because nobody knew.
494
They had to tell stories.
495
They couldn't find out for real, they just told stories.
496
Some people telling the stories said a hungry demon in the sky was eating the sun.
497
Wow, that must be a really big demon, right?
498
But they didn't know how big the sun was.
499
The sun didn't look very big, it was just small up in the sky.
500
Imagine if that was true.
501
So the author is asking, imagine if a demon was actually eating the sun.
502
Wow, that's pretty crazy.
503
That would be the end of the world.
504
So people said it's a demon that eats the sun.
505
How did they explain when the sun came back?
506
Maybe the demon will bite?
507
I don't know, but that's what the story was.
508
Every town, every town had a different story.
509
Of course, a long time ago, there were more towns.
510
There weren't that many big cities, right?
511
Most people lived on farms, in villages, and in towns, and in each town, in each area,
512
the people had a different story to explain what was going on.
513
Some towns thought an animal was blocking the sun, right?
514
So some towns, in some towns, they thought an animal.
515
I don't know what kind of animal could be in the sky, but they thought it was some animal up in the air was blocking the sun.
516
They're kind of close, right?
517
It wasn't an animal.
518
It was a moon, but you know, they didn't know.
519
But anyway, they thought it was blocking the sun.
520
So what would they do?
521
They would even try to scare it.
522
Scare it?
523
Scare the animal.
524
To scare the animal into leaving, right?
525
So if it's an animal, you know, these are townspeople.
526
Their experiences with farm animals or wild animals, they know animals can be scared if you make a lot of noise.
527
So what they would do, they would all gather, get together to sing and shout at the eclipse.
528
So they would get together to sing and shout, make a lot of noise, because they thought if we make a lot of noise,
529
the animal will get scared and get out of the way of the Sun.
530
It's they would do these things.
531
By the way, we're using would, would.
532
You notice that we're using would a lot because we're talking about what people did in the past.
533
In this case, we could even use used to because it's what they did in the past, but they don't do it now.
534
They don't do this now because we know better, but a long time ago,
535
they would do this okay they would or they used to sing and shout at the Sun They banged drums,
536
banged is the same as hit, they banged drums and clapped their hands too.
537
So they sang, they shouted, hey, they hit drums, banged drums and they clapped their hands.
538
Maybe some people were not good at singing, like me, I would probably just clap my hands.
539
Maybe though if I sang, the animal really would be afraid.
540
Okay, so, but basically they thought that loud noises would make the animal go away.
541
What were the loud noises?
542
We can see gathered together singing, shouting, banging drums, and clapping their hands.
543
These are all the loud noises that they made.
544
They thought these loud noises would make the animal go away.
545
Get out of there.
546
Okay, shouting at the sun may seem silly to us now, right?
547
Nowadays, of course, shouting at the sun is silly.
548
If you go outside and go, hey, sun, what are you doing?
549
People around you think, well, you're crazy.
550
You're silly.
551
What are you doing?
552
The sun's not going to do anything.
553
Or if there's an eclipse and you shout, it was like, what are you shouting at the moon for?
554
The moon can't hear you.
555
So it seems silly to do that now.
556
But long ago, people thought it was the only way to get the sun back.
557
So they were afraid.
558
The sun disappeared.
559
So they shouted.
560
They didn't know.
561
They just did something.
562
And the sun came back.
563
They thought, it worked.
564
So every time that they shouted, the sun came back.
565
So they're going to keep shouting.
566
Right?
567
It's kind of funny.
568
They were afraid it might be dark forever.
569
It might be dark forever.
570
The sun's gone.
571
Oh my gosh, what happens if it's dark forever?
572
Let's shout at the animal or whatever it is that's blocking the sun and it will go away.
573
So it's kind of funny to think about what people thought a long time ago because people didn't know about the world.
574
They didn't have a very good scientific knowledge about what was going on.
575
And by the way, this is a good picture to look at.
576
You see, these kids are looking at the solar eclipse or the eclipse and they're wearing special glasses.
577
This is very important.
578
Again, I'll say it again.
579
Don't look at an eclipse without special equipment covering your eyes or protecting your eyes.
580
You must protect your eyes.
581
Don't look at the sun with just your eyes or just normal glasses.
582
Don't do that.
583
Use special glasses or you can look at the sun or see the shadow that's made as the eclipse happens.
584
That's the best way to look at an eclipse.
585
They're very interesting, very amazing things, but we know what they really are now.
586
Let's talk about the comprehension questions.
587
Number one, this story is about what?
588
What was this entire story about?
589
A. Demons.
590
B. Banging drums.
591
C. Eclipses.
592
D. Shadows.
593
This story is about demons.
594
We heard about a demon that was one possible explanation people a long time ago had for the eclipse,
595
that a demon was eating the son, but that was just one little part of the story.
596
We weren't talking about demons, the whole story wasn't telling us details about demons.
597
B, banging drums.
598
Again, the story just mentioned banging drums as a way that people used to try to get their son back, right?
599
But it wasn't the whole story.
600
This story was not about drums and playing drums and how to bang drums, no. No, we didn't hear all those details.
601
We just heard the fact that drums were used for something else.
602
This whole story was about eclipses?
603
Yes, that's the answer, right?
604
Because we're talking about eclipses, what they are, what people a long time ago thought they were
605
and what they did to get out of an eclipse or to make the eclipse stop.
606
So the story is about eclipses.
607
Not about shadows, right?
608
We don't really talk about shadows at all in the story, just when the moon shadow is over the earth.
609
But the passage really didn't mention that, okay?
610
So that's not the answer.
611
Of course, it's not the answer.
612
The whole story was about eclipses.
613
Okay, number two.
614
During an eclipse.
615
This means during the time of an eclipse.
616
Remember, eclipses last about two or three minutes, right?
617
So during that time.
618
That's a little bit of time, something, other things can happen.
619
During an eclipse, A, the sun blocks the moon.
620
B, all the shadows get bigger.
621
C, the moon blocks the sun.
622
D, a demon eats the sun.
623
D, no, I hope you didn't choose that, right?
624
Absolutely not.
625
We don't live 300, 400 years ago, right?
626
We live today.
627
We know demons don't exist.
628
They're not real and demons don't eat the sun.
629
We know that, okay.
630
Basically, what we need to look at is what happens during the eclipse?
631
What is causing the eclipse?
632
Is it that the sun blocks the moon?
633
That would mean that, I need three objects here.
634
Let's say this is the earth, this is the sun, and this is the moon.
635
That means the sun comes and blocks the moon?
636
Think about that.
637
If that happened, if the sun got between the earth and the moon, we would all die.
638
The sun is too big the sun would cover the earth and the moon would be inside the sun.
639
So, A obviously is incorrect.
640
Thank goodness that never happens because we would all burn to death.
641
Okay.
642
B, all the shadows get bigger?
643
No. But this one, the moon blocks the sun.
644
Okay, now this is the moon, this is the earth, and this is the sun.
645
Yes, the moon comes between because there's a lot of space, right?
646
The moon goes around the earth, the sun is actually way out here, right?
647
And the moon blocks the sun.
648
Okay, so that's the right answer, C.
649
During an eclipse, the moon blocks the sun, not the sun blocks the moon.
650
That's very dangerous.
651
Okay.
652
Three.
653
Long ago, people beep when there was an eclipse.
654
What did people do during an eclipse a long time ago?
655
Did they dance?
656
The passage didn't mention anything about dancing.
657
They were silent.
658
They all kept quiet.
659
The passage didn't say anything about keeping quiet, so that's not the correct answer.
660
They slept.
661
Oh, there's an eclipse.
662
Time to go to bed.
663
No, the passage didn't say that.
664
And D, sang and shouted.
665
That's what they did.
666
They wanted to make noise.
667
So long ago, people sang and shouted when there was an eclipse
668
because they wanted to make a lot of noise to scare away that animal that was blocking the sun.
669
They thought the animal was blocking the sun.
670
So they sang and shouted.
671
They made a lot of loud noises.
672
Okay, number four.
673
There would be no what without the sun.
674
And we have no, no, no, no. So what would be absent?
675
But what would be gone if the sun wasn't there?
676
There would be no moon, there would be no food, there would be no earth, or there would be no water.
677
Which is the correct answer?
678
A. There would be no moon without the sun. That doesn't make sense.
679
If the sun was gone, the moon would still be there, so that's not the right answer.
680
There would be no food without the sun.
681
Okay, that's what the passage specifically said.
682
The passage said that without the sun, plants can't grow.
683
And as we know, if plants can't grow, there's going to be no vegetables, no fruits.
684
Other animals that eat plants, they would die.
685
So, when we eat those animals, there would be no food.
686
There would be no food without the sun.
687
Not no earth, right?
688
That's not what the passage said.
689
And no water, they didn't say that either.
690
The right answer is no food.
691
There would be no food without the sun.
692
So thankfully, eclipses only last for a few minutes.
693
Okay, this is an eclipse again.
694
Looks like the moon is either coming in or leaving the sun.
695
Eclipses are really amazing things to look at.
696
If you do get a chance, go see an eclipse.
697
Very amazing.
698
But again, be careful about how you look at the eclipse.
699
Let's look at some interesting ideas about eclipses.
700
An eclipse, as we know, is when the moon blocks the sun.
701
This is the moon.
702
It looks like a shadow, but we can't really see the moon normally, but when it gets between the sun, it's blocking the sun.
703
Then we can see it.
704
What else?
705
Many people thought that eclipses, they, meaning eclipses, many people thought they were evil, that eclipses were evil.
706
They would cause harm to people.
707
Every town had a different story.
708
And of course, this is a long time ago.
709
We didn't have newspapers or telephones or television, right?
710
People had different stories in different towns about why this was happening.
711
And finally, the townspeople would gather to sing and shout at the eclipse, right?
712
That's what they would do a long time ago because they didn't understand what was going on.
713
They thought this was an animal blocking the sun.
714
So let's make loud noises, the animal will go away.
715
Well, thankfully we live in a time where we know a lot more about the earth, the moon, the sun.
716
We know a lot about other things too, our own bodies, many things on earth that happen.
717
We know why.
718
We know a lot about why things occur.
719
We don't have to live in a time where people believed in stories, made up stories or demons or evil things like that.
720
We live in a time where we can explain most of those things
721
and we can use our logic and reasoning to understand why things happen
722
so we won't be foolish running around shouting at the sun and clapping for imaginary animals to get out of the way.
723
So that's kind of funny.
724
So it's good to be living in these times to know more about what we're doing.
725
But anyway, this is interesting.
726
I hope you've learned a little bit about the world too as you studied this lesson
727
so you know next time there's an eclipse, You don't have to go outside and shout and sing and clap and bang a drum.
728
Just look at it.
729
Be amazed at this amazing happening that's going on in nature.
730
Okay, well, we'll see you guys next time.
731
Take care, everybody.

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。
