15
Alright, so let's get started with the first story.
16
This story begins on December 26th, 2004.
17
It was the day after Christmas.
18
And there was a 10 -year -old girl named Tilly Smith, and she was on vacation with her parents,
19
Penny and Colin Smith, along with her sister, Penny.
20
Holly Smith They're on vacation in Thailand at a place called Maikau Beach.
21
and this beach is beautiful, right?
22
The sun is shining, the sand is white, and the beach is a nice turquoise blue.
23
Everything looks really nice on that day because of the beautiful beach and the nice weather,
24
the Smith family decided to take a nice long walk on the beach in the morning.
25
But.. as they were walking along the beach Tilly looked at the ocean
26
and she noticed that something was different about the ocean.
27
when she looked at the water, it looked really frothy, like really bubbly.
28
Do you know when you wash dishes and you have all the bubbles from washing the dishes and the soap?
29
That's how the ocean looked.
30
There were all these bubbles.
31
in the water Not only that,
32
but the water was not calm as they thought it would be and I something really weird was that the tide
33
which usually comes in and out, right?
34
You're at a beach, the water comes in and out, but instead it just kept on going out.
35
Like it wasn't coming in.
36
The water had moved out out really far.
37
so far that you could actually see a lot of the sand that you usually would not be able to see.
38
So imagine you're walking along the beach and then you realize the water just isn't there anymore.
39
It moved way far back.
40
And not just that, but there's all these bubbles like someone was washing dishes in the ocean It looked really strange.
41
And when Tilly saw these signs, like the water far back and the bubbles,
42
she started to get really nervous.
43
The reason she started feeling nervous was because she remembered a lesson from her science class just a few weeks ago,
44
and in that lesson, the teacher was explaining what it meant when you saw these signs.
45
So because of this, Tilly starts getting scared and she goes to her parents and she tells them,
46
"We need to get off the beach right now.
47
This is really dangerous.
48
This is urgent.
49
We need to go." Tilly stayed calm, but she wanted her parents to know how serious this was.
50
But, you know, since she was a 10 -year -old girl, her parents were like, "Yeah,
51
okay, Tilly," and just kept on walking.
52
They ignored what she was saying at first.
53
Because of this, Tilly started becoming more hysterical,
54
like more panicked to the point that that she just sat down on the sand.
55
She wouldn't walk anymore.
56
And she just told her parents, like, please, we need to go.
57
I know.
58
what this means and it's not good.
59
So finally, her parents kind of started to listen.
60
Her mom kept walking.
61
However, her father, started to feel...
62
a little nervous and he said fine let's go back to the hotel and let's talk to the staff.
63
So then Tilly, with her father, went back to the hotel,
64
and they told a security guard about what Tilly was worried about.
65
They told him that...
66
You know, the signs on the beach of the bubbles in the water
67
and the water being really far back from the shore was a sign of something really bad.
68
What they said to the security guard was that there was going to be a tsunami.
69
At that time, there was actually a Japanese guy who was right there while they were talking to the security guard.
70
Tsunami is a Japanese word, and that Japanese guy knew what it meant.
71
And he said, "Actually, yeah, there was an earthquake in Sumatra not long ago,
72
so your daughter is probably right." So then people finally started to take Tilly seriously.
73
The security guard went out to the beach and he started waving the people to come back to the hotel to safety.
74
Because of that, they were able to evacuate dozens of people from the beach.
75
Not only that, but Tilly's father also ran back to get his wife and her sister.
76
And he told them, like, get back here, get back here.
77
There's a tsunami coming.
78
So luckily, the family was able to make it to the second floor of the hotel when the tsunami hit.
79
When the tsunami hit, it was huge.
80
They described it as a wall of water 30 feet high.
81
As you may know, a tsunami is a giant wave, basically, right?
82
And so that giant wave, that tsunami, crashed into the hotel
83
and destroyed everything in its path the family was able to get to the second floor
84
and go out on the balcony to see the wave basically destroy everything that was around them.
85
So just a few minutes before that, you had a nice beach that was calm, you know, tourists walking around,
86
relaxing, taking photos, and then just minutes later, Everything was gone.
87
Everything was swept away.
88
the area was completely flooded, full of debris.
89
and debris is just things, right?
90
It could be beach chairs, it could be umbrellas.
91
The whole area was destroyed in just seconds.
92
Now you may know about this tsunami.
93
It was a really devastating natural disaster.
94
It took about 230 ,000 lives across a few different countries in Southeast Asia.
95
And in Thailand alone, there were around 5 ,000 fatalities. But...
96
The amazing thing is that on Maikau Beach, which was the beach that Tilly and her family were on,
97
There were some injuries, but there were no fatalities.
98
No one passed away because of what Tilly did.
99
After the tsunami happened, of course, the aftermath was really bad.
100
They had tons of cleanup to do.
101
Water was contaminated.
102
Many people were left homeless.
103
The bright side is that on that beach, "No one passed away." So after this happened,
104
the story of Tilly became quite famous
105
and she was called the Angel of the Beach by the news outlets basically across the world.
106
her parents in interviews later on said that they were convinced they would have
107
passed away if Tilly wasn't there to warn them.
108
and likely many other people on the beach would have passed away as well because before it happened,
109
No one had any idea.
110
all the tourists were just walking around and some even thought it was insane interesting that, oh, look like the water.
111
Moved back.
112
Huh.
113
That's cool.
114
And you know, they would be walking around, maybe picking up shells or taking photos of this strange phenomenon.
115
And so if Tilly wasn't there to warn everyone, then it likely would have been much worse.
116
Since this event, many countries have installed more systems to be able to detect when a tsunami is coming,
117
and hopefully that will help prevent devastating deaths.
118
natural disasters like this in the future.
119
- Thank you.

134
Okay, now let's talk about Typhoon Yagi.
135
So as many of you may know, Typhoon Yagi was one of the worst storms of 2024.
136
This storm started near an island called Palau on August 31st, 2024.
137
and Palau is around 2 ,200 kilometers from Vietnam.
138
when this storm started, It was...
139
Of course, just a small storm.
140
But as it went over warm ocean water,
141
it started to become more powerful to the point where it became more what they call a super typhoon.
142
And at this point, it had winds blowing at...
143
around 260 kilometers per hour.
144
And that's really fast.
145
So, You may have heard a few different words like, Typhoon Hurricane, and Cyclone.
146
All of these words are essentially the same thing.
147
They're all big spinning storms.
148
But the difference between them is just where they happen.
149
So for example, A typhoon normally happens around Asia,
150
whereas a hurricane happens in around North America,
151
and a cyclone happens near Australia.
152
The only difference is where they are, but they're all the same thing, just big.
153
spinning storms that form over warm ocean water.
154
Okay, so back to Typhoon Yegi.
155
After it left Palau, it first hit the Philippines.
156
And in the Philippines, it caused a lot of flooding.
157
And then after it passed the Philippines, it hit China.
158
where it destroyed a ton of buildings because of the really strong winds.
159
And then after that, it started to make its way towards Vietnam.
160
And the day that it hit Vietnam was on September 7th.
161
This storm was Crazy.
162
because it had the fastest winds ever recorded on land in Vietnam.
163
Now, luckily...
164
Before the storm came, Vietnam was able to evacuate a lot of people from the northern coastal areas.
165
Specifically, they evacuated around 50 ,000 people.
166
And when this storm hit Vietnam, it caused a lot of damage not only because of the strong winds,
167
but there was a lot of heavy rain as well.
168
This heavy rain caused a lot of landslides, and as the word sounds,
169
a landslide is when dirt and rocks slides down a hill or a mountain because of the heavy rain.
170
And obviously, this disaster can be very dangerous.
171
There was also a lot of flooding and there were many power outages in many different areas.
172
A power outage is when you lose electricity.
173
You lose power somewhere.
174
There were also over 100 ,000 trees that were knocked down.
175
from the strong winds.
176
I don't know if you guys live in the north in Vietnam, but I remember going outside after the storm.
177
And just seeing trees everywhere.
178
Like the whole...
179
street, every street looked completely different.
180
Because there used to be all these trees there and suddenly they were just gone.
181
To me, it was a really surreal experience to go outside and just see trees literally going across the street.
182
But the great thing is, is that, you know, many people were able to help to clean it up and to get them out of the way.
183
So apart from the trees, there were also around 280 ,000 hectares of crops that were damaged.
184
And crops are plants that you can grow to eat, like rice, for example.
185
As I mentioned before, there were a ton of rescue efforts.
186
There were volunteers, local authorities, rescue teams, and the People's Army of Vietnam.
187
Everybody basically came together to help clean things up and to help rescue people who may have been trapped by the landslides. from the storm.
188
And that's one thing that I think is amazing about Vietnam is the sense of community, right? right?
189
Like something like this happens and the people get together to help each other.
190
And yeah, I think that's one of the really fantastic things about Vietnam is that sense of community.
191
So, as for the aftermath of the storm,
192
It was one of the most expensive storms in America.
193
Vietnam's history.
194
The damage was around 83 trillion Vietnamese dong which in US dollars is about 3 .45 billion US dollars.
195
countries also sent aid to help Vietnam.
196
The US sent around one million dollars and Australia sent about two million dollars.
197
So all these things help, of course.
198
All in all, it was a really devastating storm.
199
And to this day, people in some areas are still rebuilding
200
their homes and the areas that they live in that were destroyed by the storm.
201
Now, As for a personal story for you guys about the storm, I live in Hanoi.
202
So this was...
203
Definitely.
204
the first and the worst story.
205
storm I've ever experienced in Canada.
206
We had an ice storm, which was a really bad ice storm.
207
Like there was a lot of snow and there were power outages.
208
Even my house, we had, we lost power and there was ice everywhere.
209
Trees fell down and all that stuff.
210
But I was only six years old.
211
So I didn't really care.
212
Right.
213
To me, oh, it's a storm.
214
Okay.
215
I can stay inside and, you know, play with my Lego or something like that.
216
But this, was the worst storm I've ever experienced.
217
I just stayed in my apartment and kept all the doors shut and just
218
waited for it to end and I feel really lucky that My whole area,
219
no one around me got hurt or anything.
220
Nothing was damaged too much.
221
But yeah, it was quite a crazy storm.
222
So yeah, guys, normally I like to make the podcast, you know, light and happy.
223
But this topic was...
224
you know, It's about natural disasters, so it's hard to be to have a happy natural disaster story.
225
But I hope you enjoyed it.
226
I hope you learned a lot of words.

为什么通过这个视频练习口语？
在学习英语的过程中，通过真实的故事来练习口语是非常有效的方法。《Podcast Chậm Rãi - Cô Bé Này Đã Dự Đoán Thảm Họa》这段视频不仅讲述了一个让人印象深刻的真实故事，还为学习者提供了丰富的语言素材。通过模仿视频中讲述者的语音和语调，学习者能够提高英语发音，增强口语表达能力。在这个视频里，您可以听到关于自然灾害的相关词汇和短语，这对在实际生活中进行沟通是十分有帮助的。通过理解故事情节，您也能更好地记住这些新的词汇。
语法与表达在语境中的应用
视频中有多个关键的语法结构和表达方式，帮助学习者更好地理解英语。以下是几个例子：
- 过去时态的使用：讲述故事时，多数情况下使用过去时态，这有助于学习者了解如何描述曾经发生的事情。
- 条件句：句子如“如果我们不离开，可能会有危险”，帮助学习者理解条件句的构造，掌握表达假设情况的方式。
- 直接引语：在视频中，家长与孩子之间的对话展示了口语交流中的自然对话形式，学习者可以通过模仿提高英语口语练习的流利度。
常见发音陷阱
在练习英语口语时，发音可能是学习者面对的一个重大挑战。在这段视频中，有几个词汇值得关注：
- Tsunami（海啸）：这个词的发音常常会让非母语者感到困惑。正确的发音是 /tsuːˈnɑːmi/。
- Predicted（预测）：这个词在快速说话时可能会被发音不清，建议慢慢分解为 /prɪˈdɪktɪd/。
- Evacuate（疏散）：注意元音的发音，确保清晰表达 /ɪˈvækjueɪt/。
通过鼓励学习者在看YouTube学英语的同时进行重复练习，可以帮助学生克服这些发音难点，更加自信地进行口语交流。利用“shadowspeak”，学生能有效提高自己的发音技巧，陪伴自己在英语学习的旅程中取得更大的成就。
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 |
|---|---|
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的 | was swept · was destroyed · was contaminated |
| 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 | have installed · I've also included · I've ever experienced |
| 定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物 | guy who was · Beach, which was · people who may |
| 过去进行时 was/were + -ing — 过去某一时刻正在进行的动作 | were walking · wasn't coming · was washing |
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。
