6 Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com Hello.
2
This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Phil.
4
And I'm Pippa.
5
If you've eaten anything today, then it's likely that some of your food was ultra-processed.
6
Food containing artificial ingredients like additives and sweeteners.
7
ultra-processed foods are everywhere, from sliced bread to chocolate biscuits and crisps.
8
They might taste good, but the bad news is that ultra-processed foods have been linked to poor health.
9
They often contain lots of sugar and salt, and have been linked to problems like obesity and diabetes.
10
So how can we tell what food is ultra-processed and what's not?
11
Here's health reporter Annabelle Rackham on BBC World Service programme What in the World?
12
Ultra-processed foods are things that contain five or more ingredients and things that you wouldn't find in your average kitchen.
13
It's going to have things on there like emulsifiers, preservatives, additives, dyes and sweeteners.
14
Annabelle describes ultra-processed foods as things containing ingredients you wouldn't find in your kitchen.
15
Do you eat much ultra-processed food, Pippa, or do you try to avoid it?
16
I used to eat a lot of ultra processed foods and now I try to cook everything myself and not eat things like chocolate and snacks all day.
17
How about you?
18
I think the same.
19
I tried to cook things using just your normal ingredients, just so you know what's gone into it.
20
In this episode, we'll be discussing ultra-processed food, as well as learning some useful new vocabulary.
21
And remember, there's also a quiz and worksheet available on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
22
But now I have a question for you, Pippa.
23
Fizzy drinks like cola and lemonade are another example of popular ultra-processed foods.
24
But when were fizzy drinks invented?
25
Was it A.
26
1772, B.
27
1872 or C.
28
1972?
29
Well, I think it was before 1972, but 1772 sounds like too early.
30
So I'm going to say B, 1872.
31
We'll find out the answer at the end of the programme.
32
One reason for the popularity of ultra-processed food is convenience.
33
Let's hear more from health reporter Annabelle, who talks here with Hannah Gelbart, presenter of BBC World Service's What in the World?
34
So I do think convenience is the main issue there.
35
And again, with a ready meal, you put it in the microwave for a couple of minutes, it's done, it's hot, it's served to you.
36
Whereas, you know, sometimes cooking a fresh meal from scratch, that can take a really long time.
37
What's your ultra-processed, guilty food?
38
I'm a chocolate girl.
39
A packet of biscuits, something like that.
40
A cake.
41
That is my guilty pleasure.
42
Ultra-processed foods, like ready meals, are convenient.
43
A ready meal is a meal from a supermarket that has already been prepared and can be heated up quickly in a microwave.
44
That's a lot quicker and easier than cooking from scratch – an idiom meaning to do something from the very beginning without using anything that's already been made.
45
Even though ultra-processed foods are often unhealthy, they taste good.
46
That's why Annabelle calls chocolate her guilty pleasure.
47
A guilty pleasure is something you enjoy but think you shouldn't and feel a little embarrassed about.
48
Ultra-processed food is a tricky topic.
49
We know these foods have been linked to poor health, but at the same time they're cheap, convenient and taste good.
50
So what should we do?
51
Here's Hannah and Annabelle discussing this for BBC programme What in the World?
52
Is it OK for me to have a packet of crisps once in a while?
53
Should we be cutting ultra-processed foods out of our diets completely, or is there a way for us to still enjoy them from time to time?
54
I think the best thing to do is just not to panic.
55
Everything is fine in moderation.
56
Hannah asks if it's OK to eat ultra-processed foods once in a while or from time to time.
57
The phrases once in a while and from time to time mean occasionally.
58
Sometimes, but not very often.
59
Annabel replies using the phrase everything in moderation, which advises us that it's best to avoid too much of anything.
60
That sounds sensible to me, and it also means I won't feel bad about eating chocolate now and then.
61
OK Pippa, it's time to reveal the answer to my question.
62
Now, I asked you when fizzy drinks were invented.
63
You said 1872.
64
I'm afraid the correct answer was 1772.
65
Apparently carbonated water was used to try to prevent scurvy on sea voyages.
66
Wow, that is amazing.
67
I wouldn't have thought it was that long ago.
68
Right, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned, starting with ready meal, a meal from a supermarket that has already been prepared so you can heat it up quickly.
69
If you do something from scratch, you do it from the very beginning, without using anything that's already been made.
70
A guilty pleasure is something you enjoy but feel guilty or embarrassed about because you think you shouldn't do it.
71
The phrases once in a while and from time to time mean occasionally, not very often.
72
And finally, the phrase everything in moderation is used to advise someone that it's best to avoid too much of anything.
73
Once again, our six minutes are up.
74
But if you're hungry for more, head over to our website bbclearningenglish.com for more tasty topics and useful vocabulary.
75
See you again soon, but for now, it's goodbye!
76
Bye!

练习建议
在观看或聆听本段内容时，尝试使用shadow speaks技术进行精确模仿。注意说话者的语速、语调和情感表达，以帮助您提高英语口语练习水平。您可以选择在每次听完一句话后，暂停片刻并跟随发音，特别是重读和句子间的停顿。这将有助于您更好地理解言语韵律，同时提升发音技巧，进而提高英语发音的准确性。
对于较快的语速，可以分段练习，将长句子拆解为小部分，这样容易模仿。此外，尝试反复听几次，直到您能够流利地重复。如果您是在准备雅思口语练习，请记得在每次练习中记录自己的发音，并与原音进行比较，从中寻找需要改进的地方。
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。
