Next, Rwanda says it's tightening screening on its border with the Democratic Republic of Congo
2
because of a deadly outbreak of the Ebola virus.
3
It comes as at least 80 people are thought to have died,
4
many of them in three areas across the north of the country.
5
A first case has also now been confirmed in the city of Goma,
6
close to the border with Rwanda.
7
The World Health Organization has declared this Ebola outbreak a public health emergency of international concern.
8
Let's speak to Thomas Mogwana now who's following the stories from Nairobi.
9
Thomas, good to see you.
10
We've been following these developments and it seems to get increasingly precarious there.
11
Yeah, you're right, you're right, Louis.
12
The Congolese government and the WHO have not updated us on the figures of people who are suspected to have the virus.
13
That still stands at 246.
14
and people who have so far passed away from the virus,
15
that stands at around 90 people.
16
But the concern is overnight that there was a case that was recorded in Goma,
17
which is in the border with,
18
between the border of DRC and Rwanda.
19
It's a very big city and a lot of people go there
20
and one case of a woman who traveled from the epicenter
21
of this current outbreak from Mituri province all the way to Goma was recorded with the disease.
22
Now the problem is Goma is not under the Congolese government's control,
23
which will bring up the bigger issue of conflict in this region.
24
That will make it harder for humanitarian organizations to get into these areas
25
and help people and try and curb the spread of this virus,
26
because M23, a rebel movement that is backed by Rwanda allegedly,
27
is present in Goma.
28
They're the ones issuing the updates there.
29
Kinshasa, one case was said to be there by WHO,
30
but results of tests later,
31
saying that it was a misreporting.
32
And in the eastern side of the epicenter of this current outbreak in Ituri province,
33
that's not even under parts of that region are not under the Congolese government's control.
34
It's under a jihadist movement called ADF.
35
So humanitarian organizations might have to face the problem of navigating within Congo to curb the spread of this virus
36
because of how disjointed the leadership is I'd given all those logistical
37
and governance problems what could actually be done
38
when the system is working to try and stop the spread firstly the WHO
39
So as soon as it declared this an international concern,
40
it sent over US$500,000 worth of emergency funding to respond to this crisis.
41
Organizations like Doctors Without Borders and other NGOs present around East Africa also responded by sending their experts over.
42
But more importantly, countries around DRC.
43
DRC has nine borders with different countries,
44
a border with Uganda and a border with South at the center of this current outbreak
45
because the Turi province is near those two borders.
46
Now, further in Kenya, the government of Kenya has tightened surveillance for the disease
47
and also border checks and ports of entries at airports and near the border with Uganda.
48
The Ugandan government that is directly involved in this crisis,
49
because one case was reported there after a death from Ebola,
50
that government has also announced the postponement of an annual pilgrimage,
51
because apparently a lot of Congolese citizens travel over to Uganda for that event.
52
The president of Uganda postponed that.
53
South Sudan is on high alert as well, same as Tanzania.
54
They've tightened border controls.
55
And Rwanda, which has also seen a case right across the border into DRC in Goma,
56
they've also tightened controls.
57
And according to some reports,
58
the Rwandese government has restricted movement into the country.
59
So that's the first line of defense for all these countries,
60
to try and control who gets into the country,
61
try and do temperature checks before anyone crosses into the border and hope that this doesn't cross over.
62
If this crosses over, the catastrophe could be massive.
63
The last time a big Ebola outbreak broke in West Africa,
64
it caused over 11,000 deaths.
65
Thomas, thank you for that.

为什么要利用这个视频来练习口语？
通过观看新闻报道，尤其是关于重要公共卫生事件的视频，学习者不仅可以提高他们的英语口语练习能力，还能了解全球时事。在这一视频中，关于刚果（金）的埃博拉疫情的讨论，为学习者提供了一个真实且紧迫的语境，使他们能够在实际情况下应用所学的英语技能。这样的练习不仅可以帮助学习者增强语言表达能力，还可以提升其听力理解能力，进一步加深对英语的运用。
语法与表达在语境中的分析
在视频中，讲者使用了多个关键的语法结构，这些结构在提高学习者的英语能力时极为重要：
- 被动语态：讲者提到“埃博拉疫情被宣布为国际关注的公共卫生紧急情况”，此句强调了事件的普遍性和重要性。
- 条件句：例如“如果情况恶化，可能会影响人道援助组织的工作”，这类句子帮助学习者理解潜在结果。
- 名词性短语：“公众健康紧急情况”，这种表达在正式场合中使用频繁，对提升词汇量极有帮助。
学习者可以通过看YouTube学英语，哼唱这些句子，增强记忆和理解。
常见的发音陷阱
在视听材料中，一些词语的发音可能会对学习者构成挑战。例如，“epicenter”（震中）和“contagious”（传染性），由于这些词的重复使用，容易让学习者忽略正确的发音方式。此类词汇与快速对话的结合，可能会造成发音不清晰的情况。

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。
