The price of vaccines has escalated and some poor countries are struggling prevent children from catching certain life-threatening diseases. The warning comes from the organisation Medecins Sans Frontieres. It criticises the drug companies which reply that they can’t make such complex medicine cheaper than they already do. Rob and Neil talk about the price of vaccines. Listen to their conversation and learn some new vocabulary.
Link: https://youtu.be/HflTQkZc5iM

0:07 Today we’re going to talk about the cost of keeping people healthy.
0:10 The price of life-saving vaccines has escalated – has gone up - and some of the world’s
0:15 poorer countries are struggling to immunise children – to immunise, in other words,
0:19 to prevent children from catching diseases.
0:22 Yes, the organisation Medecins Sans Frontieres is criticising the pharmaceutical companies
0:27 which produce the vaccines.
0:29 Medecins Sans Frontieres is a well-known charity– a charity is an organisation set up to help
0:35 and raise money for people in need.
0:37 We’re going to talk about the cost of vaccines and you’ll learn some words you can use
0:42 to discuss the topic yourself or to follow the news.
0:46 But first, a question, Neil.
0:47 Yes?
0:48 The first laboratory-developed vaccine was produced in 1879.
0:52 The vaccine was against an animal disease called chicken cholera.
0:56 Who was the scientist behind it?
0:58 Was it… a) Alexander Fleming
1:00 b) Albert Sabin c) Louis Pasteur
1:04 Well, I don’t know, but I’m going to guess.
1:07 Probably not (a) because Fleming discovered penicillin.
1:10 Probably not (c) because Pasteur did pasteurisation.
1:14 I’m gonna go for (b).
1:16 OK.
1:17 It sounds like you know your vaccines.
1:18 Well, we'll have the answer to that question at the end of the programme.
1:22 Now, let’s talk about the controversy behind these life-saving vaccines.
1:27 On one side we have a charity and on the other side, the drug companies.
1:31 Which vaccines are they talking about?
1:32 Well, they’re talking about vaccines which prevent diseases such as tuberculosis, measles,
1:39 diphtheria and polio.
1:41 According to Medecins Sans Frontieres, between 2001 and 2014 there was a 68-fold increase
1:48 in vaccine prices.
1:49 Well, that is a lot!
1:51 It certainly is.
1:52 And the group says that there are particular cases in which rich western countries are
1:57 actually getting vaccines at a cheaper rate than poorer countries.
2:01 That’s what Medecins Sans Frontieres says, and they’re asking for more transparency
2:06 around prices.
2:08 Transparency means clarity, something done in an open way, without secrets.
2:12 Yes, they want to know the cost of the vaccines.
2:15 Let’s hear what Rohit Malpani from Medecins Sans Frontieres has to say.
2:20 See if you can spot the expression Malpani uses to describe how high the price of the
2:25 vaccine is for some countries.
2:28 This is all a black box.
2:29 It’s a black box in terms of the price they are charging to most countries around the
2:33 world so they’re often charging prices that are wildly out of proportion with their ability
2:37 to pay.
2:38 You have Morocco and Tunisia that now are paying higher prices than France for the pneumococcal
2:42 vaccine.
2:43 We also simply do not know the cost of production and if GlaxoSmithKline says that it costs
2:48 more than we are saying it does, then they should simply submit to some sort of audit
2:52 to ensure that we can verify the cost of production.
2:56 The expression which describes the relationship between the price asked and the ability to
3:00 pay is ‘out of proportion’.
3:03 It means it’s unrealistic or exaggerated.
3:07 And Malpani from Medecins Sans Frontieres says that Morocco and Tunisia are paying more
3:12 than France – a much richer country – for a particular vaccine.
3:16 And his organisation wants transparency.
3:19 They want to be able to verify the cost of production.
3:22 To verify means to confirm that something is really true and they want the drug company
3:27 to confirm that the cost to produce the vaccines is really as high as they say it is.
3:32 Well, at this point, we have to hear what the companies say.
3:36 Yes, because they argue that they already sell these vaccines at a discount, in other
3:40 words, at a reduced price.
3:42 Yes, they do.
3:43 GlaxoSmithKline says that around 80% of all their vaccines, including the one mentioned
3:49 by Malpani, are provided to developing countries at a substantial discount.
3:55 And the company adds that the pneumococcal vaccine is one of the most complex they’ve
4:00 ever manufactured because it combines 10 vaccines in one.
4:04 Yes.
4:05 On one hand, vaccines take many years of research and these companies want to make a profit,
4:10 which means to sell the product for more than it costs to make it.
4:14 But on the other hand, the lack of vaccines can kill people and it’s really very sad
4:20 to see people dying of diseases which can be prevented.
4:24 Some vaccines may be very affordable for a person in a rich country…
4:27 … but they might cost a fortune to someone in a poor country.
4:31 This is a very complex problem and I’m sure we will talk about this again in the future.
4:36 But now, let’s go back to the quiz question, Neil.
4:39 You asked about the first vaccine developed in a laboratory…
4:42 Yes, I did.
4:43 The first laboratory-developed vaccine was produced in 1879.
4:48 It was a vaccine for the animal disease called chicken cholera.
4:52 I wanted to know the name of the scientist who developed it.
4:56 Was it Alexander Fleming, Albert Sabin or Louis Pasteur?
4:59 And I said (b) Albert Sabin.
5:02 And you were wrong!
5:04 The correct answer is (C) Louis Pasteur, who was a French microbiologist.
5:08 Now, Neil, the option you chose, the American scientist Albert Sabin, in fact developed
5:14 an oral vaccine against polio in the 1950s – still very useful.
5:19 And Alexander Fleming from Scotland did indeed discover penicillin, as you said.
5:25 Well, that is interesting and I’m a bit disappointed that I got it wrong actually.
5:28 Okay.
5:29 Well, that’s it for this programme.
5:31 Now let’s remember some of the words we used today, Neil.
5:34 to immunise, charity
5:39 transparency, out of proportion
5:43 to verify, discount
5:46 to make a profit. Thank you.

BBC 6 Minute English | BLOOD | English Subtitle

► SUBSCRIBE DAILY LISTENING: http://goo.gl/9sRkEB
https://youtu.be/YZ9GASZzFH8

0:07 In this programme we're going to be talking about blood.
0:10 Yes.
0:11 Blood?
0:12 Did I ever tell you, Rob, that I really hate the sight of blood?
0:16 And I've even been known to faint – that's to lose consciousness - at the sight of a needle.
0:23 Come on, Finn.
0:24 I think you've got a lot to learn.
0:26 You wouldn't be here without it, you know!
0:27 It's a fascinating topic.
0:29 All sorts of discoveries are being made these days, which could change medical science for ever.
0:35 Yes.
0:36 Well, you are right, of course.
0:37 Blood was even thought to relate to human character.
0:40 People were hot-bloodied – quick to anger – or cold-bloodied – lacking in passion.
0:47 There were all the myths about vampires when young blood was thought to revitalise older people.
0:53 There's a dreadful story that a Hungarian countess had hundreds of young women killed
0:57 so she could bathe in their blood and stay youthful-looking.
1:01 Right.
1:02 OK.
1:03 And in Roman times, if a young gladiator died in battle, people used to drink his blood
1:10 because they thought it would keep them healthy.
1:12 For 3,000 years, people have been cut or given leeches to let out the blood because they
1:17 thought that would make people better.
1:20 Incredibly, it carried on until the 19th century.
1:23 But it actually made people worse, or even killed them.
1:26 So I won't be doing that today.
1:29 OK.
1:30 Instead, how about answering a question all about blood Finn?
1:32 Go on then.
1:33 If you laid out all the blood vessels in an adult body end to end how long would they be?
1:40 Would they be… a) 30,000 miles
1:42 b) 100,000 miles or c) 200,000 miles long?
1:47 Well, let's say 100,000 miles.
1:50 That's b).
1:51 OK.
1:52 Well, we'll see if you got the right answer at the end of the programme.
1:54 OK, well let's talk more about blood now.
1:58 We've heard about blood in history but Finn, did you know that today beauticians are running
2:02 businesses in which people pay to have their blood extracted, then injected into their face?
2:10 Yes I have heard about this.
2:12I t's thought to rejuvenate – that's to give new life to - their skin.
2:18 Michael Mosley has had just that done to his face as an experiment.
2:21 He's a doctor and presenter with the BBC.
2:25 Let's listen to him talking about it.
2:27 He uses an expression that means "go faster".
2:30 Can you tell me what it is?
2:33 Sometimes known as the Vampire Facelift, PRP – Platelet Rich Plasma therapy – claims
2:40 to accelerate healing and reverse the signs of ageing.
2:46 First my blood is treated to make a concentrated solution of platelets in plasma.
2:51 Next, this is injected directly into my face.
2:56 Ouch!
2:58 And the word he used was "accelerate".
3:00 Now that means to make faster.
3:03 And he said they "treated" his blood.
3:05 This means "changed or transformed" it.
3:08 Well, today, of course, controlled blood transfusion is a completely normal medical practice that
3:15 saves countless lives.
3:17 And blood donors – the people who give their blood – are an important part of healthcare.
3:21 Yes, Finn, but there's all sorts of other amazing things that blood can do.
3:26 If we are running at altitude – high up - the limbs get tired because there's not
3:31 enough oxygen.
3:32 The blood then starts creating new red cells and pours them into the system.
3:37 That's why athletes often train in the mountains.
3:40 Altitude training, isn't it?
3:42 And, apparently, the different types of food you eat have an immediate effect on your blood,
3:47 or rather the element of blood called plasma.
3:51 So, if you eat a cholesterol-high breakfast, for example, very soon after that you can
3:57 see the fat in the blood.
3:59 Nice.
4:01 Ideas about how blood moves around your body have changed a lot over the years too.
4:05 The Romans thought blood flowed one way and came out of our feet and hands and was then
4:10 burnt away.
4:12 But William Harvey in the 17th-century found that blood circulated viaveins and arteries
4:17 – these are the tubes in our body where blood is carried around.
4:21 And let's not forget clotting – that's when the blood hardens.
4:25 If our blood didn't clot when we cut ourselves we'd be dead within minutes.
4:30 It is really fascinating isn't it?
4:32 And we're just beginning to understand stem cells.
4:36 These are also in the blood and are used to repair various organs in the body
4:41 Modern science is really helping us to understand blood properly for the first time and showing
4:46 us the way forward.
4:47 Now Rob, before my blood boils, could you let me know the answer to the quiz question
4:53 Rob?
4:54 Yes.
4:55 So, I asked you if you laid out all the blood vessels in an adult body end to end how long
5:00 would they be: 30,000 miles, 100,000 miles or 200,000 miles?
5:05 Well, I said 100,000 miles.
5:08 Wow.
5:09 And you know your blood vessels, because you got that question right.
5:12 Well, I measured them earlier.
5:14 Good.
5:15 And how do you feel about blood now?
5:17 Well, I'm probably a bit scared of it still.
5:20 But now that I know all of these wonderful things that it does, I really get why it's
5:24 so important.
5:25 Great.
5:26 So, let's remind ourselves of some of the words we've said today, Finn.
5:31 Here we are: faint
5:33 rejuvenate, transfusion
5:37 cholesterol-high veins and arteries
5:43 clotting, accelerate
5:48 treated. Thank you.
5:50 Well, that's it for today.

10 commonly used slang words used in English - Advance English Lesson

source: Learn English with Let's Talk 2013年11月20日
Link to the quiz : http://www.learnex.in/10-commonly-use...
Slangs are nothing but Informal words or expressions that are used in the spoken rather than in the written English. As they are strictly informal, you might want to use them mostly with friends, colleagues or people close to you. You'll want to refrain from using slangs with your boss, teachers or elders. It is important to also know that slangs are not unique words. They are, however, derived from other common English words or maybe other slangs too.

Let's take a look at some interesting slangs you can use on an everyday basis:
1) To blow out of here-To leave
Example : I decided to blow out of the theater because the movie was so boring.

2) Pain in the neck-very annoying
Example :My little brother can be a real pain in the neck with his constant questioning.

3) Zapped out-completely tired or exhausted
Example : I was zapped out after a long day at work.

4 )Catch some Z's-get some sleep
Example :I need to catch some Z's before my next flight which is due in 7 hours time.

5) To screw around-to waste time
Example :You'll be fired if you screw around all the time.

6) Far out-Really great
Example :The music played at the concert tonight was far out.

7) Goof up-make a serious mistake
Example :I goofed up by painting my hair purple.

8) Make waves-cause trouble
Example :The politician's controversial speech made waves around town.

9) Bummed-Depressed
Example :I was bummed on hearing the news about the recently hit recession in the country.

10 )Airhead-stupid person
Example :My sister's boyfriend is an airhead.

BBC 6 Minute English | OLD TECHNOLOGY | English Subtitle

► SUBSCRIBE DAILY LISTENING: http://goo.gl/9sRkEB
Did you ever own a Walkman or a record player? Is there still a market for DVD rental stores? Alice and Neil discuss old tech and why the US Pentagon still uses floppy disks.
https://youtu.be/Am4GLoAN18I

0:00 Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English.
0:02 I'm Alice…
0:03 And I'm Neil.
0:04 We’re talking about old technology today, Neil.
0:06 Did you use to have any old tech, you know, a Walkman, back in the 1990s?
0:11 Before music went digital?
0:12 No.
0:13 I didn't have a Walkman…
0:14 But I do have a record player.
0:16 I know you like flared trousers, but I didn't realize you were that retro.
0:21 A record player, for those of you who don’t know, is a box with a turntable – or turning
0:26 plate that you put your vinyl records on to play them.
0:30 And retro means going back to styles and fashions from the past.
0:33 Well, I love my record player.
0:36 I have a large collection of vinyl records, as well as cassette tapes that I inherited
0:40 from my parents…
0:42 Vinyl is the plastic that records are made from.
0:45 And cassette tapes came after records – which are these small plastic cases with audiotape
0:51 on reels inside them.
0:53 Well, I don't understand your fondness for out-dated stuff, Neil.
0:57 Don't be so quick to dismiss old tech, Alice.
0:59 There's been a resurgence – or new rise in – record sales recently – here in the
1:04 UK, and in the US.
1:05 Some DJs have gone back to using them, and new record stores have opened to meet the
1:10 demand for vinyl.
1:12 Really?
1:13 Yes, really.
1:14 In fact, I have a question for you, Alice: How many records were sold in the UK in 2014?
1:20 Was it… a) 10,000?
1:22 b) 100,000?
1:24 Or c) 1 million?
1:27 Well, I think it’s b) 100,000.
1:32 We'll find out if you're right or wrong later in the show.
1:34 For myself, I just think vinyl sounds nicer than digital – has a warmer quality.
1:40 That sounds a bit technical, Neil!
1:42 Don't you think this retro trend has more to do with nostalgia for the past?
1:46 Nostalgia means thinking about the past with a mixture of warm feelings and sadness.
1:51 Well, yes, I think people who grew up with the old technology probably are nostalgic
1:56 about it.
1:57 Let's listen to music journalist Jacqueline Springer talking about cassette tapes and
2:02 what they mean to her.
2:04 They were audio love letters.
2:07 They were ways in which you started to carve out your own identity so you know when Dan
2:12 or I have interviewed people we talk about… we talk to musicians about their impressions
2:18 and, you know, and their influences, and invariably it was siblings or parents.
2:21 And you would raid those vinyl albums and you would self-select.
2:27 Jacqueline Springer there.
2:28 So she calls cassette tapes 'audio love letters' – because people often compiled – or put
2:33 together – their own collection of songs on tapes and gave them to the boy or girl
2:38 they liked.
2:39 Jacqueline says they recorded songs from their parents' record collections onto tape.
2:44 And it seems that this process helped create their musical and social identity.
2:48 Yes.
2:49 I identified with The Rolling Stones, The Clash, and The Sex Pistols when I was a teen.
2:54 How about your musical identity, Alice?
2:56 Well, I was in love with all the boy bands from the 1990s – NSync, Westlife, Backstreet
3:02 Boys, Take That.
3:04 Unbelievable.
3:05 I can see I need to make you some decent tapes of music from the 90s, Alice.
3:09 I didn’t say I still like boy bands, Neil.
3:12 I'm not nostalgic for my lost teenage years – unlike you.
3:16 Old tech is everywhere.
3:17 Did you know that the US nuclear weapons force still uses a computer system dating back to
3:22 the 1970s with 8-inch floppy disks?
3:26 Floppy disks?
3:27 You mean those flexible plastic computer disks used for storing data magnetically.
3:31 Well, I can't believe the guys in The Pentagon are nostalgic about floppy disks.
3:37 Well, a Pentagon spokesperson said it would be extremely expensive to update the system
3:41 and it still works.
3:43 They plan to do it by 2020 and save a lot of space for sure.
3:47 You would need more than 130,000 8-inch floppy disks to store 32GB of information.
3:54 Wow!
3:55 This is the equivalent of an average memory stick!
3:57 Yes.
3:58 But there are more people out there keen on old tech.
4:01 How do you think a DVD rental stores survives in this era of online movie streaming?
4:06 Let’s listen to Tara Judah, co-director of UK rental store 20th Century Flicks and
4:12 find out.
4:15 We've survived because of the experience of coming into this store.
4:19 Um…
4:20 It's a very human experience.
4:22 It's human interaction.
4:23 People come here because they want to talk to somebody who's really knowledgeable about
4:27 film.
4:28 They want to have a recommendation or a conversation about the films they just watch.
4:32 You know, they really want to discuss those things.
4:37 So it's back to the idea of human contact – we like compiling lists of music and sharing
4:41 them with our friends and loved ones.
4:44 Sharing a playlist through iTunes or Spotify isn't quite the same, though.
4:48 We like talking people about the films we watch.
4:51 You can always talk to me, Neil.
4:53 Now how about giving me the answer to today's quiz question?
4:57 I asked: How many records were sold in the UK in 2014?
5:01 Was it… a) 10,000 b) 100,000?
5:04 Or c) 1 million?
5:06 I said b) 100,000.
5:09 And, Alice, you were in fact totally wrong!
5:15 The answer is c).
5:17 Vinyl is booming – in 2014, sales passed 1million albums in the UK for the first time
5:23 since 1996.
5:25 The format has been steadily increasing, thanks in part to the popularity of guitar bands,
5:30 traditionally associated with records.
5:34 Now let's hear words we learned today.
5:36 They are: record player
5:39 turntable retro
5:42 vinyl cassette tapes
5:46 resurgence nostalgia
5:49 compiled floppy disk
5:53 Well, that's the end of today's 6 Minute English.

Use of Must and Should - Common Grammar Errors in English

source: Twominute English 2013年11月13日
The difference between these two words is the urgency or the imperativeness of the task. Is it something that really has to be done, and can't be avoided? Then use 'must'. If it's something that can be done, and it's recommended that it's done, then use 'should'.
Please visit our website: http://twominenglish.com

0:00 Welcome to twominenglish.com. Teaching you English through two-minute lessons.
0:07 In this lesson, we will learn about how to use ‘must’ and ‘should’.
0:17 Hey Jack! Tell me, do you know the difference between ‘must’ and ‘should’?
0:22 I think I do. You use these words when you suggest that somebody has to do something.
0:28 That’s right. You must learn the difference between these two words.
0:33 You used must instead of should, you could also have said ‘You should learn the difference between these two words’. Right?
0:42 That’s right! But learning the difference is very important, that’s why you must know it.
0:48 So when something is very important you use must?
0:53 Correct! When you can’t avoid doing something, or doing it is very important, then you use ‘must’.
1:00 And you use ‘should’ when you want to recommend that something should be done, or when a person ought to do something, but it’s not a strict requirement.
1:10 That’s correct! You know the difference now. You should give yourself a treat!
1:16 I should, so it’s not a requirement and I may or may not do it.
1:22 It’s your choice. But we must hear some sample conversations.
1:27 We must, so we have to. Okay, let’s go!
1:39 What documents must I bring to sign the lease for the apartment?
1:43 You must bring some identity proof for the records, and you should also bring the cash advance.
1:49 Can I pay the advance through a check?
1:52 Yes, you can. You can bring a check instead of cash if you want.
1:56 What time should I come?
1:58 I leave at 6 every day. So you must come before 6 PM.
2:03 Thank you. See you soon!
2:12 Where’s the bus?
2:13 I think it’s running late.
2:16 It should have been here 30 minutes ago.
2:18 It should be coming soon.
2:20 It must, because I’m already late for work.
2:30 We must stop polluting Earth!
2:33 I agree. We are ruining this planet. We should do something about it.
2:38 I think we should use cycles instead of cars to get to places.
2:43 You’re right, and we should not build any nuclear reactors.
2:49 You’re right. Remember the Fukushima disaster in Japan? We must use renewable power like Germany.
2:59 I think we should write a letter to our senator demanding renewable energy!
3:07 What documents must I bring to sign the lease for the apartment?
3:16 You must bring some identity proof for the records, and you should also bring the cash advance.
3:28 What time should I come?
3:32 I leave at 6 every day. So you must come before 6 PM.
3:42 It should have been here 30 minutes ago.
3:47 It should be coming soon.
3:52 We must stop polluting Earth!
3:57 We should do something about it.
4:01 I think we should write a letter to our senator demanding renewable energy!

BBC 6 Minute English | SLANG | English Subtitle

source: Daily Listening 2016年9月8日
► SUBSCRIBE DAILY LISTENING: http://goo.gl/9sRkEB
Is slang a bad thing? Do you use it a lot? Neil and Alice discuss a very English kind of of language - Cockney Rhyming Slang - and teach you about jargon.
BBC 6 Minute English | SLANG | English Subtitle: https://youtu.be/lAUjFivYD1g

0:04 Could you lend me some dosh, Neil?
0:06 Sure.
0:07 How much do you need?
0:08 A couple of smackers.
0:10 You're sounding strange today, Alice.
0:12 Yes, I know, Neil.
0:14 Slang – or informal language used by a particular group – is the subject of today's show,
0:20 and I was just demonstrating a couple of slang words that mean 'money'. Dosh is a general
0:26 term for money and a smacker is a British pound or US dollar.
0:30 OK, so Cockney Rhyming Slang is a type of slang.
0:34 It's a coded language invented in the 19th Century by Cockneys so they could speak in
0:39 front of the police without being understood.
0:43 And still on the subject of money, I have a question for you, Alice.
0:47 OK.
0:48 What's Cockney Rhyming Slang for 'money'?
0:51 Is it… a) bread?
0:53 b) honey?
0:54 Or c) dough?
0:55 I think it's a) bread.
0:57 I bet you didn't know, Neil, that I'm a Cockney.
0:59 I don't Adam and Eve it, Alice!
1:02 That's a pork pie!
1:04 'Adam and Eve' means 'believe' and 'pork pie' means… 'lie'!
1:09 Actually, you're right.
1:11 I'm not a Cockney.
1:12 To be considered a Cockney, you need to be born within hearing distance of the bells
1:17 of St Mary-le-Bow church in what is now the City of London.
1:21 Indeed.
1:22 Now, slang, as we've said, is colloquial – or informal – language.
1:27 And it's characteristic of specific social groups.
1:30 We usually use it in informal conversation rather than in writing or more formal situations,
1:35 like a job interview.
1:37 We change the way we speak so that what we say is appropriate for a particular situation.
1:43 So you surprised me, earlier, Alice, by talking about 'dosh' and 'smackers' because it didn't
1:48 seem appropriate for presenting the show.
1:50 Slang use is often frowned upon – or disapproved of.
1:55 Let's listen to Jonathan Green, a lexicographer of slang, talking about who uses slang and
2:00 how this has changed.
2:01 Here he is on the Radio 4 programme Word of Mouth.
2:06 Slang does have a bad reputation and I would say this comes from its earliest collection,
2:12 which was of criminal slang in the 1500s in the 16th century, and it was associated with
2:17 bad people, and inevitably that has lingered.
2:21 But now in the last 40 or 50 years it's changed.
2:25 The definitions tend to stress 'different' and 'jocular', 'funny', 'humorous', 'inventive',
2:31 that kind of thing.
2:33 So we have records of 16th Century slang in collections – or dictionaries.
2:38 Words used by criminals as a code so they could talk without being understood.
2:43 And this bad reputation has lingered – or been slow to disappear.
2:46 But for the last 50 years we've been using slang to be funny and creative as well as
2:52 to show belonging to a particular group.
2:55 And apparently we're very creative when talking about drinking and being drunk.
3:01 The slang word booze – meaning 'alcohol' – comes from the 13th Century Dutch word, 'būsen'.
3:08 And there are hundreds of slang expressions to talk about drink and being drunk: 'on the
3:13 sauce', 'in your cups', 'half cut', 'hammered', 'squiffy', 'tipsy', 'wasted', 'legless', and
3:18 many many more that are far too rude to mention in this programme.
3:22 Yes.
3:23 So, while these terms might not be strictly acceptable – or appropriate in formal contexts
3:30 they aren't offensive, they are often amusing and help people bond in social groups.
3:35 By contrast, swear words or profanity – means 'rude language that offends or upsets people'.
3:41 And I'm not going to give any examples because that would be inappropriate and impolite, Alice.
3:47 OK, let's listen now to Jonathan Green and presenter Michael Rosen talking about jargon
3:53 – another type of in-group language.
3:56 JG: Jargon is what I would call is small 'o' occupational, small 'p' professional.
4:02 It's closed off environments.
4:05 You get legal jargon, you get naval jargon, I've been reading Patrick O'Brien recently
4:10 and that's awash with futtock plates and fiddying the decks.
4:14 MR: This is radio 4 Jonathan, be careful!
4:17 Jonathan Green in another segment of the BBC Radio 4 programme Word of Mouth.
4:21 So he says jargon is occupational and professional, meaning people speak it at work, for example,
4:27 lawyers and sailors.
4:29 A futtock plate is, I believe, an iron plate attached to the top of a ship's mast.
4:35 But I don't know much about this subject.
4:38 That's the idea, though – jargon is the technical language belonging to a specific group.
4:44 And to outsiders this jargon is often hard to understand.
4:48 Yes and here in the studio I can use all the radio jargon that I like.
4:52 Look at my faders here, Alice.
4:55 Going down and up and up and I'm just testing our levels…
4:59 Come on, live the fader alone.
5:02 It controls the level of sound on a studio deck.
5:05 Now it's time for the answer to today's quiz question, Neil.
5:08 I asked you: What's Cockney Rhyming Slang for money?
5:12 Is it… a) bread, b) honey or c) dough?
5:16 And I said a) bread.
5:17 And you were right, Alice!
5:19 Cockney Rhyming Slang uses just the first word of a phrase that rhymes with a word we're
5:24 trying to disguise.
5:26 So 'money' becomes 'bread and honey' but we just say 'bread'.
5:31 OK, so let's recap on the words we've learned today.
5:35 They are: slang
5:38 dosh smacker
5:41 Cockney Rhyming Slang colloquial
5:44 frowned upon lingered
5:47 booze swear
5:50 profanity jargon

SMOKERS TO FACE ONE MORE BAN | Daily Listening | English Subtitle

source: Daily Listening 2016年9月6日
► SUBSCRIBE DAILY LISTENING: http://goo.gl/9sRkEB
Smoking in cars with children is likely to be banned in England this year, under new laws put forward by the government. Rob and Neil talk about the move and consider the reaction among smokers.
Listen to the conversation and learn some new vocabulary.
Link of SMOKERS TO FACE ONE MORE BAN | Daily Listening | English Subtitle:https://youtu.be/57Gq8gQIkks

0:03 With me in the studio today is Rob.
0:05 Hello, Neil.
0:06 Traditionally, January is the month in which people try to make their New Year's resolutions
0:12 work.
0:13 Some want to get fit, others swear they will drink less alcohol and there are those who
0:17 want to stop smoking.
0:19 Many people might wish to stop smoking here in England because, according to a plan, smoking
0:24 in cars with children will be banned under new laws put forward by the government.
0:28 And a similar move is being discussed in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
0:33 Today we're talking about this new proposal restricting where people are allowed to smoke.
0:38 And you'll learn some related vocabulary so you can have your own discussion on the subject.
0:43 We usually talk about smoking as a habit – that's what we do every day without even thinking
0:49 and it's difficult to give up.
0:50 Well, this ban is going to cause controversy, in other words, disagreement expressed in
0:55 an angry, public way.
0:57 Yes, smokers are trying hard to carry on enjoying their cigarettes.
1:00 But there are a couple of places where they've already lost the battle, Rob.
1:04 And where's that?
1:05 I'm giving you a chance to tell me.
1:08 Bans on smoking in cars where children are present already exist in some regions of particular
1:13 countries.
1:14 Is it: a) in the French capital, Paris
1:17 b) in some US states c) in Greece
1:22 I don't know but I'm gonna go for b) in some US states.
1:25 OK.
1:26 Well, we'll have the answer to that question at the end of the programme.
1:29 Now let's hear the argument in favour of a ban.
1:33 Here's Dr Hilary Wareing.
1:35 She is the director of the Tobacco Control Collaborating Centre, which works with the
1:39 World Health Organisation.
1:41 The World Health Organisation is campaigning to discourage people from smoking.
1:46 Campaigning means working in an organised and active way to achieve an objective.
1:51 Listen out for what Dr Wareing calls the smoke from other people's cigarettes.
1:55 Those children who are exposed to second-hand smoke in cars are more likely to end up going
1:59 to their doctors with respiratory infections, more likely to end up going to hospital with
2:04 a respiratory infection and much more likely to get a wheeze or actually have asthma through
2:10 their childhood.
2:12 So Dr Wareing calls smoke from other people's cigarette second-hand smoke.
2:18 Second-hand is something which has had a previous owner.
2:21 And she also mentions asthma.
2:23 This is an illness you hear a lot about when people discuss the effects of tobacco smoke
2:27 and pollution on people's lungs.
2:30 People with asthma sometimes find it difficult to breathe.
2:33 You faced this problem as a child, didn't you, Rob?
2:36 Asthma?
2:37 No, but when I was a kid my brother, who was much older than me, used to smoke in the car.
2:42 Now, the smell was terrible, the smoke bothered me a lot and even if I don't have asthma now,
2:48 I just don't like breathing in smoke.
2:49 If people want to smoke, it's their personal choice, but not near me.
2:53 The proposal under discussion here in England includes a fine of up to £50 – that's about
2:58 $80 – imposed on the driver of the car if there's somebody smoking when there's a child
3:04 passenger.
3:05 A fine is the money you pay as a punishment for having broken the law.
3:09 And the driver is responsible, even if he is not the person smoking in the car.
3:13 This will really cause some conflict.
3:15 It probably will.
3:16 But it's difficult to find anyone who doesn't defend a child's right to be healthy.
3:21 Children are vulnerable – vulnerable means they are exposed to harm and can't defend
3:25 themselves.
3:26 We have to protect them.
3:27 But many smokers see this proposal with suspicion.
3:30 Yes, in the last few years, smokers have seen restrictions in their ability to smoke.
3:35 In many countries they aren't allowed to smoke in closed public places like bars anymore.
3:40 And cigarette packages show disturbing pictures of diseased lungs.
3:43 Smoking doesn't look so cool anymore.
3:46 One of the smokers suspicious of the new ban is Hayley.
3:50 This British driver said she doesn't smoke when her children are on board.
3:53 But that's as far as she goes in agreeing with the ban.
3:57 What objection – I mean what reason for disagreeing – is she raising?
4:01 Listen out for the two words Hayley uses when talking about the physical area surrounding
4:05 her which she feels is very personal.
4:07 If they are going to stop it with people in the cars with their children I completely
4:12 agree with that.
4:13 I completely understand where they are coming from, but to take it to the next level of
4:16 stopping it even if you haven't got children in the car then I think that's a little bit
4:20 beyond people's personal space, really.
4:24 Hayley talks about her personal space – it means the area around her body which she feels
4:31 is hers and if invaded makes her feel uncomfortable.
4:36 In this case, Hayley feels that her car is her personal space and she should be able
4:41 to choose if she wants to smoke in it.
4:44 Well, it seems that enforcing this ban will be a bit of a challenge for the authorities.
4:49 There's a ban on smoking inside buses but I tell you, sometimes I can smell smoke from
4:53 somewhere.
4:54 They breach the law at their own peril.
4:57 But other places have managed to implement the ban on smoking in cars with child passengers.
5:02 So what's the answer to the question you put earlier in the programme, Neil?
5:05 Where are people not allowed by law to smoke in private cars with children on board: is
5:10 it Paris, some US states or Greece?
5:13 Well, I said some US states.
5:15 And you were correct!
5:16 Oh good.
5:17 Well, the proposal here in England has yet to be voted for in Parliament and it might
5:22 be implemented only by October.
5:24 So plenty of time there for a good debate.
5:27 Yes but two people who can't continue the discussion, at least for the moment, are both
5:31 of us.
5:32 That's because we've run out of time, Rob.
5:34 Let's just remember some of the words used today.
5:37 habit, controversy
5:41 campaigning, second-hand smoke
5:44 asthma, fine
5:47 vulnerable, personal space

Using "May I' Vs 'Can I' - English Grammar Lesson
Take the test : http://learnex.in/may-i-vs-can-i-engl...

Many people use the word can when they are asking for permission. They say,
"Can I go to the bathroom?" or "Can I have a box of popcorn?"
There is a better way to ask for permission. Use the word may instead.
"May I go to the bathroom?" or "May I have a box of popcorn?"

Try to use the word may when you are asking for permission.
Try to use the word can only when you are talking about being able to do something.
Examples:
Can Natasha program her laptop to make funny noises?
Yes, she can do many amazing things.
