BBC 6 Minute English | SHOULD TOURISTS GO TO ANTARTICA? | English CC | D...

0:07 And in this programme we're talking about tourism, but in a very special place: Antarctica.
0:12 It is considered the last great wilderness on Earth.
0:15 Wilderness means an area with no people and no agriculture because of the difficult living
0:21 conditions.
0:22 Yes, in Antarctica there are only research stations with scientists and a few tourists.
0:27 Not so few – about 37,000 tourists are expected there this season.
0:33 Many don't go ashore but there's no denying that it disturbs the environment.
0:37 That many?
0:38 Yes.
0:39 We're asking if it is fair for tourists to set foot – it means to go to - such a sensitive
0:43 environment.
0:44 We'll also use some vocabulary related to Antarctica.
0:48 By the way, Neil, do you know a lot about the South Pole?
0:52 I've been reading that the ice caps – these are the thick layers of ice permanently covering
0:56 a vast area of land in the Arctic and Antarctic - are melting due to global warming…
1:02 Yes, and global warming is the increase in world temperatures due to the presence of
1:06 carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
1:09 This gas and some others have been stopping heat from the Earth escaping into space.
1:14 You know what, Rob?
1:15 I would like to visit Antarctica before it melts too much.
1:18 I want to see the penguins.
1:19 They are very amusing animals!
1:21 They are, yes.
1:22 But penguins aside, what large resource can be found in Antarctica?
1:27 That's my question for you today.
1:28 Is Antarctica: a) The world's largest coal field
1:32 b) The world's largest gold source c) The world's largest diamond source
1:41 I'm gonna have a guess - because I don't know - that it's coal (a).
1:45 Coal.
1:46 Right.
1:47 Okay.
1:48 Well, as usual, we'll give you the right answer at the end of the programme.
1:51 Well, I love travelling but I wonder how that very sensitive environment in Antarctica is
1:57 going to be preserved.
1:59 That's why BBC reporter Juliet Rix's visit to Antarctica caught my attention.
2:03 I bet she is asking the same question as you, Rob.
2:06 Yes she is.
2:07 Listen to what she has to say about the need to have some level of tourism in the Antarctic.
2:13 What word does she use to describe people who defend a cause – in this case – the
2:17 preservation of the region?
2:20 I'm all too aware that this is not my habitat.
2:23 Like a scuba diver under the sea I'm an alien visitor in the penguins' world.
2:28 Which makes me wonder: should I be here at all?
2:31 Am I just by setting foot on this extraordinary continent polluting the last great wilderness
2:36 on Earth?
2:38 All visitors leave a footprint, admits my tour leader.
2:41 And we all go to the same places, the accessible coastline, which is also where the penguins
2:46 and seals go to breed.
2:48 Nonetheless, he argues, carefully controlled tourism is not just okay but useful.
2:54 Without a native population of its own, Antarctica needs advocates.
2:58 And tourism creates a global constituency of people ready to support and indeed fund
3:03 its preservation.
3:05 Not everyone is convinced that the benefits outweigh the risks, but most are pragmatic:
3:10 The reporter uses the word advocates – that's what we call people who defend a cause or
3:16 an idea.
3:17 Juliet Rix's tour guide told her it's good that some people go to Antarctica and then,
3:22 when they go back to their countries, they defend conservation and give money to organisations
3:28 which work for the preservation of the environment.
3:31 Some people might not agree because if there are some companies making profit, it might
3:35 be difficult to prevent an increase in tourism to Antarctica.
3:39 And what control do they have over the tourists?
3:43 Juliet Rix tells us about the instructions given to her group when they approached Antarctica.
3:48 She says that tourists must clean their clothes with a vacuum cleaner before they leave the
3:53 ship to go on land.
3:57 But why?
3:58 We're given a mandatory briefing before gathering for a “vacuum party”.
4:01 We bio secure ourselves hovering our clothes and kit and disinfecting our boots to ensure
4:07 we introduce no alien species to Antarctica.
4:10 There's no eating or smoking on land, and we're instructed to take nothing away, except
4:15 photographs, and leave nothing behind.
4:17 Not even a bit of yellow snow.
4:19 So, don't drink too much at breakfast.
4:23 The BBC reporter tells us that the group of tourists has to disinfect their boots.
4:29 Disinfect means to clean something using chemicals or, in this case, vacuum to kill or remove
4:34 bacteria.
4:36 This is to avoid the risk of contaminating the region.
4:39 And to go to the toilet before leaving the ship.
4:42 The ice is not your toilet!
4:44 No, it isn't.
4:45 The penguins have exclusive rights on that!
4:47 But what do you think about visiting Antarctica, Rob?
4:49 Are you keen on paying the penguins a visit?
4:52 Absolutely, I would love to go there.
4:54 What about you, Neil?
4:55 Yeah.
4:56 I'd like to go because as I said, it's all about the penguins.
4:58 Well, let's stop dreaming about exotic trips and go back to the question I asked you earlier
5:03 in the programme: what large resource can be found in Antarctica?
5:07 Is it the world's largest coal field; the world's largest gold source or the world's
5:12 largest diamond source?
5:13 And I said coal.
5:16 And you are indeed correct.
5:17 Well done!
5:18 And now no one is able to mine the coal because the Antarctic Treaty has banned the exploitation
5:24 of resources for 50 years.
5:26 What happens after that, who knows?
5:28 Anyway, we're running out of time so let's remember some of the words we said today,
5:33 Neil.
5:34The words were: wilderness
5:38 to set foot ice caps
5:43 global warming advocates
5:49 to disinfect Thank you.
5:52 Well, that's it for today.

Can and Could - Confusion English Lessons

source: Twominute English     2013年9月1日
Many new English speakers often get confused while using 'can' and 'could'. They are called modal verbs and are used to express ability, possibility, make requests and get permissions. Generally, 'can' is used to denote ability or possibility in the present and 'could' is used to denote ability in the past and a possibility in the future.

0:07 This lesson will help you learn the correct usage of ‘can’ and ‘could’.
0:17 Hello, Harris! Today’s lesson is about ‘can’ and ‘could’.
0:23 Can you tell me how to use them?
0:25 You’ve already started by using ‘can’. They’re used when one wants to express ability or possibility.
0:32 They are also used to make a request or ask for permission.
0:37 I used ‘can’ to make my request but ‘could’ is also valid. I could have said ‘Could you tell me how to use them?’.
0:45 That’s right! ‘Could’ is also used to express a past ability. For example: ‘I could run very fast when I was a kid’.
0:55 That’s a great example of ‘could’. Here’s an example of ‘can’: ‘There’s no need to run now because you can drive a car.’
1:05 Ha ha! Great example, Harris. So ‘could’ is for an ability in the past, and ‘can’ is for the present.
1:14 You can also use ‘can’ and ‘could’ to ask for permission, can’t you?
1:19 Sure. Here’s an example: Can I come to your place to watch the game tonight?
1:26 Oh, sure! I was looking for someone to watch it with. And you used ‘can’ to ask permission, right?
1:34 That’s absolutely correct! I will bring my jacket, it could be very cold.
1:40 That’s true. Did you use ‘could’ here to indicate the possibility that it might get colder?
1:49 Yeah, depending on the context, ‘could’ can indicate a possibility in the past or in the future.
1:57 I get it now! “I can swim” expresses my ability to swim while
2:04 “I could not swim when I was a child.” expresses my lack of ability to swim in the past.
2:12 That’s brilliant! “Could you close the door for me?” is making a request while “Can I go home?” is asking for permission.
2:21 Yes, I see. Can we listen to some sample conversations now?
2:27 Sure. Here we go!
2:34 Hey Joe, could you pick up my dry cleaned clothes on the way home?
2:38 Yeah, I can do that. Can you close the door behind me?
2:42 Sure. Take your jacket, it could be snowing.
2:46 That’s right! Thanks dude.
2:54 Max, can you speak Spanish?
2:58 Yes. Why?
3:00 Martin needs some help in learning Spanish.
3:04 Oh, I guess I could help him out on the weekends.
3:08 That’s great. I’ll let him know.
3:16 I could run very fast when I was a kid.
3:23 I will bring my jacket, it could be very cold.
3:35 I can swim.
3:42 I could not swim when I was a child.
3:51 Could you close the door for me?
4:01 Yeah, I can do that.
4:08 Can you close the door behind me?
