Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- The world’s temperatures are rising… and so are people’s energy bills. Gas supply problems have been caused by the war in Ukraine. Now some governments are thinking of going back in time - and using coal to generate power.
But many see this as a step backwards for the environment.

Hello, can you pls tell me more detail about the word 'short-term fix' and how to use it in a sentence?
"The blutac was used as a short term fix to seal a hole in the bath"
Great vedio❤️
Sain is beautiful and Neil has a legend voice
Thanks for the video. This is helpful. One thing I found unimaginable is I am able to understand your English but sometimes I am not able to understand what my local neighbour ( British )said to me 😢 please what is the short - term fix? I feel bitter 😢
Today's new vocabularies:
Unimaginable......hard to believe
Short -term fix.......temporary solution
Bitter...........unpleasent
Nice Illustration. Great.!!
Making video by BLE is really suprise me it is far more intresting to see your face than just hear your voice please make more video 💙
Intresting
Good job 👏
It’s so useful
so good
Sian👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Welcome back
Thank you, Neil and Sian, for expanding my vocabylary with some new words and phrases. This day definitely wasn't spent in vain due to your team-pair on air😀🌹
Sian, you're the icon of style👸 on BBC, love your today's outfit😊💖
I ve learned a lot of things by your shocking program
They should use renewable energy instead of coal
I wish they did! It will throw them into a stone age thou but wouldn’t it be only fair? Also they would keep genderneutral restrooms anyway. Renewables are not good for industry but enough for flushing someone’s waste.
Thank you/
Sian is one of best teacher
You shouldn’t put your sunglasses at the place where someone could sit. Thanks guys for the nice video
Hi BBC
Thank you bbc gave everyone a topic really useful. I see that environmental problem and energy issue is facing with consequence of unimaginable.
Personally, i think the government should come up with method as well as organization to inhibit this problem
i love you two, charming and funny with a bit witty during the whole show ^=^, i am from vietnam
What happened in Ukraine is unimaginable. I bet people in Ukraine surely feel bitter. Personally, I don’t think there will be a short-term fix.
How come the UK Gas and Electric price increases was planed in September 2021. And the Conflict in the Ukraine started in February 2022. And our government said we don't depend on Russia for our Gas and Oil.
Amazing. Keep going, fighting
intriguing videos to learn new words including their spelling, pronunciation, use and of course meaning. Personally, I like the way that the two presenters talk to each other about the words 🥰🥰🥰
By the way, many thanks to BBC Learning English and definitely all of the staff members 💯💯💯
And thanks to you for all your hard work and support!

I think this is the best news area since is tells you the news while helping you learn proper English 😄😄😄👏👏👏👏👏
Always the last class boost our c confidence then hoping another words...
I love both of you
Just came across this channel as a native English speaker and it was really interesting to see how nuanced my language is to foreigners for words with meaning that I would find obvious without thinking (I am even starting to be cautious about my own vocabulary and grammar lol). It's really cool what you guys are doing on this channel and I'm really glad this channel exists :)
Welcome to our channel - pleased to have you here :)
Yes, there is no quick fix to energy crisis. By the way, dark chocolate is not as bitter as you think. Thank you for this lesson!
I love BBC learning
great
I love the way the 2 teachers present. Sian looks amazing and lovely
I love you Sain ❤❤❤
😍 make more videos
You are cool guys
1. The situation in the flooded areas is unimaginable.
2. You should not rely on short term fix when it comes to your health.
3. He and I have quite a bitter relationship.
Просто вау😍
Unimaginable is equal to inconceivable
Sian is a quintessential beauty. Her beauty and the accent is extraterrestrial.
Sian was pressing Neil til the end for breaking her sunglasses
thats why this war should be stoped as soon as possible. if people seem to not care that people in ukraine are dying every day from russian invasion, maybe the environment problem help them to realise, that it's not only about fighting for freedom of one country, but about the wellbeing of the whole world
BBC is one of the most proficient news providers, so I kindly ask you to use the right words. It`s not war in Ukraine - it`s russian war against Ukraine. The words matter!
I searched this comment. Thanks 🫂
Neil, you’re supposed to buy a new glasses for Sian
Waaw that's good fantastic
No entendí nada
his eye glasses lmao
Love feel also my feel good but situations overtake I don't like.. proper everybody happiness I wish that's it..
i like that she is smiling :D
I am extremely admire and interested with this channel I hope some day have chance to work with you. My dream ❤️❤️
0:44 many see = many people see?😯
yes you are right
at first, there is no energy crisis, there is only crisis that you made for when you attempt to curb others' development .
Could you elaborate your idea?
Do best lead enough I am best attitude in society introduction I feel also proud of.
Can i say i am in love with Sian? Would that be inappropriate? I really love her
Ee crazy feeling koosamea world total struggles more hard work most important priority.. world best Banerjee craze everybody also wishing more .,
Sian is so pretty.
instead of crude oil please use free energy generator invented by Nicolas Tesla
