Air pollution takes three years off life: BBC News Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- Learn vocabulary to talk about the news story that air pollution can take three years off our life. Air pollution causes the average human life to be three years shorter than it could be, say scientists. Neil and Catherine look at the vocabulary in the news around this story.
The story:
Lung disease, cancer, heart problems and stroke have all been linked to air pollution - particularly man-made emissions from fossil fuels. Now an international group of researchers has used a new method to model the impact on our health.
The team believes pollution led to around 8.8 million premature deaths in 2015. That represents an average shortening of life expectancy of nearly three years across the global population.
Vocabulary:
lifespan
how long someone or something lives
• The elephant’s lifespan is longer in the wild than in zoos.
• The lifespan of smartphone batteries is getting better.
shorten
make shorter
• Smoking shortens lives.
• Please shorten my trousers. They are too long.
deadlier
more likely to cause death than something else
• The plague was deadlier than coronavirus.
• Machine guns made WW1 deadlier than previous wars.

A flower has a short lifespan
Yet it offers itself wholeheartedly to others
It offers it's own nectar to the bees
And this brings happiness
春蚕到死丝方尽,蜡炬成灰泪始干。Till the end of life a silk worm keeps spining silk,Till burning itself out a candle goes on lighting us.
Katherine is my all-time favorite speaker

By the way, what ever happened to Tom? We haven't seen him for such a long time. Greetings from Spain
Extremely useful, Well-done Cathy and Neil
Hello teachers. My english even poor but i could understand your conversation easily. Actually i m begner and from 2 months i started to learn English (Mrs shahzad from pakistan) and this is my first comment
Thanks for making your first comment! Welcome to the comments section. We hope to hear from you again!
If you can understand the conversation easily, then your English must be better than you think! Keep up the good work! 👍
Thanks
Katherine is a great teacher. I ´ve been studying with her. She´s very good
I agree, we need to changes with our lifestyle.
Thanks for every thing
A thumb-up for your professional and diligent work! But, please, could you provide a text transcript of your discussions? It would be really helpful. I've been your subscriber for years and you used to have some, but, for unknown reasons, you've dropped them.
Thankyou greetings from México
poor robert.
How about indoor air pollution?
Yours is the most useful program .It should be followed up by all the world's population. Thank you very much indeed
Much prefer this format over the previous (where the presenters were sitting on couches). They feel much more natural and comfortable.
I am very thankful for your business, your are really a helpful channel.
Hi there! How are things? So I admire the way you teach us, it's amazing. I'd like to ask a question, what's the difference between an English teacher and a teacher of English?
Thank you!
My name is Charles, I'm from Haiti🇭🇹
Hello, Charles..as I know it's the same..they different only language construction. But it better sounds when you say English teacher...
@@vyakorolenko thanks. And God bless you
Hshsu
Both of you always seem to have a pleasant conversation.
another exception: strong - strengthening
News Review podcasts are an extremely important feature from you to help us learn English, I would say. But it’d be more effective and efficient for us learners if you added transcripts for each episode.
It’s great to see you back ms Katherine.
Quite useful I didn't know those words
the span is the scope
Great❤i love this programme
Thank you so much,it’s useful lesson about air pollution and English at the same time really thanks.
what disease is deadlier than Coronavirus infection? pls answer me. i listen BBC from Vietnam without subtittle so some words are hard to understand. Many thanks. at 9:00
Thanks 😊
Thank you guys for shedding light on such useful expressions and words.
Love you Nil&kathrin
Very nice ..we learn alot from u both ..well done
Hello , bbc learning news team. Ur channel is helpful to improve my English as well as my ielts score also increase.thank u so much !!😊😊
Thank you, BBC Learning English.
Nice
I really enjoy ur lessons n learning with the discussions u give.
I’m exaggerating, but it’s more valuable if you just recognise the word “yes” in the whole video without subtitles, that knowing all the content using them, without noticing it after some practice the amount of words you’d recognise will be higher, I’m learning as everyone else does, but that’s my idea, I’m not trying to be pretentious or disrespectful. Greetings from Bogotá
thank you for this effort , I really like the show
Contamination is a burning issue nowadays. Air pollution is a serious problem for the place where I live. Because of poverty people can’t afford modern cars wich follow European norms. Therefore these cars spread much exhaust fumes in the air. Some cars are so outdated, that one can’t normally breathe near a highway. I couldn’t consume, that polluted air can shorten our lifespan by 3 years. It is terrible. Governments should mandatory adopt vigorous measures to fix this problem.
I love them so much !! I just open the UA-cam every mornings to see them .💗
My favorite channel.iam watching this every day that part of learning English. myself I found very effective.
Thanks! 😃 We're sure that if you're studying every day then you will see great results! Keep it up!
Sorry I don't mean to blame Kathy, but I have a question that Did she mention a knife in 5:40 as /neif /? Thank you so much for all your programs
This chennal is very important students those want study English language even I am including. Thank you for BBC learning English

I really like this channel because it has lot of benefits for their audience. Firstly, it is very informative, you will learn some things in every topic. Secondly, it will enhance your vocabulary in English thru their chosen words from their said topic. Lastly, you will learn some idiomatic expressions they will use it talking about it. I am hoping this channel will last for span of 20 years or more because it helps lot of people like me to learn English language. More power BBC. Many Thanks!😉
Please add subtitle...
Hello,what Neil and Catherine said in 1:00~1:09? I do not hear clearly.
Catherine says that most people live in cities and that's where it (air polultion) appears to be the worst and that it can take 3 years off people's lives.

At 9:54, Neil said “deadly a...”. I couldn’t catch that word. Please help!
Aim
I wonder how to put a non- gradable adjective " dead " in comparative form !
Use english subtitles for your conversation
Learning English without Subtitles! Is this BBC Radio service?

These words are formal or informal. plz tell me, i'm ielts student , i wanna use these words in writing.
According to a new study, several deadly diseases for instance lung illness, cancer, stroke, heart problems related to air pollution. The dirty air has been emitted particularly from the using fossil fuels of man. Moreover, the researchers believe that the pollution would shorten off nearly 3 years of average human lifespan across the global population. People should take any actions as much as possible to improve the air quality before it gets worse.

Air pollution will definitely cause deadly theats, which includes human life be shortened by 3years, if we just leave it behind and not even try to come up with feaseible measures.
It's an important issue. Let's hope we can find a way to reduce the problem soon. 🤞

🎀 The wild animals' lifespans are longer in forests than in zoos.
🎀 Please shorten my sleeves. They are too long.
🎀 Swimming in some pools is deadlier than in seas.
Is "deadly" equal to "lethal" ?
Yes, they are synonymous. 😃
@@bbclearningenglish I love you :))
The Woman is beautiful ,just beautiful .
Good channel
Very soon all of the problems that are affecting mankind will be done away with. Psalm 37:9-11,29; Daniel 2:44; Revelation 11:18; Psalm 83:18.
I love you.
I have a seven-year-old child .. I want to help you with the best spelling, reading, vocabulary and conversation books in English? The best educational curricula up to the age of 15
i love this
The channel is really great, mind you, but it's so strange to look at two native speakers who pretend they don't some words or wonder about some meanings (ha-ha). It might be more natural to put a non-native speaker so he can guess the meaning.
Can I say something like "she is deadly attractive to me"?
Hmm. We would understand your meaning but it would sound a little unusual. It is used sometimes (but not often) and 'deadly attraction' is the name of a recent film.
BBC Learning English Thank you for clearing that up.
U r deadly handsome Neil.
