Air pollution takes three years off life: BBC News Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 бер 2020
- 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.

Thanks. We're really happy to hear it. 😃
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.

Hello BCC Learning English team, I know this channel long time ago but just following it recently, I am so excited about these video that helps me a lot to learn English. You guys make interesting videos, I watched a lot of videos but I did not feel boring. Thanks all to you guys.
One of the reason why I keep listening to this program while I am jogging is because this never has ads in between. 🙂
I am very thankful for your business, your are really a helpful channel.
poor robert.
Thanks a lot
Thanks 😊
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.
the span is the scope
Thank you guys for shedding light on such useful expressions and words.

Yours is the most useful program .It should be followed up by all the world's population. Thank you very much indeed

Quite useful I didn't know those words
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.
Love you Nil&kathrin
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

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!

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.

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! 👍

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!😉
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 this
Can we use the word lifespan for a house? " the lifespan of this style of construction has 50 years lifespan?"
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.
they seen like robots now😓.I prefer the previous version,when they talk to each other .
I love British accent.
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
I love you.
in recent years, air pollution is becoming more and more serious, which can shorten our lives, that means our lifesan will decrease. So that air pollution is absolutetly a deadly issue !
Is "deadly" equal to "lethal" ?
Yes, they are synonymous. 😃
@@bbclearningenglish I love you :))
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 Woman is beautiful ,just beautiful .
You guys are not deadlier for us instead of great advocator to improve ourself😇🤣
02. Women have lengthen lifespan.
03. Don't make your lesson shorten
