雅思备考|学习发音和听力的Podcast了解一下
来英国如何提升自己的听力和口语？这些Podcast还不赶紧了解一下~~~
经常有很多小伙伴们说
出国在外，听播客 (podcast) 对学英语真的很有帮助呀！
在英国留学的小伙伴
真的可以好好利用播客呀
选择自己感兴趣的内容下载到播客定期听
长期坚持能学到很多地道的英式英语
发音也会变得更好听
再也不用被嫌弃成乡巴佬了！
为什么要强调一下兴趣呢，电台毕竟看不到脸，也没有字幕，要找些有兴趣的才能坚持下去。下面就简单为大家推荐几类适合留学党听的。
第一类播客，专注学习类
BBC
//www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/genre/learning
可以在线收听，可以下载到本地，也可以订阅，这样每次有新内容都会自动地推送给你。在这个类别里再推荐几个节目：
The English We Speak
每集才3分钟左右，一集介绍一个英国谚语。
举个栗子，它会怎么给你讲Water off a duck's back这个英国人在生活中常用的短语呢？
Water off a duck‘s back
这个节目的名字含义简单来说就是：某些建议意见和劝说，并不起什么作用，直接被忽略掉，成为了耳边风的意思，跟然并卵大概是一个意思。
比如它会给你个例句：The doctors tell us it's dangerous to smoke, but such good advice rolls off some people like water off a duck's back.
医生说吸烟对健康有危害，然而，对有些人来说，并没有什么卵用....
一下就把短语get到手了！就是这么快！
如果你每天学习一个，以后遇到英国人在你面前用到这些谚语，就不至于丈二和尚摸不着头脑了。
两个主持人语速比较慢，发音很清晰，非常适合学习。最关键是每集都比较短，随便就能挤出点时间听。
6 Minute Grammar
除了有短语，还有6分钟学语法
6 Minute Vocabulary
更可以6分钟讲词汇~业界良心啊！词汇量永远是英语学习者的痛！
6 Minute English
想轻松一点又有干货的话，6分钟介绍日常对话也不错，讨论一些时下社会流行的话题等。
第二类播客：新闻类
除了之前提到的，留学生们最关系的新闻类其实也有各种分类，有政治新闻，商业新闻，地方新闻等等。
关于新闻类的，建议选择自己感兴趣的区域，或者比较general 的新闻。 有些是每周更新，有些是每日更新，看自己需要选择，这里推荐三个~
Business Daily 每日商业
每集17分钟，很适合短途出行听，比如上学路上。感觉听完以后下一秒就可以在咖啡店和金融骄子侃侃而谈啦~
The World Tonight
每集45分钟，一集会涉及三到四个话题，会讲得比较深入，比较长，适合坐火车旅行的时候听，或者睡觉前听听。
Today in Parliament
想逼格再高一点的话，这个政治类的节目非常不错，每集30分钟以内。不过相应的，对英语的要求比较高，而且需要对英国的政治及政府政策动态有一定的背景了解。
比较有趣的一点是，这个节目里除了新闻评论员的声音外，还能听到议会现场的辩论和议员的吼叫声、嘲笑声，非常有带入感，每集才6分钟。
BBC还有其他很多podcast，覆盖体育、音乐、历史、娱乐 戏剧等各种，小伙伴们也可以根据自己的兴趣爱好进行选择。
第三类播客：英式吐槽类
The Bugle
//thebuglepodcast.com/
如果你喜欢 The daily show with Jon Stewart (囧叔), 那么你一定会喜欢 Bugle.
Bugle 的一个主持人是英国人 John Oliver (囧叔的哥们，今年整个夏天都是 Oliver 带班囧叔)。
和 The daily show with Jon Stewart 一样， Bugle 主要也讽刺吐槽时事政治。相对 Today in Parliament, 欣赏这个节目需要有一定的幽默感和更多的 culture reference。

有话要说：
The given pie chart and table provide data about the nationality of guests, their length of stay, the most chosen accomodation types and main activites during their holiday in Australia.
As an overall trend, it can be noticed that most of the visistors of Australia are Asian and European people. Additionally, guests from Europe and America prefer staying longer than other tourists.
From the chart it can be seen that European and Asian people account for almost three fourth of the visitors with 35% and 37% respectively. Citizens of US make about 18% of visitors and the rest 10% come from other nations.
According to the table, individuals from USA and Europe choose to live 2 weeks and over during their vacation (14 days, 16 days), while Asian guests and tourists from other regions prefer staying a week and more(7 days, 10 days). Moreover, tourists from Asia and United States of America prefer living in comfortable hotels (with 5 star and 4 stars) and prefer spending their main time on sightseeings. However European and customers from another regions do not mind living in camping or caravan and would like to be close to the sea by swinmming or sunbathing and surfing.
Please review, Thank you!
Do you think if you eat healthy food and stay in bed at all times, try to move as little as possible you would stay fit? No, Right!
In the same way, a person becomes overweight by a series of factors contributing to its effects, rather than just one. While the price might be a determining factor for some, for others it is the crunch of time and lack of ability to cook that leads them to choose unhealthier options. It is always easier to walk into a KFC and just order a bucket of wings (since it is readily available) than to cook by yourself, do the preparation, and then clean the dishes. Our diet is supposed to be a fair mix of proteins, fibers, carbohydrates, and fats. Eliminating anyone can cause serious repercussions leading to an imbalance of hormones and vitamins.
We can classify people here in two sets, to understand the effect of increasing the price of fattening foods. Firstly, the people who choose to go for readily available food options because they don't have time, are the people who are working in corporates, have tight deadlines, and are on a very short break. The increase in price won't affect their choice because for them time is of the essence. Secondly, comes the set who have to go to a fast food chain because they cannot afford the luxury of having or cooking organic & healthy foods. For them, the increase in price will negatively affect their budget hence impacting their ability to feed themselves.
Therefore, I do not stand with the proposition of inflating the price point of fattening foods. Rather, we should look for other options, one of which could be to decrease the membership costs of the gym or to educate people about obesity and train them to take up do-it-at-home exercises. It takes a very long time for our body to break down the fats accumulated by the fattening agents present in our food but we can train our metabolism to work faster by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If adequately coupled with exercise, being overweight can be avoided and you can still have your favourite food at the same price.
Please review. Thank you!

The displayed pie chart and table inform four types of tourists from different nationalities, how long they spend, accommodation types, and their activities during their holiday in Australia.
Overall, most of the visitors to Australia are from Asia and Europe. While the smallest portion of visitors come from other countries. Additionally, guests from Europe stay longer than other tourists. On the other hand, Asian tourists who make up the majority, stay the shortest in Australia.
To begin with, the biggest proportion of tourists who come to Australia are Asians who make up 37% of the total tourists, followed by Europe with 35%. While guests from the US have 18% which is higher than the proportion from other countries with only 10%.
However, according to the table, the largest population of tourists which is dominated by Asians only stays for 7 days, while American and European tourists choose to stay about 14 days and 16 days, and the rest of the tourists from other countries prefer to stay about 10 days.
Moreover, Asian and American tourists like to stay in 5-star and 4-star hotels which give them a comfortable rest during the holiday, and prefer to spend their main time sightseeing. Meanwhile, Europeans and the rest of the tourists enjoy the holiday in a caravan or camp. Different from Asians and Americans, Europeans prefer to spend their main time swimming or sunbathing and the rest of the tourist prefer to surf to spend their holiday.
The pie chart illustrates the percentage of tourist from all over the world who travelled to Australia for vacation and the tale descries the average number of days they spent, their accommodation and main activities they enjoyed.
The US and Europe had the largest percentage of people who travelled by 37% and 35% respectively, followed by Asia which was 18% and few people from other regions made 10% of the total percentage.
Asian tourists while on vacation in Australia, enjoyed sight seeing and stayed an average of 7 days in a 5 star hotel. The Europeans preferred camping , they engaged in swimming and sunbathing and stayed at least 16 days on the trip. The Americans resided in a 4 star hotel in Australia for about 14 days and their most enjoyed activity was sight seeing. Travelers from other various areas, stayed in Australia for a minimum of 10 days, and enjoyed surfing.
The pie chart and the graph give information about the percentage of tourists from different parts of the world and their lifestyle choices during their stay at a particular holiday resort in Australia.
The pie chart indicates that more than two-thirds of the total visitors belong to Asia and Europe. Furthermore, 18% of the visitors are from America while 10% are from the rest of the world.
On the other hand, the graph shows that European tourists spend on average 16 days on vacation while American visitors spend two weeks. however Asian people spend the least amount of time (in comparison) only 7 days. While Asian and American tourists prefer to stay in 5-star and 4-star hotels respectively, Europeans and tourists from other parts of the globe chose camping or caravan modes of accommodation.
Talking about the main activity during the stay, American and Asian visitors spent most of their time sightseeing. In contrast, European tourists preferred swimming and sunbathing. Tourists from other regions choose to surf in their time.

Day by day peoples are more getting a excess weight ,it can cause dangerous problems to their health.One group of people advices to surge the cost of products which can contribute to overweighting for solving this issue.I totally disagree with this statement ,because if either they increase the prices it can not completely tackle this obstacle.
First of all, humans buy this products which can damage to their health beacuse they are cheaper than expensive and safe food.All cheap food is producing from genetically modified organism, this technology contribute to sell with low price.For instance, prevailing part of all peoples which have extra fat from lower class with small income of money.So if we rase prices in a necessary products .Then, this people literally can not buy other food products to eat.
Indeed, we must look precily to producing companies and restrict the current food law to do our food less hazardful. High class persons proportion of overweight significantly low because they buy expensive food with natural origin without hazard additions.Therefore, all agroindustry must follow sever rules and this rules absolutely wii be solve this dangerous illness.For example, in countries with good nature and without harmful chemicals in the food growing and processing process.Only few proportion of people suffer from extra weight.So we must see deeply in this problem to successfully rid from it.
In conclusion,in my view increasing the price of fattening foods is not the best solution ,but if we change whole our agroindustry laws and restrictions.Definitely , we can solve a overweight issue forever and fairly to all peoples.
your writing is amazing.
