शैडोइंग अभ्यास: 280826 BBC Points West, Evening News - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

Thank you Jane.

Welcome to Friday's Points West.

I'm Amanda Parr.

Coming up on the programme tonight, a day out on the ambulances.

Crews say they're under more pressure than ever.

They're expecting the bank holiday to be challenging.

If you're a member of the public, you can help us out as well across that period by using us sensibly, calling us if it's an emergency.

But if not, think about using 111 instead.

Yes, the plea, only call them if you really need them.

Also on the programme tonight, the students told at the last minute their school would not be taking any Year 12 students.

Families say they're concerned for the future.

The youngest swimmers ever to cross the Bristol Channel from Penarth to Clevedon.

They're having a well-earned rest on the Points West sofa tonight.

And forwards thinking, the Bristol festival that's giving out zero pollution for the very first time.

Good evening.

First tonight, the Southwestern Ambulance Service is asking people to be mindful of the pressure it's under ahead of this bank holiday weekend.

At times, during this summer, for the first time ever, staff had to deal with over 4,000 calls in a single day.

The service is now talking about summer pressures being as difficult as winter ones

and it's asking people to think carefully before calling 999.

We've struggled then with being able to respond the way we would normally want to respond

that means we prioritize the highest the highest categories of calls

so those patients who are really unwell getting ambulances first

that does mean others have had to wait I'm sorry

that there's been some patients waiting you can help us out though by only calling us

when it's necessary if you don't think it's an emergency try one one one first.

Well the ambulance response times show just how stressed the service became.

In June on peak days ambulances took on average over 67 minutes to reach category two emergency calls

which include heart attacks or strokes.

The national standard is 18 minutes.

But when should you call an ambulance?

Well the Trust allowed us to go out with their paramedics in Taunton to see what an average day looks like.

This beacon went with them.

Did you get the obstacle out of the bag?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They're all in here now.

It's 11am, the start of a 10-hour shift.

The ambulance has been loaded and we're off to our first call.

Blue lighting to a property half an hour away in Minehead, where a man has activated his personal alarm and is no longer responding.

We get there and the patient is fine.

Hello, it's the ambulance service. Who?

It's the ambulance service.

The alarm had been activated in a test, but the ambulance service hadn't been stood down.

We never quite know.

It could be an accidental activation.

It could be that he really needed help.

So, yeah, unfortunately, we have to respond the same way.

Lee and Sophie say this can happen a lot, but it's taken up over an hour of ambulance time.

The job is cleared down and the next gets radioed through straight away.

We've got an 89-year-old female, it's had a funny turn, they've become disorientated, heavy laboured breathing.

And to my net hospital, let's go.

But on the way to hospital, things change.

I'm diverted to a care home for a lady that's fallen down.

A care home nine miles away where a resident has fallen and hurt her knee.

Staff at the home had called 999 because she was unable to stand and her leg was swelling up.

It takes an hour for her to finish her lunch

and to get her inside the ambulance before we take her to Musgrove Park Hospital.

Once the crew are assigned to a job, they have to see it through, even if there are more urgent calls coming through.

The radio was going off a little bit.

There were several general broadcasts for Category 1 emergencies that were in the area.

but unfortunately we have to kind of just switch off to the noise in the background

and just deal with what we're doing at the time.

It can get frustrating if you start to overthink it when you're on duty.

Thank you.

On to the next job.

To a woman who's complaining of heart palpitations 20 miles away.

It's now four o'clock.

Well we are now six hours into our shift.

We've just finished our third job.

We've come to a property in Bridgewater.

This is the second time in 12 hours that this woman has called for an ambulance.

But at this moment in time, they haven't been able to find anything wrong with her.

The job is cleared down.

We prepare for the next grabbing a coffee while we can, the first of the day.

Our next job is a ride down the M5 to Western Supermare to a man who's complaining of chest pains.

He doesn't want to be filmed, but tells our crew he's scared he has cancer.

He's been sick and has severe stomach pain which has been ongoing for months.

We take him to Western General.

Unfortunately they've been kind of a chronic long-term thing but he's not been seen by any medical professional.

So yeah therefore we had to bring him in today to be seen by a medical professional.

And that obviously felt like the right decision?

He also had chest pain so with all of those symptoms especially

because he's not been seen by anybody he absolutely needed to be seen today.

Our 10-hour shift is done.

We've handled four cases, none of which turned out to be life-threatening emergencies.

For the ambulance crew, it's felt like a fairly standard day.

Liz Beacon, BBC Points West.

Well, we'd love to hear your experience of calling an ambulance.

Maybe it was good, maybe not

so much please do get in touch by scanning the QR code that's about to pop up.

There it is.

Or you can email us at pointswest at bbc.co.uk.

A South Gloucestershire woman whose husband died after severe turbulence on a Singapore Airlines flight has started legal action against the airline.

73-year-old Geoff Kitchen from Thornbury died two years ago when their plane descended 6,000 feet in just a few minutes.

The law company Erwin Mitchell say the family want to know if more could have been done

and they have issued High Court proceedings for damages against Singapore Airlines.

Concerns remain about a Wiltshire school after it cancelled Year 12 at short notice.

Ten days before the start of term, Wellington Academy in Tidworth sent an email to parents telling them they would need to find an alternative sixth form.

It's left parents scrambling to find places for their children at other schools, while other parents have told us they're worried for the future.

Dickon Hooper reports.

100

GCSE results day at Wellington Academy and smiles all round.

101

No, I can't stop it!

102

But that all changed pretty quickly for those who wanted to do sixth form here.

103

So these are your GCSE results, Chloe.

104

Talk me through them.

105

So I was very, very pleased with my nine in English language because I worked very, very hard.

106

And you passed them all?

107

Yeah, I did pass them all.

108

Days after getting her grades...

109

I've got a nine in English.

110

Chloe was told there was no year 12 happening this year at Wellington.

111

My heart dropped because that's where I was set on going.

112

I was so excited to go there.

113

It was just really confusing to go from having a complete plan as to what we need to do, exactly how we're going to do it.

114

Because we were looking at travel, like how to get there just the day before, and then for it to be completely flipped on us within hours.

115

Tidworth is a small place with a lot of military families, and some were worried today about the knock-on effect of the school's decision.

116

It's my granddaughter, yeah.

117

She's 12.

118

It would be a shame if she couldn't carry on.

119

We don't know what's going to happen by the time she gets there, but for you it's concerning that that sixth form is closing for year 12?

120

Well yeah, it is.

121

You've had a couple of kids through Wellington Academy, what do you think about year 12 closing?

122

I think it's really poor on the children in the community, given the short notice and the chaos that will cause.

123

The trust which runs the Academy has not responded to our questions or request for a statement.

124

In an email to students explaining what was going on, the head teacher here did apologise.

125

She said it was a decision that hadn't been taken lightly, but the school just could not offer what those Year 12 students deserved.

126

Chloe has found a place at a different college, although she's packing for Reading Festival first, and she's staying positive.

127

It is really, really annoying and disappointing, quite frankly, but there's nothing we can do about it.

128

It's over, and I've got a place where I'm happy now.

129

Dick and Hooper, BBC Points West.

130

That's really unsettling for everyone involved.

131

Now you're watching Points West.

132

We're very happy to have you along for the ride tonight.

133

And there's lots more coming up between now and seven o'clock.

134

There's a chance at some cricketing silverware for Somerset's women this weekend in the T20 County Cup.

135

And tens of thousands of people are expected at Forwards Festival on the weekend on the Clifton Danes.

136

This year it's powered entirely by renewable energy.

137

We'll be live with Ross before you know it. But next, special matting has been laid on the beach at Western Supermare

138

to make it easier for people with reduced mobility to get onto the sand.

139

It's been installed at one of the entrances to the main beach with the hope

140

that in future the area can be extended.

141

Liam McGuinn reports.

142

My dream has always been to put my feet in the water, but I know that's a long way off.

143

It may not look like much, but these mats on the seafront are proving to be a real game changer.

144

So I haven't been able to get on the beach since I've become a wheelchair user, so I have to watch everything from the promenade.

145

So if I've got friends and family here who want to go on the beach, I have to sit and watch them and enjoy it from a distance.

146

It's frustrating, because you're missing out on whatever's going on down here, even if they come to the wall,

147

I'm still separate to what's going on on the beach.

148

North Somerset Council put them down following calls from campaigners.

149

The mats have to be weighed down so they're not washed away by the tide.

150

This is something we've been wanting to do for quite a long time.

151

We've understood the access issues that some people have to the beach

152

and they should be able to enjoy the beach as much as absolutely anyone else.

153

The trial is in full flow, but users say there are still many improvements that could be made.

154

To make it, I would say gold standard is to have more accessible beach chairs.

155

I know they have a chair here so it'd be good to more of them to make it fully inclusive.

156

I'm not sure if it'd be appropriate right along the beach, parts of our beach have much stronger tide issues

157

and the sand gets moved and you know many people see the sand being moved up

158

and down the beach by the council

159

but you know in terms of where we are now I hope

160

that we can now progress and make this section much bigger, start moving it down the beach a little bit

161

so people can have a much wider space

162

because the more popular it becomes of course the more space we're going to need around.

163

At the moment the Matting covers a relatively small area but that could be expanded on feedback from the trial.

164

Leah McGuinn, BBC Points West, Western Super Mayor.

165

Now there are lots of local stories to read through on the BBC News website.

166

This evening if you'd like to take a look here are just a few.

167

Police in Gloucester say they're working to eradicate antisocial behaviour in the city centre.

168

Residents say people are drunk on the streets, fighting and shoplifting.

169

Police say they're taking steps so it feels safer for everyone.

170

There's a search underway for a group of rare sheep roaming the Tidworth area of Wiltshire.

171

It's thought they've been dumped and are wandering free.

172

14 have been caught already but a local rescue thinks there are more.

173

And age is just a number for Bill Greenwood here from Somerset.

174

He's He's the first England international hockey player to reach 90 and still be playing.

175

He loves the game.

176

He loves the company.

177

You can find all those stories and more on the BBC News website and the BBC News app.

178

Now, two 14-year-old girls from Somerset have become the youngest people to swim across the Bristol Channel from Penarth to Clevedon.

179

Wow, this distance is just short of 30 kilometres.

180

The tides took them around Flatholme Island

181

and they swam into clevedon six and a half hours after setting off absolutely incredible

182

and i'm delighted to say that susie and izzy are here with me now along with their coach

183

hamish mccarthy welcome everybody hello what an achievement you two are

184

just a pair of legends huge congratulations how are you feeling

185

um i'm a bit tired still my arms are a bit

186

sore i think you allowed I think it's I think it's

187

really really I'm really proud of us actually yeah I'm proud of us today

188

and I think it's crazy thinking that we were stood at the beginning on that beach

189

and we actually said something to each other along the lines of do you think we can actually do

190

that so you had a little one and then sooner

191

or later you lose lack of time I'm a stone the

192

other end in Cleveland you probably zoned out going through the motions of the process It's the furthest that you've ever swum.

193

Physically, how did you feel going through it?

194

It was very tiring.

195

So about near the end, maybe two hours to go, just under, my arm started hurting and I got a horrible pain.

196

Like, I think, is this your tricep?

197

In your tricep and in your lats.

198

And it's just putting your arm over.

199

I just got like this horrible pain and

200

when I had a feed I got a bit of a rest

201

and some more energy so

202

that really helped a bit more often you didn't both get

203

out at exactly the same time did you what happened well I'm younger than Izzy

204

so I let her get up first

205

so she could hold the record for the youngest person as well as I could even

206

if it's just 10 seconds that's friendship isn't it amazing

207

and then was Was there a big celebration once you'd achieved the feat?

208

Well, we had fish and chips when we got back to Penarth.

209

That'll do it.

210

They were really yummy.

211

Best fish and chips you've ever had.

212

We had a really big portion.

213

You needed it.

214

And I had to listen to some singing in the car as we drove home for two hours as well.

215

Some of the songs were good, some were a bit young for me.

216

But you felt you wanted to celebrate in any which way you could.

217

Hamish, can you put into words how it felt to watch them complete this amazing challenge?

218

I don't think...

219

I was worried during the swim, but afterwards I was so proud.

220

I mean, I'm still emotional now.

221

It was a good job the sun was shining

222

because I had my sunglasses on and those contact lens problems

223

that people have when they get a little bit emotional and proud.

224

I was full of that.

225

Full of that.

226

In fact, I was glad we had some chips because it gave me something else to concentrate on.

227

Because you've been there for every step of the way, and there's a lot of training involved to do something like this.

228

Yeah, so these girls have been training for over a year.

229

They've been getting up early to go to early morning training on an indoor pool.

230

They've been swimming outside in Wivy Pool.

231

It's a great outdoor local Lido that we have.

232

They've been training in there when the heat's been turned up, but also during the winter when the heat was turned down.

233

And we swam throughout the winter, so we swam in the sea

234

when it got too cold we put a bit of neoprene on as it warmed up in April

235

and May we were back doing it in skin

236

so these girls put the miles in and they really acclimatized well

237

and they got themselves ready to swim it

238

and boy they smashed it as well they did smash it

239

and tell me quickly about the awareness

240

that you want this swim to raise yeah we were raising awareness of the cleaner seas

241

and rivers and just against sewage pollution

242

so about a week ago we were swimming along near Babacombe

243

and we got to the area you said it was about the size of a football yeah football pitch

244

and it just stank of sewage and you just want people to be aware

245

that this is happening and something should be done about it

246

and yeah we don't want people swimming through sewage getting ill like you both have.

247

I'm sure that this challenge will raise that awareness that you're after.

248

You've both done brilliantly.

249

Put your feet up a bit and recover.

250

We're very proud.

251

Well done.

252

Thank you.

253

Thanks very much.

254

Now, the RAC is predicting a record 20 million leisure journeys over the coming bank holiday weekend,

255

making it the busiest getaway since its records began in 2015.

256

Today was expected to be busiest day with 4.1 million journeys

257

with severe congestion forecast on the m5 motorists are being urged to prepare for long delays carry water

258

and check their vehicles before setting off

259

it's good advice now on to sport as the cricket season

260

heads into its final month there is a chance of some

261

silverware this weekend ali's here to tell us a bit more about that evening evening Yeah, we're keeping our fingers crossed for the weather in Manchester,

262

Amanda, because Somerset's women will be there for the T20 County Cup Finals Day.

263

They take on Surrey in the semifinals before hopefully progressing through to the final itself tomorrow evening.

264

Well, this is the team's second season since turning professional.

265

And as Jack Kyler reports, they're keen to mark their progress with a trophy.

266

Last weekend, it was a brilliant performance against Hampshire, which booked Somerset women a place in their first T20 County Cup finals day.

267

Now back in the nets in Taunton, they're on the eve of potentially making history by winning their first piece of silverware as a professional side.

268

Truth be told, when I first got here, finals did feel like a long way away, but the group has adapted to the brand we want to play.

269

They've been really positive, and any opportunity they get to progress the game, they've taken that.

270

It's been a really nice reward to make it to finals, and hopefully the weather turns it on for us and we get two quality games in.

271

Sophie Luff has been associated with the club for her entire career

272

and will lead the side out as captain at Old Trafford against Surrey in the semi-final.

273

Yeah, this year I've actually got a little photo of young Sophie on my locker and yeah, it's just a reminder of I guess where I started.

274

Yeah, she probably wouldn't believe where I am right now and probably the season that I've had to be honest.

275

For the fans who followed them this season, it's a proud moment.

276

But it's great the men made it and the ladies have gone

277

and followed them as well so it's a really good response

278

and been building all season and really pleased that they've got to the final Let's hope they can do the business.

279

I think they've got a very good chance of making the actual final But depends who they play.

280

I think the blaze are going to be pretty good, but I hope they'll beat Surrey Oh, they've got a good chance I think they've got a good chance for

281

that What would it mean to you to bring the first piece of silverware of the professional era back here to Taunton?

282

Yeah, it's hugely exciting.

283

I guess it's what you do all the hard work for and yeah, I guess I'm getting to the back end of my career as well and

284

Those are the things that you kind of really want to tick off.

285

I absolutely love this club I love the people involved there and if we can bring a trophy back Yeah, I'll be mega chuffed myself But I know that the people of Somerset will be really proud as well.

286

For the last few years It's been Somerset's men's side who brought T20 glory back here to Taunton

287

Now it's a chance for the women's team to etch their names in the club's history books.

288

Jack Kyler, BBC Points West, Taunton.

289

Thanks, Jack.

290

Now there's lots of football over the bank holiday weekend, starting with the National League tonight.

291

Both Yeovil Town and Forest Green Rovers have made long, long journeys to the north-west to face Barrow and Fylde, respectively.

292

But don't worry, BBC Local Radio will have commentary so you can enjoy it from the comfort of your own home.

293

And a fair bit of travelling tomorrow in the Football League as well.

294

Only Bristol City at home.

295

That's to Portsmouth at Ashton Gate.

296

Bath-based tennis player Toby Samuel has continued his impressive year by qualifying for the US Open.

297

Toby is now ranked just outside the top 100 in the world after playing Wimbledon and the French Open earlier this year.

298

He's won three rounds of qualifying in New York to earn his place in the main draw.

299

The men's singles begins on Sunday, so another chance for Toby to test himself against the best in the world.

300

Good luck to him.

301

him.

302

Thank you, Ellie.

303

That's brilliant.

304

Good stuff.

305

Now then, the West is at the forefront when it comes to finding ways to make festivals sustainable.

306

And this weekend, the stages at Bristol's Forward Festival will be powered entirely by energy, which gives out zero pollution.

307

The music has started tonight.

308

Ross Pollard is there to enjoy it.

309

How are you doing, Ross?

310

Yeah, good evening, Amanda.

311

It's a lovely evening here on the Downs in Bristol.

312

Everyone's taken all their coats on that it was heavy rain earlier

313

but now lovely setting here to watch the music for the

314

rest of the evening more on the festival in a moment

315

but as you said this year's festival is powered mainly by

316

renewable energy the two stages here one of them powered by

317

rechargeable batteries the other one by hydrogen they've been trialing it

318

out at different events in our region to see how it works

319

and long term they want to sort of widen it out

320

to different parts of the country as well it's in part

321

organized by the western england mayor in the region earlier we were given behind the scenes look to exactly how it works.

322

Sight, we bring that to sight

323

and we use a hydrogen power generator behind me to turn

324

that hydrogen into clean electricity with zero emissions at the point of use.

325

So we're powering the main stage for the whole weekend and the only output will be clean pure water.

326

So pure that you can drink it.

327

I'm just so proud that this is coming out of the west of England

328

because it just speaks to who we are I think you know we've always been a region

329

that cares about our environment cares about clean energy about clean air

330

but we also love to have a good time there'll be

331

people watching at home whenever we do any stories about rechargeable

332

batteries as they they're not clean you have to get different parts

333

and different parts of the world to make those batteries we're not a perfect state I probably won't be around

334

when we get to a perfect state

335

but what we're doing is moving from something

336

which is very clearly producing dirty air which is affecting people's health

337

and we're trying to think about innovative clean ways that we can do that better.

338

I mean the point of a pilot is

339

that we have to prove it works

340

and it's the next phase where we keep doing this and that is about telling the rest of the country about it, thinking about other events in our region.

341

It's good news for the region

342

and I will absolutely be shouting about it to the Prime Minister himself

343

and also to the rest of the mayors across the country.

344

Well that's how it's being powered but exactly what's happening over the weekend

345

and we just had Esher Tawari come off one of the stages here but the The special event starts tomorrow.

346

The man who knows more about it is Ben, one of the organisers here.

347

A lot going on this weekend.

348

Indeed, yeah.

349

We've got, starting from 12 o'clock tomorrow,

350

we've got a huge musical programme with headliners from Wet Leg to Little Sims to Thames.

351

And then we've lots of local artists as well playing across all the stages.

352

In addition to that, we've got the kids area, which has got a new teens area as well, for all the youth demographic.

353

We've got a talk stage with lots of public speaking and then we've also got lots of local food traders.

354

The weather of the weekend is looking a bit iffy.

355

How are you going to take that on board?

356

We've put comms out to everyone already.

357

Just make sure you bring a jacket, a good pair of shoes and a little bit of suntan lotion because it's all over the place.

358

It hasn't stopped people though.

359

Tens of thousands of people expected, aren't they?

360

Exactly, yeah.

361

So we're expecting about 55 to 6,000 people over the three days.

362

Brilliant.

363

Nice to meet you.

364

There we go, Matt.

365

If you want to come along the weekend, make sure you bring your waterproof and some good shoes if you're going to enjoy the festival.

366

It's good advice, Ross.

367

Thank you.

368

And a little bit of rain might make that grass green again, mightn't it?

369

Let's move on to the weather forecast, shall we?

370

Ian's here and so is the bank holiday.

371

What have we got?

372

It is.

373

It won't be like some prior bank holidays.

374

It will be a very changeable affair.

375

In summary, Monday will ultimately become the most improved and best day, but there will be rain on the other two, as indeed there was today.

376

Beautiful shot from Dursley here.

377

Looking out west, you can see the clouds thickening up, and that was signalling the approach of some further showers and showery outbreaks of rain from that direction.

378

As you can see on the radar, the dry conditions initially were moved aside.

379

The showers got going.

380

Some of those turned thundery once again up towards Gloucestershire and one or two other spots as well.

381

Of late, the bulk of this is now moving out across the east.

382

There are signs of it tending to become a less showery evening now

383

and a little bit of a lull before this next quite

384

deep air of low pressure moves in across southern parts of the country tomorrow, bringing rain particularly through the first half of Saturday for us and quite windy conditions, particularly in the south.

385

Again, a lull and then the next sequence of fronts comes through on Sunday.

386

But in contrast to Saturday, it'll be the second part of the day that'll be more prone to wet weather.

387

On Saturday, it'll tend to be the first, but it's a bit complicated, so I'll show you.

388

On Monday this ridge of high pressure builds, hence the day will improve particularly later through the afternoon into the evening

389

and less windy as well So still a few showers around this evening

390

but overall a good deal drier so like I said a bit of a lull through this period

391

but towards the end of the night onwards some further showers starting to gather

392

and here comes the rain for tomorrow morning the temperatures overnight somewhere close to about the mid-teens

393

So tomorrow then this area of rain will spread its way steadily east-northeastwards

394

behind it associated with the centre of low pressure which is moving that way

395

will be this feature here and

396

that could give some quite heavy maybe even thundery rain the exact distribution of

397

that is a bit uncertain

398

but you can see thereafter signs of again improvement a bit

399

like today as we head late afternoon into the evening

400

so for example cricket fixtures tomorrow there will for sure be periods of disruption depending

401

when they actually start playing there's likely to be some rain

402

at some of the other sporting events at the different stages through the weekend, temperatures tomorrow about the high teens to about the low 20s.

403

So as I mentioned on Sunday, it's a switch around.

404

It'll be the second half of Sunday where there will be increased threat of some wet weather.

405

And again, some of that could prove quite heavy as it moves eastwards.

406

It will be an underpinning story of quite windy conditions through that period.

407

But you'll see the signs there of an improved day for Bank Holiday Monday.

408

As we head into next week, Tuesday actually I think could be a lot drier than

409

that symbol suggests but the rest of the week is again looking pretty unsettled but temperature's still above average for now.

410

But we're all over the place.

411

It is.

412

Thank you, Ian.

413

That's it from all of us tonight.

414

The long weekend starts here, I'd say.

415

If you've got a bit of time to yourself, enjoy the next few days.

416

We'll have bulletins for you throughout, of course, and I'll see you again at half ten.

417

Take care.

418

Bye-bye.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
