イントロ

Hi, I’m Sarah. Welcome to The Daily English Show.

Today I’m going to talk about the difference between in and later – I often hear people get this mixed up.

I’ll give you a few examples.

　See you later.
　I’ll be back later.
　She left the party and then she came back an hour later.

　I’ll see you in two weeks.
　I’ll be there in about two hours.
　Can you call me back in about five minutes?

When I’m teaching, at the end of a lesson, I usually say, see you next week, if I’m going to see them the next week or if their next lesson is in two weeks time, then I’ll say, see you in two weeks.

But I noticed that a lot of students don’t know that they should use “in” – and so they say things like: see you two weeks later. Or see you after two weeks.

The site I recommend today is called: eslvideo.com

This is a very cool site. It’s great for teachers – if you want to pick up a video and create a quiz to test your students.

I think you could also use it for your own study too. You could choose a video that you find really interesting and create a quiz for it. And then get your teacher or a friend or someone to check your grammar, and then upload it to the site. And you’ll be improving your English through the process of making the quiz and you’ll also be helping others who can use your quiz.

I made a quiz recently for show 737 – that was the interview with Derek. So you can follow the link and go and check out that quiz.

Also, feel free to make quizzes for The Daily English Show videos too. And one cool feature they have on that site is that you can embed the quizzes in your blog or website.
















STICK NEWS

Kia Ora, in Stick News today, a woman in Russia killed her husband with a folding couch.

　　Do you believe in global warming?


Kim
Do you believe in global warming?
　地球温暖化を信じる？

Sarah
Well, if scientists say the temperatures are rising, then I guess it must be true.
　科学者たちが気温が上昇していると言うなら、たぶんそうなんじゃないかな。

Kim
No, I mean do you think that it’s caused by human activity?
　いや、そうじゃなくて、地球温暖化は人間が原因だと思う？ってこと。

Sarah
I’m not a scientist, so basically I have no idea. But it seems more likely to me that it’s not caused by humans.
　私は科学者じゃないから分からないけど、原因は人間じゃないように思える。

Kim
Why?

Sarah
Because the earth’s climate is always changing naturally.
　なぜなら地球の気候は常に変化しているから。

Kim
It’s changing a lot more recently though.
　最近、その変化が大きいけどね。

Sarah
Mmm, I don’t know about that, but it’s so annoying these days how whenever there’s a storm or something people say, “Oh, it’s because of global warming!” But it’s like, there have always been storms.
　う〜ん、それは分からないけど最近、嵐が来たりとかすると、何でもすぐに「地球温暖化が原因だ」という人が多くてウザイ。　嵐とかはただの自然現象なのにね。

Kim
So we don’t need to care about the environment?
　そうだったら環境に配慮しなくてもイイってこと？

Sarah
No, not at all. I mean, I still care about the environment, but just for other reasons, not really global warming.
　そういうことじゃない。　地球温暖化だけじゃなく他の原因もふまえて、環境に配慮することが大切なんじゃないかな。

Kim
What reasons?
　他の原因とは？

Sarah
Stuff like pollution. I like having clean water, clean air, clean rivers, clean beaches ... like I think it’s OK if we dam a few rivers, but if we left the lights on all the time and wasted electricity then we’d have to dam all the rivers and we’d have no rivers left to enjoy.
　環境汚染とか。　きれいな水、きれいな空気、きれいな川、きれいなビーチが好ましい。　いくつかの川をせき止めてダムを造るのは悪くないと思うけど、もし私たちが無駄な電気を毎日浪費し続けたら、全ての川をせき止めてダムを造らなくてはならなくなって、遊べる川が無くなってしまうよね。

knfの独り言：
僕もサラと同じクイズを作ってみました。　とても簡単に作れました。

英国で制作された『地球温暖化詐欺』という番組をみました。
科学者たちが地球温暖化の原因は二酸化炭素では無いと言っています。
