BBC 6 minute English - Good news

متن پادکست انگلیسی BBC - خوش خبر

Kaz
Hello I’m Kaz and this is 6 Minute English. With me today is Finn. Hello Finn

Finn
Hello Kaz

Kaz
So, what news Finn

Finn
Oh nothing new from me. Just the same old stuff, Kaz

Kaz
Oh well, you know the saying:no news is good news

Finn
That’s certainly true

Kaz
It’s also relevant to today’s programme

Finn
How so

Kaz: Well, have you ever wondered why there’s so little good news around

Finn
You’re right, Kaz. It’s usually bad news that makes the headlines: wars, scandals, murders, financial troubles, disasters

Kaz
OK, so on the subject of bad news, let me try this quiz question on you. According to the BBC, three of the top ten most followed stories of 2012 were about the weather in the UK. But what kind of weather

Was it a) snow storms, b) flooding or c) heat waves

Finn
Mmm. I don’t think it could be heat waves because we’ve had a pretty awful summer. I’ll try a) snow storms

Kaz
Is that your final answer Finn

Finn
Yup. ‘Snow storms’ is my final answer

Kaz
OK. We’ll find out if you’re right at the end of the programme. But now, let’s hear from designer Wayne Hemingway. Now, he was invited into the BBC newsroom and his message to broadcasters was that they should look for more good news, rather than the disasters and grim events that lead most news stories. What kind of stories would he like to get more exposure

Wayne Hemingway

Perhaps it’s time to reflect a little bit about why the main news channels seem to help us concentrate on bad news stories and the seedier side of life. What bothers me is that on the whole, stories that could move mankind forward and positively impact on our lives, don’t get the exposure they deserve

Kaz
Finn, what kind of stories would designer Wayne Hemingway like to see getting more exposure

Finn
Now he says that stories that deserve more exposure are ones about moving mankind forward and positively impacting on our lives – in short, stories about improving our lives

Kaz
Yes, stories that move mankind forward

Finn
That sounds quite grand, dosen’t it Kaz? – almost idealistic. I wonder what kind of stories do that

Kaz
Well, let’s find out. Here’s Wayne again, talking about just that. What two stories does he mention

Wayne Hemingway

In Japan scientists managed to create eggs from mice stem cells raising the hope of a cure for human infertility. The US Journal, Science, said it was one of the most important breakthroughs of the year but you’ve probably never heard of it. And in Israel, Izhar Gafni has developed a bicycle from recycled cardboard, which could bring cheap, clean transport to some of the world’s poorest and most polluted and congested cities.

Kaz
So what are the two good news stories he mentions

Finn
The first is a breakthrough, a significant development, in stem cell research that might lead to a cure for human infertility

Kaz
OK and the second

Finn: A story about a bicycle made from recycled cardboard

Kaz
Yes, it’s a neat idea

Finn
He says these cardboard bicycles could bring cheap, clean transport to some of the world’s poorest, most polluted and congested cities

Kaz
Wayne Hemingway is passionate about getting his message across to broadcasters. He thinks that if we are constantly fed a diet of bad news, it’s what we’ll end up wanting. Now what word does he use to describe this situation

Wayne Hemingway

It’s like saying that tabloids sell more than broadsheets. If that’s fed to the people all of the time that’s what they want but, you know, surely we’ve got to look at things that make us happy sometimes rather than think ‘Oh I’m glad I’m inside in the warmth’, or you know ‘I’m glad I’m not in that country, I’d hate to be there’. I mean it all seems to be a little bit crass at the moment and to me it seems to be getting worse

Kaz

Did you catch that word he used Finn to describe our appetite for bad news

Finn
It was ‘crass’. He said the situation was ‘a little bit crass’ at the moment – ‘crass’ – showing no intelligence or sensitivity

Kaz
And it’s a situation that he thinks is getting worse

Finn
So what can we do about it

Kaz
Let’s find out. Here’s Wayne Hemingway again

Wayne Hemingway

If you search the internet for good news stories there are various websites that address this but they don’t do it justice. Perhaps we need fewer crime and more design correspondents, more science reporters and fewer war reporters and that way we might just encourage people to go out and achieve more and put a smile rather than a grimace on the face of the people at the bus stop

Kaz
Finn, what do we need to redress this situation

Finn
He says that perhaps we need fewer crime correspondents and more design correspondents

Kaz
OK, as a designer himself that makes sense

Finn
Yes, but don’t forget that design is an important contributor to the British economy – so more of those stories would improve things

Kaz
OK. And what else

Finn
More science reporters and fewer war reporters

Kaz
Yes, he says that this would encourage people to go out and achieve more

Finn
He says it would put a smile on people’s faces, rather than a grimace

Kaz
Well, that’s all we have time for today. But before we go though, the answer to this week’s question. According to the BBC, three of the top ten most followed stories of 2012 were about the weather in the UK. What kind of weather was covered

Was it
a) snow storms b) flooding or c) heat waves? Now Finn, you said

Finn
Well, I said a) snow storms because of the snowy weather we’ve been having recently. Was I right

Kaz
I’m afraid not, Finn. The correct answer was … b) flooding. Thanks very much Finn, goodbye

Finn
Goodbye
