VOCABULARY FROM VIDEO “Plastic waste eaten by enzymes ⏲ 6 Minute English” 1. Be sort of: in some way or to some degree 2. Remoulded = change: to completely change the character of someone or something 3. Incinerate : burn 4. Landfill : method of dealing with rubbish by burying it in large holes in the ground 5. Brittle : easily broken, cracked, or snapped 6. Downcycling : creating a recycled object of lesser value and quality than the original waste object 7. Enzyme : chemicals found in living cells which cause changes in other chemicals to happen while not being changed themselves 8. Show promise : have the potential for success in the future 29.2.2024 VIETNAM ALL THE BEST FOR YOU ^^
2:11 "Remoulded": the process of reshaping or reforming a material, often used in the context of manufacturing or recycling 2:26 "Brittle": a material that is hard but prone to breaking or shattering easily, like: glass, eggshell 3:33 "In a pile of rotting leaves": refers to a collection of decaying leaves
It is horrifying to learn that the weight of plastics produced by the world each year is as much as that of total people living on earth. Half of plastics we have used end up in landfilling but it is sad to know only less than 10% can be incinerated. As recycling appears to be more downcycling, the good news is the scientists have disvovered some enzymes that can be used in recycling plastics into its building blocks. I'm utterly glad that the LCC enzyme show promise to break down even stronger plastics. Hope the world is gonna be clean as much as it used to be.
What a solution! The enzymes that can even eat strong plastic show great promise for reducing the large amount of rubbish in the world. Plastic waste, or plastic rubbish, is always an issue that people are concerned about; while most of us think that plastic waste should be incinerated, it doesn’t show efficiency due to the harmful pollution it causes. When I walk through my hometown, I often see plenty of plastic rubbish, which negatively affects the environment. If this invention proves effective, it could greatly improve the beauty of many landscapes, including my hometown, a breathtaking place, which is affected by plastic rubbish, though.
The idea of plastic waste eaten by enzymes is good but it would be better if we can replace the plastic with another product less polluting and less expensive
When you cause something to happen, it means that you make something, a chemical reaction in this case, occur. So in this context you can use happen as a synonym for occur
@@Timo_UAUnderstood. It’s not necessary “enzymes” but any mechanisms that could neutralize nuclear waste! Nuclear waste is much more damaging and dangerous to the environment and livelihood of our planet than any other wastes!

Indeed!

Interesting video. Thank you for uploading
We absolutely love the subjects you choose for the lessons🙌🙏
Thanks BBC
The idea of plastic waste eaten by enzymes is good but it would be better if we can replace the plastic with another product less polluting and less expensive
Yes, but what product should we use rather than plastic ?
Incenerate: đốt
Landfill: chôn
Brittle: dễ hỏng
Downcycling = recylce nhưng clg sp sẽ đi xuống
Enzymes
Show promise: có tiềm năng
Hi everyone, I'm from Myanmar.
The situations here are getting worse day by day. 😢
5:47 what's the function of TO HAPPEN there? I don't make sense of it.
When you cause something to happen, it means that you make something, a chemical reaction in this case, occur. So in this context you can use happen as a synonym for occur
Thank you so much for making these videos!
😊 Thank you for watching!
@@bbclearningenglish I adored all this content. It has taught me a lot.
Thank you , love this channel🎉
Hope plastic risk can be solved one day. New enzyme may be the plastic terminator.
One of the problems with these enzimes in my opitnion is to prevent them from recycing the plastic which is still in use )))
Yes, I agree
The older I get, the more brittle my bones get 😢
Hope one day, scientists are able to create enzymes that can eat nuclear waste!
I'm afraid, nuclear waste cannot be neutralized using chemical reactions, it needs other types of transformation which affect the nucleus.
@@Timo_UAUnderstood. It’s not necessary “enzymes” but any mechanisms that could neutralize nuclear waste! Nuclear waste is much more damaging and dangerous to the environment and livelihood of our planet than any other wastes!
Or Humans 😂
And then what will happen to those enzymes???
Great news!
Thanks you
this video includes interesting things that I did not know.
Thanks a lot
WONDERFUL!
Hello everyone ❤ , the best speech is about plastic
Hello teacher thank you a for a video
Thanks

What if it was about the leap day
"I have a question, please answer. In the case of spoken English, can I use 'I have got a fancy for you' to mean 'to start like something'?"
There are 4 hundred tonnes incinerated at the landfill per year
The problem is they already used in the past enzymes to ash cloths ! An ecological disaster! Let's hope it's not the same !
Is it British accent ?
Yes, Neil and Beth are both from 🇬🇧 the UK.
Hi, I am from Pakistan
Good luck
Some of plastic gets incinerated
And more than half go straight to landfill
Reduce, reuse and recycle!?
Hopefully the newest medication will show promise to me soon.
The spacecraft and its crew were incinerated by billion-degree temperatures generated by the fireball
Hello 👋
North pole is the northernmost area on the planet

Ok plastic waste increase to produce in the world
This is the first time ever that Beth has given a wrong answer 😅

Hellow I want someone who talk english ❤who is ready

There are not subtitles in other langouges. For study new words we need to translation text, but here we can't. Stupid lerning programm.
