Read An Article From The NEWS With Me! (Learn Advanced English Vocabulary And Grammar)

Welcome to JForrest English, I'm Jennifer.

And today, we're going to read a news article together from Scientific American and this

article will help you add a lot of advanced grammar.

Advanced vocabulary improve your reading skills, and even improve your pronunciation.

Let's get started our headline, lab-grown meat beef for dinner without killing animals,

or the environment?

So, in this picture, as you can see,

This looks like a piece of meat, right?

But clearly this is also a lab.

So this is me that was made in a lab and no animal had to be killed.

Wow, the future is here.

So, let's learn about this very interesting topic, imagine biting into a juicy burger.

That was produced without killing animals.

Let's take a look at this adjectives.

Juicy it.

The burger notice my pronunciation, burger burger burger, burger burger into a juicy

burger.

When something is

Juicy, this is an adjective that normally describes food and it means it has a

lot of juice

which you can think of as a lot of liquid.

So think of a piece of fruit, like a pineapple and all the liquid.

In that pineapple.

So a pineapple

is Juicy.

A mango is Juicy.

What's another juicy fruit?

You can you think of any others, share it in the comments.

So imagine biting into a juicy burger and I should note that generally in terms of describing

meat juicy, is a positive quality.

You want your burger to be juicy.

The opposite is dry.

So

Rewrite, this opposite of Juicy is dry because when something is dry, there's no liquid at

all.

Now generally, this is used as a - oh the burger was really dry.

The meat was dry.

It's a negative.

So a juicy burger that was produced without killing animals.

Notice here, we have our eye and gr gerund form of the verb.

Why?

Because without is a preposition and

And we use the gerund verb after prepositions without killing animals.

Meat, grown in a laboratory.

Notice the pronunciation here because there is a difference between American English,

which I teach and British English, and American English laboratory laboratory.

But notice in the headline, they're referring to lab-grown meat.

If you can't remember the correct pronunciation, just

Little AB because the majority of the time we do call it a lab is the short form for

the word laboratory.

I'm going to the lab.

I need to go to the lab.

Can you drop me off at the lab?

Okay?

Meat grown in a laboratory from cultured cells, which I imagine is what we see in this image.

Here is turning that Vision into a reality.

When you turn a vision into a reality is another way of saying it becomes real.

So right now, for example, Elon Musk is turning his vision of going to Mars into a reality

right every day.

He's getting closer and closer with the actions that he's taking and right now you by watching

this video,

Learning these Advanced Expressions.

You're turning your vision of speaking English fluently, and confidently into a reality,

right?

So let me write that down for you.

So here it is.

And notice again, we have that ingr Jaron were because we have the preposition of I'm

turning my vision.

I was speaking English, fluently, and confidently, into a reality, and if you want more help

with that, you should guess.

Get this free speaking guy because this guide was designed to teach you how to speak English

fluently and confidently in six.

Easy steps, it's absolutely free and you can download it on my website, the link is in

the description and you can also download the free lesson PDF which summarizes everything

in this lesson, the link is also in the description.

Okay, let's continue on.

Several startups are developing lab-grown beef.

Pork

poultry and seafood.

So these are the different types of meat that are being developed in the lab.

The laboratory, if widely adopted, widely adopted, this means that many people are using

the product or service.

And in this case the product is lab-grown meat.

So using would be purchasing it right?

That

Would mean, it's widely adopted.

So many people are using it.

Many people are using it and notice if widely adopted while the subject is lab-grown meat,

but it they just placed it after.

But you could also say if lab-grown meat is widely adopted and then you could continue

on with your sentence.

So just an alternative way of writing.

That lab-grown meat also called clean made.

So this is an alternative name could eliminate much of the cruel on ethical treatment of

animals raised for food.

It could also reduce the considerable environmental cause of meat production, okay?

Notice they're using the modal verb.

Could it could reduce the environmental cost, it could eliminate

Innate, they're doing that because this is right now A hypothetical situation because

it doesn't actually exist in the market.

Fully, it's still being developed today.

So could as a modal verb is used to show possibility possibility or potential possibility potential,

it doesn't mean it will happen and remember because it's a modal verb, it's followed by.

By the base verb.

Not the infinitive.

That's why it's could eliminate and not could to eliminate so modal + base verb, that's

the sentence structure.

All right.

It could also reduce the considerable.

This is a nice adjectives considerable.

As an adjective means, large, one more talking about the degree.

So how much of an environmental cost is there?

If I say there's a considerable environmental cost, it's a large amount of environmental

cost so large, and

Tentative word for it would be significant.

You could also say significant environmental costs of meat production.

so you could say in a more everyday context, I have a considerable amount of work to do,

so it's telling you how much a large amount

The meat is made by first taking a muscle sample from an animal, of course muscle.

Now, muscles are all over our body.

I'm just pointing at a common one.

I don't have very big muscles but there's a muscle their technicians.

These are the people who work in a lab, a lab tech.

So we also commonly shortened the word technician, because it's very

Common to casually say I'm a lab tech.

I'm a laboratory technician.

Now of course, if you're writing your formal resume, you wouldn't say lab tech.

You would use the full form but in casual conversation or a speech you would definitely

say oh I'm a lab tech technicians collect stem cells from the tissue.

So within muscle there is tissue and then within that tissue there

There are cells stem cells from the tissue.

Multiply them dramatically.

So dramatically is a adverb like significantly dramatically again.

It means to a large degree, I could also say considerably as an adverb, so it means quite

quickly in this context because we're talking about multiplying,

So to multiply means you would go from 2 to 4, 4 to 8, 8 to 16 and then be on and on and

on, but it does that dramatically.

So at the, it happens very quickly and in large quantities.

So you could go from to stem cells to 1000 stem cells in a small amount of time.

So that would be dramatically

And allow them to differentiate into primitive fibers.

So fibers are like strands of hair almost, but they're within your muscle, your tissue

fibers.

That then bulk up in the context of fibers or tissue or muscle bulk up means to become

larger.

So, you see,

This a lot in the Sports World, if you're about to go to a sports competition, you would

probably want to bulk up, which means you would want your muscles to become larger before

your competition.

You would go to the gym and you would go to the gym a lot because you want to bulk up.

It's not just your arm muscles.

It could be muscles, all over your body and you'll see advertisements on TV, for take

this pill and

It will help you bulk up, which means it will help your you and your muscles, your body

become larger.

So let me just write that to become larger but in the context of your body, your muscles

to become larger,

Body muscles.

I don't want to bulk up, but some people clearly do for different reasons.

Then bulk up to form muscle tissue.

Mosin meet says that one tissue sample from a cow.

Can yield enough muscle tissue to make 80,000 Quarter Pounders, wow.

So

yield means to produce

Zeus in the sense of result, in produce result in produce.

Let me write this produce

result in.

So one tissue sample can yield produce resulting 80,000 Burgers, that's insane Quarter Pounder.

If you didn't know is a burger, it's a burger that is made with a quarter pound of meat.

A burger made from a quarter pound of meat if you like burgers and if you eat at McDonald's

you'll know that a name of a burger at McDonalds is a quarter pounder.

You can order a quarter pounder at McDonald's.

That is all a lot of burgers.

Wow.

I hope you're enjoying this lesson and if you are, then I want to tell you about the

So you can look in the description for a link on how

Let's continue a number of the startups, I think they use this before.

I didn't mention it, you probably know this.

It's very common term these days but a start-up is a company that has recently been established.

It's a very young company young in the sense of it's a new company.

So, a company.

That has recently been established a number of the startup.

Say they expect to how products for sale within the next few years.

Now, to be honest, this article is quite old.

I think it's from 2018.

So the next few years could be any day now this year or next year.

So this is going to be coming to your

oh, SRI stores.

What do you think?

Would you buy lab-grown meat?

Knowing that it could reduce environmental damage and it could reduce harm to animals?

Is that something that you would want to support?

Hmm, that's an interesting question.

Share your comments about lab-grown meat.

If you would want to to eat it or not in the comments but clean meat.

Remember, this was an alternative

Name to lab-grown meat, but clean meat will have to overcome a number of barriers if it

is to be commercially viable.

So if something is commercially, viable, viable is another way of seeing successful and how

is something commercially successful.

Well, it has to be profitable in order for a company to be viable, successful, they need

to make enough money.

Money to cover their expenses which means profitable.

So although they're saying, commercially viable is just another way of really singing profitable

because that is what a commercially viable company

is profitable.

But clean meat will have to overcome a number of barriers.

A barrier is something that prevents you from getting somewhere, you might be driving down

the road and then you get to a bridge and they're doing repairs to the bridge.

So, they put a barrier in front of the bridge, which could be pylons or just a piece of of

wood across

Cross the bridge, but it prevents you from going any further.

It's a barrier.

So you will encounter barriers.

When you're commuting, you're driving and you can also count encounter barriers in terms

of problems difficulties or challenges because they prevent you from from progressing, from

going further and overcome is another way of

seeing

solve.

So you solve eliminate overcome

solve

eliminate get rid of overcome.

You find the solution to

let's continue on to our cost and taste to to what you always have to think about what

you've read before.

And they were just talking about a number of barriers.

So now they're telling us about two of these barriers.

So you could absolutely say

Two of these barriers are cost and taste in 2013.

When a burger made from lab-grown meat, was presented to journalists the Patty.

This is just another way of saying burger, the burger patty, the burger

Generally think of McDonald's or any fast food restaurant, when you get a burger, it

has the bun, the Patty and things like ketchup mustard, onions, pickles cheese.

So all of that together, forms a complete burger.

And then the meat in the burger is referred to a Patty.

The burger patty.

So that's the piece of meat.

In a burger.

Let me just write that for you burger patty the piece of meat in a burger because remember

a burger is not just the meat, it's the bond and all the other toppings as well.

The Patty costs more than three hundred thousand dollars.

Oh that's one expensive burger to produce and was overly dry.

Ah, here we

Of that adjectives.

What's the opposite of dry?

Good test.

You learn this at the beginning.

The opposite of dry is juicy.

And what did I say is dry a positive thing or a negative thing to describe a burger as

dry.

It's a negative thing.

It's a criticism of that burger.

It means it didn't taste very good and by saying overly overly means too much then you

wanted so overly more than you wanted or need it.

You could say

the meeting was long and this is more just stating.

A fact, the meeting was long that doesn't necessarily tell you if that's a positive

thing or a negative thing, it's just more of a factual thing.

But if you say the meeting was overly long.

Now this is negative because overly means more than you wanted or need it.

Let's continue to receive Market.

Of all clean, me will have to be proved safe to eat.

So Market approval means it's approved to sell at the grocery store.

The government says, yes, you can sell this product at the grocery store, that would be

Market approval.

Meanwhile, traditional meat, producers are pushing back when you push back on something.

Generally, a rule Apollo

To see a decision.

It means you're saying no, I don't want that or you're saying no, we shouldn't do that.

You're pushing back.

So you're voicing an opposing opinion to push back.

Voicing, an opposing opinion or view or option.

So maybe your boss wants everyone to work an hour later every single day?

That's his new idea.

Hey team, I have this great idea.

We're all going to work an extra hour every single day but everyone said no I'm not doing

that.

I don't want to do that.

We shouldn't do that.

That is pushing back.

So the the employees push back, they said no I don't want to do that, we shouldn't do

that, that's a bad idea.

That would be pushing back.

So the traditional meat producers, the farmers are pushing back arguing that the lab generated

products are not me at all, and should not be labeled as such.

So when you go to the grocery store and you buy a burger, they shouldn't say it's meat.

If it was grown in a lab.

What do you think?

Do you agree with that?

Despite these challenges the clean meat companies are forging ahead.

So to forge ahead means that they are continuing or progressing despite difficulties.

So continue progress despite

Difficulties.

So in English learning context you could say Freight learning phrasal verbs is very difficult

but I'm going to forge ahead which means you're not going to quit.

You're going to continue.

Studying continue learning phrasal verbs, continue using Fable phrasal verbs even though

there are difficulties involved.

If they can succeed in creating authentic tasting products, so that would be a burger

patty that actually taste like a burger.

It's juicy.

It has the flavor, the texture.

That would be authentic, authentic tasting products that are also affordable.

Remember how expensive it was.

Clean meat could make our daily eating habits more, ethical

And environmentally sustainable and remember their again using that modal could because

at this point when this article was written clean me was not available in the public.

So this is just a possibility possibility or potential clean meat, could make our daily

eating habits more ethical and environmentally sustainable.

I personally,

Finally think this is a very interesting topic.

So I hope you enjoyed the article and learning about this.

So now, what I'll do is, I'll go to the top and I'll read the article from start to finish.

And this time, you can focus on my pronunciation lab-grown meat beef for dinner without killing

animals or the environment.

Imagine biting into a juicy burger, that was produced without killing animals.

Meat grown in a laboratory from cultured cells is turning that Vision into a reality.

Several startups are developing lab-grown Beef, Pork poultry and Seafood.

If widely adopted lab-grown meat, also called clean meat, could eliminate much of the cruel

on ethical treatment of animals raised for food.

It could also reduce the considerable environmental costs of meat production.

The meat is made by first taking a muscle sample from an animal technicians.

Collect stem cells from the tissue, multiply them dramatically and allow them to differentiate

into primitive fibers that then ball.

Woke up to form muscle tissue mosa meet says that one tissue sample from a cow.

Can yield enough muscle tissue to make 80,000 Quarter Pounders a number of the startup say

they expect to have products for sale within the next few years.

But clean meat will have to overcome a number of barriers.

If it is to be commercially viable to our costs and taste in 2013, when a burger made

from lab-grown meat,

Presented to journalists the Patty cost more than three hundred thousand dollars to produce

and was overly dry to receive Market approval clean meat will have to be proved safe to

eat.

Meanwhile traditional meat producers are pushing back arguing that the lab generated products

are not meet at all and should not be labeled as such despite these challenges, the clean

meat companies are forging ahead if they can succeed in creating authentic

Antic tasting products that are also affordable clean.

Meat could make our daily eating habits, more ethical and environmentally sustainable.
