SBS Learn English 에피소드 92: 기부 요청하기 (중급)
이 내용은 중상급 이상 학습자에게 적합합니다. 먼저 팟캐스트를 들으신 후 간단한 퀴즈를 풀어보세요. Learning notes Different phrases you can use when asking for support and donations: Would you be open to making a small donation? I've got a little fundraiser going, any chance you'd like to help? Would you be happy to support this cause? If you've got a coin or two to spare, it'll go straight to a good cause. Any help you can give would mean a lot. Every bit counts. A little help goes a long way. We appreciate any support you can give. Learn the meanings of the phrases used in this dialogue: If you are running something, it means you are organising it, looking after it, or making sure it happens. When we ask someone for a coin or two , we're asking for a small amount of money. A charity is a group that helps people in need. A charity run is a public run organised by a charity to raise money. A charity appeal is when a charity asks people to give money or help. Altruistic means helpful others without expecting anything in return. A fundraiser is an event or activity that collect money to help others. A community fundraiser is when people in a neighbourhood, school, or local group work together to raise money for something important. To donate means to give something to help others — like money, clothes, food, or time. A donation is what you give — like money or things — to help someone or support a group. To spare extra. If you have some money to spare then you can give it away without causing any problems. A good cause is a project or group that helps people or animals who need support, like a charity or community group. Asking people to do things they might not like to do is always difficult, and so we often ask in ways that allow the listener time to process and think. We often use the opener-reason/ context/ softened request/ sweetener approach. First, we open up the conversation (an opener), then we explain the reason we are asking and give a little context (a reason/context), then we ask in ways that show we are not expecting too much (a softened request), and finally we offer something good or something that makes them feel good (a sweetener). Opener: Hey Claire, do you have a minute? (asks if she is busy) Reason & context: I'm running a charity cake stall this Friday to raise funds for a children's hospital. It's part of a community fundraiser I've joined. (provides context) Request: Would you be open to making a small donation? But if you got a coin or two to spare. (asks if she is willing) (incomplete request + emphasises small amount) Sweetener: It'll go straight to a good cause. I'll save you the best cupcake. (emphasises that she will be doing good) (offers the best cake) Sign up for previews, updates and to provide feedback.

Paul Nicholson and Lily O'Sullivan voiced the characters of Allan and Claire, and Professor Lynda Yates was our educational consultant. 상단의 오디오를 재생하시면 전체 프로그램을 들으실 수 있습니다. 호주 공영방송 SBS(Special Broadcasting Service) 한국어 프로그램의 페이스북 과 인스타그램 을 팔로우하세요. 구글플레이 와 애플 앱스토어 에서 SBS Audio 앱을 다운로드할 수 있습니다. 매일 방송되는 한국어 프로그램 전체 다시듣기를 선택하시려면 이곳 을 클릭하세요.

Aussie Olympic cult hero Michelle Jenneke in mourning after shocking family tragedy as her beloved mother dies
Aussie Olympian Michelle Jenneke has revealed that she is reeling after the death of her 'wacky and wonderful' mother Nicky. The 31-year-old hurdler announced the sad news in an emotional Instagram post, but did not reveal the cause of death. 'Last week we said farewell to my wacky and wonderful mother,' she wrote. 'Always the life of the party, she taught me how to bring fun to every occasion and live life to its fullest. 'Forever my biggest supporter, the loudest person at the track and a warm and generous friend to all those around her. 'Thank you for all the memories, we will love and miss you always.' Nicky was also a member of Sydney's Cherrybrook Athletics Club, which posted a tribute of its own. 'Cherrybrook Athletics is heartbroken at the death of our beloved friend and Life Member, Nicky Jenneke,' the post read. 'Nicky could usually be found at any track or field where Cherrybrook athletes were competing – from Little Athletics carnivals or local Treloar meets to major championship events interstate where her cries of 'Go Cherrybrook!' would echo around the stadium. 'Nicky came to Cherrybrook Athletics with her daughters, Shelly and Cathy, in 2002 and quickly became involved as a volunteer. 'Over her more than 20 years with the Club, she has held various committee positions but has always been a jack-of-all-trades doing whatever was needed, whenever it was needed, to ensure Cherrybrook Athletics could continue to support our athletes. 'The list of duties she has undertaken over the years is too long to summarise – she even wrote the Club's unofficial "song".' Michelle Jenneke ruptured her hamstring tendon during her spectacular exit from the Paris Olympics last year, astonishing fans as she returned for one last heat despite the serious injury. There were doubts about whether she could come back from the huge setback, but she put those to bed in January, when she announced she will make a comeback and posted a video showing her getting back into training. 'After rupturing my hamstring in Paris I set myself an ambitious goal to be back over hurdles before the end of year… Very happy to report I achieved that goal just in time on the 30th of December!' she told her followers. The Aussie - who became a worldwide sensation for her dance moves behind the starting blocks while competing at the World Junior Championships in Barcelona back in 2012 - managed to go out on a high of sorts in France despite her injury. She won plenty of admirers at the Stade de France when she was seen comforting Slovakia's Viktoria Forster after the repechage round as both athletes failed to progress. As Australia's Olympians returned home from the Games with an astonishing 18 gold medals, Jenneke's fellow athlete Genevieve Cowie and her husband were among the crowd waiting at Sydney airport on Tuesday. One of their signs, which read 'hope you had a nice trip', was a risky prank that earnt a cheeky reaction from the hurdler on social media. 'I have the best friends', she posted on her Instagram story, accompanied by a laughing emoji.
