English News Today: Spider Silk
Wilson:
Good day, everyone! Welcome to English News Today, where we learn and practice speaking English. I’m Wilson.
Alisa:
That’s right, Wilson! Today, we have an exciting topic about spider silk! Did you know that spider silk is stronger than steel?
Tony:
Wow! That’s amazing! But is it strong enough to hold Spider-Man? Let's find out! Our reporter Vicky is on the field to read the passage.
Vicky:
Thank you, Tony! Now, let’s read Facts About Spider Silk.
"In the Spider-Man movies, Spider-Man uses his web to swing from building to building and fight bad guys. You might ask, 'Are spider webs that strong in the real world?'
Ray:
The answer is yes! Spider silk is thinner than hair and doesn’t look very strong. However, it is much stronger than you think. In fact, it's stronger than steel!
Sylvie:
So when spider silk is as thick as a rope, like in the movies, it is strong enough for Spider-Man to hang from and swing from one building to another.
Ray:
After learning about spider silk, you might ask another question: 'Can we make it?' Well, spider silk is very difficult to make. Many people tried, but their silk was not as strong as real spider silk.
Vicky:
Maybe in a few years, we can create something as strong as spider silk, and we can all be like Spider-Man!"
Alisa:
Wow! That was a cool passage. Now, let’s go to Sylvie, who is with some students.
Sylvie:
Thanks, Alisa! Let’s ask some questions!
Sylvie:
"What is the passage about?"
Benson:
"It’s about spider silk."
Sylvie:
"Is spider silk really strong?"
Wilson:
"Yes, it is stronger than steel."
Sylvie:
"Why can’t we make spider silk easily?"
Vicky:
"Because it is very difficult to make."
Sylvie:
"Would you like to swing like Spider-Man? Why or why not?"
Tony:
Great job, everyone! Now, let’s hear from our reporter Wilson with an important message.
Wilson:
Spider silk is amazing, but real spiders are not superheroes! Let’s respect nature and learn from it. Maybe one day, scientists will create something as strong as spider silk, and we can all be heroes!
Alisa::
That’s a great lesson! Science and nature are full of surprises.
Tony:
That’s all for English News Today! Keep learning, keep asking questions, and see you next time! Bye-bye.
