blue whales are back, numbers of the world's biggest animal are rising in the South Atlantic.

We've got the language you need to talk about this story.

Let's hear more about that story from this.

Scientists say they've seen a remarkable number of blue whales in recent weeks near the island of South Georgia in the South Atlantic, a survey counted 55 animals figure unprecedented in the decades since commercial whaling ended, So blue wears the largest animal on the planet.

Now their numbers have been in serious decline.

But a ban on commercial whaling 10 years ago has led to a wonderful number off 55 Wales being spotted at the same time in the same place.

So scientists are delighted about this because it appears to indicate that their numbers are recovering.

Isn't it great to hear some good news for a change?

Okay, well, you've been looking at this story, Katherine.

You've picked out three words and expressions.

What do you have we have today unprecedented bouncing back on dhe so unprecedented, bouncing back and sore.

So that first word unprecedented in your first headline, please.

The newspaper is the independent on the headline is thrilling.

Critically endangered blue wears recorded off Antarctic island.

Unprecedented Never having happened before.

Okay, this is a rather long and complicated world with lots of bits.

It's got five says it goes five bits on press dented on press dented The spelling is U N P R E c E D E N T E d on the stress Neil is on there.

Now, the key to this word is contained in the second syllable.

We pronounce it prep in this word, but P R e pri means before and that's really the big clue to this word.

We also then look at the first syllable a kn which means not so un pre Orion prayer means not before, So if something is unprecedented, it's never happened before.

And we use this don't way to talk about sort of important thing.

Yeah, it's big events, things they're making the news things which are kind of really important.

So you don't say my daughter went to bed on time this evening when I told her it was unprecedented.

It sounds a bit over foremost, so it's all things like the waves.

Bush Fires floods All of these extreme weather events we've seen in recent months and years could be called unprecedented.

We can talk about business developments, political developments on You could talk about things that unprecedented moves You could talk about an unprecedented action and president of number, unprecedented rate.

So it's all often about the woods that were describing our moves, numbers, rates, actions.

Yeah, so if we did want to say something informally s O, for example, Remember last week when Robert gets Rob, came into the office a big pile of biscuits and did nobody just walked straight passes?

We turned to each other and we didn't say that was unprecedented.

Yeah, So that's more the everyday English would be.

Okay, let's have a summary time now for our second word, please on.

We're going now to mail online from the UK Blue whales are bouncing back from the brink of extinction after decades of decline as researchers spot fifth sti five of the enormous animals near on talk to go bouncing back, becoming successful again after a bad experience.

The second would buck the opposite of front B A C K.

Okay, so I'm sure everybody knows what sort of thing bounces well.

When you've got the basketball on and you hit it with your hand and the force of your hand pushes it to the floor, it hits the floor on because it's made of rubber captures the energy because I'm a scientist, you know, and it bounces bounces that comes back.

So to bounce is to hit on a hard object and come back the same direction.

Okay, so to continue this sort of figurative theme, Yeah.

If you get thrown against something hard, it's not very nice.

No, you probably probably wouldn't bounce back immediately.

You would eventually feel better, and you'd come back and you'd be okay again.

So the idea of bouncing back is recovering after something bad happens.

Now, with the case of the whales, there was almost none of them left, you know, it was a terrible situation, but now 55 of them shows that they're recovering after a bad situation.

And we often use this as well to talk about personal experiences.

If you lose your job, you get made redundant, your bones spark.

But you find another job and you get on with your life.

Better You can bounce back after a financial problem.

You lose money for some reason, but you fight back and you recover and you get on with life.

So for personal setbacks, we can use it on.

Business, politics, Government's economy.
