he's a review from BBC Learning English Hello and welcome to News Review The program where we show you how to use the language from the latest news stories in your every day English Hi, I'm Neil.

程度の副詞

Joining me today is a very festive looking Catherine.

Yes, well, Neil, it's a our festive programme.

So as you asked me to put a festive jumper on, I've got my festive jumper, you have and and survive as well.

So the story is a security issue at an English turkey farm on the farmer has brought in some very unusual security guards unusual security cards at a turkey farm.

Okay, let's find out more from this BBC news bulletin from the reporter Elizabeth Hartson, the farm's bean rearing Turkey's since the 19 fifties and sells around 24,000 year.

The birds roam free outside, which has obvious benefits, but there is one big downside.

The farms director Tom Corpus has come up with an unusual deterrent.

As he told me during a visit to the farm in early November.

Well, we actually started using our packers.

We just read the birds out so they're rearing facilities on.

We got in and we lost over 100 and 1st 1 week and we kept losing birds.

So an English turkey farm there, which has a problem with Fox's killing turkeys, turkeys the bids that are eaten for Christmas dinner all over this.

The UK eso the security guard that the farmer brought in was al Packers.

Now al Packers on animal that is native to South America.

It like it's looks a bit like a llama, and it's related to the camera.

In fact, yeah, I'm not the kind of thing you expect is a guard.

Animals, Not just, you know, I think it's quite common in in some countries.

But in the UK and Al Packer, guarding Turkey's is something you don't see every day.

Okay, well, you've been looking through the news websites at this story.

And what are the items of vocabulary that you've come up with?

The 1st 1 is standing God, we have keeping watch on brainchild standing guard, keeping watch and brainchild.

The headline is alpacas protecting 24,000 Christmas turkeys from killer foxes on.

In that story, the sentence is heard of Al Packers are standing guard over 24,000 free range turkeys.

Okay, so standing guard protecting something to make sure it stays safe or doesn't escape.

So when we think of standing guard, is it like it?

Buckingham Palace, Whether any uniform and a rifle, Yes.

The original meaning of God is to protect something or someone from danger on in an official military or police sense.

If you stand guard, you stay in one position for a number of hours, protecting whoever you're protecting.

Yeah, but that that is used in another sense.

I don't think you can force an AL packet to stand up straight in one position for eight hours at a time.

They are guarding these turkeys, but probably they're moving around or they might be in the field next door.

I don't know, but they're not standing upright with rifles.

And the the proposition that goes with standing guard.

When you had an object, use a proposition over right.

I've been standing guard over something at home.

Christmas presents, maybe Christmas presents.

Don't tell the kids, but yeah, I'm a bit scared that they know where they are.

Okay, I'm going to guess there inside the wardrobe.

I'm not giving it away in case they're watching.

We got for our second item of vocabulary a related concept, but slightly different.

So from the telegraph, we have blitz and Dasha, sage and onion, the alpacas guarding a gang of Christmas turkeys.

And within this, within that story, we have the names of all these out packers, and it says they are now keeping watch over the coppers.

Meaning paying close attention to a situation so you can react to any problems that might happen.

What's the difference in keeping watch in standing guard?

I think standing God has a lot to do with the position you're operate.

You've got a weapon and you're protecting something from danger.

When you're keeping watch, it can have a very similar meaning.

It can be used in military situations, but it also means keeping watch me is looking to see what might happen.

So it's a kind of just in case or you're expecting a change.

You don't know what, but you have to watch it very carefully.

So when you're cooking your Christmas dinner in the my turkey cooking your turkey hasn't quite been saved for the help.

If it yes, if the Attackers managed to don't manage to save it from your oven.

Yes, you have to keep watch to make sure it doesn't burn.

So you're watching checking occasionally not forgetting about it.

Okay, so, brainchild in the BBC news headline is the alpacas protecting 24,000 Christmas turkeys on in the story?

We have again the names off these al practice, and it's telling us that this was the brainchild off Tom cover compass.

I will explain it to you knew out of your brain actually comes a thought or an idea.

And if this idea is really special to you, it's really precious.

So it means a wonderful original idea that you really can.

It is really special in your proud of it.
