英検1級に出そうな単語-This Soup Kitchen's Been Running Since 1973

今回は"soup kitchen"です。

日本での"炊き出し"に当たるものです。

です。

 

他にも

"amputee;切断手術を受けた人"

"diabetes;糖尿病"

"appendicitis;虫垂炎、盲腸"

は難しいけど、覚えておきたいです。

00:00
the soup kitchen has been going for 46
00:02
years we primarily see a lot of
00:04
vulnerable and homeless and isolated
00:06
people in Ealing and Beyond sort of all
00:09
around London I ended up homeless a few
00:13
years back
00:14
and I was so desperate to get in the Sun
00:19
where I heard about night shelter the
00:21
church was doing and someone put me on
00:23
to Mecca who heads it up here
00:27
we provide showers we provide haircuts
00:30
GP care foot care help housing help
00:34
advocacy for council and benefits help
00:37
as well and and food obviously there is
00:40
a real sense of peace and safety here
00:44
that we've cultivated over the last few
00:47
years just really trying to make people
00:48
feel like they are loved and they're
00:51
cared for and that they have a real
00:52
family here you know I haven't got any
00:55
family round here so it's a nice social
00:59
thing for me I've had a lot of loss in
01:02
my family to cancer my mother was a
01:05
double amputee two diabetes my father
01:08
passed away from an one and only
01:10
appendicitis operation we've we share
01:13
similar experiences but it all goes out
01:16
the window when we get here we forget
01:18
everything and we just sort of live in
01:20
the moment and we look forward to coming
01:24
each week and if if someone does not
01:28
turn up we're always looking out for
01:30
each other quite a few of the core
01:32
volunteers we have here are also X
01:34
homeless people so some of them sat
01:36
alongside you know each other whilst
01:39
they were eating food a few years ago
01:41
and now some of them are on volunteering
01:43
roles and so I think a lot of the guests
01:46
that come look at that and think you
01:47
know what they've got themselves sorted
01:49
I can do that too
01:50
even if I can't make it somebody's
01:53
missing me here
01:54
and I look forward to coming and I make
01:57
a great effort to come even when I'm ill
01:59
and you know you do cool a bit something
02:03
that keeps you for the rest of that week
02:04
and holds it together some of the ways
02:07
that the soup kitchen could really use
02:10
your help is first of all it's about
02:14
perception and about changing the
02:16
perception of what we think homeless
02:18
people are like this could happen to
02:20
anyone
02:21
I just believed that any any support
02:27
that's given to this place will
02:28
definitely go much further
02:30
the one thing that London people don't
02:32
have time don't have is time
02:33
so it's about trying to take the time
02:36
and actually get to know that person
02:38
that you maybe you walk past every day
02:39
have a conversation with them ask them
02:41
what they want don't just assume they
02:42
want to cost of coffee or they want a
02:44
Burger King meal actually have a
02:46
conversation get to know their name tell
02:47
them your name you know and I think it
02:49
starts with that and then from there we
02:51
can build on something really special
02:52
[Music]
02:57
