In this week’s programme we look at two similar words: technique and technology.
As our listener Sonia pointed out, both words can be translated as 技術(shù) in Chinese. So what are the differences?
In the programme you’ll hear a story about Finn swimming in China, and how it helped him learn the connection between the words 技術(shù), technology and technique.
But before you listen, have a look at these sentences and see if you can work out the difference between the words technique and technology:
My new car has all the latest technology: sat nav, automatic parking... it even makes coffee.
David Beckham has wonderful technique when it comes to passing and crossing the ball.
Scientists are using a new technique to test cold and flu drugs.
Jimi Hendrix’s guitar playing technique was really ground-breaking.
My friend loves new technology – she’s always buying new gadgets.
Information Technology, or IT, has changed the way people live and work.
Swimming technique or technology?
You’ll also hear some other interesting technology-related words in the programme.
Don’t forget, if you have a question about English, email it to questions.chinaelt@bbc.co.uk. We may answer it on this programme.
