14 分钟Hello and welcome to the English like a native podcast.
My name is Anna and you're listening to week 12, day three of your English five a day, the second season.
By tuning in daily, you're getting your daily dose of English vocabulary,
which will step by step make you feel more confident when communicating in English.
So let's begin as we always do with our snapshot.
The pioneers of the new Mars Colony faced an unprecedented challenge when a failure in the life support systems threatened their survival,
determined to create a sustainable future.
They worked tirelessly to repair the oxygen generators and water filters.
Their success meant that future settlers would have a safer home on the red planet.
Okay, so let's begin by looking at the noun Colony, Colony.
We spell this C-O-L-O-N-Y.
Colony.
A colony is a group of people or animals or plants living together in a specific area,
often under the control of a larger power, a colony.
So here's an example sentence.
A colony of penguins gathered on the icy shore.
Fantastic.
Next we have the adjective, unprecedented, unprecedented.
We spell this U-N-P-R-E-C-E-D-E-N-T-E-D.
It's quite a long one, unprecedented, unprecedented.
