Hello chaps, it's Marek. And you are listening to English
on command podcast. Today.
We are going to read a story which is called a million-dollar
Treasure Chest found after a 10-year search.
Now first. We're going to check out some
(00:21):
words, connected to that story. Then I'm going to read that
story to you and your job is to find all this.
Words and expressions in the story and learn them and
remember all these little details.
Okay. Are you ready?
So once again the title 1 million dollar Treasure Chest
(00:45):
found after 10 years touchdown, you see this title in the title
of this podcast and pay attention to the fact that there
are some mistakes in the title. Yeah.
It's a normal thing for A news article for a book named now,
just keep in mind, sometimes people who write them the one
and to make shorter. They want the idea to be
(01:09):
catcher. That's why sometimes you may
find me six. Like here we want an article,
right? Treasure Chest found, after a
ten years search. Yeah, we don't have a here, but
we kind of need it here. Also pay attention to the number
1 million dollar. Now first.
Obviously, we have one though. We have a million but we don't
(01:32):
say one millions of dollars Treasure Chest, even though it's
a very big number or it could be2 million dollar chest.
So it's not about the number one.
It could be 37 million dollar. Just now here.
It's a name of this Treasure Chest.
It's a name for this objective in the story.
(01:53):
Okay. It's like a million-dollar job
or hundred thousand dollar job. Usually, it's a year.
In this case, it's played plays in singular.
You don't say a hundred million dollars job.
Okay, so that's one thing to keep in mind when we are.
Now listen to the first example.I'm going to read the map shows
(02:15):
the directions to the treasure. Hmm, treasure.
Now think for a second. What is a treasure?
Treasure is something which really value something which
really want something, which really like it could be gold.
It could be silver. It could be diamonds.
(02:37):
It could be money. It could be something which is
very important. And usually the word treasure is
used. It used to be popular back in
time when you had Pirates and Pirates.
Like if you remember the CaptainJack Sparrow, right?
Johnny Depp the Captain Jack Sparrow.
He was searching for Treasure. He was traveling and searching
(03:01):
for some pearls or gold and silver, something like that.
It was Treasurer. Now, in this case.
It's a noun, you can also use the word as a verb to treasure
something. You can treasure Vault, things
like gold and silver. You can treasure a relationship
with your mother brother sister friend.
(03:22):
So you can treasure many different things.
Okay, moving on to the next example.
Now listen to this one. My dad has a large wooden chest.
What, why a second large wooden chest, huh?
Well, let's, let's keep going. My dad has a large wooden chest
(03:43):
where he keeps all of his childhood toys and food has.
Now, what is a wooden chest now?Yes, chest is just like the
chest. You have.
You have your heart in your chest.
You have your love? Things in your chest to help you
breathe. That's what you get.
Now, chest. It's also this big box just now
(04:04):
coming back to the pirates, pirates.
Usually, when they find treasure, when they have
treasure, they have a chest. And usually, it's a wooden
chest. It's a wooden box with treasure.
That's all you need to remember a chest.
Also means a box usually wave treasure.
Okay, so we know we are now on the hunt.
(04:27):
For a new software developer. Well, it's just an example, but
the expression here is only hunt.
We are on the hunt for a new software developer.
Let's say, So it's a modern use for this expression now on the
hunt hunting, right? You can hunt for animals.
You can hand for birds in hand for fish.
(04:47):
I guess. Or should you say fishing?
Well, I guess you can say you are on the hunt hunting.
That's what we people have been doing for many many, many, many,
many years. Now, these days you can say,
you're on a hunt for a new persons.
Like you were searching for something.
In this case software developer.It's a position, right?
So job, so Let's say, we are thecompany and we need a software
(05:11):
developer. So we are on the hunt for a new
software developer. So that's how usually use it in
the modern world. But in our case, we can use it
on the hunt for a chest of treasure.
Right. Again idea.
We're looking for something. We are on the hunt.
Moving down. The statues are made of bronze.
(05:33):
Now, bronze is a metal rod with bronze.
We have silver. We have gold.
Well, usually, this three are kind of this table.
The staple was the staple means.Those are the default ones, the
basic ones. So even in racing the first
place gets goal, second place gets silver.
And the third one gets bronze. Bronze is cheaper.
Silver is a bit more expensive and gold is our standard, right?
(05:56):
The gold standard. Okay, so we have a bunch of two
more words actually, two more words.
So yeah. Barry.
Barry. Barack Obama publish his Memoir
dreams from my father in 1995. Now.
He published his Memoir. Now.
This word could be pronounced, many different ways in English
(06:18):
is pronounced his Memoir. Maybe it's in French.
I'm not sure. But anyway, remember Memoir, we
have to be Memoir, good. So we're going to need this word
in our story and one more, the police search the crime scene.
For Clues. For clues for Clues.
(06:38):
To means for ideas. I I don't have a clue what
you're talking about Clues. A deist little details, little
things to understand what's going on, right?
The police is searching a crime scene scene, like in a movie,
like, in a theater is seen a crime scene for clues for little
details to find what happened. So once again, the words are
(07:03):
treasure. Right?
Let go. Silver diamonds, chest, wooden
chest words and big box where you can find the treasure.
We're on the hunt for something.Now, we can be on the hunt for
Treasure. We can be on the hunt for a new
job. Well these days, you know what's
going on in the world. So I mean some people are on the
hunt for a job. Moving on bronze and silver and
(07:27):
gold us to the three staples Meadows, right?
Teams three basic made of metals, which we have.
We not men. I'm were well Memoir.
We talked about it. It's a book in this case, dreams
from my father, by brocco bomber, write a memoir.
Let's about all the pronunciation.
So keep in mind how to read and one more clue.
(07:48):
I don't have a clue to a tournament, a clue to have a
clue about something means to have some basically D or
understanding about something. Okay, good.
That's all that's all the words.You need to know.
Now. Let's go.
I'm going to read this store. You listen.
Very carefully. Listen, very carefully, try to
(08:08):
understand the idea of that article.
All right, and find all words. I hope you did some notes for
this words. If you didn't, well, it's not a
big deal. I guess you have a good memory.
So let's go. Keep in mind.
If you want me to reach lower. You can text me, right, you
know, in the description to thispodcast will be a bit slower
(08:29):
next time. Bounnam, 1 million dollar
treasure chest. Found after 10 years search a
treasure hunt that has lasted over ten years, has finally
ended art collector forced fan who he did?
It's the best form of hide hide.He'd hit the treasure in Rocky
(08:53):
Mountains. It's in California.
I think, yeah, Rocky Mountain said on June 6, which is this
year, basically yesterday, that he doesn't know who Treasure.
But have been sent photos confirming.
It was found now. Had been sent photos.
It's some complicated grammar. So don't pay much attention to
(09:15):
that. So someone sent photos to him.
So he had been sent photos. It's a passive voice in this
case, right? The treasure is said to be worth
more than a million dollars. It includes historical items
jewelry silver and over seven kilograms of gold.
All in a bronze chest Browns, just not even wouldn't trust me.
(09:39):
I keep in mind bones. Just one more expression,
historical items. Those are.
It could be art. It could be whatever it is, you
know, some Egyptian sculptures, something like that historic
items, they things which they hold their value because well, I
mean, there's only one Statue ofsomething from here from Egypt.
(09:59):
So they're like, pretty expensive.
Jewelry is what we usually have like rings.
Other things but I don't even remember what else is a jewelry,
but will those are usually diamonds and things like that.
Bruno fan have the idea for the treasure hunt in the 1990s after
he found after he found out, he had cancer well, cancer.
(10:24):
It's a bad thing. It's a bad disease, which people
have usually died in the Hurricanes.
He was told again, passive voice.
He was told he only had a 20%. Chance of recovering recovering
or surviving. You can stay.
So basically, he had 80% chance of dying.
So, he decided to write a memoir, right again, the word
(10:48):
Memoir a book while riding. He found no story.
He thought about how much fun hehad had again.
Some complicated grammar. Keep in mind.
He had had collecting art and decided that a treasure hunt.
Be a good way to pass that fun on to the others, once he died.
(11:11):
So, he bought bronze chest and filled it with treasure, but
when never got around to hide it, because he started to get
better. Good.
Bye. You won the lottery.
He beat the cancer. So he started to get better in
2010. So, ten years ago when van
turned 80 years old, which is not bad.
(11:33):
He decided it was was time. It was time for a treasure hunt.
He hid the treasure somewhere inthe Rocky Mountains.
It's north of Santa Fe is in California.
And then published his Memoir The Thrill of the chase.
Thrill. What does it mean?
Thrill Thrill is like in the movie, genre Thriller write
(11:54):
something which is a high, emotional exciting, The Thrill
of the Chase. Chase is Wallach police chase,
right? You're choosing treasure in our
case here. So maybe know the Memoir
contained a poem and nine clues about where the treasure was
hidden. Now, since then, about 350,000,
(12:17):
people have tried to find treasure some quit their jobs to
do. So at least five people have
died while looking for it. Others thought the treasure
never existed or had already been found.
Of course, well, You can say, ifyou can find something for 10
years, worry, you have thoughts,happy thoughts.
(12:39):
Maybe I'm light, right? Maybe I'm like, too.
So maybe there is some thing goin on here, but But eventually
the treasure has been found. When the Santa Fe New Mexican is
problem magazine or something like that asks fan, who is now
89? He's still alive, 89 not bad,
(13:01):
right? It's not bad how he felt about
the treasure being found. He said, well, I don't know.
I feel half, we kind of glad halfway kind of sad because the
chase is now over. So the conclusion, the guy fan,
what's his name? You remember the name?
(13:21):
His name is Forrest Fenn. So the guy he was about to die.
He thought it was about to die. He hid the treasure in a bronze
chest, right? And then 10 years later.
Someone found the chest with allthe jewelry, all the treasure.
It costs around 1 million dollars.
Well, that's the chase. It's a real story. 350,000,
(13:46):

Lots of people couldn't find. Well, that's a real story.
