Intro:

Hey all you VoiceTubers out there in VoiceTube-land. This is your host, Leila, and I’ve gotta tell you, today’s episode is a heavy one. Today we’re talking about modern slavery. “Wait, what? Isn’t slavery gone?” If you haven’t checked out today’s video yet, give it a watch. It turns out slavery didn’t disappear when we modernized our society. It just transformed itself, like a horrifying caterpillar gone wrong. Or a mutant cockroach that just won’t die. Blech. Let’s get to the Sentence of the Day.

Sentence:
(秒數16-23)
Modern slavery is largely known as human trafficking, and involves the trade of people for labor, sex, and even their organs.

Slavery /ˈsleɪ.ɚ.i/
There are 3 syllables in this word, but the last 2 are said more quickly. Stress the first syllable.
Trade of /traid-uv/
Say the ‘f’ in ‘of’ more like a ‘v’. Also, these words are linked, so you can squish them together.

Outro

It’s pretty mind boggling, shocking I mean, that major human rights violations like human trafficking still go on in the 21st century. It’s a lot to think about, especially if you’re fortunate enough to live a good life. I guess it just goes to show that while life, in general, has been getting better and better, it’s too soon to put our collective feet up as a species and say, “Job well done”. We still have a long way to go.
