In The Rising Action, Dorothea Brooke, an ardent and religious young woman who aspires to lead an epic life, is being courted by a handsome baronet, Sir James.
5
But she chooses instead a middle-aged clergyman,
6
Edward Cazabon, because she thinks he has a great mind and will broaden her intellectual and spiritual horizons.
7
Cazabon has been compiling notes for 30 years for a treatise he called the key to all mythologies.

Essentially, he's a failed scholar and writer.

Meanwhile, Fred Vinci does not inherit the wealthy Featherstone's money.

Casabon has a bad heart, and after an emotional scene with Dorothea, he has a heart attack.

Not long after, he dies, having left a codicil to his will, saying that if Dorothea ever marries Ladislaw, she will lose Casabon's wealth and estate.
14
A secondary protagonist, Tertius Lydgate, a gifted doctor who comes to Middlemarch hoping to participate in medical reform and make an important scientific discovery,

falls for the beautiful and charming narcissist, Rosamund Vinci, who marries him to move up the social ladder.
16
The shady character Raffles arrives in Middlemarch, lurking around Mr. Bolstrode, a powerful evangelical Christian,
17
philanthropist, banker, and the paternal uncle of Lydgate's wife, threatening to reveal the man's dark family secrets.
18
It turns out Bolstrode made his first fortune by snatching the inheritance of the heirs of his first wife, who is now deceased.
19
Lydgate, as a result of his marriage, teeters on the edge of bankruptcy.
20
In the climax of the novel, Raffles gets sick because of his drinking and is taken to Stone Court, a property Bolstrode recently bought.
21
Raffles is suffering from alcohol poisoning, and when Bolstrode doesn't follow Lydgate's treatment orders, he passively kills the patient.
22
In the following action, the town finds out about Bolstrode's disreputable past.

ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟

التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
