Track 1 Hi, Mina.
2
Shall we have a look at the material for our presentation on marriage customs?
3
Yeah, sure.
4
I've got a lot of information about India.
5
How about you?
6
Yes, yes.
7
I've got material about marriage in the Emirates.
8
Shall we get going?
9
What about meeting?
10
How do people in India meet in the first place?
11
Hmm, in traditional Indian families,
12
the parents used to arrange the marriage,
13
and the couple used to meet for the first time when the boy visited the girl's house.
14
But that's changed now.
15
Yeah, we used to have arranged marriages in the Emirates too.
16
Did the groom have to give anything to the bride's family?
17
I mean, did they give them a gift or money?
18
Well, in India, in the old days,
19
the girl's family used to give the boy's family a gift,
20
like money or jewellery.
21
But it's not allowed anymore.
22
Wow.
23
In my country, the groom still has to pay all the expenses.
24
Have there been any changes in marriage customs in India in recent years?
25
Well, yes.
26
I found an article about special websites for finding partners.
27
It says that because so many young people from India study abroad these days,
28
their families are using websites to find marriage partners for them.
29
Oh, okay.
30
And where does the couple live when they get married?
31
That's another thing that's changing.
32
In the past, the bride used to go to live with the family of the groom,
33
but these days more and more young couples are setting up their own homes independently.
34
What about the Emirates?
35
Track 2 Good morning.
36
Shall we start by looking at the topic of your project?
37
So, what have you decided to research?
38
Well, we thought we'd compare festivals in different countries and see if any of them are similar.
39
Yeah, you know, like the carnival celebrations in South America and the water festival in Thailand.
40
OK.
41
What exactly are you planning to study?
42
The origins of the festivals?
43
The types of celebration?
44
People's attitudes towards the festivals?
45
We were planning to look at the origins of the festivals and the time of year they're celebrated.
46
We're thinking of looking at the connection between the seasons in different countries and the actual festivals,
47
and then looking for similarities between countries that are quite far apart.
48
Well, that sounds interesting.
49
Did you say you've already started researching into the carnival?
50
Yes.
51
We've already found a connection between the carnival and the seasons.
52
For instance, some researchers say that a very long time ago in Europe,
53
people used to put on colourful masks and costumes at the beginning of the year to celebrate the end of winter,
54
and then they could get ready for spring.
55
Track three.
56
Right, and then what happened?
57
Well, as the years went by,
58
the purpose of the carnival changed,
59
and it became a religious festival.
60
These days there are big carnival celebrations in countries all across the world,
61
like Brazil and India and Indonesia.
62
But an interesting thing we discovered is that in some countries,
63
people celebrate the carnival by throwing water at each other in the street.
64
Well, we thought that obviously this is because carnivals celebrated at the hottest time of the year,
65
just before the rainy season.
66
So splashing people with water is a very good way of cooling them down.
67
Track 4 Hmm, yes, that makes sense.
68
Um, did you look into any other festivals?
69
Yes, we did.
70
What we're planning to do is more research into water festivals.
71
We found that in Asian countries,
72
where there aren't any carnival celebrations,
73
there are still festivals that involve people splashing each other with water.
74
Actually, we found references to them in Burma,
75
Thailand, Vietnam, China and Japan.
76
But we also found a reference to a water festival in Mexico.
77
So we thought we'd look into that a bit more and see if we can find any similarities between these countries.
78
I mean, we realise that water is more than just a way of cooling people down in hot weather.
79
It also has a lot of different religious meanings and purposes.
80
For instance, we found that in some societies,
81
water can mean life or wealth or just luck.
82
Yes, and another thing we found out is that these water festivals often celebrate the beginning of the new year,
83
just like the original celebrations hundreds of years ago before the carnival.
84
So, up to now, we found that the carnival
85
and the seasons are linked by ancient traditions and that water plays an important part in the celebrations.
86
Track 5 I'm going to start this lecture by describing the structure of an offshore oil rig.
87
Well, to be accurate, we should call it an oil platform.
88
If you look at the diagram,
89
you can see the top part of the platform floating on the surface of the water.
90
The tall tower in the centre of the platform is called a derrick.
91
That's D-E-R-R-I-C-K.
92
The derrick is where the drilling machinery and lifting equipment is installed.
93
OK?
94
Now, if you look about halfway down the diagram on the right,
95
you can see a helicopter.
96
It's parked on the helicopter pad.
97
Helicopters are used mostly to transport employees to and from the platform when they have free time.
98
Now, if you look underneath that,
99
at the very bottom of the platform,
100
you can see one of the four support towers.
101
These support the rest of the platform.
102
These metal structures are usually attached to the seabed by long cables.
103
Right, now the last part of the platform I'm going to describe is on the other side,
104
just above the level of the water.
105
It's a crane.
106
That's spelt C-R-A-N-E.
107
Cranes are used everywhere in construction,
108
but this one is specialist equipment for lifting heavy spare parts at sea.
109
In fact, apart from the derrick,
110
you can see three cranes in the diagram.
111
Track 6.
112
Some experts believe that if we knew how to control the power of the sea,
113
we could generate enough electricity for the whole world.
114
But, in this talk, I'm going to focus on the UK and our capacity for generating electricity from wave and tidal energy.
115
I'm going to look at how many megawatts we generated before 2008 and how many we expect produce in 2014.
116
So if you'd like to look at the chart you'll see
117
that before 2008 our capacity was only one megawatt but in 2008
118
when oil prices rose there was an increased interest in marine power and our capacity grew quite dramatically to four megawatts.
119
Ah now you might have expected this figure to rise consistently over the years,
120
but in fact it dropped again in 2009 to only 2 megawatts.
121
This was because oil prices fell again,
122
so there was less interest in developing alternative power sources.
123
But nowadays the cost of oil production is going up again,
124
and there's been a renewed interest in marine power.
125
As a consequence, capacity has increased steadily since 2009,
126
reaching 18 megawatts in 2012.
127
This trend is expected to continue in the near future,
128
reaching a total capacity of 50 megawatts in 2013 and 60 megawatts in 2014.
129
Track 7 Good evening.
130
My talk this evening will cover three main themes.
131
First, I'll outline a timeline of how deep-sea exploration vessels developed.
132
Secondly, I'll describe the most recent of these, the Deep Sea Challenger.
133
And finally, I'll look at some of the benefits of this deep-sea research.
134
The first manned deep-sea exploration vessel was invented in the 1920s.
135
It was called a bathysphere,
136
better known as a diving bell.
137
It was basically a round metal structure with windows with just enough room for two men to sit in,
138
and it was lowered into the ocean on a cable.
139
The first descent in the diving bell took place in 1930,
140
and in 1934 it went down to a depth of nearly a thousand metres,
141
which was impressive for the time.
142
The problem with the diving bell was
143
that it had no power of its own and there wasn't much room for the researchers to move around.
144
So the next development after the diving bell was the Baffy Scaife,
145
a small manned submarine invented in the 1940s.
146
The difference between the two was that the Bathyscafe had its own power source
147
which allowed the scientists to investigate in the depths of the ocean more freely.
148
A Bathyscafe called the Trieste reached a record depth of 10,000 metres in 1960.
149
Since then, a new record has been set by James Cameron,
150
who descended to a depth of 11,000 metres for the first time in 2012.
151
Track 8 So let's move on now to look at the submarine that took James Cameron so far down into the ocean.
152
If you look at the drawing of the Challenger,
153
you can see the pilot's chamber at the very bottom of the submarine.
154
It's a very small section where the pilot sits and controls the sub and all the equipment on it.
155
Now let's have a look at how the submarine is powered.
156
Going up from the pilot's chamber,
157
in the middle of the sub,
158
on the right-hand side of the drawing,
159
you can see a whole section covered in batteries.
160
They provide the power source
161
that takes the sub all the way to the bottom of the ocean and back up to the surface again.
162
Next to that, there's another important part of the sub.
163
You probably realise that there's no light at the bottom of the ocean,
164
so the sub needs to take its own.
165
If you look at the back of the sub,
166
in the middle, just next to the batteries,
167
you can see the panel of lights.
168
They provide the light for filming and taking samples from the seabed.
169
And one more part of the sub,
170
which is important for navigation and to stop it spinning out of control,
171
is the large fin at the back.
172
You can see it at the back of the sub,
173
at the top of the drawing.
174
Okay, to conclude my talk,
175
I'm going to ask a couple of questions.
176
First, what is the purpose of this deep-sea exploration?
177
And second, is it worth the expense?
178
I think one of the justifications for spending
179
so much money on this kind of research is that it allows scientists to understand more about the surface of the Earth,
180
For example, how it was formed and how it behaves.
181
This could have important consequences for predicting earthquakes and saving lives through early warning systems.
182
Another reason this type of research is considered valuable is that by exploring unknown parts of the ocean,
183
we increase our knowledge of the availability of minerals for industry.
184
And obviously, this could lead to huge commercial advantages.
185
So, the answer is yes.
186
In the long run, this kind of exploration can benefit both the ordinary population and industry.

- „used to...“ - Mit dieser Struktur beschreibt der Sprecher vergangene Gewohnheiten oder Zustände, die sich geändert haben. Beispiel: „In the past, the bride used to go...“. Diese Formulierung hilft Ihnen dabei, über Veränderungen in der Zeit zu sprechen.
- Fragen mit „Did...?“ - Diese Struktur hilft, Informationen herauszufinden oder Klarheit über vergangene Ereignisse zu erlangen, was für das Verstehen von Gesprächen essenziell ist.
Häufige Aussprachefallen
Bei der englischen Aussprache gibt es einige Wörter und Ausdrücke, die für Lerner tückisch sein können:
- „customs“ - Achten Sie auf die korrekte Betonung und den Vokal, der oft falsch ausgesprochen wird.
- „groom“ und „bride“ - Diese Begriffe haben eine spezifische Aussprache, die sich von den deutschen Übersetzungen unterscheidet. Sie klingen oft ähnlich, was zu Verwirrung führen kann.
- „emirates“ - Auch hier ist es wichtig, auf die Silbenbetonung zu achten, um Missverständnisse zu vermeiden.
Ein effektiver Weg, um die Englische Aussprache zu verbessern, ist die Technik des shadowspeak. Diese Methode hilft Ihnen, den richtigen Klang und Rhythmus der Sprache zu erfassen, indem Sie die Sprecher im Video imitieren.
Nutzen Sie diese Tipps, um Ihre Fähigkeiten beim Englisch sprechen üben zu verfeinern, und betrachten Sie das Video als wertvolle Ressource für Ihre Lernreise auf einer shadowing site.
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
