Part 2.
2
You'll hear an explorer called Richard Livingston talking about a trippy made in the rainforest of South America.
3
For questions 7 to 14, complete the sentences.
4
You now have 45 seconds to look at Part 2.
5
Thank you.
6
I'd set off with my friend Matthew Price to sail down a little-known river in the rainforest in a homemade boat.
7
Our original idea was to go all the way by boat, carrying it past any rough bits, but the river was much rockier and faster flowing than we'd thought,
8
which meant we were only covering a few kilometres each day.
9
Then suddenly we realised that as the river was about to go over a waterfall, we could go no further by boat.
10
As it was only a homemade thing, we decided to abandon it and walk to the nearest road.
11
As far as we knew, there were no villages or trading posts along the way, and on our map it looked like a hundred kilometre walk.
12
And that walk, through thick rainforest with 25 kilos on our backs was difficult.
13
We walked for six days.
14
It was hot and we were permanently wet through before we came to any sign of civilisation.
15
There were times when we really wondered if we'd ever get out of that jungle alive.
16
Then on the seventh day we suddenly came across a path.
17
Not an animal trail, but a man-made so we knew there must be people living there.
18
It was going roughly in the right direction, so we followed it, and at dusk we came to a deserted camp in a hollow.
19
Deserted, but not uninhabited.
20
There was digging equipment wrapped in plastic, alongside two water-filled holes.
21
Obviously someone had been digging in search of gold at some time or another.
22
Nearby, on a rough wooden table, were some cooking utensils and a few other supplies, and whoever was camping there must have been intending to return soon,
23
because there was a large pot full of thick soup.
24
We couldn't identify either the strange-looking pieces of meat or the unfamiliar vegetables it seemed to be made from, but we were in a desperate state.
25
Over the previous seven days, we'd only had flour and rice to eat, and although we had plenty left, we were low on energy.
26
This was our greatest problem.
27
So, we cooked up some of our rice and decided to have two spoonfuls from the pot with it.
28
It was good, so we had another spoonful. And then another.
29
Soon nothing was left of our host's meal.
30
Afterwards we began to get worried.
31
People living this sort of life could be very tough, and this one could return any minute.
32
We decided to make an early start.
33
To show we were grateful, we placed thirty dollars in the cleaned-out cooking pot.
34
It was quite a lot for the quantity of food.
35
It was probably only worth ten dollars or so.
36
But that wasn't the point.
37
This man wouldn't be able to pop to the supermarket to replace the food we'd eaten.
38
But I have no regrets, because that dinner gave us the strength to make it the rest of the way through the jungle safely.
39
Now you'll hear the recording again.

Now turn to part three.

Über diese Lektion

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.
