Shadowing-Übung: [CAM 11] Test 2 Section 3 - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

Lektion wird erstellt...
1
I've brought my notes on our biology field trip to Rocky Bay, Colin, so we can work on our report on the research we did together.
2
OK.
3
I've got mine too.
4
Let's look at the aims of the trip first.
5
Right.
6
What did you have?
7
I just put something about getting experience of the different sorts of procedures used on a field trip.
8
But we need something about what causes different organisms to choose particular habitats.
9
I agree.
10
And something about finding out how to protect organisms in danger of dying out?
11
In our aims?
12
Hmm.
13
But we weren't really looking at that.
14
I suppose not.
15
OK, now there's the list of equipment we all had to bring on the field trip.
16
What did they tell us to bring a ruler for?
17
It was something about measuring the slope of the shore.
18
But of course we didn't need it because we were measuring wind direction and we'd brought the compass for that.
19
But not the piece of string to hold up in the air.
20
Didn't Mr Blake make a fuss about us leaving that behind?
21
Yeah, he does go on.
22
Anyway, it was easy to get one from another of the students.
23
Now, the next section's the procedure.
24
I sent you the draft of that.
25
Yeah, um, it was clear, but I don't think we need all these details of what time we left
26
and what time we got back and how we divided up the different research tasks.
27
Okay, I'll look at that again.
28
Then we have to describe our method of investigation in detail.
29
So let's begin with how we measured wave speed.
30
I was surprised how straightforward what that was?
31
I'd expected us to have some sort of high-tech device, not just stand there and count the number of waves per minute.
32
Not very precise, but I suppose it was good enough.
33
But the way we measured the amount of salt was interesting.
34
In the water from the rock pools?
35
Yeah.
36
Oh, I wanted to check the chemicals we used in the lab when we analysed those samples.
37
Was it potassium chromate and silver nitrate?
38
That's right.
39
Okay.
40
And we need the map of of the seashore.
41
You just left that to me.
42
And I had to do it while the tide was low.
43
Well, that was OK, but the place I started it from was down on the beach.
44
Then I realised I should have gone up higher to get better visibility, so I had to start all over again.
45
But at least I'd got the squared paper, or I'd have had problems drawing it all to scale.
46
Yeah, it looks good.
47
We could get a map of the region off the internet and see if we need to make any changes.
48
I had a look but I couldn't find anything.
49
But you took some pictures, didn't you?
50
Yeah, I'll email you them if you want.
51
Okay, I'll make my amendments using those, then I can scan it into our report.
52
Great!
53
Now, when we get to our findings, I thought we could divide them up into the different zones we identified on the shore
54
and the problems organisms face in each zone.
55
So for the highest area...
56
The splash zone?
57
Yeah.
58
We found mostly those tiny shellfish that have strong hard shells that act as protection.
59
But not from other organisms that might eat them?
60
Predators?
61
No, that's not the main danger for them.
62
But the shells prevent them from drying out because they're in the open air for most of the time.
63
Right.
64
And since they're exposed, they need to be able to find some sort of shelter
65
or cover themselves up so they don't get too hot.
66
Mm.
67
Then in the middle and lower zones nearer the sea, we need to discuss the effects of wave action.
68
Yes.
69
And how organisms develop structures to prevent themselves from being swept away or even destroyed by being smashed against the rocks.
70
I haven't done anything on the geological changes.
71
I don't know what to put for that.
72
No, we weren't concentrating on that.
73
Maybe we need to find some websites.
74
Good idea.
75
I've got the lecture notes from Mr Blake's geology course, but they're too general.
76
But we could ask him which books on our reading list might be most helpful.
77
Right.
78
Right.
79
OK.
80
Now, I did a draft of the section of sources of possible error in our research, but I don't know if you agree.
81
For example, the size of the sample and whether it's big enough to make any general conclusions from.
82
But I thought actually we did have quite a big sample.
83
We did.
84
And our general method of observation seemed quite reliable.
85
But we might not be all that accurate as far as the actual numbers go.
86
Yeah, we might have missed some organisms, if they were hiding under a rock, for example.
87
I wasn't sure about the way we described their habitats.
88
I decided it was probably OK.
89
Yeah, and the descriptions we gave of the smaller organisms, they weren't very detailed, but they were adequate in this context.
90
I'm not sure we identified all the species correctly, though.
91
OK, we'd better mention that.

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.
