Today, you will hear part of a lecture about land diving in Vanuatu.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 10.
3
Thank you.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 10.
5
Hello, everyone.
6
My name is Thomas Johnson.
7
Thank you for coming along to today's lecture.
8
I have recently returned from a tour of the Pacific Islands,
9
and today I will speak on the topic of the land diving ceremonies of Pentecost Island in Vanuatu.
10
You may have heard about this practice or have seen it on television, but it is still quite unbelievable to see it in person.
11
For those who are not aware of it, I would like to give you a basic introduction.
12
The practice involves the native people tying vines around their ankles and jumping off platforms in a way similar to bungee jumping.
13
In fact, it is said to have been the original inspiration for bungee jumping.
14
You might first wonder who the participants are in this ceremony.
15
Well, only men can take part, whereas women are not allowed to participate,
16
despite the fact that the legend from which the ceremony originates names a woman as the original diver.
17
Boys can begin to participate around the ages of seven or eight as a rite of passage or initiation.
18
However, other children are not included.
19
The ceremonies are held each year during the dry season between April and June.
20
This is for two reasons.
21
Firstly, lianus, the vines which are used in the ceremony, are at their most elastic during this period.
22
Secondly, the ceremony is set to celebrate and bring blessings on the annual yam harvest, and it is a great attraction for the villagers,
23
with everyone attending to sing, dance, and encourage the bravery of the divers.
24
The ceremony is also said to bring personal benefits to the divers, such as increasing the masculinity and strength of the man.
25
Taking part is considered a kind of cleansing for the man.
26
Now, I would like to provide you with some details about land diving.
27
Well, the preparation of the towers is a major event for the village,
28
and many men in the village prepare them for the ceremony in preceding weeks.
29
The tower and platforms are built.
30
Additionally, the soil is worked over to ensure it is moistened and raked to make it softer.
31
If the soil is too dry, the diver will be injured when he touches the ground.
32
You might wonder how the jumpers protect themselves from injury.
33
During a dive, the diver tucks his head in.
34
The optimal outcome is that the shoulders of the diver brush the ground.
35
But this depends on the selection of the individual vine, which is chosen to suit each diver's height and weight but without any scientific measurements.
36
While it is impossible to eliminate every danger, such as the danger of hitting the ground or the tower itself,
37
it is considered important if the length of the vine is incorrect.
38
Obstacles such as rocks will need to be removed.
39
Usually around 15 to 25 men from each village will participate in the annual diving ceremony.
40
Since their age and experience vary, they will dive from towers of various elevations.
41
The lowest may be around 10 meters, while the highest may be over 30 meters.
42
The boards, set at the various heights, are designed to break as the diver reaches the end of his dive, absorbing some of the impact.
43
The Vanuatu Tourism Council encourages widespread reports about the ceremonies in the international to boost tourism,
44
which in turn supports the local economy and charity programs.
45
Many of the local villages allow tourists to visit during their ceremonies as it allows them to earn money.
46
However, this practice is controversial, as some feel that it may have negative effects on the integrity and authenticity of the ceremony.
47
For the same reason, commercial filming of important ceremonies has been underbanned for more than 10 years.
48
Only films for educational purposes are allowed.
49
Now, let's begin to… That is the end of today's practice.

Thank you.

Grammatik in diesem Video

Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:

StrukturIm Video
Passiv be + Partizip Perfekt – wichtig ist, was geschieht, nicht wer es tutis said · are not allowed · are not included
Relativsätze who / which + Satz – eine Zusatzinformation über eine Person oder Sachethose who are · vines which are · vine, which is
Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig isthave seen · has been underbanned

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest

  • Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: inspiration /ˌɪn.spɪˈɹeɪ.ʃən/, preparation /ˌpɹɛpəˈɹeɪʃ(ə)n/, brush /bɹʌʃ/, controversial /ˌkɑn.tɹəˈvɝ.ʃəl/, attraction /əˈtɹækʃn̩/
  • Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: ceremony /ˈsɛɹ.əˌmoʊ.ni/, participate /pɑːˈtɪs.ɪ.peɪt/, inspiration /ˌɪn.spɪˈɹeɪ.ʃən/, preparation /ˌpɹɛpəˈɹeɪʃ(ə)n/, controversial /ˌkɑn.tɹəˈvɝ.ʃəl/

Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:

  • /w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/, widespread /ˌwaɪdˈspɹɛd/
  • Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: dive /daɪv/, encourage /ɪnˈkʌɹ.ɪd͡ʒ/, legend /ˈlɛd͡ʒ.ənd/, whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/, involve /ɪnˈvɑlv/
  • /æ/ — offener als „ä“: charity /ˈtʃæɹɪti/, whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/, passage /ˈpæsɪd͡ʒ/, attraction /əˈtɹækʃn̩/, ankle /ˈæŋ.kəl/

So übst du mit diesem Video

  1. Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
  2. Sprich Satz für Satz in normaler Geschwindigkeit nach und wiederhole jeden, bis dein Rhythmus zum Sprecher passt.
  3. Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie ceremony, dive, vine.

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.
