Section 4 You will hear a talk on the subject of birds in New Zealand First,
2
you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40
3
Thank you.
4
Now, listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
5
Good morning, everyone.
6
Today we're going to look at birds native to New Zealand, delving into the facts and exploring methods of protecting these species from extinction.
7
It may surprise you to hear that there are thousands of bird species that are endemic to New Zealand.
8
That is to say that they are not found anywhere else on the globe.
9
Since most of these birds live on a diet of freshly caught fish, they often nest along the coastline,
10
or if they need to catch freshwater fish, the neighbouring river.
11
Once they have mated, the female birds will collect twigs
12
and pieces of debris to build nests where she can safely hatch her eggs out of the reach of predators.
13
When humans arrived in New Zealand about 700 years ago, rats were carried on the ships with them.
14
The rats flourished in the warm climate and put pressure on the native bird populations, in particular on the flightless species.
15
In 1984, researchers found that only three pairs of flightless bird species remained in existence,
16
and that even these faced severe threats.
17
New Zealand is now a world leader in facilitating the recovery of severely endangered species from the brink of extinction.
18
Every year, researchers carry out surveys in order to monitor the fluctuating levels of bird numbers and species living in New Zealand.
19
due to the migration patterns of many of the species it
20
is particularly hard to estimate the bird numbers accurately since many
21
may have flown to other countries in search of mates
22
and warmer climates and thus not appear in the survey bird numbers are also particularly sensitive to environmental influences,
23
in particular to those related to human activity.
24
Everyday activities, such as farming or constructing a home, can have a massive impact on the local populations.
25
that serve as a habitat for thousands of birds can be entirely eradicated to make fields for crops
26
or to provide wood for construction having a disastrous impact it is not only the human influence
27
that threatens the future of many bird species since many predatory
28
animal species have flourished in new zealand one of these species is the mantain snake
29
which was introduced from Australia and has decimated the population of killdeer birds.
30
These birds nest on the ground and often return to find that their eggs have been devoured by the egg-eating snakes.
31
One cannot dismiss, of course, the pressure that nature itself imposes on the survival of many bird species.
32
Natural disasters, such as storms,
33
can be devastating, tearing apart forests and leaving thousands of destroyed nests in their wake.
34
Monsoons flood the rivers and often drown many of the flightless bird species that are unable to escape.
35
Unfortunately, the greatest threat to bird numbers in New Zealand is illegal hunting, which is almost impossible to prevent.
36
Many endangered bird species are on display at the National Zoo, and it is essential that urgent measures are taken to protect them.
37
The zoo recently employed an expert in bird protection,
38
who recommended that they should employ a guard to protect their birds from poachers the expert also pointed out
39
that the birds can become very stressed in situations where the public are able to approach them too closely suggesting
40
that the administration install a fence network to keep the public
41
a safe distance away from the birds despite this threat to birds in captivity it is the freely roaming birds
42
that are most at risk efforts are being made to educate people on how they can contribute towards protecting birds
43
that are living in the wild finally research has shown
44
that one of the most effective methods of informing the public on the importance of protecting the bird populations
45
is through the media.
46
I advise you all to read the articles written on this topic in specialist journals
47
and also carry out research on the internet.
48
Each and every one of you could make an enormous contribution to the protection of birds
49
if you put your mind to it.
50
That is the end of Section 4.
51
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
52
Thank you.
53
Thank you.

Praxis-Tipps für Shadowing

Um deine Englische Aussprache zu verbessern und das Shadowing effektiv zu üben, folge diesen Tipps: Der Talk hat eine moderate Geschwindigkeit mit klarer Aussprache – ideal für Einsteiger und Fortgeschrittene. Beginne damit, den Video-Audio in Abschnitte von 5-10 Sekunden aufzuteilen. Höre einen Abschnitt genau zu, dann wiederhole ihn sofort nach, wobei du die Intonation und Betonung nachahmens (shadowspeaks). Achte darauf, die Pausen zwischen den Sätzen zu beachten, um eine natürliche Flüssigkeit zu entwickeln. Wenn du Schwierigkeiten hast, wiederhole den Abschnitt bis zu 5 Mal, bis du die Rhythmik beherrschst. Dieses Verfahren, auch "shadowspeak" genannt, hilft dir, deine Aussprache zu verfeinern und gleichzeitig das Hörverständnis zu stärken. Übe täglich 10-15 Minuten, und du wirst schnell Fortschritte bei deiner Fähigkeit, Englisch flüssig zu sprechen, bemerken.

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.
