1
personal computers have become smaller yet increasingly more powerful today many daily
2
Early activities involve mobile communication and computer access both in and outside the home.
3
For some inventors, the next step is to integrate computers into accessories or into smart clothing, thus creating wearable computers.
4
Martin Kelly reports.
5
The concept of wearable computers is hardly innovative.
6
Early attempts at manufacturing them produced clumsy results.
7
The wearer had to wrap himself in wires
8
or strap a strange -looking device to his forehead and carry a backpack of computer equipment.
9
The technology didn't sell because in today's world, appearance is everything.
10
However, today's wearable computers may provide the solution.
11
Professor Tanya Carter is here to tell us more.
12
Wearable technology is evolving so fast that it has become not only extremely convenient, but a fashion statement too. For example,
13
handheld computers have been miniaturized enough to be strapped to the wrist like a watch not much larger than the average chronometer.
14
Though limited in applications, it is only a matter of time before the watch has full computing capacity.
15
This could eliminate the need to carry a laptop.
16
And rather than attaching all kinds of objects to a jacket, researchers are creating state -of -the -art textiles with electronics built in.
17
One such textile is composed of small patches of fabric into which minuscule computer chips have been embedded.
18
These patches are assembled with Velcro that conducts electricity to create a purse similar in appearance to an ordinary leather purse.
19
This purse provides you with information, such as the latest weather forecast.
20
It can also keep track of your wallet via a minute radio signaling chip attached to the wallet.
21
Sensors integrated into the purse's fabric transmit a message to alert you if the wallet is not inside.
22
This purse even allows you to upload your favorite music onto your music player, which, incidentally, could soon be inside your scarf.
23
I understand that scientists are creating accessories, but there are other innovations in the field of computer -integrated clothing, right?
24
What kind of initiatives are underway to adapt wearable computers for use in fields like health and emergency services?
25
Well, as monitors, wearable computers have many applications.
26
For example, a smart armband registers data about the wearer's physical condition.
27
It can help people lose weight by telling them how many calories they're burning at any given time during exercise.
28
Doctors could also use it to monitor the well -being of the elderly and infants, too.
29
One ingenious adaptation is a shirt made of a special fabric that has the capacity to analyze the wearer's heart rate,
30
respiration, and other key health indicators.
31
For example, it is being used today in medical research to examine the effectiveness of certain new heart treatments.
32
And since it can measure stress levels and body heat,
33
it could be used to monitor firefighters at a blaze or to allow a mother to check on her asthmatic child.
34
Another wearable item
35
that has proved remarkably helpful to runners who want to keep
36
fit is a sensor embedded into the sole of their running shoes.
37
The sensor relays information about the speed
38
and the distance you've covered to your iPod
39
and can change the music track to another song with a faster or slower tempo, thus encouraging you to accelerate your pace or reduce your speed.
40
The sensor is invisible and the earphones are the same as the ones on a regular iPod.
41
So fashion -wise, the wearer would not feel conspicuous.
42
Obviously, as technology advances, so will the wearable computer.
43
Ultimately, it could be a smart assistant that goes wherever we go, registering and analyzing data about us and our environment.
44
Number 1.
45
Why were the first wearable computers unsuccessful?
46
Number two.
47
What development has improved wearable computers?
48
Number three.
49
What is unusual about the new purse?
50
Number 4.
51
How have wearable computers helped medical research?
52
Number 5.
53
Why are wearable computers useful in fitness training?
54
The wearer had to wrap himself in wires
55
or strap a strange -looking device to his forehead and carry a backpack of computer equipment.
56
The technology didn't sell because in today's world, appearance is everything.
57

58

59

60

61

62

63
fit is a sensor embedded into the sole of their running shoes.
64
The sensor relays information about the speed and the distance you've covered to your iPod.
65
Thank you.
66
Thank you.

Wortschatz und Sprechhinweise zu dieser Lektion

Diese Sprechübung basiert auf dem Video „TOEFL Listening Practice“. Diese Wörter kommen am häufigsten vor: computer, wearable, sensor, wallet, purse. Dieses Video enthält 66 Sätze und 810 Wörter zum Nachsprechen. Der gesprochene Teil dauert 8:04. Der Sprecher spricht langsam, etwa 100 Wörter pro Minute, sodass genug Zeit bleibt, jeden Laut nachzuahmen. Nur 74 % der Wörter gehören zu den 3.000 häufigsten im Englischen, der Wortschatz ist also anspruchsvoll.

Grammatik in diesem Video

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

StrukturIm Video
Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig isthave become · has become · have been miniaturized
Passiv be + Partizip Perfekt – wichtig ist, was geschieht, nicht wer es tuthave been miniaturized · is composed · are assembled

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest

Der Sprecher verwendet 5 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel didn't, you've, they're. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.

  • Die „th“-Laute: clothing /ˈkloʊðɪŋ/, leather /ˈlɛðɚ/
  • Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: shoe /ˈʃu/, unusual /ʌnˈjuːʒ(u)əl/, initiative /ɪˈnɪʃ.ə.tɪv/, innovation /ˌɪn.əˈveɪ.ʃən/, adaptation /ˌæd.æpˈteɪ.ʃən/
  • Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: effectiveness /ɪˈfɛk.tɪv.nɪs/, remarkably /ɹɪˈmɑɹkəbli/, accessory /əkˈsɛs.(ə.)ɹi/, unusual /ʌnˈjuːʒ(u)əl/, electricity /ɪˌlɛkˈtɹɪsɪti/

Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:

  • /w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): wallet /ˈwɑl.ət/, wire /ˈwaɪɚ/, wherever /(h)wɛɹˈɛvɚ/, underway /ʌndəɹˈweɪ/, wearable /wɛə̯ɹəbl̩/
  • Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: forehead /ˈfɔɹ.hɛd/, analyze /ˈæn.əˌlaɪz/, evolve /ɪˈvɑlv/, encourage /ɪnˈkʌɹ.ɪd͡ʒ/, initiative /ɪˈnɪʃ.ə.tɪv/
  • /æ/ — offener als „ä“: fabric /ˈfæb.ɹɪk/, strap /stɹæp/, attach /əˈtæt͡ʃ/, patch /pæt͡ʃ/, wrap /ɹæp/

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 sensor, wallet, purse.

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.
