1
Hi there everybody and welcome to Animal World.
2
Before you start your visit,
3
I'd just like to tell you about a few special events happening here today.
4
They're all free, and I'd really encourage you to go to as many of them as you can,
5
as I think you'll learn a lot.
6
The first event is called the World of Ants,
7
and it's happening this morning,
8
quite soon, in the Insect House,
9
which is just a short walk from here.
10
The well-known entomologist Dr David Crocker,
11
who many of you will have seen on television,
12
is giving a lecture all about ants,
13
the different types of ants,
14
how they organise themselves, what they eat,
15
their behaviour and so on.
16
It's actually a fascinating subject.
17
So, The World of Ants,
18
a lecture by Dr Crocker in the insect house,
19
and it starts at 11 o'clock and lasts for 60 minutes.
20
At midday, that's 12 o'clock,
21
there's a film which is just as fascinating,
22
and it's called The Great Migration.
23
This is all about birds and how they migrate across continents and oceans using the sun,
24
the stars and the Earth's magnetic field.
25
As I said, it's a film,
26
an absolutely spectacular film, which all the family will enjoy,
27
some fabulous photography, and it's on in Theatre C,
28
which you can see here just behind me,
29
so bear that in mind for 12 o'clock.
30
The next event is a demonstration,
31
taking place in the exhibition room and given by Monica Chadda.
32
It's called Encouraging Garden Wildlife.
33
Monica will be showing you ways of encouraging animals,
34
birds and other wildlife to visit and live in your garden,
35
how to place boxes for nests,
36
what food to put out for them and all sorts of practical advice.
37
That's at 2.30, so just after lunch.
38
The final free event for today is Birds of Prey.
39
Tasha, their keeper, will be giving a display of some of our most magnificent birds and how they fly,
40
and I thoroughly recommend this event.
41
The display includes eagles, vultures and owls,
42
and will be starting at 3.45 on the lawn outside.
43
It's an unforgettable experience.
44
So remember, on the front lawn at 3.45 to see the birds flying.
45
Track 28, Unit 5, Listening,
46
Exercise 5 Now, I'll just give you a few directions before you leave,
47
especially for those of you who are feeling a bit hungry.
48
When you leave the main building,
49
you come to an area where the path divides.
50
If you take the right-hand path,
51
you'll see the lake on your right,
52
and exactly opposite the lake on your left is the gift shop.
53
Apart from selling gifts, it sells snacks, sandwiches and light drinks.
54
If you walk on past the lake,
55
on your right, you'll also see the penguins.
56
Go past the penguins and you'll come to the restaurant,
57
also on your right.
58
Don't go too far or you'll come to the aquarium.
59
The aquarium is on your right at the crossroad,
60
and just over the crossroad,
61
also on your right, is the lion enclosure.
62
If you're thinking of having a picnic,
63
the best place to go is the picnic area.
64
And for this, you need to turn left at the crossroad and walk along a few metres.
65
At the end of the path,
66
you'll find the picnic area on your left.
67
Now, if you have any questions,
68
I'd be happy to answer them,
69
and once again, I really hope you enjoy your visit.
70
Thank you.
71
Track 29, Unit 5, Speaking,
72
Exercise 3 Which are your favourite animals?
73
Cats.
74
Well, I love my cat because I've had him for nearly a year now,
75
and I love him.
76
He's so beautiful.
77
He's black with a white nose.
78
He sleeps on my bed every night and he,
79
I'm not sure how you say this,
80
but when he's there, I'm not alone.
81
And I'm quite keen on birds.
82
There are lots in the gardens around my house.
83
Which animals don't you like?
84
I hate insects in the summer.
85
They're horrible.
86
Why?
87
Well, I live near a large river and there are lots of...I don't know what their name is in English.
88
Small insects, fish bite and come at night.
89
I'm not too keen on flies either.
90
Where are the best places in your country to see wildlife?
91
That's a difficult question.
92
I'm not sure.
93
There are so many places with wildlife,
94
but I'm not sure how easy it is to see the animals because it's really forest with many trees.
95
How popular is watching wildlife in your country?
96
It's hard to say.
97
What is the activity called?
98
Hunting is quite popular for some types of animal,
99
but watching wildlife, I don't think I know if it's popular or not.
100
I think people like to go to zoos,
101
but it's not the same.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
