1
recording 12 good morning everyone what you can see on the screen behind me is Sydney Harbour
2
and it may surprise you to learn
3
that this horrible rubbish lying at the bottom of the harbour
4
was actually put there intentionally as part of a conservation project
5
now the idea of putting rubbish into the harbour instead of cleaning it out may seem absurd to you
6
but allow me to explain Two years ago, I was involved in a study with the University of Sydney.
7
We were asked to try to calculate the number of fish and different species living in Sydney Harbour.
8
During this study, the divers noticed that in the areas cleared of rubbish, very little life remained, whereas the old cars
9
and other debris lying on the sea floor actually provided a
10
rich habitat for an abundance of creatures including up to 20 species of fish crabs
11
and seahorses and amazing plants such as sea tulips with bright red bodies we realized that
12
if you remove all of the rubbish contained in the harbour
13
then you also take away the homes of the creatures living
14
there earlier this year with the help of the sydney harbour
15
federation trust we reached a decision to expand our study and start putting rubbish back into particular areas of the harbour.
16
So far, we have used things like old car tyres and rope,
17
but we have a plan to carry out a more detailed study to test out a variety of artificial structures
18
and see whether the sea creatures in the harbour find these as attractive a home as the rubble of the past.
19
We'll also catalogue the creatures living there, and the data collected from the sites will be analysed to
20
establish whether these artificial reefs have in fact helped to increase the volume of fish in the harbour.
21
In the meantime, if you have any suggestions of other possible sites with submerged rubbish that would be suitable for our research,
22
please speak to me after the lecture.

¿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.
