Lesson 11 The Future of Driving Gasoline-powered Cars vs. Electric Cars Today,
2
most cars use energy made by burning fossil fuels like gasoline.
3
But there are many problems with fossil fuels, including high prices and air pollution.
4
For these reasons, people have been trying to find better forms of energy to power their cars.
5
One of the alternatives to today's gasoline-powered cars is the electric car.
6
Let's take a look at some of the differences between electric cars and gasoline-powered cars.
7
Energy Electric cars get their power from electricity that is stored inside a rechargeable battery.
8
On the other hand, gasoline-powered cars' engines use energy produced by the burning of fossil fuels.
9
Recharge or refuel The average gasoline-powered car can only be refueled at gas stations.
10
It takes less than five minutes to fill the empty tank.
11
On the other hand, electric cars can be recharged not only at charging stations,
12
but also in other places, like your home unlike refueling though it takes about six
13
or seven hours to charge depending on the size of the battery
14
cost according to research driving an electric car costs about 1.25 cents per kilometer
15
while driving a gasoline-powered car costs a little more than 12.5 cents per kilometer this means
16
that driving an electric car costs about 90% less than driving a gasoline-powered car.
17
Environmental impact.
18
Gasoline-powered cars have a huge environmental impact because when they burn fossil fuels, they release CO2 into the atmosphere.
19
On the other hand, electric cars don't release any emissions when driven.
20
However, electric cars indirectly harm the environment because they use electricity that is often created by burning fossil fuels.
21
Speed Gasoline-powered cars can go much faster than electric cars.
22
An electric car can reach top speeds of only 160 kilometers per hour,
23
while some gasoline-powered cars can go faster than 480 kilometers per hour.

¿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.
