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 and it starts at 11 o'clock and lasts for 60 minutes.
19
At midday, that's 12 o'clock,
20
there's a film which is just as fascinating
21
and it's called the great migration this is all about birds
22
and how they migrate across continents and oceans using the sun the stars
23
and the earth's magnetic field as i said it's a film an absolutely spectacular film
24
which all the family will enjoy some fabulous photography
25
and it's on in theater c which you can see here just behind me
26
so bear that in mind for 12 o'clock
27
The next event is a demonstration taking place in the exhibition room and given by Monica Chadda.
28
It's called Encouraging Garden Wildlife.
29
Monica will be showing you ways of encouraging animals,
30
birds and other wildlife to visit and live in your garden,
31
how to place boxes for nests,
32
what food to put out for them and all sorts of practical advice.
33
at 2.30, so just after lunch.
34
The final free event for today is Birds of Prey.
35
Tasha, their keeper, will be giving a display of some of our most magnificent birds and how they fly,
36
and I thoroughly recommend this event.
37
The display includes eagles, vultures and owls,
38
and will be starting at 3.45 on the lawn outside.
39
It's an unforgettable experience.
40
So remember, on the front lawn at 3.45 to see the birds flying.

42
Exercise 5
43
now i'll just give you a few directions before you leave
44
especially for those of you who are feeling a bit hungry
45
when you leave the main building you come to an area where the path divides
46
if you take the right hand path you'll see the lake on your right
47
and exactly opposite the lake on your left is the gift shop apart from selling gifts it sells snacks sandwiches
48
and light drinks.
49
If you walk on past the lake,
50
on your right, you'll also see the penguins.
51
Go past the penguins and you'll come to the restaurant,
52
also on your right.
53
Don't go too far or you'll come to the aquarium.
54
The aquarium is on your right at the crossroad and just over the crossroad,
55
also on your right, is the lion enclosure.
56
If you're thinking of having a picnic,
57
the best place to go is the picnic area
58
and for this you need to turn left at the crossroad and walk along a few metres
59
at the end of the path you'll find the picnic area on your left
60
now if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them
61
and once again I really hope you enjoy your visit thank you

¿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.
