Track 20.

Reading 10b.

Life on the Edge.

The old ways have little appeal for Malik Lovstrom.

A slim 24 -year -old, Lovstrom has lived his whole life in Eumenach.

The people in this small town on Greenland's west coast survive mainly on seal hunting and fishing.

But Lovstrom's interests lie elsewhere, in rock music and horror movies.

He taught himself English by listening to music, and now dreams of working as a tour guide on Greenland's cruise ships.

He knows he should move to a larger town, as many of his friends have done.

But doing so would leave no one to care for his 80 -year -old grandmother.

So he remains in Umanach.

Small towns all over Greenland are losing population.

Nyoranet, a settlement near Umanac, is now home to just 50 people.

The instability of towns like these has worsened as a result of climate change.

Ice loss has shortened the hunting season.

And as a result, traditional hunting and fishing can no longer pay for access to modern amenities.

Long before the sea ice disappears, economic and social pressures may force people to leave these settlements.

The question of what to do about this problem is a common topic of debate at gatherings known as Café Mique.

At one community gathering, Jean -Michel Huckton, a French anthropologist, gets into a lively discussion with a man who has moved to Nook,

Greenland's largest town.

The subject is the future of places like Nyarinet and whether they even have one.

If we don't move out of isolation, we will always be conservative.

The man from Nook tells Huckton, I don't want to live in a museum.

I don't want to live in the old way.

My son, my daughter should be part of the world.

The traditional lifestyles survive only because of government subsidies, he argues.

This approach forces young people into a life of hunting and fishing, rather than encouraging them to look beyond tradition.

But job opportunities in Greenland are few, Huckedon counters.

Anyway, what would happen to the older hunters?

Should they give up their independence, their boats and dog sleds, and live in a city apartment building?

The loss of settlements would be a loss for all, he says.

Such places preserve Inuit hunting culture.

But Huckton is hopeful.

I think these small, remote communities can invent a sustainable future for themselves, he says.

The people have gone from hunting to Facebook in less than a century.

I'm sure they will succeed in the future.

Fewer people are choosing to stay, however.

Even fewer arrive from outside.

An exception is Alanguj Egadei, who moved to Nyarnet to be with his girlfriend.

His first job was cleaning the town's toilets, but now he manages the town's power plant.

I like it here a lot, he says.

I have a home and a nice salary.

You can feel the freshness here.

And it's open, he says.

I don't want to move anyplace else.

¿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.
