Unit 2.
2
Bee Adventure Islands A Vanuatu is a nation of small islands in the South Pacific.
3
It is one of the smallest countries in the world, but for those interested in adventure and sport, there is a lot to do.
4
Some of the best swimming, snorkelling and sea kayaking can be found here.
5
Vanuatu's islands also offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world, volcano surfing and land diving.
6
Volcano surfing.
7
B. On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 300 meters into the sky.
8
Yasur is one of Vanuatu's few active volcanoes.
9
It erupts almost every day, sometimes several times a day.
10
For centuries, both locals and tourists have climbed this mountain to visit the top.
11
Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano.
12
In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it's very different.
13
A volcano surfer's goal is to escape the erupting volcano without being hit by flying rocks.
14
It's fast, fun and dangerous.
15
The perfect extreme sport.
16
Land diving.
17
See, most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but did you know that bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu almost 15 centuries ago?
18
The original activity, called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony.
19
A man ties two tree vines around his ankles.
20
He then climbs a wooden tower around 20 to 30 metres high, crosses his arms and jumps head first.
21
The goal is to touch the earth with the top of his head, without breaking the vines or hitting the ground hard.
22
Every spring, local boys and men still perform this amazing test of bravery.
23
Women are not allowed to dive, but they support the divers by dancing and singing at the bottom of the tower.
24
Many tourists come to the island every year to watch this ancient tradition.

¿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.
