1
Unit 6.
2
A in one cubic foot.
3
A in any environment, forest, mountain, water, you always see the big animals first.
4
Birds, mammals, fish.
5
But under your feet, both on land and in the water, there are many smaller organisms.
6
Insects, tiny plants, miniature sea creatures.
7
They may seem unimportant, but in fact these sea creatures and ground dwellers are the heart of life on Earth, according to naturalist E.O.
8
Wilson.
9
Without them, our world would be a very different place.
10
The cycle of life.
11
Busymost organisms on earth live on the ground or just below it.
12
Here, they are part of an important cycle.
13
When plants and animals die, they fall to the ground.
14
Later, tiny insects and other organisms break down the dead plant and animal material.
15
This process eventually returns nutrients too to the soil and gives living plants energy.
16
These plants can then help to maintain a healthy environment for humans and other animals.
17
Discoveries in a Cube C Despite their importance, scientists know very little about most ground organisms.
18
To learn more, photographer David Leitschwager went to different places around the world, including a forest and a coral reef.
19
In each place, he put a green 30-centimetre cube on the ground or in the water.
20
Then he and his team counted and photographed the organisms that lived in or moved through the cube.
21
Often they discovered hundreds of organisms, some only a millimetre in size.
22
It was like finding little gems, he says.
23
Three gems are beautiful stones used in jewellery.
24
Coral Reef Moria, French Polynesia.
25
Here, Leedschwager photographed over 600 creatures in the cube.
26
The team identified as many as possible but it was difficult.
27
Many of the animals they found were new species.
28
Tropical Cloud Forest Monteverde, Costa Rica.
29
There are many different types of plants in this region.
30
Almost 125 species that live here are found nowhere else on Earth.

¿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.
