15
C. As more wild weather events happen, people are asking questions.
16
What is happening with the weather? And why?
17
Is this natural?
18
Or are we to blame?
19
D. The answer seems to be a little of both.
20
Wild weather is natural, but most scientists agree human activity has made the Earth warmer.
21
This global warming makes heat waves more likely.
22
The higher temperatures also cause more water to enter the air.
23
This causes heavier and more frequent rain.
24
Many scientists also believe global warming makes hurricanes and other storms stronger.
25
E. This means we're likely to see more wild weather.
26
But we don't have to just stand there and take it, says scientist Michael Oppenheimer.
27
He and other experts say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer.
28
We also need to be prepared to do things that will help save lives.

¿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.
