2
but they can be dangerous if you're not prepared.
3
Imagine you went hiking with your friends or family and got lost while taking pictures of plants and animals.
4
What if you couldn't find your way back and had to wait until someone came and saved you?
5
To survive, you'd need three things.
6
Fire, water and shelter.
7
Fire is essential because mountains get cold at night, even in the summer.
8
Fire also keeps dangerous animals away and can let people know where you are.
9
Therefore, you should always carry a lighter or a box of matches with you.
10
If you don't have either of these, you can hit a rock against a piece of steel to make a spark and start a fire.
11
Just make sure that the fire doesn't spread.
12
Another thing you'll need is clean drinking water.
13
Humans can't live without water.
14
If your drinking water runs out, you'll need to find clean water as soon as possible.
15
It's best to look for running water, such as a stream or river.
16
If you can't find any, try digging a deep hole to find water underground.
17
Or, if you have any empty containers, you can use them to collect rainwater.
18
Finally, you will need some kind of shelter.
19
A cave can be a good shelter.
20
If you can't find one, find a dry, flat area, build a frame with branches, and cover it with a blanket.
21
If you don't have a blanket, cover your body with a pile of leaves instead.
22
This will keep you dry on the rainiest nights and block the wind.
23
Remember, you should never go into the mountains without the right skills and equipment.
24
But if you're prepared, you'll have a safe and enjoyable experience.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
