The Secrets in the Sand.
4
In 1823, a young woman noticed a strange fossil on a beach near Lime Regis, England.
5
She dug out the bones and had them carried to her home.
6
She carefully arranged the skeleton on a table.
7
Then she saw something extraordinary.
8
Mary.
9
The creature's neck was a metre long, more than half the length of its body.
10
It was unlike any animal living on earth.
11
Even at a young age, Mary Anning had a talent for spotting curies, unusual or curious fossils.
12
Her father died in 1810, leaving her family in debt.
13
So, Mary began selling her fossils to collectors.
14
A year later, aged just twelve, she made her first major discovery.
15
A crocodile-like skull with a long skeleton.
16
It turned out to be a sea creature that lived long ago, named ichthyosaur, or fish lizard.
17
It was the first extinct animal known to science.
18
Fossil hunting brought in money, but it was a dangerous occupation.
19
One day, a rock fall killed her dog and almost buried Mary.
20
Despite the dangers, she continued to look for new finds.
21
The long-necked fossil she uncovered in 1823 was another long dead sea reptile.
22
Known as a plesiosaur, it would inspire legends, including that of the Loch Ness Monster.
23
Five years later, she found a fossil with wing bones and a long tail.
24
It was one of the first examples of a pterosaur, a flying creature that disappeared millions of years ago.
25
Mary was not only a skilled fossil hunter.
26
She also carefully examined and recorded her finds.
27
However, she received little credit from other scientists.
28
Only one of her scientific writings was published in her lifetime in 1839.
29
She was also not allowed to join London's Geological Society, as only men could become members.
30
Mary Anning died in 1847, but her contributions have not been forgotten.
31
Her finds are now displayed in museums in London and Paris.
32
The beach near her home is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Jurassic Coast.
33
Her life continues to inspire visitors hoping to find their own fossil wonders.
34
According to Britain's Natural History Museum, Mary Anning was the greatest fossil hunter the world has ever known.
35
She was also a scientist who changed the way we think about life on Earth.
À propos de cette leçon
Vous vous entraînez en anglais avec "RE2 Unit 5A" en utilisant la technique du Shadowing.
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.
